Game on!

Roscoe calls out over the commotion. "Get to it lads and lasses. Fell the blessing the Lucky Drunk. Stay alive long enough to toast him back!"

You are blessed. +1d4 for the frontline 3 (Damon, Hall, & Kokam).

Feeling the slightly tipsy-sounding encouragement from Roscoe, Damon stepped forward and pressed his attack against the cultist directly to his east. Grunting away the pain from his wound, he took a mighty swing with his Sunrise Sword, hoping to cleave through glaive and cultist alike!

Sunrise Sword Attack: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (11) + (3) + 5 = 19
Sunrise Sword Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Kokam frowns, seeing the true threat, probably the ones that corrupted the mongrel-people that they'd fought earlier.

As the cultists engaged them, she noticed the one attacking Damon had put a little too much weight on her front foot, allowing Kokam a quick strike with her spear...

Sentinel Reaction Attack vs Damon's cultist, spear, two handed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

...that was defected by the mail covering her side.

Presented with an adversary of her own, she was surprised by the deft handling of the cultist's glaive, receiving a blow to her leg. I am glad Stella gave me that healing draught! she thought to herself, as she launched her counter-attack, feeling a slight euphoria come over her from Roscoe's blessing...

spear, two handed: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + (4) = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

spear, two handed, bonus: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Kokam's spear spins and thrusts, one such finding purchase , causing blood to well up at the base of the cultist neck. The next however was met by the sturdy wood shaft of the cultist's glaive, the sound reminding Kokam of her time in the practice yard, dueling with wooden swords...

Bonus action - Shield of Faith (+2 AC) Now AC14. Background Trait bonus spell.

A set of glowing transparent armoured plates overlays the large Ulfens form, a manifestation of Gorums favour!

Crossing his blade over the cultists polearm, his face contorted with violence and rage - a terrifying sight to behold, channeling the presence of The Lord in Iron, he bellows a roar of challenge and blood lust.

Intimidation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Menacing: When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one attack with an attempt to demoralize one humanoid you can see within 30 feet of you that can see and hear you. Make a Charisma (Intimidation) check contested by the target's Wisdom (Insight) check. If your check succeeds, the target is frightened until the end of your next turn. * This ability can only be attempted once per hour (succeed or not) on the same creature.

He closes to press his advantage.

I'm out in the boondocks of rural Australia... apologies in advance but posting may be sporadic and at weird times.

Stella was surprised to see non-mongrelman lurking within the lair and it took her a moment before she focused again and acted. Seeing the three cultist grouped together, she dismissed her previously conjured ball of fire and knelt. Placing her palm on the ground, she spoke a few words of Sylvan before yelling "GROW!" after which a mass of vines sprung from the earth and attempted to ensnare her enemies.

Cast Entangle on a 20ft square affecting as many of the cultist as possible without attacking anyone from the party. Strength Save 13 or the cultists are restrained

Nice!

Enjoy your vacation, Fabian...Post when you feel like it.

Still here but enjoying my vacation. I just spent Monday night at a beach house with a tropical storm over our heads! :)

[b]"Hang in there, Kokam, I've got your back," said Damon, worried about the wounds his companion had taken. For now, he focused on the cultist engaging him to his south, using the blessing of the Drunk God and his own martial skill to try and take him down.

Swinging in a sweeping diagonal arc, Damon attempt to end this evil creature's life!

Sunrise Sword Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (17) + 5 + (1) = 23
Sunrise Sword Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

A palpable hit! But was it enough to overwhelm the enemy?

Roscoe rushes to where he can flank with Kokam and sends his rapier in for the kill.

Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

He utters a short prayer and reaches toward the monk sending healing energies.

Healing Word: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

I dont think Kokam ever rolled for the health potion she got

Though she wasn't able to trap any cultist in the conjured vines, she was pleased to see that she was at least able to separate the three of them from each other which she hoped would help them in their fight. Seeing the Stormbrow seemingly in control with his foe, Stella conjured a ball of flame and threw it at one of the remaining two cultist hoping to bring them down.

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Unfortunately she missed wide once again.

GM rolled my healing from the potion for me, Stella !! :)

Kokam watches as the cultist nimbly jumped aside to avoid Stella's spell, and she one again found herself impressed by these people. Such ability...wasted in the worship of the Demon!

She winces as she's cut once more , but then a feeling of warmth flows over her, like that of body and spirit when attending a celebration, accompanied by the tickle in her throat from her Elder's homemade ale.

Feeling her new wound closing, Kokam attacks the cultist vigorously, striking out with her spear...

Attack, spear , two handed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

...but the cultist deftly parries her initial strike. Taking the momentum from that parry, Kokam continues her assault..

Attack, spear , two handed, bonus : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

... but the cultist's skill is too much for her, turning aside her jab with a easy twist of his glaive.

What was your HP after the potion. If you weren't hurt it might be good to save the heals.

After the potion, Kokam was at 10/16 hp. Then she got hit for 5. So your heal would bring her up to 9.

That makes sense. I am happy to share the healing.

Oh missed that! Also I think you roll a 1d4 Kokam cause you're blessed by Roscoe. Might make your attack land!

