Erik Soong's Call of the Netherdeep

After having witnessed whatever strange fiendish magic link was behind the Imp's head-exploding snap, Nivi shouldn't be taken aback.  But she is.

Nivi's Initiative:  5 (Nat. 1)

Jacaranda Initiative- 16

(Frekor's Initiative: 18,  11+7)

"Well poop."

Ylis Initiative 6

OOC: Double Poop!

Sky's initiative: 9

Heroes: Initiative 11
Monsters: Initiative 14

DM: Monsters win it.

The shadow demon winces at the light radiating out from Sky’s halberd. It’s burning eyes pinch closed as it lashes out at the paladin.

DM: Umbral Claw Attack with Disadvantage: 10.

Immediately, it attempts to flee… directly into the wall, where it begins to melt through the stone.

DM: Sky, you have the ability to make a Opportunity Attack. Unless you have some means to anchor the demon, it will walk through the walls out of sight.

The succubus advances on Nivi and reaches out with a claw that turns black as the void.

DM: Fiendish Touch Attack 26 – 3 (Blade Ward) for 23. Barring a Reaction, that is 9 Psychic Damage on Nivi.

It then blows a kiss to Frekor. “Be a dear and kill your lady friend, please.” It gestures at Nivi. 

DM: Frekor, please made a Wisdom Saving Throw, DC 15, with Advantage because you are in combat with the creature. On failure, you will be Charmed and must carry out the command to the best of your ability. That is, unless someone wants to use a Reaction to spare you having to roll the Save. Please feel free to collaborate before writing your turns, as Reactions are a limited currency.

The bulezau lashes out with its tail at Sky.

DM: Barbed Tail Attack: 18, for 13 Piercing Damage and 5 Necrotic Damage on Sky. If this hits, please also make a Constitution Saving Throw, DC 13, or become Poisoned. While Poisoned in this way, your body is riddled with boils, you cough up flies, and you begin to slough off rotting skin.

The bulezau then moves into range of Frekor and Morgan. Its cloud of rot permeates the entire room and out into the tunnels. The foul stench from this creature makes the contents of the sewer seem like a field of flowers. At that exact moment, the werevulture leaps at Morgan, making an ear-splitting squawk before attempting to bite him!

DM: Beak Attack: 21, Piercing Damage 9 on Morgan. Please also make a Constitution Saving Throw, DC 13 or become Cursed.

It then leaps away, over the bulezau and at Ylis!

DM: Opportunity Attacks for Morgan, Sky, and MAYBE Frekor (depending on how that Charm plays out).

It then scratches at Ylis with its massive dagger-like talons.

DM: Talon Attack: 7.

Finally, the berserker. It babbles to some entity that is unseen to all by it. “Yes, father, I will save some meat for you. I will save some meat for YOU!!!”

It swings Recklessly once at Nivi with a hellish looking flail.

DM: Flail Attack 21, Bludgeoning Damage 9 on Nivi. Please make a Constitution Saving Throw, DC 13 or be Poisoned until the end of its next turn.

It then makes an Attack on Morgan.

DM: Flail Attack 15, Bludgeoning Damage 7 on Morgan. Please make a Constitution Saving Throw, DC 13 or be Poisoned until the end of its next turn.

The flail impacts the stonework to the side of Morgan and the berserker seems to take that as some invitation to hit him again, so it attempts to do just that.

DM: Flail Attack 20, Bludgeoning Damage 6 on Morgan. Please make a Constitution Saving Throw, DC 13 or be Poisoned until the end of its next turn.

DM: The berserker is clearly off balance and is vulnerable to attacks. Any Attack against it has Advantage.

DM: Fellowship, it is your turn.

DM: Heroes, everyone please make a Constitution Saving Throw, DC 13 or suffer 4 Necrotic Damage, courtesy of the bulezau’s stinking cloud. That does include any familiars that were out.

Randa Con Save- 16

Randa sights on the vulture-thing and fires.

Attack: 21 Damage: 5 Magic Piercing

Attack: 24 Damage: 9 Magic Piercing

Blood seeps from an ear as the succubus' psychic claw rakes Nivi.  (9 damage taken, DC10 CON Save for concentration on Blade Ward:  19 - success)

But as the berserker's flail swings in at her, she raises her off-arm in a warding gesture, and pale green energy seems to deflect the blow.  Nivi casts Shield as a reaction to the attack.  Her AC goes from 17 to 22 until the start of her next turn and the flail misses.

