A half orc step out from the tree line:
He raises his arms before calling out, "Hey, Not looking for a fight here. I am going to approach. I am armed but am not interested in proving that I know how to kill."

"Aye, we know how to hurt things too, so don't try anything, eh? Approach... slowly." (Ragrock)
One of them says as he pulls his new hammer from the holster on his back and stands it head down in front of him, resting his hands on the upturned pommel.

"You can call me Krayt." The half-Orc pauses a moment. "To be honest I’m not exactly sure the reason I’m here. I was captured by a group of undead and subsequently freed by some strangers. With no where else to go I have joined them but haven’t received too many details."
Apr 23, 2018 2:33 am
Thaazur steps forward, eyebrow raised. "Making new friends, are we, Ragrok?" the ebony-skinned man says in a velvety voice.
Apr 23, 2018 11:53 am
"That has yet to be seen." Then, turning back to the new acquaintances, "Weren't there two more of you?"

"The name's Xadari. You say you were captured by undead? Where?" She casually leans her morningstar over her right shoulder, her red cloak billowing outward behind her whenever the wind picks up.
Apr 26, 2018 1:32 pm
"I was yes, was handling a bit of business and next thing I know I was overwhelmed and taken by skeletons, as was Fenkas here." Acknowleding the Firbolg. "Never found out the reason why. Was saved by strangers that we have continued sailing with until we arrived here."

"Evil bones? Hopefully not more gods... or devils... that need killing. I've just about had my fill of that for today."

As Krayt says this, Akanoth sighs and steps out from behind the trees. You see a red-skinned and red-eyed tiefling step out. He is wearing simple leather armor and carries only a simple dagger at his hip. Though he's shown himself, he says nothing.
May 1, 2018 12:13 am
Kicsi does her best to remain hidden, carefully listening to what the others are saying.
May 2, 2018 1:31 am
Fenkas walks out and stands next to Krayt, staying silent, hoping for an answer himself.
May 2, 2018 12:45 pm
"We're here with him," Ragrok gestures to the Prince, making space for him to answer.
May 3, 2018 12:46 am
"I meant the other one." He says signalling to Altharid as he steps out and bows.
May 3, 2018 12:47 am
"Greetings traveles and friends I am sure, I don't speak for our party, but indeed I do have a certain bad aura to me huh."
May 7, 2018 3:24 am
See that they are the only one left in hiding and that the others are not hostile Dharkath also slithers out. We have only just arrived on land and have not been able to explore it fully. You are the first creatures of note that we have come across
May 7, 2018 5:26 pm
Akanoth nods his agreement with Dharkath's assessment, "Something like that, yes."
May 7, 2018 5:42 pm
"Not much to be seen here anymore, to be honest. We may have been just about to leave unless I'm mistaken?" Thaazur directs this last bit Prince Tarium's way.
May 10, 2018 1:23 am
"We are here because these fools had one of my orbs, but destroyed it somehow. Now, I want them dead." Altharid says under his breath.
May 10, 2018 1:49 am
I was on a boat manned with skeletons. When breathing things beat the skeletons, it seemed prudent to stay with them.
May 14, 2018 12:46 pm
Somewhat surprised by the Mindflayer's comment, "Wait, Altharid, do you know these people?" Indicating the people they just came across.
May 16, 2018 12:57 am
"Before we met you, I was imprisoned and when freed, I could sense one of my orbs of power here on this island, and someone destroyed it. I don't know them, but I do know their kind. Always fighting for what they believe is right and never considering anything other than their "holy quests""
May 16, 2018 9:15 am
Upon hearing the words "holy quest" uttered, Thaazur's eyebrow shoots up and only years of schooling his expression enables him to resist glancing Xadania's way. "I don't know about holy quests, friend." Thaazur chuckles. "I've never done anything holy in my life!"
May 16, 2018 4:29 pm
Akanoth raises an eyebrow at Thaazur, "Never?" he asks, stretching out the word a little bit longer than it should be.

"So is that the only reason we are on this gods-foresaken island, to find your orb?"
May 21, 2018 10:21 pm
"The orb was black as night and swirled with power and mists. It was once in a fountain here, helping to keep an old friend company, unil I left and somehow lost my satchel." He replies.
May 22, 2018 12:37 pm
An orb of some kind of power, interesting development. This one is certainly interesting. Though the "holy quest" types over there could be a threat Fenkas. Kind of like Delrind in the village. They won't understand you, not the things you do or the reasons you do them. Fenkas thinks to himself as he watches the interchange between all the interested parties.
So we need to seek out this old friend of yours?

