Grmble thinks for a moment and readies herself to speak. bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

we don't have no not toads! she scrambles the words that sounded much better in her head.

"Kettlehead see toads. Now Kettlehead take."

He jumps down off the log, pulling his two minions with him, who you see now are leashed, with collars around their necks.

Ugh...this fight set up takes place in a "valley", so there are cliffs to either side of the path. I missed that when I wrote up my description of it.

Encounter Map

Kettlehead releases his grip on the two ropes holding his cohorts in place, and orders them to attack.

----------

The one who seems to be Rempty nocks an arrow in his makeshift bow and sends it hurtling through the air towards...

1d3 ⇒ 1 :: 1-Tak, 2-Grimble, 3-Chuffy

Rempty Randomness: 1d100 ⇒ 62

Ranged Atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The arrow goes high, sailing far above Tak's head.

----------

Chuffy hangs back. "Need big chomping teeth for this," he says, as he bares his yellowed teeth. "Chuffy make big bites in Pottlehead."

I'll wait for my initiative turn to see if everyone's positioning works for a spell. If they're all next to each other, I cast sleep.

Grimble frowns and holds up her own dogslicer. Grimble once liked kettlehead! But now he is mean, Grimble show kettlehead pain!
attack: 1d20 ⇒ 15

She dashed forward and charges Rempty, her blade out forward.
DMG: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Culgick Randomness: 1d100 ⇒ 20

Culgick rushes forward towards Tak, pointing and laughing.

"Kettlehead chop you up into big horse meat. You make tasty snack for big swamp horse."

Looks like not

Tak bares his weapon and teeth against Culgick.

Weapon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Teeth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Tak brings his mace down hard on the whelp who just charged him. Culgick's shoulder is smashed, leaving him howling in pain.

----------

End of Round 1

Round 2

Kettlehead rushes forward, swinging his dogslicer in a clumsy flourish. "Kettlehead take toads. You head stuck on pole in mud."

Dogslicer Atk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

----------

Rempty nocks another arrow, this time shooting at...

1d3 ⇒ 2 :: 1-Tak, 2-Grimble, 3-Chuffy

Ranged Atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Rempty cackles as the arrow embeds itself in Grimble's body. "Kettlehead! Look at the baby pin cushion!"

----------

Chuffy clonks Kettlehead with his sharpened rock...

Rock Atk: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Kettlehead looks down at the whelp. "Baby go back home before me tie you to log again."

Tak hits at Culgick again with a whack and a bite.

Weapon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
I don't see AC anywhere so I rolled for damage on both in case

I don't see AC anywhere so I rolled for damage on both in case

AC for Kettlehead and his minions are all 16

Grimble, aware of her plight curls up into a defensive ball, ready to take a hit or duck an arrow. full defence for the +4 to a.c. it grants.

Culgick Randomness (75%): 1d100 ⇒ 90

Culgick swings at Tak with a rusted shortsword, and swings wide, still laughing about the whelp being turned into horse meat.

Culgick Atk (AC 15): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

That would appear to be the end of the round. Are you guys able to see the map? Looks like Tak's sleep could take out Kettlehead and Culgick.

Round 3

Bring the dogslicer down on Chuffy’s head, cracking open the whelp's skull.

Dogslicer Atk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 3

So last round I never declared who Kettlehead attacked. I'll use Chuffy as the hp sponge for now.

----------

Rempty Randomness (75%): 1d100 ⇒ 42

"Kettlehead great toad warrior! You bash whelp good Kettlehead!"

----------

Chuffy swings his rock around viciously in a futile attempt to keep Kettlehead at bay. "Mean Kettlehead no hurt Chuffy!"

Rock Atk: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Grimble still fights defensively, and she swings at kettlehead. 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10+2instead of 4

Culgick Randomness (75%): 1d100 ⇒ 93

Culgick moves to finish off Chuffy, but instead bends down to pick up and hand Kettlehead the end of his leash. "You need so I don't run away."

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

I didn't cast a spell because I didn't want to trigger an AoO. Though wouldn't Culgick moving trigger one from me?

You can take a 5-foot step to get out of his reach, and then cast. I really should have dropped one of these goblins, with only 3 of you...

I didn't think of that.

Tak takes a step backwards and casts a spell to put Culgick and Kettlehead to sleep (DC 14).

Kettlehead continues slashing at Chuffy. "No tie to log. You skull hang from tree."

Dogslicer Atk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Chuffy shrieks, ducking below the dogslicer heading for his neck.

---------

Rempty Randomness (25%): 1d100 ⇒ 52

Rempty lobs an arrow towards Chuffy, hoping to take the whelp out.

Ranged Atk (AC 15): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1

The arrow protrudes from Chuffy's chest, and he slumps over.

Grimble swings at her combatant again, still fighting to keep uninjured. 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

Kettlehead Will Save (DC 14): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

Kettlehead feels the magical slumber coming over him and rages. "No! You no bad magic Kettlehead. Magic pot stop you."

Tapping the kettle on his head, he steps forward to slash at Tak.

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1 --> 2 hp

----------

Rempty Randomness (75%): 1d100 ⇒ 19

Rempty drops the bow, and runs forward to Kettlehead. "Great job your Kettleness! I love the way you yelled and then slashed at him. It was also great when you tapped your magical helmet. I think I see it glowing..." The whelp reaches up like he's going to take it...

Kettlehead turns on the whelp and runs him through with the dogslicer. "No touch magic helmet."

Grimble hears the word magic and immediately cries in anger.Dipl/bluff-whichever is needed: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

NO FAIR! Magic is cheating, we no have magic, so you no need it too!
She then makes a shot for kettlehead's head called shot, head Called shot: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Did the spell hit Culgick?

Tak lashes out at Kettlehead once more with a stab and a bite.
