    Eighth Day, Escape

    Sarith is quietly impressed by the ability of Derendil and Buppido to not immediately get mobbed and killed by the quaggoths below, if only because it leaves him free to continue his assault from above unhindered. He pads forward, darts to the side of the hatch and fires down, before disappearing again in the hopes of staying hidden. He'd lost track of Faedryl, but it was safe to assume that she was probably being smug about something. Maybe it was good that he didn't have to see it.

    Derendil raises his shield just in time to deflect a claw thrown at his face. His first instinct is to snarl, throw aside his shield, and try to savage the opposing quaggoth, but his mind holds firm. He does lash out with a claw, but he keeps his shield up as he was trained by his tutors so long ago.

    The Guard Post

    A cloud of spires sails around the heads of the gnomes, moving in a spiral pattern to swarm around the drow like biting flies. He whips his long, luxurious white hair around, the resultant wind blowing them away as if in a painted advertisement for hair care products. Grabbing onto the fungal growths encasing them, the drow start to peel and tear themselves free. One of them is having a hard time getting a good grip, however, and struggles in vain.


    Inside the guard post, a bolt from above catches Buppido's foe off guard, thudding into his neck. It's unclear if it hit any arteries, the bolt stopping any catastrophic bleeding on its own. That is until Derendil's claw swipe catches on the bolt and yanks it out, sending a fountain of blood spraying through the room. The creature drops like a sack of bricks.

    Cells

    ...

    The Shrine

    Slipping out of the shrine, Nilvae-as-Kronryn closes the door behind her in the junior priestess' face, moving too quickly for she or the spider to attack again. Outside he finds Borthan locked in an intense duel with the elite drow warrior.

    The rather unamused priestess swings the door open, kicking it with her foot and glaring at the false drow. She raises her holy symbol, "I beseech you, baleful light of the Abyss, mark this interloper for death!" Eerie purple light glows from the symbol and a bolt of energy rams into Nilvae's chest, leaving her feeling ill. Trails of light continue to wrap around her, and she sees highlighted marks upon her most vulnerable spots, glowing even through her illusion.

    Leaning around the corner, Eldeth squeezes off a shot. When it goes wide she swiftly loads another bolt in its place and clips the quaggoth Topsy is holding on the bridge. Desperate to clear the way, Turvy repeats his previous chant, sending a trio of glowing spheres slamming into the quaggoth. The creature nearly falls to one knee, but in its last moments a feral vengeance lights up in its eyes.

The bite tears away some flesh, leaving her leg bloodied and searing with pain, but allowing very little of the poison inside. At the sight of most definitely not drow flesh in her spider's jaws. Asha smirks. "Not a rival agent then. I'm afraid that makes your life worth... significantly less, 'Kronryn'."

    Eighth Day, Escape

    With Duskryn 'tied up' by the orc - who was rapidly gaining favour with Faedryl for his adequate grappling skills - she turns to the encroaching foes, still in the tower, and with more yet on the way. Her fingers trace three elvish runes in the air in front of her, her finger trailing with gleaming orange light to momentarily construct each run in sequence before its completion. Fuel. Ignite. Persist. She joins the disparate words together with a binding circle, one made up of her own name, and with an ashen-voiced command word flames spring up beneath the feet of one of the quaggoth inside the tower. She couldn't risk setting the bridges alight, or their only route would be down, and that was no route she wished to take. With the flames now burning she gathers her strength and lashes out, aiming to shove another one of the hulking underdark 'workers' into the flames alongside its comrade.

    The Guard Post

    Summoned flames dance up from among the stones beneath the quaggoth facing Derendil, causing the creature to start hopping and dancing from foot to foot, avoiding the flares of fire. The other one still standing finds itself shoved into his dancing ally, who shoves him away into the wall out of annoyance. The annoyance turns to a brief flash of panic as the hyphae summoned by Stool start to catch fire around them, burning their fur.

