Quote from Hambergler >>

Tristan charges forward at one of the hobgoblins firing arrows bringing his blade down on the creature as he speaks divine words over his attack.

OOC:

movement: Move to engage an archer

action attack: 20 to hit for 6 slashing damage; Sap. If you hit a creature with a Longsword, that creature has Disadvantage on its next attack roll before the start of your next turn.

If successful, casting searing smite for an additional 1 fire damage. At the beginning of its turn con save: 14 or it takes another 2 fire damage, if it succeeds the spell end.

End Turn.

Staying at a distance Thorne draws his bow and aiming past his allies, fires at the creatures head.

17 to hit for 8 dmg

Tristan, following Titanus's example, slinks through the forest, looking for an archer to target. Finding one, he whispers some words to his blade, and cold steel cuts through armor as flame burns in the goblin's body. 

CON save: =2

(OOC: I'm assuming Thorne is firing at an archer?)

Thorne's arrow shoots towards Tristan, narrowly avoiding him as he jumps out of the way but also missing the hobgoblin, who dashes towards the other archers. 

Titanus, Karrius, and Ozymandias, who are still engaged in melee with the goblins, face almost no opposition. A cry rings out from the archers, and suddenly, the hobgoblin party is there, disengaging from combat before retreating towards their allies. 

(OOC: They took the Disengage action, then retreated at full movement speed just for note)

(OOC: Ozymandias/Karrius's turn - you both are still standing there watching the hobgoblins retreat towards their fellows)

Ozymandias casts Vicious Mockery for 6 damage.

OOC: I'm assuming they're still within 60 feet?

Ozymandias casts Vicious Mockery for 6 damage.

OOC: I'm assuming they're still within 60 feet?

(OOC: Yep - and you can tell where the goblins are because of Tristan's spell)

The poor hobgoblin archer, tormented by the party, finally drops to the ground as Ozymandias shouts insults at him. Even Thorne and Tristan can hear him, in the trees and thirty feet away. 

Karrius?

(OOC: Anyone want to bot for Karrius or should I? He can take his turn later in initiative)

The other archers, noting Tristan and Thorne, disengage from combat as the remaining four fighters cover their retreat, the archers firing at the paladin and the ranger as they back away. "Help!" one shouts, looking for reinforcements, but none seem to be coming. 

Tristan: Attack: 11 Damage: 8

Thorne: Attack: 9 Damage: 9

(These are attacks against us correct?)

Karrius casts Hunter's Mark at the retreating hobgoblins.

Attack: 20

Damage: 4

(OOC: Yep, the archers fired and then retreated)

Karrius casts Hunter's Mark at the retreating hobgoblins.

Attack: 20

Damage: 4

(OOC: Is this Hunter's Mark attack roll an attack against the hobgoblin who you cast it on? It boosts your damage by 1d6, and it is a BA... just can't tell whether you're making an attack after that or not)

Karrius attempts to shoot one of the hobgoblins with his longbow.

AC: 11

Damage: 8

(OOC: Yeah, most likely)

You see a hobgoblin become suddenly entangled in vines and thorns, not strong enough to hold it down but enough to delay its flee, as Karrius raises his arms in an eldritch gesture. Drawing his bow, he shoots, but misses to the left. 

(OOC: Already did the archers' turns so I believe it is Titanus at the top of the initiative order)

Tristan: Attack: 23 Damage: 3

Thorne: Attack: 16 Damage: 6

 “I can help decapitate you,” says Titanus, chasing after the retreating fighters, wildly swinging his Great-Greataxe.

(Attacking with Reckless Attack and Savage Attacker. Also I extend my rage by attacking)

Attack: 24 (19+5 in game log)

Damage: 17 (6+9+2 Rage damage)

If that hits, then Titanus will also try to decapitate the next nearest hobgoblin with cleave.

Attack: 6 (1+5 DOUBLE NAT 1 NOOOOO)

I’m going to assume that misses.

(OOC - can you repost init order at the top of each round? Saves me from having to keep going back to find it lol)

A hobgoblin goes down with a swing of the great-greataxe as Titanus wildly charges at them. However, swinging again, you all see a hobgoblin dexterously dive out of the way as his greataxe implants itself in a large pine tree. 

(OOC: I believe that brings it down to 3 hobgoblin fighters, 3 hobgoblin archers)

The hobgoblins manage to dart out of sight in the dense trees, and you stand there silently. All of you have the same thoughts in your mind - "Why are all of you here?"

“You guys really like to charge first and hope you don’t die, don’t you?”

“I never die, bucko.”
