Dinkerdink |
When his companions move off the road Dinkerdink waves his hands and points behind the elk. At the spot he points a loud cat roar eminates.
Dink casts minor illusion and makes an illusory sound hoping to scare the elk away.

The movement and loud noises causes the elk to lower their heads, ready to aggressively spring forward. They appear to be spooked.
Marcus & Glyph may act.
The elk are about 20ft from the archway. Ts'kaliss is the only one close to them having run past them towards the noise, though he is still about 10ft from the elk.
Glyph Harny |
The Elk are in position to charge watch out!
Glyph begins to cast attempting to calm the animals.
Glyph cast sleep on the Elk targeted between the two Elk
Hit dice affected: 5d8 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 7, 5) = 25

As Marcus and Glyph act, you can see one of the two smaller elk fall over asleep from Glyph's magic. The other staggers a bit but shakes its head and seems to have avoided the spell.
The large alpha elk charges at Grimm, lashing out with its horns.
Elk Alpha Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Grim manages to step aside as the elk nearly crashes into the stone archway.
The dwarves may act!
Grimm Warhammer |
Sorry for the delay...slow internet!
Seeing the elk just barely miss him as it charges past, Grimm swiftly turns and moves further off the path, using the crumbling wall and gate as a barrier between him and the enraged beasts.
So Grimm will try and make it to the relative safety of the wall and gate, but will not turn his back on the elk...just in case he does not make it in time!!

The other elk attack Tis'kaliss and Ragnanon as Ragnaganon defends.
Elk 1 Hooves Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Weapon Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 bludgeoning damage

Ragnaganon Strength Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Tis'kaliss is caught offguard expecting the horns, but the creature rears upa nd comes down striking him. Ragnaganon is bowled over with the blow, and now the elk stands over him making a guttural noise.
Tis'kaliss, Dinkerdink, Arda, Marcus, and Glyph may act
Dinkerdink |
I hate doing this to such a noble creature," Dink thinks as he throws his hand axe at the elk standing overTis'kaliss.
The hand axe strikes true, finding its target. An instant later it re-materializes in Dinkerdink's hand.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Marcus Covell |
Round 3
Marcus moves in quickly and attacks the Elk standing over Rags.
I will get it off of ya, Rags.
Rapier Att: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Rapier Dam: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
Arda Skitterstone |
Arda rushes up to assist Tis'kaliss. (unless the layout makes more sense to assist someone else or they are too far away)
She swings her scimitar at the elk -
Scimitar attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Scimitar damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
"Terrible beasts! You'll find we don't die so easily!" She takes a quick moment to look over the others who suffered the brunt of the elk charge. "You all still standing alright? Warn us before we have to carry your carcass around!" she says with a wink.
hiiamtom |
I screwed up!
One of the elk fell asleep by Glyph's spell, and as such could not attack Tis'kaliss. Tis'kaliss took no damage and is not engaged. If you agree with any target changes I make, let me know.
Dinkerdink's handaxe and Marcus' rapier bring down the elk looming over Ragnaganon, even giving Marcus enough time to offer a hand to the dwarf.
Arda runs to Grim's aide Arda's scimitar glancing off the creature's thick hide. Meanwhile, Glyph launches a bolt of flame at the elk searing its side as the bolt lands true.
Tis'kaliss wheels around to help with the massive alpha elk.
Tis'kaliss Scimitar Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Tis'kaliss Offhand Scimitar Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Scimitar Damage: 1d6 + 2d8 ⇒ (3) + (5, 1) = 9
His first strike unable to deal damage he lands the second blade into the creature's flank and imbues it with the power of the divine causing the creature to cry out in pain.
The cries of some creature in the forest grow more intense, along with the yipping noise of another creature.

Marcus moves in quickly on the largest of the Elk, still standing.

