Mister_Whisker Presents: Chronicles of the Accursed

Brynja move up to support Thorgath, saying "Evil like cannot be allowed to exist!" she strikes at Lar with her warhammer. 

Attack 25 (crit) for 15 bludgeoning damage (rolls in game log)

Brynja is satisfied that she got a substantial hit on Lar.

Lar grunts in pain from Brynja's hit. But... the mage is up, and he focuses on Brynja.

He utters an incantation, and three beams if flame fly towards the Paladin!

Scorching Ray vs. Brynja:
Attack: 12 Damage: 7 fire
Attack: 11 Damage: 6 fire
Attack: 11 Damage: 10 fire

If any of the three hit, Brynja takes an additional 5 necrotic damage as her cursed armor hits her with a magical backlash.

And he completely whiffs. Robin is up!

Quote from Gaiou >>

Balthathar steps 5 feet north, then 15 feet west, striking at the bleeding thug across the table (if the table is wider than 5 feet, he fires Eldritch Blast instead).

Glaive Attack: 27 Damage: 15

Eldritch Blast Attack: 6 Damage: 5

Dropping into cover behind a chair, he calls out,

“Wake up, big guy!”

Bonus Action: Healing Word to Thorgath

8

 

The thug grunts, but remains standing.

(Thorgath Stone Endurance for first attack soaking 10 damage.)

Balthathar finds his familiar sitting beside him, casually eating leftovers from the dining table.

“What are you doing—having dinner?!”

“Yes. I’m hungry. You should try the chicken, Master. It’s amazing!”

“Are you out of your mind—? …Oh. That is good. What’s this sauce? Mushroom?”

“Told you! Though the pie and wine are just average. Still… I have a better use for them.”

The little girl grins mischievously, wiping her hands on her apron.

Ready Action:

Robin will use the Help action to grant Dhamila advantage on her next attack by dropping a pie on the enemy's head. If Dhamila already has advantage (e.g., from invisibility), Robin instead grants it to Balthathar.

Yes, thank you very much, but as you guessed, since Dhamila can attack and still remain invisible, she has always Advantage... so it's better if Robin helps someone else.

Thug 2 takes two swings at Thorgath (with advantage, thanks to Pack Tactics)

Thug 2 vs. Thorgath
Attack: 17 Damage: 4 bludgeoning
Attack: 23 Damage: 7 bludgeoning

Thug 3 turns his attention towards Balthathar and raises a crossbow, letting loose an arrow.

Thug 3 vs. Balthathar
Attack: 15 Damage: 9 piercing

The thugs have taken their turn... and it looks like every attack struck home! The thug with the crossbow lets out a satisfied chuckle as he watches his arrow bury itself in Balthathar.

Dhamila and Abishai are up now!

Round 1

Dhamila focuses on the thug who has already taken a few hits [[ OOC: Thug 2 ]] and takes aim with her Shortbow. An arrow then suddenly appears out of nowhere and hurtles toward the unfortunate scoundrel.

The Runaway Tiefling immediately changes position, always invisible, perhaps heading toward the stairs so she can still see all her targets without any problems.

Dhamila's Shortbow Attack: 9 Damage: 7 (piercing) + 3 (sneak attack) = 10

Quote from Painted_Beyond >>

Dhamila's Shortbow Attack: 20 Damage: 8 (piercing) + 3 (sneak attack) = 11

Round 1

'The voice I made you hear might not have exactly come from beyond the grave...' the Creepy Girl thinks, as she smiles, half wicked, half pleased. 'But it wasn't lying! You're all really about to be killed, you heartless b4st4rds!'

Thug 3 vs. Balthathar
Attack: 15 Damage: 9 piercing

Balthathar is crouched behind the table and chair. If that counts as half cover, his AC is 16. The arrow slams into the chair, splintering the wood just inches from his face.

The arrow strikes true, staggering the thug. But he stays standing... just barely.

 Got it. The arrow barely misses Balthathar.

Abishai takes advantage of the pied enemy while changing his focus crystal to red. A fire bolt flies at the same thug as the creepy girl's arrow. 

Attack 22 damage 3 fire 

Thug 2 is looking badly battered, but still standing, even after Abishai's firebolt. He's starting to look a bit panicked.



Thorgath is up!

"Stay out of this!!" The massive heavily tattooed goliath growls at the closest thug that dares interfere, throwing a haymaker at him.

Haymaker to get rid of annoying distraction:16 Bludgeoning: 10 (non-lethal)

He then turns his full attention to the one-eyed brigand leader, headbutting the man with a loud roar.

Headbutt: 15  Bludgeoning: 12 (non-lethal, sap)



(OMG, the rolls :-P)

The thug goes down with a loud thud. But Lar is not in a good mood...

"Your elven friend can't keep you standing forever!" Lar exclaims, pointing his rapier at Thorgath. He then strikes twice.

Rapier vs. Thorgath
(sap disadvantage) Attack: 18 Damage: 12 piercing
Attack: 13 Damage: 9

The bandit lord then action surges to strike twice at Brynja!

Rapier vs. Brynja
Attack: 15 Damage: 8 piercing
Attack: 9 Damage: 14 piercing

The second attack that Lar makes against Thorgath is at advantage due to the Vex weapon mastery. If Thorgath goes down, he will instead turn it on Brynja.
