Chapter 02: On the Road

The burns were severe but the stink of the Lower Planes caused Eryx even greater spiritual pain.

Staunch this, your flesh, True Flame, he thought, invoking healing energies to wash over and through him.

With only a look and a thought, Eryx sent a psionic spike at the evil cleric, undoubtedly the leader of this war band, then dismounted!

OOC:

Spending 2 sorcery points to cast both spells below subtly [without verbal, somatic, and material components].

Bonus Action: Arcane Vigor. Rolling 2 unexpended Hit Point Dice to regain a number of Hit Points equal to the roll’s total plus my spellcasting ability modifier / 4. Those dice are then expended.

Action: Mind Sliver vs Doom Hand Cleric. DC 17 Intelligence saving throw or take 2d6 Psychic damage and subtract 1d4 from the next saving throw it makes before the end of my next turn.
If the Cleric isn't a viable target, I'll attack one of the archers who hit Charm.

Move: Dismount the possibly horribly burned horse. :(

The horses are indeed hurt. None have died though.

The Doom Hand Cleric clutches his head as Eryx spell takes hold of him. He stumbles forward, then regains his composure and casts a spell of his own. A cloud of demonic spirits gathers around him, howling with intensity. He walks towards the cart.

Rivet, make a DC 13 WIS save. If you fail you take 14 points of necrotic damage, 7 if you pass.

Riv spies the doom cleric moving towards the cart. Targeting his evil counterpart, our metallic priestly fellow charges the doom cleric and swings his mace! And then, within moments, a Shield of Faith envelopes our metallic fellow!

Rivet's mace smashes the Doom Hand Cleric in the stomach, bowing him over. Then the Bladebearer, wielding a longsword and a short sword, strides up to Rivet and slashes away. His swords can't pierce the magical field surrounding the warforged.

New round! In order to speed things up we're switching to group initiative. Charm, Acolyte and Aurora go first in any order, then the bad guys, then the rest of you in any order.

Acolyte will finish closing to melee range with one of the hobs at the treeline and pull his warhammer. With the second swing, he will attempt to use his mastery of the weapon to knock the hob away from himself.

Can we get an update on which enemies are visible or in partial cover between Charm's dark god, the treelines, etc. and which appear injured? Charm would like to get out of sight of as many as possible of the groups and only be seen by one, ideally the one where Twilight Sparkle is hiding.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday.

Two of the Hobgoblins (A and B) are on the ground dying and out of the fight. They fell to the acid from Charm's spell. The other three who were in front of the cart (C, D and E) have backed up out of the cloud. All three are severely wounded. There are three Hobgoblins (F, G and H) to the right side of the road and two (I and J) to the left that are all unwounded. The Bladebearer and the Doom Hand Cleric waded through the cloud and took damage, and the Cleric also took damage from Rivet. Both of them still have more than half their hit points.

Chapter 02: On the Road

Charm scrambled awkwardly off her horse and took cover in the trees to the side of the woods with less archers (assuming she can get cover, preferably FULL cover). From over where Twilight Sparkle has been lurking invisibly within sight of the 2 archers, harsh words can be heard and tendrils of cold and fog rise. Two tentacles rise from the ground, slapping at the Doom Cleric, trying to drive him back into the darkness from which he had emerged. The familiar, meanwhile, moves invisibly as soon as he hears the spell going off, making sure to move at least 25' away though circling the 2 archers to keep everything in sight.

Hobgoblins C, D, and E retreat further up the road away from the inky cloud of darkness. They aren't running, but seem to be repositioning themselves to join their fellows in shooting arrows at you. Hobgoblin F's armor absorbs the blows from Acolyte's hammer. He drops his bow, unlimbers his shield and draws his sword, then stabs at Acolyte. Hobgoblins G and H follow suit. None of them are able to break through Acolyte's defense.
