That is two too many spider-men thinks Domarc.

Sorry, that should have been +4 - total of 8

OK, sorry I've been so inactive! I'm baaaaack!

Mordred nods towards Domarc. "Let's crush that spider-man, and then that other spider-man."

These are Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt references, if you are wondering WTF I am talking about.

The humans slip out of the way as the beasts charge toward the party. Above you, you hear the rustle of agitated spiders in their webs.

Edit: Combat order is beasts, party (any order), spiders.

One beast charges Zangua, the other launches itself at Felor beside him.

Edit 2: Felor pivots swiftly out of the way of the oncoming beast. Zangua stands his ground and takes an immensely powerful swing from the beast's claws, but shoves the pole of his glaive between the beast's slavering jaws and avoids a painful bite.

Party, you may take your actions.

Can I see how many spiders there are in the webs, and where they are? Mordred is trying to judge if he can get a good percentage of them in the 15' cone of Burning Hands. It would also ignite the webs they are crawling around on, I think.

I have some questions about Hypnotic Pattern - it is a 30 foot cube and each creature that can see the cube is affected;
is it possible for me to cast this spell and have it not impact the party, especially now that Zangua and Felor are in combat?

Jan 23, 2018 6:57 pm

Mordred can see about a dozen spiders, three of which would be directly overhead. It's hard to get an accurate count, though, as some of them may still be hiding in the shadows or on the undersides of the webs. Assume you could get at least three within any given cone radius.

With both beasts engaged with Zangua and Felor, it'd be next to impossible to center the hypnotic pattern without affecting them.

Mordred slips around Zangua and the beast attacking him in the dim light and attempts to stab the creature in the back with the magical dagger.

Zangua lances his glaive out as the beast charges, then brings his weapon up defensively. He winces as the claws dig through his armor. With the beast's jaws drooling over his glaive, he spins the staff around to slash down toward the legs, while bringing the blunt end up for a crack against the skull.

OOC:

Using Polearm Master, I'd like to roll Opportunity Attack for when the beast entered my melee range of 10 feet. If it doesn't apply, just ignore the roll.

Domarc stares at the beast confronting Felor, mouth moving in a silent whisper, and casts Dissonant Whispers.

Quote:

You whisper a discordant melody that only one creature of your choice within range can hear, wracking it with terrible pain. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 3d6 psychic damage and must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from you. The creature doesn’t move into obviously dangerous ground, such
as a fire or a pit. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage and doesn’t have to move away. A
deafened creature automatically succeeds on the save

Felor of the Mountain

Seeing the beast charge, Felor holds his shield up and pivots, deflecting the attack to the side.
"Fjorgyn! Bring us your light!" he proclaims as a golden pillar of flame descends from above towards the beast in front of him.

Cast Sacred Flame on the beast attacking me.

Quote:

The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d8 radiant damage. The target gains no benefit from cover for this saving throw.

edit: sorry, missed the Dissonant Whispers above, I'll cast anyway whatever the result of that.

S'all good; I was thinking about keeping you clear of melee if possible and if it takes full effect, you should get a chance at an opportunity attack as well

Leth Everwood

Jan 25, 2018 5:46 am

Leth, knowing where he's most useful, hangs back and lets loose two arrows at the closest assailant.

What kind of check would I need to do to see if I can figure out any useful information about these creatures?

edit: forgot to add colossus slayer damage. Only applicable if the target has already taken damage.

Zangua and Mordred tear into the first beast with their weapons while Felor and Domarc unleash a subtler offense against the other.

Edit: The beast shrieks and hisses as it is assailed by dissonant melodies and holy light. While it is thus distracted, Leth puts two arrows into the beast's flank.

Domarc hears a soft thud as a spider drops from the ceiling and lands beside him.

Leth, you can make an Arcana check to see if you know anything about these creatures.

Edit 2: Zangua barely notices the spiders bouncing off of his shoulders; Felor quickly swats away the one that lands on his head. Mordred, however, feels something hand on the back of his neck, immediately followed by a sharp stinging pain.

Mordred, make a CON saving throw.

Making Mordred's saving throw for him!

One beast remains focused on Felor, snapping and swiping at him, while the other whips around to attack the backstabbing Mordred.

Edit: Mordred feels a dull burning sensation from the spider bite as he ducks away from the beast's wild claw swipes. The beast falls upon him, sinking its fangs into his shoulder. Felor blocks the swinging arms of the beast attacking him, but leaves his own arm extended for the beast to chomp down on.

The two humans slip through the west exit together while the fighting rages on.

Party, you're up.
