Forgotten Realms Tales

Logan:

Noting how recklessly Gorm is attacking, Logan steps up onto the corpse of the fallen Kruthik and blocks the way to the vulnerable raging barbarian.  He then focuses completely on defense, trying to deflect all incoming attacks!

Dodge (plus heavy armor master gives DR 3)

The elf swings his blade upwards and the edge cuts deep one of the legs of the creature. The arc is so wide that the flames jump over the nearest one and fall upon the other, huring it too. Both creatures schreechs and gets ready for retaliation.

Dr A sends another set of magic missiles at the creatures 11

Logan:

Watching his capable friends damage the foes with blade and spell, Logan hopes his defenses are enough to withstand the creature's deadly response!

The magic missiles from Dr. A. destroys the skull of another beast, but it doesn't had really fallen to the ground when the other one jumps over it and try to maul Logan along with the other one suviving beast. 

Combat Tracker:

EDIT TO THE ATTACKS:

 Logan's sees himself almost overrun by the savage attack of the creatures, even with the help of his shield and faithful armor, the beasts claws pierce his armor and flesh, causing deep cuts and one literally pierces his left tight side to side. 

The smell of the blood seems to encourage the creatures that focus their attention on Logan. 

They all can feel a low rumble in the walls and ground around them.

Logan:

Noting how recklessly Gorm is attacking, Logan steps up onto the corpse of the fallen Kruthik and blocks the way to the vulnerable raging barbarian.  He then focuses completely on defense, trying to deflect all incoming attacks!

Dodge (plus heavy armor master gives DR 3)

Logan dodges as best he can, using shield and armor to its fullest extent.  Still, three fearsome strikes hit him, with the first one merely scratching his armor, but the other two penetrating deeper and drawing blood even with his best efforts to interpose steel between himself and the voracious creatures!

     Gorm, seeing Logan take such a heavy barrage, moves to try to get a bit in front of him and try to draw some of the attacks from him.  If the movement doesn’t do it perhaps her reckless attacks on the monsters will…

Scimitar attack:  21 for 12 damage grr, forgot adv for reckless, that bumps it to 25 to hit.)

Bonus Action offhand scimitar attack:  Nat 20 for 27 to hit and 15 damage.

     Gorm smiles fiercely from her attacks but the enjoyment is short lived.  “Say, is the ground moving for you all too?”

Logan:

Bloody but still full of vigor, Logan steps up to the most wounded creature and slashes at it with his longsword, slamming into it with his shield and trying to knock it down afterwards!

Longsword:  Attack: 8 Damage: 12

Shove to the ground / Athletics:  9

Attacks on Logan's clarification:

 Athletics roll for the Kruthik: Nat 1.

The elf takes advantage of the fallen beast and tries to finish it off with his sword, slashing deep into the beasts quitniose skin but it screeches and gets ready to stand up.

(Attack 22 damage 11 ) 

"Yeah the ground is shakin for me too... " says the elf, a little bit worried about that.

Initiative Tracker: Dr. A's turn.

Dr A casts another set of magic missiles at the remaining creature(s) 13

The magic energy missiles strike true at the creature who schreeches and, blinded by pain and rage tries to destroy Logan

The rumble under their feet become stronger and its accompanied by an increasing sound the earth oarund them suddenly erupts sending dirt and rocks around, blinding them. Among the cloud of debris three more creatures join the fight and try to end the tresspasseres to their territory.

Edit to the above attacks:

- Last set of attacks are on Thadnril. 

     Gorm ducks, dodges and avoids as best as she can but does get tagged once.  (6 damage reduced to 3 due to rage...)

     "How many of these things are there?" Gorm calls out in a hiss of pain but keeps dancing and attacking all the same.  Gorm attacks the one that managed to hit her on the theory that one has to be alive in order to help others... ((Reckless attacks so attacks against her also have advantage... Speaking of, the nat 1 rolled against her above should get a second roll since it should have had advantage...))

Scimitar Attack:  26 for 12 damage....

Bonus Action offhand Scimitar Attack:  9 for 8 damage...

Logan:

Badly wounded himself, Logan tries to take down the most injured monster with a savage Longsword attack.  Rather than shield smash, he takes a deep breath and tries to retain consciousness as the battle rages on.

Longsword:  Attack: 22 Damage: 8

Second Wind Hp:  12

Initiative Tracker: This post will include Thandril, and Dr A.  turns.

 Thandril's turn:

The elf kicks the kruthik that just appeared in front of him in the face and takes one step forwards, he moves his sword in a wide arc and brings it close to his chest. The silvery flames seems to recoil and dissapear near the hilt of the sword just before he thrust with it and all the flames erupt forward, burning the two creatures that were attacking both Logan and Gorm. 

Dr. A's turn: 

Seeing that his friend is being badly wounded the tortle takes some measures to deal with the monstar that is trying to eat him and says. 

"Abut you need to remain strong my friend, it seems that we have more of these creatures to deal with... what are you by the way? " he seems to talk to the beast that had appeared next to him " It seems to me that you are some kind of insect of the family of the arthropod phylum ahbut look at that joint-legs of yours, you could rather be arthropds, of the subphylum Chelicerata.... " 

The words seems to actually bother the creature that sriehks in pain as the good doctor speaks. 

The silver flames engulf the beasts and the one in front of Logan rolls on the floor tryuing to suffocate them, but is the last thing it does before lying on the floor, the legs curled towards his burnt body. The one that had just emerged, jumps up  just in time and fall over the elf, trying to take revenge. The other one follows his comrade and tries to pin the elf down too.

Kruthik's turn.

Despitge the ferocity of its attacks the beast trying to get the best of Dr. A cannot penetrate the hard shell of the good scientist as he tries to catalogize it. 

The attack on the elf is more ravenous, but he doesn't stop the dance of his feet and sword and he makes a circular arc with the sword, the silver flames leaving a trace of fire above him. When the first kruthik claws impact this the fiery trace in the air explode, descending like a cascade above the elf, creating a dome of sislvery light and stopping what would have a mortal attack. It even stops the claws of the other one that otherwise would have impacted him probably causing grevious wounds. The beasts screech in frustration but Thandril only smirks, ready to retaliate. 

Initiative Tracker:  Gorm's turn Logan's one after that.

 Combat Tracker:

Logan:

”Thanks, Doctor A,” says Logan gratefully, making a mental note to train with Thandril if possible given the elf’s formidable combat prowess.

Love the Dr A post
