Princes of the Apocalypse 5E

Round 3

Ashi quickly presses her advantage, seeing her previous blow had done some damage.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The guard grunts and steps a half step back as he takes Ashi's strike to the chest. He grits his teeth and prepares his reply.

Torith grunts, curses, and rushes the cultist, swinging with his great axe
Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Dmg if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

That's a big hit. The cultists's armour catches most of it, but he takes the blow to the chest and gasps under the weight of the hit.

Both cultists scream and rush forward with their maces.

Cultist 1
Attack 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
The cultists smashes his mace down on Ashi. Crit! Doing 10 damage
Attack 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Cultist 2
Attack 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Attack 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
The cultists's mace smacks Torith for 5 damage.

Torith attempts to block the mace hit by raising his shield, but is to slow, and the mace smashes into his face. Gritting his teeth, he swings his axe into the vile cultists stomach!

Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
DMG, if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Ashi shows her teeth as the shock of the mace hit reverberates through her sturdy frame.

Pushing away the offending weapon, she brings her own to bear on the impertinent cultist...

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Torith smashes his cultist in the face, a gout of blood runs down his forehead. The other cultist, facing Ashi, yells "Warn Larakh, I'll hold them off." The first cultist then disengages and jumps down into the tunnel beneath the cellar door they were guarding.

The remaining cultist steps in to block the entrance to the tunnel and does an impressive manoeuvre with his mace, whirling it around. "You've come too far and now you must die. Crushing Earth!" Then he lashes out at both torith and Ashi with his weapon.

Attack vs Torith
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Attack vs Ashi
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Ashi takes 5 damage.

Round 5 you are up.

Torith easily deflects the mace with his shield, and retaliates with his axe. Wrong! YOU must die
attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
dmg, if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Ashi merely grunts as another blow makes its way past her guard. She smiles at Torith's bravado, adding her own strike as punctuation...

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

boom, boom, two staccato strikes one from each of you and the cultist goes down, felled by blows.

You can hear the footsteps of the fleeing cultist echoing down the tunnel below you.

Pulling the axe out of the cultists body, Tortih runs after the fleeing cultist. Taking the dash action, using all my speed :)

Ashi spits on the fallen cultist then hefts her axe and sprints after Torith and the other guard...
