Saoirse curses loudly. She should have judged the situation better. She should have attacked directly. But it was too late, and now the firbolg had grappled her. But this did not stop the genasi from trying to hit the man back.
Rapier to hit: 22. Damage: 9 + 3 (lightning, from the Crimson Rite).
Rite activation damage: 1.
I've done a charisma save for the Bane and got an 18. Still, if I don't pass it, I would substract a 2 from my attack.

Hemlock maintains his focus on the leader, still sparkling with starlight, and spotting even from this distance away him draw a knife and apply something to it.
He once again reaches into the power within his star map and sends another radiant blast his way. This time he doubles down and draws further into the power of the star map, his body starting to glow with the constellation of the archer.
He once again reaches out and this time sends an arrow made of starlight streaking across the distance to the leader.
He stands as a starry beacon.
Action: Guiding Bolt using star map at leader (Vizzini) - To Hit (advantage due to previous guiding bolt): (18,
15)+6=24, Damage: 4+1+3+4 = 12 [radiant]Bonus Action: Take Starry Form (Archer) and attack leader with Luminous Arrow (advantage due to guiding bolt) above): To Hit: (
3,7)+6=13, Damage: 2+4=6 [radiant](OOC: Please roll concentration save for Bane - twice if by some miracle both hit :-) )
Felix, the brutal firbolg, grunts in response to being pricked by the rapier now humming with electricity. Still, the slice and shock that would have laid a normal person low seems to barely phase him
Vince (for that is the leader's name) visibly reels back from the force of the guiding bolt, but is quick to duck under the starlit arrow that follows it. The haunting tone continues to echo in your ears, as he sustains his magic.
Eliza continues to struggle against her bindings, but can not get free. "My book! Please! Give me my spellbook!"
Fitz2 moves out from behind the tree, and a spear with a glowing point appears in his mechanical hand as he arcs it forwards into a throw towards the Felix, but it flies wide and does not hit the firbolg. When it would hit the ground, it warps in the air and reappears in Fitz2's hand.
Ali fires his bow again, this time cutting through Eliza's ropes to free her. He looks away as she lifts her robe back over her shoulders. "Earn your freedom!"
Ignacio the swordsman stabs into Lam's abdomen twice quickly, as the bugbear still struggles to catch the wind that had been knocked out of him.
To hit 22 , dmg 9 , 13 , dmg 10 , half damage because it's slashing and you're in a rage.
Felix squeezes Saoirse's arm painfully in his hand, and his free arm swings back and forth, first punching her arm with the clear intent of knocking her sword out of her grip, and then aiming for her head.
4 damage for still being grappled by a fighter with unarmed combat style.
Disarming strike: 27 to hit, 19 damage, DC 16 to hold on to your rapier
Extra attack: 16 to hit, 13 damage.
Ali, Swordsman, Giant, Sha, Leader, Saoirse, Hemlock, Lam, Eliza, Fitz2
(Edit coming soon with rolls and damage).
DM: Heavy is the Head
Sha swings again 23 damage 9
Ever wonder what it would be like to be a bear?
Vince stabs at Lam with the poisoned dagger, and then moves to put a tree trunk between himself and Hemlock's shining fury.
16 to hit, 5 slashing damage. Lam, roll a DC14 con save or you are poisoned and take an addtional 4 poison damage now; and repeat the saving throw at the end of your next 10 turns.
DM: Heavy is the Head
Lam gets an AoO on Vince if he wants to take it, but first see if you're poisoned, and remember to subtract 1d4 from bane.
It is Saoirse's turn.
Ali, Swordsman, Giant, Sha, Leader, Saoirse, Hemlock, Lam, Eliza, Fitz2

DM: Heavy is the Head
Lam is quickly overwhelmed by the amount of blows coming his way, and swings wildly with his greataxe at anything around him, roaring like an animal caught in a trap.
Lam is poisoned, and down to 3 hp.
He takes an attack of opportunity at disadvantage, with bane. 12 to hit, 16 damage.
Saoirse sees the attacks on Lam with increased worry, but there's nothing she can do for her friend. If she could be free from the grapple and go help the bugbear, the giant will surely end her. It is highly probable that he'll end her either way. But at least...she can try to hurt him further.
Rapier attack: 17. Damage 5 + 1 lightning.
Dagger attack: 16. Damage: 8. If this attack has missed then I will reroll it with inspiration. Got a 25.

