Training grounds - round 1

(Will try to do it without maps. If you get confused, just ask.)

Bommie is just inside the doorway of the dojo, with rapier drawn. Everyone is inside the building. Jack is already in melee range, Trim is 10' away, and everyone else is 15' away. (The Zone of Truth is still active, if that makes a difference.) The bullding is like a 80' x 40' rectangle, and the main entrance is at the center of the northern long side. There is another exit along the shorter western side, 40' away.

Reverie has informed everyone that "Bommie" is not fiend, celestial, or undead. She has also communicated the results of Detect Magic (post 2386).

The torch is 30' outside the building (north). Despite lying in a trace of snow on the ground, the blue-purple magic flame is still bright (like a road flare).

The entire party is up, followed by Bommie. (Actions will resolve in this order - Jack, Froskan, Trim, Reverie, Isk)

Jack runs to Bommie and tries to grapple her (has she consented or saved?). If she’s not within range of ZoT, Jack drags her into it.

Athletics:21

Trimyrai still not sure what is happening with Bommie will try to persuade her to stop fighting.

Movement: no movement this turn.

Action: Trimyrai: (to Bommie) "Why are you doing this? Please stop before someone gets hurt." Persuasion: 10

Bonus Action: no bonus action this turn.

(In post 2383, she willfully resisted the spell before combat started.) Bommie athletics: 24 (OOC: That makes 2 consecutive 20s vs. Jack. Sorry.)

Bommie stands just outside the Zone of Truth, but blocking the dojo doorway. Jack grabs her right arm (without the weapon), and she pulls free... Jack knew during training that Bommie was holding back, but he didn't suspect she had this level of strength.

Trim pleads with Bommie, and gets a sneer in response. "You fools! When I get the bounty for your heads to go with the payment I already got " (slaps a pouch at her side, which jingles with coins) "I'll be sure to have a big drink in your honor... so I can piss on your graves!" (You suspect that Trim's persuasion did not work.)

(Reminder that Reverie has told you, after casting Detect Magic, that Bommie's body and clothing is sheathed in Transmutation magic. No charm magic detected.)

(Froskan, Isk, and Reverie are still up. Froskan is normally busy on the weekends, so I'll probably have him do a Frostbite, unless someone makes a different suggestion.)

OoC - has it been less than an hour since the Ogre fight? (To see if I still have hex up it not)

(It is less than an hour. But Isk was hit by the zombie. CON save vs DC 10 to see if he maintained concentration.)

(Wow, my posts got all scrambled. Weird. I just looked back and read everything in the right order. Ignore everything about the Divine Sense Jack said. Oops :) )

Reverie frowns at the fake Bommie, and yet she quickly moves to the magic torch. She is wondering if she could see just the water could douse this magic torch.

Investigation - 20

(Reverie: Moving by "Bommie" will give her an attack of opportunity. Do you still wish to do that? The torch is lying in a pile of snow, and still burning brightly.)

(Since Froskan goes before Reverie, Ill see if I can save her the decision)

Seeing the oddly-colored torch flame still burning in the snow, and knowing that Bommie tossing it out couldn't have been for any good reason, Froskan moves closer to the door (assuming I can get within 30 feet of the torch without giving Bommie an AoO, even if it does leave me in melee with her) and casts Mold Earth to grab a 5 foot cube of dirt from next to the torch and move it to deposit it on the torch to bury it, hopefully smothering the flame in the process, but even if it somehow continues to burn due to magic, then perhaps hiding it from view.

(OOC: Sorry that your computer is still not fully functional.)

Froskan has to move within melee range, but casts the spell to pull the torch under the earth and mound dirt on top of it. The "road flare" can no longer be seen. The outer training area is back to normal dim lighting (from the torches that were placed along the outer wall earlier in the evening).

(Iskander and Reverie are still up. Iskander should make the concentration roll for the Hex, which I forgot to ask for in the previous combat. Reverie can choose a new action, instead of moving to the now-buried torch.)

CON Save: 11

OoC - Just barely, huzzah

Eldritch energy begins coiling around Isk's left hand, "We may not need to kill her, but we definitely need to change her mind about killing us." he says, and then unleashes the bolt of energy at Bommie. Attack: 10 Damage: 3 + 1 of hex damage.

(Since Froskan buried the torch, I'll have Reverie make a standard double attack.)

Player actions:

• Jack - is unable to grapple Bommie (post 2397)
• Froskan - has to move next to Bommie. He uses Move Earth to bury the magic torch in the courtyard under a few feet of dirt.
• Trim - is unable to talk Bommie into calming down (post 2397)
• Reverie - moves to Bommie and does two-weapon fighting. Scimitar attack: 7 Damage: 9; bonus action Dagger Attack: 7 Damage: 3  (both hits)
• Isk - transfers his Hex to Bommie (still concentrating). She avoids his eldritch blast.

Foe action:

Seeing Froskan casting a spell, Bommie tries to

• stab him with the rapier - Attack: 23 Damage: 8  (hits)
• and club him with her other arm - Attack: 17 Damage: 6 (misses)

Bommie (OOC: and the DM) is surprised that the light of the torch is out. Muttering some curse under her breath, she runs into the courtyard. Seeing a large mound of dirt & rocks where the torch used to be, she yells out to the night sky: "Here! The five you seek are here!"

Round 2 of the training grounds fight

Reverie hit Bommie twice for 12 damage.

Froskan deflected Bommie's left arm, but the rapier stabs him in the side for 8 damage.

Bommie ran into the open courtyard. Froskan, Jack, and Reverie get attacks of opportunity for last round. Since Jack was trying to grapple last round, he has to throw a punch (+3 to hit for 2 damage).

All party members are up. (Same initiative as last round.)

"Of course," Reverie snarls, frowning as she attacks Bommie again with her scimitar.

Attack, Scimitar - 10 Damage - 6

(COME ON DICE! WHY!)

Trimyrai remembering Reverie's words, figures out that this "Bommie" can't be the real bommie, and will fight. (plus the fact that she is attacking and trimyrai will help his friends and allies)

Movement: no movement this turn.

Action: Attack: (range 150 (600) ) 14 (attack with longbow/piercing) 

Damage: (if it hits) 7 (piercing damage)

Bonus Action: no bonus action this turn

(Reverie: That was only the round 1 attack of opportunity. She can still move forward in round 2 and do the normal attacks with two hands.

Trimyrai: 14 is the number you needed to hit.)

  ( Okie dokes, next time I shall do better! )

If Isk is able to close the distance on Bommie and get within 10 feet, he will, and attack with his glaive.

Glaive Attack: 12 Damage: 9 + 2 necrotic damage.

If he is too far away, then he'll move as far as he can and throw another Eldritch Blast at her. (That would be a 16 for attack roll and 9+4 for the damage from the damage roll).

(Trim and Isk have posted for round 2 of the current Bommie fight.

Reverie did the attack of opportunity for round 1, but still can post round 2 actions.

Jack can post an attack of opportunity (unarmed strike), plus the round 2 actions.

Froskan can post an attack of opportunity for round 1, plus the round 2 actions.)
