MTG: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms

Marlyth replies telepathically to Calner: "Hold on! I'll try to lift Walks out of the water."

When the height of the wave decreases, Marlyth softly nudges her bunny friend and points her finger upwards. If Walks follows her to the surface of the water, she will speak: "I'll pick you up and won't let you go until you tell me to do so." After that, she wildshapes into a Giant Eagle, picks up Walks using her talons and flies towards the windows of the second floor. The spell effect from Control Water is still active.

(Angus' athletics checks are listed above after his attacks)

 Sorry, I missed that whole post.  Both attacks miss, and Angus manages to keep the flaming Elemental from entering the keep.

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

(ooc: is the attack from the Air Elemental meant to be a total of 25 lightning damage?... if so I might have Calner cast Absorb Elements to try to mitigate some of the damage.)

Calner's CON save: 25

 

 

 9 bludgeoning, 16 lightning. It's delivered with the flail. I should have described it more

A bit excited by the flight into the air, Walks focuses on her damaged allies and casts Mass Cure Wounds for 30

OOC: The 30 foot radius should be enough to catch everybody that is hurt.

 I had to check this one bit, but it seems to be the case that the wall dividing the two rooms, which includes a barred door is sufficient to count as total cover.  While Marlyth would not need lone of sight necessarily to choose a target on the far side of the wall, the spell effects would need a clear path from point of origin to the target. 

"A spell's effect expands in straight lines from the point of origin. If no unblocked straight line extends from the point of origin to a location within the area of effect, that location isn't included in the spell's area. To block one of these imaginary lines, an obstruction must provide total cover." https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/spellcasting#AreasofEffect

I understand the eagke and harengon to be on the inside if rhe castle wall, so this would apply to Angus, I think.

 OOC: No worries as long as I healed somebody.

OOC: I think he means that Angus cannot be healed, but the others can?

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

(ooc: just for further clarification purposes... are you saying the rule about line of sight applies to Angus and Tabaqui, who are in the same room together, and neither can benefit from the Mass Cure Wounds spell?... or that they are the only ones who can benefit from it as Calner and Tauzen are considered to be behind total cover?)

 I don't think Tabaqui took a hit yet,  but he would also get healed by the spell if I'm mistaken.  Angus is directly in Walks' (not Marlyth as I accidentally wrote earlier) line of sight and is eligible to benefit from the healing.

Walks and Marlyrh (Eaglyth) are anywhere inside that orange loop.  The healing effect is targeting g creatures in the green area, meaning Walks can (presumably would) choose not the heal rhe Elemental.

I think Marlyrh has.posted all a riots for this round. 

Eaglyth figures out the extent of her mistake when she doesn't find Calner inside the room, and she uses rest of her flying speed to transport Walks towards the window of the other side. She immediately stops maintaining concentration on the spell Control Water while letting out a screech due to frustration. 

(Eaglyth has 80 ft flying movement and a decent intelligence score, but I don't think she can receive telepathic message.)

Tabaqui loads another arrow into his longbow and fires again at the air elemental.

Attack: 26 Damage: 13 magical piercing + 19 sneak attack

Eaglyth replies to Calner in Giant Eagle language: "Armored air-elemental? Did Tyreus summon them?"

(@Brian_Avery, thanks for the explanation about the telepathic bond. Marlyth lost concentration willingly to avoid being hit by wave and lose her grip on Walks or let the wave change her course of flight. It's a risky maneuver.)

Air Elemental 1 Int save vs. Mind Sliver 18

Tabaqui's arrow lodges itself into the elementals armor, dealing brutal damage to the creature.   

Walks can use both hands, but otherwise the carrying is treated as a grapple, so movement is halved, (mount rules require an exotic saddle) meaning 40ft of movement.  Since we were fuzzy about location on the last round, I'll put you at the most favorable distance for flexibility rhst I can, but you could wiggle it if it suits your future plans better.  The side of the keep facing the lake (west) has large windows wrapping the tower on the second floor as well as the third. The forth is almost completely open on all sides, with just enough wall to support the ceiling. 

Tauzen is up, then back to Angus.

(Hamish is wading through the water, it's about ankle deep to him where he stands, his head is just below this second level map.)

Angus  will once again slash at the flaming elemental with his longsword.  He will try again to use a 1st level spell slot to make any of his strikes that connect a divine smite.

First longsword Attack: 21 Damage: 12 magical slashing + 14 radiant if hits.

Second longsword Attack: 22 Damage: 14 magical slashing + 6 radiant if hits.

Tauzan continues his attack on the air elemental.

(Unarmed Attack: 13, Damage: 7 bludgeon)

(Khopesh Attack: 24, Damage: 8 slash)

(Unarmed Attack: 17, Damage: 7 bludgeon)

Agile Parry: +2 AC until start of next turn (making AC 22)

(Note: additional crit damage for 2nd Unarmed Attack:3)

<according to the daemon tracking post irl time, Tauzen has been "up" for two days. I'm moving on, but his actions csn still be applied to the preceding round.>

Both of Angus' attacks hit the elemental, causing it to roar in pain and anger.

Engaged, the elemental grabs Angus and flies over the water below. (He heads for the central tower of the east wall whether the check succeeds or fails, but on a failure Angus gets an AoO. On Success, he drags Angus with him, no fire damage is imparted to the PC, fly speed is halved.)

Grapple 1 9, 2 9, 3 8

Fire damage taken 3 (I don't think they stack, but if so, also 1, please confirm or share your thoughts on stacking ongoing damage from smite
