Game Master bookrat

The door to the right opens and a small pot comes flying out, smashing against the far wall.

A fragrant scent from the pot comes rolling out, filling up the hallway.

Adrian, Clyde, Ember, Ragnar, and Shoo: make a DC 10 Con Save or gain two levels of exhaustion for 1d4+1 rounds (roll for your number of rounds).

A bolt comes flying out of the room to the right, before the door is shut again.

Thug 2 Attack vs Clyde: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 211d10 ⇒ 6

It slams into Clyde, dealing 6 piercing damage.

The thug at the top of the stairs fires his crossbow at Adrian, and he moves back afterwards.

Thug 4 attack vs Adrian: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 121d10 ⇒ 8

The bolt misses, impaling the wall.

A bright blue beam comes from the room upstairs, aiming at Adrian.

Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d8 ⇒ 1

It hits, Adrian takes 1 cold damage and his speed is reduced by 10 for one round.

Just then, a command is yelled from the top of the stairs, and two axebeak come charging down!

They both attack Adrian, as he's the first they encounter. As they attack, one jumps off the stairs and keeps going (OA attack for Adrian).

Axebeak 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Axebeak 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 141d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

One hits, and Adrian takes 8 slashing damage.

Clyde curses as the bolt strikes his shoulder and coughs as the smoke invades his lungs.

Alright, rules of combat. Rule 1: Know your surroundings. No time to scout. Rule 2: Know your enemy. Also no. Rule 3: Have the advantage in numbers. We're doomed. This is a suicide mission. I should run.

Clyde looks forward to see Adrian being attacked by two large bird creatures. Close closes his eyes for just a moment. He then springs forward, darting to Adrian's side.

What are you doing!? We are all going to die here.

Shut up

"Alright you psychopaths, if we die this day, we die proudly! Stand beside me! " Clyde barks as he spins his longsword and swipes twice at the beast to Adrian's left.

Longsword: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (4) = 12

Round 4, Lay on Hands

Sir Adrian lays hands upon himself, healing 15 points of damage.

While were waiting on posts, let's do a small recap:

The time is 1pm, and our hearty heroes are infiltrating the headquarters of the Breathe of the Yellow Rose - an organization believed to be conning nobles , lead by Thylius Caramitru (someone known to try to take the easy way out of everything).

Their mission is to rescue Liticia Gos and bring her back to her family, whether she wants to or not.

They decided to do a full frontal assault on the compound in the middle of the day with no or minimal scouting, fully announcing their presence. This tactic lead to everyone in the compound d being aware of the assault and they've started taking measure to defend themselves.

So far, one Guard is dead and two Guards are asleep. Their leader (the Spy NPC) ran into the building and jumped into the first room on the right, slamming the door behind him.

While he was in there, someone opened the door and a second person was revealed. That person fired a heavy crossbow at Clyde while the Spy threw out a clay bottle that causes drowsiness. They shut the door behind them.

From the upstairs, there are at least two more individuals, another Thug who fired a heavy crossbow from the top of the stairs and then retreated back, and an unseen individual who seeks to have command of several birds. Two of the Large birds (known as Axebeaks) have charged in - both have been slain. That individual also has magic, as he fired a Ray of Frost while upstairs. So far, only Adrian has seen him.

Round 4

Ragnar runs up to the beast and kills it.

Adrian heals himself.

The dead bodies are difficult terrain

Map updated. There are now two maps posted. Also, I just discovered my map program has a fog of war feature. Yay!

Ember runs in after the others to stand next to Clyde, she holds her right hand aloft, flames erupting in her palm. She watches the two side doors ready to throw flames at any enemies who might appear.

Move to the square below Clyde.
Action Ready to throw Produce Flame at any enemies coming from the side doors.

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Fire Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 What does Ember know about Axebeaks, even though they are deceased...

Round 4

Botting Louis.

Louis Starts to tie up the first of the sleeping guards.

Ember moves up to Clyde and has a ball of fire readied to strike.

The side door behind the party, where the spy fled, opens up and a head peeks out, only to get a blast of fire from Ember.

They're on the stairs! his voice calls out.

