GM Niles' 5E Experiment (Inactive)

Game Master nilesr

Close to dying... again _ i think I may be safer off as a turnip farmer

"Hey, wait!" Bec calls as he follows Andrei. "Wha' if that lil one follow us?" he says eyeing the passage they just walked in, preparing to attack any enemy from that direction.

"Hope you think this is funny too"

Cast sacred flame DC13 reflex or damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Round 2
Morgran casts a spell at the goblin and 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 the Goblin is burned, it squeals in pain its laughter ceasing.
Bec watches for incoming creatures, of which there are none.
Goblin snatches up another Javelin and hurls it at Morgran, spitting curses at the Dwarf Javelin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 but this javelin too is very inaccurate.
Andrei
Lyle

Round 3
Morgran
Bec
Goblin
Andrei
Lyle

Good guys go go go

Andrei scampers up the embankment that collapsed in front of him and takes cover, heavily bruised and battered.

I'm still waiting on Lyle, Morgran, and Bec. This is a 1/day posting game guys....

Sorry, swore I had posted.

After seeing how much things had collapsed, Lyle retreats back across the stream until the goblin is dealt with.

Chanting quickly, Lyle points over to Andrei, casting a healing charm.

Healing Word: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Thats twice you've aided me now. I won't forget

Why isn't anyone rolling perception checks!

Didn't know we had to...
Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Just checked the map... am I back at the dogs? The collapsing embankment pushed me right across everything?

I didn't draw that arrow I think Lyle made a mistake....you are where your token is...and no you didn't have to make a perception check. But why wouldn't you? Also, STILL waiting on Morgran and Bec.

Misread something. Lyle will move up the rubble past Andre and then cast healing word.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

well I know I started a post last night not sure what's up

Morgran chuckles as the goblin gets his backside singed. Hearing a commotion behind him as Andrei comes sliding back down he moves across the stream to assist them.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

acrobatics(aid): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

dot...that is all

Andrei climbs up the embankment again...
Lyle heals Andrei for 5 after going up the rubble to the West with him..

Round 3
Morgran crosses the stream to stand behind Andrei
Bec charges up the slope of the cavern, Torch in hand!He rounds the corner and raises a shout There's more of the bastards! And they are about to..
Goblin the four goblins working in concert to undam their little steam finally succeed and a wall of water washes down the river
Bec: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 is washed down the river and takes 1d6 ⇒ 1 damage. His torch is now useless, but he manages to hold onto his sword as he is dumped prone at the cavern entrance.
Morgran: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3Morgran: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 tries to dodge up the embankment of the river but slips, however he manages to grab hold of a rock and the water washes by him, leaving him standing!
Andrei: 1d20 ⇒ 12manages to stay out of the water entirely.
The goblin on the bridge is so busy laughing at Bec, he can't manage to hurl another javelin.
Andrei
Lyle

Round 4
Morgran
Bec
Goblin
Andrei
Lyle

Good guys are up; the entire area is plunged into darkness now since Bec's torch went out

From the cave entrance the big man bellows "That ain't funny!" he gets up and try to leave the water and find a dry torch in his pack. He isn't going inside again in the darkness, with the little devils outside reach.

"Guess they can't have that set up too many times."

Morgran sets his shield and draws his warhammer. Following Andrei and Lyle up the pathway to the goblin overwatch. His dark vision allowing him to move through the darkness.

Niles no access to PC so unable to mark map

Waiting on Lyle and Andrei

"Oh for the love of... BEC! Get the damn torch up here!" the irritable halfling decides to do his best to keep out of sight and tries to hide against the wall.

STealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Seeing Lyle trying to hide, Morgran will touch his shoulder as he moves in front of the halfling "Just me" he whispers.

Andrei, still taking cover, lights a torch.

"Yell all ye want. Yelling does not make fire!" the big man answer from the cave entrance, still fiddling with his yet bag of tolls, trying to find a dry torch.

