Cayde Shadowstrider's page

Do what you need to and come back to the boards when you have time to play!

Hoping they got the drop on the goblins, Cayde takes a defensive posture (dodging) as he lays in wait for the goblins to emerge.

(Does Cayde know he was spotted? I was hoping he would beat their passive perceptions, but just his bad luck they were being cautious!)

"Let me go past the southern passageway and fall on them from behind once they are through. Who is with me?" whispers Cayde intensely. He moves past the intersection and hides, hoping to spring a classic hammer and anvil ambush!

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Cayde will follow stealthily at a 20 foot distance.

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Let's try this passage to the north from the ledge," suggests Cayde, wishing to clear level by level if possible. He moves part of the way there to show his intention, though he keeps a careful watch for any activity below.

Cayde stops at the pole and sends a javelin after the trailing goblin...Then he moves back to join the others.

Javelin attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Javelin damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Cayde hurries down the tunnel behind the fleeing goblins, trying to catch up to them if possible without exposing himself to their own ambush. If he can catch up to the last one, he will swing at it with his hammer!

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

(Tunnel not lighting up, so hard to tell on Roll20 if he can catch up or not)

Already in the hallway, Cayde rushes up to engage the lead goblin, moving in far enough to allow room for Adonis to reach in as well.

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Coordinating with Adonis, Cayde prepares to fight once more. He secretly hopes there will be a lot of them this time and he will get a chance to fly into his murderous rage!

(Dodge action until goblins get close)

Cayde moves back out of the room entrance and watches the unexplored tunnel, ready to defend if more foes come to investigate the sounds of battle.

Cayde moves in to engage the closest goblin and swings his magical warhammer.

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Cayde moves into the room to attack the goblin on the southern side of the entrance. He invites Adonis to move into line above him (directly to the north) if he would like to provide a united front.

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Whammer Dammage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Cayde moves up and prepares for battle, trying to be stealthy as he approaches.

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

(Down the hole!)

Cayde also follows along, staying alert and quiet as best he can:

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Cayde follows along, weapon at the ready, behind the scouts.

Cayde searches the food stores, grabbing a snack as he goes.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

”I feel we might want to clear this level first, especially if we need to beat a hasty retreat,” encourages Cayde, ”But stealthy scouting is always good.”

”I have one more fierce battle in me before I will need to eat and rest in safety. I say we go forward once more and hit them while they are still scrambling—but beware of traps as we approach their stronghold,” says Cayde.

Picking up the bodies and carrying them back into the room they just left, Cayde says, ”No reason to leave a warning out in the open that we are invading the goblin’s territory.”.

His action, coincidently, also makes it easier to search both the heave goblin fighters as well as the standard scouts from the last two battles.

Cayde is trying to get adjacent so AOO and sneak attack are more likely.

Cayde moves and dashes again, catching up to the goblin. He hopes either his friends will take it out or he will get an opportunity attack as it likely continues to run away.

(Traveling with no roll20 access)

Cayde keeps up the pressure, running and dashing after the goblin headed for the rope bridge.

Cayde takes a shot at the departing goblin!

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Warhammer Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

He then chases after the fleeing goblins!

(Away from laptop for a week or so, no Roll20 access)

Cayde will chase after the last one in line. If he can reach it in a single move (30 feet), he will make an attack with his warhammer.

[dice=Warhammer Attack]1d20+6
[dice=Damage]1d8+4

(If he couldn't reach, he would have continued chasing, using a dash to close the distance. I didn't make that clear--my fault)

Cayde continues to chase down the retreating goblins, trying to get close enough to swing at one even as they keep running.

Cayde will chase after the last one in line. If he can reach it in a single move (30 feet), he will make an attack with his warhammer.

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Cayde strikes out at the adjacent goblin, closing ranks a bit with Adonis to help hold the front line.

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Warhammer Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Cayde rushes out to support Baheera, hammering at the adjacent goblin with his magic weapon!

+1 Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Popping back out, Cayde throws another javelin at the nearest wounded goblin, then, goes back into his spot, looking to guard the rear of the party as needed.

Throw Javelin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Cayde darts out and throws a javelin at the lead goblin in the southern tunnel, then he moves back into place to guard their backtrail.

