New adventure

As the somewhat battered fiend turned it’s one focusing eye on Akaas, necrotic energy swirled around him but caused no damage.  The villain switched its crawling attacks aged warrior.

Attack: 14 Damage: 6

Attack: 20 Damage: 6

First claw misses but the second hits causing 6 damage.

Johnson attemps to use any available cover (like the column) to hide from the creatures vision before stepping out for another crossbow shot.

stealth: 7 (bonus action)

Attack: 19 Damage: 10

 ooc: rolled with advantage in case stealth worked (probably not). if failed than take the first roll which was the 19+5

OOC: Stealth was unsuccessful but 5 more damage from a hit with the crossbow. Akaas then Thagakh to attack.

The beast speaks to all attacking through there mind, “wez can havez peeeaaaz.  No more painz.”

Waiting for Tyrus at the cellar.

Hearing the creature's plea in his mind, Akaas decides to try to grapple it instead of attacking. He's going to attempt to move behind it and use his staff to hold it from behind in a kind of choke hold.

Here's my straight roll in case it's just strength: 16

If I can use acrobatics, it's +5. If it's athletics, it's only +2.

Wisdom: 9

Stealth (disadvantage for chain mail): 18

Akaas was not strong enough to subdue the monster.

"After Thagakh is finished on you, Thagakh will eat you!"

Greatsword Melee Weapon Attack: 22 Damage: 8 Slashing Damage

Crimsom Rite, Rite of the Storm: 2 Lightning Damage

To Thagakh:  Did you roll with advantage?  If not reroll.

The door opens onto a five-foot-wide landing fifteen feet above a large cellar, with stone steps descending to the floor in two short flights. Another door stands beneath the stairs to the north (right). A large stone cistern occupies the western part of the room, whose walls are lined with kegs and barrels.

This room appears to be a large storage cellar, exactly the sort of thing one might expect to find beneath an old manor. 

The barrels contain salted pork and beef, flour, sugar, apples, and ale. Moving barrels around was handled with a high level of stealth.  Very little noise by your group. 

Cistern. This rectangular reservoir is clean and filled with cold, fresh water. It is 10 feet deep with a rim 2 feet higher than the surrounding floor (so that the bottom of the cistern is 8 feet below the floor). Drain pipes from the roof of the old manor above fill the cistern with water.

Ian has spotted a waterproof satchel hanging from a submerged rope attached along the south wall of the cistern, about 2 feet below the surface of the water. It’s not visible to the other characters. The satchel hidden in the cistern is waterproof and contains a potion of healing, a potion of invisibility, 50 gp, and a clean set of ordinary travel clothing. 

Secret Door. A secret door is located in the southwest corner of the room.

The door straight ahead of you is closed but  Ian thinks he hears sounds of people sleeping in the room.

OOC: There are 3 doors in this room.   One straight ahead with sounds of sleeping, a secret door to the left of the cistern and a door leading up to the right.

Switching to my Morningstar and shield, I prepare to enter the room with the noises.  I will wait for my team to get ready.

"Allow my shield to protect you", Tyrus says, placing himself between his companions and the door.

OOC: When we are ready, Tyrus will rush into the room to attempt surprise and dodge if his allies attack whatever is in the room.

Boghadair enters the cellar with bow and arrow at the ready.  He sets himself up to provide cover fire for Ian when he enters the other room.   Boghadair gives a nod to Ian.

OOC: As soon as Arafiel comments the team will attempt the rush.

I set myself up.slightly behind bog so i can see to cast spells

OOC:  I think that was a short joke, wasnt it?  o.O

OOC: not intentional :) 

This appears to be a storeroom pressed into service as living quarters.  Two double bunks stand against the wall near the door, while barrels and crates fill the southern half of the chamber.  Three Redbrand ruffians are resting in this room. They are completely surprised by Tyrus rushing into the room.  Their weapons are slung on the bead.  They are all at a disadvantage and will not be able to attack for one full round of attacks.  The order of attack will be based upon order entering the room.  Tyrus used his attack by entering the room and causing his disruption.  Ian will attack first , then Boghadair, then Arafiel.  Tyrus will be able to attack after the Redbrands.  The order will continue the same their after.

Ian passes Tyrus while entering the room to smash the first Redbrand in sight.  “You will not escape me!!!”

Attack: 21 Damage: 11

Boghadair shoots his arrow at the nearest Redbrand not engaged in the fight with Ian.

Longbow Ranged Attack: 18; Damage: 8 piercing damage

Arafiel casts ray of frost at another disengaged redband

Attack: 23 Damage: 2