Thanks for the reminder, Stella!

Bless on 1st attack: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Bless on 2nd attack: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Retcon Attack #1!!!

Though Kokam was sure that the cultist was going to parry her first thrust, fortune was with her and his hand slipped on the staff of his glaive , allowing her spear point through to pink his arm!

The Viking tosses a blessing of Gorum over to Kokam with a shout.

Word of healing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Then savagely attacks his target!

Word of healing: 1d20 + 4 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (1) = 8 For Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Well that sucks... target frightened until end of my round

On weird ass back to back 12 hour shifts, on day then nights, then in doing light duties. I apologise in advance for disruption on my posting. It WILL return to normal next month

Round 3:

After his opponent fell, Damon moved quickly over to the last cultist in the southeast corner of the room, sliding deftly behind Hallvardr and narrowly avoiding the grasping vines of Stella's spell. Using the momentum of his quick movement, Damon brought his sword up from below and slashed at the right side of the cultist's neck!

Sunrise Sword Attack: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (7) + (3) + 5 = 15
Sunrise Sword Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Nearly missing, Damon felt the blessing of the Drunk God guide his blade into a powerful slash at the evil creature.

Hallvardr follows up on his own...

1d20 + 4 + 1d4 ⇒ (20) + 4 + (2) = 26 for 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 8) + 2 = 14

2/3 spell slots remaining

Roscoe crossed the room darting between Stella and Damon to stand beside Stella at the door he takes a precious moment to look back on the room the left knowing he was trusted with the rear guard. He turned back to the situation at hand and called on sacred fire to end the treat of the last cultist.

Sacred Flame: 1d8 ⇒ 6 DC 13 Dex

I'm assuming based off the groups rolls that the last cultist is dead

With the last cultist falling, Stella relaxed and released her spell causing the vines to wither and retreat back into the ground. She then looked around the room, and noticing the two doors, choose the northern one and tested it to see if it might be locked. "This hideout is much larger than I expected." she said to the group as she approached the door.

Hallvardr takes a little time to look over the corpses, then as he did before, prepare their bodies for the afterlife quickly.

May Gorum take you instead of your demon, and that you fight in the Glorious Fields of His Battles, he says by way of quick prayer.

Damon searched the bodies of the non-mongrel cultists, trying to see if he could garner any clues about their presence here.

Investigation: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6 (+2 if you want Perception)

Damon searched the bodies of the non-mongrel cultists, trying to see if he could garner any clues about their presence here.

[dice=Investigation]1d20+0 (+2 if you want Perception)

Damon appears to be doing a poor job of searching the bodies, if anyone wants to give it a shot themselves.

Round 5 Actions:

"Behind you!" cried Damon as he looked behind Stella in shock at the large creature entering the room. Rushing up to her defense, Damon moved up quickly to Stella's side and used the momentum of his charge to attempt a deep thrust at the massive tiefling cultist!

Sunrise Sword Attack: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (8) + (2) + 5 = 15
Sunrise Sword Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Roscoe's faced washed white for a moment, "That's the biggest Tiefling I have ever seen." He recoverd, "Big target. Little help here." He pointed his fingers as if directing the radiant fire to strike the tiefling.

Sacred Flame: 1d8 ⇒ 2 DC 12 Dex

Kokam had watched her companions dispatch what was seemingly the last cultist, before the huge tiefling cultist entered the room.

Kokam ran forward with Damon, calling out to Stella, Get back!"

She arrives too quick for Stella to retreat, jabbing with her spear at the woman who accompanies the larger cutlist...

Attack, spear, two handed: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (19) + 5 + (4) = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Her first strike hits the woman squarely on the side of the head. Quickly reversing her hold on the spear, Kokam struck from the other side, targeting the woman's torso...

Attack, spear, two handed, bonus: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (19) + 5 + (1) = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

...her spear impacting solidly. With such success, Kokam exulted in her ability, digging deep into that new well of energy to strike again...

Using 1 Ki, for flurry of blowss
Attack, spear, two handed, bonus: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (11) + 5 + (2) = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

...her spear spinning, seemingly disorientating the woman, the haft of her spear catching the woman square in the center of the chest.

Hallvardr screams a litany of rage and pain at the Large abomination before he also moves into an attack position on the same giant tiefling, a worthy foe!

Wisdom DC13 vs. damage and disadvantage on next attack: 1d4 ⇒ 2

What a pity Kokam! Without those 1's Idve laid money the cultist would be dead

Right as Stella was about to turn the door knob, the it burst open and she was greet by another cultist and her unusually large friend. Before she could even react, she heard Kokam yell and less than a moment later saw the monk fly in and attack the woman cultist with a fierce barrage of strikes. Realizing that she'd be in the way of the others, who she saw were fast approaching, Stella used Kokam's attack as her chance to escape the gigantic tiefling's grasp and move to far end of the room, preparing herself to join in on the fight from afar.

Take the Disengage action and move to the far side of the table

Blessed Wisdom Saving Throw: 1d20 + 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + (4) + 2 = 18

The cloying vapors sought to sap Damon's will to fight, but with the strength of his devotion to Iomedae and the blessing of Roscoe's Drunken God, he was able to fight off the magic effects. Reasoning that someone able to do such powerful magic must be stopped at once, Damon stepped over closer to her and tried a powerful downward slash, hoping to coordinate with Kokam's effective strikes.

