As Shedinn charges the two guards both swing their spears in order to prevent him from getting to the emporer.

Both guards swing their spears at Shedinn. While the dragonborn warrior can dodge one attack really well the second one stabs him right into the side of his torso heavily wounding Shedinn. in return Shedinn swings his weapon at the guard and creates a serious wound at its side.

Meanwhile Korrin shoots an arrow which seems to undo all the healing it got from the potion it drank

OOC:

Shedinn healed back to full health due to his second wind ability. Unfortunately the mounted guards prevented him from getting up to the emporer so I directed his attack to one of the guards.
One guard hit him and he hit the guard in return. Both were seriously wounded.

Annika and Melianne are up next as all the frog foot soldiers are dead.

Seeing the foot soldiers fall under the wave of enraged passengers of ill-fated "Jolly Wanderer", Melianne deems it safe to leave Raskell in Rada's care and focus completely on what is happening on the staircase to the throne. Fear grips her as she sees Shedinn stumble against the blow, blood splattering from the wound at his side. She doesn't even need to think as she calls for her magic again, directing it towards the dragonborn.

At the same time she moves slightly closer to the throne, her eyes once again finding the cowering emporer. "Is this how you rule, watching blood of your people steam all around? Not even doing anything to save your damned hide, even? You are not even a coward - a coward would've actually run! No, you are a pathetic, spineless slug - though that is an insult to slugs, if anything!" She hopes that Annika and the others can deal with the guards. Magic that the emporer possesses... it worries her more than spears.

Annika

Jul 13, 2021 3:13 pm

As the guards try to hold everyone back at the foot of the stairs, Annika stands further away and summons a ball of glowing green energy into her hand. When the Emperor peeks his head out, she releases it and it hurtles towards him, smashing a chunk out of the stone he's hiding behind.

Seeing Melianne rush to his aid and belittle the Emporer brought a smile to face
As Sheedin takes in the roundness of her face, with a voice as soft as a whisper, She end in says to Melianne.
Thank You,; If I did not know better, I would say you have the blood of a dragon running through your veins

Annika's eldritch blast misses entirely, hits the palace, showering the emporer in splinters.

Melianne's words seem to have hit a nerve with the emporer as it holds its head and shakes it.

Raskell, reinvigorated by Melianne's healing spell, stands up and is ready to strike once again.
Rada meanwhile charges the guards that Shedinn is currently occupying and strikes at it with her sword. She cuts out a sizable chunk of flesh and the guards seems to be near death.

The emporer, still under influence of Melianne's words, hurls a flashing bolt at Shedinn but the bolt misses and strikes a tree.
The frog ruler croaks a few words (?) and the two guards at the foot of the stairs seem to get ready to engage you.

Solra runs forward in response and wildly swings her weapons at one of the guards, hitting with both of them. At the moment of impact a flame leaps from her hammer at the guard, lighting the mounted frog soldier on fire.

Two people, a bearded male and a middle-aged female with spears in their hands come running to you from the prison pit in order to aid you.
Both seem to be determined to fight the frog people till the end

OOC:

EDIT: Corrected my mistake of overlooking that Raskel was already healed
Both of the guards are now seriously wounded (one of them is even burning) and the emporer is wounded too.
Shedinn and Korrin are up next.

While the mounted guard can narrowly avoid Shedinn's swing, Korrin's arrow flies true and hits the emporer in the chest. It stumbles backwards, blood flowing from several wounds and from its eyes. You don't think the emporer can take much more damage.

The mounted guards meanwhile swing their spears at Shedinn and Solra. The one attacking Solra is still burning and you can see how the flames create patches of burnt skin on the enemy
While Sheddin can avoid the spear with a small step back, Solra gets hit on the arm while trying to dodge the attack.

Both guards seem to be on their last leg.

Annika hurls another sizzling bolt of energy towards the Emperor, hoping that the guards might stand down if he falls... but mainly because she's annoyed that her last shot missed.

OOC:

Annika really needs some time on the shooting range to hone her skills with Eldritch Blast, apparently. Her sights are way off.

Used the Bardic Inspiration die from Melianne to try to boost that to a hit, but it's still only a 14.

Melianne beams back at Shedinn with a luminous smilre, pleased by his compliment, and moves closer to the stairs. With the reinforcements arriving behind and the emporer's guard falling one by one, the advantage in battle seems to lean firmly towards the ragtag group of survivors, and she feels energized with the victory as close in sight.

"Hey, your frogginess, last chance to surrender!" The dancer calls out to the hiding amphibian with a slightly mocking wave of her hand. "Or are you too cowardly even for that? Unable to face the consequences of your hubris?"

Annika's eldritch blast hits the throne of the emporer and sends shiny trinket that are fixed to the royal seat on their way to floor. While this may harm the emporer emotionally it doesnt hurt it physically.

Melianne's words on the other side seem to have some effect as the emporer shakes its head even harder, blood flowing from its ears. It peeks from behind its cover and hurls another bolt of magical energy at Shedinn before hiding behind the cover again.

The spell of the emporer hits a small hut behind Shedinn and it begins to burn.

In the midst of this mayhem Kruux returns with two frog foot soldiers, armed with spears and crude leather armors and shields.

Kruux announces Cuurtinoax XVII. has only brought war and mayhem over its people *CROAX*
I, Kruux I. will now ascend the throne, free the prisoners and will bring *Croax* peace and prosperity. If you help me I will lead your people to your brethren *Croax* at the dry place

Kruux's soldiers seems to be a bit unsure but are ready to join the battle.

The emporer Cuurtinoax XVII answers.
*Croax* Defeat the usurper and I will not only lead your people out of here but shower you in *Croax* riches beyond your shiny, slimy dreams!

OOC:

The initiative order still stands, so Shedinn and Korrin will go next but you can exchange quick messages (One sentence per turn outside of your turn at most) outside of the initiative order. I'll hold Solra's turn for now as this is a bit more rp flavored rather than just fighting

Korrin stabs one of the mounted guards with his swords. While Rada, Solra and Raskell slay the second one, Shedinn ascends the stairs and before the emporer can say a single word Shedinn kills the ruler with a swift blow from his axe.

Suddenly the battlefield is completely silent and you all wait for another ambush but instead Kruux hurries up the stairs, picks up a few pieces of jewelery from the dead emporer, fixes them to the dress its wearing and then climbs the throne.
From there Kruux declares
*CROAX* I, Kruux I. am now emporer of the bullywug! Cuurtinoax XVII brought death and conflict over us but I, Kruux I. *Croax* will bring peace and prosperity!

Kruux makes a grand gesture towards you and then announces
Your *Croax* prisoners are free to go! I will *Croax* provide you with guides and food and will *Croax* lead you whereever you want to go!

A few of the frog people rally at the area in front of the palace and bow their head.

OOC:

Great work!
First off: Congrats! You are now Level 2!
I created a Level Up thread

Please take your time and finish any business you may want to conduct here.
I will in the meantime try to recruit two new players and then we'll proceed to the next part

Korrin looks around checks to see if anyone is hurt badly. Once don' with that he ascends the stairs to stand next to the Dragonborn and nudges his leg with an elbow to get his attention.

"Well couldn't you hit him a little harder? I softened him up for pretty well for you huh? Half that kill is mine big fellow. But I must say, ya could have gone for the legs bwahahaha."

Korrin rolls the emporer over and starts patting him down thoroughly.
