[Round 1]

I remind you that you Sir Mormesk tasked us with bringing you Nezzner's head? We had apprehended him and were on the verge of completing this task when you demanded his release. By this I consider our promise fulfilled!...



Meanwhile, Mormesk and the Spectator:



Show them your power and the crystal! Maybe they recognize your authority! But in any case let us focus on Nezzner first!



A thought enters your mind:
"Should I punch them? As for the crystal, it's in the pack... somewhere."

Unfazed, Yulya gives Cat the signal to attack. She forms an Emboldening Bond between Alice and Cat and with one use of the Ring of Quick Casting casts Bless on her 3 teammates.

Haah? Didn't you abduct those girls for exactly that sort of thing?

He says in a smooth, uncaring, somewhat disgusted tone, "I try not to think about what the pigs do in the barn. Now, if you'll excuse me."

[Initiative 1d20+2 vs 1d20+3 12 vs 8, Nezzner wins]



As Alice is distracted commenting on the goddess processed underage girl like a creep...

Unable to finish her task, the Bulette was left dead but not headless, so Nezzner casts Animate Dead on the Bulette.

The zombie Bulette approaches. M3gan transforms back into M3gan Panther and heads off to attack.

[POUNCE, HIT CLAW, NICK, CHARGER vs AC22 1d20+10+5+1d4=(CR,25),(CM,25), ACTION SURGE GRAPPLE (2 attempts) vs DC20 1d20+7=(25,16)][HIT BITE, Extra Attack x2 vs AC22 1d20+10+1d4=(CR,20),(14,27),(17,CR)][DMG Clawx3(1 cr) Bitex3(1 cr) 4d6+20+(2d6+10)x2=34+24]

In an absolute exhibition of claws and teeth, strategically waiting for it to come to her, thereby disallowing it a chance to attack, M3gan Panther shows the true potential of a highly honed fighter, dealing magic piercing blows to the reanimated Bulette and doing significant damage in the process.

Nezzner, first taking his staff back from a distracted Mormesk with a bonus action, moves east toward the Spectator and ends up 20ft east.

The spectator's flaming skulls move to get a clear shot at Mormesk and fire rays of lightning bolt and fire bolt.

[SAVE DEX vs DC13 1d20+3=(19,19)] 

Mormesk dodges the rays and casts Greater Hedged Imprisonment.



A skeletal judge  appears from the negative plane sitting at a regal wooden desk engraved with macabre scenes of skeleton warriors and angels caught in epic battle. The spectator is restrained by spectral chains that glint in the cave lights that line the walls. The judge seems to be looking over dark ethereal paperwork and points a long boney finger at the Spectator. Though he says nothing audible, it's clear a conversation is occurring between them on another plane.

[SAVE vs DC20, 1d20+3=7]

The judge pounds a ornate ebony gavel and both the judge and the Spectator are instantly teleported out of the material plane. Yulya can instantly tell that the barrier the Spectator has been maintaining is down. This means too that Nezzner has a chance to escape.

You get a communication from Mormesk, "I presume you can handle this situation, I shall return soon to collect my payment as we previously agreed." He disappears without a trace.

Alice easily catches up to him, cracks her nonexistent knuckles and with Yulya's signal and Cat moving in, it's time to roll.

With the speed and ferocity of a mongoose, Alice charges Nezzner and attempts to grapple him and shove him pone. She expends 1 Ki point for flurry of blows, giving her 3 attempts to reach this goal.

[Grapple/Shove vs DC15 1d20+2=(19,20,11)][Since Nezzner is the one rolling, neither EB nor Bless apply]

Nezzner is taken down on the third attempt and as Alice holds him he says in frustration, "This is outrageous!" His struggles are moot.

Alice fixates Nezzner and prioritizes keeping him from using somatic or verbal commands. She tries stretching out his arms for Cat to cut off his rings.

[Cat lost initiative so I had to reimagine her moves.]

Cat catches him and enters rage again, gaining 4 temporary hitpoints. Following Yulya's order, she attempts to cut off Nezzner's rings with a heavy strike of her Greatsword, flanking with Alice.

[Heavy strike? M'kay]

[HIT vs AC12 1d20+7-5+2d4=28, LUCK 1d20=15][Damage applies only to the focused action, three fingers were severed.]

With a focused and deft heavy blow Cat manages to lop off three of his rings. As the fingers separate from his body, you see one of them clearly attempting to heal before it falls helplessly to the ground, another instantly disappears to an unknown location using greater teleport, a third clings to life for a few moments before finally giving up the ring. As you can clearly see, he had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

With Nezzner grappled and relieved of at least some of his magical items (he still has a ring and an amulet), with a second use of the ring of quick casting, Yulya boosts Sacred Flame to the max with the focus and the goblin staff and casts it on Nezzner.

[Sacred Flame boosted to level 3.75 vs DC15 DEX 1d20+2=(21,20) WILD 1d100=96 LUCK 1d20=11 POTENCY=12]

From wild magic, every creature within 30ft has gained immunity to normal piercing damage for the next minute.

