Blornvid still had 2 active then Ishzu is last up.
Yeah that narrator is getting cheeky. I'll talk with him about that ☺️. Sometimes he just gets in a mood. It should pass.

@Psybermagi
I went earlier. Just ran away from the mantles. Do I need to go again?

OOC:
Is the 20' close enough that he doesn't need to spend an action moving towards the roper?
Jan 20, 2024 9:19 pm
OOC:
Blornvid 1 action to Move to close, 1 action to attack
Sorry smiley I forgot. Definitely need to go back to smaller party sizes after this. Too many things to juggle.

You are doing great, Psyber! Do not worry about it. Clarifying question only. I was only confused, not worried or upset.

Blornvid charges back to the Roper, his axe ready to swing. "Can't get rid of me that easy."

Grinfletch feels a sudden awareness wash over him. He looks down at the crossbow in his hands and feels a strange affinity for it. This weapon and I have been through so much. It’s like a part of me now. Grin has an epiphany. I have mastered the art of the crossbow! A feeling of contentment blooms within him. I am a weapon master now. Fate and luck will be on my side.

Given our sudden molecular realignment, should not those last attacks by Ealdwig and Ander be at Advantage?

Just asking for some trying not to get chomped.

Our knightly fellow’s player, oh the plight…he has no clue whose turn it is. So, he simply makes this valiant post! Lol

Lol, looks like we have a valiant player who can face the cheeky narrator in a meta-battle

Is that character laughing at me???? How dare he Ill show him!!! Just you wait Henry Higgins, just you wait . . . .
Yes Ealdwid and Ander have Weapon Mastery. I added it for them. So Ander frees himself on his first attack and can change his second action to a move or do something else

However, once again you guys are trying to go twice before the monsters have a turn.
NO FINISHING THEM OFF BEFORE I GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOCK SOMEONE SENSELESS!!!!
hmmm now who should it be . . . . . . .
Roper
The Roper emits a low moan and begins to retreat, slowly. Tts tendrils bring in less threatening treats to take on the go. Skeeve is yanked to the Roper and it opens its mouth for a bite. The other tendrils try to trip or knock Blornvid and his nasty wicked ax away. The Darkmantles move to block the others striking at Oliver and Ishzu.

Skeeve is pulled into the moving mouth and bitten and screams in agony as the wound brings him near to death. Luckily Ishzu manages to evade the Darkmantle but Oliver is scratched twice as the Darkmantle by hims wraps it's stubby tendrils around him and pulling him into a writhing hug bites into him with its mouth set into the middle of its base.

Blornvid can Save to avoid loosing an action due to the flailing tendril

Ealdwig Swiftfoot
What is wrong with this stupid thing? You see Ealdwig shaking his bow.

OK, what am I going to do now? Everything is looking injured, and so is the group. To Hells with it. Here goes nothing. You see the Chromacloth he wears as a headband turn yellow with a sparkle of lightning. OK guys, let's finish this! He pulls out his shortsword and flies, literally flies, directly at the monstrosity trying to drive the blade straight into it.

attack with sword - (2d6) (5,6,3)
Ealdwig soars through the air, sword first, to impale it into the Roper that screams as it nears death.

Ander
Our knightly fellow’s player, oh the plight…he has no clue whose turn it is. So, he simply makes this valiant post! Lol

This…isn’t working, Ander stammers. Disguised at his lack of combat prowess with Trusty Sling! Dropping his missile weapon to cavernous ground, Ander draws forth…wait for it…Trusty Sword!

Ander attempts to slash at the tentacle holding him!

Rolls
Sword - (2d6) (2,3,5)
Sword, if two such actions allowed - (2d6) (5,5,2)
Ander frees himself from being dragged along (One action left for Ander)

The Darkmantle is now far from any save Skeeve and his gallant rescuer, Ealdwig, who finds himself the proud owner of a Roper-kabob on a sword. Ishzu is being harassed by one of the Darkmantle, which is almost dead, and the other is clamped on to Olliver preventing him form using his bow.

OOC:
So, to be clear, the Roper is dead now?
Jan 21, 2024 9:55 pm
OOC:
near dead , still chewing a Skeeve wrap
Jan 21, 2024 10:14 pm
OOC:
Well, bummer. Can I make two attacks having been chomped on? Can use my sudden proficiency with Stick? Or do I need to get out of its maw first?
Jan 21, 2024 10:28 pm
OOC:
Keep it simple. You can attack with your mastered stick! If I do not state a condition/effect then just assume it is game on as usual
Jan 21, 2024 10:54 pm
OOC:
OK, cool!
Skeeve whips his Stick around, mentally reforming into it's shillelagh form and attacks the Roper twice.

Welp, I hope one hit is enough to finish it off.

The Roper falls with a loud moan. Immediately the two remaining Darkmantle fly away in separate directions, flitting up towards the shadows near the ceiling.
If you can not kill the darkmantle this round they are gone from view and can not be found.

"Eech! These darkmantles bite hard, and weird."
"That's my sling hand, you clingy brat!"
Oliver proceeded to punch the darkmantle holding fast onto his arm, using his other arm.
OOC:
I'm going to go on a limb here (:D) and assume that I can punch with disadvantage for 1 dmg, as that's an attack I'm not proficient with.
OOC:
Post-edit: There goes my limb
OOC:
Post-post-edit: I'm not sure how to make my post coherent with Psibermagi's last post now.
