The Guild - Game Thread

Gendan stays near Val, her shield is up towards the broken door and her fingers flicker with purple energy as she hears the clattering around the corner. 

Alerted to danger by her companions actions, Runt readies her massive hammer, ready to crack some skulls.

Val rushes to the door, changing form as he goes he claps his hands close to the door...

Val, what level spell slot are you using to cast Thunderwave?

(2nd lvl we need as much energy as we can muster)

Damage to the door: 13

Val gets right next to the door and claps his hands together. A thunderous boom echoes through the halls and the door slams shut; creaking and cracking as top rusted layer of the metal door cracks at the sudden jolt. The loud slam of the door and the sound of thunder bounces of the walls and disappears into the darkness.

The spider problem is solved. As you (mostly Val) breathe a sigh of relief you hear the same deep rat sounds. There's more than one of whatever it is that's making that sound. And to top it all off, the sound's getting louder and louder.

Roll Initiative.

Currently, you can't see your enemy and don't even know where they are (the echos make it hard to pin point their direction). The only thing you do know is that they're heading in your direction.

"That was close" said the druid with relief " But I am afraid that the rest of the creatures had heard us " he says to the others.

( 21 for Initiative  )

Runt grins in anticipation. Her initiative is 17

Gendan's stolen Initiative roll: 7
Elsara's Initiative: 4

Player Phase!

I have rolled enemy initiative off screen. I will listed the rolled numbers here as enemies become visible. Why? To simulate the "Fog of War" effect seen in Fire Emblem games.

What will Runt, Gendan and Val do?

Also happy new year everyone.

Happy new year! 

Val will notch an arrow on his bow and fire at any hostile that coms towards them

Runt will have to wait for a foe to come to her. She doesn't see so well in the dark. She stands ready to defend herself and her allys.

Hold attack for when an enemy comes in range.

(Hey all, finally back from visiting people etc. and got reliable internet again. Will be posting sporadically until about Monday/Tuesday.)

(Also, happy new year all! Damn, that nat 1 initiative though...)

(Happy New Year! Sorry, I thought I had submitted an initiative roll.)

Gendan readies an eldritch blast for the first enemy that comes into view, and positions herself about 30 feet from the doorway.

Noted. Now that Poke's back. What will Elsara do on her turn?

(Totally though everything would get to act before me, so was waiting for a monster's turn post.)

Elsara, squeaming slightly at the thought of giant rats,steps towards the front of the group and draws Riley's Spirit, her scimitar, while ready to attack should a monster of some kind attack them (and come within her weapon's reach).

(Spoiler for use if readied attack goes off.)

(You thought right. The monsters did act but fog of war so you guys don't know that)

Normally you wouldn't be able to see this thanks to darkness and the hall being longer than your darkvision, but thanks to the illuminated rock Briggs threw down the hole back at the three way intersection, you see what looks to be a half-man, half-rat creature in leather Hide armor, wielding a shield and a pike step around the corner from the north passage.

Val immediately shoots it with an arrow and Gendan blasts it with an Eldritch Blast.

Val's Readied Action Roll: 16 Dmg: 6

The narrow  hall makes it impossible for the four Guild Members to stand side by side. Val attempts to weave an arrow between Gendan and the wall but it flies wide and hits the wall.

Launches a beam of unholy energy at the ratman. The creature swiftly dodges, the attack grazes his armor, leaving nothing more than a scratch mark.

Val and Runt's Turn.

Initiative:

Ratman : 21
Val: 21
Runt 17
Gendan 7
Elsara 4

I will edit this post as more monsters appear.

The elf fires antoher arrow at the creature

Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

(Okay while checking my notes, it seems that I made a mistake because I was in a hurry. The creature is wearing Hide Armor not Leather Armor)

The creature quickly raises his shield and blocks the attack.

DM: Val, due to the narrowness of the hall the creature has +2 AC thanks to cover because Gendan, Runt and Elsara are in the way.

Runt's Turn.

Runt would like to grab the ratman and drag him out of the tunnel into the more open area.

Runt, the only open space is back at the intersection where the Ratman came from. Also, he is too far away from you. At his current location (if he doesn't move) you would need to dash this turn and your next to get to melee range of him. Will you still move toward the Ratman?
