THAT! That's what I wanted Fury to go see! Tartuccio!

(and I want Fury to knock him off the cliff)

Lol, good luck with that, I doubt a familiar could do that.

Milani guide my arm Pyros thinks, drawing his sword. While no words echo in his mind, he feels a sudden surety that he has been heard. As he pushes into the water, he feels the blade surge with power, and it begins to shine. As he reaches the first kobold, he swings his blade.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
Damage, Magical/Slashing: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Crit?
Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Damage, Magical/Slashing: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

LOL In this case, I would hope so ... but let me know what I'm missing :)

Seems to me like a CR1 Small Elemental which can become a 20' tall whirlwind/vortex should be able to knock down a CR.25 kobald, or at least harass it pretty well. But if it isn't going to be able to act as a small elemental, I will retrain the feats at some point.

Tartuccio is not CR 1/4, he is CR 10.

ah ... the something missing ;)
got it

I mean he's the big bad for a group of level 6 characters. Did you really think he was gonna be a common kobold? lol

In my head, I was probably thinking physics is physics and a 20' whirlwind should knockdown/knockback the mass of a common kobald ... but this isn't neccesarily that ;)

I'm just waiting for Reg's actions

I'm sorry, in my COVID delerium I think I thought I had cast already

Reg directs Fury to go distract Tartuccio to prevent spell casting ... and casts Magic Missle, tarheting the farthest archer across the river.

2 Magic Missles: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 = 9

making sure you know the archers are all unconscious already

Sure didn't ... :( would you be so kind to pick Reg a target?

Tartuccio is within range

The kobold fighters move up and attack (they have 60' of movement now).

att vs Dog: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
att vs Dog: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

att vs Pyros: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
att vs Pyros: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4

They miss Dog, but both hit Pyros as they caught him flat-footed, but they barely scratch him.

Pyros responds by cutting one of his attackers in half!

OK, everyone except Pyros is up now. Remember, you all have a +1 from Bless

Savage Longbow +15/+10 (1d8+4/x3): 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 1 = 321d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Savage Longbow +15/+10 (1d8+4/x3): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 201d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Bite +9 (1d8+4 plus trip): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 101d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Trip +9: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Ekun and Dog attack the kobold directly in front of Dog.

Tartuccio is within range

Perfect, thank you. Tartuccio it is then.

Faerin, Reg, and Octavia are up
Ekun hits the kobols with two arrows, but he doesn't go down. Dog misses.

Reg's Magic Missiles glance harmlessly off of Tartuccio's Shield spell

Harrim attacks the kobold near him
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Quickly casting a spell, that calls upon the undying power of the ancient oak, dormant within her staff, Faerin moves forward to stand beside Pyros on the front line, as deadly wooden thorns burst from her skin.

Cast Shillelagh (Duration 6 mins). Move. Bramble armor activated

Setting her sights on Tartuccio, Octavia releases a perfect shot, her magically amplified arrow slamming home with incredible force. " Block this one, bastard!"

+1 composite shortbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Gravity bow: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

+1 composite shortbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Gravity bow: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

Octavia manages to hit Tartuccio (but fails to confirm the crit), who screams at here and takes shelter behind a tree.

Just waiting on Reg

I'm movong on, when Reg comes back he can post his actions.

att v Dog: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
att v Dog: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
att v Pyros: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
att v Faerin: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
att v Harrim: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
att v Reg: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

damage vs Dog: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
damage vs Harrim: 1d4 ⇒ 1
damage vs Reg: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Though they seem to be much more skilled than your average kobolds, their damage is still minimal.

Ok, everyone is up again.

Apologies: work & post-COVID recovery have taken away from me

Savage Longbow +15/+10 (1d8+4/x3): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 201d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Savage Longbow +15/+10 (1d8+4/x3): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 251d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Bite +9 (1d8+4 plus trip): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 121d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Trip +9: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Ekun and dog attack the kobold in front of dog. If either of them put the beast down, they move to the kobold to the right.

My wife got Covid last Wednesday night, and I got it Friday night. *sigh*

Pyros attempts to hack and slash his way through the kobolds.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Damage, Magical Slashing: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

If the first hit kills the one in front of me, I'll attack the one to my left (in front of the gnome) next.

Ekun kills another kobold and Dog trips the other one. Pyros cuts down another kobold as well. Reg and one of the gnomes kill the kobold that was next to Reg.

