and move towards the dragon

Inside his head: Hey bunny boy! I don't know if you can hear me but this bastard will need more than a few melee weapons to dent him! Trust me: Ethan couldn't even crush his bones with that stupid bat of his, let alone whatever baseballs he summoned out of the blue! Be prepared for that!

 
Oli replies in his head, I never said I thought I could take him out with only my crossbow. I thought we would be grabbing his book today, not fighting him. Out loud to the group he asks, "Are we attacking him or running?" while running to the nearest tree to hide behind (Cunning Action) Stealth roll in log: 31

 Hearing oli question you see Sam also disappear from sight 

and respond in his head “look there more of us than him oli and I will move around the back and flank him you lot keep him busy” 

Chadderlay will run 30 feet to the left and cast Cone of Cold at the dragon.

DC 18 DEX save or take 45 cold damage. Half damage for a successful save.

"Spread out! Different directions!"

(sorry, lol forgot init.)

Chadderlay's Initiative: 15 

<wlbear update: I saw 3 access request, so I hit 'admit' the old style was an optional password, which would be better for our asynchronous format. Youre coming in from the edge where the boat is (you don't have to use the poleboat, its just there to give you an idea where youre starting.  You're possible spread out quite a bit as you look for the wells, etc.  It's center left.>

 I should have specified, so I'll allow this one to go off, but Velvet is mostly going to maintain an altitude of 80ft here, unless otherwise noted (this is directly from the module and makes sense for the intent.

Spoiler:

Additionally, I'm ruling that any creatures on his back are out of range.

If you prefer, you can take it back before I make the save against it. My apologies for the oversight.

<npcs can make stealth checks vs Oli as needed.  I'm giving some more time for players to add tokens to the map themselves but eventually if they don't I'll just do it. It's for the players' benefit, in theory, but I don't mind moving toke s for them at all.>

Alistar grips his staff as he waits for the dragon to be on the ground. For now casting Faerie Fire on the dragon trying to highlight his form for his allies.

Initiative: 9

Dex save 16 to avoid the spell

Ff still has a range of 60ft.  

Whenever initiative 16 rolls around, fhe kobolds lurking around the ruins start to close, those riding Throstelgrael start throwing things and the two trolls waiting within the temple emerge.

<I'll roll their actions when I have time>

ooc: Oli wanted to be behind a tree to take shots while hidden and then hide again to get Sneak Attack damage. Can I move my marker to the tree closest to the boat instead of in the open as he is, or should I move from where you put the marker?

I just threw down some markers. Ideally players will move them as they see fit.  If you can, you may also use custom markers. I was just keeping it simple tonstsrt with new players and updated software. Etc.

But, yes. I assumed you'd be near a tree or soemthing.

ooc: How tall are the ruins above the water, 4-5 feet? Going back to the tree does group us up a bit, so it may be better for me to start where you put me. I'll say that is were Oli moved to and forget about the Stealth roll.

Sure, 4-5ft sounds good.  The temple itself is tall enough to hold some trolls, maybe 1f or 20ft

Repeated info:

Most of the ground within the ruins is covered with 1 to 2 feet of slow-moving water. However, the hidden wells are quite deep and difficult to see. All of this make traversing the ruins dangerous as a number of traps have been laid by the kobolds within. Here and there willow trees and reeds lightly obscure creatures standing within or behind them

It would be nice if we could get owlbear's initiative teacher working.  So far I csn only see Tetrevess as a player, bit even then, I haven't figured out how to add him to the initiative. Still part if the learning curve.  Anyhow.

Save vs Cone of Cold Throstelgrael 26

A kobold weilding a makeshifr battleaxe and wearing a tiny empty flask around its neck swings wildly at Chadderly 24 for 8 slashing. (Reckless. Attacks against this kobold have AD this round)

Throstelgrael makes a line fir Samogri, dipping as he clears the nearest tree,

Kobolds drop items on Sam, Alistar and Randy as they fly overhead, shouting insults and laughing hysterically.

Alistar 5

Sam 5

Randy 1

Just before he reaches Sam, Velvet turns his head and launches a stream of acidic spit straight at Randy (DC 14 Dex save for ½ of 49 acid damage)

<I'm not sure if Oli's position is just an artifact or if that's where the player moved it.  If it's supposed to he there, make the save, otherwise ignore it>

Alistar - Stinkpot: 24 to hit, target must succeed at a DC 11 Constitution save or be poisoned for 1 minute. As an action, a poisoned character repeat the saving throw, ending the condition early if successful

Sam - Rock: 11 to hit, 6 bludgeoning damage.

Randy - Acidpot: 19 to hit, 7 acid damage

One troll spots Tetrevess and immediately dashes toward the wizard.  The other sniffs the air for a moment (Perception- smell) 4

Smelling nothing over the noxious odor of Velvet's breath and the decay of the swamp, he saunters behind the other troll.

*2 kobolds get kicked off the Dragon's back 

<I hope we didnt miss anyone. Speak up if we did.  Initiative below the target should go now.  I usual make a lost of Initiatives and put checks next to it when players post. I was hoping owlbear 2.0 would be in place to help with that, but looks like its still going to be a manual process.  I will still psor screnshots here.  So far i think im moving almost everyones tokens.  Is anyone moving their own tokens? I just dint want to move you if youve already moved yourself.>

oh sorry i moved myself but move me back.  i also have ny manifest mind up..

Dex Save: 20
