Scene 2 - The Averndale Adventurers' Guild

The party takes the tunnel again and in time comes to see the dam ahead, you approach to inspect it and come to a stop, Sadur gets a sense of predation from the darkness ahead, while Leon picks up on the shifting of small feet. An ambush from farther into the tunnel, beyond the light of a torch or the limit of darkvision, the twang of crossbow strings and wiz of bolts.

OOC:

Surprise round
two attacks from crossbows with Advantage from shooting from darkness (sorry, I forget the codes)
One hit on Sadur for 10, a big hit.

Sadur and Leon get to act.

Rolls

light crossbow Sadur - (1d20+2)

(1) + 2 = 3

light crossbow Sadur - (1d20+2)

(3) + 2 = 5

light crossbow - (2d20H+2)

(519) + 2 = 26

Sadur damage - (1d8+2)

(8) + 2 = 10

OOC:

Assuming we are in combat and I must describe a turn. It will be move 30 feet forward and use torch as improvised weapon to throw it 60 foot forward. Since I don't try to hit creature not sure if a roll is required, adding a roll just in case
Free action - draw handaxe

Sadur cries Why ? Who ? moves forward, throwing the torch he was holding while drawing a handaxe into the other hand.

Rolls

Torch to hit - (2d20L1+3)

(93) + 3 = 6

Sep 12, 2022 1:39 pm

Leon charges forward, letting the big warrior lead. Rapier and dagger in hand he hopes to close the distance before another round of bolts find their targets.

Sep 12, 2022 3:34 pm

Sadur throwing the torch forward brings dim light into range of the entrance to the hole and two kobolds scream. Sadur and Leon may close most of the distance with their move, but will be 10' short of the archers' wow shriek with abject terror and brief regret from hitting the orcish barbarian.

OOC:

I'll roll initiative with your party's best score vs. the monster

Rolls

Party Initiative - (1d20+2)

(15) + 2 = 17

Monster Initiative - (1d20+2)

(19) + 2 = 21

In fear, the kobolds flee into the tunnel, made for their size, which will be difficult terrain for medium-sized creatures.

OOC:

Party's Turn

Sep 13, 2022 2:39 am

Jasper will follow behind the party as he is really now in the back.

Sep 13, 2022 5:31 am

OOC:

may I ask. The Kobolds run into the same tunnel as big rats, right?

Sadur carefully moves forward.

OOC:

move and dash action as far as I understand I can't yet reach the tunnel entrance in one turn

Xarakas runs after Sadur hoping he is not hurt too badly. "Are you OK? Do you need some help with your wounds?" And as they enter he whispers some inspiring words to Sadur "I got your back focus on whats ahead".

OOC:

Do Sadur need healing ?
Also used bardic inspiration on Sadur so you can add a d6 on an ability check, attack roll or saving throw if you need to.

OOC:

Well Sadur did lost 10 HP, but imagine he is on adrenaline at the moment and not able to asses the need of a magical healing he has never benefit of in his life. By the way big guy does not plan to crawl rat-hole. He will stop next to tunnel entrance, but I believe we are in combat turn order, so waiting for my turn

Sep 14, 2022 1:25 pm

With Sadur next to the smaller tunnel entrance, he cannot see his quarry in the hole but can hear angry chittering and strange barking and hissing calls from deeper within. They are waiting for you to follow, it seems.

OOC:

Same hole as before, where the rats came from. If you aren't going through, then its a lull in combat... I'll interject if something new happens. You have secured this side for now.

Health and Injuries - don't worry so much about metagaming if that's what it is. Xarakas can see he is injured, and Sadur can know he doesn't feel at his best

Sep 14, 2022 1:34 pm

Leon cautiously walks over to the kobold tunnel. Peeking in he takes a closer look at the entrance searching for signs of traps.

Sep 14, 2022 1:53 pm

OOC:

It is at very least an Ambush waiting from them on the other side, but Kobolds are known to employ traps as well.

Sep 14, 2022 2:28 pm

Sadur whispers yes that was one bloody shoot, I wonder where did kobolds steal crossbow bolts. Would be nice if you could stop me bleeding.
Anyhow, I'm not going into that rat-hole! Anyone volunteer to break dam, or should I take car of it?

Then he cries Little bastard! You can surrender your weapons and get free or stay there and die terrible!

Leon takes a look at Sadurs wound before agreing with his logic "You are right, lets just break the dam. Its too risky to chase them into that hole"

Sep 14, 2022 6:05 pm

Jasper backs up so we all can get to the Dam.

Sep 14, 2022 6:45 pm

OOC:

If the general plan is to pull the dam down with a grappling hook, then It'll be a strength check with DC and effect based on how many off you are pulling. So who should pull and what should the others do. OOC plan would be good.

Sep 14, 2022 8:43 pm

Sadur picks up the torch he thrown and try to stick it to the wall to light up the exit from the tunnel. He cries other intimidating sentence or two and then silently moves back to dam together with the rest.
He is then open for ideas. His only idea is to use axe to break dam :).

OOC:

Seriously, is made of wood or what? If it is made of wood it shouldn't be a big deal for Sadur the Lumberjack to break it. But I also like the idea of using hook and do a team-work. Someone with ability to do ranged attacks should keep watching kobolds while other 3 could poll the rope

OOC:

yeah. just wooden refuse and other debris. not a big deal

Sep 15, 2022 12:58 am

Jasper will aid with his 13 STR.
