As soon as the new turn starts, because the Snake Tail was killed, the Poison Cloud dissipates.
Fimrok
(Fimrok is poisoned but is fighting his Blood Pact enemy, so disadvantage and advantage cancel each other out. But because Harlan is flanking the Chimera with Fimrok, they both get advantage on attacks against the creature)
Fimrok once again tries to wrap his tail around the Chimera to restrain the target, but the Chimera is too fast in it's reflexes and is able to dodge it.
Furious, Fimrok raises his cleaver, attacking the monster and it hits
critically! Causing
15 points of Damage. Fimrok's cleaver sinks into the creatures right shoulder and then as he retracts the weapon, the serrated blades cut the creature from inside.
Chimera
The chimera looks really damaged and the Lion head roars furiously.
The Lion closes it's mouth and the party can already see the embers and smoke rising from it's snout. The Lion then looks down and releases a torrent of flames from it's mouth, creating a wave of fire around it, hitting all the players engaged in melee combat with it.
Fimrok isn't able to react fast enough, but because of his red scales he is able to resist part of the fire damage. Fimrok takes
10 points of Damage.
Harlan, still on the floor, notices the fire build up from the Chimera and rolls away, escaping part of the attack. Harlan takes
10 points of Damage.
Virven notices the build up of fire and smoke and is able to react faster, escaping part of flames. Virven takes
10 points of Damage.
The Chimera then aligns it's fangs in an open palm, and thrusts it against Fimrok's chest, trying to pierce his body, but the attack doesn't land very well and it's repelled by Fimrok's scales.
Harlan
Harlan gets up from his failed jump (uses half his movement) and targets the Chimera's tendons.
Harlan activates his Vibrato Blade once again, using his Death Fang installed in his right arm. The blade vibrates at a high frequency and improves it's cutting potential and it hits. Causing
23 points of Damage. Harlan cuts the Chimera's tendons and reduces the speed of the creature to 0.
The Chimera hunches down with both of the attacks, looking extremely damaged and coughing up blood. The Monster is at it's last legs!
With a bonus action, Harlan activates his Chameleon's Veil once again and hides completely from the creature and his allies, perfectly executing his escape.
Once he turns invisible, Harlan then moves to the right with the rest of his movement to align with the stairs and check what's down there. To his surprise, there's no enemies and the path is blocked by the earth and the destroyed structure. But, sticking out from under the rubble, is the arm of a statue, and in the statue's hand rests a small red uneven stone, the stone is dripping with a red liquid, slowly creating a puddle at the bottom of the stairs and from time to time it lights up and flashes with a red light.
Virven
Virven uses his bonus action to consume the antidote he bought before the battle, healing his
poisoned condition.
Virven then once again generates electricity in his fist with the help of his divine bracer and attacks the Chimera, hitting him! Causing
6 points of Damage.
At this exact moment, Virven hears a thunderous voice inside his head, like a small storm, the words of his god:
"Well Done!"
As Virven's fist impacts the Chimera, he sees the Monster's body going limp from the damage, but the air surrounding them starts to crackle. In the middle of the clear day sky, with no clouds, a massive Lightning Bolt comes crashing down right at the top of the Chimera, completely turning it to ash, the only remains being it's two great horns that fall on the ground with burn marks, they should be enough as a proof for the Monster Hunter Guild.
Congratulations, the party has caused 104 points of damage on the Chimera and killed it!
(The Chimera had 100 Health Points)
Because the Chimera died, Fimrok gain's 50% of it's max health as a heal. Giving him
50 points of health.
Fimrok - 52/52 - Poisoned
Virven - 18/32
Harlan - 10/20
As the party recovers from action, they all gather closer to the stairs and see the same thing that Harlan saw. A statue's hand sticking out from under the rubble, holding on to a small, uneven and red stone that is dripping a red liquid that looks like blood and flashing red from time to time. Under it, a puddle is being formed.
So, the party has one final decision to make? what do they do with the stone?
take it? leave it? destroy it?