The spy comes out and attacks Ember (disadvantage due to Clyde's reaction).

Spy Attack 1 dis vs Ember: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 141d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Spy Attack 2 vs Ember: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Despite Clyde's protection,the short sword stabs into Ember twice, dealing 10 piercing damage.

The spy then back away (bonus action disengage) into the side room.

A thug appears in the same doorway next and fires a bolt past Ember into Clyde (this is the same guy who fired a bolt into Clyde earlier).

Thug2 attack vs Clyde: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 211d10 ⇒ 8

The bolt lands solid into him, dealing 8 piercing damage.

Another Thug from upstairs leans over the balcony and fires down onto the stairs at Ragnar.

Thug 4 attack vs Ragnar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 131d10 ⇒ 2

The bolt slams into the wall next to him. The Thug then moves away from the balcony.

The feathered knight then appears at the top of the stairs, tears in his eyes at the knowledge of his slain birds, and fires down a ray of frost at Ragnar.

FK Frost vs Ragnar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d8 ⇒ 1

The Ray of Frost hits and deals 1 cold damage, and reduces Ragnar's speed by 10 for 1 round. He then moves back towards a door at the end of the hall on the second floor.

Short update:

Guard 3 is now sleeping, restrained, and incapacitated.

The second bolt pierces through Clyde's armor. A scrunch of bone is heard and blood sprays out from the hole in the armor. Clyde goes weak in the knees for a moment, but catches himself. He whispers to Adrian, "You two press forward." He cast his eyes at Ragnar. "This whoreson is mine."

Clyde moves down the stairs and puts his back to the wall, half to hide, and half to brace his limp body. He looks down and produces a small locket from under his red scarf. He clenches it tightly and closes his eyes. For a moment, everything is calm. For a moment, Clyde can no longer hear the sounds of battle. Then his eyes open, ready. He spins his longsword into a reverse grip, and waits... dares... that door to open once more.

Bonus action Second Wind. Readying attack when the door opens. I'm standing in the square beneath the door.

Second Wind: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Readied Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (10) + 5 + (3) = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

-Ember!

Shoo steps back a bit, enough to see Ember, and praises to his Lord, curing some of the damage she just received. He then goes back up and enters the hall, trying to decide what to do.

Will cast Healing Word as a Bonus Action on Ember, then go up to the second floor. If possible, will attack any enemy on melee or cast Sacred Flame.

Healing Word: 1d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 3 = 7

Potential Melee Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Dmg if successful: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Clyde - this time the door was left open, and you can see in (and they can see out).

There's a thug just inside of the room by the door. A nobleman with a longsword and no armor right next to him. As you move closer to the door, you can see the spy about 10-15' into the room, and two more nobles further inside.

One of the young nobles says, Teacher, they're coming! He looks to be in his late teens.

The thug replies, I know. Remember you're training. The Yellow Breath will prevail. It is obvious the "thug" is their teacher.

map updated

If the door is open, Clyde will swing at the thug instead of readying.

"Helm's third testicle! The sick bastards have kids in here!"

Clyde steps back from the door with his shield raised. "What in the nine hells are you waiting for? Run! I'll cover you!", he barks at the students.

Persuasion: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Shouldn't most of these bastards be half starved lol
"Ember, Adrian, back Clyde up!" Ragnar barks as he makes his way up the stairs. He shifts his axe into one hand, pulls a javelin with his other, and launches it at the chicken knight.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Round 4

Clyde advances on the T2 (the teacher) and strikes, landing a solid blow.

Shoo moves to heal Ember.

End of round 4.

Round 5

The teen noble looks at Clyde in confusion. Run? What do you take us for? Fools?! I'm not running from you jerks!

He moves out into the hallway, circling behind Clyde for an attack.

Correction from earlier - these nobles all have rapiers, not longswords. None of them are wearing armor. They are dressed in clothing one would wear for meditation.

Orym attack vs Clyde: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

His sword clinks off Clyde's armor.

Another young man moves next to Orym. He also attacks Clyde.

Elred Attack vs Clyde: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

The rapier's direction changes as it slides off Clyde's shield.

A young woman steps out next to Elred, and attacks Ember.

