Lord of Nessus - A D&D 5e Homebrew Campaign

OoC: I imagine they'd impale your scaly butt on a pike and feed you to the real dragons. 

(OOC: When you're saying campaign, you mean the D&D Beyond campaign thingy, right? When I try to make one, they don't work :/.) 

Matthÿse and anyone else who wants to can roll a History check to see if they know about what happened to previous contestants. 

The guards lead you down twisting hallways, which slowly spiral down towards something. You spot several other groups, also led by guards, walking down in front of you. Finally, you make it to a massive throne room. It has long marble columns that flank a long red carpet leading up to a jewel-encrusted throne. In that throne, a tall elf with striking features sits, lounging in a large purple-and-gold robe, a sign of nobility. Lord Vïldarél. 

"I have called you here for an important reason," he says, while the last groups are marching in. "You all know why you're here." And suddenly, a tall, muscular human, about 20 feet away from you, roars. 

"I don't want to do this!" he bellows. "I'm sure no one else wants to!" A roar from the crowd around you and from the human's group. And suddenly, the human and his four friends draw axes and charge, blindly raging through the crowd. And one of them is charging right at you. 

History:  8

Matthyse would have tried to convince Calanin to come with them. For whether they participate willingly or not, death was always a possibility.

Watching the rival group charge at them, Matthyse will try to intercept them with his shield and warhammer in hand (taking a dodge action).

History: 15

I ready myself, so that if they try to hit me, I would grapple them.

"I get your feelings. BUT DON'T RISK OTHERS' LIVES JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR RAGE."

To Intimidate:22

To Intimidate:16

 I shout "Stop!" in as deep a voice as I can muster, hoping to rout them. 

Calanin has gone with them. *Do we still have our weapons?*

(OOC: Yes, you still have your weapons. *Unless your character forgot them...*)

Matthyse and Saferetan, you've both heard some rumors about what happens to previous unruly contestants. You don't know if they are true, but most people say that the contestants are in a floating castle, and the windows can disappear when needed. 

The one who's charging you goes after Matthyse, swinging with his greataxe. 

So that will be (w/disadvantage) Attack: 18 Damage: 13 or Attack: 8 Damage: 7

OOC: If no one has a problem with it, I can make the campaign for us to join and use the game log to show our rolls. and it will make checking our stats and gear quicker for the DM (if that's an issue)

OoC: That's a good idea Y4DI...also that attack definitely didn't work 

(OOC: I created a campaign page!!! Hopefully it will work... link: https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/join/52608723555661465

Matthyse stands firm, parrying both attacks with ease (both missed, 18 ac). "You best listen to my companion, here."

[OoC: And just like that, it gets a little awkward.]

OOC: Nah, I was just offering since they were having issues. I'm glad they got it to work. :D

Kuuraht, you shout and the barbarian jumps back, startled. Anyone who wants can make an opportunity attack on the barbarian. 

(OOC: Pls roll initiative in your post.)

Barbarian's initiative: 13

Initiative: 1

Opp Attack: I rolled a 17 to hit and 7 bludgeoning damage (if it doesn't show on the game log then i'll reroll rn)

warhammer: 11

damage:11

Matthyse doesn't want to kill these frightened people rn. He'd rather do it on the arena, so these attack rolls are just to incapacitate them.

Init: 11

Initiative: 13

Just before the barbarian jumps out of the way, Matthyse smashes his warhammer into his face. Blood spills, and the barbarian grabs his nose while backing away even more. However, he does not go down. Saferetan also swings with his hammer, but the barbarian stumbles out of the way, still clutching his nose. 

(OOC: Matthyse, you're up again. Saferetan, the scimitar attack won't work because the barbarian is out of your reach.)

Initiative: 

> Matthyse: 18

> Saferetan: 13

> Barbarian: 13

> Calanin: 9 

- Kuuraht, can you roll initiative?

OoC: oof my lag is really bad
