As the group moves closer toward the house, they come to the rusty gate in the wall that surrounds the house. As they begin through, Reginald bumps the gate slightly with his shoulder and the metal hinges make a loud screech. Moving through the gate, Elias notices a large rose bush at the base of the wall near the gate. Inspecting closer you can also see a dug out spot at the base that looks like a burrow. As you are about to warn your party members, a rustling noise can be heard from the burrow just as four giant weasels come from the burrow entrance. They screech and start aggressively moving toward the party.
As the shaft sails toward its target, the Pirate yells, "Arr... The only giant weasel I like poppin' out at me, is me own!" He laughs heartily as the arrow finds its mark.
Keric plants his feet and shouts, "Do not give pause until thier blood is flowing!" A deep blue light descends on Beric, Shaul, and Elias and they are infused with a Blessing from the depths.
Move: No movement
Action: Bless the mentioned party members
Reaction: If he gets attacked, he will use wrath of the storm on his attacker. DC 13 Dex save or 6 lightning damage (half on a failed save)
Keric also laughs heartily at Beric's weasel joke.

Shaul
Having seen some of these creatures before, I run up to one of the weasels and hit it with my quarterstaff being wielded in both hands in an attempt to try to scare it off along with the others and will be using the blessing that was given to me by keric

Reginald of Neverwinter:
Looking in horror at the gate latch he bumped and caused to make such a loud screech, Reg is distracted and doesn't even notice that screeching of a different sort is erupting around him until he sees the giant weasels move in to attack!
Moving to engage the nearest weasel, Reg draws his longsword and strikes at the aggressive creature, a quick diagonal slashing attack that doesn't expose himself overmuch as he defends himself with his shield.
Longsword Attack: Attack: 13 Damage: 8

Seeing the weasels rushing toward them, everyone reacts quickly. Beric fires an arrow, dropping the first weasel. Elias swings his sword and drops the second weasel. Keric casts bless on several of his companions and to aid them in battle.

(OOC ohhhhh I misread blessing, I thought you just added 4, not a d4, we can keep the roll I had because it was a one anyway but I'll reroll just in case you really want me to)
Shaul
4
(OOC I did it the way I did it in this post because I was unsure if I added the result of the D4 to my attack or to my damage roll, it says attack but I couldn't quite figure out how to do that with the roller, add the d4 roll where applicable, my apologies for any added work and now since I got rid of the D20 roll that was in this post it changed my roll to a 4, it was a 2, disregard this 4)
(OOC: in the future, I'll just do the attack roll and roll a d4 separately in the roller and we can just add it where applicable, +2 to my previous roll which means it'd be a 7 overall to hit because I rolled a 1, I have a +4 to hit and +2 because of the D4 roll added to that, again, that 4 in the above post with the red label is not correct, my apologies again)

OoC - Yep, that's how I do it too, a separate d4 roll
Two of the weasels immediately go down. One of the others is blasted by Rellyn but is still standing. The two remaining rush to attack with a bite. One attacks Beric and the other sees the armor of Reginald and attacks
OOC: Beric is all the way in the rear. How did a Giant Weasel get past everyone, without provoking Attack of Opportunities, to attack Beric? Shaul and Rellyn had the last two Weasels Engaged, so they could not possibly move to Beric without an AoO. If Beric knew he was within 30 ft of the weasels, he'd of stepped back, out of their movement range.
Either need to play on a grid or be more specific.

Captain Blackhand: Drawing his Rapier and Dagger, Beric attacks the Weasel that is suddenly somehow in front of him.
Right-hand - Attack: 24 Damage: 9
Left-hand - Attack: 13 Damage: 2
Edit: Forgot Bless - 1st Attack +3, 2nd Attack +3
OOC. Add Sneak Attack damage if there is anyone else next to the Weasal. I will need to know where everyone is literally every turn, so I know where to apply Sneak Attack or not.
OOC: so the way it looked in my mind. The group moved through the gate in a line, advancing toward the house. The rose bush was near the gate so weasels would be attacking the group from the side with everyone being in a straight line. The weasel that Rellynn attacked was not a melee attack and because Beric made the first attack and killed one of them with with one shot, he was the biggest threat. Maybe he killed the baby of the family and it wanted revenge? Anyway, the remaining weasels are dead. I was posting on the fly as I was at training this week but will use battle mats from here on to make it easier for everyone to see the battlefield.

Reyllnn just sighs slightly at Blackhand’s joke before sending a mote of fire towards the nearest of the weasels.