"Die, servant of evil!" cried Damon as he brought his sword crashing towards the cultist spellcaster.

Blessed Sunrise Sword Attack: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (16) + (3) + 5 = 24
Sunrise Sword Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Wisdom: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Roscoe felt the sluggish energy wash over him. He grit his teeth and dropped a sling stone in his sling and fought through the malaise to send it toward the tiefling.

Sling Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Sling Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Wisdom Saving Throw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

The dark smoke from the cultist raced toward Stella, attempting to sap her strength and block her from the light. Before that could happen though she sensed the overwhelming presence of Desna as her Star Map began to glow furiously. Knowing what she needed to do, she channeled the energy into herself and initiated a startling change: She began to glow! First dimly, then brightly after a momentarily blinding flash of light; small star-like motes of light appearing across her body. With the power of the stars flowing through her and cultist's power dispelled, she turned toward the woman, and miming pulling the string of a bow, released a star-like projectile at her. Unfortunately still getting accustomed to this new ability, her attack missed wide of her target.

Star Map Bonus Actiom Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Action: Activate Starry Form. Bonus Action: Bonus Action Attack at the woman Cultist

Blessed Wisdom Save 1d20 + 0 + 1d4 ⇒ (7) + 0 + (1) = 8

Looking at Turn 64, I was 5-6 sq. Away from the Big one last turn..., well able to be in either attacking sq. Not sure why I am outside Melee range now?

The evil magic takes hold, the darkness acting like thick viscous tar... but fouler, and grating to the soul. AC back to 12

Hallvardr felt his limbs stiffen... but he decided to spend what effort he could on attacking the large enemy! Grasping his hilt in two hands, he swings...

1d20 + 4 + 1d4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (4) = 14 for 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Cant all be winners...

Looking at Turn 64, I was 5-6 sq. Away from the Big one last turn..., well able to be in either attacking sq. Not sure why I am outside Melee range now?

OOC: Stella was in the position just north of you and she moved away after you moved. You're still within melee range if you use your move to step one square to the north.

So be it... move me in.

Save at end of turn... 1d20 + 0 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 0 + (1) = 9

Damn these demon blighted curses!, he cries, still in the spells grip...

May Gorum smile on me next turn ;)

The lumbering tiefling's strike against Damon opened itself up to a quick attack by Kokam...

Sentinel Reaction Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (4) = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

...but the beast's tough hide blunted her blow to his ribs.

Wisdom: 1d20 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (17) + 2 + (4) = 23

The noxious fumes from the Demon Priestess' mouth flowed over Kokam, she coughed, feeling it seeking to enervate her , slow her. With a shake of her head and limbs, Kokam fought off the effects of the smoke, striking out with her spear...

Attack, spear, two hands: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (2) = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Attack, spear, two hands, bonus: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (11) + 5 + (2) = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Her first jab at the woman's neck was easily pushed aside by the cultist, but it seems the woman forgot Kokam's quickness and soon felt the point of Kokam's spear pierce her leg.

Wis: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Free of the effects of the slow. Roscoe darts under the table and out the other side. He sends a sling stone toward the tiefling.

Sling Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Heavily injured and with a companion falling, Damon struggled with whether or not he had time to heal himself or Hallvardr--no, he had to trust in his friends and keep attacking that cultist spellcaster before she killed them all!

Damon swung again at the female cultist, praying that Iomedae guided his blade to strike true against this resilient foe.

Blessed Sunrise Sword Attack: 1d20 + 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + (1) + 5 = 8
Sunrise Sword Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

(Ugh...should have healed himself instead...)

OOC: I actually forgot to roll the caster's concentration check. That's the second time I forgot although I was thinking about it while I was writing the turn today while it totally slipped my mind last time.

In any case, I am glad that Roscoe saved since he was the only one affected at this time.

Questions?

Game on!

I have 1 spell slot left and debating whether to heal Hallvaror (who could be knocked out again the next turn since healing word doesn't heal much) or Damon. What do people think?

Tough call; could go either way. If you wake up Hallvardr, though, he may get to use his action to heal someone as well instead of having to make a death save.

The Priestess chooses to attack Damon, her religious adversary, opening herself up to a quick strike by Kokam...

Sentinel reaction, spear, two handed: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (15) + 5 + (4) = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

.. hitting the woman square in the shoulder! Hopefully, the woman's unnatural skin doesn't blunt the damage!

As the battle continues, Kokam is dismayed when Stormbrow is felled by the big Tiefling, but she steels herself to do what she can to defeat their adversaries...

Attack, Spear, two handed: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (20) + 5 + (4) = 29 Crit!
Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3) + 3 = 9

Deftly twisting her wrists, Kokam completely defeats the cultist's defense and lands a powerful blow to her foe's stomach, whirling about to send another slash high to the woman's head...

Attack, Spear, two handed, bonus: 1d20 + 5 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (1) = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

...but the woman's quick reactions deflect her spear point to the side
