Eberron: Rising from the Last War

With you all reacquainted, you all here steps in the next room. Thorn and his men chattering to each other. The footsteps stop and you hear Thorn say, "Hang on, what is that?" You hear him walk to where Elero's mage hand holds the torch under the table. "I knew I heard some wierd shit out here, some kind of mage has been in here, probably hiding." His gnoll friends start muttering. A moment's silence and then Thorn says, "Seems like the old gnome isn't our only plaything today." You hear the footsteps come towards the door you're all standing behind.

((Any way out of this bedroom?))

The door you came through and the window on the other side of the room. Which Kit and Mark came through.

"Maybe we should all hide in the bed, or under it? Or ambush? Or, I've got this Enthrall scroll, maybe I can distract them a little bit."

Mark will whisper, "He knows we are here so we need to attack swiftly and silently."

Mark will hunker into a corner so he can shoot whomever comes into the room.

Elero will try to hide (thematically, since this would probably take an action), and for his actual action, he'll move the Mage Hand bearing the torch back in the other room over to what he thinks is the nearest wall, to try and light the scrolls and books on fire.

Ok, Mark roll a Stealth check. And I guess a Slight of Hand check for Elero. Do either Kit or Erix want to do anything before Thorn and his gnolls come in?

Spider Erix will walk to be above the doorway to get the drop on those who might walk in (and close the door to keep the noise outside to a minimum)

Kit lets out that feral side and shifts before casually moving to one wall and climbing up and on to the roof with spider climb. he would find a dark corner. 

Mark's Stealth Check: 12

Sleight of Hand check: 25

Well, this should be an interesting result.  Maybe I'll accidentally set Thorn on fire.  :D

You all take up positions. Elero gets the feeling that his mage hand is just as likely to be setting fire to books as it is just flying around the room randomly.

The door opens and Thorn and his gnolls are waiting outside, a grin appearing on Thorn's hyena face as he sneers, "Rip them apart!" Initiative:

Group 1: Mark, Erix, and Kit

Group 2: Thorn and 4 Gnolls

Group 3: Elero.

Mark, Erix, and Kit are up. The door has just opened to the room and Thorn and the Gnolls are about to rush in. Erix is a spider above the door, while Mark and Kit are to the back of the room, Kit up the wall, Mark is currently hidden.

Oh and of course Clumulk is standing next to Elero still.

That doggie may be the only thing that saves me, though I still look like a kobold acolyte, so we'll see how they treat me.

Kit, holding his dated copy of The Sharn open to a 'how-to cantrip' page and gives one of the spells a whirl. He focuses a sapping sting on the knoll [southside of door]. Following that he summons a spectral tentacle that seems to slither out of the gnoll's (northernside of door] ass beside it like a tapeworm. The tentacle lashes out on the first gnoll [with advantage if it was knocked prone].

action: sapping sting CON14, Damage: 4 necrotic
BA: tentacle atk 13 [or 25 with adv], Damage 8 cold. speed -10 [this counts as a melee attack so it should get advantage on a prone creature?]
move: along roof next to spider erix to get a bit out of line of sight so gnolls have to enter to aim well

[rolled max damage on both, please fail that save]

Spider Erix walks over the ceiling to be right above Thorn and uses his BA to revert back and A to shape into a axe beak dropping onto Thorn. (If you'll allow me?^^)

Mark will look for the best shot and when he sees it either on the head bad guy or a gnoll

Attack: 21

Damage: 10

Sneak Attack Damage: 1

He will dip back into the corner to hide again as a BA 

Sneak: 14

Gnoll Con Save: 6
