Still frozen in fear of the crocodilian, the flaming hand grabs the warforged, singeing him in its grasp.

His cohort tries to shrug off the pain of the repeated attacks. Heeding the command of the larger warforged, he runs to join him. Reloading his crossbow, he ignores the nearby gnome, instead he turns and fires an arrow at 37. However his arm is trembling from the pain and misses terribly.

Malbor sees the dangerous situation getting worse and steps forward to keep the Warforged Titan in view. He reaches out with his mind, probing for weakness and then launches a mental assault against the Titan's motor cortex.

OOC:

I'm going to move to F-14 or G-13, wherever I can get line-of-sight to them for my spells.
I'm going to cast Mind Sliver as an action and then Quicken (using 2 sorcery points) a Hold Person on the Titan.
He'll have to make a 13 INT save vs the Mind Sliver, if the fails that he will take 3 psychic damage and get -4 to his save against the Hold. The Hold is a 13 WIS save (17 if he fails the first save)

Malbor senses the crack in the titan’s mind. The massive warforged visibly winces at he tries to shake it off, but it’s too late. Deep in his mind, you sense the energy that controls his movement and switch it off. The rest of the group sees the giant iron creature freeze solid, unable to move or speak.

OOC:

F13 made more sense, it allows you cover while still having the Titan and 3 in view.

While paralyzed:
The titan automatically fails Strength and Dexterity Saving Throws.
Attack rolls against the titan have advantage.
Any Attack that hits the titan is a critical hit if the attacker is within 5 feet of the creature.

As the Titan comes closer, Vice is about to flee, until it pauses. Somehow it seems diminished, and he decided to risk an attack on the giant. Well, giant to a Gnome at least. . . he rushes in, attacks with Pride, and leaves as quick as he can without waiting to see the results.

I'll walk up, attack, and use Cunning Action to disengage and move closer to the tent at G8.

OOC:

The Nat 20 should still count as a critical hit, meaning (per RAW) you would roll an extra 1d4+1d6 for additional damage.

I don't remember if we have any house rules pertaining to crits off the top of my head though.

OOC:

Here’s the house rule we use.

Critical Hits
You max your normal damage dice you would roll regularly and add your damage modifier (usually Str or Dex). Then roll all of the extra dice you would get on the critical hit and add it all together. This makes the critical hit more dramatic instead of rolling ones and twos on your dice doing less damage than a normal hit. (This is not for GM run NPCs)

I’ve got 12 damage based on my calculations. So far for you (Max (4)+DEX (3)+damage die (1)+sneak attack (4)

I should also mention, you haven’t been using your offhand as a bonus action with one of your other chakrams. I saw cunning action is a bonus, but to keep in mind for the future. :)

Edit - I should also point out, you wouldn’t need to disengage since he has no reactions.

You can only add additional crit damage once on an attack, but you can (and will automatically) crit on every attack you make.

He should also get +6 damage for his max Sneak Attack die since that crits also. For a total of 18.

The gnome nimbly slides over, taking a slice at the Titan. He finds a gap in his armour at the hip and slashes deep into the wooden fibres of the warforge’s body, before scampering away to the tent beyond.

You find the damage wasn’t quite what you expected for such an impactful hit.

As the warforged runs, he’s blasted on the right shoulder, nearly knocking him off his feet. You can see the pain in his hunched body, staggering and limping, he remains focused on his commander’s orders.

The half-orc is confused by the bigger warforged command to group up, yet allowing targets to complete any unknown plan is always a bad idea.
"Don't let them group up!"
Kleber prepares an arrow for sentry #2 but before shooting he directs his previous spell to leave the dead warforged, marking the new target, then he lets go of the bowstring
