Albo did not sleep much throughout the night being tormented by dreams of the attack. He wakes up feeling terribly cold and wonders why he decided to join the party to go into the forest. He is just a little halfling bard after all, and although he proudly wears a dagger on his belt, he realises that he only ever takes it out of its sheath to cut slices of dried sausage at the local tavern. Good morning my friends, I think we should get going before dawn, the earlier we get going, the more chances we'll have to find these monsters.

"I have some knowledge of the woods but it mostly comes from the folklore and bardic tales that I have learned. I have never ventured very far, but I can lead the way if you wish." Bosko feels scared about walking in front but he finds the courage to do it for the sake of all the halflings in the village.

Beyond the ruined cheer of Newville, the group sets off toward mount Strumpet with Mayor Lucinda's simple map as guide. It is almost as if the landscape itself is against you. Within a few hours of setting out, the sky turns gray and clouds roll in from behind the mountain peak. Before long, a thick and heavy snow makes each step toward those dire peaks a more chilling prospect.

Traveling in the harsh cold is no easy task. Almost a foot of snow already rests on the ground and new flakes only compound the problem. Visibility is reduced, and travel is slow.

After a while the group, Following tracks see in the middle of the forest four strange, portly humanoid figures made entirely of snow stand among the snow covered trees of Newville Forest. They stand tall and jolly, some with corncob pipes stuck in thei snow-slashed mouths, others with coal eyes and carrot noses. All of them have long, spindly stick arms. As you draw close, their ash black eyes seem to be set upon each member of the group.

Protect the others," Elias whispers into his reindeers ear before firing off an arrow into the snowman who's furthest away, from there he sprints diagonally up the hill knowing he needs to get himself into a position where hopefully they'll Ignore him and he can quickly take these creatures out.

Alas for Elias his shot is way too long, his reindeer on the other hand reach Snowman1 but strangely when Elias' compnion bites the snowman, it is mostly snow the animal got in his mouth.

ROUND 2: While Elias tries to shoot a Snowman and moves, another one (SM3), melts in the snow and reappears behind him hurting him badly with its twig arm and carrot nose held like a dagger. His Reindeer went to bite a Snowman (SM1) and if the animal bite hit the snowman, it is mostly snow the reindeer got in his mouth, to his surprise the bite did not bother the snowman as much as a reindeer could anticipate. Nog casts four magic missiiles sending them to two snowmen (SM1, SM2) but like with the reindeer, they do not seem to make as much damage as usual. Wyce on the other hand send a flaming bolt to the Snowman attacking Elias (SM3) and is able to melt it quite a bit, even more that what he expected. Albo seeing the state of Elias send a healing spell toward him, Elias feels much better. Gimdrus runs tward Elias and uses a javelin against the Snowman (SM3), the javelin goes right through the monster like with the reindeer and the missiles it doesn(t seems to make as big a wound it would normally do. The Snowman that stared at Anne (SM2) rolls fast in her direction to try to hit with hi stick arms, but Anne who was not at all impressed by the stare is able to avoid it, alas she is not able to touch it either with her scimitar. The last Snowman (SM4) disappear and reappear almost instantly at Gimdrus back, tryin to stab him like Elias' Snowman did, luckily for Gimdrus no attack landed.

I'm not sure I entirely understand but if you're saying that piercing weapons deal less damage, it's the only type I have so it's not like I've got much choice for better types of damage however if what you're saying is if I don't attack SM3 than he gets an advantage on his attack then I guess I would attack SM3 with my dagger, I'll roll just the damage here and you fan use my attack roll & hunters mark from previous post.

To me you are not on the line of sight for SM3, your line of sight is blocked by SM4. To me line of sight is a straight line from the middle of the starting square to the middle of the target square. Your bolt is going in straight line and encounters SM4. As far as the rules p.204 confirm you need a clear path to target.

If you move before the attack, there is no issue. But until now you did not tell me you moved. So it's Ok, SM3 it is.

Hits. AC is 17. I'll let you know how much HP I got left.

Anne closes her eyes and quickly Wild shapes into a Brown Bear before giving a terrifying roar, and attack the snowman biting him, alas it is mostly snow and the damage is not as strong as she hoped.

Note

Wild Shape
Starting at Second Level you have the action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. At 2nd level, for example, you can transform into any beast that has a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower that doesn't have a flying or swimming speed.

Beast Shapes
Level Max. CR Limitations Example
2nd 1/4 No flying or swimming speed Wolf
4th 1/2 No flying speed Crocodile
8th 1 Giant eagle
You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down). You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form, For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as Call Lightning, that you've already cast.
You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based
Druid Circle

Anne's Brown Bear form moves over to the snowman and looks at it with angry eyes.

As it was an action to Wild shape, I have no other actions so will end my turn.

