Legacy of the Ascended (2nd iteration)

Take your pick. The only one truly out of melee range is Szazzul. Everything else is scattered throughout the crowd.

Acrobatics please.

(In anticipation of Shy's initiative)

Among the shouts of the horde, drums in the distance can be heard. Szazzul gives a deep, throaty laugh, "My reinforcements come. I admit, Ihad not expected them to move so quickly."

(Along your path from the beginning in the east, Szazzul stands to the west, the drums approach from the north. They seem somewhat far out, but rapidly approaching. Maybe 3 rounds until they come to view)

For my surprise round, Solomon will use his Prodigious Inspiration to prepare a new spell, then he will cast Wall of Force in a sphere around Szazzul.

Acrobatics please.

Oh, geez that makes this even better. Let's go with strength.

Elon will use his telekinesis (mage hand) to redirect the geyser at.... whom ever makes a good target, maybe the eyes of the dragon. Don’t think tea in the eyes would feel good.

Unfortunately, Mage Hand has only limited focefullness as it can only manipulate up to 10lbs of material.

I also had to compare the measurements, but yes, Szazzul is contained by Solomon's Wall of Force (Huge targets are 15x15', the sphere is a 10' radius (20' across))

OOC: Face the power of a bubble, Dragon!

”Great shadow, meet greater bubble. You two are going to be closely acquainted.” Solomon says with a flourish of his wand, before muttering to himself, “I’m glad that worked.”

Ok, Elon will go after the nearest enemy.

attack sword 21 damage 5

unarmed struck offhand 15 damage 9

OOC:Sorry busy day today.

Evelyn slides down the rope, quickly aiming her bow at the largest group, she releases another arrow reciting the same as before.

Conjure Barrage at the largest group of enemies. Damage: 16 Dex Save: 15 for half damage.

Initiative:11

 Solomon, I think I kind of love wall of force. Good call!

OOC: Haha, right!? Multitude of uses! One of which happens to be putting dragons in bubbles!

Elon's sword slices deep into a gnoll while his followup pushes the wounded beast back toward the crowd.

Evelyn's arrow rips through a crowd:

Gnolls 20, 18

Troll: 16

Lizardmen: 8, 15, 8, 7, 17, 19, 11, 6

Shaman: 20, 7

If Crispy would like to take a Surprise round, we can roll along :) the AoEs have already made a respectable dent in their forces in just 1 round.

Also, good thing I went with a Black Dragon. A Green would've been a CR15 instead of 14 and able to cast lvl 3 spells instead of just 1 and 2. My initial thought was dropping Dispel Magic to remove the Rope Trick and turn the tables on how this started.

Very sorry, but I also forgot about the 5 sub-leader lizardmen as well :P

20

Here's my two surprise shots. I'll target whomever is within range, whomever I can see.

Sneak Attack: 26 Damage: 49
Offhand Attack: 29 Damage: 4

Spending a luck point to help increase the 13: 17

If a 13 hits, i'll take it. If not i'll save my 2 remaining lucks points for later.

Those will hit an ogre ;) Two bold land squarely into the behemoth's face, dropping it like a sack of dead cows.

Taliesin is up for the first actual round!

I will attempt to eldritch blast the dragon again 20 25 16 16

For my bonus action I will give whoever it was that threw the javelin some bardic inspiration (d8)

then Ill hide back in the portal thing. 

You are a champion, my friend
You'll keep on tryin' till the end
You are a champion
Cuz you are a champion
No time for bad rolls
Cuz you are a champion, of the world.

The crackling beams sink harmlessly into Solomon's Wall of Force.

(Would you like to redirect those?)
