Tried and true Eldritch blast at Tex: Attack: 23 Damage: 4
And if in the ensuing maelstrom of the round I take any damage, I'll use Hellish Rebuke as a reaction.
BTW, just now watching through all of Matt Colville's Running the Game videos and finding out where The Tomb of the Delian Order originated :) excellent series!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Lena hurls a Fireball at Tex, grazing Tex on the same shoulder Nikta had singed previously. She then backs off to try to get some cover.)
(Sergeant Von Erich is injured, but continues to fight on.)
Attack 1: Attack: 18 Damage: 6
Attack 2: Attack: 25 Damage: 11
(SVE is weakened by her injuries, which allows Tex to block her attacks.)
(Tex decides to split up his attacks between SVE and Gerard.)
Attack 1 on SVE: Attack: 12 Damage: 8
Attack 2 on Gerard: Attack: 15 Damage: 5
Attack 3 on Gerard: Attack: 11 Damage: 7
(Tex manages to hit SVE with his Scimitar, slashing her across the thigh and leaving her in bad shape. Gerard manages to deflect the Scimitar shot directed at him, but Tex sneaks in a shot with his dagger that hits Gerard right in the bicep.)
The Tapwell Brothers make sure their Father is completely covered behind the house, and run off to help the 2 hurt South Boys. They produce 2 Potions of Healing and quickly administer them to the hurt fighters.

SB 2 Heals for: 8
Carxus, you're up.
DM's note: Nikta, yup, you got my source. He seems like a really cool guy, too. That's why his Kickstarter raised something like ridiculous like 2.1 million dollars. O_o
(The skeletal hand Carxus summons with Chill Touch grabs a hold of Tex, who looks terrified. He takes damage and starts looking in bad shape. The Boys next to Tex take out their Scimitars and charge at the party.)
NB1 on Lena: Attack: 19 Damage: 7
NB2 on Carxus: Attack: 17 Damage: 4
NB3 on Nikta: Attack: 12 Damage: 2
(Lena and Carxus are hit and hurt.)
(Kairi and Idris decide to team up to try to take out one of the South Boys.)
Kairi Attack: Attack: 15 Damage: 8
Idris Attack: Attack: 12 Damage: 4
(Their plan works, as 1 of the South Boys falls in battle. The other South Boys look nervous.)
(Gerard tries to take out one of the North Boys with his sword)
Attack: 10 Damage: 6
(Gerard slashes the Bandit to Tex's left right across the chest, and he goes down!)
(The 2 South Boys decide to try to replicate the strategy used against them, and they both attack Kairi.)
Attack: 4 Damage: 3
Attack: 11 Damage: 3
(Kairi is ready for them, and she manages to dodge and parry their thrusts.)
Nikta, you're up. Just a heads up, 1 SB is down, 1 NB is down, Tex is hurt but so is SVE.
Keeping as much distance as he can between himself and any melee weapons, Nikta goes with old faithful again as it has the most potential for damage and best to-hit bonuses (not meta-gamed: he's the most confident of his abilities with it):
Eldritch Blast at Tex: Attack: 17 Damage: 13
and again, if any of these jokers is anywhere in melee range of me I'm using whatever movement I have to keep some distance and preparing Hellish Rebuke as a reaction if I take any damage.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(Lena hurls a fireball at Tex, but she's a little off on her aim and the fireball goes flying wide. Her Healing Word, however, gives Sergeant Von Erich some much needed relief.)
(SGV decides on a tactical retreat, moving behind the rest of the party. Once she's clear, she grabs her Crossbow and takes a shot at the remaining North Bandit.)
Attack: 17 Damage: 10
(The Arrow sinks into Tex's arm and goes clean thru. Tex then takes some shots at the party, spreading out his attacks on Lena, Nikta and Gerard.)
On Lena: Attack: 13 Damage: 7
On Nikta: Attack: 20 Damage: 5
On Gerard: Attack: 18 Damage: 7
(Lena gets slashed on the shoulder, but it's not too deep. Nikta and Gerard are on guard and manage to dodge Tex's attacks. The Tapwells are cowering behind the building, you can't really see them.)
(The Magic Missile attack from Carxus hits Tex with 3 darts, all of them getting him square in the chest and knocking him back. He rages and struggles and looks like he's getting back to his feet, but ends up falling to his hands and knees.)
"I... I surrender. I surrender!"
(Tex is very badly hurt, barely alive, but alive, nonetheless. Seeing their leader surrender, the rest of his boys throw down their weapons and raise their hands in the air. From behind the house, you all hear Ambrose Tapwell yell out.)
"Tex, you coward! Run to the horses, boys!"
(You all hear noises as the Tapwells run for it, a commotion, and a loud, metallic "CLANG!". You all rush around the side of the house to see Mrs. Tapwell, Jacob's wife, standing over the unconscious body of Ambrose Tapwell, a huge, metal Frying Pan in her hands. Augustus and Archie throw their hands up as they see you all coming.)
"Take that, you murdering scum!"
(When the dust settles, Sergeant Von Erich, Idris and Kairi arrest Tex and his boys, as well as Ambrose Tapwell and his sons, putting them all in handcuffs and commandeering a wagon from the Cider Mill to transport them back to Lord Joffrey's castle to be put on trial. SVE and her soldiers thank you all for your help, shake hands with you all, and go on their way to fulfill their orders.
The next few days are filled with mixed emotions for the Redcheek Clan. Several of their family were hurt by Tex and his boys, including Cousin Bray, who now sports a leather eye patch. The family buries Uncle Darius, who died bravely trying to protect his family. At the funeral, they comfort each other, and they all laugh and tell stories about how ornery and grumpy he was, and how much they'd miss him. But there is happiness as well. The family starts work in rebuilding and repairing their Orchard and Mill. You all spend a few days here with them as their honored guests, helping rebuild, and, when the time comes for you to leave, Jacob Redcheek gathers the entire family around.)
"We owe you four a great debt. I don't know if we will ever be able to fully repay it, but we will try."
(He turns to the family, about 20 or so family members, kids included.)
"You are all family now. From this day forward, you are Honorary members of the Redcheek Clan."
(The family cheers loudly as Jacob hugs each of you in turn.)
"And, as members of the family, well... you're all entitled to share in our success. So, I present to each of you, your shares of the Redcheek Cider Farm!"
(More cheers as Jacob hands each of you scrolls of parchment with beautiful calligraphy, that proclaims each of you as part owners of Redcheek Farms! Jacob has awarded you all 10% of the Farms and Cider Mill: You all have 2.5% ownership of Redcheek Cider.)
"I know you all are adventurers, so I know you must go, but if you ever need us, remember: You're Redcheeks, and you'll always be welcome here."
(Everyone cheers loudly.)
DMs note: If anyone wishes to do or say anything here, feel free. Next post will be the end of the adventure. Thanks for sticking it out, you guys have been great.
Yeah, Thanks! I never get to be a player, and you have to jump on the recruitment forums so quickly these days. Thanks for the run through, and excellent work!
