Wisdom Save: 5

The chieftain's wife, Imberu, is barely holding on, but still protecting her husband with warding magic.

Dontontion's rapier, magical in nature, seems to cut through the earth elemental's skin. Chunks of rock are forced away as the green flames leap from elemental to Kartha-Kaya.

Ink, knowing that some sleep spells require a little more force, moves towards Flint, likely drawing the Chief's ire in the process, and kicks the dwarf in the ribs, stating harshly, "Wake up!" 

// Ink's kick Attack (auto crit if it hits, already included): 8 Damage: 2

Meanwhile, Quill flies up and over the battle, falling upon Imberu, harassing her (HELP ACTION) before flying back up to safety...

After kicking Flint, Ink makes a beeline for Imberu, scimitars swinging and flanking her with Matrix...

// Scimitar, flanking with advantage, Attack: 21 Damage: 9

// Scimitar, flanking, Attack: 26 Damage: 5

// Note: if the chieftain hits for 20+, Ink will cast SHIELD as a reaction to try and prevent it (total AC would be 25)....

Chief Kartha-Kaya swings at Ink as he leaves his reach...

Attack: 17 Damage: 13 slashing + 6 fire

Ink, easily dodging the chief, is able to cut down his mate. Blood pours from the priestess' neck as she collapses, and Kartha-Kaya bellows in rage. 

The earth elemental attacks Matrix, single-minded, even as the two yakfolk women lay bleeding out on the ground. 

Attack: 17 Damage: 14 bludgeoning
Attack: 16 Damage: 14 bludgeoning 

Kartha-Kaya, his protective spell now neutralized, grabs for his wife's motionless hand. In an instant, he has the mallet. He smiles evilly and brings the head crashing into the gong, a resounding strike! 

// Players up //

Ink calls out, "Saarvin - you need to hurt Flint to wake him - only pain will wake him from a magical sleep!"

Ink uses his full movement to move in behind the chief and flank him with Crownsguard!

"You've condemned your warriors," Ink coldly tells the chief after he's rung the gong. 

// Scimitar MH Attack: 14 Damage: 6

// Scimitar MH Attack: 9 Damage: 6

// Scimitar OH Attack: 25 Damage: 5

After Ink slashes at the chief, Quill flies in and harasses the chief (help action) distracting the massive Yakfolk from the next incoming attack. 

"oh thank the gods!" Matrix declares as he aims the thunder dragon at the chief focusing his will into the gun (kensei shot, bonus action), "lets get loud then!" and fires a disarming shot! Glancing at the elemental he gives it a side kick, activation agile parry. Gritting his teeth and pushing his limits again he action surges, firing again! "now sit down!" he fires a 3rd winging shot.

bang! 21 for 8 + 1 and DC 15 STR save or be disarmed

kick! 16 for 7 agile parry

Bang 2 23 for 8 + 1

bang 3 21 for 9 + 3 and DC 15 STR save or be knocked prone

Crownsguard is going to swing the flat of his blade into Kartha-Kaya’s face, Attack: 16 Damage: 11 slashing. Oh goodie! That’s a Crit! More base damage! 7 slashing! 2nd Level Smite! 38 radiant damage! AAAAND Flint, Ink, Don, and Matrix get 9 Temp HP.

Second swing! Attack: 9 Damage: 6 slashing damage. Less fun.

Worth noting, all of that is non-lethal damage.

Don subtly adjusts his visage, more blood, looking close to death he starts toward the door, limping and screaming, "The chief's wives went crazy, said he was cheating on them and summoned a giant stone thing, help us, we are trying to stop it, I think it might have killed the chief, please help us!"

Deception: 26

After Ink slashes at the chief, Quill flies in and harasses the chief (help action) distracting the massive Yakfolk from the next incoming attack. 

Ink viciously attacks the chief, his first attack cuts across the gap in the Chief's armor, between his chest and shoulder, cutting into the brachial artery - the Chief's arm goes slack and drops his great sword. Ink's momentum continues and in that movement he pivots and reverses his grip so both the blades face the same direction, the forward edge of the blades facing away from Ink, points leading the attack as he finishes a tight backwards turn. Both blades enter Kartha-Kaya's ribs from his left side and drive through to the hilt. Feeling his inertia stop, Ink changes his hand position on his twin adamantine blades and, with a hard turn in the opposite direction, pulls the swords back out of the Chief's massive ribcage. 

Quill, seeing the Chief's eyes go wide, turns away and flies by the elemental, harassing it (help action), before pulling up and away to safety. 

Saarvin shrugs. “Okay...sorry to do this,” he says, before slapping Flint across the face with the flat of his shortsword. 

Attack: 26 Damage: 6 

Flint regains consciousness!

Deception: 26

 There is only one Yakfolk currently in sight when Don pokes his head out of the hut—the one you had seen earlier when coming in, outside in the terraced gardens, overseeing the halflings working there in the bitter wind, several dozen yards away to the north.

It’s likely that he hasn’t heard Don, given the distance and the howling wind. Don is just in time to see the yakfolk taskmaster grab and slit the throat of one of his halfling slaves.

Don pulls his head back in... "Bad news guys, my con isn't gonna work. They are killing slaves out here. I am guessing that gong means slave uprising. Think we can convince big and ugly," he nods toward the elemental, "to go after the yakfolk?"

"Oh and Saarvin... you might have been right about them not to be trusted."

Ink's eyes narrow... a deep scowl grows on his face. He looks out the exit, past Don, as if searching for a target.

"Summoned elementals don't work like that," Ink responds without turning his face.

Flint wakes with a complaint forming on his lips before noticing the fight.  His complaint turns into a wordless battle cry as he charges toward the elemental and hurls his hammer at it.

Attack: 17 Damage: 9

The earth elemental, outnumbered but heedless of danger, continues to attack Matrix even as it is buffeted from all sides—Matrix's gun, Flint's hammer, Crownsguard's blade. It weathers the assaults with a sort of stoicism, and retaliates against Matrix & Crownsguard with punishing blows.

Attack vs Matrix: 27 Damage: 15 bludgeoning

Attack vs CG: 13 Damage: 19 bludgeoning

The slaves in the hut now poke their heads out from behind the big pile of baskets. Their expressions are that of disbelief and wary hope as they see the dead yakfolk, and see you handling yourselves against the earth elemental. 

Another gong sounds from a ways off, probably the other half of the village. The sound of the gong is carried on the wind. 

// Players up! //

Saarvin rushes out of the tent, intent on saving the slaves that Don was talking about. "We have no time to lose!" He says as he sweeps past the bead curtain door.

Ink looks at the elves, saying, "Pick up their weapons and help us save what lives we can!" He points to the Flaming greatsword on the floor as he says this.

Quill rushes past the elemental, harassing it one more time on a flyby before exiting the tent and gaining altitude straight up. 

Ink takes a path by the elemental and seeing it distracted, takes a swing at the creature with a booming blade!

He then rushes out the door looking for the Yakfolk Don had mentioned! 

// Scimitar (flanking with advantage) Attack: 27 Slashing Damage: 9, plus Thunder Damage: 3, and take another 11 Thunder Damage should it move of its own accord. //

// If the elemental hits better than AC 20 with his AOO, Ink will cast shield as a reaction. 

Crownsguard parries the blow with his shield and moves to block Ink’s escape. He measures up to the elemental, “You do not belong here. Please prepare to be forcible removed. Thank you.” Crownsguard levels his blade and swings toward it!

Attack: 11 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. slashing damage! He swings once more, Attack: 11 Damage: 5 slashing damage. Butts.
