Initiative 18

Initiative 1

glad that’s out of the way...

Initiative: 3.

Initiative: 8

Elsara moves forward and casts frostbite on Orc1. Save: 14 (DC13 CON) for 4 Frost Damage.

 Orc3 moves back and using the height of the platform to give himself extra range, he throws his javelin at Elsara.
Hit: 13 Dmg:4

Orc3 then moves closer to Elsara (Aggressive)

Elsara darts forward and causes freezing water to soak Orc1. It does minimal damage but it makes Orc1's hands and feet numb. Just as Elsara finishes casting the spell a javelin is thrown at her head. She tries to dodge as best as she can and the javelin ends up grazing her cheekbones and creates a small cut on her face. A few drops of blood fall to the dirt road.

Runt's turn.

Can Runt reach any of the orcs on this turn ?

No, Runt can't get into Melee range this turn.

Runt will get as close as she can and take the dodge action.

(Will go into description next post) Runt moves and dodges. Orc1 (1) Tries to quickly descend the slope. Athletics: 11 (Adv: 20). Also forgot to roll this for Orc3's turn: 4

Javelin toss at Elsara: 7 Dmg: 3 (Dis: 10)

Orc4 (4) Also tries to quickly descend the slope. Athletics: 13 (Adv:10)

Spear Attack VS Runt: 24 (Dis: 19) Dmg: 7

The Orc1 lets out a savage roar and you can fell a strange but powerful aura around him. He and Orc4 descend the slope at horrifying speed. Orc1 tosses a javelin at Elsara but the numbness induced on his hands due to Elsara's spell, the javelin misses its mark by a wide margin. Orc1 stops near the base of the slope while Orc4 keeps charging. She makes a beeline for Elsara and with the momentum of the charge behind it, launches her javelin. The Javelin would impale the elven bladesinger but Runt, charging while holding her large hammer in a reverse grip, intercepts the speeding javelin and knocks it off it's course with a tap from her hammer's handle. The half-orc warrior of Storm Bringer stands between Orc4 and Elsara.

Val's Turn.

The elf fires his bow towards one of the orcs that are attacking Elsara hpoing to bring him down fast. 

( Arrow against orc4:

Attack: 17 Damage: 12 )

Arrow hits: 6 Dmg due to resistance.  Orc2 (4) Athletics: 11 (Adv: 14) Attacks Elsara: 24 Dmg: 5. Fall Damage - Slope:9 DEX (DC14) for half: 3

Elsara's Frostbite VS Orc2: 4. DC13 CON: 17. Elsara falls back.

Orc4 give Runt a stare down. You can clearly see an unbridled rage and murderous intent in her eyes. Runt's ears pick up the distinct sound of a bow string being pulled back. The Stormchosen steps to the side, giving Val a clear shot. The arrow sticks itself into Orc4's chest. Now angrier than before, the crazed orc woman yanks the now bloodied arrow out of her body and breaks it in her palm.

The Orc2 throws his javelin at Elsara's chest but the elf spell-slinger nimbly jumps up and lets the javelin hit the ground beneath her and quickly raises her hand and causes her assailant to become soaked in chilly ice water. This makes the orc2 mad and he rushes down the slope to attack but the cold induced numbness causes him to lose his footing and roll down the slope. As the orc tumbles, Elsara retreats to the rear and prepares to assist the party with her spells. Before long, the Orc2 finds himself lying at the bottom of the slope staring at the sky, covered in scrapes and bruises and Elsara finds herself at the back of the party.

Devarus and Gendan's Turn.

DM: I know I said that failing the athletics check on the slope won't cause damage but since the orc tried to climb down instead of climbing up, it made more sense to have this happen. If you guys fail the check while climbing up, you will not take fall damage or get knocked prone.

Gendan, looking to employ a new tactic, casts Darkness on herself and charges North and East to the edge of the rocks, until Runt is just at the edge of her darkness. She turns to the party behind her and says from her mobile black abyss, “If you’ve got range, feel free to use me as cover. You won’t be able to see when you’re in here, though, so just play in and out of the edges, or hide behind me.

Gendan moves forward and covers herself in darkness (I'm confused, is Runt supposed to be in Darkness or out of it?)

Devarus' turn.

(Let’s say Runt is barely consumed by the edge. Moving 5ft in the same direction she was going should free her of it, though.)

Alright, position adjusted.

Great, that should at least give Runt cover if 4 goes before her. 

Devarus nearly drops his weapon from the Orcs shout. Cursing but lucky, he gets a grip and tries out the new mechanical marvel of a heavy crossbow. "IcandothisIcandothisIcandothis!" He fires, sending two bolts at Orcs1 and 2. If the shot hits either he taunts, "Yes! Hahah! There is more here for you if you interested!" Then to Elsara he adds, "Hang there. This lot don't seem all that scary with a few bolts in them, yes?" The smile after is forced, but present before he moves over as further back and northward to get at least some cover from the Darkness. 

Bonus Action: Rally on Elsara, expending one superior die and granting her 4 Temp HP(lasts until depleted or next long rest).

Action: Scattershot on Orcs1 and 2.
Orc1 To Hit: 23 For: 4 non-magical piercing damage.
Orc2 To Hit: 19 For: Unable to parse dice roll. non-magical piercing damage.

(Expending another superiority die on 1st Orc to be hit if any for Goading Attack. Target must make a DC 11 Wis Save, or have disadvantage on all attacks not on Devarus.)
(Target also suffers an additional: 6 points of damage.)
