My friends and I are going to set up an ambush for a couple of uglies. I need you to draw them towards us, once we're ready. One of them is sleeping, so you should be able to get them to us one at a time. Just be careful!

Elceran moves to the gate and unlocks it again. "Ready when you two are."

OOC:
Can we see the Drakes from the gate or no? If yes, how far is it?
Dec 23, 2021 3:56 pm
OOC:
the eggs are about 50' away from the gate. And about 3' tall. The tops of them can be seen from the gate. The drakes are lying down, so they can't be seen from the gate, but if/when they stand up they will be easily visible.

"in a game of cat-and-mouse dahling, you want me to be the mouse?" Zsa asks indignantly, before toddling off to do your bidding.

"you can't win if you're the mouse" she mutters as she goes.

She walks straight up to the self-licking drake, and swats at his head. The drake moves out of the way effortlessly before batting that cat away like a toy. She sails through the air, straight towards you. And she splats onto the hard rocks about half way between you and the now standing drake.

if the drake wins initiative, the other one will wake up immediately. Otherwise it will wake up when any noise of battle is made.
OOC:
ohhhh, interesting. Everyone free to act. Do you think you can do this quietly???

Would I get advantage, and thus sneak attack if they are surprised? I couldn't find a good ruling on the in the PHB

OOC:
I don't think the one the cat swatted could be surprised, it's seen you. But the sleeping one, 100% suprizable

Never one to miss an opportunity, Riardin launches a bolt at the sleeping drake...

If I miss, is there a chance I hit eggs?
Dec 23, 2021 10:02 pm
OOC:
yes.... but the mission here is to destroy the eggs

Indeed! I was hoping for a "yes" ;)

"Run Zsa!"

Focusing on the standing Drake, Clarice opens her palm and produces three magical glowing darts. With a wave of her hand they launch towards Zsa's attacker.

Riardin cranes his neck to see the effects of the bolt and magic on the drakes and/or eggs...
Jan 16, 2022 5:10 pm
the bolts both swing high, sailing over the sleeping lizard. Clattering into the darkness behind it. A flash of light erupts as the magic misses slam into the standing drake singing and smoking it's hide.

The injured drake roars, awakening its partner.

I think we're waiting on Elceran?
Jan 23, 2022 8:01 pm
OOC:
Elceran doesn't have ranged attacks that reach that far. So he is waiting at the gate to lock it behind them.

Ah, I thought you locked it from the inside, I didn't realize you were staying out. interesting.....
At the bottom of the stairs

two scenes unfold at once. At the bottom of the stairs, both drakes are awake, one charges while the other rises to it's feet. (using it's action)

at the top of the stairs a shriek breaks through the dark. As four kobolds (who were supposed to be guarding the gate) are drawn back to their positions by the noise. They toss clay pots full of.... something over the edge to rain down on Clarice, Riardin, and Zsa.

Elceran sees the kobolds at the edge of the ledge. But he can't act quick enough to interrupt them.

They toss the pots over the side, two smash into the ground spreading a sickly green ooze across the floor, while toe crack open bursting with spreading flames.

The kobolds don't throw with any accuracy at all, and the ooze isn't just sticky, it's also flammable. Soon four ten foot wide pools of fire rage across the floor.
OOC:
I'm gonna say everyone has a 1 in four chance of being touched by glue and a 2 in four chance of being touched by fire

INITIATIVE: kobolds - (1d20+2)
