He follows up with a swing from his greatsword. Against the spirit if its closes in, or against the elemental if it does not
Grellik will use shield if it would help him
Grellik laughs"We're Bogsharks, foul apparition! We take what we want--and we don't give a damn what you are owed!"
Grellik steels himself and lets out a guttural battlecry as he draws upon his inner reserves. He is using second wind , activating investiture of stone, and using action surge to take another action.
Grellik nods at Ozz "Good, I'll keep this monstrosity busy. Deal him a blow for me!" Grellik circles around the elemental to S8 and swings with all his might. (taking -5/+10 from GWM for both)
anyway, Grellik will use shield if it hits him.
Grellik whips his sword back almost without thinking as the bird flits away.
Grellik says "I'll keep that suggestion in mind, Sister, if get the space to act one it!" He attacks the elemental with his great sword, using inspiration for his damage if it connects. He will not use GWM on the first attack he will attack again without GWM also
Grellik will use bardic inspiration on the weapon damage for the melee attack if the lightning lure connects
Ah, shit, I forgot it. And I went into the turn thinking, "remember that you have inspiration!" /facepalm
"Of course, Triss. Time to show him what happens when you make the Bogsharks your foes!" Grellik rushes up to P-6 (which I know is likely in save radius) and throws his hand out, fingers splayed as golder amror briefly materializes along his left arm and a chain of lightning launches toward Amberglow (STR save DC 15 or he is pulled 10ft toward me and takes lightning damage. if successful:
Grellik grins and his opponent is flung toward him. He pulls back his sword even as Amberglow is in motion. As soon as he is in range he swings (using War Magic to attack as a bonus action after cantrip) "There! That's a start! Perhaps its time you listened to your underling, Amberglow!" if it fails:
Grellik curses."I suppose it wont be that easy!"
Grellik will use absorb elements against any incoming attack that looks like its a major source of elemental damage (use your judgement) and shield against a physical attack that seems powerful, otherwise he will not use any spells
Grellik creeps down the hallway, his hopes dashed as he hears Trissae shout. "It appears that the battle is joined. Too late for stealth now--we must hurry. If it is possible, I will allow your parlay, Frostheight, but I can make no guarantee of that now." My nomination as team leader may have expired without my knowledge, it appears. Bargrivyek's flail! We had better be right about Brundon! he will no longer sneak, and enter the room, ending at q-12. upon entering the room, . "He is drawing power from The Bowl, 'Lord.' I think that your words will have no effect on him, though I will not silence you." he will use Shield against an incoming attack by Brundon or a Large opponent he says to Trissae, eyeing Amberglows' wounds "I heard your shouting. What has happened?"
Grellik looks around after talking to Frostheight and swears to see Adrien gone "By the Gods, my words were truer than I knew. Come, we had better get down there if you want a chance to reason with your Lord." And he will follow Adrien, as quietly as he can
Grellik give Marr a disappointed look, and turns to go down the cellar. "Well, if you find your courage, you know where we will be." Ozz's assessment pains him some, but he does not contest it."Aye, it may be. But still, he has helped his friends, in the way he was able."
"By all means, Lord, do as you will. I have no desire to kill an innocent man, if indeed Amberglow is not the same limping man we seek. Though make haste, I am not sure how well I can restrain Mr. Cavell, if the situation starts to smell of something less than honest." When they reach the room, Grellik will creep slightly forward to look over the papers, though he does not touch them.
and that's why we don't roll for HP XD
I get +1 proficiency mod(so I guess the stealth check is a 14 total), of course, like everybody, and Indomitable (re-roll failed save 1/long rest)
Grellik gives an 'are you serious?' look toward the direction of the voice, but he will take the music off nonetheless. he sets it on he bench and addresses Frostheight again. "I have never seen him myself, but Adrien might have a better idea. In any case, he is correct. This building is the source of the plague, and if he is responsible for the illusion engulfing this mansion, and also the only other occupant, then he and Brundon must be one and the same." "As for you, Wizard, after the remarkable insight and judgement your lord here has shown in his dealings and attitudes....I would make up my own mind about whether or not to join us in the cellar. My magic is meager in comparison to a pure student of the arcane, and of a narrow focus--we could use your talents." "And let me apologize for not acknowledging your return, Trissae. I take it your foray into life as a beast went well? I see no other protocol than to cautiously approach, allowing Mr Cavell to employ his particular talents to lend us the upper hand" Grellik will give Adrien a decent lead and sneak behind
I will get a level up post posted later, and I'll go ahead and roll for my final HP
Grellik laughs harshly"Ah yes, not hiding indeed! Well, it is understandable. Adrien is a fierce opponent, and without Farlyse in the room, and ones foes bound, what is a poor aristocrat to do?" "If you are not here either to meet with or to oppose Brundon, then what are you here for? Oh and lets have the layout of this mansion. We may have to search individually if what you are saying is true."