Arye attack vs Ember: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d9 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Her sword sticks into Ember for 6 piercing damage.

Ragnar throws the spear up the stairs at the Feathered Knight, and sticks into the wall behind him.

Round 5, Bless 5/10, GWF

Adrian moves down next to Ember and attacks Arye.

GS Att: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
GS Dam: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 10

Ember flashes Shoo a smile as her wounds knit together, seeping a little blood.

Reaction: Shield spell As the young woman steps in stabbing with her rapier Ember spins her hand in a circle in front of her, " Védelem! " she exclaims as a blue shimmering see through shield appears to block the attack.

So I took 10, Shoo healed me for 7, then I Block the next attack with a shield spell, leaving me on 11hp

AC: 17 until the start of my next turn. (Which is now really...)

Round 5

Furious, Embers eyes flash brightly as she begins to chant waving her hand before spreading her fingers towards her enemies.
" lángoló " she screams as flames erupt from her hands washing over the students and hopefully T2? While curling around Clyde, leaving him unharmed.

Action: Burning Hands
All enemies in a 15ft cone take 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 5) = 12 Dex Save DC 13 for half damage.
I'm using sculpt spell to exclude Clyde. He auto saves and takes no damage.

Round 5

Adrian moves down and attacks, and just barely misses the young noble.

Posting Ember's action while waiting for Louis.

Ember sprays a blast of fire that whirls around Clyde while hitting all three students.

Louis quickly ties up the other guard too, and tosses or kicks their weapons away. He's a bit in a hurry to get to the others so he won't be spending more than a round on it.

Round 5

Louis ties up the last sleeping guards and makes his way towards the building.

The Spy darts in and attacks Clyde, then darts back out. (Action attack, bonus action disengage).

Spy Attack 1 vs Clyde: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Sneak attack: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Spy Attack 2 vs Clyde: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 141d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The first attack hits hard, but the second dings off Clyde's shield. Clyde takes 10 piercing damage.

Thug 1 comes in from a back room. This is the same guy Ember's Hawk saw earlier smoking by the back shed. He's finnsly made it to the building and through the back room, and he attacks Ember. Thug gains advantage on attacks due to Pack Tactics, Arye is threatening Ember.

Thug 1 Attack 1 Adv vs Ember: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 141d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Thug 1 Attack 2 Adv vs Ember: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 131d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

He hits Ember twice with his Mace, dealing 11 bludgeoning damage. Unless someone is able to change the damage, Ember falls unconscious and needs to start making death saves.

Thug 2 attack Clyde with his Mace. Thug 2 gains advantage on attacks due to Pack Tactics; Elred is threatening Clyde

Thug 2 Attack 1 Adv vs Clyde: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Thug 2 Attack 2 Adv vs Clyde: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Both attacks hit, for a total of 13 damage.

Unless someone is able to change the damage, Clyde goes unconscious and automatically takes 1 death save fail for the second attack.

Thug 4 moves to attack Ragnar with his Mace.

Thug 4 Attack 1 vs Ragnar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
CRIT: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The feathered knight steps in with his spear, attacking Ragnar twice.

FK attack 1 vs Ragnar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Clyde curses Ragnar with his dying breath.

Clyde falls in a heap on the ground.

Death Save: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Lol and it ends like it began. Clyde is dead. Ragnar gets experience for my defeat.

-Fools!

Shoo faces the younglings while reaching for his holy symbol.

-You don't know what you're into! Run! Flee, while you're in time! Curse you!

When he notices Ember and Clyde are on the ground, though, he changes his mind and tries a desperate praise to save them.

Using his Channel Divinity feature, Shoo heals a total of 10 hp. Now, if he is 100% sure Clyde is beyond any help, all 10 points will be going to Ember. If he doesn't know, he'll probably take Clyde for wounded instead of dead, and will probably split the healing between he and Ember.

Ragnar drops his battleaxe and draws his greatsword, then slashes at the chickenknight.
Attack + Bless: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (15) + (3) + 5 = 23
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11

Wis+Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

So all 10 points will go to Ember

Realising Clyde is beyond help, Shoo sheds a tear while focusing his channeling on Ember. He knows the entrance hasn't been the most amicable one, but...

supposing Ember is still conscious after the students turns.

