Chapter 1, Day 1 Morning: The Witchwood

Jul 21, 2015 3:12 am

"Leave one for me, will ya??" I dart quickly in front of Corban, turning at an angle towards the hobgoblin and giving my rapier a flourish before jabbing at it.

Re: Chapter 1: The Witchwood

Xara's blade strikes the hobgoblin in the side and it topples over, clutching the bleeding deep wound she cut into its gut.

Xara hits for 4 Damage, which is enough to kill.

Xara, you add your Proficiency Bonus (+2) and your Dexterity (+3) to Attack Rolls with a Rapier (because it's Finesse you can use Dexterity instead of Strength). You also add your Dexterity bonus to Damage rolls with the Rapier (again, because it's Finesse you can use Dexterity instead of Strength).

Re: Chapter 1: The Witchwood

The hobgoblin Kaiakas engaged lunges at him with its longsword. Its reckless attack finds a gap in the target's defense, and Kaiakas is savagely struck on the arm.

The other two pull back their bows and let arrows fly at the rest of the group. Xara, who is standing out front, is grazed by an arrow, and Rurik manages to avoid one aimed for his chest.

The door of the farmhouse to the side of the road swings open and two larger hobgoblins and a hell hound step out and survey the battle. One of them is wearing blackened metal armour and the other is dressed in multicolour robes. The robed hobgoblin grabs a holy symbol around his neck and begins to chant, a shield of magical energy wraps itself around the larger hobgoblin who lets out a vicious warcry and charges the group. The hell hound is hot on his heels. The two reach Corban and Xara and engage them in combat.

A 20 hits Kaiakas for 8 Damage
A 16 hits Xara for 2 Damage
A 15 misses Rurik

Hobgoblin 1 and 2 are not engaged and have longbows out (along the left ridge)
Kaiakas is engaged with Hobgoblin 3 (along the right ridge)
Corban and Xara are engaged with Armored Hobgoblin and Hell Hound (at the fork in the road)
The Cleric is standing haflway up the road to the farmhouse

The rest are behind Corban and Xara. You are not engaged, but moving away from here will require moving through the woods, which will take a full round of movement (no attack) to cross and reach the Cleric.

Re: Chapter 1: The Witchwood

"Cute armour, big guy" Corban says with a surprising amount of levity even though he's covered in blood from the previous kills. Corban lunges at the armoured hobgoblin, angling his attack so that he'll hopefully turn his back to Xara.

Zaris manages to lead his crossbow and from his vantage point takes aim at the cleric hobgoblin. "Try chanting with a bolt through your neck!" he mumbles to himself letting the missile fly.

Re: Chapter 1: The Witchwood

Corban's blade slams into the hobgoblin's side, his blade finding a gap between the plates and coming away slick with blood. The goblin hefts his greatsword in preparation for a counter attack.

Zaris' crossbow bolt flies into the dense woods and doesn't emerge, having lodged itself firmly into a tree.

Corban hits for 13 Damage
Zaris misses - the Disadvantage was indeed called for.

Also, Xara, as a reminder, you get Sneak Attack damage when you attack an enemy that an ally is Engaged with (such as the big armoured hobgoblin Corban and you are both engaged with) so don't forget the bonus damage (you got it against the last target too, but it wouldn't have made a difference).

Re: Chapter 1: The Witchwood

The hobgoblin is unable to attend well to both opponents, and keeps most of his attention on Corban. This affords Xara the opportuntiy to find a gap in his layers of plate in which to thrust the thin point of her rapier and stab a soft flesh part of his body. The blade comes back slick with blackened blood.

Xara hits for 14 Damage.

Rurik and Kaiakas are left.

Kaiakas' blade strikes hard, taking a large chunk out of his foes cheap leather armour and his flesh, but he remains standing. If barely.

Seeing the cleric on the other side of the trees, my eyes narrow and a voice not wholly my own says "Your pitiful God can do nothing to protect you." I extend a finger and a now familiar blast jets toward the cleric

Re: Chapter 1: The Witchwood

Rurik's eldritch blast, like Zaris' bolt, goes into the wooded divide between him and his target and never emerges.

The cleric presses his hands together as he walks up behind the armoured hobgoblin. They glow white and he places them on his companions back. The hobgoblin straightens and surges towards Corban with renewed vigour. He hefts his greatsword and it slams into the ground where Corban had been a moment before he stepped to the side.

The two hobgoblins with longbows set their sights on Corban and loose arrows. Both arrows land in the dirt on either side of him.

Finally, the hobgoblin engaged with Kaiakas thrusts his longsword forward and catches the paladin cleaning in the side. The blade cuts deep and the hobgoblin howls with delight.

Cleric uses Cure Wounds.
Corban is missed by three attacks.
Hobgoblin hits Kaiakas with a 24 (critical hit) for 11 Damage

The cleric is no longer obscured by the woods so you can make those ranged attacks without disadvantage

The blade cuts into me, stealing my strength and making me fall to the ground as my vision begins to fail.

"Seems you've touched a nerve and made yourself a target, Corban!" Seeing the hobgoblin fail miserably at hitting Corbin, I attempt to show him how it's done! This time, I aim for his neck.

Re: Chapter 1: The Witchwood

Xara stabs upwards, but her rapier is deflected by a thick metal ridge that runs along the top of the hobgoblins chest plate.

Zaris sees Kaiakas go down and rushes to his aid. "Hang in there my friend," he says, applying as much pressure to the wound as possible.

Re: Chapter 1: The Witchwood

Zaris rushes up the ridge and along the woods towards his fallen companion. He reaches him, kneels and begins to apply pressure to the most recent wound. The hobgoblin that wounded him, looms over the mage.

Corban swings wide and catches nothing but armour with his attack. The hobgoblin laughs heartily, feeding on the frenzy and adrenaline of battle, and raises his sword over his head once more.

Corban misses. Gloriously, but he misses.
Zaris will need to double move to reach Kaiakas, as such that medicine roll will be used next round to stabilize.

Rurik is left
