Abishai's Dragons of Icespire Peak

Gareth's second arrow hits the hulking merrow in the back, causing it to snarl in pain. Rasziel lies in a crumpled pile at the base of the staircase, life draining from his frail body. [[OOC: 1 death save failed.]]

One Harpy swooshes down onto Kithran as he stands over the fallen Night Hag. It tries to claw the armored dwarf and then hit it over the head with its club. Attack: 21 Damage: 9 slashing. The Harpy's claws sink into the pale flesh of the Paladin, but he easily deflects the follow up club attack.

Another Harpy swoops down near Zephyros in the pool of water attacking from above, but both attacks miss as the warriors head bobs just above the water line.

Alisande runs up the stairs overlooking the fight between Kithran and the Harpy, she sends a fire bolt at the Harpy. Attack: Nat 20 Damage: 17 fire. The bolt burns a hole in the Harpy's right wing and scorches the ground beyond it.

Meira is up!

Meira quickly grabs her Potion of Healing and downs it (8 hp regained).  Still rather hurt, she makes her way back over to where she noticed Rasziel had fallen. Still invisible, she tries to stabilize him. (Medicine Check, DC 10: 18)

(OOC - I'm assuming that was Bonus Action for Potion and Action to Stabilize. She would like to see if Rasziel is carrying any healing potions, which I think will be next round. I suppose she will stay next to him invisible if that is the case. If there is some way she can check now, she would do that then move away.)  

Feeling much better, the still invisible rogue rushes over to Rasziel and binds the worst of his wounds, stabilizing him. He'll wake up in 1 hours with 1 HP. 

Kithran is up!

Zephyros furiously continues to attack the seemingly never-ending adversaries coming his way. Knowing that the Merrow is already fairly wounded, the tactical minded veteran prioritizes extinguishing the soul of the insolent hulking fish monster.

1st Attack: 16, Damage: 10

2nd Attack: Nat 20! (28), Damage: 16

After being hit by the harpy's claws, Kithran thrusts his hand up, catching the harpy by the neck. He pulls her closer and growls,

"I am death's grip"

His touch spreads a  ravenous black fire across the harpy's body.

Inflict Wounds 24 to hit. For 22 necrotic damage.

If the harpy's dead, Lord Kithran will move 25 feet closer to the green hag.

Kithran grabs the Harpy by the neck as its claws rake the Paladin. A dark energy spreads through the Harpy from Kithran's grasp. It dies before the Oathbreaker tosses the corpse to the ground. He then moves south and sees Zephyros engaged with several adversaries in the center pool.

Zephyros finishes off the hulking Merrow with two quick thrusts of his trident.

The Sea Hag attempts to grapple Zephyros and pull his head under water, but the armored warrior easily kicks off her feeble attempts.

The merrow haranguer attacks Zephyros with her coral scepter, but again isn't able to hit the warrior as he thrashes about in the water. Getting frustrated, she takes two steps back and aims her longbow at the veteran, sending two arrows at him. Attack: 25 Damage: 7 piercing + 5 poison. Attack: 24 Damage 6 piercing + 6 poison. [[OOC: Zephyros, you can make an attack of opportunity on the merrow haranguer.]]

The Green Hag stops stirring the cauldron. As she does, the rooms misty fog begins to lift. You can now see out to a range of 30'. The Hag moves over to Zephyros saying, "I don't believe it! How can this be? You're supposed to die!" She lashes out at Ironheart, hoping to finish him off quickly. Attack: 19 Damage: 15 slashing.

That brings us to the top of round 4!

Updated Map:

Rasziel keeps laying in a heap on the stairs, awaiting resuscitation.

Gareth could sense the sea hag underneath the water after applying his hunter's mark, but he hadn't been able to do anything until she popped up out of the water again. Now a green hag had joined in the attack, as well as the strong merrow. The ranger is impressed by the veteran warrior's endurance under the onslaught of so many foes. He hopes he can take the sea hag down before she attacks again. He fires two arrows at her, still concentrating on his hunter's mark.

Longbow +1 Attack 1: 18 to hit for 8 piercing damage + 6 HM damage

Longbow +1 Attack 2: 17 to hit for 9 piercing damage + 6 HM damage

Zephyros is struggling to keep breathing, especially after getting shot twice. The Green Hag then advances to assault the Ironheart. As the evil green monster tries to deal a devastating blow, the bear of a man swiftly casts a protective barrier around him, it's attack harmlessly bouncing off. Zephyros' face contorts in rage and sneers at the creatures' insolent remark, shouting, "My name is Zephyros Ironheart. You killed my wife. Prepare to die."

