Kip's Lost Mine of Phandelver

Game Master Kip84

Iago cries out in pain as the arrow drives into his leg. He asks his God one last time for assistance and golden light bathes both himself and the rogue Rothwillian

Use Channel Divinity- Preserve Life to heal 6hp on Roth and 4hp on himself

Felicia looks to the goblin at the back of the room Gobbo #3 and mutters a quick word, all while gripping her crystal.

As her spell manifests and the threads of eldritch might snake their way into his ears, she speaks into the mind of goblin 4.

This is not the path of the proper goblin. You act like a pile of dung, the gods of your people will eat your eyes for snacks and wear your skin as a loincloth if you do not stand down!

Casting Tasha's Hideous Laughter on Goblin 3. DC13 WIS save or fall prone and be incapacitated for 1 minute

Arvhil moves forward to strike at the wolf, hoping to take it down quickly so he can move to help the others.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Roth groans as he's cut, then lets out a sound of excitement as his wounds close! "Remind me to thank your god, Iago!" He stabs at the goblin again!
Rapier STAB!: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 3 = 17 for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 damage!

Hey guys I've made some changes on the enemy tokens so you can now see their HP bar and take it as a representation of how tired/wounded an enemy is.

Ràghnall sends an arrow smashing into the wolf's temple as it attacks Arvhil. The wolf slumps to the floor twitching as it dies.

The golden light of Amaunator washes over Iago and Rothwillian, healing some of their wounds as the cleric channels the power of his god.

Gripping her crystal Felicia casts a spell muttering a quick word.
Goblin 3 Wis save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
The goblin's face suddenly cracks into a sudden insane smile and it begins to laugh, laughing so hard it collapses to the floor giggling madly.

Rothwillian stabs out at the goblin in front of him that isn't cackling madly on the floor (Goblin 4). The rapier slides straight through the goblins patchy leather armour into its chest. The goblin begins struggling for breath as blood oozes from the wound.

Arvhil I'm really sorry, yesterday when I glanced at Ràghnall's post I thought he'd missed the wolf but today when I checked properly I saw 13 hit. I would have posted a quick post to say the wolf was dead had I realised. Please post another action.

Initiative: Round 4

Bugbear/Drow 

PCs <-------------------------- 

Hobgoblins/goblins

Not a problem...would I be able to change places with Felicia? There does not look like any room to move past her at this point.

Iago decides to end the threat from one of their flanks. He steps through the door into the room following the original bugbear and brings down the fire of his god on the unholy beast

Spell save DC13 or Sacred Flame damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

[ooc]@Kip- Could you tell me what the red-haired token inside this eastern room is?

Arvhil I'll allow it as long as that's ok with Felicia.

Iago Sorry for the confusion but I was trying to resolve Arvhil's round four action before moving on with the enemy turns and then round 5.

All good with Felicia. :)

Arvhil slides past Felicia, swinging his flail, smashing into the nearest goblins face. The goblin crumples to the ground.

----

The Hobgoblin continues his assault on Iago, while the goblin archers fire at whoever they manage to draw a bead on in the confusion.

Hobgoblin V Iago: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Goblin Archer 1 V Ràghnall AC19 : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Peircing damage : 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Ràghnall takes 6 damage, please roll a Con Saving throw DC10 to continue concentration on your Hunters Mark spell.

Goblin Archer 2 V Felicia AC17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Goblin Archer 3 V Iago Ac22: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Iago blocks another sword blow with his shield, arrows flash past, one glancing off Ràghnall's arm.

----

In the other room a goblin steps over his fallen comrade to attack Arvhil with his large meat cleaver, the other continues to attack Rothwillian, while the third laughs uncontrollably, rolling on stone floor.

Gob 2 V Arvhil: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

Gob 4 V Rothwillian: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13

Arvhil blocks the meat cleaver with his shield while Rothwillian is able to nimbly dodge to the side of the goblins large meat tenderiser.

Goblin 3 Wis save V Felicia THL: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

----

At this point the Bugbear looms back into the doorway looking positively haggard and dragging the limp, unconscious form of a dwarf in front of himself, a dagger at the dwarf's throat. You instantly recognise the dwarf as Gundren.