Andrei takes cover and lights a Torch I'm guessing he stows his shield?
Lyle hides

Round 4
Morgran moves a few feet...
Bec stands up and grabs a torch, lighting it.
Goblin's all scamper around
Andrei
Lyle

Round 5
Morgran
Bec
Goblin
Andrei
Lyle

Good guys are up again

Andrei drops his torch for others to pick up and draws his shield back into place and moves 10 ft down the corridor careful for collapsing embankments.

Morgran moves up the embankment trying to reach the upper flats.

dex: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Looking to his right he sends another bit of flame at the approaching pesky goblin.

standard - cast sacred flame DC13 damage if failed: 1d8 ⇒ 1 what is it with 1d8's I think that is my 3rd '1' in a row

Niles, if I'm reading the map right Morgran can make it to the end of the second arrow (10' up the embankment and 15' more down the passage) Morgran's icon is half in the square at the bottom of the embankment, assuming he would start from that square.

Sacred Flame sucks as a spell - there is another level 1 spell that requires a to hit roll but does 4d6 dmg plus grants advantage

Guiding bolt, I have it but only 2 1st level spells per day/long rest; don't really want to waste it on a goblin guard. Sacred Flame is a cantrip, not great but with -1 on dex a decent ranged attack, and spammable when at a distance. - at least when Niles isn't using the dice roller ;)

Lyle rushes out of his hiding place and starts chanting as he points to Andrei.

"We're being embarrassed! Go forth and make your Goddess proud and strew the ground with the heads of these toothy bastards!"

Andrei gains bardic inspiration. A bonus d6 to any attack roll, skill check, or save of his choice in the next 10 minutes.

"I got it, I got it!" Bec yells from the cave entrance as he moves again to meet his fellow partners. It was time to smash some goblin heads!

Andrei moves up the corridor and looks around.

Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Andrei drops his torch which splutters but doesn't go out. He draws his shield and moves into the corridor. He sees a larger Goblin standing over an unconscious figure. Duncan that's you!
Lyle gives Andrei some inspiration and moves behind him.

Round 5
Morgran moves up and casts his spell 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 which the goblin resists.
Bec double moves as a rearguard!
Goblin
Purple skitters forward and attacks Morgran 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 hitting the Dwarf for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Red and Yellow move forward and engage Bec.
Purple and Green both draw their little shortbows and fire them at Bec, who is partially protected by the cave wall! They have disadvantage 2d20 ⇒ (18, 8) = 26 2d20 ⇒ (7, 20) = 27 with a +4 to attack and both arrows miss Bec!
Andrei
Lyle

Round 6
Morgran
Bec
Goblin
Andrei
Lyle

Make those Goblins pay heroes!

Hostage!

He leaves Morgram to polish off the goblin and moves into the room.

Action: Full defense

"Bec! Get up here, draw the goblins into the tunnel and you only have to deal with one at a time!" calls out Lyle.

Seeing the east and north passages blocked, Lyle simply waits to see how the goblins move and react.

HOlding.

"The little devils got bows!" Bec yells from the tunnel entrance, even if he fled, the goblins would be able to attack from afar, Lyle advice seemed a good one tho.

Atk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Bec attacks with his sword, while taking a step back, moving near the group.

Morgran sizes up the goblin in front of him before swinging the war hammer in a circle...

"Watch the birdie"

warhammer 1H: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
damage if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Dammit, hold still" he mutters as the goblin sidesteps the hammer.

Andrei moves to the cavern steps and adopts a defensive stance.
Lyle holds

Round 6
Morgran swings and misses
Bec swings and hits for 5, his movement allows the Goblins to have opportunity attacks 2d20 ⇒ (19, 14) = 33 one hits Bec for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Goblin
Red attacks Bec 1d20 ⇒ 18 hitting him for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Purple attacks Morgran 1d20 ⇒ 4 missing
The other goblins caper and laugh as Bec is wounded.
Andrei
Lyle

Round 7
Morgran
Bec
Goblin
Andrei
Lyle
Things are looking grim for the good guys...

