Seeing Lia fall; Morgaine yells out, "NO!"
She will move to Y30 and attack the evil prince that took her down.
Poljen does his best to tear the vines away as they begin to slither around his arms and legs…
Out of Character: : Strength Check is at Advantage while Raging. I am setting the roll to +8, +4 for Strength and +4 for Proficiency in case this is Athletics. I do NOT get the additional +1 for the Cloak of Protection since it is a Check, rather than a Save. If not Athletics, but a Save, it would be +9. If he should only get the +4, please adjust the results accordingly. The results will dictate the post for the next round, which I will get to tomorrow. Oh, and Bless?
Cursing aloud Lawrance mentally call sout "Lia is down, the Prince is now himself and will need to spell himself out of the Cube! Unless he somehow suppresses the field, He's trapped there, but so is she!" With a quick guesture, Lawrance sends a bead of fiery energy past the Prince and the Trolls, detonating a Fireball behind their assets!
Specific Action: Fireball centered on Z35 to catch the prince in the edges of the blast and detonation hopefully afterwards, but not Lia. DC 16. Ready to counterspell his counterspell, if he tries that little trick. If he doesn't use COunterspell, I'll use my ward to block as much damage as possible from Lia's body when/if the Trolls explode.

Tazskan, seeing that the prince has replaced the elemental, is presented with a different target.
"Get your hands off her," he yells
As he unleashes two agonizing. Eldritch blasts, with the push back property.
Out of Character: the push back 10 feet should work on humanoid sized target.
Poljen grins as his tree-trunk legs, broad chest and muscular arms tear free from the magical vines and plants the dragoness has summoned. He looms over her diminutive figure as he raises his axe. "You might fare better in your natural form, evil one!"
Out of Character: : Keep attacking. I know the damage won't come off her normal HP count… but eventually she has to turn into dragon shape…
Velon hears Lia's cry for help and turns just in time to see her go down after a vicious blow, the Prince standing over her. "NO!" he cries as he charges forward a few feet before doing a misty step into the cube area, appearing with one knee on the ground right next to Lia. The Paladin raises his shield to protect himself and Lia from the Prince and moves his hammer over her forehead, touching his clenched fist to her skin. He calls upon Bahamut's divine power once more and uses Lay on Hands to bring her back to consciousness with 20 points of healing. "Lia, get back" he says to her as she opens her eyes. Velon does his best to put himself between Neronvain and Lia to take any blows from him and raises his weapon hand up to touch a finger against the silence stone around his neck, hoping to disrupt whatever the Prince's next move might be, if only for a second.
Out of Character:
Basically just:
-Lay on Hands
-Silence Stone (Hoping as free action, just to touch it to his skin, as drawing a weapon would be)
-Moving to AA30. He'd move right on top of Lia if he could, but that's not how positioning normally works here.
*Also, I could easily see Velon's Reaction this round being Shield OR Absorb Elements, depending on what big hit he takes first, if any. We'll see what happens!

For a brief moment, Perry celebrates his first ever melee victory against the immensely powerful clay golem. He gives a thumbs-up to Morgaine with a smile. The celebration is short-lived however, as he surveys the cavern to see Lia on the ground and Poljen looking bloodied at the hands of Chuth. An explosion is heard and time seems to slow down as Perry watches Velon rush to Lia’s aid.
“I can’t save everyone,” he thinks to himself. “I just can’t.” He pulls out his white songblade this time and points it directly at Neronvain. With a fierce look, he threatens the prince, “Don’t think this is anywhere near over, copycat. My friends will deal with the likes of you.”
Then, Perry flys up just a few feet and clears his throat to get his friends’ attention. Motivated by the scene of Lia rising back to her feet, he yells, “DON’T LOSE TO THESE STUPID BULLIES!”
Immediately after, he flys away but keeps his eyes on Poljen over the thorns. Through the party’s mental channel, he says, “Poljen, I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye both literally and figuratively, but I need you to trust me. Please, it’s the only way this can work. Are you willing?”
With that said, Perry flies behind the clay golem and towards the back of the cavern several feet to get out of line of sight and a good distance away from the prince, knowing that his magic could be countered if he were too close. He lands and begins banging his white sword rhythmically against his shield like a drum. An immense amount of fey magic begins forming around Poljen as the bard sings:
♩ ♪ ♫
You can be the greatest,
You can be the best,
You can be the Great Ape banging on his chest
You can beat the world,
You can win the war,
You can talk to Sune, go banging on her door
♩ ♪ ♫
Specific Action: Bonus Action - Mantle of Inspiration on Velon, Lia, Poljen, and Perry. Movement to AA18. Action - Polymorph: Giant Ape on Poljen. Use rest of movement (Including reaction movement from mantle) to end at AF19
Out of Character: Whew, so Velon, Lia, Poljen, and Perry all get 8 temporary hit points and advantage on their next saving throw. If you want, you can choose to use your reaction to move up to your normal movement speed while avoiding opportunity attacks. Paul, if Poljen is willing, he will turn into a Giant Ape. You can look up the statblock and abilities online but it’s pretty powerful. Sorry, but you will have to reroll your attacks since Perry is ahead on initiative. Apologies everyone for the super long post! Fun fact, that song idea has been around ever since the mock battle between Poljen/Velon and Lia/Perry.
Poljen grins as he breaks free of the vines, when suddenly he hears Perry. For a moment he considers fighting the enchantment, then growls and accedes to the spell. He morphs into the giant ape, retaining his golden eagle eyes, and immediately tries to smash Chuth, whatever form she is currently in.
Out of Character: : Reckless, of course… and my attack rolls are actually the same… +9! I'd better hit… oh, the damage is 3d10+6, so I am rolling d10+2, three times each.