Hemlock sees the small one scurry behind the tree trunk behind him, and moves forward to try and around the other side. His pursuit is relentless, and as soon as he spots his adversary, he lets loose another radiant blast at him, followed by another luminous arrow.
He spots his allies taking some hits, but hopes without their leader their other adversaries might be more willing to surrender.
Movement: 30 feet North West until Vince comes into view
Action: Guiding Bolt Vince - To Hit: 11+6=17, Damage: 5+3+4+6 = 18 [radiant] - if hits grants advantage to next attack
Bonus Action: Attack Vince with Luminous Arrow: To Hit: 7+6=13, Damage: 8+4=12 [radiant] - advantage if guiding bolt actually hit makes no difference
(OOC: Please roll concentration save for Bane - twice if by some miracle both hit :-) )
Vince manages - just barely - to jerk back behind the tree trunk as the first bolt of light streaks towards him, and keeps wide away from the second. But he is still angry and hurt from Hemlock's previous attack - not used to people with the gall to attack him directly. "Felix, finish up with the girl and deal with your savage cousin. Show him what a Firbolg can do if they actually apply their bulk and learn to fight, instead of hiding in the trees. Ignacío, gut the brute and go deal with the kitty-cat. I'll see about knocking the vermin out of the tree."
DM: Heavy is the Head
Lam cannot hear over the sound of his own roaring, and he cannot see past the red in his eyes. He feels a frustration he hasn’t felt in a very long time- these enemies are smarter and faster than him, and his brute strength has already been almost entirely overwhelmed. Nearly everything in him wants to attack the swordsman in front of him with everything he’s got. The sound of his friends fighting and getting hurt puts a different thought in the back of his head, which is that it would do none of his friends good if he went down to the swordsman now. If only he was near the Firbolg, protecting his friends! But as he isn’t, he scans the battlefield for a different way to help. His eyes are drawn to the illuminated form of the other Firbolg on the battlefield, his friend- and then he remembers something else that was shouted just a few seconds ago- a way he can help, though it’s risky.
Huffing and puffing, but still swiftly, he shambles past the swordsman and pushes him aside just enough to point his sword the other way. He makes his way to Hemlock, who can see in his eyes a struggle to remain conscious and a desperation to save a battle he thinks is lost- and with it, a willingness to take a gamble. If Lam can find the spellbook and Hemlock does not prevent him from it, he takes it and makes his way over to Eliza. He stares daggers at her as he hands over the book, hoping against hope that she might be smart about who she aligns with this time.
Is it maybe bad to lose my last rage, and to not attack this turn? Absolutely. But Ignacio isn’t going down this turn no matter what (and with all these conditions, it’s unlikely he’ll even be hit), so I want to try something a bit riskier.
Bonus action: End the rage.
Action and movement: Disengage from Ignacio, then go directly between Eliza and Ignacio straight towards Hemlock. (If Eliza actually takes an opportunity attack on me, then… I will want to finish my turn differently than this.)
Free action and extra action: Take Eliza’s spellbook from Hemlock and dash to bring it to Eliza. I’d like to end between 5 and 10 feet from Ignacio above him, and right next to Eliza, if possible. I’m also willing to throw it from near Hemlock instead as the extra action, and roll whatever is needed for this (baned and poisoned).
"Thank you. Thank you so much. I can't go back to them. I WON'T GO BACK WITH YOU! Ignacío, look who's back! 歸來，過去的惡魔。" Eliza shouts furiously, then turns to Ignacío and her eyes glow momentarily a deep purple as she points just over his shoulder. Ignacío whirls around, his focus completely taken by something only he can see.
Fitz2 runs out to get an angle on Felix, and focuses his energy. A lash of blue energy swings from his chest, and large stone suddenly flies up from the ground and whips towards Felix's head, though the firbolg moves out of the way just before he would have been struck. The stone shatters some of the branches of a small tree beyond. In that same moment, Fitz2 suddenly disappears in a puff of mist, and reappears next to Ali on his tree branch. If you had been looking at him at the right moment, you would see his mechanical eyebrows jump upwards in surprise.
Cast catapult. Felix successfully dodges. Then, Wild Magic Surge and a teleportation.
Ali fires his bow at Vince, the arrow glowing green. This time, the arrow strikes true. It sticks out of the shoulder of Vince's cloak, and there is a grunt of pain. The small man is, however, able to twist and roll away from the vines that reach up from the earth to entangle him.
8 piercing damage, succesfull Dex save against ensnaring strike
Ignacío's blade whirs in the open air, stopping suddenly as if it had been blocked by an enemy's sword. "¡Eres tú! Mataste a mi padre. Prepárate para morir." He jerks neck and winces, his free hand going to his face as if the old scar on it had just been cut open again.
Elvish: "It's you! You killed my father, prepare to die."
Failed intelligence roll. 5 psychic damage from phantasmal force
Felix' fist crashes into Saoirse once more, and then he attempts to swing her by the arm and use her as an improvised weapon against Sha-Gravis. Hit or miss, he drops her there. "Stop stabbing me!" Then he runs towards Hemlock, potentially taking AoO from Sha and Saoirse.
To hit 16, 11 damage, then 6 to hit Sha-Gravis. If Saoirse is still conscious, she can roll a dex save to avoid hitting Sha (DC13) or even to use the momentum to break free of Felix's grip (DC16). On a hit (only happens if Saoirse fails the dex save and Felix rolls above Sha's AC), Sha and Saoirse both take 9 damage. That's an auto-fail on a death save, if Saoirse is already down.
It is Sha-Gravis' turn.
Initiative: Ali, Swordsman, Giant, Sha, Leader, Saoirse, Hemlock, Lam, Eliza, Fitz2
DM: Heavy is the Head
Saoirse can't stand Felix's onslaught anymore and falls limply on the ground. Her fiery features seem to loose part of their glow as she lies unconscious.

