Adelaide DarkdraftFrom the amount, and tone, of screaming behind her, Adelaide could only assume the fight was going reasonably well for her friends. Of course that did little to help her out against the enemy that just strolled up and started hacking at her with a sword while she fiddled about with magic. Magic which she nearly lost in the chaos of battle, leaving her feeling bitter about the situation. Perhaps it was that bitterness that left her rattled, and caused her to miss the cultist with Attack 1, 17 to hit, 11 damage; Attack 2/3 - missall but one swing of her own blade as she sought to return the favor. Cursing, only barely under her breath, she brought her shield up to defend herself.

GallindanGallindan grins as Aaric finishes off the hellhound. He steps to his left and lunges at the nearest cultist. But once again, his attacks are mistimed. He settles for just one blow that lands, but amplifies it once again with his magic. "Let the light shine!"
OOCMove to E7 (I don't think I can reach attack THROUGH Aaric), then attack on C4. Missed TWICE, so Smiting again to get some damage done. I make that 32 damage total, if they take fiend damage. I don't think Bhelogan ever confirmed or denied that?

Oren Kyre

Oren witnesses the pale pillar of light shine down upon the battle, and can hear the whoosh of the tidal wave. He knew that some of his friends were flexing their magical muscles, and could only hope that the rest were faring just as well. There was no time to glance around as he could see through the bushes there were other cultists and hell hounds racing towards them.

The cultist before him falls with the name "Gavric" on his lips, a name that Oren recalls from the last battle, but he thought that they had killed him then. More to puzzle on later...

"Lux!" it's all he needed to say, since he and the imp were telepathically linked and the little creature knew Oren's mind as well as the warlock did.

At once, Lux turns invisible only to appear behind one of the approaching cultists.

Oren lowers his hammer and focuses his attention on the cultist further away, past the fiery hounds. Once in view he unleashes a wave of mental energy in the man's direction!

The Road
Adelaide and Gillindan both only managed to hit their foes once each, the difference being that Gillindan infused his hit with a smite, on a foe that was already heavily injured by running through Daybreak's Spike Growth. As a result, one of the cultists was dead, while the other was still on his feet to face the Paladin. Meanwhile, Oren picked off the trailing cultists with his blasts, and Lux stung another in the neck.

Kerwin and Isabella focused on the cultists near Adelaide, hurling magic missiles and balls of flame at the man. Both hit, yet still, the cultists stood. That was until a javelin thrown from Aaric landed. "Watch out for those Hell Hounds!" Aaric called out, noticing that the other beasts were now nearing the front line. Trying to slow their advance, Daybreak used their wildshape abilities to turn into a bear and rush the dogs. Her massive form rushed forward and tore into one of the injured hounds.

In response, the two hounds bite at the bear. Daybreak dodged one of them, but the other got its firey maw over one of her legs, and singed her badly. Still, the bear form held. Next, one of the cultists ran forward, stabbing at the bear. Again, a blow landed, but Daybreak just managed to keep her form intact. The other Hell Hound ran through the moonbeam, making a B-line for Adelaide. It snapped its powerful, flame-filled jaws at the woman, in a strike that surely would have landed were it not for the added speed she had due to Kerwin's spell of Haste. The last cultist had his attention turned towards Lux. The annoying Imp's luck didn't hold out this time, and two blows later dismissed the familiar from the material plane. Oren would have to spend time re-casting his find familiar spell to recall Lux to this world of luxury and ale.

Back on the road, the Antilantern was shaking.

Adelaide DarkdraftEvading the bite of the fiendish hound, Adelaide caught it with Haste Attack on H3, 16 to hit, 10 slashing and 15 radiant damagea slash from her blade and unleashed a burst of power into it. As she recovered, bringing her blade back in line she brought her shield around to Shield Master shove on H3 to knock it prone, Athletics - 16slam into the hell hound and knock it down to limit its movement. Up ahead she watched a bear fighting some of the other hell hounds and another cultist, yet another strange sight for Adelaide since she’d left her small village. Still, Daybreak’s aid, if that was her, might prove advantageous, and Adelaide Action - move Moonbeam over the three enemies fighting Daybreakredirected her spell to sit over top of the gathered enemies.

GallindanWith the nearby enemies defeated, Gallindan surveyed the battlefield. He saw the lantern shaking, which worried him. But what worried him more was the blood spilling from several open wounds on the enormous bear he assumed had to be Daybreak. He watched as Adelaide moved her moonbeam to capture the dryad's foes. But she needed more help than that, he suspected. A swirl of bright green leaves sprang up to circle him... and then he was gone. Across the road, another swirl of leaves appeared out of nowhere, and the eladrin was there, his blade slashing out at the nearest hellhound, and finding purchase.
OOCFey Step to K9, which uses his bonus action. Then attack on H1. I make that 2 hits for 22 total. New position puts Daybreak and Oren in range of both his auras... but I think they were already in range of Adelaide's? Edit to add: also Kerwin and Isabella.

