(Actually, I think there's one last option... Velmine can step on the same spot as Eiren, attack and then step back to I14. Which will be what I'll do.)

Even though that doesn't seem right to me, I can't find anything that says you can't do that. So I will go ahead and allow it.

Eiren's chill touch misses and then moves to I15 and attacks with his rapier and hits

Velmine manages to make it all the way down to the troll and attacks with her rapier but misses and then moves behind Eiren in I14

Troll 1 dex save 10. Baik starts another fire in K16 and the troll gets burned. 

Meanwhile the fire in the middle of the room actually shrinks a little bit. 

Xavier moves to I10 and launches to more meteors at the female troll. Dex save 1 16, Dex save 2 19. She manages to avoid both meteors. Seeing that they both missed her Xavier uses a Sorcery Point (I am assuming that is how you made it a bonus action?) to cast fire bolt at the female troll it hits.

Corvin is up

 (Oh, that... Yes... It does follow the rules, a character can step on an ally's square as long as they don't end their turn there. I still think it makes sense because 5 ft. of space being fully occupied by a single person seems like too much, so it isn't hard to imagine that Velmine just passed through Eiren in that close spot, quickly plunged and draw her rapier back, and then went back to not bother him with his next turn, while at the same time neither entering the tree nor heading directly to the wall.)

(Very roguish!)

Troll still takes half damage on a save so that’s 8 total damage from the meteors.  They are a bonus action to use so my standard action was the fire bolt.  No sorcery points spent

 (Oh, that's clever... I hadn't thought about it, but when I said that it was easy to imagine Velmine doing that, the reason that is was just because Velmine is who she is... A bulking figure in heavy armor doing the same is much harder to imagine, even though RAW would still allow it.)

(I didn't want to make that message - it seemed quite pointless -, but it was a nice opportunity to bump the thread, in case the player we're waiting for missed the fact it was their turn. I'm hoping I'm not taken as someone who's trying to rush the game, and is impatient, I just want to make sure the game doesn't bog for too long just because someone missed their queue)

 Corvin is up 

(Sorry, I did indeed miss that it was my turn)

Seeing the fight going well for them so far, Corvin decides to conserve his remaining spell slots and simply casts Sacred Flame at the remaining troll.

DC17 dex or 8

Troll 1 Dex save 4. Corvin catches the slowed troll in the shin with his sacred flame. 

(Ok, the troll is going to attack Eiren and then use her key to move through the gate, which is going to take time on my part. I probably won't get the new map reareauntil late tonight or tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Also I probably wouldn't be able to post a whole lot over the weekend as I should be attending a local gaming convention.)

(I’ll leave this here to expedite things, if the Troll moves away Eiren will retaliate)

Opportunity Attack: 11 Damage: 14 piercing 

Baik, I didn't catch this when you posted. But you wouldn't be able to cast create bonfire in K16 from your current position as you don't have line of sight. So I will be moving you to E12, unless you have a problem with that.

No problem. I didn’t notice either.

Seeing that there is fire under her and the way north is blocked, the remaining troll attacks Eiren with her claw Attack: 9 Damage: 10. The trolls claw nails rake Eiren's leather armor but don't penetrate. She then uses her free action to open the the White Gate and move through it into The Forest of Weakness. As she does so, the white mist around the gate dissipated (as it always does when someone uses a glyph key to open the way), and Eiren returns the blow ,but only catches air. Because she is slowed she doesn't quite clear the gate.

(DM note: I think I stated this when you first went through a gate, but the person with the key needs to stay in the gate to keep it active. There are no written instructions for moving through gates in combat, so I am going to sas that the gate will stay open for a round after she leaves the gate entirely. Both Eiren and Corvin have a key attuned to the Forest of Recovery so if you decide to follow her through and not everyone makes it before the gate closes, they should be able to open the souther White Gate where you fought the Displacer Beasts to get into the Forest of Weakness. Also it states that magic can't pass through the gates.)

Troll 1 Wisdom save 1

(You will get a more detailed view of the Forest of Weakness if you decide to follow her)

Back to the party 

Baik at the end of your turn give me three more [ roll]1d4-1[ /roll] rolls

Eiren will move through the open gate and try to tumble through the troll’s legs to come up in front of it (I think that’s U19? or 18?) using his bonus action. Opposed Dexterity (Acrobatics) 26

 

 

 

 Is Tumble still a thing in 5e? If so can you provide documentation as I can't find anything. As I recall from 3.5 Tumble was a class based skill.

I PM'd about it. Like I said there if it's not kosher I will redo the turn. Was just trying to do something cool and in-character.

 I'll allow it, it is a cool concept. 

As this is a Dex skill check and not a Dex save, I don't believe that slow affects the roll. Correct me if I'm wrong. But either way the troll can't bet a 26. So you end up in U18.

 Eiren leaps through the opened gate and makes a crazy attempt to block the trolls path and it works. He then finishes off with two strikes with his rapier. One hits the troll and the second misses. 

As he catches his breath, Eiren is able to look around and sees that this area resembles a tranquil meadow dotted with a few trees. Eiren can hear the sounds of humans in agonizing pain, and your rapier warns you that there is more danger than just the troll.

Bail moves to 9X. So, we’re not done yet? Where are the rest? (I assume you still need the rolls and that T1 isn’t there anymore. 3 0)

 (I assume that "finishing off" does not refer to finishing off the troll, as in killing her, since we're still in initiative order... With that assumption made, I'll take my turn, and if I'm wrong, just disregard this - I might even delete it, if that's the case.)

Velmine follows Eiren and the troll, going in silently, before plunging towards her back, looking to pierce the rapier thoroughly.

Attack: 11 Damage: 27