Whirling her staff with practiced skill, Faerin strikes the kobold before her.

Shillelagh: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Magic/ Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 = 7

Her sights set on the troublesome kobold, Octavia sends another shot zipping toward Tartuccio as she taunts him. "What was that? I can't hear you!!"

+1 composite shortbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Magic/Piercing/ Gravity bow: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Miss Chance (in case the tree provides cover): 1d100 ⇒ 97

Octavia, you can barely see see Tartuccio as he has full cover (+8 AC, not a miss chance)

Okay. In that case I'll target Faerin's opponent if they're still up, the one closest to Pyros if not.

Harrim attacks the same target he did before.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Forgot haste attacks last round, here they are:

att v Dog: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
att v Dog: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
att v Pyros: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
att v Harrim: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
att v Faerin: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
att v Reg: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Btw, Reg, you have none of your data I need in your header, I have no idea what your AC is.

damage v Dog: 1d4 ⇒ 1
damage v Faerin: 1d4 ⇒ 4

The prone kobold next to Dog attempts to get up, Dog gets an AoO.

Bite +9 (1d8+4 plus trip): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 181d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Trip +9: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

As the kobold stand, "Dog" attacks again and tries to trip it.

You don't get to trip with the AoO as it happens to the opponent while still probe (you do get the -4 to their AC).[

Dog kills the kobold as it attempts to get up.

As the last of the kobold fighters fall, Tartuccio calls out:
"Thisss isssn't over! Sssee you sssoon!"

Immediately, all of the gnomes rush to the wagon which looks to be in danger of tipping over and being washed downrtiver. You can see that half of the team of horses that pulled the wagon broke free, while the two remaining horses are wild eyed in terror and trying to pull free, making stabilizing the wagon near impossible.

Animal Empathy d20+6: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Ekun immediately goes up to the two horses and attempts to calm them down, whispering to them and stoking their manes. "Easy guys, easy. It's ok. I'll help you" he says soothing them.

Pyros wants to go after Tartuccio, but he only allows himself one last glare in the kobold's direction before moving to help the gnomes instead.

Uh...what check would I make to help with the wagon? Strength? Acrobatics? I've got +0 STR, so if it's something else I'll add the modifier later.

Stregnth?: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Several things are apparent. First, you need something to help keep the wagon from being dragged off by the river, right now it is taking all efforts just to prevent that. Second, finding the other two horses would be of great benefit in pulling the wagon out. Finally, there is a large boulder that has the wagon wheel jammed, something must be done to remove it.

Ekun solved the problem of the two remaining horses, havinfg successfully calmed them down, making it easier to keep the wagon from being pulled downriver.

"Faerin, any chance you could calm those other horses?" PYros shouts, in between grunts of effort as he tries to keep the wagon from washing away.

Did the other two take off?

Taking in the scene, Faerin nods, strapping her staff across her back and beginning to shift, her form altering to that of a falcon as she takes to the air, flying up to a high enough altitude to spot the runaway horses.

Wild shape: Eagle. fly 30 feet (average maneuverability), low-light vision

Unable to help with the physical task of wrangling the wagon, and with the animals being taken care of, Octavia studies the boulder jamming the wagon wheel, looking for a solution to pry it loose.

Knowledge Engineering: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Faerin, you quickly find the other two horses on the other side of the ford near where Tartuccio disappeared.

Octavia, A lever of some kinfd would go a long way to help pry up the rock and let you use the force of the river to move it. Also, you think it would be a good idea to use ropes to secure the wagon to some trees on the bank.

Taking in the situation, Octavia starts calling out directions to her other companions and the scrambling gnomes. "Does anyone have a crowbar or something else we can use as a lever? We can use it to pry that damned rock loose!"

"Reg! Harrim! we need to tie the wagon to those trees on the bank to keep it from being swept away!" she says looking in the wagon for rope.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Reg goes over to grab rope once we've found it, and secures it to the frame of the wagon

You find plenty of rope, and witht he aid of the gnom,es, secure the wagon. This frees up most of you to work on the problem.

You also find a crowbar, but only two people can get to the boulder. Pick two of you. The way I do cooperative rolls is that both PCs make the roll (in this case, STR w/ a +2 for the crowbar), and then whoever rolls the highest is the primary and the others are assist rolls. You can also wait for Faerin to bring back the other two horses if she calms them down.

2 horses could help a LOT

I'm at +0 strength, so I doubt anyone in the party would be a much worse choice than me.
