Chapter 1: Slavery

Jan 20, 2019 4:00 am
The past few days have been a blur. You’ve traveled with your hands shackled and a pulsating band around your neck. You arrive to a city. The hustle and bustle is immense. Eventually you arrive to the town center where you and 40 others stand. Mostly humans and elves, races of all kinds are here, including some you’ve never seen. A man walks around to each of you, pointing towards you and describing how you came to be here. Eventually you’re moved again, this time into the back of a large cart with 7 others. The sun goes down but the cart never stops. Eventually as the sun begins to peek over the horizon, a large gate comes into sight. The cart enters and you’re all forced out. Guards line you up in a straight line as a dwarf walks down the line.

Hmph, this the best they had. He says to a large half-orc.

For the coin you gave, Lanista Petrare The half-orc replies.

Well, let’s see what they can do.

The half-orc splits you into two groups. The four ow you vs two elves and two humans. He then throws a blue cube onto the ground in the middle of you. The ground lights up blue in a perfect 30’x30’ grid. He then dumps a box of random wooden weapons in the middle.

You heard the Lanista! Fight!

Roll initiative!

If you’re grabbing a weapon, you can use a full action to get the one you want or a bonus action to grab one quickly. If you grab quickly, roll a 1d6 to determine what you get. 1= missed grab, 2= quarter staff, 3 = dagger, 4 = short sword, 5 = spear, 6 = club.

So how do you as a GM run your initiative for PCs and NPCs? I have been it both where you wait your turn. In the tracking and then I have been in the kind where everyone before NPCs goes in whatever order there on. I was just curious how you preferred it.

OOC:
I prefer straight order like we are at a table, but if it slows the gameplay, we'll adjust.

Conwan rushes to the middle and grabs a weapon quickly, maneuvers himself between the weapons and the elves, and assumes a defensive stance.

The two elves take their time to pick out weapons. The first one grabs a sword, the second a staff.

Alyndin rushes forward and grabs the spear before either human can grab it.

The first human rushes forward, attempting to grapple Alyndin

Is there then one of each weapon? If there is I will do option one if not option 2. Just let me know which I do
[ +- ] Option 1
[ +- ] Option 2

OOC:
There are multiples of each.
Alyndin, you need to roll to contest my grapple.

The firbolg scoops up a few stones from the dirt, muttering an incantation. With a flick of the wrist, he hurls one of the softly glowing pebbles at impossible speed towards the elf holding the staff, as he circles to put his allies between himself and the other gladiators.
OOC:
I cast Magic Stone as a bonus action, using my action to attack the staff-wielding elf with one of the stones. Then I'll move as above - putting allies and the weapon pile between myself and as many enemies as possible, while keeping my distance.

The magic stone nails the elf right in the head and he drops to the dirt.

The second human runs forward and punches the firbolg.

The actual attack should have been +4 but either way it hits.

Conwan sees the elves grabbing weapons with violent intent and drops the club back into the pile. He rushes up to the one with the sword and lashes out with two punches.

Unarmed strike ×2 - (1d20+6, 1d4+4, 1d20+6, 1d4+4)

OOC:
Can I roll an acrobatics (+1) to evade the grapple or is it just athletics (+0)? For this one it doesn't matter but for future rolls?
