Hi! I think I'm back:) I have read this thread since my last post. It seams Zean was very effective under your control! Thanks for boting him! As I can see that Zean have made his attack this turn already (thanks again!), I will start to post his actions next turn. I presume due the Christmas surprise he is at full HP and have all spell slot active again?

@badbaron your turn for round 5 pending

Despite her lack of success, Lude continues to try the same thing. It may not be the wise move but the damn thing moved once, and from what she could see, it didn't look undead.

"Come out of that circle, you cursed Grung," she grunted as she cast and pulled again.

Firebolt hot the ground not hitting the invisible creature.
Bear manages to bite the invisible creature, but claws swing in the air.
Tante Lude feel creature keep avoiding here magic and telekinetic powers, she start to believe creature have some sort of resustance against her magic.
Zean though manage to hit creature with his sword, adding the thunder damage granted by his divine powers.
Meawhile Ixions body flickers and next moment you see a different body - the human that lie on the floor - the different human seems alive. He is wearing a Breastplate and looks surprised at you only be hit by a sword attack from the invisible creature another swing hits Zean and someone bites Bear
OOC:
Bear - 7 HP, Zean -7 HP, Vesuvius - 6 HP
OOC:
@WhiteDwarf please provide short visual description of your PC with your next turn action. Your PC is prone but otherwise could behave as normally. And yes enemy fit you through your AC 20

Splint Mail, not Breadtplate. Sry for the typo.
Lying on the ground with his splint armor perhaps riddled with grime, a black-bearded Tethyrian fellow clenches gaunleted fist. His teeth ground together seemingly in anger. The look on his face is one of a man about to emotionally explode, further confirmed as his clenched fist begins shaking!

The armored fellow exudes a troublesome and drawn-out (Sigh), and quickly opens his fist. He hand stretched out as though it’s reaching for something.

He gazes up from dungeonous floor with worrisome hazel eyes.

AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Vesuvius erupts with a violent shout, as a wound opens up from a foe unknown and unseen. His gauntleted hand outstretched, it becomes clear what he’s reaching for…a longsword, lying precariously nearby. As our paladinic fellow grabs the weapon…he blinks, and shudders. Disturbed by…something. A vision, perhaps?

Undeterred by his wound or his shuddering premonition, Vesuvius rises to armored feet. Along his left arm, a shield - the emblem of the Zhentarim emblazoned thereupon. And in his other hand…now, the longsword.

His vision untrammeled by any darkness, Vesuvius swings around, towards the priest and the bear being assailed, looking for his opponent. He follows the violent strike, guesses its source, and takes a swing!
OOC:
If I can swing at where I think the source of the enemy’s strike is coming, then I’ll do that.

Rolls

Longsword (Hex Warrior) - Attack - (1d20+9)

(1) + 9 = 10

Longsword (Hex Warrior) - Damage - (1d8+5)

(5) + 9 = 14

It seemed to Tante Lude that the Grung must have some immunity or resistance to her spells. So, she tried a different technique. Summoning a spiritual hammer from the forces that surround her, she tried to bring it down on the Grung. Then stepping forward into the circle she followed that up with a strike from her real hammer, amplified by her divine power.

Rolls

Spirit weapon (bonus, no concentration) - (1d20+8)

(10) + 8 = 18

Spirit weapon (force damage) - (1d8+4)

(2) + 4 = 6

War hammer - (1d20+5)

(11) + 5 = 16

War hammer damage (not magical) - (1d8+1)

(3) + 1 = 4

Divine strike (1/turn, radiant, on weapon attack) - (1d8+4)

(4) + 4 = 8

OOC:
Do we have any idea if the invisible enemy is standing on the ground or flying? I wonder if Zean could use:
[ +- ] 5lvl: Destructive Wave; 1A; Self(30 radius); Instant
directed at it?
Jan 9, 2025 10:01 am
OOC:

