fizz save

save: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Sounds good. Varis is among the conscious again.

Fizz (-7 HP, prone, dying, 0/1 death saves)
Varis (5/35 HP, prone, dropped weapon)
Haldor (-28)
Fergus (43/58 HP)
Thorn (-69)

Varis will Try stabilizing Fizz
Medicine: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Barely managed it but Fizz is no longer in danger of dying.

I don't think you have the movement to reach him as you start your turn prone.

My bad, then. This is what I will be doing next time then
Varis double moves to get to Fizz as well as planning to recollect his bow asap.

save: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Varis, I need you to move yourself on the map. Where do you want to be?

The only figure I can see and move on the map is Fergus

All players should have control of everyone's pog. You don't see Varis north of Fergus, up the hallway? Fergus is the only pog you can see?

Now I do. And moved

Varis struggles to his feet and makes his way down the hall, conserving his energy. Thorn then lashes out at the cleric once more!

Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 for Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

He then moves away again as a Bonus Action to Disengage so no AoO this time and runs toward the intersection and turns to the left toward the door he originally had came from and out of sight.

Fizz (-7 HP, prone, dying, 1/1 death saves)
Varis (5/35 HP, dropped weapon)
Haldor (-34)
Fergus (43/58 HP)
Thorn (-69)

Rick, do I need to do another death save as I have done two by accident already?

Just in case

save: 1d20 ⇒ 14

We'll keep both, that one will be for next turn though Varis will stabilize you with his roll, assuming he continues that action this turn. If that holds true then only Haldor and Fergus will have actions.

Fergus is double-moving. After entering the door, he will have another 20 feet of movement (which I will use once I can see inside the room).

Varis will complete his turn to stabilize Frizz.

Haldor will cast second-level Cure Wounds on Fizz.

Healing: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 7) + 4 = 18

Spell slots left:
1st Level 0/4; 2nd Level 1/3; 3rd Level 1/2; 4th Level 1/1

Haldor will then move up near the corner of the intersection but not quite make the corner.

Varis stabilizes Fizz while Haldor take the time to heal the fallen gnome. Fergus moves after the enemy.

Fizz (18 HP, prone)
Varis (5/35 HP, dropped weapon)
Haldor (-34)
Fergus (43/58 HP, completion of turn pending)
Thorn (-69)

Nope. Fergus backs out of the room and tries to quietly shut the door.

Pitch black in there. I can't see a thing, guys.

Fergus slowly backs away and closes the door. Nothing else seems to happen.

Fizz (18 HP, prone)
Varis (5/35 HP, dropped weapon)
Haldor (-34)
Fergus (43/58 HP, completion of turn pending)
Thorn (-69)

Fergus used his action to move into and out of the door, and decides to stay put.

So no actions this round, correct? You are just standing by the closed door?

Fizz (18 HP, prone)
Varis (5/35 HP, dropped weapon)
Haldor (-34)
Fergus (43/58 HP)
Thorn (-69)

Rick, I think he double moved to get there this round.

Already took my action to double-move because I didn't have enough movement to enter the room without double moving.

I may have jumped the gun, that all happened last turn. Thorn took his turn but you detected nothing had changed. All four of you may act now.

Fizz will stand up and find a "tossable" object and cast light upon it, then walk to the corner of the wall behind where Haldor is standing and tell Fergus that when he opens the door, Fizz will lob in his "tossable" object about 15 feet into the room.

The fortress seems cared for, at least enough, as no stones or pebbles are around like you would find in a natural cave or the like. You'd have to cast it on something the group is wearing or has in their possession.

How about a gold piece?

Sure, not sure how far one could accurately throw a coin but you can use whatever you want.

Fizz will light up a gold coin from his pouch and chunk it through the door that Fergus will open. I'll try and aim for the spot on the map in blue.

Fergus opens the door and then stands back out of the way. Fizz casts Light on the coin and chucks it into the room. The coin makes a noise as if it hit water, then moves to your right as if being taken by a current.

