Once the creatures hear the first word from Nefire they stop their bickering and barrel jousting and turn to look at her in a kind of synchronized jaw dropping and barrel dropping as they grab for their weapons and start shouting in a language none of you know. They are, indeed, shouting at the top of their lungs. One could presume either in fury of seeing strangers or in an attempt to call for reinforcements...
(Goblin is what they are shouting in.)
Initiative: Krumar, Faevlin A, Jordgubb, Faevlin B, Nefire & Raevyn...
Krumar - You see the others approach and hear Nefire growl out that she wants answers! You're action come just as the creatures drop the barrels and just begin shouting something you do not understand... And your action is?
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Krumar groans silently to himself knowing that something like this would happen...of course it would, first flying lizards now weird goblin things.....Well no sense drawing attention to himself. He readies a spell for when an attack is made.
The first creature draws their scimitar and, seeing as Nefire already has a weapon drawn, chooses to attack rather than to try and capture.
Fa Scimitar vs Nefire: 8 to hit, which obviously misses...
This attack triggers Krumar's held action and he sends a dim light (appropriate) arcing through the darkness at the creature. It hits and annoys the creature but the damage is by no means overwhelming...
Jordgubb, currently in sickly housecat form atop the rickety cabin, is next to act...
Jordgubb stealths across the rotten roof jumping down into the building through a hole and reverting (bonus action) to his equally sickly draconic form, crouching behind the Faevlins dropped barrel, he throws a poison spray up at the left Faevlin (20 to hit, 1 poison damage)
Creature A takes another small dose of damage when they are sprayed with poison from out of nowhere! They make a sound somewhere between surprise and disgust but it doesn't sound very much pained. At this rate he'll be done in a few days...
Faevlin B (let's just call them what they are) also swings their scimitar at Nefire since she is the closest, even if not largest, target available...
FB Scimitar vs Nefire: 16to hit for 3damage - First blood is drawn! (not first damage, but still...)
Both Faevlin have more or less stopped shouting in Goblin now and are instead giggling unnervingly despite being in the midst of combat.
Falling from the somewhere in the dark shadows up near the roof, a Knifewing swoops down and attack Jordgubb. The druid felt like he probably had cover from the two Faevlin but wasn't expecting this! (No surprise or anything, but no cover either.) The Knifewing swoops by and makes a slashing attack with it's wing and then glides past landing on the ground about ten feet away. (Flyby feature so no Opportunity Attack.)
Pissed that her intimidation tactic did not work, and then the creature had the audacity to hit her?? She goes into another rage as she regrips her axe.
She swings at B in retaliation, Attack: 25, Damage: 11+ 2
Then with her cleave option, she swings at A: Attack: 22, Damage: 1+ 2
Nefire's rage allows he to cut down the one Faevlin in a bold swing of her axe, the follow through clipping the other a bit as well.
Raevyn speaks her Word of Radiance and the burning light reveals Nefire's action in stark contrast to the dark night, as well as fells the remaining Faevlin who crumples in a heap crying out in the agony of the burned until the eternal silence finds them.
It's at this time though when the party finds this fight isn't quite that easy... Summoned from the sounds of battle, perhaps, or the shrieks of the dying, Faevlin start to emerge from the nearby tents as well as more Knifewings from the rafters of the cabin.
Another Knifewing glides down and makes a slashing wing attack vs Jordgubb before drifting past and landing on the ground ten feet or so past:
Knifewing C vs Jordgubb: 22 to hit for 6 damage
"New" Faevlin A and B emerge from the closest of the huts and, seeing what is going on, grab up weapons! Each grabs a shortbow and hastily takes a potshot at the intruders (disadvantage since just awoken and all...)
Faevlin A shortbow vs Raevyn: 12 to hit... misses Faevlin B shortbow vs nefire: 12 to hit... also misses.
(Oops, forgot to roll at dis but it certainly didn't affect the outcome...)
Currently only the new A&B are really visible to the party but a quick glance does show movement and ruffling coming from the other huts and you feel pretty confident there are more attackers coming...
Krumar find a stick from behind the tree where he stands and wraps it in some spare traveling clothes. He then stealthily (17) moves to hut C, hiding behind it where he dips the stick in oil and begins to light it. He then tosses the makeshift torch onto the hut to set it on fire. He then (Bonus Action Adrenaline Rush) dashes behind the tree West of Hut C.
Alrighty, Krumar goes all firebug on the joint in, I suppose, an attempt to hurry the Faevlin up in exiting the huts and joining the fray? While sticking to shadows and avoiding sightlines himself, the party does see the top of one of the further huts start to flicker and catch fire adding more shouts and chaos to the scene...
Faevlin D steps out of their hut and shouts to the occupant in the nearby hut on fire. Assured they are awake and exiting, FD looks around for a target. Drawing their shortbow they take aim and shoot at the first stranger they see.
FD shortbow vs Raevyn: 20 to hit for 7 damage
FD then uses remaining movement to hurry the resident of the fiery hut the heck out of said hut...
Two more Knifewings (B&D) swoop out of the rafters and do flyby attacks on Jordgubb:
Knifewing B vs Jordgubb: 17 to hit for 6 damage Knifewing D vs Jordgubb: 10 to hit, which misses...
