Polina and Rax move northwards and focus their attacks on the monk by Wuffles. If he goes down, they advance as a pair towards the caster.

(1d20+7)[14] for (1d8+4)[11] slashing and (1d6)[3] lightning.
And again: (1d20+7)[11] for (1d8+4)[8] slashing.

Rax's attack: (1d20+6)[26] for (1d6+3)[5] piercing and (1d6)[6] lightning.

[Amnestic]

Polina's dual axe swings are parried by the monk's quick fists, but that leaves his calf open to an extremely nasty bite from Rax that sees him almost collapse. The whip-wielding spellcaster takes advantage of the movement, lines up a massive charge of lightning, and unleashes it in a searing line that scorches and shocks. Even so, with the fog gone Leif, Wuffles, and Polina are able to see it coming and evade the worst of it.

Her spell delivered, she retreats back to cover, shutting the door behind her.

Polina misses twice, but Rax crits for 22 total, bloodying the monk.

U moves down and then casts Lightning Bolt in a line on Leif, Wuffles, and Polina. A trio of high saves (14, 15, and 20 plus mods respectively vs DC15) neuters the 30 damage down to 15 lightning each.

She then moves to the north room, and shuts the door behind her.

Ayalla, Leif, Trellara, and Paul are again up.

[Amnestic]

The agile monk ducks away from Ayalla's sacred flame, though the dodge doesn't save him from Wuffles' bite, nor is the other one safeguarded from the trio of attacks from Paul, Trellara, and Leif. Still, despite everything, they remain barely standing, and the proximity to death pushes them to go beyond their limits. A torrent of electrified fists rain down upon you. Leif dodges one, but a second catches her off guard, and the damage proves too much. Perhaps the shock of Leif falling affected Polina and Trellara, as they both find themselves critically struck by additional strikes in turn - so much so that the elven songstress falls unconscious. The bedroll beneath her is small comfort for the pain inflicted.

Spoiler: Map

Show

Sacred Flame save passed (11+5=16). Wuffles hits due to pack tactics, but doesn't prone.
Leif hits
Trellara hits.
Paul hits with both shots.

Both monks are close to dropping but they pulled out the reserves this turn, critting for 3 of their 8 attacks.

The north one attacks Leif first, missing once and then hitting for 5. This drops her to 0 (you hadn't factored in the flurry damage from 2 turns ago into your HP, it was -32, leaving you on 3, not 35).
They then miss Polina and crit her for 12 lightning.

The other one attacks Trellara, missing once and critting twice (8, 16) and hitting once for 9. This takes her down from her 31 HP to 0, leaving both Leif and Trellara making death saves.

Polina shrugs off some of the electrical damage, being a well-grounded character. She removes her ring, though, to prevent Leif taking any further punishment on Polina's behalf.

Then she continues wailing on the monk nearby. Rax joins in for good measure.

Spoiler: OOC - attacks

Show

Removing the ring can be done in tandem with movement and Polina's pretty much staying put anyhow (though if the monk falls, she and Rax advance on the other one).
(1d20+7)[18] for (1d8+4)[9] slashing and (1d6)[1] lightning.
Again: (1d20+7)[17] for (1d8+4)[10] slashing.

Rax: (1d20+6)[16] for (1d6+3)[8] piercing and (1d6)[4] lightning.

[Amnestic]

Polina's axe cleaves through one and drops them, to the ground, and then aims for a second, cutting him close, but not quite ending the ascetic hobgoblin's life. The spellcaster bursts from her hiding place, lines up another burst of electricity, and thrusts it through the centre of the room, right towards Paul and Ayalla guarding the 'exit'. Leif's unconscious form is caught up in the blast. Wuffles and Paul manage to evade the worst of it, but Ayalla's sight must have been blocked by Paul's form, as she eats it fully.

Even with the damage dealt, there's a flash of concern and trepidation over the spellcaster's face. Her eyes flicker to the corpses arrayed around her, as if weighing up her options. The monk expresses no such hesitation though - fanatical fury fills his every movement.

Spoiler: Map

Polina hits one monk, and downs them. Moving round she then hits the other (barely) but they're on 2HP and still alive. Rax barely misses.

U moves out, positions herself, and lightning bolts Ayalla (failed save 29 damage), Paul and Wuffles (passed saves 14 damage), before repositioning. Leif also gets caught in the spell and earns a failed death save for it.
