Quote from Yalexis_09 >>

Grikiltha:

• You decide if you wanted to ready a dash action once the creature squirms its way past you.

Drako:

• The sacred flame reflects off of the carrion crawler's golden exterior. [ 14 on the dex save ]

Darien:

• Zrava succesfully teleports herself and Drako out of harm's way, scorching some of the crawler's face in the process. [ 10 on the dex save ]

MINE FEATURES

All tunnels and caverns in the mine are hewn from rock that has thin veins of gold ore running through it. Other common features are described below.

Ceilings. Ceilings throughout are 8 feet high and braced at regular intervals by wooden pilasters and beams.

Doors. All doors are made of wood with iron hinges and handles. The doors are fitted with locks, but none of them are locked. The keys needed to unlock and lock them are gone.

Light. Oil lanterns hang from ceiling hooks in every room and tunnel.

Map: [ Let me know if that's the position you wanted (for Zrava and Drako). ]

Like this?:

[[ Looks good to me. ]]

Pinja looks around at the dank tunnel and tries to find a way to conceal herself. 
[13 stealth check]

[ Reactions first. ]

Nigel:

• Once the Carrion Crawler is within range, Nigel releases the arcane energy he had been storing up until that moment and yells "Abhorent!" [ 19 to hit, dealing 8 points of fire damage. Used the scribe wizard feature to change damage type of the spell. ]

Darien:

• You can roll the ball of flame attack roll, damage roll, and take a turn.

Pinja:

• The red dot symbolizes where you could have hidden from the creature. You can choose to be there at the start of your turn. 

Grikiltha:

• You can choose to dash towards the green dot on the map as part of your reaction, then start your turn there. 

[ I don't believe there were any other reactions. ]

Carrion Crawler's Turn:

• The tentacles lash out at Zrava again, and then a bite to finish her off. [ 14 to hit, dealing 6 points of damage. Con save for Zrava (dc 13) 11. Bite to hit 14/21 (if advantage), dealing 6/4 points of damage (if critical). ]

Initiative

Carrion Crawler

Adventurers (now)

Map:

[ Unless there's a reaction to save Zrava, she dissipates. ]

Don-Jon:

• Slingshot attack roll is a 16, dealing 3 damage.

Nigel:

• Uses his action to maintain the link between the crawler and his spell, dealing 11 fire damage. Archie will be sent forth to distract the monster and give advantage to the next attacker (flew directly north of the Carrion Crawler next to where Zrava was).

[ By 'next attacker' I mean anyone that attacks after Darien's reaction. ]

[[ Readied action: 24 to hit, 2 fire damage ]]

As the tentacles lash out at her, Zrava once again dissipates in a swirl of flame. Darien holds out his arm, drawing the flames to him. They swirl around him for a moment as his tattoo reappears, and then in a burst of heat, he releases them back towards the monster in a fiery cone (aimed so it misses Pinja and Archie with a move if necessary, 10 fire damage, DEX 13 save for half). 

[ The Carrion Crawler is looking rough (bloodied). ]

Darien:

• After landing the ball of flames, the crawler is engulfed by the fiery cone. [ Full damage on both. ]

Map:

Using the advantage from Archie Drako calls out, "Aid us in battle, Bahamut!"

Guiding Bolt
To-Hit: max(5,12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 3+6+1+4 = 14 radiant

on a hit, next attack gets advantage

Pinja sees the creature emerge from the tunnel and all thoughts of hiding fade from her mind. She smiles showing her fangs and narrows her eyes. She watches as the fire flies from Darien and then the bolt from Drako. She steels herself and shuffles in and swipes with her short sword, then headbutts. Using 1 ki she then dashes away with step of the wind. 

[shortsword 24 to hit (critical hit), 8 damage; headbutt 20 to hit, 4 damage]

Grikiltha will come around the corner pike raised in the air (is it dead already?)

Grikiltha will run up behind the carrier and poke at it with pike from 10 ft

To hit:12 (16 if advantage for flanking which I can't remember if we use or not) damage 11 piercing 

With a swift motion, Don-Jon pulls out his slingshot and fires a well-aimed shot. The small missile strikes the creature, causing it to rear back and emit an angry hiss, its tentacles sparking with increased ferocity.

Seizing the opportunity, Nigel steps forward. A ray of fire shoots from his fingertips, striking the carrion crawler squarely in its grotesque form. The golden sheen momentarily flares with the intense heat, the creature writhing in pain as the fire scorches its flesh.

Darien, drawing on the primal forces of nature, follows up with a spell of his own. Flames roar to life around the crawler, engulfing it in a conflagration that further weakens its resolve. The creature thrashes wildly, its tentacles flailing as the fire consumes it, leaving scorch marks across its shimmering exterior.

Drako, channeling the divine power of his deity, summons a bolt of radiant energy. The bolt streaks through the air, slamming into the carrion crawler with righteous fury. The creature shrieks, its movements growing sluggish under the relentless assault.

Pinja, her eyes burning with determination, closes the distance in a heartbeat. With a deft swing, she strikes the crawler with her shortsword, the blade biting deep into its segmented body. Not pausing for breath, she follows up with a brutal attack using her horns, goring the creature and causing it to convulse in agony.

Finally, Grikiltha sees her moment. With a fierce battle cry, she charges forward, her pike poised for the killing blow. She thrusts the weapon with all her strength, the tip piercing through the crawler's back with a satisfying crunch. The carrion crawler spasms violently before collapsing to the ground, its golden sheen dulled and its tentacles falling limp.

[ Initiative is over. ]

Map:

"Nicely done!" says Drako, complimenting the others. He gazes at Grikiltha's pike, "Makes me think of kebabs, even if this... thing... doesn't look too appetizing." He looks around, "How are you all feeling? Shall we press on up that corridor once more?"

Pinja laughs heartily. “Feeling great.” She looks around at the team approvingly. “Let’s away,” she agrees.

"Aye let's push on! says Nigel. His eyes glint with a new found delight. 

"The big fella was sitting in that hallway for a reason, best find out what it was." Grikiltha removes the pike from the carrier. She was happy the crew saw it as a good strategy as opposed to stabbing the creature in the back. Not all see that as fighting fair, but outside of planned fighting like sparring or as sport like at a tournament, Grikiltha saw no need for fair fighting. You take tactical advantage and you use it, all there was too it. "Still feel like taking lead Drako or need a break from it?"

"I can still go ahead if needs be. I've got good armor and Bahamut's blessings to protect me." he chuckles, ready for whatever thrills lie ahead.

"Let us press onward then," Darien says when he has finished catching his breath. He glances at the large corpse before them, then the tunnel from which it emerged. "Hopefully that's the last of our surprises for today. I'm not sure how much more heat I can summon before needing a rest."
