    Polina strides ahead and transfers her Hunter's Mark onto the remaining hobgoblin with a quick wave of her arm before resuming the axe-strikes towards them. Rax tags along but can't quite find a way to duck and weave under the monk's guard.

    Let's try to finish this last one off:
    (1d20+7)[21] for (1d8+4)[9] and (1d6)[6] slashing and Rax's aura for (1d6)[6] lightning.
    aand again: (1d20+7)[19] for (1d8+4)[12] and (1d6)[4] slashing.

    Alone and injured, the monk does his best to stay fighting. His best is insufficient. Polina lops off an army and a combined spell assault puts him out of his brief misery, leaving you with silence as the combat comes to a close.

    Combat concluded.

    Despite Paul dropping, this was a Medium encounter, and is thus worth 8 experience points.

    Will give a moment for healing and whatnot as necessary before we move on.

    Once you've patched up the injuries you press on, noting that the monks seemed to live at truly ascetic lifestyle, with no spoils of war to be claimed from their deaths or the waiting room. You pass beyond the murals, beyond the double doors. Inside is a smaller room, barely a hallway, leading to a single-file spiral staircase that descends only down into the belly of the beast.

    With only one path, you press on into darkness, down, and down, and down. Locked with cold stone on all sides, the distance is drawn only in the number of breaths and the quiet steps on stone.

    Before you reach the bottom, however, you reach steps completely encompassed in a vast fog cloud that blocks all attempts at sight, even if allowing free passage. Neither light nor darkvision penetrate it, meaning that what little sight you did have is now robbed all the moreso.

    Polina heads down into the fog, keeping close to Ayalla and the others. She motions to Rax to take up the rear guard. Luckily he's a dragon who's also part sheep-dog.

    Polina will also take the tasty snacks from Ayalla with a grateful nod.

    It's a few more turns on the staircase in the blinding fog before the steps suddenly stop, forcing a half-trip from the expected descent that is suddenly no longer there. The room is quiet, chill, and also completely filled with fog. Fumbling blind, and banging your shins on a stone bench at one point, you eventually manage to 'map out' the room you're in - about 25ft wide, 30ft long, and with two doors you can find, on two of the four walls. One leads, by your judgement, back in the direction of the 'chest' where the nest was, while the other would lead towards the lion's flank, rather than towards its belly.

    Polina takes the lead once more, opening the door, and you immediately hear movement in response - prepared movement, and decidedly with hostile intentions, though the fog makes it impossible to make out who's who or what's going on.

    Show



    Ayalla's spirit guardians is still up but won't do any damage to anyone in range until the start of the enemy's turns.

    The white border, not that you can really know this, is the edge of the fog cloud, so anything left of the white edge is opaque - can't see anything for spellcasting purposes, adv/disadv negated, no OAs. That's why all the creatures are ?s as well.

    The only way into the room is the door that Polina is adjacent too, so narrow chokepoint.

    Ayalla, Leif, and Trellara are up.

    Grasping weeds and vines sprout from the ground in a 20-foot square starting from a point within range. For the duration, these plants turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain.

    A creature in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 16) or be restrained by the entangling plants until the spell ends. A creature restrained by the plants can use its action to make a Strength check (DC 16). On a success, it frees itself.

    Being smothered in fog doesn't hold back your spells, but it does seem to stop the enemies from promptly responding to your assault. You hear four become locked up the vines, and the groan of agony from Ayalla's spiritual assault. Blinded though both sides are, Polina narrowly sees a golden bolt of energy soar through the air, and fly past her face, striking stone behind her.

    There's four failed saves on Entangle, and two (that got prompted) on Spirit Guardians, dealing 18 radiant to two of the hidden.

    Move to behind Polina, attack, then move back to his start point. I think I can target the one just around the corner from Polina as it'd have only partial cover, and Paul's wand lets him negate that.

    Firebolt misses, Cannon (barely) hits thanks to ignoring cover.

    Polina and Rax have been slow off the blocks today and as she sees the Guiding Bolt miss, which is always a little ironic, she smiles and says eagerly, "Oh, it's ON."

    That said, she still can't actually see what's going on. She ducks down and sticks four arrows into a crack in the floor, intoning her elvish spell "Pilinoth."

    She motions Rax to stay beside her and moves to the side of the doorway, in preparation for anything coming through it.

    Rax Dodges. Polina casts Cordon of Arrows, which has 4 charges.

    When Polina sets down her cordon, moments later one arrow flips up and launches through the fog, though you hear it impact stone instead of armour or flesh. An incantation, elegant despite the gruff tone, murmurs through the clouds, and Ayalla feels her guardian spell come to an end.

    Polina casts Cordon of Arrows.
    One activates on U's turn, but the dex save is made (17+5=22 vs 13).
    3/4 remain.

    U casts Dispel Magic, targeting Ayalla's spirit guardians within the fog, ending the spell.

    "So they have a spellcaster of their own, huh?" Leif muses, "Well they don't seem to want to come to us so we will just have to give them no choice."

    Focusing on where she heard the voice come from, Leif ignites a ball of flame right next to it. Hopefully the light given by the fire gives Polina a better idea of where their enemies are, too.

    Cast Flaming Sphere next to where the voice originated from, or as best as Leif could approximate given the fog. It deals (2d6)[7] fire damage to any enemy that ends their turn within 5ft of it, dex save DC 16 for half.

    Leif will then use her bonus action to push the Flaming Sphere towards where she believes the spellcaster is, dealing (2d6)[4] fire damage (dex save DC 16 for half) to the first enemy it hits and stopping.

    Wuffles dives into the fog and manages to take a chunk out of one of the fog-smothered hobs before vanishing. Leif's flaming sphere ignites beyond the confines of the smothering smoke, but the grunt of pain at a distance signals that it didn't do as much as you'd hoped. Two more arrows flip up from Polina's Cordon, one of which sounds like it hit, while the other strikes stone. They retaliate with another pair of golden bolts, but continue to be unable to hit.

    Wuffles hits, and then vanishes.
    Flaming sphere save is made (2 damage). Concentration made (9+3=12 vs 10)
    Trellara readies an attack.

    The booming shatter is accompanied by the sounds of two bodies hitting the floor.

    Freed from their entangle, three figures move in and out against Polina in quick succession as she evades a continuous flurry of blows. One strikes her in the face, past her shield and armour, and when Trellara's arrow flies past, the enemy snatches it from the air and launches it right back at her, piercing her side.

    Spoiler: Map
    Show



    Two down from Shatter, and two saves.

    The three M(onks) attack Polina, but despite 12 attacks, only one hit, for 4 lightning (minimum damage!)
    Trellara's arrow hit, but damage got reduced to 0 by Deflect Arrows. The monk throws it back at her, and it hits for 6 piercing.

    Polina is up.
