Scene Four: The Monastery of the Sundered Chain

I think you and me drop in at 28-w, about 4:30 from her facing; Olly and Tleyar drop in at 28-t, about 7:30 from her facing; and then next round Fargrim and Mal drop in at 26-t, about 10:00 her facing. Doesn't look like there's a lot of space on that top platform in front of the doors. Am I correct in assuming that the two doors are actually vertical against the top platform of the staircase, and all that space on the map next to the platform is actually solid rock?

Fargrim blocks her from getting down the stairs, Olly hits her with ranged spellwork, and you, me, Mal, and Tley jump her at the same time and stab like the wind. Any other suggestions or objections?

Yes the door is straight up with rough stone around it. This tomb and the statue of moradin are the oldest things in the mine. Noone built right next to the tomb, though their are buildings above it on the highe r levels.

Please roll stealth with advantage to see how quiet you are and initiative so I know your order of movements. Will the first four just stand still until the second round?

Malik- init 10 and stealth 8 (no adv with heavy armour).

Oloric init 22 and stealth 22/22. Apparently he likes 22?

Flynn's song covers you invisibility and his you walk through the gate to the stone steps. The step are ancient and looking you see the edges and corners have years of dust and debris. The steps have a path worn through the dust, many people have passed recently.

Delrin and Izzy pass through first stepping behind the witch in a small swirl of mist. She stands at the edge of the stone walkway looking at the flowing lava and the hundreds of working orcs, ogres, and trolls.

They notice a small swirl to the left of them but can not see Tleyar and Izzy step through.

All four see woman's tense back as she mutters to herself. "Damn, These orcs, damn these dwarfs, damn this whole plane. No money is worth handling this beast. His stink will never wash away."

In seconds another portal opens and Fargrim stumbles forward stepping in the mire still on the edges of the steps. The edge crumbles a pile of rock breaking and falling down the stairs. You feel your bodies tense with each crash of stone echoing in the cavern.

OOC: Oloric can act, Fargrim and Malik can not move but do have an action. She can not see Fargrim, but did hear him and sees the falling rock. She has not seen any of you (that you know of). Malik will pass through at his initiative. The orcs may or may not notice you. There is a lot of stones being ripped and tossed around right now.


Initiative (stealth): Oloric 22 (22), Fargrim 19 (3), Witch 18, Tleyar 16 (19), Delrin 13 (21), Malik 10 (8), Orcs 9, Izzy 8 (22)

OOC: I'm a little sketchy on how holding/reading/delaying an action works, but would the people who came in last round be considered waiting with actions that trigger when Fargrim arrives and casts Hold Person? It could make a big difference whether we're able to act before or after the Shadar Kai gets a turn.

Ooc: no delays exist in 5e. You can ready a single action and have no movement. Then Fargrims spell would start, readied actions would go off, then init as normal. If this is surprise round then the witch wouldn't get to act on her init during it.

Oloric would ready a firebolt and fire it. Attack rolls with advantage are 1 and 2 so BLARG he misses damnit.

Witch misses her turn so basically we all get an turn (since oloric was only one before Fargrim) before her next turn. Advantage on attacks and all hits are crits with hold person. She auto fails dex saves.
