Mister_Whisker Presents: Chronicles of the Accursed

“Have some pie!”

Robin turns invisible, rising silently from the floor before dropping a pie onto Thug 2’s head.

At the same moment, Balthathar bursts from cover and strikes the bandit.

(Honestly. Learn when to keep your head down.)

As if to demonstrate, he slips back behind the chair, ducking into cover once more.

Attack: 26 Damage: 6

OOC: The damage isn’t correct—Balthathar’s modifier is +6, so I’ll reroll.

(Thug 2 was already down, so Thug 3 takes the damage)

Thug 3 grunts in pain. His eyes burn with fury.

Brynja is up!

If Thorgath is down, Brynja will revive him with Lay on Hands. Then she'll throw a javelin at the pesky mage who's trying to burn her. 

Bonus action, heal Thorgath 1 HP if needed (let me know if it was needed so I can record the charge used)

Attack 11 for 8 piercing damage. Maybe it will come close enough to rattle him...

If Thorgath was down, Brynja will say, "I can keep reviving him as many times as it takes." in an effort to make them concentrate on her.

The bandit mage lets out a grunt of frustration, then hurls a blast of lightning at Brynja!

Witch Bolt vs. Brynja
Attack: 15 Damage: 14 lightning

(Thorgath would use the Bloodied but Unbowed feature as a reaction to the first attack, down to 2 hp but still standing :-)

Witch Bolt vs. Brynja
Attack: 20 Damage: 8 lightning

The bolt whizzes past Brynja, but the air hums with electricity.

Robin is up!

“Oh? Not a fan of the pie?”

The unseen girl giggles.

“Maybe some wine will help it go down.”

Ready Action:

Robin prepares to Help Balthathar on his next attack.

The remaining thug, clearly done with everything, vaults over the table and lands next to Balthathar. He swings his mace twice at the Warlock. (He is entering melee and Balthathar is no longer protected from his attacks by cover)

Mace vs. Balthathar
Attack: 12 Damage: 7
Attack: 22 Damage: 7

One of the thug's attacks hits Balthathar hard!

"Go down already, you little ****!" The thug growls.

Abishai and Dhamila are up now!

Abishai had watched as the giant goliath took hit after hit. Had watched Brynja fend off blow after blow. He was glad the aggression wasn't directed at him and the only way to ensure that would continue was to keep these two up. He'd been working tirelessly on a proprietary serum directly injected into the skin to knit fresh wounds back together, but so far he'd only tested it on animals. Judging by the blood pouring from Thorgath, no greater time would present itself. The Red Dragonborn moves to stand behind the brute and stabs the Goliath with a giant needle. He then throws a small paper sack at the bandit magus that, upon impact, burns with a white fire.

[[OOC: Action: Cure Wounds on Thorgath healing for 11hp. Bonus Action Spellfire Spark: Sacred Flame on the gnome mage. DC 13 Dex save taking 8 radiant damage on a failure.]]

Round 2

Dhamila doesn't approve of the thug's move and decides to make it clear: she takes aim with her Shortbow, and out of nowhere, another arrow shoots toward the scoundrel's stomach.

After that, the Runaway Tiefling shifts her stance as usual, with a mischievous, amused smile, thinking: 'I almost feel like I'm back to when I used to play hide-and-seek as a child... except that hiding, with this ring, is so terribly easy and fun!'

Dhamila's Shortbow Attack: 14 Damage: 7 (piercing) + 5 (sneak attack) = 12

Mage dex save: 7

Con save: 11

Suddenly, you hear a commotion at the main doorway... it seems that the sound of battle has gotten the attention of the bandits stationed in the West tower

Dhamila

Bloodied but unbowed, the massive heavily tattooed and severely wounded goliath lets out another roar before resuming his relentless onslaught on the one-eyed brigand boss, hoping to bring him down to discourage the reinforcements to join battle.

Elbow to cheek: 21 Bludgeoning: 11 (non-lethal, sap)
One punch: 16 Bludgeoning: 17 (non-lethal, sap)
Another punch: 26 Bludgeoning: 15 (non-lethal, sap)

(Moxie point for One-Two punch)

The flurry of blows leaves Lar badly bloodied... but his armor absorbs some of the punishment as he sways on his feet. With a cry of rage, he stabs at Thorgath twice with his rapier.

Rapier vs. Thorgath
Attack: 18 Damage: 8
Attack: 14 Damage: 9

If the first attack hits, the second attack is at advantage, so here's a second roll: 11

As a bonus action, Lar uses Second Wind to regain 9 hit points.

(Thorgath uses his last Stone endurance to just soak the first attack while the second actually misses :-)
