And Ammon once again sends fire to burn the rats
Attack-ranged:
Damage:
As the Radiant light burns into the swarms. The first swarm rushes to Vax. The swarm moves into his space and starts to bit him. The second swarm moves to the swarm Ras.
As the rats approach, Ras seizes the moment to strike at them (opportunity Attack)
.
Then tries to dispers them
.
.
Ammon fires another hellbolt at the advancing rats.
Attack-ranged:
Damage:
Meri looks at her weapon hesitantly, then shrugs and fires a shot into the advancing swarm.
The shot from Miri passes through the Swarm, it injures a few.
Urran reaches into his pack and pulls his flask of oil. He throws two of them at the rats . The flasks hits it targets and gets both swarms wet. Before he throws he tells Vax to back up some. As Vax does the oil lands on the Rats. Ammon hellbolt misses the rats but his the wall causing a fire on the rats. . The rat swarms run to the river.
As the rats leave the group is able to make it to the gate. Even with the key the gate lock is stuck.
"Whew, well, that was terrifying,"[b] Vax says with a grim smile, [b]"Quick thinking, Urran. Thanks!"
After finding that the lock is stuck, Vax turns to the group, "I don't suppose that anyone else has any more oil? Or maybe has some locksmith's tools?"
"It is a relief that someone had fire at their disposal. Well done, Urran and Ammon."
Elessa is quite congenial about the whole thing but admits that she does not have anything that will loosen the gate.
"I will certainly help if I am able to though, and I'm not getting in the way of the more competent."
Ras gives it a try - and then adds: "I think we should try it together."
Urran pulls out a hammer, piton and a crowbar. Then hands the crowbar to the two larger humans, then proceeds to start chipping at the filth crusting the hinges.
As the door rattles the noise loud. If you keep it up will draw attention of the raiders.
"That's making too much noise, Ras is right, we should pull it together."
Meri inspects the lock: "Looks busted, but I can at least try picking it."
After Urran and Meri clean up the lock a bit, Vax takes Urran's crowbar and sets it in the lock arm.
"Bah-...er, Ilmater's scarred back, I can't get any leverage. Ras, perhaps you should take a turn," the ex-soldier hands Urran's crowbar to the big warrior.
Elessa casts guidance on Ras before he tries his luck with the crowbar, allowing the Light of Lathander to rest on his shoulders.
And Ras tries again, looking first for a good angle to put the crowbar, and then after a short prayer to Kelemvor, tries again.
Advantage
Ras struggles with the lock and the gate eventually breaks. There is a loud crack and the gate hinge falls making huge noise. Time goes by a couple of heartbeats what does the group do?
Meris curses, and slips past the open gate "Let's not waste any time, there might be more raiders here soon."
"Yes, lets get out of here...if they do come at least we will not all be stuck like those rats in the sewer!"
As Meri pushes past the those who have not moved yet. She and Ammon go out the gate about 15 feet. What does the rest of the group do ?
"We probably made our presence well known...." Ras adds, and follows carefully out, keeping an eye on the surrounding area and a potential ambush.
Vax steps out, and if he does not see any foes about, he sets to picking up the fallen gate and setting it in place to at least make it look like nothing is amiss.
Then, unslinging his shield and drawing his mace once more, he sets to task.
"Let us find any survivors and get them to safety."
Elessa nods. "Let's move swiftly, then."
As everyone exits the tunnel and heads around to the town, Urran collects his tools and tries to rig a quick trap on the door with twine and a spike.
As the group moves down next the river. The group is ambushed by two cultist and 4 kobolds. The group is now out in the open next the stream.
Urran leaps between the legs of the larger humans in the front line, attempting to place himself in the midst of the kobolds using ranged attacks. He strikes out at one, failing to draw blood, but certainly drawing attention.
Meri dodges the Kobold's shot and responds with an Arrow
Blocking aside the two swipes from the cultist, Vax swings hard at the man's (assuming it's a man?) weapon shoulder!
Elessa grimaces at the blow against Ammon, but otherwise holds her own and attempts to conjure sacred flame with her staff once again against the closest cultist.
Dex DC 13 or suffer sacred damage.
Feeling the shock of the arrow striking him, Ammon targets the creature who dared to strike at him and sends a bolt of hellfire towards it.
Attack-ranged:
Damage:
Meri kills the Kobold next to her (k3). Urran amazing ability at the rapier once again comes into play killing (k4). Vax wounds the Cultist hurting him badly but not enough to kill him. Ammon hellfire misses his target. Eless sacred flame does not hit the villain. Ras seeing all of this action is ready to jump and do justice!
With this Ras tries to take out Cultist 1.
Kobold (1) attempts to flee to get more help dash as he does he provokes an attack from Vax. The remaining Cultist says Run and get our brethren. I will hold them here. He attempts to slash at Vax, but misses the Cleric. Once again Meri is ready for action !
"Oh no, you'll stay with us!" Meri shouts as she sends an arrow after the running Kobold
Vax lifts his shield to knock the cultist's attack wide, a smile creeping on his face as he sees his opening... "Urran, the cultist is mine, kill the other kobold! Don't let him run too!"
Urran hearing the prompt from Vax swings at the Kobold (K2). Meanwhile Merri's arrow flies true and slays the beastie before he can get help. Vax gripping his weapon waits with lust..
