Scarfs is right with Vuraz to hide inside the wagon.

Zariana nods, she's not as certain about this plan as the others bit it's a plan and she doesn't have a better one. She climbs into the back of the wagon and hides with the others.

Zaiashi hides with the others as well.

Concealed amidst bedrolls and darkness, the wagon begins tenuously rattling along the cobblestone leaving you only with your hushed breath and the tenseness of your thoughts. A few minutes pass until the wheels roll to a slow stop as you hear a gruff voice say, "Hey there Belton—leaving town a bit early for you eh? And with Muggs?"
Your halfling driver replies, "Ah, had a good deal on these bedrolls, you know how it is. Runns told us he found something interesting outside town, so we thought we might go investigate... Oh, by the way, I snagged you some of that yewclaw."
Grabbing it, the guard then replies, though not before mumbling something about weird goblins... "Yer a saint there Belton. Can't keep awake with these shifts otherwise. But that said, I can't pass ya along, not with them cultists running about. Gotta check every wagon, captain's orders."
Belton sounds comforting and smooth as silk as he responds, "Really sad to hear that friend... YHA!" before snapping the reins and driving the wagon forward! After just a moment of shouts and thuds he yells backwards, "Could use a hand here!"

You emerge from your hiding to find Belton nursing a guard's spear sticking from his leg, the wagon hurtling at full tilt, and several guards on horseback giving chase! Belton turns to "Muggs" (or anyone else willing to do it, though Ugost is definitely closest) while yelling "Take the reins!"


Combat will start! You must now roll initiative, thought since everyone was relying on their Perception this instance (the guards to notice anything suspect, and you to figure out what was going on outside, you'll be rolling initiative using Wisdom (Perception) (except Ugost who can roll normally, or even use wagon proficiency if he has it and takes the reins).

Garbuffel emerges from the bedrolls as the cart began to buck around as it picked up speed. He had been so comfortable. Ready to take a nap, really. And now there was a chase going on.
"Can't a cultist escape in peace?" he complained..

um. Nice horsies. Keep running. Anyone know how to drive these giant things? Belton's been stabbed. Ugost calls to the others as he turns to look at the chaising guards.
OOC:
At this point Ugost will grab the reigns only if the wagon looks to be in trouble.

I find it hilarious that all good road maps I have are not gridded... Setting up this encounter will take a bit longer than originally anticipated. Sorry about the delay...

Battle Map

Your wagon is huge, it has AC 12 and 80 HP. It has the "drawn" special ability which means it is pulled by Rummynose, which grants it a speed of 40 ft.

Here are the special rules for vehicles for whoever will be doing the driving (at the moment Ugost?). There is no need really to read past the 1st section (right before "Size").

You notice more guards making their way towards you, which means you'll be stuck in the thick of it if you don't book it. There are also other guards currently mounting their horses, which means you'll have a chase on your hands...

Zaiashi is up first!
Apr 22, 2024 4:22 pm
Observing the situation, Zaiashi says We need to keep going

He then attempts to cast sacred flame and fling it at the closest horse.
OOC:
is the roll correct like that?

Cast sacred flame and throw at horse - (1d20+5)

OOC:
No, you roll damage, the horse gets to roll a Dexterity save to negate the damage. What is your spell save DC?

Rolls

Horse's DEX Save

Ugost grabs the reigns, in a bit of a panic. The thing pulling the wagon is big! How do I drive this thing? he calls back trying his best to urge more speed from the animal
OOC:
um... What special rules?
What are Rummynose? How many are in the wagon? This is what I found but I'm having trouble seeing them as draft animals

Ps. Yes, apparently we're all going to die if you let me drive.

Land vehicle. ? Which stat? - (1d20)

(1) = 1

Apr 22, 2024 8:08 pm
OOC:
Rummynose is the name of the horse pulling the wagon. It is very much a regular horse. I also noticed I forgot to link the vehicle rules (my bad), so I've edited my start of round post to include them, but here they are again for ease of reference.. Basically, all is required of you is using a bonus action to make the vehicle move or stop moving. There doesn't seem to be any rolls necessary unless you encounter some sort of difficulty.
Apr 22, 2024 8:12 pm
Ugost urges the horse to a full gallop in an attempt to get away from the city and find some cover to lose pursuit in.
OOC:
bonus action drive fast. Action: held action to dodge?

Zariana makes a face trying to think of something special, something amazing she can do.

She twists her fingers together and liquid blue energies swirl across her finger nails, Zariana twists the energies together and they vanish.

30 feet behind the vehicle there's a sudden loud bang that sounds like an explosion. Zariana, hopes the loud noise will startle or frighten some of the horses heading towards it.

13, new try then.
Spell attack +5, is that for chance to hit? Not in this case, but in general?
