Sea of Death Campaign Thread

Sae's initiative 21

Quote from OisinmacCameron >>

After warning Emrys of the unnaturally lively corpses, Sae had slipped aside to the shadowier right hand side of the cave and breezed by as the unnatural stirring movement they were making rolled them away from her a moment.  Now she realizes it is because they were preparing to ambush Yevelda, Emrys and Wade!  With a fluid twist of her body she turns and launches herself almost wavelessly at the nearest dragon.  As she does, she looks at her dagger, then the moldering corpse.  "No damn use wasting the venom on you.," she mutters.  Instead she draws the ordinary rapier she wielded before claiming the one Areleo found in the sinking ship, and thrusts at the creature with both blades fully extended to take advantage of her momentum.

=========

[Tooltip Not Found] attack {charge not activated: 20; damage if successful 6 

BA: Rapier attack: 15; damage if successful 8 (bonus damage for DEX not applied as per two weapon fighting rules)

Sneak attack 9 extra damage if any attack hits (both are finesse weapons, but I'm assuming by the text the sneak attack damage only applies to one attack

 (edited for continuity)

Sayyida Initiative- 22

Sayyida dropped to the sea floor and once under one of the dead wyrms kicked off, slashing at it....saving her reserves of power for the moment.

Attack: 17 Damage: 10

Attack: 8 Damage: 10

Areleo:17

Wade Init 18

Initiative:
Sae
Wade
Sayyida

Drowned Dragon 1 - 23 damage
Drowned Dragon 2 - 16 damage

Areleo
Emrys
Yevelda

Sae and Sayyida already took their turns (both of whom hit with every attack), so Wade is up!

Wade casts Spirtual Weapon as a BA next to the creature to the right:  Attack: 11 Damage: 6

He also casts a cantrip - Fiebolt Attack: 14 Damage: 15

Both of Wade's attacks miss.

The dragons were caught off guard by the unseen attackers, but they were ready for battle and adapt quickly...

Dragon 1 attacks Sae three times, once with its bite and twice with jagged claws...
Bite: Attack: 16 Damage: 7 (Piercing) + 4 (Necrotic)
Claw 1: Attack: 12 Damage: 9 (Slashing)
Claw 2: Attack: 21 Damage: 5 (Slashing)

The second dragon is similarly caught off-guard by the unseen foe, but by attacking she reveals herself! The dragon attempts to take a bite out of this foe who wounded it... but it also attempts to rake its claws across the barbarian who was its original target!

Bite: Attack (Sayyida): 15 Damage: 12 (Piercing) + 4 (Necrotic)
Claw 1 (Yevelda): Attack: 14 Damage: 7 (Slashing)
Claw 2 (Yevelda): Attack: 21 Damage: 6 (Slashing)

Looks like Sae gets hit all three times by the undead dragons... Sayyida doesn't get hit, and Yevelda gets hit once.

Combat tracker:

Areleo and Emrys are up!

Emrys was about to move when he heard, or at least imagined to have heard, the sound of bubbling water. This turned his eyes in the direction of the corpses, imagining that an attack was sure to come the moment he turned his back. He waited then waited some more. I should get going, he decided as the dragons rose. Only when Arleo, Sayyida, Sae and Wade jumped into action he noticed Yevelda as fixated on the skeletons as himself.

“Shit!” Goldenleaf cursed as his eyes went black. His first impulse was to cast Hex, but the necrotic energy of a curse seemed unlikely to hurt the undead. Instead, he imagined a spectral tentacle cutting through reality itself and between the two enemies. The world complied as the tentacle whipped against the creature closest to Sae. Arcane words echoed through the water as he aimed his focus against the same monster.

Two beam of crackling energy moved against the dragon and not waiting to see if any of them hit, Emrys used all of his speed to get further away the melee, taking cover behind any structure, natural or otherwise, if at all possible. If at least one of the attacks hit then it would be ten feet further from the rogue.

Notes: Emrys keeps getting terrible rolls spends his bonus action to summon the Tentacle of the Deeps and have it miss attack the dragon closest to Sae (11 to hit, damage not even rolled). He then spends his action to cast Eldritch Blast, aiming both beams on the same dragon (25 to hit and 6 Force damage, 12 to hit and damage not even rolled). Upon a hit the dragon is moved 10ft away from Sae because of Repelling Blast. Finally Emrys spends his 40ft swimming speed (Gift of the Sea) to get as far away from the dragons as he can, ducking behind any cover he can find on the way.

Stunned by the quickness of the dead dragon's response to her attack, and unused to the underwater environment, Sae is horrified to feel the creature's bony jaws beginning to close around her!  Her trained reflexes allow her to twist free before the fangs meet in her spine, wincing as what has sunk in rips free, but she is unable to avoid the followup claw strikes.  She tumbles back in a controlled spin, looking for an opportunity to either spring forward with a finishing strike or draw back into the shadows to set up her next attack.

(yer dern tootin' she's taking that Uncanny Dodge LOL)

Areleo will swoop in with a burning slash attack after he rages as a crocodile tail erupts from him.

 Attack: #1 10 #211

Damage: #113 #2 17

Areleo flies into a rage... in his furry, his first wild swing with the red-hot blade goes wide. But his second strike hits true on the disgusting undead dragon!

Yevelda lets out a bubbling bellow as she sees her friends menaced by these creatures! Seeing that the enemies are not one, but TWO undead dragons, she will use Frenzy! To negate the fact that she's at disadvantage for fighting under water without a swim speed, she uses Reckless Attack.

Greataxe attack 1: Attack: 26 Damage: 19
Greateaxe attack 2: Attack: 13 Damage: 14

(She can use bonus action attack next turn)

End of Round 1. Sae, Wade, and Sayyida are up for Round 2!

(How is everyone, health-wise?)

 Sae is looking pretty beat up after getting snacked on by a zombie dragon...

Wade will move toward Sae (avoiding being hit - AOO)

if close enough he will cast Cure Wounds 3rd level on Sae (17 healed)

if not he will cast Guiding Bolt at the left most dragon (Attack: 11 Damage: 10

Either way, Bonus Action strike the right most one with Spiritual Weapon (Attack: 25 Damage: 8)

Taking advantage of the left-hand dragon's distraction as Areleo strikes it (since presumably even the dead find it a little disconcerting to have a fiery crocodile tail slash through their unliving flesh), Sae pivots around the stalactite he is standing by to attack from the more vulnerable side.  If her blows hit, she will deliberately hold the blades in and drag them through the undead flesh in an effort to in her turn distract the creature from Areleo's next attacks.

=========

[Tooltip Not Found], charge not activated: 27 to hit; damage if successful 7

BA: two weapon fighting - rapier: 10 to hit; damage if successful 1

If either attack hits:

• sneak attack damage (Areleo within 5') 7
• martial adept maneuver - distracting strike: "When you hit with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die (d6: 3) to add the total to the damage roll and the next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you has advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn."
