Browman's Untitled Campaign

Game Master Browman

Izússavar nods to the others and heads up the hill.

someone give me a survival check to follow the tracks

Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

The tracks lead into the forest and after several hours of tracking you hear the roar of a bear relatively close down the trail ahead of you.

"A bear." Artemis commented. "We could stop and take down the bear for both meat and fur. What do you think?" She asked Ulmarr.

"Bears are big bastards, I'd rather not fight one unless I have to," Ulmarr said, "Then again, I do wonder what's got it sounding so agitated... Doubt it's just us, else we'd already be getting chewed on."

"Yes, let's have a look. Maybe the bear is doing our job for us."

You advance through the woods a couple hundred paces you see a fight in a clearing, 4, now 3 as one drops after being clawed, cloaked figures around a large bear. The bear is clearly hurt as blood flows down it's flank.

You are currently about 100ft from the fight, the woodline ends 80ft in front of you. There is a cave on the far side of the clearing.

Can we see anything else about the figures beyond the fact that they wear cloaks?

"Let's get closer. I can't see much at this distance."

Casting Shillelagh and holding his quarterstaff at the ready, Ulmarr moved closer to the fight.

"If we don't move swiftly and those figures are from that village they might die." Artemis told them before she swiftly followed after her friends, readying a javelin. "I can toss this to distract them, but if they are our enemy we lose the element of surprise."

They are facing away from you so you can't see who they are.

I believe we are moving closer.

Yeap

If we can, if not Artemis will toss a javelin behind the group of people to make them turn.

Sorry, I haven't been feeling great for the past week and work has been crazy.

As you get to about 50ft away you can clearly tell that the cloaks and movement of the humanoids clearly matches that of the bandits you fought a few days ago.

The bear is down but likely still alive, 3 of the 4 bandits are standing, but 2 are clearly injured.

"Maybe see about getting the bear back up Ulmarr. I'll keep them distracted!" Artemis said before she drew her blades.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

"I don't think an angry bear would improve the situation for anyone," Ulmarr said, making a mental note to try and revive the poor creature once they had dealt with the immediate threat. And so, he cast entangle, and the plants around the bandits came to life.

Entangle, DC 15

Initiative 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 3 + (4) = 26
Initiative 2: 1d20 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 3 + (6) = 15

Might as well use Inspiration for my initiative roll. I'll use the first roll.

Izússavar murmurs a protective ward over his weapons and then advances to the edge of the overgrown area, brandishing his Terbutje.

"All right bandits, let's see what you've got!"

Casting diving favor and then single move. I don't want to move into the entangle AoE.

Looks like the site is back up. I am ready.