    While his back is turned, Buppido lunges forward onto the back of the quaggoth struggling in the flames. He digs his shiv into its chest from behind and rakes a long, bloody wound upwards while kicking off back onto the table.


    On the bridge, Topsy lands a finishing blow in the quaggoth's chest, the last of its defiant strength fading as it slumps to the ground. She sets a boot against its neck and presses down, while reducing her profile to allow others to pass her. "Alright! Let's push!"

    Cells

    "You stupid oaf! Get off of me!" Duskryn shouts impotently as he struggles in vain against the orc's iron grip. Ront's mouth curls into a smug grin.

    With no response from Faedryl about his wager, Jimjar shrugs it off and leans in to crack off another bolt at Duskryn. This time Ront turns the elf towards Jimjar, giving the gnome a clear shot to plant a poisoned bolt in his side. In spite of the poison, Duskryn continues struggling, apparently having a resistance. All the same, Jimjar quietly fistpumps at making the shot - perhaps he'd made a bet with himself instead.

    The Shrine

    The sounds from behind distract Borthan's opponent momentarily as he tilts his head to catch the priestess fighting 'Kronryn' in his peripheral vision. The opening allows Borthan to catch his balance. When the drow comes for him again, the ranger is ready, fending off both blades fluidly one after the other.

    Spinning around in a panic, the donkey in the commons kicks back at the spider, but his hooves sail too high to make contact with the arachnid.

    The bonfire ignites the Entangle terrain, dealing 5 fire damage to each quaggoth and 1 failed death save to the downed one as it burns off. (Brown rectangle is burned area, which will expand but not double back on itself)

    After deflecting both of the drow officer's blows, Borthan continued to test his defenses. If Borthan knew the definition of the word "ironic" he would consider it so that he had been locked in a hole in the rock for more than a week now and it was HIS endurance that was lasting longer in this fight. Then again, his wounds were mostly flesh wounds, while the first two blows he had landed on the officer would have been enough to end most. He darted forward with his right hand, attempting to skewer a lightly armored limb and possibly disarm his opponent. Reversing his grip on his blade in one swift motion, the second blow came from the left and was all muscle, trying to bury deep in the male's side in a killing blow.

    If I manage to kill the officer with one attack, I will shift my Hunter's Prey, move, and my second attack will be against the giant spider menacing Nilvae. If he survives both blows, I unforunately will not be able to come to Nilvae's aid this turn. If the officer dies, either way I will be moving up to support Nilvae. Attack 1-(1d20+5)[16] to hit and (1d6+5)[10] damage, plus (1d6)[5] from Hunter's Mark. Second attack- (1d20+5)[18] to hit and (1d6+5)[10] damage (-2 if it against a spider), plus (1d6)[2] for Hunter's Mark. Just in case I crit here's the extra damage- (2d6)[8] . If the officer survives both attacks, Borthan will circle around him to try to make sure a giant spider or drow warrior doesn't stab Bort in the butt.

    Expertly would be a strong word. But with the honed reflexes of a predator, the quaggoth stuck inside Faedryl's spell springs to and fro out of the way of the gushing flames, delivering a vengeful slash to Buppido that knocks the corrupted dwarf off balance. A second claw lashes out at Derendil, but deflects off of his shield.

    The other quaggoth pats out smouldering spots on his hide, and lunges at Derendil. With his other arm, the prince conjures a second shield, this one of force, to deflect a claw. The second claw however reaches past his guard, plunging towards his chest as if to dig into his very heart - only to stop inches away from his flesh. A rippling field of energy flares and deflects the claw, flickering and shimmering as much of its power is expended in the effort.

    The Shrine

    Finding an opening after he parries one of the drow's blades, Borthan rams his sword through his opponent's arm. The drow does not cry out, or scream, or snarl. His body finally cannot withstand any more, and collapses in shock, sliding off of Borthan's blade.

