Khessa's Initiative: 21

[Oh right! Thanks for the reminder. One day I'll remember Alert exists..  LOL! You can roll for your crew's initiatives too, or I can. It's your preference! The 3 drow with shortswords are within 30ft. The 2 other drow are further away, at about 70 ft. I'll post more in a couple hours, just wanted to make sure I answered your questions!]

[Oh, ok, thank you!]

(OOC: Did you change your mind, I see... the field became less open)

Khessa assesses the situation and quickly whispers: "Clara, try to block or hinder the two on the left. So in the meantime we try to eliminate the one on the right before he gets help".

Clara takes two steps (1 NE, 1 N - so to place herself 1N from Khessa) and casts Entangle affecting the 20' square area whose diagonal goes from the square 2 N from her new position to the one 5N 3W from her. That terrain becomes difficult terrain, plus drow 1 and 2 must make a strength save (DC 13 I think?) or get restrained. Anyway, Clara then takes another step 1 W, to place herself in a more sheltered position.

Drow 1 is up!

Drow 1 and 2 saving throw vs DC 13 (you got it right!)

Note: Khessa and Aster are up next. You had a very strategic turn, so it took me about 2 weeks to figure out how to thwart your plans!! [ahh I am sorry, lots of IRL stuff that doesn't even involve illness happening. Which I guess... good? I am not sick at least lol]

----

Clara's entanglement grasps at the drow warriors, attempting to ensnare them and bind them to the very ground! One managed to cut herself loose before the vines could grab her, while the other woman had vines throwing themselves around her chest, waist, and arms, trying to drag her down. The drow snarls with fury as she uses every ounce of her strength to pull free. She leaps from the strangling plants and runs towards Song, brandishing her shortsword as a promise of violence.

[Lol!

And thwart you did! That weeks have been well spent... you finally realized that I hoped the two drow to get entangled for a while... and so you had them save instead! Very clever indeed! But I'm far from finished! 😉

I know that real life happens; I too, more often than one would believe, have real life issues to cope with - if I manage to post practically every day anyway it is only because I have a good degree of freedom in organizing my work, duties or commitments. Really glad you are not sick this time! I still hope that 'stuff' you write of is nothing serious; while it's hard to get an idea of someone based on remote interaction, you strike me as a very good person... we probably would have become friends if we'd met in person! But we're quite distant. Anyway, I wish you well!

Crew turns incoming...]

Khessa points to the companions the drow who, making his way with effort through the magical vegetation created by Clara's magic, has almost managed to reach them: "He has isolated himself from the others! Focus on him and take him out!"

She does not need to tell this twice to Aster, who leaps at the drow, rapier in hand, trying to skewer him.

(OOC: Aster takes one step north and one north-east, finishing in front of Drow1 then attacks him)

Aster's Rapier Attack: 22 Damage: 11

'And now, let's make the same 'mistake' as that drow...' thinks Khessa, drinking one of the potions she found during her ordeal in the Underdark 'and offer myself as a 'target who foolishly isolated himself from the others' - I am the best protected ... I want to try to attract them to me. So maybe I'll make them a nice surprise later...'

The blonde arcane warrior then maneuvers to move to the opposite side, with respect to Aster, of the drow to be eliminated and exhorts the enemies: "Come on! Come and get to know the edge of Cabbage Patch Avenger!" and she raises the greatsword high as she names it, before forcefully lowering it on the unfortunate drow "Or the spiders you love so much have eaten your legs, as well as your brain!?"

[OOC: Khessa drinks her Potion of Heroism - grants, for 1 hour, 10 temporary hp and the benefits of bless without concentration needed (whenever she makes an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends, she can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack roll or saving throw), then she takes 2 steps north and 1 north-east, then she uses Action Surge to get another action and with that action she attacks Drow1 with Cabbage Patch Avenger]

Khessa's Cabbage Patch Avenger Attack (with bless): 15 Damage: 11 (Slashing)

Lots of drow up now, starting with Drow2, not entangled but still in difficult terrain

Initiative Order:
Clara 
Drow 1 
Khessa 
Aster 
Drow 2  <---------------------------------------------------
Drow 3 
Drow Assassin (Blue)
Drow Spellcaster (Purple)
Song 

[I will make multiple posts too, I think it will help convey the action like your posts did!]

Drow 2's turn:

Without as many options due to her limited movement, the other drow woman to have been caught in the leafy area targets the only one she can reach -- Khessa. She swings her shortsword at the blond woman!

Attack: 17 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

Drow 3's Turn:

Unable to approach the druid, which is clearly the one these drow women would like to kill, this woman settles for Khessa as well.

Attack: 24 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
