Raishe is stunned by the attack, but upon seeing Barendd pierced by the crossbow bolt he instinctively says a prayer for Barendd.
Remembering the bandit in front of him Raishe takes a swing at him, and retorts, "That makes two of us. "
OOC:
I believe this is the roll, but it's my first time casting a spell. :S Let me know. Oh! Sorry! I believe I forgot to add a +2 because I have the life domain

OOC:
It's +6 total. +3 for the spell itself (add your ability score mod), +2 +the spell level for life domain, for a total heal of 8. Also, Healing Word is a Bonus Action, so you still have an Action you can use to attack with your mace.

@Ramen: You would also be able to cast a cantrip. Since you're 5' from the log, you could move next to it and cast Hand of Radiance, catching the two bandits on the log.

@Ramen: looks like you rolled a "natural 20" on your attack roll, also known as a "critical hit" or just "crit." Congrats! This represents a particularly effective or brutal strike, which means it auto-hits any armor class and you get to roll the damage dice for you attack again (in your case 1d6) and add that to the total damage. You don't add your +2 again, however.

i'm going to go ahead and roll that damage dice now so I can start the round again.

Rolls

crit damage die - (1d6)

(6) = 6

Heh. I missed his attack when I talked about casting a cantrip. That happens sometimes when someone edits a post. I don't get an email alert and don't realize anything was added.

Iman intercepts the advancing bandit and catches him unawares, delivering a mortal wound.
OOC:
Iman won't take that 6 damage now
Pageflap's fizzled lightning confuses the woman. She's tempted to just let the funny bird man go; he seems pretty harmless and there are plenty of people with sharp metal swinging about. She turns her back on Pageflap to face the remaining combatants.

Barendd feels the warm glow of divine magic and wakes up, the offending bolt now lying on the ground beside you. His wound has miraculously healed, although he still looks pale.

Kit makes it past the edge of the forest and ducks into the brush. As he pushes through the dense foliage, a loud howl erupts in the distance, maybe 200 or 300 feet away. It sounds like a wolf's howl, but with sickening undertones of a child's cry.

Aegar swings at the feet of the bandit leader on the log, but the disadvantage of fighting from the low ground gives the leader enough time to sidestep the attack as he loads his crossbow for another attack.

Raishe simultaneously brings Barendd back from the edge, and then drops the bandit in front of him into the mud with a single, well-placed swing of his trusty mace.

ROUND 2
INITIATIVE ORDER

1. Barendd (at log, Prone), Iman (at log)
2. Leader Bandit (on log), Crossbow Bandit (on log)
3. Bandit who attacked Kit (at log), Bandit who attack Pageflap (10ft from log)
4. Aegar (at log), Kit (in bushes, Half Cover), Pageflap (in bushes, Half Cover), Raishe (at log)
BATTLE FEATURES: Make use of these features narratively. If you do something cool with the features I might grant inspiration or a one-time advantage. Monsters can also make use of these features. For example, you don't have to ask me if there is cover available - just say you take cover in the shadowy roadside foliage.

1. Massive log roadblock*
2. Shadowy roadside foliage**
3. Crumbling stone road

* To climb will require DC 10 Athletics skill check. If you fail, you use up your turn's movement.
** Considered dim light once inside, and can provide up to half cover (+2 to AC and Dex saving throws). Also counts as difficult terrain (movement costs x2)

Yes you are prone. You probably have some space now and are considered not engaged.

Iman, with eyes now fully clouded in white (still in rage), turns toward the massive log roadblock and locks in on the crossbow wielding bandit on the left.
OOC:
Im assuming the leader is on the right, if wrong, my intent is to attack the bandit opposite the leader
"RAAHH!!", Iman roared.
Iman gets a running start to try to jump and scale the massive log.

After managing his way up the roadblock, Iman readies his weapon to make a full thrust towards the bandit and will attempt to flip his halberd and take a bonus action to bludgeon the bandit with the end of his polearm.

"YOU'RE NEXT", Iman shouted to the bandit.

Barendd opens his eyes and immediately waves of confusion rush over him. How did he end up on his back is his main question followed by what's with this hole in armor and why does my chest feel like it's holding a hot coal? This suddenly gives way to immediate and intense anger as he realizes there is fighting afoot. The bandit he had axed and a friend of his seems to be rather preoccupied on top of the log with Iman who's anger can be felt in the air. No matter the outcome it seems that our group of merry men will be having a conversation afterwards so that Barendd can have the pieces filled in for him. He rises to his feet, drawing his scimitar in his right hand as he had somehow managed to hold on to his second handaxe in his left. The most prudent action seemed to lash out at the bandit nearest to him. Seems we're in the thick of it now, eh boys? Barendd says quite generally whether to bolster he and his friends or alert the bandits that they're night would be anything but easy, the overall message was clear. He's back in the fray and quite happy to be so.
OOC:
This attack is aimed at the bandit at the log, I presume it's the one who attacked Kit.
Barennd takes a huge swing with his handaxe, aiming at the bandit's sword arm, hoping to either remove it or pin it to the log they are both standing at. Using his momentum to follow through the attack he sweeps around with his scimitar for a second attack on the bandit who made the mistake of staying too close to Barennd. This time he aims for the torso just below the ribcage, hoping for a deep slash in the vital organs.

