OOC: Serak, your turn! Theres a couple of reactions there that I haven't taken so damage might be a little high - Beetle you probably want to take your shield again (it'll work this time lol). Serak... cutting words perhaps?
Serak: Shouting unintelligible threats at the goblins in the woods, Serak again stands and lunges at the wolf. He then turns to Arkhan and shouts, "Vitala!"
Reaction - Cutting Words - Target: Goblin(G4) Reduce Attack: -4
Action - Attack: 16 Damage: 5 Target: Wolf(W2)
Bonus Action - Healing Word HP Healed: 6 Target: Arkhan
Movement: 15ft South into Cover(If W2 dies this round)
Pointing to the goblin hiding to the east(G2), Serak says, "Gundren! Engage that goblin!"
OOC: Finally some decent rolls! Cutting words was successful and also we have more total HP from our level up than is reflected on the map.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Good spot Serak! Not quite sure how I missed the HP increase! Updated now for those reactions!
With a short sharp thrust of his rapier, Serak silences the wolfs growls. As the bulking body falls to the ground, Serak quickly checks his shoulder - only superficial damage. With his eyes on the forest the bard skips away for cover, yelling to Arkhan as he passes. The dragonborns eyes open, a single thought in his mind, "Not today!"
"SURRENDER YOURSELVES OR TASTE THE FURY OF MAGLUBIYET!" The hobgoblins booming voice calls to them, half in jest. Reaching a heavily muscled arm back for another arrow, its eyes narrow. With Syna as the target, it fires its longbow.
Hobgoblin 2 Attack Roll: 14 Damage: 4
Syna Concentration Check: 11 Save DC: 10
OOC: Arkhan, you're up again. Prone for now but ready for combat!
Arkhan stands and moves just left of Syna. Arkhan pulls from a pouch a piece of paper, he unrolls it and begins reading the scroll of lightning bolt.
DC 13 to cast: 20
The spells goes off without a hitch. Lightning surrounds the dragonborn as he smirks at the hobgoblin beyond the wolf and lets loose a bolt of lightning.
Dex Save DC 15 for half: 32 Lightning Damage to the wolf and the hobgoblin just misses g5
As Arkhan finishes the incantation a blinding flash lights up the air. In a split second a huge fork pf lightning flashes from the scroll, disappearing in an instant. The scroll crumbles into nothing in his hands. Before him, scorched into the ground, the familiar shape of a lightning bolt, leads the way to the now fried corpses of his targets.
OOC: Should have known that's what you were planning Arkhan! Looks like the tables have turned. Beetle, you're up again. Only goblins left, although some are hidden - the only one you can see without actively searching is G4.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Pointing his longsword directly at the only visible goblin, Beetle utters a few words before unleashing a bright crackling blast of energy.
Attack: 13
The beam lights up the air, crackling its way across the clearing before smashing into the cave wall and disappearing into darkness.
ROUND 3
Looking around at his suffering companions, Syna presses his palms together. "Wairua Genees", the druids soft words take effect instantly, forming the ghostly form of a hawk figure between them. "A healing spirit friends, let it heal your wounds."
Unaware of the summoned spirit, the goblins continue their barrage. Serak spots the first, a few feet ahead of him in the trees. The goblin looses a shot in his direction before disappearing again into the darkness.
Serak takes the hit hard, stumbling back a few feet before finding his footing. The goblins laugh dies away quietly as it seemingly disappears. A short distance behind, Gundren yells. A second goblin attacks.
"Ahh!" Gundrens voice echoes loudly as a black feathered arrow slams into his chest. His attacker crouches down again behind his barreled cover. Arkhan turns slightly, drawn to the dwarfs cry as an arrow heads his way.
Goblin 3 Attack Roll: 7 (Hidden Advantage)
Goblin 3 Stealth Check: 14
A terrible shot, filled with seeds of doubt and fear after blast of electrical death. The arrow shaft strikes Arkhan with barely any force, merely tingling the dragonborns skin through his thick armour. Ashamed, the goblin slinks away, back into cover.
Up ahead, the fourth goblin fires another arrow into the party, aiming for Syna before skipping away into the trees.
Goblin 4 Attack Roll: 6 Damage: 8
Syna Concentration Save: 9 Save DC: 10
Goblin 4 Stealth Check: 14
As the arrow strikes, Synas concentration is lost. The silently hovering hawks spirit instantly disappears, leaving behind a few particles of light that flicker away into darkness. Making its escape, the goblin leaps into the woods, taking refuge in the undergrowth.
A final arrow shrieks through the air, making a beeline for Beetles chest.
Goblin 5 Attack Roll: 16 (Hidden Advantage)
Goblin Stealth Check: 7
Another feathered arrow takes a glancing blow against Beetles armour, striking against the paladins shoulder before spinning away harmlessly. The creatures frustrated snarls seem to give away its position in the gloom.
