Rage of Demons

Game Master DaWay

Kingsley peers at his manacles with confusion when they don't shatter from his strength. He then jumps to his feet, ready to follow the others in their escape. "My manacles must be made from stronger material then the others. Oh well, not much I can do about it right now." Better find a way to get these off quickly, don't want to be stuck in them forever.

"Everyone" Vothe said "I know a way out. That man told me we need to go to the armory above the guard post and then jump into the webs."

"I won't be much use until we get out of the anti-magic zone. Stool, do you want me to carry you? I believe I am strong enough, and otherwise you might slow us down." He turns to Vothe, "I am not much use as a fighter unless I have my magic, but I am passable with a dagger, and could use some lighter armor. Hopefully, I will be able to cast once we get past the webs"

Looking out you see something that you can surmise was not part of Jorlan's plan. Four chasme demons pursue a pair of vrocks into the cavern from the northern passage. The demons swoop and buzz around, initially ignoring everyone else as the groups savagely assault each other. The demons' arrival has caught the drow off their guard.

Directly in front of you across the rope bridge is the tower that Jorlan spoke about. Though the tower is quickly being filled with drow and quaggoths to defend it from the demons.

To the right from the sound and smell, you can guess is the Quaggoth Den. You can see a northern watch post also to the right (North).

Below you see the webs Jorlan was talking about and the pool beneath.

Stool looks at Lenthus, you can imagine him huffing and puffing trying to catch up, his short arms and legs pumping, No! I can do it!

Lenthus stays near Stool, following the others.
Axthres, are we out of the anti magic yet?
are we?
If we are, Lenthus readies an action to cast command (Flee) on the first enemy that attacks him or Stool.

YES! answers Axthres.

Lenthus grins, the first smile he has made in months Perfect
"Vothe! Aten! We are out of the anti-magic zone, so ready any helpful spells you have."
Vothe, a dissonant whispers could be useful to make the enemies run. Paired with a command, we could get rid of a couple attackers for a short time.

Lenthus. Lenthus speaks Axthres in the empassioned yet disconneted voices, There are demons about. We must slay them there will be no room in the Nine Hells for them. Make them perish!

We will Axthres, don't worry. But first we must make sure our allies are properly armed. Perhaps they can become demon slayers soon.
"Kingsley! Vothe! Are you still shackled? If you are, let me help"
Lenthus will try to use eldritch blast on the manacles to break them. If they are willing and within 5 feet, I should be able to blast without an attack roll, right?

Seeing Lenthus stare meaningfully at his manacles, Vothe will hold his arms up and spread apart to offer an easy target.

"Drevab!" A cracking bolt of pink energy streaks towards Vothes manacles.
If necessary, here's an attack roll Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Kingsley gives Lenthus a nod, moving closer to him. "It would be much appreciated, friend." King holds out his shackles like Vothe, hopefully making it easier to break them. Hopefully we don't run into too much of a hassle with these demons and drow.

Aten feels the magic flowing through him again and smiles wide and true and laughs to himself happily. Welcome back my darling! He flexes his magical 'muscles' and prepares to fight if need be.

He nods at Lenthus seeing him break Vothe and Kingsley free. "Quickly, let us head for the armory and discover some arms for our less magically inclined allies!"

Blasting Kingsley's as well Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
He looks at Atendarius. "Yes. I could do with some armor or weapons myself." Lenthus go to the armory, making sure Stool is with him.

I'm going to require an attack roll on the manacles. I am setting the AC at 5. So basically I just don't want to see a 1.

The tower currently houses three drow on guard duty. It contains a Zurkhwood table and three chairs, a smaller side table, and spider-silk webbing set with hooks for hanging equipment. A ladder goes up to the upper reaches of the guard tower.

Sneaking or Direct approach?

"We don't have much time! To hell with stealth, let us blast our way in if we must!" Aten starts stomping toward the tower, his finger tips emitting a cold blue glow as he prepares a spell.

Bryn skids to a halt on the wet cavern floor seeing the scene, allowing his cell mates to leave and work to free each other. He opens his mind and scans all he sees in greyscale to gather insight in what may lay before them. [i]May no fiend escape Tyr's hand.

