Chronicles of the Accursed (Group 2)

Hewelathan-Bear DEX save: 11

Tamphalic save: 15; Fire resistance->15dmg

Gorash keeps focussing on the ritual, while Tamphalic casts a chromatic lightning orb: 

To hit 11 for 12+4=16 lightning damage

Selarial uses her Radiant touch ability:
To hit 22 for 22 radiant damage.

Ruby glares at the broken couatl, "May the wicked Smiler torment you and make you weak."  (disadvantage Str checks) It would seem the magic of the firestorm lute and Jodie's company has changed the kobold in a new ways.  The little kobold then hurls two arcane bursts at the broken creature.

Burst 1: Atk 20, Damage 12 force 5 necrotic
Burst 2: Atk 1, Damage 2 force (half of 5 from potent cantrip)

Ruby moves back into Jodie's Cozy hut to check on her friend and happy to see the magic did not penetrate.  "Maybe Ruby will stay close."

Hewelathan-Bear DEX save: 22

Round 1: Hewelathan

Hewelathan-Bear manages to flatten himself on the ground and, covered by his Cloak of Protection, he avoids much of the damage from the fireball.  After Tamphalic and Ruby attempt to blast the creature, Hewelathan-Bear surges forward with a hoarse roar.  He first tries to swipe at the Broken Couatl to knock it down before biting it.

Movement: 35-ft of movement to move to melee with the Broken Couatl, on the opposite side from Hildegard.
Action:  Action: Multiattack against the Broken Couatl (one bite and one with claws)
  Melee Weapon Attack, Claws: 24 Damage: 12 slashing, and on a hit, if the target is a Large or smaller creature, it has the Prone condition.
  Melee Weapon Attack, Bite: 18 (if the target is prone, advantage on melee attacks makes that: Unable to parse dice roll.), Damage: 13 piercing

(OOC: Ugh.  Here's that attack role for the bite with advantage: 17.)  

Nickeline nimbly dodges the hottest parts of the fireball, but in the process loses concentration on her spell of protection. 

OOC:
Dex save: pass —> 15 fire damage
Con save to retain concentration—> fail

Action: Sacred Flame —> Coatl must make a DC 15 Con save or take 12 radiant damage 

Jodie remains focused on the ritual inside the abjuration while registering the pain in the flames of the party outside.  She does not see any of her party fall.  And so she finds a moment to bolster her last companion in the ritual.

"Gorash, son of Zodagh, carries the strength of his clan" (Bardic Inspiration)

Hildegard Dex save: 2 (half damage from fire resistance)

Hildegard grits through the flames as Perdita chorts as if tickled by the inferno.  She urges her steed forward and brings her "toothed" longsword against the corrupted couatl.

Longsword Attack: 23 Damage: 11

When Hildegard longsword lands, a flash or radiance makes the wound burn hot.  "Begone, wretched creature."

Divine smite, 1st level slot: 9 radiant

Hildegard swings again!  She seems to have newfound skill with the blade.

Longsword Attack: 17 Damage: 15

Round 2: Korba

Korba is still concentrating on the ritual with Jodie and Gorash.

(OOC: That is, if Hildegard didn't finish it off, it's now the Broken Couatl's turn.)

The broken Couatl roars in pain as it is pummeled from all sides... but it isn't planning to go down yet!

Both of Hew-Bear's attacks strike true! But the creature's hide is tough, and resists the two vicious attacks!

Temphalic's blast of lightning missed.

Selarial's Radiant Touch singes the wretched creature's scales painfully.

Dex save vs Sacred Flame: 9

Ruby's first attack hits and the second grazes the Couatl

Hildegard's first attack strikes true... but the creature's flesh seems hardened against the steel! Yet... it screams in agony as divine radiance channels through the blade... taking an additional 14 Radiant damage. Her second swing goes wide.

The broken creature lets out a pulse of raw agony as a reaction! Every character within 15 feet of it (Hildegard, Perdita, Hew-Bear, and Selarial, as she made a melee attack against it) must make a DC 16 Con save or take 27 Force damage. (half damage on a success). It uses its movement to uncoil from prone.

"The abyss takes us all!" the broken creature shrieks, as it makes a lunge at Hildegard with its fangs!

Bite vs Hildegard
Attack: 27 Damage: 15. On a hit, Hildegard is also Poisoned until the end of the Broken Couatl's next turn.

As soon as it has made its attack, the Couatl uses a bonus action to call a remnant of divine protection; any creature that attacks it must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw first or choose a new target/lose the attack.

PCs are up!

Quote from Mister_Whisker >>

 DC 16 Con save or take 10 Force damage. (half damage on a success).

Hewelathan-Bear - CON saving throw: 20 (+2 as a Brown Bear and +1 from his cloak)

Nickeline runs forward, mace in hand. Something stops her. Perhaps out of respect for what this horrible creature once was, Nickeline stays her hand and doesn't try to smash its face in.

OOC:

Wis save w/ adv vs Sanctuary: 8, 12 --> fail

Hewelathan-Bear - CON saving throw: 20 (+2 as a Brown Bear and +1 from his cloak)

Round 2: Hewelathan

Hewelathan-Bear resists the worst of the agonizing pulse and then he continues the attack on the Broken Couatl. He attempts to knock it down again with a swipe of his claws, but he finds himself unable to attack.  In frustration, he lunges forward to bite the snake-thing.

Movement: None.  Remain in melee with the Broken Couatl.
Action: Action: Multiattack against the Broken Couatl (one bite and one with claws)
  Melee Weapon Attack, Claws: Attack abandoned.
    DC 16 WIS Save for Sanctuary: 13. (in game log)
  Melee Weapon Attack, Bite:  19, Damage: 15 piercing
    DC 16 WIS Save for Sanctuary: 24. (in game log)

Radiant touch: 11 for 19dmg
Holy Kiss: DC15 con save or take 5 radiant dmg

Tamphalic wis save: 9 he wants to cast a fire bolt, but than for some reason decides not to.

Gorash keeps concentrating on the spell
But on the next attack by the creature he will use his Arcane ward on whoever gets attacked to reduce the damage by 7

Broken Couatl Con save: 23

The Couatl has taken an additional 11 damage from last round (6 from Hew-bear, 5 from Selarial)

[[ OOC: Every little bit helps?  Let's see whether Ruby and Hildegard manage to do enough damage to finish it off! ]]

Ruby steps out of the protective sphere and attempts to evoke another burst of arcane energy, but looses her nerve and retreats back to Jodie's side.

Santuary save: 6
