(Thanks, now processing. Yarrack was on his feet by Sila's attack, so no advantage I'm afraid. Happy with either one bless roll for all attacks or one per attack)
Bree’sfire bolt flies just past the orc in the doorway, splintering the frame and causing him to flinch, bit inflicting no wound.
Gruenic gestures at Garavant, Sila and Lucy, passing on the blessing of Selune to each of them. He draws his javelin, still holding his holy symbol in his other hand and preparing his next action.
Silaseems to blur with the pace of her attacks; sword, fist and elbow raining down on Old Yarrack and trying to bring the big orc down. The sword clangs off his armour and the fist lands weakly as he turns, but the elbow catches him unawares while he fends the other attacks and cracks him in the jaw, causing him to howl in pain.
Garavant attacks next, his words wounding the orog almost as badly as the fine magical blade. The rapier finds another weak spot and sinks deep into Old Yarrack’s flesh. He cries out again and his pained howl turns to a snarl “I hope you enjoyed your last few moments prancing about with it – I'm going to gut you with a real blade”
As he turns to Orc 2 laughing, his smaller sidekick returns the gesture only to be cut short as an arrow pierces his head through both ears. Old Yarrack yelps, seeing his henchman fall dead at his feet to Lucy’s fine shooting.
Old Yarrack turns back to Garavant, determined to win their duel, and makes two large swings with his greataxe as he tries to slice the tricky swashbuckler in half
Greataxe 1 Attack: 9 Damage: 9
Greataxe 2 Attack: 11 Damage: 12
Orc 4, coughing from the effect of the poison, charges through the cloud and also tries to hit Garavant with his greataxe Attack: 11 Damage: 10
Orc 3 steps into the doorway and tentatively tries to pick out his plan of attack while the poison creeps around him – CON saving throw 4
The orc falls to the same symptoms as his colleagues, coughing and hacking - this will bode well for anyone he tries to attack in the battle ahead.
Rolling Initiative: Bree 10, Gruenic 7, Artemis 21, Sila 19, Garavant 18, Lucy 17, Orcs
Sila, seeing the sturdy Old Yarrack still standing, slashes again with her Shortsword then a kick to his knee attempted to bring the creature down keeping her left hand free in case of a ranged attack.
Shortsword Attack: 11 Damage: 6
Kick Attack: 23 Damage: 6
Deflect missiles as a reaction if needed. Rolling ahead again 13 potentially reduced and if damage brought to zero will catch and throw back using 1 ki Attack: 21 Damage: 5 if throwable (unlikely arrow could be returned so no ki used there) but if javelin, uses Ki to return as above roll. If this set up is not preferred will adjust according to your preference. Just trying to avoid unknowns.
If Yarack has been defeated, redirect to next available orc (to her NW if she can avoid the poison gas, to her NE if not)
And Bless buff roll 1 - using same for all -> noted preroll. (@#$%^)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gruenic readies his javelin and throws it at Old Yarrack, shouting in orc at him "Take that ya bastard! We are going to gut you like we did great Ulfe!""
Intimidation : 20
Javelin : Attack: 6 Damage: 9
After the attack, he uses a bonus action to cast spiritual weapon. Behind Old Yarrack an ethereal moon colored glowing spear appears, and stabs him from behind!
Spiritual Spear : Attack: 16 Damage: 7
2nd attack roll if spear has advantage, attack from behind Yarrick : 6
Garavant smoothly slides over a step to let the orog's axe blow go whistling by. "You've missed me, haven't you?"he says with a grin, just before slipping back to his original spot to avoid the quick back swing. "And still you miss me. I'm touched!"
He ducks a blow from the ailing orc. "And you as well. How sweet."
His eyes harden. "I assure you the feeling is not mutual," he says as the rapier's sharp tip flashes forward once again, aimed at the orog's heart. He hopes they can get these monsters down soon, as he knows he can't keep dodging axes forever.
Note: If Old Yarrack is down, will attack orc on which he can land sneak attack. Will use bonus Disengage action to get into position if necessary while avoiding OAs
Old Yarrack is getting increasingly angry with every miss and every taunt by Garavant, even as his strength ebbs away with every blow and exertion. He is about to muster a reply to the latest salvo when Bree’s fire bolt flies in from the right and engulfs his head. The orog gives a brief scream as he falls, scattering small flames across the stone floor as he lands.