ROUND 3: The fight began with Elias missing an arrow shot, the snowman he targetted quickly disapeared in the snow to reappear behind him and stab him in the back with twig arm and carrot nose used like a dagger. His health went down rapidely, but Aldo was able to heal him a bit, his reindeer went straight to confront another snowman, but its bite seems very weak, hardly some snow were taken. Nogs magic missiles even as they hurt two snowmen left only a small hole in their bodies. Wyce flaming bolt on the other hand was able to melt quite a bit of the snowman attacking Elias. Gimdrus ran toward Elias and uses a javelin against the Snowman, the javelin went right through the monster. The Snowman that stared at Anne rolled fast in her direction to try to hit with hi stick arms, but Anne who was not at all impressed by the stare was able to avoid it The last Snowman disappear and reappear almost instantly at Gimdrus back, trying to stab him like Elias' Snowman did, luckily for Gimdrus no attack landed.

Even if Elias missed his target, he was able to mark it, and the Snowman (SM1) missed Elias as well. Nog send a radiant bolt and its target which is nearly dissolved but still standing (SM3). Wyce sent a second fire bolt at one snowman (SM2) which began to thaw a bit. Albo continues to heal Elias who feels better. The snowman against Elias' reindeer was able to use its nose like a dagger and killed the animal with a hit straight to the heart. Gimdrus with his two axes slashes through th snowman snow (SM4) which becomes leaner but still in good form. Anne turns into a bear and bites the snowman attacking her (SM2) . The Snowman against Anne (SM2) hurt her with its nose dagger.

Nog is fascinated by the snowman eyes (SM1) and is in trance, like stunned. Elias enraged by the loss of his reindeer finishes by destroying the snowman only the twigs and the carrot nose are lying on the floor. Wyce send a firebolt that does not hurt the snowman much (SM2), and albo heal Elias some more. Snowman 1 goes to take advantage of a stunned Nog, but the creatures failed to hit him. Nog continue to fight against the snowman (SM4) and finishes by transforming it in water. Anne's snowman (SM2) hurt her much while she is in Brown Bear form, but the bear counterattacked and bites its opponent, not for much damage though.

Nog continue to fight against the snowman (SM4) and finishes by transforming it in water. Anne's snowman (SM2) hurt her much while she is in Brown Bear form, but the bear counterattacked and bites its opponent, not for much damage though.

The combine attack of Elias and wyce hurt snowman 1 very badly. The reindeer is still hangig to life. Wyce helped to hurt Anne's Snowman (SM2), even if his fire attack was a little weak.

Battle Map

ORDER :
Elias 19 - Nog 19 - Wyce 19 - Albo 16 - XXXSnowman1 15 - Gimdrus 14 - Snowman2 10 - Anne 8

ROUND 5: The fight began with Elias missing an arrow shot, the snowman he targeted quickly disapeared in the snow to reappear behind him and stab him in the back with twig arm and carrot nose used like a dagger. His health went down rapidely, but Aldo was able to heal him a bit, his reindeer went straight to confront another snowman, but its bite seems very weak, hardly some snow were taken. Nogs magic missiles even as they hurt two snowmen left only a small hole in their bodies. Wyce flaming bolt on the other hand was able to melt quite a bit of the snowman attacking Elias. Gimdrus ran toward Elias and uses a javelin against the Snowman, the javelin went right through the monster. The Snowman that stared at Anne rolled fast in her direction to try to hit with hi stick arms, but Anne who was not at all impressed by the stare was able to avoid it The last Snowman disappear and reappear almost instantly at Gimdrus back, trying to stab him like Elias' Snowman did, luckily for Gimdrus no attack landed. Fight is continuing, Albo continue to heal Elias, but his reindeer went down after the Snowman attack (SM1). Anne turned into a Bear to attack the snowmam (SM2), but that one hurt her a lot.
Nog is fascinated by the snowman eyes (SM1) and is in trance, like stunned. Elias enraged by the loss of his reindeer finishes by destroying the snowman. Nog continue to fight against the snowman (SM4) and finishes by transforming it in water. Anne's snowman (SM2) hurt her much and Anne must revert to human form.
- The combine attack of Elias and wyce hurt snowman 1 very badly. The reindeer is still hangig to life. Wyce helped to hurt Anne's Snowman (SM2), even if his fire attack was a little weak.

You may all do an arcana check to deduce some things about snowmen.

Reindeer is up again, with 6 hp

And since it is a short rest (1 hour) you may roll to regain Hit Points by "spending" Hit Dice. Since you're level 4 you have 4 HD, you may throw 1 die (according to your current class) plus your constitution modifier to regain lost hp. Each time you do your HD reserve decrease by 1 (you can do it only 4 times). You regain up to 2 HD if you do a long rest (8 hours only once in 24 hours, including a 2 hours watch)
