(OOC: Well, the savage demons aren't intimidated. But I should have been clearer, Darvin took a few steps back during his speech. His actions are more like posturing. "You're lucky that I have to leave for my tap-dance lessons, otherwise I'd really let you have it!")

OoC - lol, the dreaded wrath of the tap dance!

OOC: Due to your mockery, I am now seriously considering having the party fight the Lord of the Dance, at some later opportunity. YouTube link for Lord of the Dance finale.

(Lol, Dancing Fury is the bard’s Job!)

Init 17

Jack rests his hand on the sheath of Leroy. More demons. Great. “Ye won’t take over the city anytime soon. Not with ugly beasts like that.”

(Oh dear, Tap dance of the Wrath lol I am very interested XDD)

Initiative - 15

Reverie sighs as both of her hands rest unto her scimitars. "Take over the city... How funny."

Some DM rolls

Situation for Round 1:

Iskander and Reverie have their weapons out. Trimyrai is holding a rapier, but he can drop that and have his bow ready as part of his Attack action.

Jack is hidden, and Froskan is being ignored. They will get Advantage on their attack rolls (unless they do something to draw attention to themselves, before the attack).

The pair of Barlgura demons are large sized. The woman (W), Warton (Wa), and Darvin (Da) are ready for combat. Mortimer (M) is crouching down behind his counter, and slinking towards the wall. The 2 peasants near the fire are looking for somewhere to hide, while the other 3 peasants (P3, P4, P5) are still prone and terrified.

The Barlgura demons start reaching for the peasants on the ground, but the creepy woman raps them on the knuckles with her staff. "No, bad demons! These 3 go with us. Keep the shopkeeper alive. The store itself and the others are yours." The demons start smashing the nearby shelves, and eyeing everyone else in the store.

Initiative order: Iskander, Jack ; (Bane people: W, Wa, Da) ; Trimyrai, Reverie, Froskan ; (Barlgura Demons) ; (Mort & peasants)

Iskander and Jack are up.

Isk squares his stance and lets his glaive fly at the nearest demon!

• Move: None
• Bonus Action: Hex on B1, cursing his strength
• Action: Long range glaive attacks!
  • First Attack: 12 Damage: 11 + 2 necrotic damage
  • Second Attack: 10 Damage: 16 + 1 necrotic damage

(Barlgura have AC 15, so both of Iskander's strikes hit.

Jack is still up.)

Jack reveals his Boom-erang. Quite a useful weapon for when you’re concealed.

With a smile, the Boom-erang will soar through the air at B1, swiftly followed with a 2nd, normal boomerang. “Take this, ye Demons of Bane!”

Boom-erang Attack: 16 Damage: 12
Normal Boomerang Attack: 8 Damage: 3

Iskander strikes twice, dealing a total of 32 Hex-enhanced damage.

Jack's boom-erang hits the B1 Barlgura in the back with a thunderous explosion. (Kind of like the exploding bat-erangs in the Batman cartoons.) The Barlgura turns its head, just in time to get a 2nd boomerang bouncing off its forehead. Damage from Jack: another 23 points

B1 is looking beat-up, but still has fight left in it.

Darvin and Warton grab 2 of the peasants on the ground (P4, P5) and drag them south 15', through the doors and outside of the shop. The creepy woman follows behind them. She points her grey staff at the entrance, which is now clogged by an ice boulder from a wall of ice. (On the map in post 3581, the spaces that used to be occupied by Wa and Da, the doors south of those squares, and the exterior south of the doors are all filled with ice.)

Trimyrai, Reverie, and Froskan are up.

Trimyrai is going to move into melee range of the strange woman and then attack her with his rapier.

Trimyrai: (to the bad guys) "I warned you."

Attack 1: 18

Damage 1(if it hits): 6

Attack 2: 21

Damage 2(if it hits): 7

(Sorry if the description was unclear. On their turn in this round, creepy woman, Darvin, and Warton dragged two peasants outside the shop (moving south), and now there is a wall of ice blocking the entrance of the shop.

It is not possible to get within melee range of the woman, who is also outside the shop.

Trimyrai can go for either B1 (hurt bad) or B2 (unhurt) demons. Or interact with the peasants still there (P1, P2, P3), Mort. Or start hacking at the ice wall.)

“Someone should get on that wall!” Jack shouts. “We don’t know what they’re going to do to them!”

(OOC: in that case Trimyrai will attack B1)

(OOC: instead of saying the above Trimyrai will say this) Trimyrai: (to the demons[in Infernal]) "You picked the wrong place to attack!"

 (sorry for my absence, had a rather busy long weekend.  Considering my turn now...)

"On it!" Froskan calls in response to Jack's suggestion.  Turning to examine the wall, he feels like he should be better equipped to do something about it given his own affinity to cold, but can't come up with anything beyond simply throwing fire at it.  Rolling his hands around each other, he conjures a large ball of roiling flame and launches it at the wall right where the door was located.

Third level Chromatic Orb (fire): Attack: 17 Damage: 19

(OOC: instead of saying the above Trimyrai will say this) Trimyrai: (to the demons[in Infernal]) "You picked the wrong place to attack!"

Trimyrai stabs it the first time (66 total damage to the B1 demon) and shouts at it in Infernal. It does not understand the words. It bares its teeth at Trim to give a gorilla-like threat display. Trim does not like this, stabs the demon a second time (71 damage total). The B1 demon lurches into the nearest store shelf, scattering goods in its death throes. (B1 is dead.) Ichor flows from its wounds, spreading a skunk like stench near it. (No effect on combat, but it smells really bad.)

Froskan's fire orb blasts the wall of ice by the entrance (38 damage due to fire vulnerability). That gets about 2/3rds the way through the ice barrier.

(Reverie to go , then the unharmed B2 demon.)

Reverie frowns as she watches her potential enemies taking the peasants along with them. Cursing under her breathe, she holds her two scimitars. “We probably need someone to help Froskan!” She says as she attacks on B2.

Attack, Berserker Scimitar - 10 Damage - 8
Attack, Berserker Scimitar - 16 Damage - 10
Bonus Attack, Scimitar - 21 Damage - 6

Reverie hits the remaining Barlgura demon with her berserker scimitar, for 13 damage. (Still a lot of health, but a good start.)

The demon will use one of its attacks to try to shove Reverie away from it.  Demon athletics 11 vs. Reverie acrobatics 4

The demon was looking at Froskan trying to break through the ice barrier. If it could push Reverie aside, it would leap at Froskan to attack him. Reverie holds her ground, blocking the path of the demon. Frustrated, the Barlgura bites and punches at her.

• Bite Attack: 8 Damage: 16 piercing  (hit)
• Punch Attack: 24 Damage: 12 bludgeoning  (hit)

The peasant on the ground crawls to the southeast. The other two move to the northeast corner, trying to stay behind shelves for cover. Mort (in the southwest corner) is sliding along the wall towards the north stairs.

Start of Round 2:

The woman (W), Warton (Wa), and Darvin (Da) are outside the shop, with 2 of the peasants.

The B1 demon is dead. (It had between 65 and 70 hp.) The B2 demon has taken 13 damage.

Reverie has taken 20 damage (is now at 24 hp), and she kept the B2 demon from leaping at Froskan.

There is an ice wall blocking the entrance of the shop. Froskan did 38 fire damage, breaking down 10' of the 15' ice blockade.

Initiative order: Iskander, Jack ; (Bane people: W, Wa, Da) ; Trimyrai, Reverie, Froskan ; (Barlgura Demon) ; (Mort & peasants)

Iskander and Jack are up.
