Huitzopochitl wants to rip your heart out (IC)

[J-H]

I'm not an artist, so this is the best I could do for an Aaracokra Huitzopochitl. It's technically a possessed stone statue, but they had really, really good paints available.

[J-H]

The world flickers before you for a moment as space and the fabric of reality itself has a small hole punched in it.

You arrive fifty feet above the top of the high temple of Huitzopochitl, a shining gold-covered stepped temple at the heart of the city of Koamehtlani. To the north, east, and south of you are thousands of buildings containing tens of thousands of Aaracokra - while many more travel about their city through flight. To the west is the sun, hanging low and reflecting off the lake.

The reddish sunset is outshone by the towering figure that dominates the top level of the temple, a large stone figure of an Aaracokra wielding a spear. A necklace of 10 beating hearts encircles its neck, and beads of glowing light circle its head like a crown as it looks up at you. It glows with a fierce heat, and is so bright you can hardly stand to look at it.

The bloody stone altar in front of it, and the priests near the altar and guards near the steps, pale in comparison - but you have long experience telling you that they have weapons and spells of their own, and no fear of death in battle.

There are more, below, on lower levels of the temple, including two quadrupedal creatures you recognize as Ahuitzotl - cat-like creatures with human hands instead of paws, and another hand on their tail - creatures that can drown the unwary merely by being nearby. You've fought them in the wild, and at the temple of the rain god Tlaloc.

Spoiler: Ahuitzotl

You know that they're about CR 7 with a 10' radius on their drown aura.

Idol of Huitzopochitl

The glowing figure looks up at you. You hear a voice echo in some primordial language that you can all understand as though it were your native tongue. "The troublemakers, come at last to sacrifice yourselves to me. I am unstoppable."

The spear fused to the idol's hand points at three of you in turn, firing three bright, iridescent beams at three of your number, while one of the motes orbiting its head shoots up to explode next to Drak.

"Be surrounded by my glory, the rainbow god of war."

A shimmering, multicolored sphere of light englobes all 5 of you, cutting off your view of the rest of the world. It's extremely bright and seems to be all colors at once. Those who can still see recognize the characteristics of a Prismatic Sphere.

You are all surrounded by a 25' diameter Prismatic Sphere. Everyone needs to make a DC 22 Constitution save or be blinded for 1 minute.

Sentinel/PAM-like opportunity attack with a reach of 10'. If you don't have reach, you can't hit with your attack because you're stopped. Speed is reduced to 0 so unfortunately you can't Cunning Action past it. If you see a problem with the wording please let me know. I believe I just copied existing feats to construct the reaction.

Defensive Strike. When an enemy approaches to within 10’ of the Idol, it lashes out with its spear. If the attack hits, the target’s speed is reduced to 0 until the beginning of its next turn.

Suddenly the voice of The Serpend sounded across the plateau of the pyramid:

"THIS FIGHT IS YOUR GODS FIGHT, DO NOT DISHONOR HIM BY INTERVENING OR LETTING ANYONE ELSE INTERVENE, SO THAT THE MIGHTY HUIZOPOCHITL MAY SHOW YOU HIS GLORY!"

"You still serve me!" The idol shouts. One of the priests nearby stiffens as the spell is removed from him.

Senior Priests
The northernmost Senior Priest (1) targets Drak, Sleth, and Vasily with Hold Person. Wis DC 16 or paralyzed. A spectral dagger also appears and stabs at Sleth (spiritual weapon) (1d20+8)[25] for (1d8+4)[11] force damage.

The other Senior Priest (2) casts another spell, calling into being a giant curved line of flame.
(Firestorm, 7 10' cubes should hit everyone when lined up correctly) (7d10)[39] fire damage, Dex DC 16 half.
A spectral dagger also appears and stabs at Drak (spiritual weapon) (1d20+8)[17] for (1d8+4)[5] force damage.
Senior Priest 3, down below, flies to the north, heading slightly away from the temple but still watching.

Important Note
The Idol has a blinding/damaging aura. I mis-read it the first round as "when you start your turn within 20' of him." It's actually "when you start your turn or move to within 20' of him for the first time on your turn" as with Spirit Guardians. No takebacks though.
When you start your turn within 20', or move to within 20' of him from now on, take 2d12 fire damage (no save) and make a DC 22 Constitution save or be blinded until the beginning of your next turn.