Reaction: Cast Shield

Zephyros allows the Merrow to withdraw giving him the time to instead protect himself from the Green Hag's attack. Her claws hit the barrier, causing no damage. 

Gareth's arrows fly into the water beneath Zephyros, hitting the Sea Hag in the back. One severs the spine while the other embeds in the back of the Hag's head. She reels from the attacks for only a moment and then goes still, her body begins to sink to the bottom of the pool.

The Harpy continues to attack Zephyros, Attacks: 20 & 21, but isn't smart enough to know the shield protects the warrior. They fail to penetrate the veteran's defenses.

Alisande jumps back on her broom and flies over the pool. She sends a fire bolt at the Harpy. It hits in the chest and scorches the creature.

Meira, Kithran, and Zephyros are up!

Meira quickly searches Rasziel to see if he has any healing potions. (If needed, Perception: 11)

(OOC - Wait to see result before rest of turn.)

Meira, please make an investigation check instead. 

Quote from AbishaiTheHatless >>

Meira, please make an investigation check instead. 

 (OOC - The bonus is the same.)

[[OOC: Copy that. You may administer the potion as part of the same search action if you'd like.]]

You find a single potion of healing on his person.

As Meira finds the potion, she quickly administers it to Rasziel. (8 hp restored) 

Not waiting to see how he responds, she then turns her attention back to the battle. She decides to take a chance, calling out towards the Sea Hag as she moves a bit to the southwest along the wall. "Hey! Don't forget about me! Remember I'll be back! Woohoo!"  (Bonus Action - Master of Tactics: HELP giving Advantage to next attack on Sea Hag.) Then going silent, she moves to the closest pillar, taking cover behind it although still invisible. 

(OOC - Just to note, the description of Master of Tactics say it can be used at 30 ft. range if target can 'see or hear' you. And it shouldn't trigger anything that ends invisibility. For movement, I imagine her going 20 ft. roughly along the wall, then moving NE to get back to the space just above and left of the top-left pillar. Hopefully that makes sense. The idea is to try to confuse where she's actually located.) 

Lord Kithran stalks towards the fray, his boots clumping heavily against the stone. He stops behind the Merrow, and unleashes two powerful blows upon the creature's back.

Action: 1st attack: 24 to hit. 12 Bludgeoning, 9 fire damage. 2nd attack: 22 to hit. 13 Bludgeoning, 8 fire damage.

((OOC if the Merrow dies on the first hit Kithran will target the Green Hag on the second.))

Meira forces the healing liquid down the throat of Rasziel. Instantly, the liquid begins working on the frail man. With the Sea Hag dead and sinking to the bottom of the pool and moving along the wall, Meira turns her attention towards the Green Hag, hoping to cause a distraction for someone to take advantage of. Then she stops next to the pillar, still invisible.

Kithran, hits the merrow with his flaming warhammer. The first blow dislocates the creatures shoulder. The second blow hits the creature on the right arm, breaking bone in the process as it whirls around to engage this new threat. The merrow hisses at Kithran and squints its eyes in anger.

Zephyros is up!

Zephyros attacks the Green hag with his wife's trident, he then moves to the west, hoping to get out of the water. If successful, he moves around the pillar to the south of the Green Hag.

1st Attack: 19/22 Damage: 12

2nd Attack: 27 Damage: 12

Athletics: 13

Zephyros hits the Green Hag twice in the legs as he tries to escape the pool. As he climbs out of the water, the Green Hag takes advantage of his temporary weakness and attacks the veteran. Attack: 24 Damage: 15 slashing. Zephyros feels the Green Hag's claws rake his back as he pulls himself slowly out of the water.

As the bearded veteran comes around to the south, the Merrow Haranguer decides to ignores the Paladin for now and continues to attack Zephyros, hoping to finish the warrior off and improve her odds. Using her coral scepter, she attacks three times, then dives into the water disappearing beneath the surface. Kithran and Zephyros may takes attacks of opportunity. 

• 1st Attack: 19 Damage 14 Bludgeoning
• 2nd Attack: 18 miss
• 3rd Attack: 16 miss

The Green Hag looks around her and recognizes her predicament, in the blink of an eye, she disappears from view while saying, "Perhaps we can come to an arrangement?"

• 19 Harpy
• 14 Alisande
• 13 Meira

Updated Map:

As the Merrow slinks away, Kithran rumbles, "Coward."

He takes advantage of his enemy's drop in defence and swings his hammer in a mighty arc.

Reaction: Attack: 20 to hit, 12 bludgeoning, 10 fire.
