GOBLIN HORDE

Petcan initiative 23 

12 for DEX save

Ceo then plays a discordant melody heard only by the ankheg.

Dissonant Whispers

Dex Save: 11 

“Take cover!” Syvis calls out to everyone, as soon as the giant arachnid monster leaping out of the ground. Covering his wounded arm and retreating a step, acid sizzling on his armour.

12

Psychic damage.

Dex save 16 

Petcan circles around to the left, firing a fire bolt 

Attack: 13 Damage: 9 

Randall:

Dexterity Save:  17

Syvis backs 35 feet away from the monster, giving him enough distance for his arrow to travel. He places Hunter's Mark on the creature before an arrow flies off from the tautly pulled bowstring.

Attack: 18 Damage: 15 

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

The Ankheg stops moving away, turns around to face the party, and begins charging toward Ceo.

It is an ugly insectoid looking creature with long twitching antennae and 6 legs that end in hooks. Its powerful mandibles snap at Ceo's head.

Attack: 10 Damage: 9 slashing damage plus 6 acid damage.

(if hit, Ceo is Grappled DC 13 to escape.)

(Randall is up.)

 It did not hit, as Ceo jumped as the mandibles fell, and landed directly in front of the ankheg.

6 For psychic damage

( where are we what did I miss?)

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

(Ceo also gets an AOO on the Ankheg, from when it fled due to the Dissonant Whispers spell.)

 Oh sweet! Ceo will hit the ankheg with his rapier.

Attack: 10 Damage: 6

Randall:

Casting Bless on Grim, Bow, and Petcan, Randall moves up behind Ceo and draws his mace, ready to step up or heal as the situation demands.

Bow Dex save: 10 (No Bless because it is from before Bless was cast)

After the save Bow attacks Ankheg with his hand crossbow again; shooting two shots in quick succession

Attack 1: 18 Damage: 15

Attack 2: 21 Damage: 11

Ceo simply looks at the thing at his feet like "What the actual f?" and pokes it with his rapier.

"I think it's dead. Should we try to get some of that acid it spit?"

OOC: YAY level 3!

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

(I'm throwing in some medium and hard encounters to balance out things so it's not always deadly encounters. Still gonna be deadly encounters, don't get me wrong, just not solely deadly encounters.)

(To balance this all out I have to increase the number of encounters slightly. To try this out by PbP it could mean a lot of initiative rolls. To prevent having to wait I can roll initiative for everyone and post the order so we can jump right into combat, if all agree?)

 I'm good with that.

(I'm fine with you rolling initiative as well; leveled up; Hit die of short rest: 9)

"Lets take a short brake before moving on; we should not let the army close in to much."

Randall:

OOC:  Good with DM-rolled Initiative. A short rest or pushing on to warn the next town is Randall’s vote.  If we move on quickly, Randall can do some healing for people with significant acid damage.

(OOC I'm good with it. Anything that speeds up combat is a good thing. Also short rest sounds good)

(( I'm good with DM rolling initiative as well. ))

Hit dice: 12 

(Short rest and DM initiative, all good. Petcan’s just gonna roll hit dice in campaign log for ease, in case I need multiple)

Randall:

Pulling some salve out of his kit, Randall coats the worst of the party’s acid burns during their five minute rest.