The Idol's turn
One of the glowing motes orbiting its head (Crown of Stars) fires at Umara (1d20+14)[30] for (4d12)[20] radiant damage.
That's followed immediately by a much larger ball of light that shoots into the sky and explodes with the radiance of a third sun, scorching all of you.

Umara weathers blasts of heat and light, too slow to get out of way of any of them. A lance skates across her ribs as an aarakocra darts up to attack her and she grits her teeth against the pain, waiting for her moment.

As the idol throws out a massive ball of light, she flicks her hand a second time."Rule number thr-"

Light fills her vision. "Aaah! My eyes!"

Umara swerves her broom upwards and away, frantically throwing out a variation on the spell she had just tried, blinking furiously to try to clear her vision.

She yanked the staff off her back, needing the reassurance of its steady power.

Umara is flying upwards until she's next to The Serpent and about 5 feet higher. I'm really hoping that paladin aura is going to help her save at the end of her turn.

I'm not sure if that movement will provoke an opportunity attack from the aaracokra champion whose reach she just left. They should still be under the effect of The Serpent's mass suggestion.

Umara's action is to cast dispel magic at 8th level at the High Priest. Holy Aura will end, as will any other spell the High Priest may have cast on himself, provided they are 8th level or lower. She doesn't need to see to be able to cast dispel magaic and she should be beyond the range of counterspell now.

Save at the end of her turn against blindness from Sunburst: (1d20+18)[37]

The only change since the last map is Vasily just to the right of the High Priest, and Umara's altitude changing to 75' and being next to The Serpent.

Drak

Drak decides we need to take this high priest out. He is likely easier to kill than the idol, and his spellcasting is messing with Umara and Serpent. He stays where he is and attacks the priest, trying to knock him out.

He then moves 20' south.

I assume Sleth is attacking the idol so my action won't change theirs. I'll be out the rest of the day so I'm going to post now.

Instead of granting advantage, he will use his gloves to heal himself equal to the force damage they deal.

Attack 1: (1d20+14)[21], 26 Advantage, Damage: (1d10+8)[10], Force/Heal: (2d10)[10]
Attack 2: (1d20+14)[17], 23 Advantage, Damage: (1d10+8)[18], Force/Heal: (2d10)[7]
BA Attack: (1d20+14)[20], 16 Advantage, Damage: (1d10+8)[15], Force/Heal: (2d10)[4]
Flurry Attack: (1d20+14)[15], 33 Advantage, Damage: (1d10+8)[16], Force/Heal: (2d10)[15]

For any that hit, use stunning strike for 1 Ki. DC22 CON save or stunned until the end of my next turn.

Let me know which ones hit so I can apply the healing too.

Sleth, after having been stopped the first time, charges in again. "You aren't getting away that easily!" she yells, stabbing the idol with her Avenger.

Hit AC 32, for 14+33=47 magical piercing damage.

[J-H]

Sleth's blow is true, her magical sword biting deep for 47 damage. Drak lands next to the downed high priest, firing off a flurry of blows, 3 of which strike. The priest tries to slash at Drak as the elf retreats to the south, but misses.

I forgot that the high priest took fall damage when being knocked out of the sky. (1d6)[1]
Drak hits 3 times, healing for 32hp. Damages High Priest by 76hp.

I'm interpreting that as "stunning strike on all hits until one sticks."

HP will use Legendary Resistance on all that fail, which may be all of them. Only 3 LRs total... 1 LR remaining

If not stunned, OA, disadvantage from prone, unless I missed a free step of the wind feature or something.
Attack (1d20+14)[23] or (1d20+14)[17] obviously a miss

High Priest
The high priest stands and cries out in the Aaracokra language. "Huitzopochitl strengthens me!" as many of his wounds close. He then flies up to an altitude of 40' and casts a spell, sending a cone of prismatic rays up at The Serpent and Umara.

Idol

You hear a sneer in your head. "Die, then." Behind Sleth and the Serpent, you hear a tearing sound, followed by a strong wind and the howl of air being sucked through a small space at high speed, as a 3' long black rift of nothingness appears in reality, swinging through both of them. The Idol stabs thrice with its glowing spear.

The sharp breeze of air being sucked into a vacuum offers little relief from the blazing bright light and heat surrounding everyone close to the idol.