"The enemy of my enemy... It applies in layer here, lads! We are united in our escape, and the drow have taken arms against this horde; let us seek refuge in the guard post and request to arm ourselves to fight against the demons!" Bryn continues onto the rope bridge scanning the cavern as he goes.
Taking an action for divine sense, trying to locate demons in the dark and figure out if they are concentrating on a single point

King is quick to follow Lenthus once his shackles have been blasted away. "Aye, same here. Unlike you casters, I won't be so handy without a weapon." His eye's drift to Aten, letting out a light laugh. "You're one crazy elf, but a true gentlemen wouldn't let a friend fight head-on alone! I'm with you." Hopefully I can snag something to fight with other then this sharp rock first though.

If we attack, would we get a surprise round?

"Drevab!"
Eldritch blast one of the drow (assuming they haven't seen us) Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8Attack (if advantage): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Yes, I'll give you a surprise round. I will wish you luck because this encounter could kill all 16 of you.

Oh boy. Well here's hoping! Are any of the drow particularily close together? I'd like to try and ice knife more than one

Yeah, you can get all of them it's a tiny tower, less than 15' in diameter.

I also still have command (flee) concentrated on

With a sharp gesture a shard of ice bursts from Aten's fingertips and hurls at the nearest of the drow.

Attack w/ advantage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Damage on target: 1d10 ⇒ 1

Damage to all of them if a successful reflex save isn't made: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

Can I just run past them into the upstairs armory since we have the drop on them? It's a small room...

Yes

Atendarius shard of ice burst forth, shattering on the nearest Drow's chest then sending shrapnel pieces into his fellow guards.
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Drow 1 (10 damage)
Drow 2 (18 damage)
Drow 3 (9 damage)

For my first turn on the round: Eldritch blast Attack roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 3

Sorry, forgot some stuuf.
I will be attacking drow 2
Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
If I am attacked I will be using Hellish Rebuke

This magic might just be enough... Bryn charges forth as the spell fades, moving as far and as fast as he can to enter the armory using his best effort to avoid the blades of the Drow.
I want to avoid taking damage if possible but I imagine I would have to take one attack running by.

Pulling a flint shard from his underwear, Kingsley charges towards one of the Drow."Sorry about this!" he says before he lets out a blood curdling cry and flying into a fit of rage.

Activating rage, attacking drow 1
Attack with Advantage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

I'll also toss my initiative roll in here
Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Initiative roll: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Initiative Order
Round 1
Atendarius (take a bonus surprise round), NPCs (will act solely on non surprise round due to most of them still being in shackles), Bryn, Drow 1, Drow 3, Vothe, Kingsley, Ril, Lentus, Drow 2

You may post out of order, but I will organize to follow initiative order

Atendarius throws the ice knife, need bonus surprise round and first round of combat.

NPCs dont know whats going on for a moment.

Bryn runs to the ladder and enters into the room where he sees:

Drow 1 and 3 are surprised.

Vothe...

Kingsley charges forth, and jabs the piece of flint into the jugular of one of the Drow guards, killing him almost instantly.

Ril...

Lenthus sends forth an Eldritch blast, hitting the Drow guard square in the chest, who seems to take it more as an insult than an attack.

Drow 2 is surprised

Drow 1 (dead)
Drow 2 (21 damage)
Drow 3 (9 damage)

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

As the beam of power damages his manacles, Vothe will focus on one of the guards giving orders and say in common "So this is the 'so called' might of the drow. It's a wonder that farmers with pitchforks haven't wiped out your people by now!"

Casting Vicious Mockery: He'll need to make a Will save dc 14 or take 1d4 psychic damage and have disadvantage on his next attack roll

I assume you mean wisdom save. Your spell DC's seem to be off. They should all be 8+ proficiency bonus (2)+ charisma modifier (3) for a total of 13.

1d2 ⇒ 1

Looking at the tough guard 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20, Pff, fool! Shouldn't you be back in your cage little rat! As he draws a shortsword that appears to having some vile viscous liquid smeared on it.

Bonus surprise round
Aten moving lightning quick unleashes a burst of frost towards the second drow as soon as he sees the first fall to Kingsley.

Ray of Frost Attack w/ advantage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
CRITICAL HIT!
Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5
Weak critical, movement speed of drow reduced by 10ft

First round action
He then gestures towards the second drow again and with sharp words unleashes a smaller bite of frost.
Using Frostbite. That is a DC 13 con save or he take 1d6 and disadvantage on his next attack roll

All the while he is laughing wildly. The surge of magic running through his body putting him a state of emotional high.