With enough leeway to dodge, but at the disadvantage of Alice's grapple, Nezzner defies logic and avoids all damage from Yulya's attack!

You are left with the flaming skulls, the Bulette, and Nezzner who could still be a challenge.

[Make your moves]

The power surrounding Mormesk spikes and an ancient clock forms over his head, the hands of the clock tick forward slowly at first but they speed until a loud melodic bell rings. According to the clock, 24 hours have advanced.
Alice suddenly sees Nezzner for who he is and is no longer charmed
Alice rubs her eyes and looks around, spotting Nezzner!
Heyyy, wait a minute!
Weren't we here for this guy to begin with? I wanted to set him on fire! What happened?


A rumbling sound is heard and from the crystal chamber, a set of three glowing orbs descend from above and approach.
Alice follows the conversation between Mormesk, the Spectator and Nezzner with visible annoyance. She assumes Nezzner's doing the same to them he did to her to trick her. But equally assuming nobody would listen to her anyway, she lets Yulya handle the conversation.

M3gan panther is watching this all unfold and with a sudden shedding of metal forms into Ashley's naked body, M3gan has returned. She approaches until she's even with Nezzner.
She looks amused.
Nezzner glances down at her and then looks away, "Ugh, the bodies of humans are so offensive! Have you no shame?!"
Alice looks confused.
Haah? Didn't you abduct those girls for exactly that sort of thing?

She looks at Ashley's body.
Quite alright, no idea why she's always so prudent. Not like she's ugly...
So girls - I think it's time to finish our job and eliminate the pest here!

Alice cracks her nonexistent knuckles and with Yulya's signal and Cat moving in, it's time to roll.
With the speed and ferocity of a mongoose, Alice charges Nezzner and attempts to grapple him and shove him pone. She expends 1 Ki point for flurry of blows, giving her 3 attacks to reach this goal. If she gets him, Alice fixates Nezzner and prioritizes keeping him from using somatic or verbal commands. If posible she'll try stretching out his arms for Cat to cut off his rings. If she has an unarmed strike left with her 3 attacks, Alice spends another Ki point for Hand of Harm.

Cut off his hands but spare his ears if you can!

I'll fixate him!

I'm not too optimistic we can reason with those 2 demented fellas, but reasonably, we can't fight them. The Spectator's skulls at best but that's it. We gotta take out Nezzner, hoping Mormesk or the Spectator doesn't attack us. If those guys try to eliminate each other afterwards, it's best to stay out.

The way I decided targeted attack works is, you lose advantage or gain disadvantage.

I say he has 4 rings, two on each hand, you have one shot to hit the hand, if hit you will potentially cut off the fingers in question. It's by no means a guaranteed maneuver.

If someone grappled and mobilizes him, then the successful hit will accomplish it without a second roll.

To lop off a head, you need a targeted critical hit or great RNG.

After an eternity I remembered a vivid dream!
I was sitting on a bench in a run-down park in West Asia. Maybe India. More wilderness than an orderly park. Definitely not Singapore.
To my left was a gate, and one by one, dinosaurs of increasing size showed up and were introduced. First they were just skeletons, but moving D&D style. Then they turned into flesh and blood dinosaurs. The first one was an small nimble predator the size of a chicken. An off-voice praised it as a good pest control as it would eat mice and roaches. It turned into flesh and blood, it had a grey hide ad a long tail. It disappeared in the bushes. Larger and larger skeletons appeared ta the gate, all bipedal dinosaurs. But most looked like a bad reconstruction from the early 20th century. There was an Iguanodon which was huge. It was a bit scary sitting next to it, and it made loud generic dinosaur noises once it turned into a live animal before it left.

Next an old oriental man with white hair and a white beard and shabby traditional clothes appeared. He told me he had a T-Rex and I should come check it out. We walked out of the park and into a harbor. Next to the water, cars were parked along the dock. Also shabby. And between the cars indeed was - a T-Rex. Or uh, sort of.
It was flesh and blood but did not move. It fact it was more like another car that had been parked there. And man it was bad. Think of a cheap Chinese plastic toy dinosaur the size of a small truck. It had 4 elephant-like legs, A huge open mouth with white teeth (clearly plastic) and a stupid looking short tail. Colored in an orange-pink camo pattern. Heinous. It was so bad I had to laugh and woke up.

Cat has no idea what is going on but finds herself in a quarrel between the scary blue ghost and the weird green eye monster and its skulls.  As strangely time seems to have passed and she feels refreshed, Cat enters rage again. Following Yulyas order, she moves clockwise around M3gan and 5 ft South of Nezzner and attempts to cut off Nezzner's rings  with a heavy strike of her Greatsword, flanking with M3gan.
Nya, I should have snapped his neck to begin with!

Sounds Chinese.
When I was young, I briefly considered changing my real name when some Yugo neighbors had a baby with a very similar name. But luckily they moved away so I did not have to resort to killing the entire family. Or worse, changing my name.