Gruenic switches targets with Old Yarrack’s demise and goes for the poisoned Orc 4 instead. The javelin sinks deep into the orc’s shoulder and sprays blood from both the entry and exit wounds.
The half-orc clericuses the motion of his follow-through from the throw to summon an ethereal spear which appears behind Orc 4and thrusts towards him but glances off his armour (OOC: spiritual weapons cannot benefit from flanking).
Silaalso switches targets to the orc, but her sword swings wide as the embattled warrior dodges. Her follow-up kick strikes true though, a perfect roundhouse which catches Orc 4 on his jaw and spins his head, snapping his neck and killing him instantly.
(Not going to process Garavant’s declared turn as a lot has progressed and he may want to reassess. The last remaining target is through the gas cloud, and will require a CON save to enter, as well as a DEX save to move on the ice)
"That's why you shouldn't look away in the middle of the battle, silly billy!" Lucy snorts at the fallen orc. Then she points her arrow at the new target."Don't push in! Get in line and DIE!"
Garavant can't help but feel a twinge of disappointment that he didn't get the chance to deliver the final blow on the boss orog, but such is life. "Well done Bree!"he says with a smile. "Well done Sila!" he adds a moment later. No more axes to dodge, at least not right now!
With a wary eye on the gas, Garavant lightly tosses his rapier and dagger across himself, catching the smaller blade in his right hand, the bigger magical one in his left. Then he flings the dagger at the last remaining orc.
Sila, eyes showing whitely through the blood dripping from her face and arms following the shower from Orc4's demise at the hand of Gruenic, flashes a wicked grin at Orc3."It looks like you've just been promoted! I wonder who will take your place when I kill you?!" Sila taunts hoping it will be enough to encourage the Orc forward.
(omit if uses an action - posting attack closer to turn)
Garavant swaps his dagger to his right hand with a fancy piece of showboating and hurls it at the last orc, catching him in the shoulder.
Even as the orcis still staggering from the blow, Lucy’s arrow arrives and pierces his chest. His poison-induced coughing is now speckling the stonework around him with blood; he’s in a bad way.
Seeing the helplessness of his situation, the orc throws down his weapons and raises his hands in surrender “OK, OK, I give in! Let me live and I’ll tell you whatever you want to know”
Bree, already in the movements of hurling another fire bolt towards the orcs is a bit startled. Not expecting the orc surrendering, she hurls the flame directly to the ceiling. "Uhhhhhmmm. What kind of interesting thing can you tell us?" She then looks to his dead companions: "Technically we are here to remove you all" she blushes a little "uhm, from live I mean..."
Basically: She is definitely unsure how to handle the situation a bit conflicted between the task they were given, knowing how foul these creatures have behaved, and having a person surrender and begging for his live.
Gruenic frowns at the third orc. “You didn’t show me any mercy when you had me bundled up in that sack. The beatings kept coming. Also, we need your ears.” Gruenic shows no mercy to the evil orc. He directs the ethereal spear to strike and he throws a second javelin.
Spiritual spear : Attack: 23 Damage: 9
Javelin : Attack: 15 Damage: 4
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Remember what you answered when you guys kidnapped the poor girls?" Lucy speaks to the orc with a sweet singing voice. "That's my answer, you son-of-a-pig!"
Garavant stares at the orc who's surrendered, unsure of what to say, but hoping to use a mixture of bravado and nastiness to get him to snivel and give up any information he might have.
He flinches as Gruenic and Lucy attack, but he's not surprised. He holds his position, waiting to see what will happen next, shifting his rapier back to his good hand.
Sila taunts the surrendering orc and his expression shows utter defeat. He seems about to respond when, as Garavant and Bree watch on, a fusillade of missiles from Lucy and Gruenic pepper the orc. Blood seeping from numerous wounds, the warrior buckles at the knees and drops, expiring on the floor.
After about a minute the gas cloud dissipates, the reserves behind the statue seemingly used up. The orc barracks stands waiting before you, the last unexplored room on this level of the mountain.
Bree turns to Gruenic: "Sorry I hesitated there. I don't like killing people that have surrendered, but understand your sentiment, given what they put you through..." an uncomfortable smile comes on her face "And as you said we need the ears..". Trying to come to her senses she methodically starts cutting off the ears, clearly needing a bit of time to come to grasps with what just happened.
