Jandral is relieved to see his companions following. He gestures for them to leave the grimlock unharmed for the time being. He continues to follow, to see where Rhod is being taken.

Haesh rushes past the downed grimlock and around the corner to see what has happened to Jandral and Rhodrick.
OOC:
Dash to Q13

Battered and bruised, the party rushes forward back into the close press of rock formations and hanging headless bodies. Tordek is able to do mental head count and realizes that Rhodrick is not visible, understanding the group's urgency.

As everyone pushes onward through the difficult terrain, the grimlock dragging Rhodrick continues westward.
OOC:
Player turn!

If you're trying to follow undetected, I'll need Stealth checks from everyone.

"The creature has paid me no heed even when I made no effort to conceal my presence, but better safe than sorry." Jandral whispers to the others. "Rhod seems to be alright. I want to see where they're taking him."
OOC:
Move to P14.

"Uh, guys we don't look so good... We know this thing is taking him westward... Do we want to follow or get Rhod and fall back. I mean look at Parallel, he looks like he is about to fall over."

Jandral pauses and looks around. Everyone but him does seem to be in bad shape. "Maybe you're right..."
OOC:
We're still doing combat rounds, right? I already took my turn, so I can't say "You guys stay here, I'll get Rhod." and blast the grimlock right now.

OOC:
Yes, your action was to Hide.

"How many villagers are missing? Are they all here? If there are any left alive, we need to find them. We can either follow this guy, or kill him, fix Rhod, and go find them on our own. Seems to me that if Rhod keeps banging his head on the cave floor there may not be much to save. And that Grimlock neeeeds an arrow in his head."


He nocks an arrow and waits for an affirmative from Jandral.
OOC:
cunning action to hide with bonus, readied action arrow

Golwen watches the scene unfolding before him, eager to help but knowing when there are too many cooks in one kitchen. Despite his exhaustion, both mental and physical, he readies himself...

OOC:
Whoever wishes to make an attack may do so. Or, Stealth checks if you're planning to Hide or follow.

OOC:
Including me? Because if yes, I'll Firebolt that shit.

OOC:
You already Hid.

For sake of clarity and context, the sounds of battle are just dying out. The Stealth checks are if you are trying to conceal your presence from the remaining grimlock.

Haesh begins running towards Rhod and the grimlock as fast he can.
OOC:
Dash... Geting as close a possible through the rough terrain.

OOC:

Golwen

Tordek begins running to catch up with the rest of the party.
OOC:
Dashing.

Parallel looses his prepared arrow!

After his shot, he moves to Rhod's side and takes a knee, staying alert for more enemies.
OOC:
move, cunning action dash

FYI, you used your cunning action to Hide.
May 26, 2017 4:54 am
OOC:
Not that it matters now...
The grimlock pauses as the sounds of armored individuals tromp through the stalagmites and hanging bodies, realizing that the intruders have bested its allies. It drops Rhodrick's leg and turns to lift its club and attack, when an arrow zips through the flickering shadows and sinks into its skull. The spiked club hits the ground at the same time as the grimlock's body.
OOC:
Combat over! Way to go!
May 26, 2017 7:23 am
Jandral joins the others by Rhodrick's side. "I seriously didn't think we were going to make it through that!" Noting that everyone is worse for wear, he says "We'll have to hole up somewhere and tend to everyone's wounds."
