(5e) DL1: Dragons of Despair (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

If we block them, or knock them over, that could give Rael a breather, or an extra chance to keep ahead of them without dashing.

Wis: 1d20 ⇒ 4
3d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 4) = 9

Urgo moves the cart without a problem.

Rael in a clever use of his illusions manages to get a group of nine chasing after him. Dashing to catch up.

Rael gain an inspiration.

complication group 1 (Rael) : 1d20 ⇒ 9 An overzealous hobgoblin guard attempts to intercept you. Swinging his longsword as you go by 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Rael expertly ducks the swing and continues on his path.

complication group 2 (Others): 1d20 ⇒ 5 The muudy group beneath your feet is slippery with rain and mud. Make a DC 10 Dexterity save or fall prone.

DEX save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Hoping the slick mud will slow down her pursuers, Larissa takes the opportunity to try and go for cover.
Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Wow. I am nothing if not consistent, eh? :)

Dex Save: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Urgo, in a feat of uncommon grace for him, slides across the field until he hits the next patch of grass that grants him a little more traction!

Biting her lip in frustration, Moondancer watches as her friends lead the pursuers away. She wanted to follow and do what she could to protect them, but the blue crystal staff in her hand represented a more pressing duty.

"Fly like White Osprey, my friends," she whispered, before making her way through the muddy alleys toward Theros Ironfeld's smithy.

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Bel watches as Urgo pushes the cart in the way of their pursuers. Grunting he slows and looks to the others.
"I will meet you at the smithy when I can, but do not wait. I can track you!"

With that, the minotaur turns, paws the ground once, then twice and charges, head down at the goblins trying to stop you.

Goring Rush: When you use the Dash action during your turn, you can make a melee attack with your horns as a bonus action.
Hammering Horns: When you use the Attack action during your turn to make a melee attack, you can attempt to shove a creature with your horns as a bonus action. You cannot use this shove attempt to knock a creature prone.

Attack Goring Rush: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage (horns): 1d10 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 5 = 17

Shove the hobgoblin out of my way and keep on running in the opposite direction from the others.

Rael takes a group with him.

Larissa and Moon-Dancer are successfully hidden.

Bel makes a successful attack going through the throng of pursuers. The will catch up and attack Bel if they don't slip.

Urgo manages to make it further down the street.

Hobgoblin dex save 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 The hobgoblins miss and are out of the chase.

Draconian dex save 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 the draconians split and one heads towards Urgo the other after Bel.

You are down to two pursuers.

If there is a barrel, or some other large heavy object, Urgo picks it up and heaves it at the draconian chasing him!

Strength check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Bummers.

After getting past the hobgoblin Rael dashes down the alley dodging around some crates and then turns a corner and leaps over a low fence and ducks low hoping the group will just run right by.

Move 30ft, then another Dash action to put some space between me and my pursuers for a total of 60ft this round.

Then cunning action to hide as a bonus action.
Stealth : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Free Dashes Used: 3/4

Is it just the one Draconian coming after Bel?

One left after Bel and Urgo, everyone else is successfully out of the chase.

Quickly turning, Bel whips out his swords and attacks the pursuing draconian.

Attack-melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Attack-melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Urgo, still smarting from his injuries, slows to a jog, then turns drawing his blade. One on one, this is an honorable fight...

Giving a salute to his enemy, he quietly says, "Est suralas oth mithas..."

initiative: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (20) - 4 = 16

Greatsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11

Are you F*ing kidding me?

Rael makes his way to the Smithy by a round about route, stealthily darting down alleyways and crossing the rooftops occasionally when he has to.

Stealth : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Athletics : 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

As he gets close he climbs up onto a nearby rooftop to look over the area for enemies and hopefully to watch his friends arrive.

Perception : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

: O Wow... I found some good rolls..

Nice job, Rael! ^_^

Rael you can see Urgo combating a Draconian by himself as well as Rael about 120 apart two streets over.

Urgo misses with his attack. The Draconian responds in kind with an attack and then a bite.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Same attacks on Bel.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Urgo grunts as the draconian tears flesh, blood streaming from his wounds. Now at 6 hp.

Shoving the lizard man back, and trying to hide his shock and horror having never seen such a beast in his life, the half-ogre swings his heavy blade in a powerful arc!

Greatsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9

Grimacing in dismay as he slips to a knee, he urges himself on (using Action Surge) to stand again and continue his momentum to lop the creature's head off!

Greatsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4) + 3 = 9
Great Weapon style, re-rolling the 2: 1d6 ⇒ 1
New total is 8 damage.

Bel continues his assault on the draconian, striking twice more with his swords

Attack-melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Attack-melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Awww...crap...I was hoping I had got past all these crappy rolls!!

I feel ya, brother!

Urgo manages to push past the dragon hide and cuts into the draconian.
(8 damage)

The draconian breathes in deep and exhales a poison cloud.
1d12 ⇒ 2 let's go with Con 13 for half.

Bel is met once again with the sting of steel and the gnashing of teeth.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Sorry if anyone goes down but I did warn you that this was meant solely to be a chase scene to avoid the draconians/hobgoblin

Con save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Understood, but the rigidity of the character makes it hard to turn away from a one-on-one challenge. Since everyone has split up, and Urgo no longer has the staff, the only ones that I see pulling Urgo out of this one are Rael or Bel, unless I pull off a great roll next round... Here goes nothing!

Greatsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9
Great Weapon fighting style re-roll the 1: 1d6 ⇒ 3

11 damage!

Current HP: 15/25

Again the Minotaur hunter slashes at the dragon-born beast.