Ripping the shard of flint from the drows jugular, a twisted grin crosses his face followed by a bellowing laughter. Yes..! This feeling-! He turns quickly, swinging his shard at another enemy.

Attacking drow 3
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

As Kingsley moves in for the strike, he notices the flying shard of ice coming his way. Planting a foot on the ground and pulling his momentum, he's able to slow himself down only to have a shard of ice fly right past his face.

Ya, I think in one version of him I had an 18 cha. Sorry bout that. You have the dc correctly, and please stop rolling so good!

I won't be able to post till 6:00 PM EST tomorrow (Might have time around 9:00 AM EST). If I miss anything important, please roll this for me
Attacked? Step 1. Hellish Rebuke. Step 2. Eldritch Blast. Repeat as necessary.
Stool dies? Kill his murderer, and then kill his murderers family, and anyone he's ever associated with, and then feed his murderers corpse to a beholder. :0 (just kill the murderer.)

Wow - a lot has happened in 12 hours since I last checked

Ril tries to sucker punch #3 who is in melee with Kingsley.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 for 1 + 1d6 ⇒ 2 damage.

Bryn looks around the room and curses the Drow for their reliance underhanded weaponry. He grabs a short sword and moves quickly to the window to see if he can see the webbing landing zone below. A plan forms in Bryn's mind as he heads to the window. If we can rally in the webs we can spend some time equipping ourselves down below. I can keep a few weapons to hand out in case the webs themselves give us trouble. First I must buy myself some time if they are forced to flee from down below.
Perception check if needed: 1d20 ⇒ 20
I have darkvision, but I'm concerned I will only see an empty void where the webs "should be". I would throw a torch down but I don't have that option assuming the rooms are not lit.

Lenthus quickly steps back, making sure he is not too close. He blasts out another pink rod of lightning at the drow that Kingsly is attacking. "Drevab!"
Eldritch Blast Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Drow 1 (dead)
Drow 2 (32 damage)
Drow 3 (12 damage)

Drow 2 Con Save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d6 ⇒ 6
Atendarius cold spells are starting to take their toll on the elite drow.

Drow 3 moves to attack Kingsley, who has put down his friend in a fit of rage. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 hit

Bryn looking about, you see two things, one the webs themselves have giant spiders lurking on them second there is a demon, who got knocked out of the sky careening towards your location.

Vothe, you happy! I stopped rolling well.

Kingsley in his fit of rage stabs at the third drow who deftly ducks under the thrust of the shiv.

Ril sucker punches the third drow as he ducks under the knife from kingsley, squarely catching him in the head. checking for crit due to advantage: 1d20 ⇒ 12 no crit

Drow 2 moves to attack Kingsley and Ril
Kingsley, disadvantage 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 miss
Ril, disadvantage 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 271d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 miss, aww no crit

init Menzobezzaran City Vrock: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Initiative Order
Round 2
Atendarius, NPCs (only Jimjar and Sarith), Bryn, Drow 1, Drow 3, Vothe, Vrock, Kingsley, Ril, Lentus, Drow 2

Round 2:

Lenthus will either kill Drow 3 or miss drow 2

If everyone could please put their AC, HP, and PP in their taglines it would help me out a lot.

I said in my post who I was attacking (sorry, should have been clearer) It was drow 2. Not entirely sure how to do taglines, but I will try.

I said in my post who I was attacking (sorry, should have been clearer) It was drow 2. Not entirely sure how to do taglines, but I will try.

You got the taglines, yeah, sorry both were attacking Kingsley, so it was a little unclear to me.

Aten casts a second bite of frost at the elite drow. Determined to take him down. "Be still! It is the end for you!"

Casts frostbite again!

Bryn curses their continued misfortune as he grabs a second short sword and shakes it from the scabbard, he moves to the far end of the room from the window and shouts, I am unsure who is still able to hear this, but a demon is approaching the tower from the sky! While there are some light weaponry and crossbows up here, I suggest retreat may be in order! Withdraw from the tower!
Did the demon look like it will land in the tower or will it strike the side like a catapulted rock? Alive or dead?

Land in the tower, Severely Injured
