Ragrok watches as the tension bursts forth into chaos, seemingly in slow motion.

Thaazur summons black tendrils from the earth while bolting away.
The firbolg blasting Hovan with a vile green beam, apparently petrifying him.
The tiefling siphoning Prince Trent's life force.
The other creature streaking lightning at the the fleeing Thaazur.
The tendrils vanishing.
The witch calling a moonbeam down on the Prince.
Xadari smashing into the witch, her morningstar ablaze with a holy light.

It all happens simultaneously.

Ragrok closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He must protect the Prince.


Salem, his owl, swoops down and in a flurry of feathers and talons obscures Akanoth's vision of the battle.

Ragrok opens his eyes, now pupiless and dark purple. He extends his shield arm as two orbs of pure force blast forth. He rushes into his enemy, following his own attack with an arcing swing of his hammer.
OOC:
Salem is performing the Help action, giving Ragrok advantage on attacks. Eldritch Blast (x2) is the first Attack, Hammer swing is the second.

Looks like the second Eldritch Blast only hits an AC of 14 or lower.

The last roll should say "Hammer damage."

OOC:
I could do something but it’s not enough to stop me from going down so I’m out cold.

OOC:
Point of order: Should Thunderous Smite only apply to the first hit? That would save Dharkath from 5 damage. Done know if that makes enough difference, but I think that's correct.

Also, Ragrok's rolls are now filled in above.

The 28 alone drops me, though this is what happens when you face a party two levels higher then yours...

OOC:
More than two levels. Ragrok is level 10. Six levels higher than either of my characters. This fight seems a tad unbalanced?

OOC:
The help action only grants advantage on the NEXT attack, not all of them

Either way, I get hit by the first blast and then the hammer for 19 damage total

"Stand down! Your leader is gone and you are outmatched!"
OOC:
I have a feeling the difference in levels has something to do with story choices that were made, cuz I for one am not level 10 and we’re in the same group.

OOC:
Was he using Action Surge to get the EBs and hammer swing? Attack and Cast a Spell are separate Actions I thought?

That was my assumption, but I now realize he would have had two attacks with the hammer *shrug*

OOC:
I wasn't using an action surge. I just get two Attack Actions. I assumed I could use one to cast a cantrip and the other to swing a hammer, but, if that's wrong, I can redo it.

OOC:
Ahh, that makes sense. You actually get two attacks when you take the 'Attack' action. That doesn't include spells, which use the 'Cast a Spell' action

So you can either cast a spell OR make two attacks with a weapon. Hope that clears it up :)

OOC:
LOL Damn I didnt realize the discrepancy in levels going into this fight...Krayt is definitely not feeling it though now with all the ass whooping getting thrown about.
Sep 7, 2018 11:35 pm
OOC:
Okay, gotcha. I feel like Ragrok would know that he can pull off the Eldritch Blast and a hammer strike in 6 seconds.

Anybody mind if I just delete the post above and start over?

The fights were balanced, but people kept dropping out. Hence why Szemely is still in the game, was hoping for a late game return. I tried to balance it out several times, but the neutral and evil groups kept diminishing, hence why there is only 1 neutral still here. Every party had been offered choices to move up different levels. My apologies to those that came later and weremt given the opportunity.

Its all good man...no need to try and justify anything...story is story...we are getting our asses kicked plain and simple lol

OOC:
Well, I'm happy to just move forward with whatever ruling is made about Ragrok's turn.
Sep 17, 2018 1:17 am
It's up to you, play how you feel Ragrock would. That said, to attack with a weapon and a spell, even a cantrip, you'd have to use an action surge. I don't full agree with this rule, but that is how it is stated in the rule book. You can hand attack with a weapon twice if you have 2 attacks, but not with spells.
Sep 18, 2018 12:43 pm
OOC:
Okay, then just knock off the hammer attack at the end. Ragrok will still move forward, hoping to make anyone approaching the prince move through him to get there.