Oren winces as he feels the invisible psychic cord connecting him and Lux on this plane snap. He didn't have to look to know that his imp companion was slain - for now at least. "That'll cost me," he mutters somewhat sardonically, figuring the imp will exact payment in the form of aged single malt whiskey when he flaps into the material plane once again.

The roar of a wounded grissly bear snaps him back to the moment as he sees his dearest companion in beast form and getting savagely attacked by a trio of hell hounds. Thankfully, Adelaide and Gallindan were already stepping in to help. Hefting his warhammer, the warlock strides in Daybreak's direction to intercede as well. He sends another wave of psychic energy at the cultist closest to her, while rounding on the cultist still coming out of the woods. "You should rethink your allegiances. Before you are completely destroyed, you have one last chance to surrender."

The Road
Adelaide finished off the Hell Hound facing her with a visous smite. It didn't need to be shoved after that, but she moved her moonbeam over to help Daybreak's wildshaped bear. The moonbeam did its damage, and two more foes fell to the mighty party. Gallindan appeared nearby and hammered the remaining Hell Hound, causing damage, but not ending the beast. Oren called out for the last man to surrender. The Cultist didn't do so, but he also didn't continue to fight. Instead, he ran towards the Lantern in a dash as fast as he could. As the cultist neared the lantern, a blast of energy shot out from it, causing the cultist to explode. The momentum he had left his guts and blood flying forward and landing on the lantern. The sacrifice had its intended effect, the lantern exploded. In its place, a powerful demon now stood, having been gated to the material plane. It was stunned for the moment, having just been transported, but that would not last.

GallindanGallindan blinked as the battlefield changed dramatically once again. His eyes flashed with rage and resolve as the demon Gated in. In his ancient Elvish dialect, he called out, "Not this world, outsider. Not while I live." He paused just a moment, laying his left hand on his belt buckle. The silvered blade of his glaive began to pulse green and gold and bronze, the colors of the Feywild in summer. He strode forward as fast as he could, but paused when he realized the fiend was recovering from its rude awakening.

Just when he thought it might be the end, Oren watches as the spray of gore opens a gate to the abyss, unleashing another foe. He moves forward, staying close to Daybreak and getting between the wagon and the demon as Gallindan moves forward as well.

The warlock had some experience with demons, and shouts encouragement to his companions, particularly Isabelle, "Take heart! This creature can die like any other beast!" With that, he unleashes a blast of energy designed to knock the still dazed creature flat. He hoped, at least.

The Road
As the party rushed forward to face the new threat, Oren lashed out with a blast that knocked the demon backward, and flat on his backside. Even at that distance, Kerwin was able to hit it wit a few magic missiles, without having to leave his comfortable seat on his wagon. Adelaide moved her Moonbeam over the foe, but even with her hasted movement, could not quite reach the creature now that it had been blasted backward.

The Demon immediately stood back up, and uttered some dark incantations that sent it flying into the air, out of reach for those sitting on the ground. It then blasted out a warning, not aloud, but one that echoed in everyone's mind telepathically. "Fools! Fall and worship me, or perish."

Adelaide DarkdraftGritting her teeth against the thoughts forcing themselves into her mind, Adelaide slid her sword away and looked up at the demon above her. Taking hold of the magic, she directed the column of moonlight back over the flying monster once more. ”No, I don’t think so.”

With the speed of Kerwin’s spell still fueling her, she pulled a javelin and took aim at the demon. She knew well that her weapons were good enough for mortal threats, but not made to handle creatures from the planes. Despite that, she knew that she could not simply sit back and do nothing. With a grunt she let the missile fly and hoped for the best.

As a warlock, Oren's magical resources were thin at best. Cursing to see his tactical error complicate the rest of the party's attacks, he sees his options diminish as the demon takes to the air. "Not sure what our most effective path is now," he mutters, but he's sure this group can figure it out.

In the meantime, he sends a wave of psychic energy at the demon, hoping to keep it fighting rather than letting it fly away.

GallindanGallindan curses colorfully and loudly as the fiend takes to the air. "I see you fear our blades, outsider! You are wiser than you look." He drops his glaive to the ground and draws his bow. He fires two arrows into the sky, but is unhappy with the result.