Sha feeling desparate at the sight of Saoirse, swings Alptraum once again 19 damage 4.
Ever wonder what it would be like to be a bear?
"Inconcievable! I'll get you all for this. Check every shadow twice, and still, the rogues' guild will hunt you down. A dagger in your back when you least expect it. Especially you, Eliza. You will never be free from fear, until you come back to me." Vince runs over to Ignacio and grabs him, and a ring on Vince's right hand begins to glow, more and more brightly, until Vince and Ignacio seem to be consumed by the light as it winks out. Just before they disappear, you can hear him shouting "no, I'm not interrupting your vengeance. She tricked you, Nimrod. FELIX, USE YOUR RING! BACK TO THE BASE!
Move to Ignacio, use magic ring to cast word of recall
it is Saoirse's turn - for a death saving throw. Then Hemlock,

"Your master is calling a retreat, best you run along", Hemlock says as he spots Saoirse has fallen and how injured Lam is. His focus is now on helping his friends, and for that to happen, his fellow Firbolg needs to be gone. Still glowing with starlight, he circles around his larger kin to interpose himself between them and his friends, and then speaks a word in druidic, sending healing energy into Saoirse.
He then prepares for the possible attack to come.
Movement: Circle around Felix
Bonus Action: Healing Word on Saoirse: 4+4=8
Action: Dodge
Lam is still in battle mode, and whirls around to face the Firbolg who hurt Saoirse so badly. He charges almost the whole way to the enemy, then he notices Hemlock’s defensive stance and realizes that his friend is deliberately putting himself in between the other Firbolg and everyone else. He ends up right behind Hemlock and huffs but adopts a defensive stance of his own, trying to back up Hemlock’s words but ready to turn back into battle mode if this Firbolg decides to attack Hemlock or anyone else.
Movement: Towards Felix, but ending up behind Hemlock. If it’s possible, I’d like to make it really hard for Felix to go to anyone except Hemlock or Lam without triggering an opportunity attack.
Action: Dodge.
Eliza shrieks again, and three bolts of energy whip around Lam and Hemlock to slam into Felix, who turns to face her, Hemlock, and Lam. "He's a monster, Felix. You know that, right?"
Felix's arms ripple, as his muscles tense in frustration, pain, and fury. He takes a half step towards Lam, raising his arm, then stops and grunts. "He saved me. Taught me who to be, gave me a family... I know, Eliza... but" - The firbolg's words are cut off, as his ring activates, flashing him away in a brilliant light.
After a few moments of silence, a faltering, monotonous voice comes from the tree branch above Eliza. "I. Am. Unsure. Of My. Ability to. Get down. From here." Ali gracefully flips out of the tree, and places a clawed hand on Eliza's shoulder. "Your past seems unpleasant. You are not alone in this, traitor." There is a smirk of superiority as he says "traitor," as if trying to avoid being judgemental, while also secure in the knowledge that his own honor is intact. His idea of a joke.
You are out of initaitive.
DM: Heavy is the Head
Seeing the one Eliza called Felix disappear, Hemlock takes a deep breath, and allows his starry form to fade. He looks around at everyone making sure they are all ok.
"Saoirse, are you ok?", he says moving over to her side quickly and ignoring the others for now.