Since that had to be a somewhat coordinated effort I am going to rule that Fizz and Fergus have taken their actions. They can both finish any movement they may have (I'll say Fergus has used 10' of his move so far, Fizz is done).

Varis and Haldor may act.

Just checking with you guys again. BTW, the coin moved to your right on the map (as the player), not the PC themselves. The map should have lighting enabled now.

Well, lighting is sort of enabled on the room.

Haldor will move around the corner next to Fergus and Dodge.

Varis steps into the room and Dodges.

From out of the darkness comes three bolts toward the paladin!

With Advantage: 2d20 ⇒ (7, 17) = 24
With Advantage: 2d20 ⇒ (12, 2) = 14
With Advantage: 2d20 ⇒ (2, 11) = 13

With +10 all three hit.

Bolt: 1d6 + 4 - 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 - 3 + (4, 3) = 11
Bolt: 1d6 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 3 = 3
Bolt: 1d6 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 3 = 2

With darkvision you should be able to see Thorn, those of you without it might be able to see him in dim light.

Fizz (18 HP)
Varis (5/35 HP, dropped weapon)
Haldor (-34)
Fergus (27/58 HP)
Thorn (-69)

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
damage: 2d10 ⇒ (7, 3) = 10

Fergus, Haldor, Varis. He's about 50 feet south of the door.

Fizz will try to make himself inconspicuous, knowing he can't really hide.

Fizz strikes Thorn with a mysterious spell then tries to point out the location of the aggressor!

Fizz (18 HP)
Varis (5/35 HP, dropped weapon)
Haldor (-34)
Fergus (27/58 HP)
Thorn (-79)

Sorry, that was a firebolt.

Haldor steps into the room and casts Sacred Flame on that rat bastard Thorn.

2d8 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

Dex save 15

Dex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Haldor's spell catches to normally nimble Thorn off-guard!

Fizz (18 HP)
Varis (5/35 HP, dropped weapon)
Haldor (-34)
Fergus (27/58 HP)
Thorn (-88)

Varis run forward and engages with Thornshould have enough movement, but cannot see

fist: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
fist: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
as bonus
fist: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Likely Varis gets knocked out again but at least that should be taking care of his reaction, so no more riposte for him this round

Varis, i moved you over to him

Varis throws a flurry of punches, however his current condition prevents him from staying in form and the strikes seem wild and amateurish.

Thorn seems to find several openings during the series of punches however he also seems to have been taxed by the encounter. He is out of superiority dies so no riposte for you!

Fergus, go!

Okay, here's what I'd like to do. I'll let our wise DM decide how this works. Movement speed is 30.

Fergus still cannot see very well in the room but has a general idea of where Thorn is, from Fizzlebomb's comments and Varis's movement.

Fergus would like to enter the room, pick up the lighted coin, and move south with the coin until he can see Thorn. Then, to avoid being outlined with light, Fergus will drop the coin right there and finish moving south toward Thorn. If it's possible to do this and Dash, Fergus would cash in his action to Dash.

Fergus goes into the stream of water to pick up the coin but finds that the speed at which it moves is surprisingly fast!

Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Fergus manages to keep his balance and with effort manages to collect the coin before it can move further into the room. The paladin then proceeds toward the enemy!

Normally I'd allow all the actions, however picking up the coin from the "stream" was not a simple task. You'll need to use your action.

Thorn smiles as he drops one of his hand crossbows and draws his rapier again. Looking at Varis he laughs again. Come back for more, have ya?

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 for Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

And down goes Varis, again!

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 for Damage: 1d6 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 3 = 2

Fergus is struck by yet another bolt! Thorn then grabs his dropped hand crossbow and retreats further into the room.

Fizz uses his wand to strike Thorn with magic bolt goodness! Varis gets up and lumbers toward the enemy, though he is too slow to reach him.
