It's late afternoon when you come across them, a group of seven orcs tromping through the underbrush. One is clad in dark pitted plate armor, and the rest are wearing stinking animal hides. Unfortunately the noise you're making means they hear you coming. They turn toward your group and bellow loudly, clearly spoiling for a fight.

The Orc in Plate raises a greatsword and charges at Atgorvimadr. His blade swings around in a hurricane of blows.

His first strike misses cleanly, but his second and third blow land true. Atgorvimadr takes 38 points of damage.

Scar breaks from his stealth and charges toward the orc in plate that with the great sword that just tore into Atgovimadr but stop short of him (10') to swipe with his new formed spiny tail.

As Scar moved he become more like a senseless monster and has transformed and developed a spiny tail which he slams at the orc in plate striking him hard and spins around attempt to strike again with his spiny tail, but it is defected off his plate armor.

So is that 21 total damage for one attack, or damage for the two separate attacks?
Feb 27, 2022 3:52 pm
Spiny Tail Strike for 11 piercing damage with a hit of 25. Infectious Fury (Save WIS DC(15) or 10 hp of psychic damage. Scar has Extra Attack Feature. His second attack with the tail surely missed with a 15 to hit as the orc is in plate mail. Infected Fury is part of the first Tail Attack. Side effect.

The orcs all draw javelins from sheathes on their backs and throw them at Atgorvimadr and Scar.

The hail of javelins falls on the two of you, missing Atgorvimadr but striking Scar twice. Scar you take 12 points of piercing damage.

Sunosha it's your turn, Zagreus you're up next. As you attack please designate your target as Orc A, B, C, D, E, F or the Orc in Plate so I know who dies and who doesn't.
Feb 27, 2022 4:06 pm
Added question. With Scar coming out of Stealth, does he have an advantage attack on the orc? I didn't post as such.
Feb 27, 2022 4:15 pm
Surprise is for the whole group or none of you. Some of you were making too much noise to surprise the orcs.

May I suggest a more blocky initiativ order? Something like this, where us PC's dont have to wait for eachother. I could take my turn now as I have time. Another ting, in my vignette I did just this, and I marked the upcomming players turn in green. Made it easy for the players

I understand how doing initiative in blocks could speed things up. I like maintaining individual initiative because some of you have abilities or magic items that grant you advantage on initiative, and I don't want to ignore that.

Sunosha takes a look over the field and quickly tries to identify where the most orcs are clumped together, even if only two of them next to one another.

Gale hangs back on the edge of the clearing. Seeing an orc wrapped in heavy metal makes him smile. He speaks to the metal makes it remember its time in the forge.

Zagreus watches Sunosha making a similar attack to one he intended to do. Without thinking much about how does he feel about that, he targets the middle point of the orcs and moves his body swiftly while shouting the words of the spell. A loud, intensely painful sound erupts from the point he targeted.
[ +- ] Shatter, used as a fourth level

Damage to orcs who failed the saving throw (half of it if they succeed) - (5d8)

Battle was joined and naturally the orc leader singled out Atgørvimaðr, for it is pleasing to the gods of battle that the strong seek to fight the strong! A rain of blows from a mighty sword drew blood from him as he parried the blows as best he could away from vital flesh. Even so glorious new scars would be his! A pain flooded through him and gave him strength.

"Berg-risi!" He bellowed. Upon his chest a rune of cold blue lit with an inner light flared to life, and he felt the giant blood within him stir to toughen his body against blows to come. Even as he did so he aimed his own blows against the orc. Maul met greatsword with the ringing of hammerblows upon steel as the two champions matched their strength. Even as he did so another sought to intervene!

"No! Let this honor be mine! I shall fell him!"

He swung mightily, his strength unmatched among mortals, and the orc's blade was smashed aside for the maul to slam into him. Immediately Atgørvimaðr swung another at his foe, driving the advantage as the thrill of combat filled him with glee.
OOC:
Bonus Action: Hill Rune (gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage for 1 minute)
Standard: Attack
Attack 1: Critical - 21 damage.
Attack 2: 16 to hit, 12 damage.

A shard of ice flies across the clearing and stabs itself into one of the orcs, then explodes into shrapnel, flaying two others. Orcs A, B, and C are down. Then the ringing of a powerful gong sounds, and the other orcs are engulfed in a thunderous blast. Orcs D, E, and F are down.

The lead orcs armor glows red, and he howls in pain. Then Atgorvimadr's maul slams into his chest, denting his armor and staggering him back.
OOC:
All the other orcs are down, with only the orc in plate left standing. Atgorvimadr and Scar are engaged in melee with him, although I believe Scar is 10 feet away and attacking with reach. Kato still needs to act, so we'll wait for him before moving on.

I haven't really played with rage before. What does resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, slashing damage do to the 12 points that Scar received from the 3 javelins thrown at him. Scar is in rage. I thank Khulod' post for que'ing my memory about that.

Edit: Woot for Sunosha and Zagreus cleaning up the orcs.
