Stormraider Keep (A M.E.T.A.L. Campaign)

Gere misses his Attack.

New Creature attempts to swing a Claw at Gere as he moves back:

(Claw Attack: 8, Damage: 5)

Meanwhilewhile Freke hits with his attack.

(New Creature STR Save: 12)

The  New Creature is knocked to the ground but is immediately able to regain some of its feet (It's hard to tell arms from legs with this thing, 'feet' seem to be whichever limbs are touching the ground!)

(Aurelius is up for Round 2; I'll probably have to update the map tonight.)

The paladin leaps forward with flaming blade held aloft, seeking to "dis-arm" the creature.  He will again call upon divine energy, but only for the first attack to hit.  (If both attacks hit, only count the radiant damage for the first attack)

First Longsword Attack: 14 Damage: 5 slashing + 4 fire damage + 6 radiant damage

Second Longsword Attack: 14 Damage: 9 slashing + 5 fire damage + 7 radiant damage

If possible Elyria swiftly hides (Bonus action Hide: 26 ) before peeking around the corner and firing another arrow at the aberration.
Longbow: 26 Damage: 6  (Go with first roll if hiding unsuccessful or not possible)
(Bonus crit damage: 4 )

If possible Gere and Freke throw themselves at the six-armed abomination, fangs bared. (Prepared for an AoO if necessary.)

Gere Bite: 15 advantage due to pack tactics Damage: 8
If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. 

Freke Bite: 17 advantage due to pack tactics Damage: 10
If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. 

(Pre-posting to not slow us down :-)

Round 2

Both of Aurelius' attacks hit the aberration.  Elyria is able to hide and then attack the creature, her shot also hitting.  

(Flynt is now up.) 

(Also, there is a door just north of where Elyria is located.  I assumed it swings open/closed easily so didn't hinder your movement through. Would Flynt have left it open or made sure it was closed? Or didn't pay much attention and just let it go however it went?)  

(Flynt wouldn't have closed any doors. Hinders a possible escape route.)

Flynt takes a bonus action to decide his move. Something about this situation doesn't seem quite right He uses his insight to try and discern if the creature is actually attacking or just defending itself. 9

If his intuition tells him nothing or that the creature is truly a threat he will attack. Other wise he'll tell the others to disengage and back off.

Attack: 20 Damage: 15

Attack: 10 Damage: 17

Round 2

Flynt's insight seems to tell him that the creature is being aggressive towards the group. One of the two shots hit the New Creature, finally killing it.  

(Gere and Freke therefore do not attack with no target. I'm assuming they stay put.)

Another "Eelhead" appears coming through the door near Flynt. (Eelhead  2) 

Through the door near Elyria you see another even larger "Eelhead" coming down the stair towards you. (Eelhead M)

Initiative Order
Aurelius
Elyria 
Flynt
Gere and Freke (rolled these above since they were not included)
Eelhead 2
Eelhead M

(Aurelius is now up for Round 3) 

(Also, my apologies again. I thought I had updated this last night! So I was wondering why there was no activity today...  and it was me!  Sorry.) 

Updated Map

The paladin, not being able to see the larger opponent from his position, sprints to Eelhead two (K16)("sprint" being a relative term in full plate armor), and begins to hack and slash.

First Longsword Attack: 17 Damage: 6 slashing + 4 fire damage

Second Longsword Attack: 13 Damage: 10 slashing + 3 fire damage

(the fire damage did not auto-double on the crit, so add +4 more)

Seeing the larger Eelhead coming down the stairs Elyria ducks in behind the wall (to N14) and hides (Stealth as bonus action: 25 ) before peeking around the corner and firing another arrow at the large aberration (Eelhead M)
Longbow: 26 Damage: 11 (Go with first roll if hiding unsuccessful or not possible)
She then moves on to the opposite wall (to R16)

Flynt racks off three shots at eel head 2 before moving to the far side of the.room.

Attack: 9 Damage: 14

Attack: 20 Damage: 17

Attack: 12 Damage: 18

Growling, Gere and Freke throw themselves at the two Eelheads, fangs bared.

Gere Bite: 19 advantage due to pack tactics with Aurelius Damage: 6 against Eelhead 2
If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. 

Freke Bite: 23 Damage: 10 against Eelhead M
If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. 

Round 3

Aurelius lands two rapid blows to Eelhead 2 leaving it heavily wounded but still moving. 

Elyria successfully moves around the corner and hides.  She then fires at Eelhead M and hits. 

Flynt fires off a single shot and kills Eelhead 2.  

(Flynt could adjust his other 2 attacks.  Gere does not have a target for his turn.) 

Freke moves to attack Eelhead M, blocking the hallway in that direction. His attack hits. (STR Save: 5)

Eelhead M is knocked prone.  (Note though that happens after Flynt and Gere's actions.) 

 (Flynt is up to amend his turn and Elyria to amend the turn for Gere.) 

(If allowed Freke would have moved on from Eelhead M after his attack, even squeezing by the prone aberration if possible, to allow Gere to attack it, using the rolled attack. Gere would then move away as well. Not sure if they are subjected to AoO when Eelhead M is prone.)

Quote from MrJanuary812 >>

Flynt racks off three shots at eel head 2 before moving to the far side of the.room.

Attack: 23 Damage: 20

Attack: 22 Damage: 16

Attack: 22 Damage: 14

 Flynt watches as his bolt causes the creature to seize up in an obvious death spasm. Flynt pulls Betsy back towards his chest as he spins around to face the final abomination. Pushing her back out towards this new target he skillfully loads and fires his next two bolts at the threat. He retreats backwards towards the doorway, stepping over the carcass as he goes. He stops just outside the doorway.

(I think there is enough room  and they have enough movement, for both dire wolves to move in to Attack and retreat back to where they were. They cannot go through an enemy space - prone doesn't change that.  Each that moves away is still subject to AoO as prone does not change that either.  It would be at disadvantage though.)

(Also, Flynt is still up for the remainder of his turn in Round 3. He actually goes before Gere and Freke.)

(I think in the post above, Flynt redirected his shots at Eelhead M, using the same rolls)

(Yea, somehow I hadn't yet loaded Flynt's post when I sent my last - Flynt already did his!)

Round 3

Flynt fires off his next two shots and hits Eelhead M. 

Round 3

Gere also strikes Eelhead M then retreats back (as did Freke). The attack leaves, leaving the creature appearing moderately wounded. 

Eelhead M attempts to strike at Gere as he retreats: 
(Bite Attack: 12 Damage: 7 pierce + 12 poison - DC 12 CON Save or poisoned if hit; Gere CON Save if needed: 15) 

Eelhead M then regains its feet and stares at Flynt (DC 14 WIS Save or be charmed) causing a familiar feeling to a few moments ago. Afterward the creature ducks to the west and out of sight. 

Eelhead 3 then appears from around the base of the staircase and moves to M11.  Like the other, this creature stares towards Aurelius (DC 14 WIS Save or be charmed) 

(Aurelius is then up, depending on the results of the WIS Saves)
