((You think yours sucks!?))

 [ooc]Okay, you rolled a 3 on the die to my 5.  They BOTH suck.[/ooc]

((If I wasn't still asleep when I posted, I would've thought to us Pass Without Trace. C'est la vie.))

Naero 

Utilising what little time there is before their imminent battle, Naero recites an ancient elvish mantra. The ground around him vibrates imperceptibly. What dirt and dust that was disturbed is no longer, flattening and softening as if swept every across the room. He looks at Larry and says, "Stay within 30ft of me and let my ancestors aid in keeping us unnoticed". He turns to the others and offer the same aid. "Goes for anyone attempting to stealth along with us. And with that, I am ready to proceed."

With the magical boost, Naero and Larry move quietly up the stairs and into the large room unnoticed. The spiel that "The Teeth" was giving is over now, but the cultists are still in the middle of the room talking. 

Naero and Larry, you may each take the first actions as a surprise round, successfully getting into position without being noticed.

[ooc]Assuming I can "hop" off the landing to the floor, I will move to immediately "below" the lower left moog.  If I can NOT just "hop" off the ledge, but have to walk around, Larry will go to the spot just "NW" of upper right mooq.  Either way, the next step is to strike him.  I am assuming advantage versus surprised opponent.[/ooc]

Moon-Touched Short Sword: Attack: 25 Damage: 23

Dagger of Venom: Attack: 19 Damage: 9

And then he will gesture with his off-hand, kind of waving the dagger.  "Hello, boys.  You should surrender, but I don't know if my friends will accept."

Naero 

Within the blink of an eye, Naero makes his way directly to the side of The Teeth. He lashes out with his bare hands. 

M - 35ft to stand at the side of The Teeth. 

A - Unarmed Attacks with a Stunning Strike on the first hit against him. If he becomes stunned, redirect attacks at the guy south of Naero.

BA - Flurry of blows  against whomever he is engaged with at the time. 

A1 Attack: 13 Damage: 9

A2 Attack: 19 Damage: 12

BA1 Attack: 27 Damage: 10

BA2 Attack: 17 Damage: 12

Stunning Strike DC CON18

Larry and Naero sweep into the room like twin whirlwinds, Larry dropping the two cultists at the bottom of the formation immediately. The Teeth, while surprised, is able to throw up a shield quickly enough that the most of the blows Naero throws miss, though a flurry does get through to him. The cultists are caught off guard, but quickly regain their composure and turn to attack.

Larry, you're up next!

Larry will continue smiling at the (current) survivors, as he steps up between the two mooqs, before giving the one on his left some personal attention.

Moon-Touched Short Sword: Base Attack: 24 Second roll in case of Advantage: 20 Piercing: 6  Sneak (if advantage): 10

[ooc]If the man is still standing, repeat attack versus him with advantage.  If not attack 'Teeth'[/ooc]

Dagger of Venom:  Base Attack: 10  Second roll in case of Advantage: 12  Piercing (Savage Attack) w/ sneak because of friend in melee: 11

"This seems to be going better than expected."

Edit

"Dice rolls not yet available for this section"???

What the heck?

It's a bug. If you post the same rolls again chances are good that they work and yield the result.

(Editing in Con save for Stunning Strike: 18)

Larry downs another cultist easily, and steps forward face to face with the Teeth. Not for nothing is he the leader, however, as his momentary surprise is gone and he's well prepared to repel Larry's attack. It sparks uselessly off the magical shield he raised as the ugly mage glares through hooded eyes at him.

Then, he's not looking at him at all, as there's only a man-sized wisp of black mist where he was standing. From across the room, he launches an explosive ball of fire right past you, against the back wall where it explodes out in force. It obliterates the last cultist standing between you, and forces the two of you to duck and cover.

DC 14 dex save, taking 31 fire damage on a fail or half as much on a save.

Everyone may act!

Khessa looks worried, hearing the explosion: "I had expected the battle noises to signal us when to enter, but it seems that the noise is being exaggerated a bit..."

The blonde arcane warrior quickly sprints, looking out onto the landing of the stairs and sees that, only the guy to be taken prisoner is still standing. Unfortunately, however, in addition to being standing, he is also for some reason far from the two raiders of the party and near a door!

In an instant the tall adventuress unleashes the capricious power of the Feywild, instantly teleporting next to the enemy, to block the door, with her Maul already raised. Maul that she promptly brings down on the survivor, trying to only stun him, rather than break his bones.

[[ OOC: Khessa uses part of her movement to reach the landing and see the situation on the battlefield. With her Bonus Action she Misty Steps near the target and with her Action she Multiattacks, trying to submit, not ot kill - referring to the "Knocking Out a Creature" rule: When you would reduce a creature to 0 Hit Points with a melee attack, you can instead reduce the creature to 1 Hit Point and give it the Unconscious condition. ]]

Khessa's Maul Multiattack:

Attack 1: 22 Damage: 11 (bludgeoning)
Attack 2: 27 Damage: 12 (bludgeoning)

Note: Thanks to Topple property, on a hit, the target must pass a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or fall Prone.

[ooc]Burn a luck point.  Because I don't want to embarrass myself that badly right here.[/ooc]
