This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gurozstrides on, very away of the gritty realities often cut out of the tales of heroes. He thinks of the young faces of travellers he guided through the woods, who were inspired by great tales. He wondered how far they got...
His attention snaps back as there are talks of figures ahead.
Chonk so intent are you in your search for suitable timber that you do not immediately spot the group up ahead.
Lefaris you alert the others and you all see four grey skinned figures armed in leather surrounding a fifth stranger dressed in blue hooded robes. You watch as one of them levels a crossbow at the blue robed stranger and another pushes them hard enough to knock them to the ground. You hear their victim cry out and the grey skinned attackers laugh. Sindri they are too far away to see whether these are villagers or not for sure, but the grey skin would indicate not.
Guroz you know what you are seeing here regardless of the world you find yourself in. These are bandits of some sort and their ambush of the blue robed stranger is about to come to a bloody end... unless something is done.
OOC: No worries Chonk, the smithy had no spear heads anyway lol. We will say you popped your head in on the way past.
"Hey you, leave that man alone!" Lefaris shouts, striding forward, her hand crossbow coming up and a bolt sent hurtling towards one of the men with gray skin.
To hit: 13 / 19 Damage: 6
(rolling two to-hit rolls, in case she is more than 30 feet away when she has to shoot. She'd try to get closer than 30 feet, but not sure how far away we are...)
Lefaris you started 120 feet away and closed the distance to 90 before you released your bolt. However, your bolt hits despite the distance and takes one of the grey skins in the shoulder causing them to cry out in pain.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Chonk was getting discouraged that he had thus far been unable to find anything remotely suitable for fashioning a weapon. Then, sudden action, Lefaris darts ahead and shouts. Here we go, thinks Chonk.
Chonk will run and then Dash his full 70’ to close the distance. He waves his arms and shouts, “PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!”
He hopes to cause some confusion as they see a relatively scrawny dwarf charging towards them. Also, if he can pull them away from the victim or cause the bolts and arrows to fly at him rather than into the traveler, all the better.
Bonus Action: Patient Defense (really struggled whether I should pop this now, we’ll see if it is wasted)
Chonk summons this new energy within him, this Ki, to bend like the willow in a breeze. His focus is enhanced and the world seems to slow down as he reacts with fluid movements to any oncoming threats.
Lefaris you aim for the same target, and this time they fall back dead as the bolt takes them in the eye!
There are three bandits remaining and two of them charge forward drawing swords. They dash into place either side of you Chonk and ready their blades looking for a gap in your defences.
The third levels their crossbow at you Lefaris and lets a bolt fly. Attack: 10 Damage: 8
Guroz and Sindri you are up!
(You stand 70 feet from the bandits near Chonk and 120 feet from the Bandit using a Crossbow).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sindri watches in horror as the bandits surround Chonk, "No!!" she cries and runs as fast as her little legs will carry her (25 feet) and fires off an Eldritch Blastat one of the two that are trying to flank Chonk.
Chonk is encouraged that one of the bandits has fallen and that two are rushing away from the victim. Even a small smile creeps onto his face as he sees that the ruffian’s bolt was not aimed at the downed traveler. He watches as the bolt intended for Lefaris whistles by, harmlessly. The smile is replaced with a stoic visage as he realizes he left himself open to be flanked. Again, relief and the sly smile returns when he sees that Guroz will arrive in time. The rush of ki subsides but it does not diminish his focus on his attack. He looks for soft targets on one of the armed bandits and strikes swiftly and decisively.
Unarmed Attack: 18 Damage: 4
Martial Arts Bonus Attack: 20 Damage: 6
He re-centers himself after the attacks and gathers himself for the retaliation.
Lefaris moves to within 30 feet of the enemies moving into melee with her companions. She lifts her hand crossbow again, sending another bolt flying at one of the bandits... Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Chonk you feel the crunch of bone and cartilage as your elbow slams into the bulbous nose of one attacker. They stumble back just out of reach, leaving you second attack to swing wide of its mark.
Lefaris, seeing one of the bandits stumble back from Chonk holding their bloodied nose you release a crossbow bolt. It slams home into their temple and sends them falling sideways into the dirt... dead.
Seeing their companion hit the dirt the bandit near you strikes out with their sword toward you Chonk; Attack: 13 Damage: 4
The other bandit lets a second bolt fly toward you Lefaris; Attack: 20 Damage: 3
Guroz and Sindri you are up!

They all turn to see where the attack came from.
Everyone roll initiative!

"Everyone, stay sharp!" The half-orc lets out and brandishes his dagger and wooden blade. "It begins," he says, more to himself.
Guroz's Initiative: 6
(wow, all under 10? hopefully we're saving our good rolls are for attack and damage!)
Initiative order :
The enemy are 120 feet away from all except Lefaris who has dashed forward 30 feet

Chonk you move with speed and grace and now stand 50 feet from the bandits, ready for their attack.
Lefaris you are up!
DM - Warlock of Firetop Mountain
Lefaris moves another 30 feet further towards the bandits, shooting at which ever of them looks the most injured.
Attack: 12 Damage: 5
Lefaris you aim for the same target, and this time they fall back dead as the bolt takes them in the eye!

Sindri watches in horror as the bandits surround Chonk, "No!!" she cries and runs as fast as her little legs will carry her (25 feet) and fires off an Eldritch Blast at one of the two that are trying to flank Chonk.
Attack: 22 Damage: 9
Guroz charges as far as he can, hoping Chonk can hold on for a little longer...
(Being so far away, Guroz will simply move then Dash to get into melee range with the
bozosbandits!)Sindri you dart forward but in your panic and haste your eldritch blast goes wide and slams into a nearby oak tree.
Guroz reach the combatants ready to fight and prevent them from fully flanking Chonk.
In the distance the blue robe stranger crawls backward away from the path.