" Surrender! Or dwarf gets it! " the Bugbear yells in Common.

Initiative: Round 5

Bugbear/Drow 

PCs <-------------------------- 

Hobgoblins/goblins

CON Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Ràghnall focuses past the pain and keeps his concentration.

Ràghnall moves his hunter's mark to the Bugbear and carefully fires an arrow through the doorway.

"Let this one hit hard." he thinks to himself.

Hunter's Mark

Longbow Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Longbow Damage (Favored Enemy): 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + (6) = 13

Back to hell with you, vile creature! I burned the flesh from the useless excuse for a leader the Cragmaw had before, and now I'll do it again! Felicia's voice rises in a cold fury as she flings a finger at the bugbear, letting her eldritch fury streak out at him.

Eldritch Blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The bugbear tries to plunge his dagger into Gundren's neck as Ràghnall's arrow flies from the bow.

King Grol takes his readied action to attack Gundren if he's attacked. Because Gundren is unconscious King Grol gets advantage and if he hits it's an auto critical.
Bugbear V Gundren: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Bugbear V Gundren advantage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Piercing Damage : 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

The dagger plunges into Gundren's neck as Ràghnall's arrow plunges into the Bugbear's eye.

Gundren slips to the floor, blood pumping from the wound and the Bugbear falls backwards thudding to the floor.

Glancing at the dwarf and seeing the blood spurting from the wound you can tell he has a mere handful of seconds before death takes him.

Gundren: 2/3 Death Save failures.

----

@Felicia, you may change your action completely or use your attack to kill a goblin near Rothwillian or Arvhil.

"Iago, can you help Gundren? I'll cover you."

Spare the Dying should stabilize him.

Ràghnall moves his mark to the hobgoblin that's been giving Iago grief and draws one of his short swords.

"Gundren!" Iago cries out seeing the dastardly King Grol slay the dwarf. Their friend and benefactor and the purpose of their difficult quest drops before his eyes!

Iago has no choice but to turn his attention to the dwarf and hope that he could still defend from the Hobgoblin's attacks. The cleric briefly focuses his mind, turns and touches the dwarf's forehead, using Amaunator's gift to stabilise him. A golden aura briefly envelopes Gundren and the trauma on his face visibly eases.

Casts Spare the Dying

With Iago hitting him with spare the dying, Felicia will instead launch her Eldritch magics at the goblin nearest Iago (if she can see it enough to attack).

The Hobgoblin, or Goblin Blue 1?

hobgoblin

Felicia scores the Hobgoblin with a blast of Eldritch energy that burns his lower face and neck as Iago manages to duck backwards reaching the fallen Gundren with a lifesaving prayer to Amaunator.

Still to act in Round 5: Rothwillian and Arvhil.

Initiative: Round 5

Bugbear/Drow 

PCs <-------------------------- 

Hobgoblins/goblins

Arvhil again swings at the goblin before him.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Arvhil spins his flail through the air, connecting with the goblins chest. The leather breastplate cracks and the goblins chest collapses and he falls to the floor struggling for one last breath as the life leaves his body.

Rothwillian feints right and then slashes his rapier straight through a goblins heart, ripping the blade back out and letting the goblin fall to the floor.

Roth V Goblin 4: 1d20 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 3 = 22
Piercing damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

----

The Hobgoblin recovers from the Eldritch blast to the face and, holding his shield high slashes his longsword down at Iago while the cleric tends to Gundren. Luckily the Iago's armour protects him from most of the damage.

Hobgoblin V Iago: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The Goblin archers fire into the small room again at Felicia, Ràghnall and Iago, their arrows ricochet off the falls skittering to the floor.

Goblin Archer 1 V Felicia AC17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Goblin Archer 2 V Ràghnall AC19: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Goblin Archer 3 V 22: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

The goblin giggling madly on the floor before Rothwillian gasps for air, trying to regain control.