- It does not say "creature you see", so you can target your invisible enemy
- Zean don't know, but I could hint some of PCs know is it flying or not, but has not share with rest of PCs just yet. Talking is free in 5e combat, though I always suggest you keep conversation short (keep in mind turn is 6 seconds and spell casters spend at least some of if for verbal component)
Jan 10, 2025 3:00 pm
OOC:
"someone bites Bear" Since we have established attacking reveals attackers location I assume all attacks originate from the same location, current invisible creature spot on map?
Nyx

Nyx tries to bite ahold of the invisible foe and move it to the south wall grapple attack and move 20' down/south if success

Rolls

Grapple - (1d20+5)

(10) + 5 = 15

Jan 10, 2025 3:11 pm
OOC:
Yes you perfectly know where the creature is and can do that. Just posted some details in rules thread.
Rolling opposed skill check for enemy. And you did it.

Rolls

Grapple opposed check - (1d20+3)

(9) + 3 = 12

Jan 10, 2025 3:26 pm
OOC:
Cool, I was just making sure there were not more attackers and curious about the different attack types that seem to match the attack type of the party members. Can I make a claw attack? Not sure how grapple works with multiattack
Any changes to the creature when leaving the circle?
Nyx
The bear lunges forward and snaps his jaws around something before shoving it roughly up against the wall, pinning it there before slamming a paw into it.
[ +- ] Grappling
[ +- ] Conditions = invisible + grappled

Rolls

claw - (hit:1d20+9, dmg:2d6+5)

hit:1d20+9 : (7) + 9 = 16

dmg:2d6+5 : (53) + 5 = 13

Jan 10, 2025 3:56 pm
OOC:
Why, not, do also the claw attack, more damage sooner we finish combat :)
I will narrate result and if any changes when move creature out - either when see @Pedrop turn or over the weekend after I cast Destructive Wave on behalf of Zean
Jan 10, 2025 10:57 pm
Zean quickly fallows Nyx dragging with himself the invisible enemy and pinning it against the wall.
"Now! Let's end it!" - Zean shouts while his eyes already start to be brighter and first sparks of electricity start to flow between his pupils and his handsome eyebrows and beard, growing and spreading over his shoulders and arms, and finally over whole of his body. He takes out his trusty Maul, tucked behind his belt in both hands... rises it, focusing the whole electric energy collected in his body and injecting it in the weapon to finally... hit the ground with all of his might and fury of thousand a raging storms!

BLAM! - the very essence of reality seams to be electrocuted in front of Zean and traveling with the speed of light towards their enemy with all of its mass and energy.
OOC:

So using:
[ +- ] 5lvl: Destructive Wave; 1A; Self(30 radius); Instant
Having enemy pinned to wall and using this spell feels very thematic to me! Almost as we would plan it Nyx! :)

Rolls

thunder damage - (5d6)

(56363) = 23

radiant damage - (5d6)

(63351) = 18

OOC:
@thorsman99 @WhiteDwarf please don't forger disadvantage next time, it's still invisible.
[ +- ] Invisible
As an exception I take your rolls as is

Everyone - I'm going to spoil what Tante Lude see assuming she shares
Nyx, your claw don't ding the target, but Tinkara's firebolt does. Tanete Lude swing her Warhammer, but enemy avoid the blow, though magical hammer hits.

Vesuvius stands up and start swinging his weapon at the possible opponent, but he is still confused by recent teleportation and his swings are aimless.

Meanwhile Tante Lude see how Zean's magic affects the grog-like creature: it manages to escape the major waves as if reading the magic, smaller waves still hurt it severe.
OOC:
If not clear - it passed on dex save taking half damage and not falling prone. only attacks that hit were spiritual weapon and firebolt. Enemy still above 50% HP
As bear push the enemy toward the wall ... you only hear creature start changing magic words, but see no other visual difference. Neither does Tante Lude. Well it's only the pentagram that is now broken. Tante Lude also see that creature keeps healing some of his wounds.

As the chanting ends a fireball erupts. Zean, Tanle Lude, Bear, Vesuvius - you are all hit by the firaball
OOC:
DC 14 Dex save to only take half of the damage I've rolled - see below
And it is your turn
[ +- ] MAP

Rolls

Firaball! Damage - (8d6)

(25226222) = 23