Attack-melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Attack-melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Urgo connects with a devastating hit (19 damage)
The draconian grimmacing from the open gashes brings the flamberge sword to bear with both hands and attempts to hit Urgo on top of the head.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Bel gores the Draconian (7 damage) who will forgo his attack with a sword in an attempt to bite down on the back of the neck of the Bovine-like beast.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Boss, it was 11 damage. Great Weapon fighter only lets me re-roll 1s and 2s. It becomes 3+5+3 for 11 damage. :p And thank the gods that he missed!

EDIT:Never mind, I see, you are keeping track of total damage. ;p

EDIT 2: Next round, Urgo turns, dropping the blade low. Then in a flash, brings it up in a vicious upward swing!

Greatsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9
Re-roll 1: 1d6 ⇒ 4

That would bring damage up to 12. I hope that hits! *fingers crossed*

Roaring in pain and anger, Bel shakes the creature off him and continues to stab at the beast with sword and horns.

Attack-melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Attack-Melee (horns): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

In a final blow, Urgo dispatches the Draconian severing the top of his head from the rest. Instead of dropping his body starts convulsing violently, then it erupts in an explosion of acid. DEX DC 12 for half 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5) = 16

Bel lands a blow with his weapon (12 damage)
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Dex Save: 1d20 ⇒ 7

I am confused as to why you would start us up against Kapaks? Just trying to change it up? Baaz would have been my choice, but hey. That's just me. ;p

Urgo throws his arm up to shield his face as he is bathed in acid. He drops to a knee, them over onto his face.

At 0 hp.

Rael watches the two fights his head looking back and forth with indecision, his shortbow half drawn.

Then he sees the draconian fighting Urgo go down, he's half turned to go help Bel when he notices Urgo slumping in a spray of some liquid and he springs into action.

GM: I'm 120ft away from Urgo, right? It would take me two rounds to reach him? A third round to give him a healing potion?

Current HP 4/25

Feeling his strength slipping away, Bel strikes a final time at his foe in hopes of dropping him and escaping to join the others.

Attack-melee: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Attack-melee (horns): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Nice hits Bel! Woo hoo, Rael to the rescue! ^_^ I just am laughing at the image of the draconian turning to stone and trapping Bel's horn! XD

Yes, Rael that is correct.

And with a final blow and a gore the draconian does indeed turn to stone trapped on Bel's horns. STR DC 12 or fall prone to the ground, grappled.

Death save 1: 1d20 ⇒ 10 Success 1!

Death save 2: 1d20 ⇒ 16 Success 2!

Death save 3: 1d20 ⇒ 13 Stable!

Assuming that Rael gets to me and administers the potion...

Urgo coughs up a little of the potion and groans, "What nightmare is this? These creatures kill even as they die..."

Looking up at Rael, he gives a weak smile of gratitude, "But I beat him! Is Bel okay? I saw him fighting another of those vicious creatures. Then we should catch up to the others..."

" Yes, we should go check on him. I'm glad you're ok! " Rael says. He grabs Urgos hand to help him up and stumbles over as he tries. " Come on let's go! "

Potion for Urgo : 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8

HP updated!

"Thanks, little buddy. Let's go!"

Urgo and Rael make their way to Bel...

Well, what I would like to try, if it is possible, is to have Bel toss his head and dislodge the draconian from his horn and send it flying into the distance...not sure if that is possible or no, or what I would need to roll to achieve it!!

It would be amazing, but his body turned to stone immediately after he died, so it would probably require an insane Strength check! >.<

Give me strength DC 18

Strength check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

WooHooo!!! or is that MOOO!!! Finally catch a break with this dice roller!!!

Urgo stops as the approach and mutters, "Whoa... Bel, that was AMAAZING! But... we should go. These creatures are like something out of a nightmare. Let's catch up to Larissa and Moon!"

Assuming everyone meets at the blacksmith shop. We will pick the scene up outside the shop in an alley.

Yes, I believe that we are moving to meet up with the others. Larissa and Moon-dancer have been out of the action for a while.

Urgo looks beat to heck, acid has pitting the metal pieces of his armor. He smiles wearily at Larissa and Moon-dancer, "We ran into these draconians. I pray we do not run into them again..."

Huffing and puffing, Bel runs up along side of the others.

"Well I hope not to have to fight one of those creatures again!"

"Oh boys, what have you gotten yourselves into," Moond-Dancer says as Bel, Urgo and Rael appear. Seeing Urgo's injuries, she rushes to him, clutching the staff.

Charisma check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

She then breaks out her healer's kit, applying salves and doing what she can to soothe his wounds.

Medicine check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Larissa gives a look that seems to combine concern with stern disapproval. "This is why subtlety is a thing," she says. Nodding in the direction of the smithy, she adds, "Whenever you're ready."

"I'm sorry," the half-ogre grins sheepishly, "I'm not built to run."

Bel is pretty injured as well! Maybe we can short rest in the blacksmiths?

Rael stands between Bel and Urgo looking tiny by comparison and glancing over his shoulder and up and down the street.
" Let's get inside, out of sight. "

"Sounds good! Those little lizards pack a powerful punch. Some rest would be good!", the bloodied Minotaur agrees.

You enter into the shop and it appears to have been ransacked. The smithy turns around with a hammer in hand ready to strike then looks astonished to see your group, Oh, it's you lot, was that you who caused all that commotion.

"Sorry Theros. It seems that they are looking for this staff that I was given. You wouldn't happen to know anything about it, would you?" Urgo shrugs helplessly, "These plainsmen gave it to me and bade me return it to its rightful owner. They couldn't give me any more information than that. Then, an old man in the Inn told me that we needed to take it to Xak Tsaroth, without me telling him a thing about it! It's all so confusing..."

Larissa listens intently for his reply.