Rolls

Attack with handaxe - (1d20+5)

(1) + 5 = 6

second attack with scimitar - (1d20+5)

(1) + 5 = 6

Damage with handaxe if successful - (1d6+3)

(1) + 3 = 4

damage with scimitar if successful - (1d6+3)

(6) + 3 = 9

Wow, double 1's! What horrible luck, Starrbeardo! But hey, in D&D this can be even more fun than a crit. It is common practice (but entirely optional) when somebody rolls a 1 or a 20 to add on some extra narrative spice to their attacks. A crit fail can be a chance to inject some humour in the game or to play up your personality/bonds/flaws.

If this was an IRL game, I'd definitely melt down those dice, or set up some serious dice shaming punishment!.

Iman dispatches the crossbowman on the log, and turns to the bandit leader, who is bleeding profusely at the shoulder. The leader lets his crossbow fall as he puts his hands in the air and backs away slowly from Iman.

"Easy now. The reward to bring us in alive is twice as high as brining us in dead. Killing us is like throwing gold down the pisser."

The other bandits see their leader surrender, their numbers cut in half in a matter of seconds, and a minor miracle performed. They don't hesitate to let their weapons fall to the ground.

Oh for fuck's sake Barendd realizes that it's great to have a plan but his anger spurred him on to try and get fancy which was as useless as suggesting Aegar take it easy on the ale at the old Chugging Chasm on a work night. His beloved hand axes were now no longer in his hands or at his side as one still seemed to be stuck in a bandit's shoulder and now one was definitely stuck in the damnable log. His attempts to follow through led to him attacking the log again, this time with his scimitar. Had the log been his for his entrails would be strewn about the path. As it was a log and logs have no known guts to Barendd the only thing he knew was he had some how managed to get back in the fight only to do fuck all. After this he and Aegar were going to have to get good and hammered. He also wondered what his party thought, seeing this ridiculous display. Hoping that he wouldn't have to explain that this was not in fact his first rodeo.
Nov 10, 2017 5:48 pm
Things seem to have gone well enough, it seems. He wasn't expecting the fight to end as soon as he jumped into the bushes, but that is indeed what had happened. It is a little embarrassing, but it has been a few years since he fought other than that time when he and Raishe snuck around the bandits. Maybe he could make it look like he did this on purpose?

"Kit Marlowe," he called to the party in Kit's own flamboyant voice. This was juxtaposed by him then using Kit's terrified scream as he points deeper into the woods. He also mimicked those strange howls he heard in that direction, waving his staff like a club. Having told them he plans on going to look for him and there might be a bit of danger, he pauses for a bit, body language a little hesitant to ask if anyone else wants to accompany him?

Iman and Raishe should probably stay behind, he had plenty of time traveling with Raishe to know he had a very good swinging arm, as he saw a month back. And Iman seemed to somehow be able to cast Blade Barrier without the magic so the two of them may be enough to keep the rest of the bandits from acting up. Barendd still has some degree of injury, and Pageflap does not know how long it is that he's been fighting. For all he knew this could have been his first fight! Though he did a number on the leader with that first axe throw....

Aegar could probably help him search better. He's pretty sure those pointy ears mean something elfy, so he can probably see in the dark. He keeps his gaze on him for a bit before wondering if maybe Aegar can help the party if the bandits get brave. Finally turning, he heads into the woods, pulling a torch out of his backpack. Best to keep it on hand in case they need a light, but whatever it was that was howling may see them better, so Pageflap opted to keep his prestidigitation spell on hold for a while longer.

Aegar laughed as he watched Barrendd yank his weapons from the log. Barendd! You felled the beast! That log will harm us no longer! Aegar joked as he shifted his battle ax to left hand. Now, what are we to do these here hoods? Aegar says thinking aloud, quickly he takes off his backpack and pulls out 50ft of Hempen rope. Using his battle ax he chops some of the rope into the 5ft segments, and puts the rest back in his pack before returning it to his back. Iman! Take this and tie up that smart mouth next to you! Aegar tosses a segment rope up to Iman before hearing a strange noise off to his side. The Kenku (whom everyone had been referring to as Pageflap) was trying to alert the group that the actor of their group Kit Marlowe had gone off running in fear into the woods.

Aegar sighed and realized that he was the only one whom would be of any real assistance in tracking their lost compatriot. Barendd, when you're finished fighting that log use this rope to tie up those other 2 bandits. They may be of some use to us. Aegar tossed the rope next to Barendd and quickly made off after Pageflap, who was already heading off into the woods.

@TheDaykinator: Pageflap would have heard the howl as well, no need to roll perception.
Nov 10, 2017 6:36 pm
Hearing the weird howling, Kit jumps out of the bushes, looking back quickly. He turns back to the battle, only to see a newly risen Barendd seemingly accepting the surrender of the bandits. Cautiously approaching the log, lest the battle erupt again, he quickly runs his hands over his clothes, dirt and debris from the bushes disappearing and the wrinkles smoothing out. Well, he says, clearing his throat. Good show, chaps. Glad I was able to get out of the way so you could have room to vanquish these fiends. He pauses as he surveys the situation. But, uh, what do you propose we do with them? He glances back toward the woods. And can we, uh, make that decision somewhere else? I think these ruffians are not the only danger in these woods.
