Aender's saw Ismark go down wolves on each side of him and decides that would be his best mark both wolves occupied with the fallen Ismark. Moving forward behind the wolf that was actively biting the man. Once in range he stabs forward with one and then the other short sword in his hands. Hoping that his weapon finds its mark and kills the beast before it can eat their employer. He smiles as his first blade sinks deep into the beats side giving it a wicked looking wound only for his second blade to mostly glance off the beasts thick hide.

"Hold on there Ismark we aren't letting these wolves have you for dinner."

Raining Cats and Dogs

Lots of stuff happening! The young woman with the longbow dropped the dire wolf next to Polly with a single shot. The oversized lynx bounded over to the last remaining wolf and leapt on its back, causing minimal damage and failing to gain purchase, it tumbled over the larger beast and fell heavily to the ground - just managing to regain its feet in time to dodge the wolf's retaliatory bite. Aender came sneaking up behind the diminutive vamp, silently difficult terrain for 1 squarepulling himself up onto the gallows platform in order to affect a for 17 damagedevastating stab into her kidney with his newly found dagger before preparing to dodge any answering blow from the creature. Thunk - thunk - thunk. Three arrows suddenly sprouted from her side as she went for Barry, throwing her off balance enough to miss Barry got hit for 11one of her two swipes at the Elven cleric. She'd finally identified him as the source of radiant attacks and now seemed to ignore Jhorn in lieu of the more serious threat.

There's just wolf4 at 50% and Lewellen who wasn't denied her regeneration this round. Aender and Jhorn are positioned to give each other flanking.

Polly Titchwillow
right-aligned image

And suddenly, the wolf lay still. Polly looked at the corpse in surprise, then finally noticed the arrow protruding from its neck. Polly looked about, for the first time realizing the newcomers, and stared at the girl. Then she crouched down, fingers digging into the dead wolf's flesh, an anguished frown marring her face. 'Mine!' she growled, practically hissing at the girl who had stolen her kill. Then she turned about, looking for more prey to bring down.

Ismark was fighting a desperate battle against the last remaining wolf, Mr. Otus dodging in and out to try and distract the beast. The cat, too, had thrown itself at the wolf, to little effect. Cursing, spitting, Polly pointed her bleeding palm towards the wolf, placing her Hex on the beast. Then she ran, screaming, bringing her staff down on the creature's head. 22 to hit
5 bludgeoning damage, 1 necrotic damage
It was but a glancing blow, hitting the wolf on a thick part of its skull before being turned away by a violent shake of its neck, but at least it had gotten the wolf's attention.

Halas Fogbarrel
right-aligned image
Watching his sister attack Berry caused a change in Halas. While she had been swiping at Jhorn it had been different, people were always taking swipes Jhorn...but Berry? The halfling found himself with his sword in his hand, stabbing forward at Lewellen, a shocked look upon his face as he could barely comprehend what he was doing.

Barry
left-aligned image

It's had been a while since he had seen his own blood, but what's worse was the spawn seemed to have dodged his spell and was regenerating. He made a mental note to pack something with a bit more radiant umph in tomorrow's spell list.
"That's hurt! But this is going to burn worse!" The sacred flames of Kellemvor sprouted on the spawn's boots and licked at her legs.

Aender's knew that moving to Ismark was not going to work and the vampire spawn was still proving more resilient than her similarly small frame would suggest. That in mind he does his best to try and finish off the pesky undead halfling that looks to be Halas relative.

That decided he does a bit of stance shift bringing both blades forward one after the other trying to pierce the undead heart of the creature currently taking pieces out of Jhorn. Sure he could be irritating at times and secretive but this was a bit extreme. This time his aim seems truer than in the past and one blade after another pierces the foul beasts back biting through flesh and bone, before Aender spins away both blades tearing free of the spawns flesh, as he does ending in a stance ready to strike yet again.

"We've got this keep fighting send these blood sucking arse sniffing fiends to the grave once and for all!"

The vampiric devil was well attended by her companions, and so Mara turned her focus to the last of the dire wolves, eager to put an end to that threat. Long, purposeful strides carried her to the beast’s side Second Wind +11 hpas she readied her weapon for a great swing. She had little love for killing animals and mindless beasts, but driven by some foul will these creatures were of a malevolent kind she had no doubt that they needed to go. The halberd came down hard and fast to Halberd attack on Wolf 4, 22 to hit, 7 damagecut into the monstrous beast that had plagued Ismark during the fighting.

Jhorn Sarkany

Jhorn does not let up his assault on the undead halfling, determined to keep her off balance and distracted from being able to hurt any of his friends. He aims a backhand swing at her neck but when she turns to strike Barry instead it causes her to duck well enough under his blade that he misses completely.

