Poison Fort save DC 16 fail?

"I was hoping that, there would not be a fight."

Alkaid will grab one grapple: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
so she can throw him at the others next round.

The dwarf scowls, "Yer fools 'r loyal 'r both. May we bring glory t' me Laird this day, boy-os!"

He steps into the reach of the one that attacked him and takes a mighty swing.

Greatsword attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 Power attack, furious focus, vital strike

Damage: 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 2, 3, 6) + 12 = 29

Oh, if that hit, they're going to need a mop to bury him!

Broccan hurls his javelin at the gnoll who attacked him.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Alkaid throws the gnoll she has at the other gnolls.

atk(throw gnoll): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Don't know what to roll here?

Edrukk was missed by both attacks. Is he able to charge either of the shooters? If not, how far are they?

Alkaid tosses a gnoll up the hill at the archers, but a gnoll is an unwieldy weapon and hits a tree instead...

Edrukk is free to charge they are about 15 away up the hill...

Edrukk calmly heads up the hill, swinging his sword in wide arcs, grimly smiling. "Ah 'm not fer knowin' 'o paid he t' die t'day, but Ah 'ope ye 'ad yer affairs 'n order 'fore ye started shootin' 't me friends."

Attack the one on the right: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 No charge, they were within a move action.
Damage: 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 5) + 12 = 30

One Gnoll is dead another is lying in the brush somewhere after Alkaid tried to knock a tree over with him.

One archer finds himself face to face with an angry dwarf, he drops the bow and attempts to engage Edrukk!

@Edrukk
Melee masterwork spear 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Alkaid does an round house on a poor gnoll

atk(throw gnoll): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32
damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Broccan moves forward to engage the remaining gnolls.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Edrukk nods, "Nice try. Now yer dead."

Attack the one on the right: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Damage: 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 2) + 12 = 24

His attack comes through with so much force that the blade literally whistles through the air, causing the gnoll to flinch involuntarily, but it's enough to avoid the strike that surely would have ended him.

Edrukk smiles grimly again. "Good. Been t' long since Ah 'ad a good bit o' practice."

"This is a terrible waste of your lives Gnolls, flee now and we shall allow you to yet live..."

Kythel's words fall on deaf ears as the Gnolls had just decided that they were going to die or win this battle....

@Alkaid
Melee masterwork spear 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Continue to attack the one on the right: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Damage: 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 4) + 12 = 27

Immune: poison

Alkaid continues her kicking assault

atk(kick): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Are they still alive after those above assaults!

Combat over the Gnoll Hunters are defeated!!!

Each Gnoll has on him/her....
Possessions Masterwork longbow (3 str), 5 arrows poisoned with black adder venom, 15 arrows, masterwork spear, masterwork studded leather armor, 3 doses Venom Fort save DC 16 2d4 con damage

Carefully examining an arrow, the dwarf grunts, "Nasty stuff, that. Dishonest way t' be fightin', really."

Survival DC 14

Survival 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

"Let us take what we think we need from them, bury them quickly and keep moving. I will perform last rites".

"They've got nothin' fer me. Ah c'n carry fer some'un else if'n needed."

I don't need any of their gear, but I can haul if it someone else wants me to.

The sand gives way easily for burial, but a very large crocodile swims out of the river and comes toward the dead gnolls hissing all the way....

Knowledge nature DC 15

"Get yer prizes offa th' dead 'n let's get goin', folks. Big'un's 'ungry."

He steps between the salvagers and the crocodile, drawing his greatsword and readying an attack if it gets too close.

"Let th' big fellah 'njoy 'is meal in peace," Broccan suggests, grabbing his gear from the ship. "We got places t' be." He moves up the trail, giving the massive crocodile a wide berth.

Kythel quickly performs the last rites on the Gnolls and steps away from the large natural predator.

"I am ready to proceed".

"Good 'nuff fer me."

The dwarf backs away past the bodies, watching the reptile warily.

You hear a few bites a few loud swallows and the beast devouring the bodies....

Headed up the trail and into the wilderness?

"Before we continue, is anyone injured?"

Sounds like following the trail makes the most sense unless one of us has wilderness skills.

The path continually threatens to vanish completely in the thick leafy arms of the countless plants that press ever inward, only to reopen and widen enough to allow passage without much interference. Brambles and stinging spiny leaves are frequent, sticking to fabrics, and scraping armor, they bite exposed flesh with stinging needles and hooked thorns.
The path gradually eases out of the thick leafy growth, climbing up the side of a low hill. Bushes and plants become less common, and the ground becomes less muddy, offering a thick carpet of moss to walk on. Trees dot the hillside, their own trunks covered with fungus, and branches strewn with hanging moss.

Alongside the path is a clearly visible cave, in the side of the hill. A horrible odor of decay emanates from the interior.

Edrukk peers in with his darkvision for an obvious source of the odor.

Kythel turns to his companions and whispers, "I have an everburning torch. Shall I use it to light our way or are we worried about losing the element of surprise in this clearly hostile place?'

"'old th' thought, lad, b' 'ave 't near t' 'and."

I think you may be the only one that doesn't have darkvision. Who's our resident sneak? I know it's not the dwarf.

The source of the odor seems to be a large humanoid possibly an ogre that is dead and appears to have been for some time. The tunnel is crude little more than a cylinder into a half sphere....picture an igloo...

Alkaid can do the sneak,

"I'll check it out...."

Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

Alkaid sneaks in and is not surprised to see a giant sloth dangling from the ceiling, it was apparently this creature that killed the ogre in its own lair.....

"Bett'r 'er th'n me," Broccan says. "I rattle like'eh farrier shop in'eh windstorm." He gestures to his armor and array of weaponry.

Alkaid goes back to the group quietly

and whispers to them
"Looks like a giant sloth is in here and likely asleep.
So it's best that we be quiet."

Kythel whispers back, "Quiet I can do rather well".

So who is going into the lair?

Please roll for stealth....

Cast Guidance then,

Stealth 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

Kythel Manages to awaken the Forest Sloth!!!

DM Notes

Everyone Roll stealth and initiative!!
Kythel only needs to roll initiative

I don't do Stealth, I'm a dwarf.

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

+17 and I botch and my players complain about bad dice roller luck!

Round 1 Initiative 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
