Bushawk, when Therkis notices the 2 Gargoyles coming at him, he casts Shield as a REACTION. That increases his AC +5, from 17 to 22. I believe that reduces the damage done to Therkis to 31...all of it coming from Gargoyle 2.
Check again, Aelar protected you so there were re-rolls.
OOC - @dm was the Nat 20 for G2.3 not rerolled or did it end up being 2 Nat 20s 😳
Leif uses Toll the Dead on an injured Gargoyle from Orjon’s position in combat.
Wis 16 vs 14 necrotic damage.
He maintains concentration on One with Shadows and uses a bonus action to continue Gaze of Two Minds. Darling Rax though aggressive tends to stay in the shadows away from such unnatural adversaries.
G1 and G2 attacks Aelar. G1 and G2 Swings their 4 massive arms in it defiance at the heros. Aelar is able to defend most of the blows but receives a scratch that makes him lower his guard before taking a solid blow to the head.
G1
Attack 1 12 to hit miss
Attack 2 20 to hit 7 damage
Attack 3 18 to hit miss
Attack 4 Nat 20 19 damage
G2
Attack 1 18 to hit miss
Attack 2 8 to hit miss
Attack 3 19 to hit miss
Attack 4 10 to hit miss
In response Aelar smashes G1 with his first blow killing it. Then he spins on G2 Chopping off an arm, knocking it over with his shield before finishing it off on the ground.
Leif pulls out his bell and gives it a ding. G3 (failed save) the Gargoyle skin cracks in response and its now bloodied.
Orjon flys in and his iron fists blast a hole with his first blow in the thing before his second causes the thing to shadder in a rain of dust and pebbles. He then turns on the last remaining Gargoyle.
His first attack cracks the beast but it had lds it's ground the second one knocks it back 10 feet. Orjon flys back to safety. (If you have a reaction Aelar take it now, did I miss therkis's action.)
Aelar’s haste grants him a +2 AC so the scratch doesn’t hurt him, but the hard hit to the head definitely dazes Aelar for a bit. If G4 attacks someone within 5ft of him, he will use his Reaction to impose his shied causing disadvantage on that ally for the rest of the round.
A GREAT FIGHT! Aelar you sure are damn strong, and I have never seen someone use a knife like you do. I'm going to be honest with you Leif, i dont know what that bell shit is, but i know it works and thats all i care about! Orjon gives a pat on the back to all his companions and takes a big swig of his flask.
Gods its been a while since i have fought beasts like this and damn i miss it! lets get going soon i want to smash some more beast!
This has been a day and a half already. Perhaps we take refuge for the night in this room now that it’s been cleared out and start again in the morning? (long rest) If not, let me know for I will need to cast some healing spells on myself before we continue. That fight really took it out of me.
((If we can take advantage of a LONG REST, by all means let’s do it. Therkis is not necessarily needing one, but I know the magic users and injured could use it))
DM: yes yes take a long rest Mu ha ha ha. Sleep like defenseless sheep. He he he. Joking aside. if y'all want to take one that's fine it is the middle of the night. How ever you need to explain how you do it.
We can use the bodies of the gargoyles to barricade the doors. Aelar can cast create food and water so the party can eat and drink before the long rest.
Sighs Alright you guys make some good points i suppose i wouldnt mind eating and taking a nap. With 4 of us we should all be able to sleep 6 with each of us taking a 2 hour watches just in case. I can take first watch, haven't meditated in a while i suppose.
Only attacks that meet your shielded AC hit. So 31 if that's the new damage.
It was a dirty 20 forgot to cross out the nat
Looks like 0 now 😁

Yep shield is one of those spells DMs love or hate
Orjon flies back in and will focus all of his attacks on G4
Attack 1: To hit = 23 Dmg = 8 force dmg
Attack 1: To hit = (Nat 20 -> 30) Dmg = 20 force dmg
Bonus action flurry of blows (2 strikes)
Attack 1: To hit = 17 Dmg = 13 force dmg
Attack 1: To hit = 19 Dmg = 9 force dmg
With these attacks orjon is trying to push the gargoyle away from Aelar, so each attack has a DC 17 strength saving throw or be pushed 10 ft back
and orjon will uses the rest of his movement to get to the back of the group and away from the gargoyles
Thank you, Aelar, for the protection.
Round 2
G1 and G2 attacks Aelar. G1 and G2 Swings their 4 massive arms in it defiance at the heros. Aelar is able to defend most of the blows but receives a scratch that makes him lower his guard before taking a solid blow to the head.

Attack 4 Nat 20 19 damage
G2
Attack 1 18 to hit miss
Attack 2 8 to hit miss

If G4 attacks someone within 5ft of him, he will use his Reaction to impose his shied causing disadvantage on that ally for the rest of the round.
Therkis focuses on the last remaining Gargoyle and comes out of the shadows to SNEAK ATTACK the Gargoyle with ADVANTAGE.
I rolled a (10,5) +9 = 19 to HIT. I rolled 4 +5 = 9 damage plus SNEAK ATTACK damage of 20 for a total of 29. I then DISENGAGE back into the shadows.
END TURN
Therkis sneaks up and rolling through Aelar Legs stabs the Gargoyle in the gut. Ripping out the dagger is too much for the creature as it drops dead.
End of fight
The 4 gargoyles each had a gem studded collar on. The collars had 10 gems each with a value of 1 gold per gem.

Leif takes watch with everyone, feeds Rax his evening portion of grubs a worms even a couple field mice. He will rest just no sleep or sustenance.
Ok post the order of your watch with a perception check
Aelar will take first watch so he can then sleep throughout after. (16,17) 17 perception