Grellik nods to Ozz. "Trissae is right--of anyone here he may be best able to aid us--and this whole misbegotten burg." He snaps back to Marr. "Wizard, we have no time to waste--do you know where the Vessel is? This city does not have much time left!" Grellik cautiously makes his way to the piano, to see if anything new is apparent from a closer vantage point.
dream: As he regains consciousness, he groans slightly as fatigue and the awareness of his body set in.
Grellik claps his hand over Adrien's and smiles"Right! No choice at all! Welcome back, Adrien Cavell!"
Grellik grits his teeth as the revenant desperately tries to cling to its target."What manner of creature, and how...no matter. A question for afterward, if there are any answers to be had."
Cavell's dream: "Begone, Spirit! he does not belong to you!" As Adrien speaks to him Grellik turns his head toward him "I am Grellik! But well you know me, Adrien! We have fought together, bled together! We are Bogsharks--your family! And we need you now! Come to us!"
"Hruggek's fang!" Grellik stares in shock as the spirit twists around to face him. As he feels himself start to be pulled in he grits his teeth. "Watch my body, Wizard." And he surrenders himself to the spirit world Adrien's World: Seeing the cruelty of Adrien's father, Grellik's heart aches for his friend and comrade, and his anger burns at twisted 'nobility,' but they have no time to dwell on that.
"Adrien! There you are! This is no time for you to be reminiscing about the past! Mareschal, Cavell..."In the spirit world, he pulls his mask across his face. "Who the hell cares! You're a Shark! And your true family needs you! Come and let us finish what we came to this misbegotten place to do!"
[ooc]Yeah, he definetly still wants to.)
Grellik grins and rushes past Farlyse to see whats going on in the other room. "Well, I'll leave you two to get reacquainted. Try not to rough her up too bad Trissae, though of course, sometimes things happen..." Assuming he sees Adrien fighting Frostheight and heard Marr's exclamation he curses under his breath and rushes Adrien. If he has time to, he will try to grapple him, otherwise, he'll position himself as much "between them" as he can
Grellik is confused, and raises an eyebrow. he turns to Marr, opening his arms in a shrug. "I know not what might be preventing you from seeing the tumult outside, though I assure you, that the signs of battle you see on me are quite real. We fought our way with the Shields under the command of Captain Wen." he shifts to face Farlyse again. "There would be little point in me making all this up, and if I wished you harm, then I would have descended upon the wizard using the skills of my race, rather then approaching you as I have done. But as I said, we are running out of time. One can aid the afflicted, as we have done with one of our own, but the only thing that will stop it is retrieving Sszatcur's Bowl, which means finding and dispatching the limping man, Brundon." he eases into a ready posture. "Now, tell me--will you both work with me, or shall we do battle? There is no more use for further deliberation, I am afraid..."
Keep it cool, Dolson! Grellik nods at Dolson Marr, while keeping his eyes on Farlyse "Indeed, Wizard. Brundon is the name of the man harnessing the Bowl, and the source of this scourge. This mansion is the center of it all--he must be here. If you need further evidence, look no further than the afflicted and elementals congregating like no other place in the city." "As we speak, the Shields are holding back that tide, along with some of my brethren. check outside if you wish. Though act quickly. I have little time to waste. The only way to stop this is to separate the Bowl from those that would use it. If I cannot find allies here, I must advance. Through the both of you, if necessary." "I must add that if your master is unaware of Brundon's presence here, he is in danger. Though I do wonder, if that is the case, why you all are here at all." Indeed, it is too much a coincidence. If she truly does not know, perhaps he is working with Brundon secretly. Or, now that I think of it..I have never seen Brundon myself. Perhaps they are one and the same? It seems mad, but that seems to be an exceedingly common characteristic these days
Grellik motions for Adrien to wait, then steps into the dining room. "Well, I believe your assessment is correct, Wizard. So, then, we must retrieve the Bowl as soon as possible to stop this thing." Grellik holds his off hand up. "Relax, Farlyse, though I would very much love to avenge my comrades treatment under your gentle care, I am here to help. Unless you have aligned yourself with Brundon and his mad plot, in which case...well, its truly wonderful when desire and need coincide." he gives her a wide, toothy grin. she may not be able to see it, but I imagine his body language is clear enough.