Gundren clutches at his side, desperate to slow the flow of blood from his gaping wound. In a desperate bid for safety, he makes a break for the treeline, diving into cover beneath a large bush.
Gundren Stealth Roll: 15
OOC: Struggling to upload the round map from where I am... Basically G1 is roughly 30ft east, G4 is now 30ft south. The circle of thorns has now gone. Gundren is hiding about 25 ft SE.
Goblins are all hidden and will require either a passive perception higher than their stealth check to find them, an active perception search to spot them and prevent advantage on their attacks, or a disadvantage on attacks against them.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Serak: Ducking into the cover of the trees, Serak shudders as he removes the arrow from chest. Desperately, he releases a bit of sand into the breeze and shouts, "Sular du Ananast!"
OOC: If Serak centers the spell 3 tiles East of Gundren, in the middle of the Eastern side of the tile, it should effect all three. Plus Gundren, but Serak is okay with that. lol
Beetle will move east towards the barrels, where he thinks attacks are coming from and watching...
Perception: 9 looking to the east (in general direction of G2 & G4) trying to figure out where the attacks on this side are coming from...
Beetle will also take the ready action in case he can spot one or narrow down the area the attacks are coming from and will then fire off an eldritch blast at them or that area...
Attack: 24 Damage: 6 if he spots one or narrows down the attack area
Beetle a perception check would count as an action but seeing as you rolled lower than your passive perception I can just take your readied action if you'd like. Synas sleep spell will indeed leave the east-most goblins asleep.
Synas healing spirit disappeared when he got hit with the last attack - it was a concentration spell and he failed a constitution save after taking damage.
OOC: that is fine Brown, use the passive and the ready action, then even if Beetle notices a direction a shot comes from he can fire the Eldritch Blast with disadvantage if the spot can't be pinpointed
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Disappearing into Serak makes his way east, slipping by the stricken dwarf. “Sular du Ananast!” The bards voice echoes loudly through the trees.
Almost instantly, Serak hears four distinct, soft thuds as several small humanoid bodies hit the floor.
Across the clearing, Arkhan stomps forward. Fiery rage building inside him as he searches the forest. "I know you're in there coward. Come face me." The dragonborns voice booms into the trees but dissipates - unanswered.
Enraged, he forms a large fireball in a free hand and throws it aggressively into the trees.
Arkhan Attack: 10
The firebolt flickers brightly as it explodes against an old gnarled oak tree, sending sparks through the air. No goblin emerges, the forest remains silent.
Assessing the situation Beetle carefully makes his way east, roughly guessing where the goblins are hidden. Talon crackles in his hand, a building store of energy burning deep within its pommel. Patiently the paladin waits.
ROUND 4
Sensing the tables turning, Syna searches desperately for a target. A slight fling of metal in the trees to the north gives away a goblins position. As Beetle carefully strides away, the druid calls out to him, “Faenya ysele!”
Healing Word to Beetle: 6
Turning back to his quarry, Syna extends a hand. A flicker of flame extends from his fingers. With a sudden thrust of his wrist, a bonfire explodes to life across the clearing.
Goblin 5 DEX save: 17 Spell Save DC: 13
Damage: 5
Screeching in pain the goblin bursts into flames, diving from the fire and into the open. A flurry of retaliatory arrows follows, the first against Arkhan
To the north, the burning goblin manages to escape the flames, aiming an arrow at Syna.
Goblin 5 Attack Roll: 16 Damage: 8
Goblin 5 Stealth Roll: 18
In a mixture of pain and satisfaction the partially melted goblin dives back into the trees into darkness.
As the goblins collapse into a deep slumber, one rolls unconsciously out of the brush. Beetle, with Talon drawn unleashes his prepared attack, sending a crackling beam of energy at the lifeless body.
The goblin shudders violently back into an awakened state as the energy spreads through its body. With a last gasp the beast weakly mumbles something in golin, before it's life is suddenly ended.
OOC: No reactions again this time. Arkhan you’ll be on death saves again unless somebody gives you some healing!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Serak: Deciding it best to let sleeping Goblins and Dwarfs lie, Serak draws his shortbow as he moves through the trees and foliage toward Syna. Staying in the cover of the bushes, he approaches the Druid and says, "Quickly! Get behind cover! We must return fire!" Knocking an arrow, the Bard fires into the overgrowth where he suspects a goblin to be hiding.
Serak bursts from the trees, his shortbow pointed directly at the foliage to the north. He yells to Syna, urging the druid to seek cover as he releases his arrow, firing over Arkhans head into the treeline.
Attack(DisAdv): 10
The arrow disappears into the brush with no response. As the pair search for cover, Arkhan makes his move...
ROUND 2b