Remembering the blows of a mace Ember gingerly stands, feeling her wounds heal she knows Shoo must have saved her again. Ducking and weaving she tries to make it to the door, noticing Clyde's prone form she cries out " Shoo, Clyde! Clyde is... "

Action: Disengage
Standing costs half movement, leaving me 15 ft. Ember will move to the dead G1's spot.

Round 5.

Clyde dies.

Shoo uses divine power to heal Ember. Ember is revived.

Round 6

Ember's Familiar screams out in pain and horror as she falls, and comes flying in from the front door and lands on Orym's head.

Orym yells in surprise and runs out of the building, trying to dientangle the bird from his hair. Orym is out of the fight, but you can no longer receive scouting reports from your familiar this battle.

Arye turns to see Shoo and Ember both in front of her, a mix of pride in dropping Clyde and fear for who's left, but her resolve still stands. She attacks Ember.

Arye vs ber: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

But her fear overrides her resolve and she misses.

Elred engages Adrian.

Elred vs Adrian: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Adrian gets pierced with a a rapier and takes 5 damage.

Ragnar finally lands a solid blow against the Feathered Knight, dealing 11 damage.

Round 6, Bless 6/10, GWF

Adrian again attacks Arye.

GS Att: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
GS Dam: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 4) + 3 = 13

Just realized that I dealt 10 damage, not 11 to the feathered knight. Forgot that my greatsword damage is only +5 with Str and Rage lol

Round 6

Adrian can't catch a break!

Typically, superior height provides an advantage in combat, but the stairs have messed up Adrian's footwork as he again misses Arye.

Botting Louis; it's been over 36 hours since his last post. I'm guessing he has a short sword; info not in profile and there's no link to character sheet on profile.

Louis moves into the building and strikes Arye.

Louis vs Arye: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Arye falls to the floor from Louis' blade. Louis, decide whether you kill her or knock her out. Either way, she's out of the battle.

Ember runs towards Clyde, squeezing past her enemies' grasp.

The spy darts in to attack Adrian and then darts back out. (bonus action disengage).

Spy attack 1 vs Adrian: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Sneak attack: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Spy attack 2 vs Adrian: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The Spy's sword hits hard, twice, dealing a total of 18 piercing damage.

Thug 1 moves to attack AELS: 1d4 ⇒ 1 Adrian. There is an ally threatening Adrian; Pack Tactics grants him advantage.

Thug 1 attack 1 vs Adrian, Adv: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Thug 1 attack 2 vs Adrian, Adv: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

CRIT: 1d6 ⇒ 2

The thug lands a solid blows on Adrian, dealing 6 bludgeoning damage and dropping him unconscious.

The thug's second attack (the CRIT) goes to AS: 1d2 ⇒ 1 Adrian, causes two death save failures. Adrian, please roll a death save on your next turn.

Thug 2 steps up next to AEL: 1d3 ⇒ 2 Ember, and attacks twice with his mace. There is no ally threatening Ember, so he does not get advantage

Thug 2 attack 1 vs Ember: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Thug 2 attack 2 vs Ember: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Ember, despite her grief, manages to avoid both attacks.

Thug 4 attacks Ragnar at the top of the stairs. He has an ally threatening Ragnar, so he gets advantage .

Thug 4 attack 1 vs Ragnar, adv: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 61d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Thug 4 attack 2 vs Ragnar, adv: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Nothing he can do seems to be good enough for the indomitable Ragnar!

The feathered Knight takes a disengage action and moves back through the door at the end of the hallway.

I guess I'm engaged by T1. If I am, I will attack him, since I can't see who else is threatening me. If I am not, since I appear in both maps (and then I am not sure where I am), I will try to get to T4 and finish him (avoiding the other enemy that threatens Ragnar, which I can't see in the map).

Attack vs T1 or T4: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Dng if successful: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Ember drops her staff screaming as flames erupt in both her hands, she raises her hands above her head and hurls fire at the thug in front of her.
" Get away from him! "

Produce Flame V T2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Inspiration: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Fire damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

I guess I'm engaged by T1. If I am, I will attack him, since I can't see who else is threatening me. If I am not, since I appear in both maps (and then I am not sure where I am), I will try to get to T4 and finish him (avoiding the other enemy that threatens Ragnar, which I can't see in the map).

