Bugbear who stopped to piss rolls 2  1=Boss, 2=A, 3=B

Lena Dar Initiative: 23

Roll initiative -

Actions:  You have advantage.

You are in the middle west room of the hideout and there are four redband ruffians sitting at the table in the northwest corner of the room surprised.  They are somewhat drunk....

Redband ruffians Initiative rolls.  R-A 14, R-B 13, R-C 13, R-D 6

Lena initiative 23

Matheris initiative 18

Lena can act first...Faith can only tie her initiative  score and both have the same dex so you would be going simultaneously then.

Redbands are surprised the first round and can only do reaction at the end I believe.

Karea initiative: 21

(Are we in two different conflicts in two different places, just to check?)

Faith Iniative: 20

 I think everyone can go.  I'll process by initiative order and adjust other actions if needed. 

Quote from Cwreando >>

Karea moves south and gets into some shade and makes their attack with advantage.

3 bugbears moving towards the forest where Klarg's hideout was.  Biding his time, he spots one who stops to piss that is 120 ft from the others.

Initiative for Karea:

Bugbear initiatives

Bugbear Boss 17 , Bugbear A 12, Bugbear B 21

 

 Karea  Initiative 23

Bugbear B initiative 21

Bugbear Boss initiative 17

Bugbear A initiative 12

Karea's Action:  You have advantage, invisibility, and surprise on Bugbear A.  You are 30 ft from Bugbear A.  You are 120 ft from the other two Bugbears north of you.

Against the Redbrands in the room, Lena likens their predicament to fish in a barrel. Her willingness to be merciful exhausted by the sins she has already seen here, and the complicit behaviour of any other Redbrands is proof enough of their guilt to her. She leads their trio into the room with her crossbow chiming as the string hums a melody from the speed of her reloads and shots.

If she sees a darkened corner of the room, by the door, she will make for it, otherwise she retreats into the corridor allowing Matheris and Faith to get into the room past her.

Attacks in order, moving around the room, closest Rebdrand first, move on once dead. I'll roll everything with sharpshooter, but if she can clearly see that one is near death, she will shoot normally (+5 to hit, -10 damage) just to ensure the hit.

Action - Attack | To hit (with adv): 11 | Damage: 14

Action - Extra Attack | To hit (with adv): 19 | Damage: 18

Action - Dread Ambusher Attack | To hit (with adv): 23(crit) | Damage: 33 (Actual max Damage...)

Bonus Action - XBE Attack | To hit (with adv): 20 | Damage: 18

Faith follows Lena into the room, eyes struggling only briefly to comprehend the confusion of her flurry of attacks. He sees her approach.

He attacks the Redbrand Ruffian closest to him that Lena has not attacked. Trying to create a blitz of force that leaves them on the back foot and struggling to know which of them is yet to be attacked. 

Once the fiery Eldritch Blasts of his magic have been fired forth, he steps to the side of the door, looking for any cover he can duck behind  

Attack roll 1 (Adv): 25,  DR: 7 force + 3 fire

Attack roll 2 (Adv): 27 DR: 6 force  

Lena moves in and 3 of 4 bolts hit killing the ruffians in one shot each.  A blur of movement with precision as she shook off the initial miss refocusing her skills to an art.  The three Redband ruffians slump over as Faith moves in and blast the last remaining Redband pummeling them to death as they sat in disbelief of their circumstances only somewhat aware of their fate.

Matheris goes in, "Well, you two didn't leave me much to take care of now did ya."  Smirking as he sees he's not needed. 

The wealth in the room is all on the table, having been bet in the game. The total amounts to 75 cp, 55 sp, 22 ep, 15 gp, and a gold earring set with a tiny ruby (30 gp).

XP 150 each

Actions:

Faith says a prayer under his breath for the souls of the gamblers before him.

He wont be so crass as to suggest they play for the prize pot. He can’t help but think it though. 

I'm confused. Where is Karea? 

The bugbears had left the hideout to go see what happened to the Bugbear Klarg in the first hideout we cleared.  You said you'd go take them out.

So, I had you track the Bugbears through the forest and setup an encounter.   Mosk is the bugbear leader Boss with 2 other bugbears.  One stopped to relieve themselves and you have the advantage, invisibility and surprise 30 ft away.  The other bugbears are north of you by 120 ft.

You can ignore this if you so choose, and I can keep you at the hideout with the other's if you wish.

Your action:  

Karea hunter's marks the trailing bugbear, then, staying hidden and not starting combat until she's ready, tries to take out the bugbear before it has a chance to alert the others. She should get two consecutive turns once she triggers combat, due to surprise. She invisibly closes to melee range, then lashes out with her rapier and fists. She circles around the bugbear, knowing that that should prevent it from being able to even correctly target her with an attack, if it survives her barrage. 

Attack: 22 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. 

Attack: 23 Damage: 10 

2 (+ 1 if first hit is crit) sneak attack damage added to an above attack. 

Attack: 27 Damage: 13

Attack: 12 Damage: 16 (second d6 is sneak attack) 

Attack: 18 Damage: 8

41 damage should fell that bugbear, right? Can I keep the other attack and damage rolls for against the next bugbears, or do I lose them? 

Regardless, Karea moves forward, transferring hunter's mark and preparing to attack the boss. 

Karea masterfully kills the bugbear in the first two attacks and doesn't even strike the last ones as she moves to blend into a shadow.  As you close the range to the others using the shadows of the forest.  They begin to wonder where the other one is.  They turn to see it slumped to the ground.  

You are invisible, you have surprise.

Karea Init 23:

Bugbear B initiative 21 surprised though 

Bugbear Boss initiative 17 surprised though

Karea Actions:

Karea strikes at the bugbear boss in a 12 second flurry of surprise attacks. 

Attack: 17 Damage: 10 (Already rolled) 

Attack: 27 Damage: 22 (Attack rolled, damage was for unarmed strike, rather than gloom stalker boosted rapier) 

Attack: 23 Damage: 13 

Round 2 

Attack: 20 Damage: 11 

Attack: 23 Damage: 11 

She circles around the two bugbears, changing positions after landing strikes. (If the chief dies, she transfers hunter's mark to the second bugbear rather than make an unarmed strike in the second round)

Karea again successfully takes advantage of her stealth in the shadows and kills the boss with the first two attacks.  Leaving the last one which falls just as quickly.

Mosk carries a belt pouch containing 33 sp and wears an eye patch made of black leather set with semiprecious stones (50 gp). He also has an iron key that locks and unlocks all the doors in the Redbrand hideout.  There is a map of Cragmaw hideout you already sacked.  

XP for the bugbears was given when you were able to get them to leave.  You just didn't get the loot.

Karea makes her way back to the hideout.

Actions:

For Lena, Faith and Matheris:

There is a door to the north of the room.