    Where exactly the fire had come from Sarith doesn't know. Faedryl, perhaps, or one of the other prisoners. Regardless of who or what has caused it, it seems to be posing no threat to Sarith currently or iminently, so he'll simply take advantage of it while it's there and worry about it later. He darts out looses yet another bolt from his crossbow, before disappearing again. Whatever else happened, everyone else would be extremely softened up by the time this was all over - except for him, of course.

    Between Derendil's arcane armor plates, his magic shield, and his magic ward, he manages to not take a wound from the dogpile of quaggoths surrounding him and Bupido. That doesn't mean the prince is free from stress, however. And as the attacks mount and his defenses crumble and fail, the beast rises in him again, straining against it's chains and begging for release. Knowing he has very little in the way of defensive abilities remaining, Derendil gives into it.

In the confusion of the melee, another bolt flies out of seemingly nowhere to embed itself into the central quaggoth, whose eyes are filled with inhuman hatred.

    Topsy cries out as a bolt slashes across her leg, another flying by to strike the stone behind her. The bolt has left a smear of poison across the long shallow wound, but the gnome does not stagger or falter in spite of her size. "You'll be sorry for that when I get to you," she threatens the drow on the other bridge in elvish, to which he merely scoffs.

    Leaning out of cover, Eldeth swiftly fires, loads, and fires again. But her shots are too panicked and hasty, clattering against the opposite wall of the guard post. One of them nearly strikes Buppido, though the dwarf seems unfazed.

    "Laven Byon Seek!" voice peaking when his sister is shot, Turvy sends a trio of three magic missiles arcing and spiraling out. One clobbers the quaggoth in front of Derendil, knocking it to the ground. The other two slam into the offending Drow, nearly knocking him off of the bridge.

    Cells

    Evidently tired of all of this, Dworic's face contorts in rage as he swings the chair around and slams it into Duskryn's stomach, exposed by Ront. Crackling white lightning pulses from the impact point, scorching the drow's clothes and skin. Duskryn's strength begins to fade, between the damage inflicted and the choking grasp of Ront.

    Closing his eyes, Shuushar breathes deeply. "Blee still, trububbled soul." Glowing needles of light appear around Duskryn, and his eyes go wide as they move towards him. But rather than impale him, they carefully and precisely prick pressure points on his body. The already weak drow's eyes flutter and droop, and he falls unconscious. Please, allow him to live, and perhaps to learn from this. the fishman telepathically beseeches Ront, 'audible' to anyone else affected by Stool's rapport spores.

    The orc sniffs and curls his lip. Only because we have enemies still attacking us fish eyes. He drops Duskryn upon the stone floor unceremoniously.

    Shuushar nods, accepting the answer, and walks out. Jimjar offers him a pat on the shoulder as he goes by. "Nice work. Good to see you can actually fight."

    "Obly when ib woulb spare libes," the kuo-toa answers, walking up behind the crowd at the bridge with calm strides.

    The Shrine

    Grabbing pebbles from along the wall, Nilvae hurls one at the priestess. It strikes her in the cheek, causing her to recoil and catch the base of the statue with her hand for support. Strands of hair hang across her bruised cheek as she glares back. But Borthan is now standing in the doorway, his blades within a dangerous distance of her. Gripping her mace in both hands, she channels the same baleful purple light into the weapon and swings it at Borthan, leaving a trail arcing behind it like a shooting star.

    Borthan ducks out of the way as the glowing weapon impacts the stone beside him, blowing off one of the door hinges in a flash of light.

    As their fight continues, the trapdoor across the shrine opens. A male drow, clearly in his prime, climbs out. His face and hair are well washed and styled, and he's wearing nothing but a pair of hastily donned trousers, a shortsword in his hand. "Priestess, Asha is under attack!" he calls down into the depths of the reverse-tower, behind him.

    "You've permission to kill whomever violates Lolth's shrine with their unbidden presence," replies an annoyed voice from below. The drow man begins crossing the room, murderous intent and confidence clear in spite of his lack of equipment.