Having taken two heavy hits Jordgubb coughs up blood before wiping his mouth off and breathing out in the cold night air, the warmth of his breath is visible and he wraps his hands up on the moisture, druidic arcanum morning the breath into ice, he launches the ice knife at knifewing KB (25 to hit, 4 piercing) once the ice is embedded within the knifewings it explodes catching both KB and KD on its radius, (Dex save 14 or take an additional 6 cold dam)
Jordgubb then moves toward Raevyn and Nefire in a panic, taking out his staff at the same time and casting shillelagh upon it, mushrooms growing plump upon the head as he asks the girls "Protect me whilst I heal up please!"
The Knifewing is hit by the Ice Knife but when it explodes only KD takes damage from the icy shrapnel...
Jordgubb can't move next to the two girls without provoking an opportunity attack from at least one of the knifewings... But luckily it is distracted by the exploding ice knife and misses it's bite attack.
Knifewing C scuttles over to the side of the cabin and climbs up to the top of it, scaling the side. Likely intent on jumping off and making another attack next round...
Faevlin C scampers out of their hut and spends the turn screaming and cursing in Goblin while helplessly batting at flames too high to reach with it's ratty blanket.
Faevlin E and F both rush out of their huts and rush forward until they can find some cover, one half behind a hut, the other half behind a tree, before taking shots with their shortbows... Faevlin E shortbow vs Nefire: 8 to hit but misses... Faevlin F shortbow vs Raevyn: 17 to hit, but also misses...
Both Faevlin E and F use their Bonus Actions to hide after making their attacks.
Nefire nods to Jordgubb like she understands that he wants her to stay and protect her, but in her mind - protection is to take down every last one of the mean buggers.
Raising her axe above her head, she starts charging towards FA. But with each step she takes, her size increases as though minotaur might is growing within the halfling. As she reaches the creature, she is large and she stomps on the small tent he emerged from. Nefire takes a swing at the now smaller faevlin A.
Attack: 24, Damage: 19 + 3 (from the charger feat)
Then with the tent that E was hiding behind crumpled under her feet, she cleaves at E with the back swing of the axe (if she can't trample the tent, then forget this)
Attack: 23, Damage: 8 + 2 (from the minotaur strength)
Each step Nefire takes seems to thud into the ground louder than it should but the surprise of the sound is soon replaced by the surprise of the size... Little Nefire litterally grows with each stomp of her foot until the small halfling is the largest of you all! As Nefire grows in stature all of her equipment and items somehow magically grow in size to compensate and so now she is wielding a huge ass axe and bringing it down upon the heads of these poor Fevlin... It is debatable if Faevlin A is sliced in half or merely just squashed - Nefire's axe is kept well sharpened but coming down upon such a small creature with such force... Well, it's just a bloody mess.
Faevlin E fares no better. It had been hidden from Nefire before her perspective changed so dramatically... And after stomping over and destroying the one creature, taking down half the hut as collateral damage while she did so, the shivering and trembling Faevlin E was revealed. Before it could hardly release a squawk or spray of terrified pee it was flattened into a bloodstain upon the forest floor.
It had perhaps looked like the Faevlin had turned the fight to their advantage with the coming of the reinforcements from out of the huts... But Nefire has singlehandedly seemingly flipped the table over and sent all the pieces scattering...
Next Up: Raevyn!
(Red ring = dead... Will be removed for less clutter next update.)
Raevyn stands tall, her gaze sharp and calculating at the foes ahead. Her wolf pup remains tightly secured within her gear, its tiny body nestled against her chest, unaware of the impending conflict. The faint rustle of her dark, hooded robes betrays her otherwise still form, and the gleam of her scale mail catches the light only when necessary.
Her fingers move slowly, deliberately, as she mutters a phrase under her breath. She whispers, “Light and shadow, entwined. Balance between life’s fleeting whispers and death’s eternal call." With a sudden, fluid motion, Raevyn steps forward extending her hand upward, the air crackling around her with the hum of divine energy, and a radiance like a sharp beam of moonlight erupts from her outstretched fingers.
VS KD KB Word of Radiance: Con save DC 15 Damage: 3
A bright, burning radiance flashes out from the little dark clad cleric and the two closest knifewings shriek, albeit one is short lived... The other seems very hurt and on it's last legs, so to speak.
Faevlin B is too far away from the bright flash to concern themself with it, what with considering the very large Halfling who is suddenly all grow'd up and bustin' the joint up! They quickly take a potshot at the monstrosity (to their eyes) before moving around the backside of the hut and using a bonus action to hide...
Shortbow vs Nefire: 13to hit misses... Stealth: 22 - they're pretty effectively hidden
Knifewing A (let me find what they did last time... hmmmm....) I believe Knifewing A is currently on the ground so it scrambles up the one side of the rotted cabin and starts crossing the roof to the side where the action is. (No attacks, just movement. It is up on roof now.)
In taking aim at Faevlin B, Krumar apparently forgets to actually aim and his arrow goes wide... It does, however, alert that Faevlin of his presence.
Faevlin D takes a shot at the most obvious target - Nefire. After letting loose with it's shortbow it moves to it's right behind the hut in that direction and uses a bonus action to hide. Shortbow vs Nefire: 15 to hit just misses... Stealth: 14...
Knifewing B scrambles away from Jordgubb and Raevyn (wasn't in melee so no Oppo attacks) and scrambles to the high ground by going up the side of the cabin and onto it's dilapidated roof.
Next Up: Jordgubb!