Rapier Dam: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13

Somehow my last posted got cut strangely, but I was having internet issues Friday.
The large elk retaliates against Tis'kaliss.
Elk Alpha Hooves: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Hooves Damage: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 6, 1, 8) + 4 = 26 bludgeoning damage
Everyone may act, Marcus and Dinkerdink already have. Grimm, Ragnagannon, Tis'kaliss, Arda, and Glyph need to submit actions.
Arda Skitterstone |
Seeing the large elk's hit on Tis'kaliss, Arda tries to get to him and heal him without being struck by flying blades and elk attacks.
"That beast's not finishing you off, Tisk. Now kill that ugly critter!"
2nd level Cure Wounds: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 4) + 2 = 14
That is she casts this if she can manage to get to him and cast a touch spell on him in the midst of all this.
Tis'kaliss |
Tis'kaliss strikes out with a flurry of blows. His first attack is actually decent, but on the second one he stumbles on a loose pebble on the road. If the first attack connects, a flare of light runs over the elk.
Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Smite (if hit): 2d8 ⇒ (8, 8) = 16
Off-hand: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Dinkerdink's axe found purchase, striking the creature in the head and drawing its attention as Marcus' rapier plunged deep into the beast's hindquarters.
Bucking wildly, Glyph's fire bolt strikes a tree leaving a scorch mark and Grimm's hammer swings through where the elk was.
Meanwhile, Arda sees to Tis'kaliss' injuries giving him the energy to strike the neck of the beast slicing through the sinew and bone and taking the massive head clean off through the power of his divine might. The elk immediately slumps to the ground.
The new silence highlights that the growling and yipping from deeper in the forest that is still intense as the brief skirmish with the elk comes to an end... at least one of the elk could be spared.

Tis'kaliss charges deeper into the woods along the path. Everyone is free to act.
hiiamtom |
Marcus and Tis'kaliss move forward a couple hundred yards and see the source of the growls and yips. Two six-legged, large, black cats are fighting a small pack of dogs that seems to occasionally disappear and reappear nearby. The cats are attempting to swat the quick moving dogs with long, spiked tendrils sprouting from their backs.
They are so focused on their melee on your path that they don't seem to notice the onlookers.
Tis'kaliss |
Intelligence: 1d20 ⇒ 7 Tis'kaliss wracks his brains for what these things are before deciding which side to take. He has no idea, and so resigns himself to bad decisions, and heals himself a little before running in. He also uses his divine sense to see what these beings are
Spending 10 points of lay on hands to heal up to full hit points. Using divine sense to see if these are celestials, fiends, or undead.
Marcus Covell |
Marcus, yells back over his shoulder to the others.
Move up! We have something!
Marcus draws his rapier and advances towards the outskirts of the melee.
Are we close enough to engage the dogs on the fringes this round?
Glyph Harny |
Glyph hurries after his companions realizing he was too far away to see the source of the noises and stops when he has enough of a visual to make an analysis.
hiiamtom |
Crap. I didn't realize it'd been a week. I'll decide for Tis'kaliss.
As Tis'kaliss heals himself Marcus leaps into the fray.
Panther? Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
- Marcus
- Glyph
- Grimm
- Ragnaganon
- Tis'kaliss
- Dinkerdink
- Arda
- Panther?
- Dog?
Marcus, you are close enough to reach any of these creatures - same with Tis'kaliss. They are fighting each other hard enough that you don't need stealth to have gotten close.
Rounds before the group catches up: 3
We'll move forward once more when Marcus makes his action for this round.
Marcus Covell |
Round 1
Marcus moves in on one of the Panthers and stabs at its shoulder blade with his Rapier.

Disadvantage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
The strike at first hits nothing, penetrating an illusion only to hit a different place on the creature revealing it to be a few feet from the illusion. It howls in pain from Marcus' rapier.
The dogs seeing the advantage swarm on the injured panther around Marcus.
Three Dog Bites: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 6, 2) + 3 = 13
The panthers respond by lashing out with the tentacles on its back.

Marcus, if you use your reaction to active Defensive duelist you can prevent the attack without burning a superiority die.
Marcus, Tis'kaliss, and the dogs continue to attack the panther. The panther looks heavily injured, but still manages to attack with its tentacles.
Panther Tentacle Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 -> Hits Tis'kaliss

Panther Tentacle Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 -> Misses Marcus
