Crimson Sands of Time

The zombies moving slowly as they do, nearly reach the intruders, buy the dread warriors each find a target in one of the brothers, Ethan and Randy.

Battleaxe x Randy 7 for 7 slashing, 14 for 7 slashing

Battleaxe x Ethan 6 for 7 slashing, 15 for 7 slashing

End of dragon's turn save vs Tasha's 11.

As the flash if fire extinguished, the red wizard is seen, briefly as he fades back into visibility, before ducking begind some foliage.

PCs are up.

<map>

(Concentration roll for damage: 25)

For a moment, Piccolo seems to turn misty, then disappear. Then she reappears. She moves forward to 20 feet from the dread warrior while two thorny daggers materialize in her hand. Expertly, she tosses both of them at the warrior.

(To hit dagger 1: 16, damage: 9 magic piercing, Dagger 2: Sneak attack: 17 magic piercing on DW1)

Then, she dashes back into the prior room and out of line of sight of the red wizard (cunning action).

(As a reaction, when DW2: If still up attacks/ if it goes down, DW1 or zombie), she will play an almost painful shrill high pitched note on her instrument: Cuttings words(Sounds): Subtract 1D10 from its attack)

DEX Save: 15 (12 + Flash of Genius +3) "ARGH!" Randy briefly takes the Fireball impact and then takes a hit from the dread warrior. "She's right. We need to tear them down fast! Everyone pick a target out of these two and take them down! AND WHERE DID THAT BLOODIED WIZARD GO?!" Seeing that he has to go melee, Randy draws out his Mace and prepares to retaliates alongside a point blank ballista shot.

Mace Attack: 14 Damage: 11

BA Point blank shot: 18 Damage: 21 and pushed back 5ft

Picollos attacks fail to connect with the dread warrior.

<So, this reaction would be for the next attack DW2 makes, then? I know its weird bwcause it csn ne used between tbe attack roll and the resukt declaration,  but pbp doesnt really support that, so its a hand wave, meaning if you wanted tonapply it to the previous attack, assuming yiu were within range, yoi could. If it is for the next round, its also assuming within range, but it probably will be.>

(Oops missing second attack: dagger to hit: 31, damage with sneak. 17)

(use on attack this round to stop one hit hopefully. )

AND WHERE DID THAT BLOODIED WIZARD GO?!" Seeing that he has to go melee, Randy draws out his Mace and prepares to retaliates alongside a point blank ballista shot.

Mace Attack: 19 Damage: 7

If Belt Of Hill Giant Strength has been attuned in this round:  30 Damage: 12

BA Point blank shot: 26 Damage: 7 and pushed back 5ft

 <we don't use attunement, at all, for precisely this reason. Magic items just work>

The dread warrior (DW2) takes a Mace to the shoulder and a cannonball to the solar plexus, knocking him back 5ft.

DEX Save: 16 Neither of DW 2's attack even make a dent on Ethan as he deliberately blocks the attacks with his carapace. But he was right in a way: That injured wizard should've been finished rather than spared. Doesn't matter. He's got new targets to focus on anyways. And this might be a perfect time to vent out out his long bottled rage.

Strike 1: Nat 20, 14 Damage total (Awful Crit 9 + 5 Necrotic)..

Strike 2: 15, 15 Total (10 + 5 Necrotic)

Both attack are on the dread warrior that tried to attack him. (Dread warriors don't count as humanoids do they?)

Sam and T are up.

(Oops missing Piccolo's second attack to hit roll: dagger to hit: 31, yes, that is 31 to hit:  damage with sneak. 17)

(use on attack this round to stop one hit hopefully. 

(To help with the PBP aspect, I feel it may work if I just declare it prior to you rolling for a specific thing (such as next attack, save by the thing, etc. Then you just subtract 1d10, then in timing, if the thing dies, move it to the next foe. Hope that works)

Tetrevess hurries into the rear of the group, “Sorry… erm.   what do we have… ahh.. Laughing dragon,  wizard… more undead..”

he casts a spell and a halo of spinning orbs of light circles his head.  One of them launches (BA) at Dread warrior two (  Crown of stars). 34 to hit, 27 radiant damage if it hits.

Subtract Dice rolls not yet available for this section. from to hit prior attack, per #5299

That brings it to a 17 and that's a miss, so Randy avoids 7 slashing damage.

The crown of stars destroys the dread warrior.

Sam is up.

Sam moves in the room 

and casts guiding bolt 1st level 24 to hit the dragon 14 raident damage 

The dragon fluoresces with an eerie luminous glow.

<I missed it before, but Trisk is still up.>

(ooc: since my initiative allows me to act before the enemy I take my turn the moment the enemy wizard becomes visible before he gets to duck out of sight behind the bushes... if this is allowed?)

Trisk will cast Minor Illusion to create the illusion of the enemy wizard wearing a suit of scale mail but with no visor or eye holes in the helmet, which will be all one piece and tight around the neck so as not to be able to be removed, and then with his Illusory Reality feature make the suit of armor real for 1 minute.

"Focus on the Dread Knights, I'll keep the wizard at bay for now!" Trisk yells to add his warning to the others.
