Arcana: 18

Amaris frowns a bit suspiciously. She's familiar with wererats and their habits, but she's never met one before. "Wererats, huh?" She murmurs. "So, just to be clear, you're looking for people to heal your colony's wounds only, right? You're not looking for us to take the fight to the Fist, correct?"

Arcana: 18

Amaris frowns a bit suspiciously. She's familiar with wererats and their habits, but she's never met one before. "Wererats, huh?" She murmurs. "So, just to be clear, you're looking for people to heal your colony's wounds only, right? You're not looking for us to take the fight to the Fist, correct?"

"Goodness no!" Svenya throws up her hands. "I hope that we can heal up and get out of our warren. It won't be easy, but it'll be better than sticking around..."

- Ok, Svenya, take us to your warren and I'll do whatever I can to heal your friends. After this you'll do well to find another place to stay, since the fists already know where you are. One question though: did you defeat them all? They wouldn't have left anyone alive otherwise.

 (My Arcana roll was 5)

"I'm starting to dislike where this is going, but I gave my word that I would help so I will help. Let's hope to not cross blades with the Fist." says Erevan to Svenya.
"Of our group, only Caemlyn is capable of healing. I can properly dress a wound, but my expertise lies in a different field".
The elf's posture doesn't relax, he is expecting trouble along the way. "Did you fight the Fist in your warren?" asks Erevan as he prepares to follow the girl into the sewers.
The elf pauses for a moment and whispers to Amaris and Caemlyn "I have a bad feeling about this, let's be prepared for anything."

(My History roll was 12) 

(I am adding her stats to the front page soon (tm), but I will put them here and in the thread for now.)

Svenya has joined! Unless otherwise directed, she will run up to enemies and attack with her shortswords. You will not be able to (easily) convince her to share the wererat curse.

"T-Thanks! You won't regret it, I promise." Svenya opens up the sewer mouth and climbs in. "Oh, close the gate behind you. Don't want anyone to fall in."

Once you reach the bottom, she takes a few steps forward. "Okay, so, I don't know what you know about sewers, but watch out for-"

Right as she is about to warn you about them, a swarm of stirges swoops in!

"That checks out..." She sighs.

Roll for initiative! Which, remember, is a d4! (EDIT: Add your mod to the d4!) There is a map on Owlbear for your viewing pleasure: https://www.owlbear.rodeo/room/qBtO9DjD5JrG/Baldur'sGateMysteries

PS: these stirges are minions which will die in 1 hit or when they fail any saving throws for damage. They do have more than 1 hit point for the purposes of things like the sleep spell. 

You can overkill minions. How it works: the stirges have 4 HP. If you deal 4 damage, you kill 1 stirge. If you deal 5 damage, you kill 2 stirges. If you deal 8 damage, you kill 2 stirges. If you deal 9 damage, you kill 3 stirges. I hope this makes sense! Melee can kill any minions adjacent to each other, while any ranged attack only hits additional targets if they are in a line. Spells with AOE are save or suck, if they are hit in a damaging AOE they just die, if they save a damaging AOE, they just live even if saving gives half dmg.

Minions do a lot of tiny damage, being surrounded will not instantly kill you, I promise!

(I'll add these rules to the front when I get a chance (tm).)

Svenya init: 6

Stirge minions: 5

- Ewwwwwwwww, I hate these creatures!! Shoo, shoo! - Cammy yelps - I got stang in the face by one of these as a child and the mark lasted for weeks!

Initiative: 4 (do we add the intiative modifier? If we have to, then it is a 7)

(Oh sorry, yes, you add your mod!)

(Overkill is a very cool minions rule. Gonna have to remember that one.)

initiative: 9 

As the swarm of stirges swoops in towards the group, Erevan draws his sword in a fuild motion, preparing himself to dispatch the flying menace. He holds the sword in a two-handed grip, with the blade held high and parallel to the ground. "We will take care of them, Cammy."

Initiative: 4

(I saw the rolls before they disappeared. It's Svenya's 8 and their 4, I think, so basically all of you go first. Svenya is planning to move forward and slash the two ahead of her if she can! I'll let you all make the first actual moves.)

(I totally forgot the d4 rule, sorry.)

ACTUAL initiative: 2

(okay, so you are going dead last LOL)

Caemlyn touches the medallion of Tymora she usually has hidden underneath her clothes, and with a sudden flash that turn her light gray eyes to golden, she waves a hand at the stirge right in front of her:

- Burn in my Lady's radiance, bug!

(She will use Sacred flame. DC DEX 13 or suffer 4 points of radiant damage)

Seeing that Caemlyn seems to have the situation under control, Erevan rapidly dashes past her towards Amaris, swinging his elven sword in an upward slash aimed at the stirge's midsection.

(Erevan moves towards Amaris passing through Caemlyn's square in order to not leave the melee range of the stirge in front of Caemlyn)

Attack: 23 Damage: 7 on the stirge in front of Amaris

Amaris 2 (AC 11)

Svenya runs ahead and manages to slay two of the stirges as Cammy burns a stirge to death and Erevan eviscerates another. The annoying little bat-like creatures swoop in and attempt to attach and bite onto Svenya, Caemlyn, and Erevan! ... but ultimately fail.

Amaris is up next!

(PS, you guys can take your turns out of order as a reminder.)

Amaris recoils back at the sight of the Stirges. "Ew! Gross! Get away, get away!" She yells as she pulls out her spellbook in a single fluid motion. The tome unclasps and a glow of magic cascades off the page and into the fingers of her right hand. As she splays them, three darts of magical force bombard the stirges attacking her companions, one dart for each stirge.

(Casting magic missile! Dart 1: 2, Dart 2: 4, Dart 3: 3)