Grellik nods to Adrien when he gives him the rundown on Brundon. "Good to know. I'll try to save the big hits until he has worn down his magic." When they begin to move further into the building, he whispers, "They know we are coming, but he may not know our exact location." He moves stealthily, approaching the doors at the end of the corridor. As he creeps along he realizes that this is all likely useless unless Trissae changes back.
Grellik wheels his horse around, calling to Cavell "Time to make good on our end of this operation. I'll trust you to keep up!" he spurs his mount to the courtyard, noting with regret that Jasper seems to have fallen. He dismounts and pats the horse, reminding himself that the poor beast really deserves a name. "All right, then. time for us to part for now. stay here and stay safe until my return." He calls to Trissae in a jovial tone, "As impressive as that form is, I think its outlived its usefulness--I hardly think you can even enter, much less fight inside!" Horse ends up with upper left square in H21 and Grellik at K-25, in front of the doors
[oo]had a post eaten, but I'll get a replacement up tonight[/ooc]
Grellik swings his sword down on the elemental, trying to crack it open. If he hits easily then he will use greatsword mastery to take -5 on the second blow
he will have the horse perform the dodge action
Grellik grimaces, more from pride than his wounds. He shoves the dazer off of him, and rolls to his feet (using 15ft to stand from prone), running toward the horse, and hopping on(using dash action to get the movement). "Alright, then, lets try this again, shall we?" He spurs the horse on, carefully maneuvering between the dazers in his path (using disengage action for the horse) coming to engage the elemental from the other side of Adrien.
Grellik is surprised by Trissae at first. He begins to protest "Feng meant this for you. I am sure, that at the right time, you will know when you should..Dammit, Cavell!"He is interrupted by Adrien engaging the enemy ahead. he sighs, and tucks the stone in a pouch for later retrieval. He smiles at Triss"Well, I have been wrong before, and we can hardly argue about it now." Grellik will move until he catches up with Adrien then he'll dismount--he doesn't want to engage the enemy on horseback. He will not use any reaction spells.
sure, Tease can have gotten it. Oh and I can either tactics it turn by turn or we can do a general scenario situation. Either is fine for me
--In the Storm--
After they survey the scene at the site, he says, "Sargent Silvers, you have certainly gotten to know us quite well. I fear you will be a fearsome opponent in the future. Our skills are indeed more suited to striking at the heart of the beast, as it were. We will leave this work to you." He dismounts and cries out. Alright, Sharks! we're going in! We'll take that mansion and drive our teeth right into Brundon's neck!" Up goes the shark scarf, though he remains unmasked--no point in that now. "For our Comrades!" he draws his sword. "For the Boss! Bloody hell, for Yartar too! Bog Sharks, move out!" He pumps his sword in the air and begins to advance on the forces arrayed in the courtyard.
Mother's bracer: Advantage on Swim Checks while wearing
Grellik will avail himself of any AC14 or greater armor that is available recheck his gear, and nod to his crew whem they are all ready, steeling himself for what he hopes is the final confrontation.
Grellik nods in the acknowledgement. "Truly, it did feel better, I will not deny it..." As his voice trails off, he claps Adrien on the shoulder, and stands. He says to Jasper, "Yes, I see you. You'll be able to acquit your master soon enough. I believe the readying is nearly done." He begins to go off to ready himself for battle in quiet (checking his equipment, making sure everything is in order, and preparing his mind), then stops. He hands Adrien everything that Grimgar gave him. "I think this properly belongs to you, Adrien. Grimgar thought it was damning, though for the life of me, I cannot see why. We all have our pasts. In any case, I might recommend burning and burying that--its only the records of a dead man, and I am glad you are alive here with us." and he will go to a quieter corner to prepare.