Nivi's DC13 CON Save on the bulezau's body odor:  17 (success - no damage taken)

Shiv's DC13 CON Save on the bulezau's halitosis:  9 (failure - Shiv pops out of existence)

In honor of Nivi's Nat. 1 on Initiative, I'll wait for others to post their turns before posting hers.

DM: Sky, you have the ability to make a Opportunity Attack. Unless you have some means to anchor the demon, it will walk through the walls out of sight.

Sky can't use his other reactions right now, so he'll go ahead and take the Opportunity Attack. 
Halberd Attack: Rolled Natural 20 for a total of 27 on the OA versus the Shadow Demon.  Damage: 22 slashing as a parting gift. (used Savage Attacker to reroll damage roll (rolled 9,9 +4 dmg) 

DM: Barbed Tail Attack: 18, for 13 Piercing Damage and 5 Necrotic Damage on Sky. If this hits, please also make a Constitution Saving Throw, DC 13, or become Poisoned. 

The demon hits, but Sky reduces Piercing damage by 3 while wearing heavy armor due to Heavy Armor Mastery, so he takes 10 piercing and 5 Necrotic.  
Con Saving Throw: 11.  Sky is poisoned.

DM: Heroes, everyone please make a Constitution Saving Throw, DC 13 or suffer 4 Necrotic Damage, courtesy of the bulezau’s stinking cloud. 

Con saving throw: 5.  Sky takes an additional 4 damage.

(OOC: DM, can I use the Luxon's Blessing we received from the Drow to reroll my Con saving throw versus the bulezau?)

OOC: It requires a Reaction but can be used for any missed attack or failed save. OR

"Waitaminit Buster Bob." Ylis says, casting Silvery Barbs forcing the bulezao to re-roll it's attack on Sky.

(oops I forgot I don't get a reroll ... demon might miss :P  Let's hope)

(also P.S. - @Wysperra you get to give someone Advantage)

Ylis CON save vs BO 9

Luna CON save vs BO 0

Morgan's CON saves 13 against the curse, and 20 against the third attack (for the second attack, he uses shield, so the attack misses, no need for the saving). 

In total, Morgan takes 15 points of damage.

He uses Bless (from fey touched, no spell slot), on Frekor, Nivi, and Sky. Then, he casts misty step out of the room and try to run out of the stench area (direction east).

(And recharge tide of chaos, rolling on the wild magic table: 63

For the next minute, any flammable, nonmagical object you touch that isn’t being worn or carried by another creature bursts into flame, takes 1d4 Fire damage, and is burning.)

Ylis gives Nivi Advantage for a save, attack or ability check for 1 minute 1 use.

 DM: A note. Going forward, unless it is Heroic Inspiration, Motes of Possibility, or a feature that specifically says you can do it after the roll, you will be giving Advantages before the person rolls.

( OOC: Frekor's Wisdom first save: 8,  6+2.    Second save: 10,   8+2.    Heroic inspiration:  20,  18+2.   With that Frekor succeeded the save. Thank god I had the inspiration.)

(OOC: Constitution save: 15,  13+2. Frekor doesn't suffer necrotic damage.)

Frekor looks at the succubus with a smile.

-We just met, at least buy me dinner first before ordering me around.- says the ranger before winking at the creature mockingly. he then looks at the Bulezau.

-Now you. You should've remained dead.- adds before slashing it with his scimitar (opportunity attack to hit: 15,  8+7. extra dice from Bless: 1.   Damage: 7,  3+4. Slashing damage)

He then stabed it with his shortsword. (First attack: 27,  20+7.   Damage: 10,  3+3+4. Piercing damage.  Using Vex for the next attack.)

Right after stabing the creature, Frekor slashes it with his scimitar. (With Nick mastery: 1º to hit: 20,  13+7.   2º to hit: 18,  11+7.   Keeping first roll.   Damage: 9,  5+4. Slashing damage)

He then stabbed it for a third time (Second attack: To hit: 18,  11+7.   Damage: 6,    2+4. Piercing damage)

The speed of his flurry of attacks made extra damage than if they were done separately.  (Colossus Slayer: 3)

(OOC: I didn't roll the extra dice from Bless every time because the rolls were naturally high. All but the opportunity attack were over 18, the opportunity attack was 15, but if Bless doesn't count for that one, then it's fine.)

(OOC: Also, I did not plan ahead to have a +7 to all the attacks. I'll probably roll poorly soon and will be happy with the extra +7 hahahaha)

(OOC: The blessing we got from the drow working at the graveyard ... that's one such where we can declare it after our roll, right?)
