One-Eye is perhaps the most fearsome and capable combatant the heroes have ever encountered. The monstrous warrior fights with Alalla's skill, Aribeth's fury, and Zenithral's precision. And accompanying every blow is that tremendous thunder! Still, his thick skin and thicker armor begin to show numerous wounds and holes.
The fight will soon be over... but will any survive it?
One-Eye blocks an attack from Alalla, catching her sword on the haft of his spear. For a moment they glare at each other, weapons locked, muscles straining (One-Eye burns a Legendary Resistance to pass his save vs Al's fear). But then his head snaps forward and down, headbutting her from above and denting her helm (Al takes 19 bludgeoning and 20 thunder). She staggers backward and loses her footing on the ice, tumbling over the splintered railing. One of her hands catches the edge, however, keeping her from falling onto the frozen River Styx below. But it's a tenuous hold, and Alalla's muscles ache from catching Zenithral and Halla earlier today. She hears One-Eye's heavy footsteps approaching, even as she feels her grip begin to slip...
Al failed her strength save. If she can't turn it into a pass, she falls down to the ice (though it looks like she passes her Int save if she does fall!) If she passes, she'll be able to pull herself up onto the ship again, no movement expended.
And then Aribeth appears in the air above the orclopes, landing on his back and driving her weapons home. He twists and bucks, trying to shake the half-elf free. At the same time, Zenithral's arrows slam home, nearly driving One-Eye over the ship's edge. But One-Eye isn't finished yet. He reaches up and grabs Aribeth's arm, then flings her off the ship once more (After resistance, Aribeth takes 8 bludgeoning and 3 thunder, and then 11 psychic. Her memory drain penalty increases to a d6! Al takes the same amount of all damage three types.). Turning, One-Eye hurls his spear Zenithral's way, puncturing through both arcane wards and magical armor (Zenithral takes 29 piercing and 24 thunder damage).
Not sparing a moment, the brute leaps from the ship, not even bothering with a running start... and lands upon Aribeth, who would surely be dead from the impact if not for her own magical armor and Alalla's protective spell (After resistance, Aribeth takes 13 bludgeoning and 8 thunder. Al takes the same amount). The paladin crunches a crater into the dark ice as One-Eye grinds his foot down on her. The thrown spear returns to his hand then and he raises it high, ready to slam it down through Aribeth's chest. He lets out a roar of conquest, daring anyone to challenge him!
Alalla passes the save against fear! Aribeth is immune to fear. Zenithral fails the save, and so is frightened! While frightened of One-Eye, Zen's speed is 0 and he begins to fall... and once he touches the ice he will fail his save and take 22 psychic damage
Still hanging from her one hand, Alalla notices an image in the ice below her, a memory sucked away from Aribeth. Orcs rampage and kill Aribeth's friends and family. Fire, blood, rage... This is how orcs will be, should Alalla fail today.
Wounded, frightened, and falling, Zenithral almost feels the ice reaching up to greet him. It reminds him of the darkest part of his life, when he was similarly held captive by fear as a leader of Bryn Shander's militia. But he has come so far since then, grown so much. Will fear cause him to fail as it did once before, or will he continue on in spite of it?
If Zen can slow his fall, he will be able to take his actions next turn before he hits the ice.
