Prologue part 2

OOC:

I do not keep track of player HP, spells slots, conditions, etc. This is your job
I am OK if players share their HP, spells slots, etc. with each other. If you find it fun - share it. If you find it fun not to - the do not

As for enemies
I. When you are facing an enemy you have never seen before you have no idea how much HP it has or how close it is get KO or killed.
II. I will share exact HP if you fight same type of monster again in this game
III. I allow PCs to spend action to roll history check for anything they touch, including enemies. A passed history check means that you happened to have historical experience of such thing (i.e. in case of monster you may recall amount of HP or even resistances/immunities). DCs are usually between 10 and 15 but depend on PC and monster. For Mal as Bugbear DC to remember anything about special type of goblin could as well be 5 while 15 for Lizard Cleric.

P.S. Experience with PC HP sharing -
Some players post OOC their HP and status with each turn post.
I find it strange but I am not against it.

At this point, Yoth decides that helping the bugbear finish off the first enemy as quickly as possible makes the most sense. Leaving the safety of cover, he moves to engage the enemy.

OOC:

Move: Move into melee range with Enemy 1
Action: Attack Enemy 1 with spear - one-handed, shield in the other hand (total AC 15 due to lizard hide)

Request to @HeroAmongMen: I like GreyWord's suggestion for PCs to include their current HP at the end of their posts. It will help me decide when and who to heal.

Not sure anyone in the party needs to know my condition, but just in case:
Current HP: 26/35

Mal sees that his hit didn't do much, so he drops his greatsword and pulls his maul from his back and tries to smack the crap out of this creature in front of him. He stays within melee range of the undead monster.

OOC:

I am assuming that the Lay on Hands is also fully expended. Is that right?

Also, I just realized that my character sheet doesn't have the right modifiers, so I have adjusted those now, and they are reflected in the rolled results below. Also, my damage rolls of 1 from the previous round should have a reroll, due to my fighting style.

[ +- ] Great Weapon Fighting

He realizes that the slashing damage isn't doing much, so he drops the greatsword and pulls out his greatsword, which is slung on the leather sheath thingy on his back.

Free: drop greatsword
Interaction: draw maul
Action: maul attack vs. undead creature
Move: stay within melee of creature

Current HP: 31/36

OOC:

Yes, just as at the table - you roll your attacks and your saves, I roll enemy attacks and saves. I may sometimes roll for you to boost game up, i.e. if I need you to do saving throw to decide what a monster does next

Mal swings his maul only to hit the ground, but undead who were too focused on maul gets hit by Yoth spear. Youth also understadn that enemy has resistance to this type of damage.
Farest enemy keep running your way and firing while closest one keep attacking and trying to bite Mal

OOC:

If I'm not mistaken Mal AC without armour is 10 so both 11 hit

Mal get 12 slashing damage and 5 more necrotic and feels life drained from him
You see people coming closer, most of them hold some stones in arms.

Your max HP are also reduced by 5, but don't worry it is until the next long rest that you can't restore them with healing or short resting

OOC:

Curse me for not stating that Yoth grabbed his mace as well as his spear.

Seeing that his spear is doing little better at hurting the undead creature, Yoth flips his spear around to use the blunt end for his next attack.

OOC:

Action: Attack with blunt end of spear, using it either as a quarterstaff (if allowed) or as an improvised club.

I will make the attack roll, but leave the damage roll to the DM (if it hits), so they can decide how they want to treat this attack. (Nevermind. won't be hitting anything with a roll like that.)

Prologue part 2

Yoth sees the bugbear go down with alarm. His attempt to batter the enemy undead is no more effective than any of his other attacks. Yoth had hoped that the pair of them could dispatch one of the enemies before the other one arrived, but instead they are the ones slipping towards defeat. Even with the help of the others at the camp, Yoth decides that they need some breathing room.

Dropping his spear to the ground, Yoth grabs his holy symbol and holds it out, drawing on the power of his god. Divine energy flow through it, washing over the undead. Yoth hopes it is enough to drive them off temporarily.

OOC:

From last round: Improvised weapon damage rolled.

Sorry. It appears I got really confused when you first described what was available and what wasn't. In that case, Yoth will just fall back to more Tolling the Dead, since he hasn't been able to find and attack mode that does full damage, and Toll the Dead has the highest potential damage.

Prologue part 2

OOC:

Trying to be creative here, but a cleric without any short/long rest abilities doesn't have many good options.

Is there still fire burning on the ground behind the enemies? Or if it kind of flamed out? I'm going to give two options for Yoth's action, depending on if this is true or not.

If there is fire burning on the ground behind the enemies, Yoth is going to attempt to shove the most wounded enemy into them - if they are close enough, he will push the enemy prone into them. If they are more like 5' behind them, then it will be a shove to push him 5' back.
Option 1 Action: Attack/Shove - STR(Athletics) check from Yoth vs either STR(Athletics) or DEX(Acrobatics) from enemy

If there's not really any fire remaining to push the enemy into, the Yoth will just keep on Tolling this guy.
Option 2 Action: Cast Toll the Dead on Enemy 1

Either way, if it looks like the undead were not resistant to the fire, Yoth will follow up with a shout to the others.

"Someone get me a torch."
