Insight: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Oh the amount of chaos going on makes May just as happy as Eerie.
She tugs on the gate. Open this gate! she calls to the groundskeeper. Dalron, do you see another way in?
May for once thinks ahead and casts Mage Armor.
Aeshuura |
Snow sees a pair of black leather-clad thugs appear at the door and take a knee with their crossbows!
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
One guard takes a bolt to the back and falls! The other runs past Eeerie and tries to get past Aukan reaching for the gates!
Eeerie |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Eerie claps his hands together excitedly, "This will be much fun!" Eerie's eyes lock onto the closest of the thugs and he grins with his head tilting at an odd angle.
Cast Crown of Madness on the blue thug. Wisdom Save DC 13 (5e makes me cry with how low the saves DCs are).
The thug begins hearing whispers in their mind. At first the whispers sound far away, but they quickly begin to sound closer. The whispers sound as if they are trying to tell something very important, as if they hunger for something. Power...Strength...All are enemies...All want to kill you...Especially the one next to you...He wants everything that you have...He will kill you if you don't kill him first...!
Range: 120 ft.
Target: 1 target
Components: V, S
Duration: Up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom Negates
Concentration: Yes
One humanoid of your choice that you can see within range must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you for the duration. While the target is charmed in this way, a twisted crown of jagged iron appears on its head, and a madness glows in its eyes. The charmed target must use its action before moving on each of its turns to make a melee attack against a creature other than itself that you mentally choose.
Aeshuura |
1d20 ⇒ 6
Welp. Low DC or no, that is not a success!
The thug on the left drops his crossbow as a crown of twisted iron forms and comes to rest on the man's brow. His eyes turn to his companion and he raises his mace...
Not his turn.
Initiative Round 3
Sliver -> Thugs -> Mayberry -> Aukan -> Dalron -> Snow -> Eeerie
Sliver, what would you like to do?
Aeshuura |
Sorry, I missed that. It should have been an Athletics check, so yes. You manage to climb the gate, but it takes 20 feet of your movement.
Aukan Knows-No-Fear |
Aukan howls in pleasure and charges the black clad enemies.
BattleAXE: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
BattleAXE ADV: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
I have defeated the Greenskin Chief! I have slain the Goblin. I have slain the Wolf! I am Aukan! I Know No Fear! he bellows at the newcomers
Aeshuura |
Initiative Round 3
Sliver -> Thugs -> Mayberry -> Aukan -> Dalron -> Snow -> Eeerie
Sliver struggles to find a foothold, when it becomes clear that Aukan has no interest in him, the guard frantically calls out, Hold on, I'm coming!
It appears that he is coming to open the gate for you... On his turn, ;) Mayberry, does that change your action?
Aukan charges past the guard at the thugs in the doorway!
Aukan, it will take your Dash action to get to the thugs, delaying your attack until the next round. Would you like to throw a javelin instead, or double move? (I ask because if you do not get attacked this round, it may be a waste of a rage. If you attack, however, your rage stays active.)
Aukan Knows-No-Fear |
Doh. I forgot that charging is a variant rule and not in AL. Yeah use a javelin attack instead.
Aukan snatches a javelin off his shield and hurls it at the blad clad enemies!
Hurled Javelin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Dalron Cleric of Ilmater |
I should be on the other side of the fence this round, unless this is the same round that I went over. If so disregard the movement part of my post.
Dalron move forward his full 20' and says a small prayer"May Ilmaters blessings bring you back from the darkness."
Dalron cast Healing word on the fallen guard.
Healing Word (1st level): 1d4 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 10
Mayberry Kelhandha |
May was starting to climb the gate, but the guard opened it so she jumps down. She regards the groundskeeper and the dogs running (away probably), the guard near them and the one on the ground, and the thugs in the doorway. Careful to avoid Snow if she can even see her, May wiggles her magic fingers and sends a Chaos Bolt flying at one of the baddies, but sadly it fizzles. Chaos bolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6. She runs out to help the downed guard with whatever movement she has left.
Wild magic: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Snow in the Valley |
Snow leaps from the bushes at the sight of the thugs shooting one of the guardsman in the back. With catlike speed she closes the distance and staff jabs one of the thugs in the throat and then roundhouse kicks him in the chest. If she recognizes the crown, she will attack the other thug, if not pick one randomly.
Qstaff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 for Bludg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Kick: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 for Bludg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
what looked so cool in my head.
Instead what really happens is she leaps from the bushes and with catlike personality sees something shiney on the side of the house and is distracted by it, trips on the stairs as she closes the distance, and then paws at the enemy ineffectually.
Aeshuura |
May's bolt of chaos flies out and burns a scorch mark on the wall next to the guard!
Aukan charges at the thug, hurling a javelin, but it embeds in the door with a thud!
Dalron feels the familiar burn in the center of his back, in the same area that the guard was shot, and he calls out to the fallen man. The guard shakes his head, surprised, and scrambles to his feet, leaving his spear behind!
