Dwarven Waraxe Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Dwarven Waraxe DMG: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10Thoric moves forward and grips the thick wooden handle of the ornate waraxe. Muttering something in dwarven under his breath he brings the two handed weapon down on the neck of the dog. Make it quick and painless
Thoric chops off its head.
Azig moves past the carcass of the dog to quickly listen at the doors. He whispers to the dog's body as he passes, "Good doggie. Sorry."
Neghed sighs heavily and looks at the dead dog on the floor. "Ya death was unneeded." He then casts a look at Thoric before shaking off his frustration and turning to follow Azig.
Daranil's posture softens for a moment. His frown could be made out, even through the mask and bandages. "Disappointing."
He continues to hold his weapon, idly twirling an arrow between his fingers. He briefly considers casting prestidigitation to give it a fancy color, but decides against it. Better to be ready in case Lamm actually starts taking this seriously.
Thoric moves forward and grips the thick wooden handle of the ornate waraxe. Muttering something in dwarven under his breath he brings the two handed weapon down on the neck of the dog. Make it quick and painless
As Thoric moves forward into the room, he sees that the dog is unconscious and signals Azig pointing to the desk. He then moves to stand besides the grouping of 3 doors incase something comes through. He stands defensively, shield between him and the doors.
I wonder just how many children Lamm has conscripted and abused over the years... I pray we can save all that remain.
Pak exits his hiding place to confront the approaching children. He keeps his crossbow lowered as not to frighten them outright before speaking.
"Now is not a good time to be here, young ones. It is not safe. I suggest you move along quietly."
He points his weapon down the street away from the fishery.
"If you have nowhere else to go, then simply wait outside across the way until I return. I will help you find proper food and shelter for the night."

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
You hear people approaching the doors, they are big steps. You might be able to surprise them if you use stealth.

"If you have nowhere else to go, then simply wait outside across the way until I return. I will help you find proper food and shelter for the night."
They hear your voice and trust you. Thus they stand across the street, waiting for you to give the clear.
Azig moves over by the door, hiding to let whoever enters pass by him.
Pak nods at the boys and smiles.
"Alright. Good. Be sure to warn any other kids who might return to keep out as well. With Abadar's blessing, I'll be back soon."
With that, he enters the fishery to rejoin his companions and closes the door (or what's left of it) behind him. Pak then quickly takes cover under the desk, amid the ratty furs and readies himself for an attack.
Neghed moves as quietly as he can to be opposite of Azig, hoping whoever passes comes between them. He nods to Azig to signal he is ready and he grips his axe. I doubt we'd be so lucky ta knockout who ever is coming in one blow.
Stealth is an option... but the best form of stealth works with a proper distraction!
Daranil gets an idea. He casually pulls a chair out from the desk and takes a seat. He crosses one leg over the other, relaxes his posture, and idly begins to run his fingertip along the string of his bow. A shame the dog didn't take to him; The scene would have been perfect if he could be petting it.
The elf cocks his head to the side, looking at whoever enters. "Oh, hello." He lets out a soft chuckle. "Can Lamm come out and play?"
The door opens and in comes three thugs. One is a half-orc, another is a human, and another is a halfling.
"Bloo!" says the human upon seeing the dog. "What have you done with him?"
Azig steps up from his hidden location and stabs at whichever one stops between himself and Neghed. "He's better off than you will be!"
Neghed bellows as he steps up opposite Azig and swings his axe at the opponent. "Da dog was spared da axe."

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 Actual attack since we should have flanking and/or be attacking against flat-footed AC if he didn't notice me. ??
damage if that hits?: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 I think the rule is 1-1 does 1 non-lethal?Possible Crit?: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17
damage if that hits?: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 LOL! Pathetic damage and this is for a crit!?! That's why I aid another!
Unsure if the intention is to start combat or in what initiative order we should be going, so feel free to fit this in where is should go.

greataxe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12; damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Entering Rage and Attacking, though it seems my luck may have run out earlier.
+2 for flanking? And possibly against flat-footed AC? Might hit.
I can go with that, he's flatfooted and +2 for flanking.
Daranil stands and shrugs. "Well if you're going to just ignore me, then I suppose I'll not waste my talent on you."
The elf decides to take an idle pot shot at one of the enemies not yet tied up in melee.

shortbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
That's a miss.
Not being stealthful, Thoric isn’t even sure if that is possible, he brings down his axe on the closest thug.

The three thugs attack Neghed.

Seeing the thugs surround Neghed, Thoric tries to even the odds to move into flanking position.
Initiative: Round 1
Thoric 18
Thugs 10
Azig 8
Daranil 7
When the opportunity arises, Daranil will glance across the batlefield and attempt to let an arrow fly.
Pak fires his crossbow at the nearest thug.
Knowing that his rapier has little effect Pak attacks to distract this time.
Unfortunately he even fails to get the thugs attention this time.
One thug attacks Neghed.
Another attack from a thug penetrates Pak's armor and causes a grievous wound.
DM: The new players can roll their initiatives and join combat as soon as possible.
Bridgette kicks door a closed door on the opposite side of the room and seeing a Thug she recognized from her childhood and takes one of her daggers and throws it to them while still having her Machete in her right hand
Lem crouches behind his shield to wait for an opportune moment to strike.
Karinna enters with the others, her rapier drawn. She is expecting to find Lamm, after listening to the ruckus outside.

Karinna enters with the others, her rapier drawn. She is expecting to find Lamm, after listening to the ruckus outside.
Karinna, you didn't find Lamm, but three of his lackeys in combat with the others. After combat, you can do a Perception check to try and find him.
Karinna moves closer, and seeing that Pak about to fall, steps in to stab at the thug who dealt the blow. She attempts to flank, if possible.

That was a hit. Barely. Very precise hit.
The masked elf cocks his head to the side out of curiosity. "What's this? Does Little Lam's unending generosity earn him more visitors? Fascinating. But the stage is getting a little crowded... so...."
As the newcomers burst on the scene; “Crowded stage or no, if they have weapons to go against Lamm they are welcomed in my tome!” Thoric says as he pivots to provide more strategic footing to take down these foes.
With a thunk of his war axe against the thug, he can feel that it struck true but not as effective as he would have liked. They must be put down he thinks to himself.

Thoric, you managed to wound one. The thugs know they are out numbered and begin to retreat.
Karinna gives the others a quick evaluating look to determine they are all apparently on the same side. "Introductions can wait," she smirks, and moves to keep the retreating bandit she wounded flanked.

Would you like to roll intimidate, too?
Intimidate: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 = 14 Add Inspiration: 1d6 ⇒ 3 So 17?
Two of them aren't intimidated, but they run anyway. You have no quarter with them.
Daranil lowers his bow. "Good. It's better the stage hands realize their place and go fetch the star of the show."
"On that note." The garishly dressed elf pivots on a heel, ending with an exaggerated bow towards the new arrivals. He speaks clearly through the bandages that cover his mouth. "Welcome to the show. You're just in time: we are playing the part of cosmic karma coming to pay a visit to our dear friend Lamm. In this once-in-his-lifetime performance, he will finally reap the fruits of his tireless work. Are you, by chance, fellow actors? Are you as inspired by Lamm's work as we?"