Andrei attacks the great goblin 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 damage. He yells at the figure on the floor Get up, your freedom is at hand

Edit: Correction. I can't attack without drawing an AoO. I move up closer, still yelling at the unconcious figure and continue with a defensive stance.

@GM, ouch, that hurt. I wanted to take a 5ft step behind, but I'm not sure if that exists in 5ed. :(

He never believed that the little devils would be able to hurt him so. Dropping the torch and hopping it keeps burning, Bec takes out his shield. The little bugger would learn now. Keeping an eye out for attacks, Bec keeps ready to dodge any attack.

"Hey, little help here. Can't keep this up, the devils are eating me alive."

Move to take out the shield and Dodge to avoid attacks.

Remember to use your bardic inspiration Andrei.

"Damnit take advantage of the tunnels! Bec is getting overwhelmed. Everybody pull back so we can deal with the goblins as they come in and have each other's backs!"

Lyle steps southwards, yanking a dagger out of his boot before attempting to hurl it past Bec and into the red goblin.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

warhammer 1H: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 nice!
damage if hit: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6 -.-

Grunting in frustration, Morgran reverses his swing angling to catch the goblin from the side.

5' steps do not exist in 5E thank goodness. The ONLY time you provoke an AoO is leaving an enemies threat range. Moving within it, moving into it, casting spells, ranged attacks...none of those provoke. @Andrei, you could attack without an AoO since you aren't leaving the goblins threatened square.

Round 6
Morgran swings and misses
Bec swings and hits for 5, his movement allows the Goblins to have opportunity attacks one hits Bec for 4
Goblin
Red attacks Bec hitting him for 5
Purple attacks Morgran missing
The other goblins caper and laugh as Bec is wounded.
Andrei moves and engages the goblin, hitting it for 5 damage. It screams in pain!
Lyle hurls a dagger which sticks in red's throat, the goblin pitches forward dead.

Round 7
Morgran crushes Purple's skull.
Bec equips his shield and prepares for the worst.
Goblin
White (who looks to be some sort of leader) says Truce! Truce! We no want fight humans!
Andrei
Lyle

Combat delayed, unless you guys want to continue...in which case you get a free single action before I reroll initiative.

Lay down your weapons or die!, Andrei bellows at the leader.

Moving this over to the discussion board

Lyle grins as the goblin pitches forward, and then he hears the call for a truce.

"Allow me!" he shouts.

Lyle rushes towards the goblin leader, speaking rapidly.

"You call for truce we stop killing, but you put down weapons! You attacked a caravan and we have questions. Talk, no fight. I promise no killing if you put down weapons. I speak for big people. Understand?"

The Leader hesitates, not sure about this little human with the fast words

Humans still have weapons. Cragmaw keep weapons. Humans put weapons down, Cragmaw put weapons down.

Humans kill Klarg, Klarg make us attack humans on trail. Humans kill Klarg and Yeemik be boss. the goblin, ostensibly known as Yeemik, points to the far away tunnel.

I moved everyone closer in on the map.

Persuasion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"You surrendered," says Lyle reasonably. "We didn't all surrender. You lost, you drop your weapons, and then we talk. Maybe talk to Yeemik. We're looking for a dwarf named Gundren. You seen him?"

insight: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 of course I roll a 17 when I need a 4

"Lyle not sure what you two are discussing but these guys are NOT gonna give up their weapons"

"Don't be trusting them. The little devils will stab our back as soon they can." Bec whispers to the others, still focusing in defending the corridor, even if he isn't attacking anymore.

Yeemik not surrender! Yeemik want humans kill Klarg! Yeemik let humans take this one. Not know Human names! Will human kill Klarg! the goblin kicks Duncan roughly and he wakes up..

Duncan you are up!

Morgran take a look at the wounded if you could.
