Graxx continues his assault on the giant zombie snake!
"How deep is this pool?!" Graxx shouts!
Attack: 12 Damage: 23
Attack: 21 Damage: 25
Divine Radiant: 7
(OOC: Reckless GWM were applied)
Still struggling to get out of the giant znake's coiled grasp, Neya strikes with her sword once more with as many attacks as she could muster.
Longsword (2-handed) Attack: 11 Damage: 7 (13, 8)
Extra Longsword (2-handed) Attack: 23 Damage: 5 (18, 13)
Action Surge!
Longsword (2-handed) Attack: 27 Damage: 14 (12, 8)
Extra Longsword (2-handed) Attack: 12 Damage: 6 (16, 14)
Bonus action (1 ki point for Flurry of Blows)
FoB 1 Attack: 27 Damage: 11 (10, 9)
FoB 2 Attack: 14 Damage: 9 (16, 6)
(1 ki point for Focused Aim on first attack, making that attack roll 15)
Extended Signature
DM's Screen:
INT save {DC 16}: -3
Once again, Neya squirms as she is able to within the coiled body of the serpent. Despite her constrained movement, the sharp edge of her sword opens a few more cuts, and a pointy elbow forces the wound open even further. (Znake takes 41 magical bludgeoning and slashing damage.)
Surprised that an undead creature doesn't have a survival instinct, Obsben attacks whatever is left of its brain. The mind sliver works as intended. (Znake takes 9 psychic damage.)
Graxx looks into the pool of water and is reminded that the liquid is too dark to allow for the pool's depth to be measured visually. Deciding he should attack the enemy before finding an answer to his question, the barbarian swings his axe twice. The first attack is a complete miss, launching sparks up as the axe blade grates against the floor. The second attack cuts a chunk of undead snake meat off the creature. (Znake takes 25 magical slashing and radiant damage.)
The zombie snake continues to what the only thing it knows how to do:
-> Constrict vs. Neya (restrained): Attack: 19 Damage: 21
-> Bite vs. Graxx (Reckless Attack): Attack: 15 Damage: 22
-> If the bite attack hits, Graxx makes a CON saving throw {DC 15}: 15 against additional poison damage: 18
(OOC: Znake's turn continues in the next post.)
Neya continues to be hugged by the constrictor and is unable to out-strength her foe this time. (Neya takes 28 bludgeoning damage.)
Graxx also fail to avoid the reptilian attacker, though he can count on his dwarven belt to protect him from most of the poisonous effect delivered by the bite. (Graxx takes 12 piercing and poison damage, already halved/quartered.)
(Utar is up next.)
"Doubt any of us want to find out how deep this water is, least not with this thing living in it! BRING IT DOWN!"
Following his own advice, Utar applies Lightbringer to the znake, reasoning that if the thing is no longer undead, it can't hurt the group any longer.
Attack: 28 Damage: 9 plus 1 from divine strike and 5 radiant damage from Lightbinger.
His spectral warhammer follows suit.
Bonus Attack: 24 Damage: 11
(OOC - Going to leave somehow leveraging the spectral warhammer, but a question for next turn - How big is the Znake? Is it more than one size larger than Utar? If so, I've a very bad idea brewing.)
More pieces of the undead snake fall into the pool of dark water as Utar slams Lightbringer against the foe. (Znake takes 14 magical bludgeoning and radiant damage.)
The snake unintentionally moves part of its body away from the Spiritual Weapon, avoiding its attack.
END OF INITIATIVE ROUND 3
(Neya, Obsben, and Graxx may take their turns.)
Given the resilience of the creature, short of Neya somehow bringing it down mere moments before, Obsben would once again dig a bit into her own wounds for the necessary catalyst for a spell to trap the creature in another glitch in time... or at least from its perspective!
Action: Cast (1st level)Glitch on Zombie Snake. Charisma Save(DC 16) or suffer ongoing spell penalties.
When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
In an effort to try and get out of the the giant znake's monstrous grip, Neya attempts to make its dead muscles seize up (1 ki point for stunning strike per successful hit).
Longsword (2-handed) Attack: 22 Damage: 9
Extra Longsword (2-handed) Attack: 20 Damage: 11
Bonus (1 ki point for Flurry of Blows)
FoB 1 Attack: 18 Damage: 8
FoB 2 Attack: 13 Damage: 8
Extended Signature
Graxx recoils a bit from the pain but overall is still fine.
Graxx roars at the snake!
"LET HER GO!" roars Graxx as he once more makes two wild RECKLESS and GWM attacks against the snakes.
Attack: 21 Damage: 19
Attack: 20 Damage: 26
Divine Radiant: 8
DM's Screen:
CON saves {DC 15}, as needed: 17 19 22
CHA save {DC 16}: 17
Neya wiggles some more, making good use of both her blade and her elbows. Digging into a previously made cut, the fighter seemingly severs something of crucial importance for the creature's movement. (Znake's takes 27 magical bludgeoning and slashing damage.)
-> Znake is stunned and incapacitated (@Drache: That was 2 Ki Points in total, including the one used for Flurry of Blows. The -4 penalty from Mind Sliver was applied here.)
The serpent is still coiled around Neya, but the grip severely slackens (much easier DC to escape.)
Sensing the fight is near its end now, Obsben tries to make sure the undead creature does not get a second wind. She damages its sense even further.
Graxx then tries to put an end to the fight but inadvertedly looks directly into Utar's Lightbringer, blinding himself for about four seconds. His swings are wilder than usual, and cut only air.
(The Znake would go next but it is stunned, so it is Utar's turn.)
Utar re-doubles his efforts. Lightbringer and his spectral warhammer striking the znake in stereo.
Attack: 30 Damage: 16 plus 7 from divine strike and 3 radiant damage from Lightbringer on a hit.
Bonus Attack: 12 Damage: 6
(@MB: How do you strike something in stereo?)
The fight has essentially become an all-out brawl. After Utar hits the creature one more time out of two attempts, the serpent wobbles. Despite the display of weakness, it remains upright. (Znake takes 13 magical bludgeoning and radiant damage.)
END OF INITIATIVE ROUND 4
(Neya, Obsben, and Graxx may take their turns.)
Finally seeming to recall Neya's shadow porting trick, Obsben quickly tosses out a cutting barb/joke about the snake being practically brain dead to further erode it's confidence, before then ducking around the corner, hoping to remove her light source from the action. "Sorry Graxx!" She'd call out as well, assuming at no point the man's magically enhanced sight ever came up in some previous discussion.
Action: Cast (Cantrip)You Suck! on Giant Zombie Constrictor Snake. Wis Save(DC 16) or take 5 Psychic Damage and have disadvantage on its next attack.
Movement: To BH-28.
When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
With the muscles slackening, Neya takes the opportunity to pry herself out.
Acrobatics (Dunno why I tried Athletics last time): 9
If successful, she [action]dodge;limbers up[/acton] for any further attacks from the znake.
Extended Signature
Graxx is confused for a moment then shouts.
"Don't worry about me!" shouts Graxx.
Graxx will make two strikes against the snake trying to finish this fight!
Attack: 17 Damage: 22
Attack: 22 Damage: 21
Divine Radiant: 9
