With all the ruckus, Oliver jolts awake, but struggles to stand up, still dizzy from a good nights sleep. The creature's horrid appearance finishes waking him up.

"Oi! What? Aaaaah!"

He grabs the nearest item (his bedroll) and tosses it at the creature.

Rolls

Bedroll roll - (1d6)

(5) = 5

Brewner awakes like a bolt instinctively grabbing his Warhammer.
"What awful noise was that!? What awful thing is that!?" Brewner says as he notices the creature. He is going to move toward it, putting himself between the creature and his companions

Ealdwig recoils in horror. Thrusting his blade toward the monstrosity.
OOC:
Not sure if I should be rolling one or two d6 so I did them both.

OOC:
Damn! Those are some nice rolls! Too bad the attack was at Disadvantage. No critical, but still a hit.

As a bit of explanation, if a roll has Disadvantage, it is just 1d6 irrespective of how many dice would have been otherwise used. However, you had two Actions, so I just interpreted them as two rolls, not alternative rolls. So, you get a hit and a miss for your Actions.
Ealdwig, completely unfazed by the creature's horrific appearance and screech leaps forward and attacks twice with his sword. The first hit connects, but the second misses. You makes a sling attack, but it also misses.

Wreak rushes forward and attacks, but he also misses.

The creature, wounded and seeing that it is badly outnumbered, pulls back.

Stee, being overcome but the creature's screech, quickly flees for two rounds before being able to recompose himself. When he does, he finds himself face-to-face with five more of the creatures who have just advanced on him.
OOC:
OK, they have spent their Actions getting into position opposite Stee. Stee is at Far range to everyone else, as are the five creatures who are now adjacent to him.

No one has Disadvantage anymore, as the effect is only momentary.

Rolls

Yogi sling attack - (D6)

(4) = 4

Wreak attack - (D6)

(4) = 4

My bad! Here I’ll catch up.
Grin jolts awake and rushes Havok to the back of the group, while readying his crossbow.

He then takes two shots at the creature.
OOC:
Surprise action: focus
Regular actions: two crossbow shots (first with focus)

Rolls

Crossbow - (3d6)

(142) = 7

Crossbow - (3d6)

(225) = 9

OOC:
The creature that was near Yoci and Ealdwig, retreated? Was I able to see if it ran into the dark, basically fleeing or do I think it just move back a little to regain confidence for it's next attack?

Far range means it takes a whole turn to get to him, I assume?

OOC:
The creatures are apparently not hardy, as Grin's second shot took out the one that menaced Ealdwig and Yoci. (It has pulled back, but stayed at Far to keep track of things.

On the other hand, Stee is now facing down a pretty imposing sight ...
Grin, Oliver, and Brewner are all focused on the creature that let out the screech. Brewner offered himself up for attack and Oliver went for the distraction. Grin, however, chose the offensive strategy and hit it once, killing it in conjunction with Ealdwig's successful attack.

Stee, Wreak, Ealdwig, and Yoci have yet to act this turn.

Stee and his unwanted companions are at Far from everyone else. It will take either two moves for everyone to get to him, or for him to get back.

OOC:
does my first shot at focus hit?
Oct 10, 2024 9:01 pm
OOC:
If the first shot has focus, then, yes, it would have hit. But, how did you get three Actions?

In the end, it only needed one hit to kill it. But how did you get three Actions?

Stee will pull his sword and attack the closest one and then back up with intention to keep them in sight. "Wreak to me! Heads up five more back here!"

Rolls

to hit - (3d6)

(326) = 11

OOC:
Sorry, I was late on getting in the action on the disadvantage round, so I tried to add that to my full- round actions in one post. Sorry, if I miss a round in future I’ll just roll with it :)

OOC:
Ok, it was from last turn. Gotcha!

Like I said, it didn't matter. But thanks for explaining.

OOC:
We are aware where Stee is and we have seen the creatures around him too, right?
Oct 11, 2024 1:51 pm
OOC:
Yes. That is correct.

Oliver points in Stee's direction.

"Oi, Grin downed one like a fly! But, Stee, get away from there!"
OOC:
I thought Oliver would get a turn by now, but all good, pure RP for now.
Oct 11, 2024 10:18 pm
OOC:
Oliver does have the chance to do something, but your only remaining opponents (and Stee) are Far away. So, if you wanna take a long-range pot-shot, go for it!

Also, if I wasn't clear, Stee also has his two actions. He can retreat to the group, making no attacks, or he can stand and fight alone. Or something else I can't think of. After that, the creatures get to move and we move to the next turn.

OOC:
I was thinking make one attack and back half to the group that way it would only take one move for them to reach me and maybe give these monster something to think about and make them pause. If not I will move to the group and ready myself to attack next round.

OOC:
To help you make your decision, they will have to spend a move to keep up with you for each move you make. So, if you make one move and one attack, they have to make one move and can make one attack each. If you make two moves, then they have to make two moves to keep up.
Oct 12, 2024 12:18 pm
Stee will back up towards the group with sword drawn keeping an eye on the creatures.