Now beginning to question his situation a little more than had mere moments ago, the half-Orc chimes in once again. "Ok, so that’s...something." Krayt motions to the newcomers. "Have you all found any fountains during your travels here?"
May 24, 2018 11:57 pm
"If by friend, you mean the twisted form of the Oracle, yes, we met her." The prince replies with a scowl.
May 30, 2018 11:37 pm
"Then it is most definitely you we have come to kill." Altharid replies with a snarl.
May 30, 2018 11:51 pm
FUCK Krayt thinks to himself.
"Hey now everyone stay calm.". the half-Orc puts his hands up "Altharid, are you certain that is our next course of action? I appreciate you guys saving me back on the boat and all but I don’t really know what is going on right now."

Akanoth's hands rest easily by his side, but a dangerous light flares in his eyes, "Tell me, Altharid, why I should kill them for destroying your orb. It hardly seems like any of my concern."
Jun 1, 2018 9:48 pm
"Do you believe these holy warriors," he spits on the ground, "Will let you just leave once they know you are in league with the dark mistress? That you have set her free upon this planet once again? Or how about the gift you delivered for the ancient one? The town you left deals with the black death now, a curse delivered by you. I guess I should be the one asking, why should I bother to help you? Perhaps the group standing over by the woods watching can come to your aid?" Altharid gestures o some figures off in the distance.

"Well, let's get it over with, then," Akanoth says to his companions with a shrug, "Which one of you wants to start it?"
Jun 19, 2018 7:48 pm
Tethys is shocked to be pointed out, but doesn't do anything but watch to see what happens.
Jun 19, 2018 8:50 pm
At Akanoth's prodding Krayt shakes his head back and forth slowly, gets a firm grip on his mace and grits his teeth, "This is not my fight, but if no one has any better options, then I guess it is what it is."
Jun 20, 2018 4:55 pm
Thaazur yawns. "Well it was wonderful chatting with you all, but if it's to be a lowly brawl I certainly have much better things to do. So long!" The ebon-skinned man starts to leave.

Intentionally not metagaming is a form of metagaming, too!Example: Monster A has a weakness to fire. Having DMed this monster numerous times, I know this, but my character may not. Not wanting to metagame, I avoid fire spells so as to not cheat. My attempt to not metagame has led me to change my character's actions, even though my first instinct may really have been to attack it with fire.
This, too, is a form of metagaming. Meta knowledge has changed the actions of my character, though in the direction that is the opposite of what you'd normally expect.

Thaazur's smirk fades as the prince grubs in the dirt. "To hell with this." the grifter mutters. This whole thing was a mistake. He should have followed his gut and stuck to his old scams, not set his sights on a prince that's not even going to live long enough for Thaazur to get paid. Time to cut his losses. Thaazur's eyes turn into black orbs and he utters a word of summoning. A rift opens in the midst of the opposing group, and hungry black tongues vomit forth, groping and slavering. Then Thaazur does what he does best: turn tail and run.

Please let me know if I'm mathing wrong.[ +- ] Thunderous Smite
The first time you hit with a melee weapon attack during this spell's duration, your weapon rings with thunder that is audible within 300 feet of you, and the attack deals an extra 2d6 thunder damage to the target. Additionally, if the target is a creature, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet away from you and knocked prone.

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.
Looks like the second Eldritch Blast only hits an AC of 14 or lower.
The last roll should say "Hammer damage."

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

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.

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.

As the ship of Trent rounding the coast comes upon a small vessel, Tethys hears the call of the living ship and takes his leave, maybe to head back to the woods with the tree bender elves, or where ever the ship takes him.
Trent turns towards the other coast and sets sights on the last ship. The black sails hang low and they never see him coming. With a few precise strikes, they send the ship to the depths. "Let their foul stench be left on the island, maybe to be cleansed and built anew."
When a rat is trapped, it always finds a way to escape, a is such with everything, the remaining souls on the island are no different, especially a very dark and vengeful soul... but that is another tale.
*Camera zooms out with Altharid sitting in his fountain as he cackles maniacally.*
