Aegar brandishes his shield in his left hand, and his battle-ax in his right. He hasn't felt such a rush of adrenaline since his days in the service of the Empire, but he was too naive back then; too worried of losing all he had earned. Today Aegar felt no sense of such worry, he stood his ground more confident than he had in years. Holding his shield in place, he readies his axe for any slugs or tentacles that enter is range. He shouts out to the group Get in tight boys! These bloody slugs aren't going to make this one easy!

Iman's strike leaves a deep gash in the fleshy tentacle whipping at the party's feet. Violet slime sprays out of the wound, but it continues to writhe threateningly.

Re: Game Posts

The grubs run headlong into the front ranks, spitting acid from their orifice. Their ferocity breaks through Barendd and Aegar's defences.

Barendd takes 7 acid damage, Aegar takes 3 acid damage.

Rolls

2 attacks against Barendd - (1d20+1, 1d20+1)

1d20+1 : (1) + 1 = 2

1d20+1 : (18) + 1 = 19

2 attacks against Aegar - (1d20+1, 1d20+1)

1d20+1 : (18) + 1 = 19

1d20+1 : (12) + 1 = 13

Acid damage on Barendd - (1d6+1)

(6) + 1 = 7

Acid damage on Aegar - (1d6+1)

(2) + 1 = 3

Re: Game Posts

The tentacles whip out, striking all around them. Raishe fends off the two front monstrosities with his shield while Kit gracefully sidesteps a third, but Pageflap is caught flatfooted as tentacle wraps around his leg and squeezes.

OOC:

Note: they have a reach of 10 feet

Pageflap takes 5 damage and is grappled.

OOC:

Grappled creatures use movement, but can otherwise do all other combat actions normally such as attack or cast spells. To break a grapple, you can use an action to roll an athletics check to see if you can break their hold with brute strength. Killing the grappler works too :)

OOC:

Note to G3rmanicus: only movement will trigger your polearm 1d4 reaction attack opportunity attack, not attacks. But, I'll give it to you if the tentacles attack YOU specifically, because that would look cool :) In general, I want you to get the most out of your ability.

Rolls

Front: 2 attack on Raishe - (1d20+3, 1d20+3)

1d20+3 : (7) + 3 = 10

1d20+3 : (11) + 3 = 14

Rear: 1 attacks Kit, other attacks Pageflap - (1d20+3, 1d20+3)

1d20+3 : (7) + 3 = 10

1d20+3 : (16) + 3 = 19

Bludgeoning damage on Pageflap - (1d6+1)

(4) + 1 = 5

You can also use a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to escape a grapple.

OOC:

The reaction attack is a regular attack of opportunity. The 1d4 attack is the bonus action attack with the blunt end of the polearm.

Also, G3rmanicus, you need to roll damage for Iman's attack (I'm assuming a 22 hits). It's best to roll your damage at the same time you roll your attack to save time in PbP.

Argh, these slugs are nasty
Barendd takes a large sweeping backhand swing with his off hand and follows with a large sweeping swing with his dominant hand hoping to cleave one or two of the slugs in half with his handaxes.

Re: Game Posts

You slam your axes into the slug and gruesomely cleave the hideous monster. In it's death throes, the creature's acid sac errupts and sprays acid 5 feet in every direction!

OOC:

Barendd and Aegar, make a dexterity saving throw, DC 11. To do so, roll 1d20 + your dex saving throw modifier. If you get a total of 10 or less, you take full damage (1 acid damage this time). Otherwise, you take no damage.

Corpse acid expulsion - (1d4)

Re: Game Posts

Aegar is hurriedly trying to brush off the acid from his clothing when he see's Pageflap stumble as he gains his balance, after being grabbed by a tentacle. Aegar feels the adrenaline coursing through him as he charges over to assist his friend. In a heavy blow, he swings his battle-ax down in an attempt to cut off the tentacle.

Rolls

Battle Ax Melee Attack - (1d20+5)

Re: Game Posts

Aegar's ax sinks deep into the tentacle, purple blood spurting from the wound. But, it stubbornly clings to Pageflap's leg.

OOC:

Good tactics to try to free Pageflap, Daykinator! But, it is still alive and the grapple still holds. Note that you need to roll a dex saving throw as per this post, which I didn't finish editing until you posted yours.

I suppose that Aegar moving away from the grubs that attacked him could have triggered two opportunity attacks, but i'll let it slide because I forgot. Posting this just for reference to inform future tactics.

Re: Game Posts

It was amazing how quickly it took Pageflap to realize what a bad idea it was to poke the root. Pain shot up his leg and he gave out a squawk as he tries to focus on the moment. Feeling dizzy from the pain, he realizes that another attack like that would probably knock him out, mage armor or no.

Much of his focus suddenly comes back to him all of a sudden. Looking towards the suddenly loosened tentacle, he sees Aegar's ax embedded into its flesh. Taking that moment, he reaches towards the tentacle with his talons, the sound of static emanating from his throat.

OOC:

If this kills the tentacle I'll edit in Pageflap retreating from it, unless I can do something else to escape it due to it being shocked

Re: Game Posts

Pageflap sends a jolt of electricity through his talons and arcing through the tentacle. It spasms wildly, then crumbles into ash, falling away from your leg.

You can't help but notice that the network of tentacle roots pulse with violaceous light as you cast the spell, this time brighter than when Kit cast prestidigitation. Similarly to Kit's experience, the cancerous mass from which the grubs came from surges brightly, then subsides.

OOC:

If you run away, Pageflap will take an attack of opportunity from one tentacle. Let me know if you want to take the risk, Jacketch.

OOC:

Daykinator, I'm just going to do your saving throw now so we don't forget, and so you don't have to read through 100 posts to catch up. Result: you succeeded and took no additional damage.

Aegar narrowly dodged out of the way of the acid from the dying grub.

Re: Game Posts

You are fighting me! Iman yells at the front rank of tentacles who failed to attack the team's cleric.

He moves forward 5 ft towards the same tentacle he attacked and makes another sideways chop to the opposite side he gashed earlier in attempt to finish it off, and following through with a bludgeoning attack with the end of his polearm as a bonus.

OOC:

This is assumed to take action after Raishe makes his move

Pageflap was planning on backing away, but seeing the spare tentacle wave in his direction changed his mind.

Re: Game Posts

Kit nearly screams as the tentacle lashing out at him brushes passed. He stumbles back a few more steps and then actually does scream, but it sounds like it's coming from behind the tentacled creature.

OOC:

Casting Minor Illusion to project the sound of a scream from behind the tentacled creature to distract it, giving the Help Action to the next person to attack it (roll with advantage).

Remember, guys, the next person to attack the tentacle creature rolls their attack twice and takes the highest roll. No one took an advantage roll from Kit's last Help Action.

OOC:

@G3rmanicus: You have to roll a separate attack for your polearm bludgeoning attack.
