Jessica is outraged by the demon standing before her. "What profane fool would summon such a monster from the depths of hell? I reject you, demon, and all whom you serve!"
SpoilerBefore battle, Jessica casts Aid and Bless on herself, Hyra and Merry and activated her Boots of Speed.
Use Channel Divinity: Abjure the Extraplanar.
As an action, you present your holy symbol and each aberration, celestial, elemental, fey, or fiend within 30 feet of you that can hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end its move in a space within 30 feet of you. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can take the Dodge action.

Re: Dangerous Old Men & Women (5e, high level NPC combat testing) IC
Hyra's spell catches the cleric unawares, and he doesn't dodge out of the way (24 damage). Lanius moves up, firing 3 arrows; two hit, and the other clangs off the priest's armor (2 hits for 12+15+9 = 36). Jessica rebukes the Balor, and Gothmog flinches before the holy power channeled through her (failed!).
The priest of Pelor flings a great ball of light at the group, then withdraws to the far side of the flames. "My apologies, great Gothmog!"
Spoiler

Merry is blinked out, and thus doesn't suffer from the spell.
The Balor snarls at the burning light, but also seems to regain its courage (taking damage ends the Turn effect).

The Balor easily shrugs off Merry's spell, lashing out at the wizard with his whip. The fiery thongs wrap around Merry and pull him closer. With his other hand, the demon slashes down at Jessica, his sword-strike landing with a crackling sound. "You dare to seek mastery over ME?"

Whip. Melee Weapon Attack: (1d20+14)[30] to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: (2d6+8)[15] slashing damage plus (3d6)[14] fire damage. The target must succeed on a dc 20 strength saving throw or be pulled up to 25 feet toward the Balor.

Also note for Hyra, Jessica, and Merry: Fire Aura. At the start of each of the balor's turns, each creature within 5 feet of it takes 3d6 fire damage, and flammable objects in the aura that aren't being worn or carried ignite. A creature that touches the balor or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 3d6 fire damage.Last edited by J-H; 2024-04-30 at 06:40 PM.

Re: Dangerous Old Men & Women (5e, high level NPC combat testing) IC
Hyra ends her wall spell, then touches Lanius, curing his blindness. The elf runs forward, firing his bow at the priest, who seems to be able to see him (no advantage/no sneak attack), scoring one hit (17. He ducks behind a pillar (moved back 1 space to put pillar fully between him and priest).
Jessica dodges, and blinks away the blindness.
The priest casts a spell and heals himself (Heal, 70hp). His wounds close almost entirely.

Merry decides the priest needs to feel a little heat, too. He moves away from the Balor down the center aisle, trying not to provoke its wrath in his direction. He fires off a ray of pure force towards the priest, hoping to undo all his healing efforts.

Hyra moves farther from the Balor, but her spell fails as it sneers at her. "No." Lanius strikes with an arrow. Jessica charges forwards, but the Balor parries both of her blades. "A holy warrior. How quaint."

Dense fog fills most of the temple...but not the area around Jessica. The Balor looms over her, half in and half out of the fog. Fire comes from it, and its shadowy wings, limned with flame, spread as it leaps over her head while striking down.

Re: Dangerous Old Men & Women (5e, high level NPC combat testing) IC
Hyra's beam is partly dodged. Lanius gets scorched by the guardian, even though it can't see him. He moves closer, his blindsight allowing him to fire two arrows into Teopixki at close range. Jessica slashes at the Balor, her weapon flashing with light as she smites it (33 damage total).
The cleric calls upon Pelor, and a bright light cuts through the smoke momentarily. You're not sure what happened, as it wasn't the sound of a spell being cast. A spectral mace appears next to Hyra, attacking her.
Spoiler
Spiritual Weapon. I'm assuming vision disadvantage applies?

Merry reappears and, remembering that he's right on the edge of a spell effect, attempts to dispel the Guardian of Faith that stands between the group and the priest. If it succeeds, he moves up through the fog (which is still spreading) until Merry reaches the altar and stands face to face with the priest, calling out "over here!" to the party.
For good measure, Merry blinks out of existence again.

Merry dispels the guardian, then blinks out. The fog expands, rolling over Jessica and the Balor. Flames wash over her ((3d6)[12] fire damage). Taking advantage of her blindness, the demon flies through the fog, landing near the altar.
(No OA thanks to being unable to see it.)

Hyra moves to the side, firing a Sunbeam, but stumbles as she lands and falls with a clatter. Both enemies resist the worst of her sunbeam.
As Lanius fires his arrows at the priest, Gothmog's fiery whip snakes out to attack him.
Spoiler
Disadvantage - can't see his target.
Attack (1d20+14)[26] or (1d20+14)[20] for (2d6+8)[15] slashing and (3d8)[13] fire, plus DC 20 Str save or pull closer
(1d20)[3]
It doesn't keep Lanius from moving, so he still ends up where he is going I think.