    "It isn't Kronryn, they're using illusions," the younger priestess warns him as he looks between the two apparent drow.

    "Doesn't matter. I assumed some kind of coup. If not, that just means less paperwork," his mouth twitches into a grin. Borthan's combat high from taking down the elite is starting to fade, as the spider who'd been attacking Nilvae sinks its fangs into him instead. Behind him he can hear another one crawling through inside, its chitinous limbs clicking.

    Eighth Day, Escape

    They were finally making headway on the quaggoths, though they had many more enemies left to fight yet, they would hopefully soon be rid of the meatiest opponents, but the fire spreading was unexpected, and unwanted. Evidently magic plants burned just as well as non-magical plants. Or perhaps her flames were just that potent. That could always be the case. Still, it was best not to let them linger too long. Her throat clangs again with the sound of a bell, against the one remaining standing quaggoth in the tower, before she shoves him with her mind once more, hoping to ignite him before she brings her flame spell to an end with a single thought.

    The Guard Post

    Clutching his ears, the final quaggoth in the guard post cringes and his breath catches in his throat, then Faedryl shoves him into the fire. Sensing weakness, Buppido flies off of his table, face lit eerily from below by the fading flames as he descends atop the creature. He drives his shiv into his chest until it passes out, then gets up and kicks another's nose into its skill. Satisfied with his grim work, he takes cover behind the wall, waiting behind the flow of flames running out onto the bridge.

    Walking onto the first bridge and squatting next to the fallen quaggoth there, Jimjar gently covers its mouth and nose with a hand as he uses the other to take aim at the drow Turvy had blasted, dropping the warrior with a well placed bolt. The quaggoth's strained breathing ceases, and it goes limp peacefully, as if sleeping.

    Passing him, Topsy picks up a dagger she'd thrown earlier and hurls a pair of them at the nearest drow, but her hasty throws go wide and they fly off into the darkness below, either in the water or the webbing somewhere. She bares her teeth and snarls at her own failure.

    Borthan hissed out loud as the spider's fangs sank into his body, stumbling to the side as the poison began flowing through his veins. Godsdamn, I'm going to die with these stupid shortswords in my hand instead of my axes... Not one to go down without a fight, but knowing that without reaching Shushaar and the others he would most certainly be executed by the drow, he prepared to make a run for it. He attempted to slam the door to the shrine shut, but the giant spider's bulk would not be shifted. Raising his blades like shields, he began to back away slowly, warding off any blows, then made his way backward towards the bridge. For the first time since the fight began he took a look back to see how the others were doing, and he nearly spit in disgust to see most of them, including some of their strongest fighters, still back by the cells. And the bridge was on fire. Godsdamn, was that a disappointment. He'd love to hear why they had failed so spectacularly to reinforce their allies, but he doubted he would live long enough to find out.

    Backing off from the door way, Borthan tries to slam the door into the spider and push it back inside. But its legs shove back with a hiss, forcing him to fend it off with his blades while trying to get away. Backing off finds him confronted with another fresh spider, crawled up into the tunnels from the webbing below, but he is able to circle partway around it until the fungal hyphae covering the bridge block his progress.

In fact he doesn't feel anything about it. Neither joy nor sadness, not anger or joy. It just simply was.

    The Guard Post

    Climbing down onto the top rung of the lantern, Sarith pops a bolt through the wall of flame. It sinks into drow flesh, and Sarith vanishes back into the armory as the flames flicker and vanish into a cloud of falling sparks, their fuel vanishing when Stool dispels the fungal entanglement.

    Following the bolt, Derendil leaps onto the bridge. But his target ducks back out of the way of his razor claws, curling his lips in fear and disgust. He draws a shortsword in his free hand and jabs at Derendil, but fails to connect. Further down the bridge, the second drow fires a bolt at the intimidating quaggoth prince. But the bolt deflects off of the glowing arcane plating of his mage armor.