Goblin 3 Wisdom Save V Felicia THL Dc13: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4


Initiative: Round 6
Drow 

PCs <-------------------------- 

Hobgoblins/goblins 


Iago is mightily angered by the Hobgoblin's cowardly attack on him. He draws himself up to his full height and raising his shield as a battering ram he charges the Hobgoblin intending to push him back on his goblin allies. His rallying cry echoes throughout the ruins, Bel Akaman!

I'll use the Shove Action to try to push the Hobgoblin back hoping for a domino effect. STR Athletics Contest. Go dice Go!

Shove vs Hobgoblin. STR Athletics Contest: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Use your Inspiration Team!

Roth lets out a triumphant HA! as the goblin falls, then turns and looks at the madly giggling one. Feeling something a little amiss about stabbing a cackling foe who cannot defend itself, he instead grabs his bow and moves up behind Iago.

Felicia lets out a screech as Iago shoves the hobgoblin. Letting loose a furious torrent of eldritch energy, she wills the force of the blast to help blast the hobgoblin back into his friends.

Inspired Eldritch Blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Eldritch Blast Crit: 1d10 ⇒ 9

Post Rolls: 19 total damage

Is goblin 3 in the room dead? If so, Arvhil will move through the room to come at the other monsters from the rear...if possible

Goblin 3 is under the effects of a spell, giggling madly to itself on the floor. It is "incapacitated" and can't take actions or reactions so Arvhil can step around it and head through the other door to flank the goblin archers.

Great..thanks!

Ràghnall slashes at the Hobgoblin with his short sword. (Assuming he's still alive, otherwise moving the mark and attack to the next closest goblinoid.)

Hunter's Mark

Short Sword Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 2 = 17
Short Sword Damage (Favored Enemy): 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + (4) = 11

Giving the hobgoblin advantage because of the goblins behind him.
Hobgoblin Str Athletics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Hobgoblin Str Ath adv: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

The Hobgoblin and Iago crash together, shields first. Jostling and straining Iago tryies to push the goblins back to open up some space for his comrades. The hobgoblin holds his ground, braced by the goblin behind him.

Rothwillian picks up his bow and rather than attack a helpless foe dashes back into the small room behind Iago.

Suddenly Felicia lets out a screech and a furious torrent of Eldritch energy rushes over Iago's shoulder and smashes into the hobgoblin, the energy vaporising the Hobgoblin's head and left shoulder and spinning what's left of his body to the floor!

Ràghnall leaps forward into the gap plunging his short sword through the lead archer's poorly made leather armour, piercing the heart! He rips the blade out and the goblin slumps to the floor as Ràghnall ducks back around the corner.

Arvhil leaps over the giggling goblin and charges around to the other door to flank the archers

----

One of the goblins growls and dropping his bow, he draws his sword and leaps at Arvhil, Arvhil deflects the scimitar with his shield.

Goblin archer 3 V Arvhil: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

The other archer, being a little smarter drops his bow and dives for an arrow slit, attempting to squeeze through.

Dex check DC 12: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

He makes it, leaps for the ground and begins running for the tree line.

Giggling Goblin Wisdom Save : 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
The giggling goblin manages to take a deep breath and seems to regain some control of his faculties.

----

Only Rothwillian, Iago and Ràghnall can attempt the following Perception check.

Percception Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

"The Drow is escaping! Look! Through that arrow slit!" says Iago pointing to the north-east, his awareness and mindfulness training from the temple paying off.

Roth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Roth nocks an arrow and fires at the Goblin #2: Bow!: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 2 = 17 for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 damage!

Iago notices the Drow woman slipping out of the window to the outside.

Rothwillian mocks an arrow and sends it hurtling into a goblin's (2) chest. The goblin is thrown back to the ground and lies there gasping for breath for a second before falling silent.


Initiative: Round 7
Drow 

PCs <-------------------------- 

Goblins 


Still to act: Arvhil, Iago, Ràghnall and Felicia.

Arvhil strikes back at the goblin who attacked him.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

another one bites the dust..

Arvhil smashes his flail into the goblin, who falls to the floor, one side of his face a mess of blood and brain gore.

