Episode 1: The Salvaged Job

Dec 17, 2016 6:03 pm

Kalis points a hand at the approaching bugbear, releasing a bolt of fire at the approaching monster.

Fire bolt - (1d20+5, 1d10)

1d20+5 : (5) + 5 = 10

1d10 : (2) = 2

The bugbear seems prepared now, interposing its shield between it and Kalis. The fiery missile flashes against the shield, to little effect.

"You may not be the same bugbear that ran but you smell just as bad." Coda calls out to the approaching enemy. Then turns to Kalis with a grin "Don't worry, you'll hit 'em next time." and he winks.

Casting Vicious Mockery Wisdom Save DC 14.

OOC:

Bardic Inspiration on Kalis; d6 on one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw.
Edit: My second 1 damage in a row.

Coda's words do not seem to have an effect on the bugbear (Save 18 vs DC 14). Perhaps the bugbear did not hear him, did not understand him, or it simply didn't care.

Actions left to take:
Daniel

Maenor Holimion

Maenor drops his crossbow, picks up his shield and draws his mace. He stands in a crouch behind his shield, preparing for the approaching spearman, angling his shield and watching for the opportunity to drive the expected strike away from himself and his friends.

OOC:

Maenor, are you planning to Dodge, or Readying an Action? If the latter, what are you going to do and what's the trigger?

Geno wraps himself once more in the armor of blue fire, then locks eyes with the ferocious bugbear. A maleficent heat pushes out from Geno's gaze, marking the bugbear as his quarry. His spells unleashed, Geno puts his hand on his shortsword, ready to draw and enter the fray.

OOC:

Armor of Agathys on Geno and Hex on the bugbear. The bugbear will have Disadvantage on Strength checks (but not saves, sadly).

Dodge...have edited my post to make it more clear.

Daniel draws the blade out of his cane, adopting a parrying stance.

OOC:

Dodge action!

Dec 18, 2016 8:48 pm

With a thunderous gallop, the spearman speeds past the group. The blade lashes out almost as quickly, but Maenor's well-placed shield deflects the blow (5 vs AC 17). The hobgoblin pulls on the reins as its horse passes, slowing to a stop 30 feet away and preparing to turn around.

The bugbear takes this opportunity to charge in, bellowing a challenge as it nears. It reaches 10 feet away from the party, interposing itself between you and the hobgoblin spearman. With its shield held up, it shifts its weight on its feet and seems ready to take on any attack (Bugbear Dodges, attacks against it have disadvantage).

The swordsman gallops towards the fray and closes to 210 feet.

OOC:

Player Turn!

"You can't shield yourself from the fact that you smell." Coda shouts at the bugbear. "They're at your mercy, Geno, get 'em." Coda smiles towards Geno.

OOC:

Vicious Mockery at the dodging bugbear and Bardic inspiration to Geno.

Sighing, hoping that he wouldn't have to draw upon his deeper reserves of power, Kalis lets his draconic heritage wash over him with power as he chants a few arcane words and sends a trio of magical darts at hobgoblin spearman.

OOC:

Boom!

OOC:

Would any of us get opportunity attacks on the hobgoblin?

Dec 18, 2016 9:16 pm

OOC:

That is a very good point! I apologize for missing that fact. You all get an opportunity attack as the hobgoblin rides past, and can target either the rider or the horse.

If this reaction changes your subsequent turn, let me know.

If their Opportunity Attacks manage to kill the hobgoblin, I'll change my target to the bugbear!

Daniel takes a stab at the hobgoblin while it's too busy attacking to worry about the rest of them.

OOC:

Would it trigger Sneak Attack since it was next to Maenor?

Rolls

Rapier + Sneak Attack - (1d20+6, 1d8+4, 1d6)

1d20+6 : (1) + 6 = 7

1d8+4 : (4) + 4 = 8

1d6 : (5) = 5

Daniel's rapier flicks out in an upward strike. However, as the spearman rides past, the point of the blade catches against the spear and is violently twisted away from Daniel's grip. The sword falls to Daniel's feet.

OOC:

Sneak Attack damage would apply, since your allies are close enough.

The rapier can be picked up and used on Daniel's turn. Maenor, Coda, Kalis, and Geno can make an Opportunity Attack.