Seeing how the others seem to have the last wolf under control, Fane steps around Halas to get a good shot at the vamp.

Along with the incredible amounts of carnage Mara caused with her glaive, the appearance of the two archers seemed to have turned the course of the battle nicely. The last wolf felled, and now the diminutive vampire receiving devastating amounts of damage as more people turned their attentions to her. Denied her regeneration once again by Barry, she made a lunging grab for him. Coming up with nothing but air as the nimble elf sidestepped the attempt, she shrieked in frustration and 9 damagescored a row of deep furrows down the Cleric of Kelemvor's leg with a slashing attack from her other hand.

I rolled Jhorn's advantage roll due to flanking and he hit for 5 (half of 11). Lewellen is down to 9hp. Whoever finishes it, I'd like a descriptive spectacle.

Barry
left-aligned image

Barry and his opponent were both looking ragged. It was clear only one was going to survive this fight, and with numbers on his side Barry knew it would be him.
Although,this would probably not be the last they saw of the spawn. If the priest's son was anything to go by, it would turn to mist as it perishes and escape to its coffin to revive. How could they stop such a thing from happening?
Out of ideas, out of spells, Barry fell on his cantrip to finish the job...for the timing being anyway.

Polly Titchwillow
right-aligned image

Losing herself in striking the wolf, again and again, Polly almost missed the displacement of air as something heavy swung towards the hated creature. Mara's axe, swinging downward into the wolf's neck, had ended the creature's suffering. The jolt of surprise was enough to stop Polly in her tracks, staring first at the wolf, then Mara, then at the wolf again, eyes wide with shock. Trembling, she nodded her thanks at her warrior poet friend, then grasped the side of her head with one hand as she looked around the battlefield.

What am I doing? she thought to herself, only now realizing how far gone she had been. Panting, staggering backwards, Polly realized her mistake. Her rage and grief had blinded her, almost consumed her, while the vampire had been free to prey upon her friends. In the back of her mind, Polly could hear a shrill cackling, as if someone was quite pleased at her momentary lapse of judgement.

'Quiet, you,' she snarled, shaking her head. Now that the veil of anger had been lifted, the monk could feel her inner darkness subside. She quickly made her way over to where her friends were fighting the vampire, stopping only to grab Ismark's shoulder, glancing at the mayor's son to make sure he was alright. Then she continued on, eyes on the vampire ahead.

Calming her breathing, Polly drew upon her last reserves. Concentrating on the darkness within the vampire, she extended both arms towards the undead thing. As she did, the monk tried to get a hold of the evil animating the vampire's form, pushing against it, trying to pull apart the darkness. Searing sun bolt
To hit: 19
6 radiant damage
The vampire writhed and screamed in agony as its essence was torn apart, the darkness which had claimed her dissipating into nothing as Polly unraveled the strands of shadows chaining its soul.

Yet still the vampire clung to life, Polly sinking to one knee with the effort of attempting to banish the corruption. Panting through her teeth, the Hexblood tried but failed to summon the light necessary to banish this evil, her spirit depleted after encountering so many undead horrors. 'Halas!' she cried out, tearing her eyes from the vampire to find her halfling friend. 'Grant her the peace she deserves!'

”Quickly, finish them off,” she called over her shoulder to all involved in this melee that she called allies. One wolf remained, and the vampire, for although she was unsure of the newcomers, they did seem to be on the side of the travellers.

Setting her mind to the task at hand, Mara struck at the wolf Miss!first with the axe blade and then spun the weapon about to BA attack, 15 to hit, 8 damageconnect with the blunt end of the shaft. She hoped to put the creature down quickly, herself, but this one had outlasted all the others and seemed determined to outlast the heroes as well. The fighter muttered under her breath, ”Oh, just die already.”

His eyes seemingly glowing red in the dim light, Jhorn growls with his mouth open, revealing his pronounced canine teeth. His friend's sister or not, this @#$% needed to be destroyed. He raises his shield up high for defense as his right arm circles underneath his shield, and then with a guttural yell he delivers a vicious backswing right to the neck of the vampire with his axe.

Halas Fogbarrel
right-aligned image
About to take another swipe at his sister with his sword, Halas held his arm back as Jhorn's axe slice her throat open causing the dark blood of a vampire to spill forth, ending her unnatural life. The halfling cradled her form as she sunk to the ground, tears welling up in his eyes as he watched the spark leave hers. "This is all my fault. I never should have left you. Curse my wanderlust. Curse my selfishness."