    A second bolt plunks into the drow's body alongside Sarith's, and unable to withstand any more he collapses on the bridge. Eldeth reloads and fires again at the other drow, but her bolt goes wide. With Duskryn taken down, Dworic begins a purposeful march in search of his next foe.

    Holding a pair of fingers to the side of his head, Turvy stares at the last drow on the bridge. The elf suddenly starts bleeding from the eyes and shouts in pain, doubling over. "Hey! Hey, make a run for it!" he shouts at Borthan across the bridge, an opening made for the ranger to bypass the drow safely - and for allies to bypass the drow to reach him.


    Behind Faedryl, the large orc leans forward, resting his hands on his knees and taking heavy breaths. He is still visibly exhausted, and tired out by the struggle wrestling Duskryn to the ground. The floating spirit-needles glide past out of the tunnels to hover in the air, while Shuushar weaves a minor blessing upon Faedryl.

    The Shrine

    The spider before Nilvae inhales the cloud of fairy dust she breathes out into the air, stumbling and then sinking peacefully to the ground to snooze. Behind it, the drow priestess scowls. "I think you've mistaken me for someone else..." she states condescendingly, but a glance is spared towards the shirtless drow man next to her. "I will investigate this demon claim. Lolth's wards should hide us, but we should be certain."

    Raising her arm, the priestess walks over the spider. A ray of light flashes down from above Nilvae, but she manages to duck out of the way of it. Seeming to consider her a non-threat, the drow priestess steps away from her to walk down the hallway. A final show of insult, leaving herself open.

    The shirtless drow approaches Nilvae, attempting to execute her with a stab as though she were already on her knees. But the girl is running hard on adrenaline, and swerves around his strike. Face contorting in indignation, he takes a swing with his fist, punching the wall behind her when she moves her head out of the way. "Damned girl!" he curses.

    Standing at the end of the bridge, Borthan fixes the flat of his blade against a lunging spider's face, holding it back as fangs swing and slash at his chest.

    Borthan resumes his defensive stance as he backs away from the spider, slowly lowering it to the ground before dashing backward with blades raised. Then began an awkward, inelegant dance across the bridge, stepping past dazed drow, over dead drow, and scooting dangerously close to the edge of the bridge. When he reaches the quaggoth who appeared to be an ally (and also spoke some weird flavor of elvish), he slapped him on the shoulder as a means of encouragement. I killed the one that knew how to fight. I'm tapping out and moving to the back line to throw stuff. Go git em, tall, grey, and fuzzy. Then he turned and shouted for Nilvae. Come on, crazy woman!

    The turn in battle was excellent, for her, and she can't help but smugly smile as the prisoners file up the bridge in front of her, using the momentum to push past the quaggoths. They'd be beyond the armoury shortly, and then the real fight would begin. The only downside was that she couldn't ride the momentum with them, the bridge was too narrow, and she didn't wish to risk taking the plunge below. Instead, she continues to provide ranged support from the back lines, as a leader should. Aiming to wrap one of the drow blocking the way in dark magic, her throat clangs. They, at least, seemed less sturdy than the quaggoths.

    Move: Not clear if she can move into the tower to get under the ladder, or if there's too many people which'll slow her down - I'm guessing the latter. If she can move up, she will do, if not, no biggie.
    Action: Cast Toll the Dead on closest drow warrior that's still standing. I think he's uninjured? Must make a Wis save (1d20)[15]+modifier vs DC14 or take (1d8)[7] necrotic damage.
    Bonus Action: If she can move forwards, she's in range for a telekinetic shove on the drow warrior. If not, disregard. Must make a strength save vs (1d20)[10]+modifier . DC14 or be shoved back five feet, into his buddy.

    The Guard Post

    It's hard to tell through the flashes of pain and distraction from Turvy's mental assault if Faedryl's spell has any effect. As he staggers, Buppido passes Borthan going opposite ways across the bridge, approaching the drow to shank him in the chest, sending him down onto the wood.

