*Okay! I've got no combat spells other than Cause Fear, and I get the feeling that won't affect these guys. Now it's time to act like a real Warlock!!*
He conjures a transparent purple kitchen knife and throws it at the creature in front of him. "Get a life!"
Eldritch Blast: Attack: 25 Damage: 10
Your kitchen knife flys through the air, hitting the creature smack bang on the forehead. It reels back, taking a considerable amount of damage. The dark stuff that it's made of drips from where you hit it, and it seems smaller, shorter than you. It's clearly bloodied.
It's not dead yet though. It charges at you though it's pain, aiming to dig its claws into your shoulders.
Attack: 16
On a hit, you take 2 slashing damage, are knocked prone, and restrained, as the creature digs its claws into you and pins you to the ground.
*It got me!*
A strangled, monstrous growl gushes out of Sam's mouth, as though a leak has sprung in a well of hatred.
*My turn again, or someone else's?*

I want you to know. You are going to lose. You are going to lose badly. You’re going to lose badly and it’s going to be awesome.
Watching from behind the trees, you both see a lot happen. A Troll/Dragonborn creature arrived on the scene, only to immediately be confronted by one of these:
Meanwhile, another one of these creatures has jumped from the trees, and landed on the girl who just arrived. She's completely taken by surprise as it shoves her to the ground, and she only just has time to shove her bow in its beak like mouth to stop it from biting her, it's teeth sinking into the wood.
Despite lacking pupils Yadz's many eyes seem to flick back and forth, from the troll-dragonborn to the girl. He decides the girl is in the most immediate danger. Yadz runs towards her, stick in his hands, and attempts to skewer the creature through the head.
Roll to attack!
*I'm not exactly sure what to add to rolls when I'm attacking with a stick, so I'll just treat it like an unarmed strike*
Attack: 23
Roll damage.
The stick normally does 1d6+your strength mod damage, but as you're coming at this thing with surprise (Forgot to give you advantage to attack lol) you can roll 2d6+strength.
*Your turn. Just you and this monster in this initiative atm*
Wild stabs with another nightmare blade. *I am so glad disadvantage does not stack.*
Attack: 21 Damage: 6
*Lucky disadvantage, and damage is just enough*
After being clawed in the shoulders and shoved to the floor, you lash out with another blade, hitting this things face, which is right next to yours. Your blade slashes through its face, and it lets out a huge screech, dissolving into the air as it drops to 0 hp.

Your stick smashes into this things head, going straight through. The creature is in shock, and let’s go of the girl. She gives it a kick as she shuffles away, and it slowly drops to its knees and dies.
*Nice hit*

Yadz blinks, and the harsh light begins to fade from the dozens of eyes scattered across his body. He offers a hand to the girl to help her up. "Are you alright?", he asks, tone concerned. "What was that thing?"

“That thing…” she looks down at the creatures dissolving body. “I call them Flashes. They’re little horrors, lightning fast, I’ve seen them kill kids like us in seconds.”

His eyebrows furrow slightly, trying to recall if he's ever heard of Triskel. "Don't think I know it. I'm from Tyrren, but it's pretty remote. Maybe we are from the same world, who knows." He shrugs, the beginnings of wings showing under his shirt. "I haven't been here long. You might have to show me the ropes so I don't end up in the stomach of one of those Flashes."

I’ve got a small base about 2 miles west of here, that’s probably the best place for me to get you, and any of your friends that want to come, up to speed.” She smiles, looking at the other two. “I saw the smoke, and thought I might find some allies here. Turns out I might be in luck.”

"Sounds brilliant! I'd be happy to join you there, and I'm sure the others wouldn't say no." He turns to the other two, a questioning look in all of his eyes. "What do you say?"
*Good morning everyone! A little has happened, so I thought I'd do an update post so everyone has somewhere to start.*
On the scene, we have Yadz, Moon, Samson, and a new arrival, a girl with this appearance:
Shortly after Samson arrived, two creatures which had previously been heard up in the trees, jumped down to face Samson and the girl.
Samson was able to defeat one of them, taking minimal damage himself. They seem to be very fast creatures, but Sam got a crit initiative roll, and was able to get the upper hand.
Meanwhile, the girl wasn't doing so well. The other one of the creatures had her pinned down, and it was all she could do to keep it from biting her, shoving her bow in its mouth. But Yadz was quick to react, assessing that the girl was in the most danger and running over to help without hesitation. He struck the creature in the head with his mighty stick, and it went straight through the monsters skull, and out the other side. The monster went into a state of shock, and let the girl go. She then proceeded to kick it, and it dropped to its knees, falling to 0 hit points.
Yadz helped the girl up, and they spoke about what those creatures were and what to do next. The girl said that she's only been here a few days, but she has a base about 2 miles west, and there she could give the rest of you some tips about this world.

Seeing all this go down, Moon was too scared *and Calo was too inactive---sorry* to act immediately. It was something she learned from her dad; stay still and nothing bad would happen to you. And nothing did. But the girl was clearly in trouble, and thank goodness she and the other boy and Yadz weren't hurt badly either as they got rid of the shadowy figures.
Finally, Moon walks towards them, still a little shocked. "Did you get hurt?" She asks, holding out her empty hands in an offering towards the three kids. Though there is nothing in her hands for her to offer up, it's clear she's offering to heal anyone that needs it. "That was scary."

She gestures to the west. "But only if you want to of course. You... must be scared. I'm not the best at cheering people up, but I know this place was beyond cruel, bringing someone as young as you here. Maybe I could make you something warm to drink, back at base?"
