Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

"I'll back you up if you need it." Leth tells Mordred before he heads downstairs. "And If you think we should keep going, signal back to me and I'll relay that to the others." Leth approaches nears the top of the staircase, following Mordred with his eyes but trying his best to stay out of sight, waiting to see what Mordred reports.

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Seeing Mordred head downstairs to assist the others, Felor elects to stay with Martjan and Zora. As Leth also leaves, Felor places his hand on the man's shoulder and says "May Fjorgyn's might go with you".

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

If Shamush doesn't show up soon, we'll just executively decide that his action this turn is waking up Domarc.

Sizing up the man with the catchpole as the most immediate threat, the smiling man closes in with a quick, dancelike crossover step and slashes at Zangua's throat with his silver blade. At the same time, the man in the blue robe raises his left hand in a contorted gesture and utters the word "vark!" A blue bolt of lightning arcs out from his hand toward Zangua.

Edit: Zangua ducks the lightning bolt, which sears into the wall behind him, but can't avoid taking a cut from the blade.

Edit 2: The "attack vs Shamush" references in the dice rolls below should be "vs Zangua," oops.

Zangua, you're up. Shamush, you around?

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Note: Mordred and Leth, to get back to the lobby you have to go back up the stairs at the rear of the building, down hall you came through on the second floor, then back downstairs to the lobby. One more round of combat would take place before you arrive.

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Zangua growls, trying to shake off the aftereffects of the Sleep spell and the ionized air surrounding him. Magicians are dangerous, but this knife-wielder's too close to ignore. Zangua thrusts the catchpole out as the man closes in, then spins the other end around for a smash to the ribs. Completing the circle, the warrior brings the blades around again to finish the sweep.

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Zangua slashes into the smiling man as he closes in, misses with the butt-end spin, but manages to get a good slice off after taking his own hit from the man's knife.

Edit: The man staggers back, clutching the deep cut in his side. His smile falters.

Last chance to jump in this round, Shamush! Anybody else doing anything? Vad still playing?

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

"I have a few people and places in mind," Martjan says. "The sooner we can get out of here, the better. I hope the others aren't much delayed."

~meanwhile, in the lobby~

Domarc rouses quickly, lurching to his feet. Though badly wounded, the smiling man immediately jerks his head in Domarc's direction. Seemingly intent on returning Domarc to an incapacitated state, he darts forward, bringing his knife up in an underhanded swing.

Edit: Domarc feels the bite of sharp silver in his abdomen as the smiling man stabs him. Domarc, you're up next, then blue robe, then Zangua.

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Domarc briefly wonders if he's woken up or if this is just another nightmare. Not seeing any clowns, he decides that it isn't.

"Time for a different tune," he says and casts Dissonant Whispers on the smiling man.

Edit: Saving throw DC is 14

Current hp = 12

Dissonant Whispers - You whisper a discordant melody that only one creatureof your choice within range can hear, wracking it with terrible pain. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 3d6 psychic damage and must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from you. The creature doesn’t move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and doesn’t have to move away. A deafened creature automatically succeeds on the save.

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Shamush, roll for initiative!

Edit: durr, you already rolled damage

The smiling man stiffens, tilts his head as a distressed look comes over his face. His eyes roll back in his head and he makes a retching, coughing sound twice before tipping over to collapse on the ground.

The man in the blue robe does not hesitate, casting a second Witch Bolt at Zangua.

Edit 2: Burning electrical arcane fire sears into Zangua's chest and neck! He staggers back in agony.

Zangua, you're up. Shamush, you can take an action too, but roll for initiative for the next round! Mordred, you go ahead and roll initiative too, you're almost at the stairs...

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Enveloped in a leash of electricity, Zangua does what any wild animal would do and lashes out. He leaps over the not-smiling man, thrusting the blunt end of his polearm for Blue Robe's abdomen. Zangua follows that with a spin to bring the blade around the shoulder, and then surges forward to try and capture the wizard with the catchpole's bite.

OOC:

Assuming I'll need an Athletics check with the catchpole if I hit on the grapple attempt? I'd like to pull the magic-user prone afterward.

Just realized that I was referring to the Grappling rules when using a free hand. How does it work with the Catchpole?

You attack at Disadvantage to use the grapple feature, so give me a second attack roll.

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Zangua delivers a hell of a beating on the mage, smacking him hard across the head and slashing a deep cut into his side, but misses with the blade-grab.

It's Shamush's turn and I need initiative rolls from him and Mordred.

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Shamush jumps to Zangua's side, his club whipping out toward the mage.

Going to make the attack non-lethal, if it'd kill him. As I understand it, in 5e you just choose if a blow that would put an enemy below 0hp kills them or merely renders them unconscious.

Also using Reckless Attack, so I have advantage this round, and any attack roll against me also gets advantage.

Re: Chapter Four: The Manifest of the Harikan Squa

Shamush clocks the mage upside the head. His knees buckle beneath the blue robe, and he drops with a thud.

Mordred springs down the stairs just in time to see the customers and workers asleep on the floor, Shamush standing over a lumpy form in a blue robe, Zangua and Domarc bleeding from stab wounds, a man in a cape bleeding out and frothing at the mouth before them, and the rest of the ordinary folk in the lobby either cowering in the corners or bolting for the door.