Both maps show the stairs. Floor 1 map shows the entire starcase, while Floor 2 map shows half the staircase. That's why T1 is cut off from Floor 2 map. And it's why you appear in both.

T1 is right next to you. So you can attack him.

T4 is right next to Ragnar at the top of the stairs. Ragnar is also on both maps, but his image is hidden by the dead Axebeak.

The othet guy who threatened Ragnar was the Feathered Knight, and he moved back out of the room through the set of doors at the top of the map on Floor 2.

Death Save: 1d20 ⇒ 16

2 Failures, 1 Success

[dice=Death Save]1d20

2 Failures, 1 Success

Please be aware that any healing or a DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check will make it so Adrian doesn't have to make any more death checks.

For planning purposes: timer since last update ~11 hours. Next update will be ~13 hours from now unless both Ragnar and Louis post before then.

Doing a Medicine check to stabilise Adrian... would it provoke? And if so, would being hit interrupt the action?

No and no. As far as I can tell, only movement provokes an OA, except some special abilities that describe otherwise. If this were a home game, I might call for disadvantage on the check; but it's AL so let's just roll with it. I reserve the right to make a different decision in the future.

Standard check, no disadvantage.

Ragnar, pissed that the chicken knight fled, the spy took down another of his allies, and this assault isn't going as smoothly as he imagined, takes out his rage on the poor thug next to him.
Attack + Bless: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (10) + (2) + 5 = 17
Attack Recklessly + Bless: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (15) + (1) + 5 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 6) + 5 = 16
Advantage on attacks against Ragnar until my next turn, 6/10 Rounds of rage. If the thug goes down, Ragnar will head downstairs, as close to the door as he can get, going for that damn spy next.

I'm about to go to sleep, so in case gameplay advances a lot, Shoo will try to stabilise Adrian.

Realising he can't let Adrian bleed to death, Shoo tears a stripe of cloth and tries to quickly staunch the wound.

Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

No problem! Just waiting on Louis. Still have another ~5 hours before I update again.

Round 6

Shoo spends a moment to stabilize Adrian. Adrian - no more death saves. You're alive, but unconscious.

Round 7

Elred attacks Louis, him being the only target available.

Elred attack vs Louis: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

But Louis easily dodges the failed attack.

Ragnar lays into Thug 4, cleaving into him for a might 16 damage!

Adrian is tended to.

Round 7

Botting Louis. I feel there has been more than enough time for him to post, and game has been delayed long enough.

I don't normally use limited resources when Botting someone, but I think if I don't bad things will happen. As best as I can tell, Louis has 1 spell slot left over (since he's not tracking his spent spells like I requested, I had to go back through all his posts to determine this.)

Louis casts Sleep, targeting T2, the Spy, and Elred.

Sleep HP: 5d8 ⇒ (8, 3, 6, 7, 5) = 29

The nobleman and the spy fall to the ground, asleep.

Ember, being true to her name, spouts a flick of fire, nicking the teacher (Thug 2).

Thug 1 attacks Shoo. No allies threatening Shoo, so no pack tactics

T1 attack 1 vs shoo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

T1 attack 2 vs Shoo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The first attack misses, but the second lands true. Shoo takes 5 bludgeoning damage.

Thug 2, the nobles' teacher, takes the disengage actions and flees. Seeing his students fall, he fears for his own life.

Thug 4, upstairs, attacks Ragnar. No ally is threatening Ragnar, therefore no pack tactics

T2 attack 1 vs Ragnar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

T2 attack 2 vs Ragnar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Ragnar get clipped for 2 piercing damage (resistance accounted for). He easily dodges the second attack.

Map updated.

Ragnar strikes back at the thug.
Attack + Bless: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + (4) + 5 = 11
Attack Recklessly + Bless: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (9) + (4) + 5 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 = 8
7/10 rounds of rage, advantage on attacks against Ragnar until the begining of my next turn.