Ràghnall squeezes up past Felicia and readies his bow again.

Moving Hunter's Mark to Goblin #3.

Any reason why you're not attacking Ràghnall? You can put your sword away as a free action, move your Hunters Mark as a bonus action and use your movement to move past Felicia, leaving your action unused.

Goblin 3 is prone but he's stopped laughing and looks like he's about to stand up.

Long day. :)

Ràghnall calmly waits for the Goblin to stand and fires an arrow at him.

Hunter's Mark

Longbow Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Inspiration: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Longbow Damage (Favored Enemy): 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 + (6) = 19

Iago turns to chase the Drow
If possible I'll use Sacred Flame on the Drow. Ideally I'd like to stop it for questioning. Anyone wanna chase the Drow? Any one of you would be better than Iago- he's too bulky to get through the arrow slit.
Spell save DC13 or Sacred Flame Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

"Rothwillian, are you game to pursue that Drow with me?" Ràghnall asks the Halfling.

"Looks like Iago is a bit too heavily armored to get through there, but we might have better luck. And we have arrows."

He joins Iago in pursuit.

Roth nods with a grin toward Raghnall. "Lead on!"

Felicia V Drow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
1d10 ⇒ 5

Drow save V Sacred Flame: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Felicia and Iago race to the window, Felicia aims a blast of Eldritch energy straight into the drow's back. Then flames rush up around the drow as Iago casts Sacred Flame.

-----

Finally having shaken off his incapacitating laughter, the goblin stands, still letting out the odd chortle, he looks like he's about to make for the concealed exit to the north when Ràghnall puts an arrow neatly into his temple and he falls dead to the floor.

-----

Blasted and singed the drow runs for the tree line, long white hair flowing behind her. She slips into the trees and Iago and Felicia lose sight of her.

We'll stay in Initiative if people are going to chase the drow.
It's a Dc12 Acrobatics (Dex) check to squeeze through a crumbling arrow slit from the inside. Rothwillian has advantage for being small size.

Arvhil hears a loud thump, as something big slams into the wall/door to the south...

Marked on the map.


Initiative: Round 8
Drow 

PCs <-------------------------- 

Goblins 


Everyone is up.

Ràghnall gives it a go to squeeze through the arrow slit.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"That's why you go easy on the ale!" he quips as he draws an arrow and moves his Hunter's Mark at the dark elf.

Taking the Dash action to catch up.

Arvhil moves towards the southern door, his weapons and shield at the ready.

Iago watches the Drow reach the tree line and thinks that it'd be best to stay to protect Gundren. Hearing the loud thump he wonders what could possibly have made that noise? Raising an eyebrow at Felicia he moves to stand near the fallen dwarf where he can see Arvhil. Exhausted of his divine powers he wonders how much more the party can take? Perhaps it's time to throw the dwarf over his shoulder and make for Phandalin? Damn it'd be good to get that Drow though and find out what the devil has been going on...

We should probably get Gundren back to Phandalin. I don't know what that Drow signals, but we can't let him die.

The Eldritch Blast on the Drow should have an extra 3 damage on it, if that makes any difference in the grand scheme

Deducted a further 3hp from the drow's HP :)

As Arvhil approaches the southern door, something massive crashes against it again with a loud thump, then he hears a deep " Hooooo! " and something (claws?) scraps down the other side of the door with an awful screeching noise.

Ràghnall squeezes through the tight arrow slit and leaps lightly down onto the almost knee high grass.

unfortunately it takes your action to squeeze through the arrow slit. So no Dash this round.

Rothwillian follows Ràghnall
Acro: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Acro adv: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Slipping through the arrow slit easily.

Iago and Felicia stand watch over the unconscious Gundren.

Ràghnall and Rothwillian, Please roll Perception checks as you approach the tree line.

"Quickly now my friends!" calls Iago to Arvhil and Felicia whilst stowing his mace and lifting the incapacitated dwarf onto his shoulder. "I'm headed after Ràghnall and Roth and that cursed Drow." With that the cleric moves out of the secret entrance into the light
Let me know if that action is okay- I moved Gundren's token too :)

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