Javelin attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage on a hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Cayde moves to the indicated position to block the tunnel, dropping into a defensive stance. ”I hope you know what you are doing,” he growls, preparing for the next attack.

(Move into place and Dodge action to give attacks against him this round disadvantage)

Cayde moves into the room and engages the nearest goblin, though it took all of his time to get there and he doesn't have time to swing at it with his hammer yet this turn.

Nevertheless he threatens the creature with his hammer and prepares his shield to block any incoming blows.

Are the goblins off to the right the same ones we saw before who we sent the familiar off to distract?

Still in the throes of rage, Cayde starts back up the hallway, looking for more goblins to kill. If there is one within his movement range, he charges up and swings mightily with his warhammer!

(If he can get to within 10 feet he lashes out with his barber tail. If neither, he holds back and allows his rage to subside)

Gaining in confidence, Cayde steps up and swings recklessly at the remaining front line goblin (#2), his hammer flashing briefly in the firelight!

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Warhammer Attack Advantage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Warhammer Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

(Reckless Attack gives opponents advantage to hit)
reaction to block if hit: 1d8 ⇒ 3 added to AC

Cayde keeps swinging, aiming at the same one he hit last time.

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Added Crit Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Snarling at his miss, Cayde rages on, slamming at the Goblin before him!

Magic Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Raging Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

AC bonus against first attack that hits: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Seeing the formidable force arrayed against them, Cayde can only hope the goblins down the other passage are otherwise occupied. He gives no battle cry, but instead a wide smile that belies the rage in his heart. A spiny tail grows as he becomes more feral, with a stinger ready to strike or parry as need be.

(Rage and Form of the Beast/Tail, move up and attack #2)

With his magical hammer, Cayde aims for a fleshy bit of the goblin before him, hoping to take it down quickly without too much noise.

Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Tail reaction to block first incoming hit, add to AC: 1d8 ⇒ 4

In his attempt to be quiet, Cayde succeeds by the simple expedient of missing altogether in his strike.

Cayde whispers urgently, ”Now is our chance! Let us attack the heavily-armored goblins while the others are distracted!”

His shield and hammer at the ready, Cayde moves quickly and stealthily towards the hopefully-unprepared goblins!

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Excellent idea, Tekumbray," responds Cayde quietly, "Maybe try and draw off the ones near the exit? If the heavily-armored ones follow, we attack them from behind. If they stay put, we rush in and hit them hard--hopefully before the ones near the exit return."

Whispering, Cayde says, ”Perhaps if someone can draw off the ones in the chamber near the exit from outside, then we only have to fight one group at a time. Did they have ranged weapons?”

Shield and hammer at the ready, Cayde waits as still as possible for the stealthy ones to investigate the threat ahead. He tenses, ready to hold the choke point at the tunnel intersection when the fun begins.

Taking a deep breath and preparing to venture forth once again, Cayde says, "So, are we headed down the current path our back and taking the another fork? If I am thinking about our orientation correctly, forward may take us to the chamber with the goblins near the exit."

(Cayde would be up to full with 8 Goodberries)

Short Rest Spend 2HD: 2d12 + 6 ⇒ (2, 11) + 6 = 19

(Do we not have any healers? Uh oh!)

Cayde asks, ”Can someone heal Tek, and maybe someone else keep watch?” as he moves to lean against the secret door, holding it closed with his weight. Soon the injured Barbarian is resting and focusing on recovering his strength.

Coming down from his rage, Cayde sees the sorry state of his allies, and Tekumbray in particular. Rushing over, he tries to stabilize his friend!

Medicine: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Satisfied that everyone is still alive, Cayde shepherds his friends into the room behind the secret door, throws out the dead goblins, and shuts the door, saying, “We must rest.”

Cayde swings again, his rage pushing him on to crush this menace or die trying as it seems to be weakening!

(Reckless Attack!)

Reckless Warhammer Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Advantage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Cayde slams into the horror with his warhammer, splintering its shell with a powerful blow!

Cayde continues to rage, dodging and absorbing blow after blow, then replying with a powerful swing at the horror!

Reaction to add to AC on the first time hit: 1d8 ⇒ 2
