Ouch, boss. That was a critical! I might be down...

Crit damage for kobold for the DM: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Vax grunts at the deep gouge in his side, turning a pale shade before dropping to a knee. He whispers a prayer...

healing word: 1d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 3 = 9

Then he turns and swings on the little creature!

Mace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Using inspiration: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Ammon, seeing one of his comrades drop to his knees, tosses another dart of hellfire at the enemy.

Will aim for the human

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Ras moves to the human and attacks.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
and bonus action:
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Damn, Ras! Nice hits!

Vax in his righteous fury kills the beastie with his mace. Ammon hellfire hits the Dragonclaw human and then Ras moves in hits him once. The second blow from Ras slays the human. The remaining Kobolds not being creatures of Valor run for their lives. Kobold(2) dashes off. As the group moves to pursue they discover the door is heavily damaged. Knowing this door is what keeps the Raiders out is of importance. What do you want to do?

Meri inspects the door, "I will go back and report about the damage to the door. You go on ahead without me."

I decided I will bow out of this game. It's not really my playstyle. You guys have fun!

Sorry to hear that, Meri. Your bow and blades will be missed. This is a little slow for me too, but I am going to stick it out.

Vax, slipping the mace-strap into the clip at his belt, says, "Ammon, if you would?" Indicating the running kobold, he turns to Meri.

"Meri, go back to the mayor and inform him of the door. Get the materiel and experts to replace or repair it. We will guard this area until it can be repaired."

Having a pretty good passive Insight... The old soldier puts his hand on her shoulder, as if he senses her intent not to return to the group, "Your help has been appreciated. I hope you find what you are looking for."

Meri sorry to hear you leave. I know the game has been slow as far posting. The Encounters in the first session of HTDQ can be a little frustrating. Before I post anymore, I want to know beyond Vax who is going stick around. I know that my job (Army) gets in the way sometime. It is my intention to run this entire adventure path. To include the Rise of Tiamat. If guys would like me to move away from the Adventure League Rules and make this a regular "home" game I can.

I will still play!

Ammon lobs another bolt of hellfire at the fleeing kobold.

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 7

Ras will pursue and attack, if he can.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

I will continue to play, but prefer to keep it in line with AL

Can Ammon use his previous roll since we killed the kobold and the cultist before he could act? I think that one would have hit.

I am with Rasym, I would rather keep to the AL rules.

Keeping it AL ! Yes the Ammon Roll hits

Meri runs to get help from the Keep. The group may take a short rest to regain HP. I will post again on Friday!

Hope everyone had a good weekend !
Short Rest effects have taken effect. Spell slots hit dice etc
The group realizes that the gates stands open as long it not repaired. Miri has gone off to get help, other raiders could come in while they wait. There are several barrels that could be used as barricade if the group decides to use it.
Tell me what you guys want to do, if you decide to use the barricade make a STR DC 10 roll for each barrel total of 3.

"Barrels. We could use them..." Vax mumbles to himself.

The old soldier moves over and tries to move them, rolling one along its bottom edge.

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

Whew! I was holding my breath!

Seeing Vax work, Ras lends him a hand to help with the next one.

Strength check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Ammon moves over to assist in moving the barrels as well

Strength check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Rasym, you can assist without rolling, and give the other person advantage. We only have one more to go... ^_^

I will count the barrels moved.
The barrels are in place as Vax notices movement from outside the broken gate. Two Kobolds and 1 Raider appear. Vax lets the group know thus giving you guys surprise. Everyone make an attack then I will roll for INT.

Ammon targets the raider with his hellbolt.

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Vax, turning to quietly let the others know, coordinates the others to attack simultaneously.

Since we have surprise, do we have advantage? If I cast sacred flame would my target get disadvantage (on his save) for being surprised?

Ooo...yeah...if we do, I will roll again for my attack, but will wait until everyone is ready.

advantage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Oop, forgot to roll damage!

Vax makes sure that they allow them close enough so that we can close to melee range quickly after our initial strike...

Sacred flame on a kobold (radiant, Save DC 13): 1d8 ⇒ 6

Are they coming to us? If Ras wants to get into melee, does he need to move out? He would stay and otherwise wait for them to approach and just use his reaction.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Reaction Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Ras, do you have any ranged weapons? Remember that thrown weapons can use your strength bonus to hit and damage! If Vax knows that you have thrown weapons, he would wait until they were as close as possible without giving up the advantage. If we get the advantage it would cancel out the disadvantage for long range too.

Then he uses his javelin, totally forgot about that. So no reaction, only first roll, and then with advantage:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Yes you all have advantage if want to reroll do so. Also Ras can either move up to engage in melee he can. It would only be a 10 feet move.

He would rather throw a javelin, then be ready with quarterstaff to get them in melee, if they come

The Hellfire bolt kills the Raider. Ras javlin attack kills the Kobold and the Vax's sacred flame 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 strike the remaining Kobold in the face. Then a group of guards come running down with a man. I am here to fix the gate. He says to the group. Vax and other make their way back to keep. As you enter the room the Governor asks Are you available for another task?
I need for you guys to check what xp you have. I believe you may have enough to level. Also did we lose Eless?.

How many xp do we have now?

We have 70 as of the last time we received XP. I tried messaging Elessandra, but haven't heard back.

I have 70xp as well...though after all we have done I think we are dure some more :-)

So, where are we at, boss?

So every one has enough xp to level. Go ahead and level we will move on from there. Also on a note I am not posting as much because of the job. That's going to be life for the next 8 weeks. After that I will be home and back to posting everyday. And will be on the same time clock as most of you.

WooHoo..new level!!

Ok, will level the character, but since it is AL, can we get the total when you get a chance? And no worries, I was just checking in because it had been a few days. Thanks!

Vax, wiping his forehead from the sweat, asks the Mayor, "We did what we could, would you happen to have a suit of chain mail or splint mail? I could pay you something for the chain, but I doubt I have enough in coin to afford the splint mail."

I forgot to upload the 2nd lvl version of Vax. I will try to remember to upload it and update the link to lvl 2 Vax this weekend. Not a lot changed. I got 7 more hp and Channel Divinity 1x/day. Looking to trade up to heavy armor, and hopefully get Heavy Armor Master at 4th.

sorry...work have been very busy this week...I will level Ammon up this weekend!

lvl 2 update complete!

Ok, I think I got it all updated..added invocations (cool!!) and increased HP and gained an extra spell slot...think that was all...next level will be awesome though!

Ras, you still around?

Yes, but RL is crazy, will update over the next days

Ok, no worries, seems like it is crazy for everyone! This is going to be tough with the three of us! I wonder if DM Ashman might want to open recruiting after his 8 weeks, when he can post more often... ^_^
