Storm Lord's Wrath - RP Thread

If either of those would be killing blows, Tor will turn his sword to use the flat of the blade to send her sprawling on the ground unconscious.

If neither are killing blows, he will make the second one a Menacing Attack (+4 damage, and a WIS save DC 14). He stands over her with his sword pointed at the wounded attacker "STAY DOWN!"

(I've also realised that my attack rolls should have been with advantage because she is prone, but I don't think I'll need the advantage this time.)

The battle changes in an instant, as two of the townsfolk join in the fray.

Ace's daggers "thunk" into the watery flesh of the horse, then drop to the ground as the thing dissolves and drops the other rider to the ground. 

Tor rains blows down upon the other rider who cannot defend herself, though none of his blows kill her (Wis DC 14: 3)

Rawlings, seemingly shocked by the suddenness of the attack, sends two eldritch blasts far wide of their target.

Vandeyr shimmers with a protective force.

At the start of their turn, Brother Siegfried's spiritual guardians slice up the dismounted knights (Wis DC 17: DK1 13 DK2 13)

Both of the downed knights fail taking (19) radiant damage. And, while their bodies show no external damage, they both drop with a gruesome thud, leaking blood from eyes, ears, and mouth. 

GM notes:

 The Archers, recognizing Brother Siegfried as the largest threat, send all their attacks towards him.
Archer 1: Attack 1: 8 Damage: 9 Attack 2: 17 Damage: 9
Archer 2: Attack 1: 14 Damage: 11 Attack 2: 17 Damage: 7

I'll post a picture in a bit.

As Tor has the knight at sword point on the ground, he sees a grimace of fear overcome her features.

"Don't you move," he growls at her. Just as he finishes his sentence the spectral reapers whirl past, their ethereal blades passing through the knight. She jerks violently, blood foams from her eyes, nose and mouth, and she drops lifeless onto the ground.

"Damn it!" Tor mutters, before shouting out to the Swords, and the two townsfolk who appear to have stayed to help "We need one alive for questioning!"

Concentration check:  5

A hail of arrows land around Brother Siegfried, but his faith protects him from all but one, which is stopped by his armor but hits with enough force to bruise badlyand knock the wind out of him.  But through force of will he is able to maintain control over the divine spirit guardians.

"Dreadfully sorry!" he gasps to Tor when he can suck wind again.  "I'll aim for just the horse this time!"

Siegfried will dash north and east to a place the catches the horse but not the occupants of the wagon within the area of effect of his spell.

(I believe there are two archers and a watery horse left?)

Vandeyr raises a rod, a black steel tube carved with runes. It starts to glow with heat, until he hears-  the as yet unmet - Tor shouting to leave one alive. The runes shift, and Vandeyr speaks a single infernal word. 

Casting blindness/deafness at 4th level on the archers and horse; DC 15 Con save

Brother Siegfried moves north and east bringing the watery horse into range of his spiritual guardians (Wisdom Save: 9).

The watery horse takes 13 radiant damage.

It bursts into a watery grave. The cart continues to barrel forward however.

Without the horse between it, the shaft drops into the ground: (8; on a 1-5 it digs in and catapults the cart and archers into the dispersing people; on a 6-15 it just slides forward and stops after a few feet; on a 16-20 it comes to an immediate stop without rolling into Sigi's guardians.)

The cart and archer's slide forward 15 feet, ending squarely within Brother Siegfried's area of effect. (Archer 1 Wis Save: 12; Archer 2 Wis Save: 8); or take the above 23 radiant damage.

The archers cry out in frustration and pain as the spectral reapers hack at them, but they are still alive.

Con save vs. (I'm assuming?) blindness: Archer 1 12; Archer 1 10

Ace, Rawlings, and Tor can go.

Rawlings, a bit bewildered as her blasts go completely wild, watches as the last horse disappears beyond the spirit circle.  As the archers enter it, she hears the cries of pain but knows these fighters want one alive.  So she focuses on the one closest to her..

Attack: 11 Damage: 6

Attack: 14 Damage: 7

 Using her eldritch blast... sorry about that.

 Yes, thank you

The people have mostly gotten away from the attack, running off into the nearby forest.

The two archers appear overwhelmed by Sigi's spectral reapers. Vandeyr knows that he has blinded them, but it would likely be unclear to anyone else--at least without an arcana roll--if they can't see or are just clumsily trying to fend off the spiritual guardians. Regardless, they appear vulnerable. Rawlings easily strikes the front archer with her eldritch blasts, the rays streaking out in quick succession.

Tor and Ace can go.

Determined to take one of the attackers into custody, Tor powers over to the cart, sheathing his sword on the way so that he has use of both hands. With a roar he will try to grab one of the archers and haul them off the cart, wrestling them to the ground with an arm twisted behind their back. They're rough tactics, but then he's a rough man, both literally and figuratively, and he doesn't have time for niceties.

Grapple(?): Athletics check: 20

Or just STR check(?): 10

(Let me know if I have advantage on the check because they're blinded and I can reroll the appropriate check.)

(Yeah, Athletics vs either Athletics or Acrobatics, I'll give them disadvantage because they're blinded, you can roll again for advantage too)

Acrobatics roll: 8

Despite his blindness, he still nearly evades Tor's grasp. Nevertheless, Tor manages to wrestle the archer down, knocking the longbow from his grasp as he does so. 

The archer is grappled but not restrained.

Just waiting on Ace.
