(7,17,7,6,15,15)

Malichi the Tiefling of many talents, being the first to spot the wriggly enemies emerge from their den, manages to execute an impressive combat maneuver that nobody else notices because they're busy with bugs of their own.  He does, however, take out Centipede 5 with a well-placed arrow through the ... head?  He then has to quickly duck out of the way as an errant gnomish crossbow bolt from the front of the party comes whizzing by, having missed Centipede 6.

Centipede 6, unaware of its luck, rushes Malachi and bites his thigh, causing 4 piercing damage and injecting its venom (DC 11 Con Save vs Poison).

 Amelia's first thrust skewers Centipede 4, spilling green goo over the webbed floor.  C3 goes after Cerlinde, but its pincer-like jaws snap shut on empty air as she nimbly spins out of reach, releasing her firebolt for a direct hit, causing the creature to explode and rain ichor over everyone.

Zensiro's dagger wedges between two chitinous segments of the writhing C2, but it powers through and attacks him, finding the seam in his armor and stabbing its poisonous jaws into his flesh (4 piercing damage and DC 11 CON Save vs. poison).  The ranger's scimitar beheads C1, which drops in its tracks on the silken floor.

(Waiting on Dyumi for end of round 1)

(Nice battle running!   Remember Cerlinde has mage armor up, I can’t remember if I adjusted her sheet to show that.). 

Dyumi prepares for the fight, and will cast shilleagh on himself and guidance on his nearest ally.

(apologies for the late response)

(End of Round 1)

Zensiro attempts to dislodge the centipede that has latched onto his arm before its poison can seep into his veins.

Saving Throw CON 5

Unable to do so, Zensiro feels a searing pain extend up his arm and spread through his torso as the poison takes effect.

(Guessing this is qualifies as a giant centipede, so Zensiro takes 8 poison damage.)

(Start of Round 2)

Badly wounded on top of being poisoned, Zensiro struggles to maintain his focus as he rounds again on C2.  He takes two clumsy swings with his scimitar and dagger, desperate to separate himself from this dangerous foe.

Scimitar of Wounding - attack vs. C2: 10, damage: 8 w/intention to wound, at disadvantage due to poison

Bonus Action - Two Weapon Fighting
Dagger - attack vs. C2: 10, damage (piercing): 2, at disadvantage due to poison

(Ugh, that did not go well!  Blew a nat 20, too.)

 Saving throw CON 16

 [OOC What can I say? Maybe Lady Luck is watching over him? 🤔]

Round 1 Summary

Centipedes 1, 3, 4, 5 dead

Centipede 2 (at the front) wounded

Centipede 6 (at the back) intact (unless I missed an AoO)

Great green gobs of centipede guts everywhere.

(Good job!  Time to finish them off!)

(Round 2)

Dyumi will assist Zensiro with a vine-covered staff swung at C2's head. He will also ask if Zensiro needs healing.

Attack: 15 Damage: 10

"How're ya holding up?"

(Still Round 2)

Zensiro turns to Dyumi after seeing the druid crush C2's head and quips, "You should see the other guy, right?  Thanks for the timely assist.  I think I can hold off on the healing, at least until this last one's taken care of.  That poison is starting to burn, though."  Zensiro sheathes his blades and takes out his longbow, while making a note to grab his dagger from the felled beast once the last of its comrades are defeated.

Cerlinde shoots the centipede in the back with a firebolt: 23 to hit

7 damage fire 

“almost got them” she says..

(Round 2)

Malichi drops his bow and drives his dagger into C6's head

Attack: Dagger 24

Damage: 5

Malichi and Cerlinde simultaneously annihilate the 6th Centipede, resulting in virtual disintegration.  And goo. Lots of goo.

Dyumi smashes the 2nd Centipede, dropping it to the webbed floor.

You are now out of combat. How would  you like to proceed?

“Anyone hurt?  Did their bite have poison?” Says Cerlinde, with concern. 

Zensiro, wincing with each step and breathing heavily, responds, "Cerlinde, I have taken a rather nasty bite and from past experience, I believe that I have been poisoned as well.  Does anyone else in the party require assistance?  I don't want to take away from other wounded who were less careless than I."  Zensiro then walks slowly over to retrieve his dagger from the fallen centipede with the crushed head.

"I'm good" Malichi says "Just a scratch here. Although I think I'm going pay more attention to where I step after this"

"well, I'm good, so no healing needed for me," Zithers says as he wipes as much goo off him as he can "but with the others in worse condition I vote we take a short rest and tend to our wounds, where i can study this mysterious red shard further. Amos, however, did gift us that healing salve so if we wish to press on we can simply apply that and keep moving forward quicker. I'm afraid we do not have any antivenom though."

"I can rest or go on, as others need. I'm just awestruck by where we are" Malichi says looking around "It's all so amazing!"

(Of note, the restorative ointment, of which you have 14 doses (assuming someone picked up the tin Mohdrak dropped), does remove the poisoned condition).

(So, what is the plan?  How will you address the potentially dangerous gap in the tunnel? In the candlelight it is difficult to tell, but it seemed to be at least 20 feet wide. Will you keep the same marching order?)

 "If it helps, I have a grappling hook" Malichi offers, trying to be useful

(I think that earlier i had said I picked up the tin of restorative ointment )

Quote from TechnoPagan >>

 "If it helps, I have a grappling hook" Malichi offers, trying to be useful

 "And indeed that would help! If no one else has any objections, let's see if we can hook it onto the other side and climb or walk across," Zithers replies

"But first, if we have wounded we should take a moment to regather our wits and tend to injuries." Zithers would also like to shuffle over to second in marching order, to get a better view of whats ahead when everyone decides to press on.
