Ankita - This room is festooned with moldy skeletons that hang from rusty shackles against the walls. A wide alcove in the south wall contains a painted wooden statue carved in the likeness of a gaunt, pale-faced man wearing a voluminous black cloak, his pale left hand resting on the head of a wolf that stands next to him. In his right hand, he holds a smoky-gray crystal orb. The room has exits in the west and north walls. Chanting can be heard coming from the west.
All - As you walk single file through the narrow passage four ghastly forms suddenly claw their way out of the dirt floor. Their skin is corpse pale and tinged blue and their hands and feet are tipped with wicked claws. They're garbed in tattered robes that are caked with gore and dirt. They snarl and gnash their teeth at you as they extricate themselves from the ground and you see an insatiable hunger in their eyes!
In the interest of time, I will roll initiative for everyone.
Ghoul 1 initiative: 9
Ghoul 2 initiative: 3
Ghoul 3 initiative: 18
Ghoul 4 initiative: 15
Ankita initiative: 11
Baldwin initiative: 11
Hofaen initiative: 9
Zindarik initiative: 4
Initiative order:
Ghoul 3
Ghoul 4
Baldwin
Ankita
Hofaen
Ghoul 1
Zindarik
Ghoul 3
Ghoul 3 snarls at Hofaen and slashes at him with its dirty claws! He easily knocks them away with his shield.
Attack: 5 Damage: 7
Ghoul 4 will shuffle forward with an awful howl and stand behind Ghoul 3, eager for its chance to attack.
Ankita turns around with a start as she hears the ghouls come up from the ground. She brings her quarterstaff up towards her face and whispers an enchantment to it. It begins to have a soft blue glow as Ankita casts Shillelagh on it.
Then she lifts the staff up high and brings it down hard on the ghoul in front of her. Attack: 19 Damage: 5
Baldwin let's out a screech! He then composes himself and attacks the second ghoul that him and Hofaen are flanking with his javelin followed by a [Tooltip Not Found]
Javelin attack: Attack: 23 Damage: 9
Unarmed strike 1: Attack: 20 Damage: 7
Unarmed strike 2: Attack: 24 Damage: 7
If either unarmed attack hits, my [Tooltip Not Found] causes ghoul 2 to make a DEX DC 13 save or be knocked prone
As Baldwin screeches Hofaen can see his Javelin and claws going to work, he wheels around to face Ghoul 3 bringing his warhammer up, then down into Ghoul’s face, in one smooth movement.
Baldwin creates an incision in the ghouls chest with his javelin and then slings it into its holder across his back in a smooth thrust and recoil. He then finds the incision with his talons and claws into the ghouls chest grabbing at its heart. With his other hand he knocks the ghoul to the ground, leaving only its heart in his hand above the floor.
Zindarik - The handaxe whistles past Hofaen and buries into the chest of the Ghoul with a THUNK. The half-cover provided by Hofaen is not enough to protect it from your wrath.
ROUND 2
Ghoul 3 will attempt to slash Hofaen with its claws once more. It fails to pierce his armor.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Baldwin crushes the other ghoul’s heart in his hand and turns his attention to the one that Ankita is fighting. He grabs his javelin from his back and thrusts it at the ghoul, followed by a swift back heel kick.
Baldwin follows behind Ankita, at the ready for whatever might appear next
Hofaen returns to the party and follows Baldwin and Ankita.

Baldwin - The ghoul is eviscerated by your assault. Would you like to describe how Baldwin does this?
Ghoul 2 is DEAD.
Ankita - Your glowing staff smacks the Ghoul with a CRUNCH. It growls and leers at you with its milky white eyes.
Hofaen is up! Followed by Ghoul 1, then Zindarik.
As Baldwin screeches Hofaen can see his Javelin and claws going to work, he wheels around to face Ghoul 3 bringing his warhammer up, then down into Ghoul’s face, in one smooth movement.
Attack: 11 Damage: 9
PC | Hofaen - Curse of Strahd by Dylanthalas
Hofaen - The Ghoul bats aside your attack and roars at you, showering you with foul spittle.
Ghoul 1 will strike back at Ankita with its claws. She manages to knock them away with her staff.
Attack: 12 Damage: 10
Zindarik is up! Followed by Ghoul 2, then Ghoul 4.
Baldwin creates an incision in the ghouls chest with his javelin and then slings it into its holder across his back in a smooth thrust and recoil. He then finds the incision with his talons and claws into the ghouls chest grabbing at its heart. With his other hand he knocks the ghoul to the ground, leaving only its heart in his hand above the floor.
With narrow passageways making his attack difficult, Zindarik hurls one of his handaxes at the ghoul before Hofaen...
Zindarik - The handaxe whistles past Hofaen and buries into the chest of the Ghoul with a THUNK. The half-cover provided by Hofaen is not enough to protect it from your wrath.
ROUND 2
Ghoul 3 will attempt to slash Hofaen with its claws once more. It fails to pierce his armor.
Attack: 10 Damage: 9
Ghoul 4 will dodge.
Attack: 7 Damage: 6Baldwin is up! Followed by Ankita, then Hofaen.
Baldwin crushes the other ghoul’s heart in his hand and turns his attention to the one that Ankita is fighting. He grabs his javelin from his back and thrusts it at the ghoul, followed by a swift back heel kick.
Javelin: Attack: 7 Damage: 9
Kick: Attack: 17 Damage: 7
Baldwin - The javelin misses but your kick knocks the Ghoul's jaw loose. Its tongue lolls out of its mouth and it moans angrily at you.
Ankita is up! Followed by Hofaen, then Ghoul 1.
Ankita takes her staff, spins herself around and collides her staff with the ghoul along it’s side. Attack: 15 Damage: 11
Ankita - Your staff smacks the Ghoul, shattering its shoulder. Its left arm hangs limply at its side.
Hofaen is up! Followed by Ghoul 1, then Zindarik.
Hofaen continues to swing his hammer into Ghoul 3 growling as he casts divine favor at the frustration of missing.
Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
(Didn’t get the damage right because of trying to add divine favor so rolling separately here: 8 bludgeoning + 2 radiant damage)
He moves into the North tunnel to give Zindarik a clear shot at the ghoul, once more trusting to his shield to keep him safe.
PC | Hofaen - Curse of Strahd by Dylanthalas
Hofaen - Your warhammer slams into the Ghoul and erupts with a radiant flash as it impacts. The Ghoul squeals in pain and is looking very hurt!
Ghoul 1 will try to claw Ankita with the arm that still works. Its attack misses and it slings foul spittle from its broken jaw.
Attack: 22 Damage: 9
Zindarik is up! Followed by Ghoul 3, then Ghoul 4.
Zindarik lunges forward, longsword in hand, and attempts to strike the ghoul (#3) down...
(If the creature falls, then Zindarik moves to the space adjacent to Baldwin)
Zindarik - Your sword strikes true! How do you strike down the ghoul?
Ghoul 4 will lurch down the hallway and lash out at Zindarik with its claws. It misses terribly!
Attack: 17 Damage: 5
Baldwin is up! Followed by Ankita, then Hofaen.
Thrusting his longsword directly into the ghoul's (#3) chest, Zindarik then drives the blade upward into the creature's neck.
(Utilizing battle master's riposte as a reaction to the 4th ghoul's unsuccessful melee attack)
The ghoul's claws skip off Zindarik's shield, leaving the creature vulnerable to a quick counterstrike...