Snow notices the iron crown upon the brow of one of the men, that she can now see is a Zhentarim thug being a Harper, she has become adept at sniffing them out. BTW, has Eeerie used this spell before? Noting the look in the man's eye, she turns her attention to the other thug and throws an ineffectual flurry of strikes!
Initiative Round 4
Sliver -> Thugs -> Mayberry -> Aukan -> Dalron -> Snow -> Eeerie
Sliver is up! The gates have been opened by the guard!
Sliver. |
Sliver goes inside the compound and fires off a shot at blue.
Longbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Aeshuura |
As luck seems to conspire against you, the thug in the iron crown swings hard at his companion!
Mace attack #1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Mace attack #2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
He swings twice, causing thug to scramble out of the way! -5 hp!
The uncontrolled thug scowls, apparently recognizing the spell, and draws a bead at Eeerie!
Heavy Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Eeerie takes 5 hp damage!
Wisdom Save: 1d20 ⇒ 9
Eeerie, make a Concentration check DC 10.
Eeerie |
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Eerie gets hit by the bolt but does not flinch. He looks down slowly at the bolt with his creepy smile and head tilt, at the same time a distortion or light seems to fly at the thug that fired the bolt.
Eldritch Blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Aeshuura |
Ooops, forgot to post initiative tracker!
Initiative Round 4
Sliver -> Thugs -> Mayberry -> Aukan -> Dalron -> Snow -> Eeerie
Nice shot! I will wait for others to post, since technically, you have the lowest initiative!
Dalron Cleric of Ilmater |
I should be about 20' from the gate.
Dalron moves forward seeing a bolt hit Eeere
May those that cause suffering, Suffer."
Sacred Flame on crossbow thug: 1d8 ⇒ 4 radiant damage, Dex Save DC 14
Aeshuura |
Actually, you are 10 feet from the gate. It was 20 feet of your movement to climb and jump down, then 10 feet move and healing word. But with your action you can move closer.
Mayberry Kelhandha |
Scowling at the miss, Mayberry decides to try again, aiming for the un-crowned thug.
Chaos bolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21. That's better! she exclaims.
Chaos bolt damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (5, 1) + 8 = 14
Acid's fun, let's make that acid damage.
Wild magic: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Snow in the Valley |
Snow follows her companions’ attacks with her own.
Qstaff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for Bludg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Unarmed: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 for Bludg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Aeshuura |
May hurls her chaos bolt at the thug, hitting him in the chest and knocking him back!
Aukan rushes in, causing the thug to scramble for safety as the goliath's battle axe buries itself in the wall Hit flavored as the thug burning hp to get out of the way!
1d20 ⇒ 14 Dalron calls down a holy column of fire, but the thug rolls aside!
But it is not enough as Snow's quarterstaff crushes the thug's nose!
Assuming you are aiming for knockout. Do you want to attack the Crown of Madnessed thug with your bonus attack?
[b]Initiative[b] Round 4
Sliver -> Thugs -> Mayberry -> Aukan -> Dalron -> Snow -> Eeerie
Thug 1 - Crown of Madness
Thug 2 - unconscious
Aeshuura |
Eeerie, you are pretty certain that the thug can still take an attack of opportunity. You still want to walk past?
Aeshuura |
As Eeerie moves past the crazed maniac, the thug's eyes focus on Eeerie and he swipes at the warlock in a wide arc!
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Tagging the warlock on the side of the forehead! Eeerie takes 5 hp.
Aeshuura |
As Eeerie enters the grand hall, he sees the place littered with bodies, both house guard and aside from the thug dropped at the door, two other Zhentarim thugs in their signature black leathers and skullcap.
Aeshuura |
Initiative Round 5
Sliver -> Thugs -> Mayberry -> Aukan -> Dalron -> Snow -> Eeerie
Sliver's up!
Aeshuura |
Since it has been a few days, I will bot Sliver.
Sliver moves into the courtyard, draws a bead on the remaining thug and looses an arrow! 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Thug 1 -13 hp
The Zhent swings his mace at 1 - Aukan, 2 - Snow1d2 ⇒ 1 Aukan! 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 But the goliath shrugs it off!
Everyone else is up!
EDIT: Initiative Round 5
Sliver -> Thug -> Mayberry -> Aukan -> Dalron -> Snow -> Eeerie
Mayberry Kelhandha |
Firebolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17, fire damage: 1d10 ⇒ 6
Well now he's got a crown and he's on fire. And May keeps moving toward the manor, trying to stay out of thug's reach.
Aeshuura |
Dalron jogs forward, his heavy armor making a shink-shink sound with each pair of steps.
May moves up next to Sliver and hurls her firey bolt at the thug, hitting him in the shoulder!
Initiative Round 5
Sliver -> Thug -> Mayberry -> Aukan -> Dalron -> Snow -> Eeerie
Thug has taken a total of 19 hp, but is still up!
Aeshuura |
I guess that works... It is a target. Next round he looks like he will do that!
