Binder's Hold and the Problem with the Mine.

Initiatives rolled so far:

Vanja              20

Guile               19

Creature         11

Bridgette         8

Ravager's initiative:

23

Bridgette and Ravager hear a voice going past them, distorted by the water, "Quick to the surface! It is nearly impossible to kill underwater!" They notice a rope trailing away from the creature's leg and being pulled by something they can not see!

Meanwhile on shore, Gema vomits bile onto Kumiko, which in turn causes her to bend over spewing her guts out.

At the same time, Arnel pops out of the water like a seal, dragging a rope behind him.  He yells out, "Quick all of you grab hold and pull! We got a big one at the end of the rope and we need to kill it before it thinks about summoning sharks."

The elf starts pulling in slack and tosses one end to Zelgius.

Initiative:          

Vanja              20

Guile               19

Ravager          18

Creature         11

Bridgette         8

Aegnor            8  (same time as Bridgette, same dex)

Arnel                7

Zelgius            6

Kumiko            incapacitated

Gema               incapacitated

Aegnor, shadow and Skelly grab on to help pull. 

Vanja readies her crossbow in preparation to shoot at the large creature. 

Ravager grabs the rope underwater & starts pulling toward shore, then steps out & keeps pulling from shore.

Guile is intrigued by the appearance of Arnel.  "So is this where you've been hiding out?"  He grabs the rope and pulls, while looking over at Gema and Kumiko to deduce their ailments (Medicine 19)

He peers back into the gloom, "A little light and I could target whatever we're dealing with.  Until then, seems we just pull it closer..."

Gema's has black veins standing out on her neck and she has passed out after retching up her lunch.  Guile recognizes it as Gator Spew, a blood disease common among reptiles and lizardmen.  Her heritage must have made her vulnerable to it.  Another thought crosses Guile's mind.  Kitsune, on the other hand, seems to have just been overwhelmed by the sudden torrent of vomit spewed in her face and is vomiting in reaction.

Zelgius anchors the end of the rope and the group starts pulling with all their might:  Group roll (advantage) (+4): 24/17,  Monster (disadvantage) 14/8

The monster is pulled onto the shore!

Vanja, Guile and Ravager (still in the water 15' away) at up.

Vanja shoots her crossbow, a Goading attack)

Attack: 12 Damage: 10

Extra damage= 8

(When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to goad the target into attacking you. You add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC15). On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on all attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn.)

Ravager keels pulling

Guile briefly lets go of one hand on rope to conjure a flaming sphere to smash into the giant. "Let's see how it likes my Hellflame."

10 fire DC 16 Dex half 

After casting, he grabs the rope again to secure against the creature's movement. 

On second thought, Guile keeps one hand free in case he needs to cast Shield

Vanja Misses the monster.

Monster's DEX Save (Flaming Sphere):  8

The creature roars as the sphere burns it, then uses i's action to attempt to pull itself back into the water.  Contested strength roll (no longer at a disadvantage since it is now on land.): 18 vs group 18 STR  Zelgius + group advantage: 12/13.

It does not succeed at getting back in the water.   If Zelgius does not speak up I'm assuming he's still pulling on the rope to bring it further out of the water another 5-15' on his action.  You can still hold on and still do an action that only requires one hand.  Spells, thrown weapons are allowable but bows, already fired crossbows and two handed missile weapons will not be usable.

Everyone else will get their turn now.

(Is Ravager out of the water yet?)

Ravager: yes she helped pull out the creature

(I thought ravager had cast major armor before we entered the minds but if not she'll cast it now otherwise keep pulling)