    Inside the guard post, Jimjar squats down at the bottom of the ladder and gently holds his hands over the mouth and nose of one of the dying quaggoth to ease it into the after. Catching on, Topsy attempts to slit the throat of the other one, but it isn't enough to kill just yet. The quaggoth spasms and spurts blood, Topsy frowning in dissatisfaction at her cut.

    Though he has no love for the prisoners, Sarith equally does not wish to miss out on the fight. So when he pops down to loose another bolt and finds no easy targets, he does the only 'logical' thing and abandons his hiding place. They were no longer in range of his bolts, so he would have to close the distance. On able feet he slips between the other prisoners, weaving through them like air through trees, before loosing a bolt at the nearest spider. Best to put it out of its misery before it suffered worse.

    Hey cutie. Nilvae suddenly flirts with the naked drow male. Can't you just reconsider? Suddenly flower petals are falling, framing Kronryn's shape. After we kill her, we can make off and start a new life.

    The Guard Post

    Sarith's bolt goes wide, striking the stone wall of the cavern next to the spider. The creature turns around and raises itself up, hissing threateningly and indignantly. Before it can advance upon the traitor drow, Derendil storms across the bridge, swatting at it with a claw. The spider weaves back and around the swipe. More bolts and a freezing ray clatter against the stone from the rearguard as the dwarves and others advance, but the spider is having no better luck striking true with its fangs.

    Buppido walks up alongside Derendil at the end of the bridge and sinks his blade into the distracted spider. Behind him, Jimjar slips onto the bridge and stays low to keep out of the way of those firing across the gap, unwilling to risk hitting Buppido or Sarith himself. He instead continues to work as a gentle angle of death, seeing the fallen to their hereafter.

    Back in the guard post, Stool soundly crushes the skull of the quaggoth Topsy had been trying to put down, spattering more gore around. She wipes her face with her sleeve and stands back up. "Good work." Stepping through, Dworic continues to ensure no enemies get back up behind them, slamming his chair into the face of the elf next to Borthan.

    The Shrine

    The swirling aura of flower petals frames Kronryn(Nilvae)'s form, and Shoor recoils slightly from the display. "No, thank you," he states coldly, thrusting his weapon forward. This time it pierces Nilvae's side, and she feels herself growing cold as the world darkens around her. She slumps to the ground and feels the drow's boot press against the back of her head, pressing down as her consciousness fades. The last thing she sees is another shape rising up out of the trapdoor inside.

    With the warlock lying in a growing pool of blood, the shirtless elf turns his attention towards Derendil and flicks blood off of his sword as he starts to approach. Yet it's Sarith's face he locks in on, over the back of the spider. "Sarith. Why am I not surprised you've thrown in with these inferior beings, instead of facing this with some dignity?" The high priestess' current boy toy taunts him.

    The Commons

    The priestess walks away from the shrine, reaching the commons area. Regarding the two slumped over guards near the lift, she walks over and boots one of them with her foot. "Get up, fool. We've got intruders to deal with. Go!" her voice can be heard near the bridge, carrying through the cavern. The now quite full giant spider crawls up to her.

    Eighth Day, Escape

    With the bridge clear, Faedryl moves into the tower to follow behind the group, just in time to see Nilvae fall. Was it their first loss? Could she be saved? Should Faedryl even try? The questions come rapid fire in her mind but the conclusion is...yes. She should do what she can. That was all she could do. She leans back into a familiar casting stance, drawing the elvish runes for Magic. Pierce. Entropy. in the air in front of her with a glowing fingertip. She beckons the arcane powers forward, crystalising them into three bolts that stream over the heads of her people - for they were, for now at least - to strike the thick bodied drow that was approaching. They slam into him with unerring accuracy. She went to call Shuushar's name and finds that she cannot recall it. She hadn't committed it to memory, if it had even been spoken in her presence. It had been a stressful few days. She opts to exclude any names entirely. "One of them went down at the front! You need to save her!" she says to him with as much urgency as she can muster. Save. Not a word she expected to be using today.
