Re: 3rd Level Test #1

"Get back here young man!" Stacy thumps the running Hook Horror as it turns to flee.

"And you, child, really. Your actions have been deplorable. Someone ought to teach you a lesson. If you were my pet, you'd be eating out of my hand and be potty trained within a week!"

Stacy gives Hooked Horror 2 a good thumping and keeps him pinned to the spot.

HH1 takes 13 damage. HH2 takes 11 damage.

Re: 3rd Level Test #1

"Tentacles are so cool. Watch! Yatcha!!" One of Tip's whips lashes out to catch the hook horror as it flees. (HH1 takes 7 damage)

"Oh, weird," Tip exclaims, looking over the gnolls. "They're like... dog... people?" Her assessment distracts her aim, and her whips crack harmlessly over their heads.

"Not so fast monster!" Zigurd exclaims as he slashes at the Hooked Horror on the run.

As the flaming blade rakes the fleeing beast, Ziggy’s eyes come upon the gnoll hunting party.
"Perfect! More flesh for the fire!" he calls out with a grin

OOC:

@MattParody - This format of combat takes a bit to get used to, but after using your reaction to make an opportunity attack, you also still have your action for Round 2 to do whatever you'd like. So don't forget to use it!

Golly @Araklusta, you can say that again. Apologies

Zigurd takes the newer threats head on as he rushes into comabt with the lead gnoll (Gnoll 1?)
Red Tooth held low as he charges in, "Bah! Your smell will never come out of those pelts. FOOD FOR THE FIRE!!" Zigurd announces as he makes an upward slash.

Re: 3rd Level Test #1

Making sure he is a safe distance away from the fight, Zanzur utters a word of power, and three glowing darts of arcane force streak from his hands and slam into one of the gnolls.

OOC:

Casting Magic Missile. And infusing two more charges into Corunir's armor for a total of 6 charges!

Re: 3rd Level Test #1

OOC:

@Campeador - watch out! You can only infuse charges when you cast Transmutation spells (Magic Missile is Evocation). Also, it *should* be that the max number of charges that a suit of armor can hold at one time is your intelligence modifier - but looking at it right now that doesn't seem very clear in the rules. We'll get that cleared up.

Re: 3rd Level Test #1

OOC:

Here's the revision for Armor Infusion. There was actually a miscommunication between Araklusta and I when I originally wrote up the feature, so sorry about that! (It should also be fixed on D&D Beyond, if you're using that.)

[ +- ] Armor Infusion

OOC:

EDIT: I forgot to add one important phrase in there, but I've added it now: "you can use your reaction to expend and detonate all of the charges," (so if it has 3 charges, you have to detonate all 3; you can't only detonate 1 and save the other 2 for later)

Hopefully that's the only major hiccup with wording mistakes for now

Re: 3rd Level Test #1

Round 2 Summary

Filthy jaws dripping froth, three of the gnolls leap forward to engage the party, while one hangs back looking for a chance to hurl its spear.

Ziggy meets these new foes head on, and his upward slash leaves a burning furrow across the chest of the foremost gnoll. The resulting yip of pain sounds maddened as the gnoll continues its whining chuckles. It thrusts its spear forward, but Ziggy easily sidesteps the blow. A second gnoll joins the first, and manages to sink the tip of its spear into the barbarian's shoulder - but that is hardly enough to bother the mighty warrior (After resistance, Ziggy takes 4 piercing damage).

The gnoll in the back spots a seemingly-easy victim and throws a spear at Tip. The young ranger shows uncanny reflexes, however, as she ducks away from the projectile.

One gnoll, thinking itself clever, slips around the tougher combatants and moves to strike at Stacy. It announces its presence with a shrill squeal of glee - and Stacy twists away to avoid the stabbing spear.

Seeing the woman distracted, the hook horror tries to kick Stacy away, but the woman's stubbornness knows no bounds. The creature can only look on as it's partner escapes into the tunnels.

Re: 3rd Level Test #1

Stacy's maternal instincts kick in and her attack looks more like a spanking than anything. It seems to be painful to the Hook Horror, but do no real physical damage.

"That's it, early bedtime for you Hook Henry Horror!"

"Yatch- ...ah." Tip's first whip leaves a bloody gash in one gnoll's side, but she isn't quite able to get a satisfying enough crack out of her second whip.

Gnoll 1 takes 6 damage.

Re: 3rd Level Test #1

Round 3 Summary

The battle grows fierce as the gnolls tear into the companions and Ziggy, Corunir, and Tip each take a wound (Ziggy and Corunir each take 6, and Tip takes 7). Between them, the three manage to take down the lead gnoll, but the other three continue their mad giggling. The one who hung back before now joins the other on the front line (Gnoll 3 is now up next to Gnoll 2, both engaged with Ziggy and Corunir).

Witnessing the fierce battle, the hook horror decides it is through with this insane woman grabbing its leg. It brings both heavy claws down onto Stacy, clubbing her to the ground with ferocious strength, then wheels about and stomps away after the other monster (Stacy takes 23 damage, is reduced to 0 hp and is knocked unconscious).

The gnoll nearest to Stacy swipes at the departing hook horror, but then it's yellow eyes fall onto a much more tempting target. It slams its spear into Stacy's shoulder and drags the woman across the stone floor to a nearby wall. Then it leans over her with its drooling hyena maw, ready to begin its feast (Stacy takes another 12 damage, which counts as 2 failed death saves).

OOC:

Stacy is pretty much toast, but you might be able to help her! Ziggy and Corunir will risk opportunity attacks from gnolls 2 and 3 if they move, though.

Gnolls 2 and 3 are up close by Corunir and Ziggy.

Is it too late to use my 3rd round reaction to detonate those charges? Also, any feedback on Jabes' question?

Re: 3rd Level Test #1

OOC:

Not too late! This is the point that, yes, you use your reaction from last round to detonate. Given the situation, I think Corunir can position himself to catch gnolls 2 and 3 in the blast without hurting his friends. Gnoll 4 is too far away.
