@Reed--You hear it. It'll take you a round to get there (not including the surprise round). I'll roll initiative at the end of Round 1. @Strathalmere--No crit this time, but you do hit with another stab.
Surprise Round (Round 0)
The cultist screams in pain as Strathalmere stabs him. Strathalmere pulls his blade from the wound and stabs again, eliciting another cry of pain from the wounded man and dealing 12 damage.
Emeryn sees Reed turn toward the east. "What was that?" She starts to follow him down the hall. "Luan, sounds like another battle has started!" she calls to him hurriedly as she and Reed lead the way.
I assume if Reed heard it and I'm standing right next to him I can just go with him. Not sure if Paravrax has the door closed to his room, but I would assume Luan and Korvat see us leave as well.
Does my Sneak Attack get my DEX mod damage added to it? I'm assuming yes unless told otherwise.
Lucial ignored the screams (whether he could hear them or not) and walked through room 3, down the hall, and towards room 24.
"I want to know what was on the other side of that ravine, and if my bearings are correct, this way should lead there," Lucial stated tersely over his shoulder on his way out of room 4.

If you're going to go off and get killed, don't forget I gave you blessing of the trickster earlier. You have advantage on stealth. Don't die. There will be no rescuing you.
The map of the dungeon you found is slightly magical. That was the only magic he could detect.
Round 1
The wounded cultist staggers to his feet. He reaches out and touches Strathalmere, necrotic energy flowing from his hand. "Rot," he sputters, blood in his mouth. Stathalmere falls to the ground, gaping wounds opening along his body, dealing 20 necrotic damage. Strathalmere, start making death saving throws. The other cultist gets out of bed and casts a spell, wreathing himself in unholy light.
Meanwhile, Lucial skulks down the long corridor to the east of room 3. As he travels the dark hallway, there is a wooden door to the north (leading to room 27). Beyond the wooden door, the hallway branches--one path leads north (towards 24) while the other continues east (towards 26).
[Kaburi, I don't know if you'll allow this, but I think it's high time I pulled some shenanigans in this game. If no, I'll retcon it into something more conventional.]
Reed turns to Emeryn as they move. "Gather the others."
He drops his cloak and throws the dead Cultist's cloak around his shoulders and grins. Keeping his head down and obscured, he peeks into the room to see Strathalmere down. He stumbles into the room and falls (as if fainting - face first) to the floor next to Strathalmere. The bloody cloak he wears tells the tale of whats happening. As he falls he mimics the voice of the cultist he just killed and groans out, "Brothers... to arms! Meet... the... others... at... the... spec... tator... cage..."
I have advantage on Performance and Deception checks to pass myself off as someone else.

Reed lands on Strathalmere and remains still.
[If you'll allow it, I cast Spare the Dying as I fall, with my landing on Kahedron as my 'touch', but I'll understand if I'm already trying to do too much in one turn.]
The unharmed cultist grabs two daggers from under her mattress and tosses one to the wounded cultist. "Are you good to fight, brother?" she asks her wounded comrade. "I'll be fine as long as the others go down as quickly as this one, sister" he replies. He cuts a strip from his bedsheet as an improvised bandage and together they leave.
They actually rolled decently on their WIS saves against the deception, but your rolls were unbeatable.
"Hey Iso, don't die! By the way, sending two enemies your way that one-shotted Kahedron. Have fun!"
I'll roll Stealth and check the entrance to room 27. I assume there's not a door there. If there is, let me know what I can learn by pressing my ear to it. If there isn't, then I stealthily approach it in such a way that any part of me that would be exposed to whom/whatever inside would be what's necessary for me to see inside.

"Hey Iso, don't die! By the way, sending two enemies your way that one-shotted Kahedron. Have fun!"
You went east from room 3. I sent them north from room 3. Also, I've been dying to try and trick some cultists into getting locked in the spectator's cage.
Was there a mechanism where I could slam the portcullis back down?

Emeryn hesistates, but yields to Reed's firm nod. She turns and heads back, flinging open the door to the dusty room where Paravrax consults with his toy. "We've got trouble, get out here," she commands, only making eye contact for a moment before she turns toward the kitchen. "Korvat, we'll need some more axing," she calls to him as she approaches, "and where's Luan gone?". Waiting for the others to join, she looks at the entrances to the south, wary of any additional enemies.
Does your panther do anything if you are down? Are the cultists just ignoring a huge cat?
Paravrax pockets the map and the journal, apologizes to Ger'Cath, picks him up and puts him in his harness, and rushes out the door to the aid of the others.
Korvat looks up from the pot of stew, which he has half-demolished, and acknowledge's Emeryn's shout. Wiping his mouth with the back of his arm, he picks up his axe and strolls back out into the training room.
(I assume I'll join the fight when these fanatics come out)

Reed waits a moment for the cultists to move down the hall. He shrugs off the bloody cloak and kneels next to Strathalmere's unconscious body.
"I don't have many of these left, friend." He reaches down and touches his chest as a soft glow covers the ranger's body.

After he's healed, Reed helps him to his feet. "Where did your kitty run off to? Collect him and let's go. If my performance wasn't quite so grand, that wouldn't have worked and we'd both be dead."
That was my grand save for the moment. I doubt my cage plan would work well, so if one of you fighty types who won't die to a single 'rot' would like to that the lead, have at it I've got one level 1 spell left before I have to start dipping back into the ring, and that would hurt our chances after we rest.
They came so close to seeing Lucial--one of them got a 19 on his perception. That could have been...bad. And it's not that they're ignoring the cat, it's that the cat got a freaking 28 on its stealth roll to enter the room. They probably could have seen him on the way out, but I decided to let that 28 stand because damn. Are we sure he's a panther and not a displacer beast?
With regards to the portcullis, it's a lever you can move with a DC 10 STR check. It's a 15 to raise, and a 10 to lower.
The cultists continue north, not noticing Lucial moving towards room 27. They're currently about halfway there.
@Lucial--There's a wooden door leading to room 27. You don't hear anything through the door, and it's not locked.
Does your panther do anything if you are down? Are the cultists just ignoring a huge cat?
It only acts on my turn when I order it to. For the next 2 levels If I want him to attack I need to give up mine to do so. As soon as I get Extra attack the pair of us can attack in the same round.
Also @ everyoe. Just checked the rules this morning for Critcals. You roll double the normal amount of dice and add the relevant bonus. Also if you do bonus damage like sneak attack and hunters mark that is Doubled as well.
@Kaburi: Since it is a compainion I add my proficiency bonus to its stealth rolls, attacks and quite a bit more. I also take it I have lost concentration on hunter's mark.

Lucial has entered Room 27. Congratulations!!! You've found an abandoned storage closet.
The shelves are mostly empty, having been looted long ago. A few empty chests, chipped ceramic bowls, moldering linens, and cobwebs are all that remain.
