Af uses his 30' of movement to get to the SW corner of the Vine Blight. He is able to get an angle that also targets the 2 Twig Blights. The Twigs are turned to ashes by the cone of flame. (Even if they made their DEX save to halve the damage, being vulnerable to fire doubles it.)

Vine Blight DEX save 0

The Vine Blight takes the flame right in the face. (It has now taken a total of 18 points of damage this round.)

(Theren acts, then Reverie. Froskan's ray of frost is now targeting the vine blight, unless he changes his mind before his turn to act.)

(Someone target the needle blights. We get opportunity attacks on the vine blight. That should kill it, right?)

STR check - 20

If it passed,

Reverie swing her scimitar towards the vine blight.

Attack, scimitar- 24 Damage - 3

STR Check - 14

Theren will draw his swords and join Reverie in battle, trying to catch the vine blight she is fighting from the side with two stabbing thrusts with his blades.

Attack: 6 Damage: 8

Attack: 15 Damage: 1

Sneak Attack (on hit, enemy of target within 5ft): 6

End of Round 1

Reverie's scimitar blow and Theren's well placed left-hand skewer (including sneak attack) are just enough to finish off the vine blight, which has been chopped to smoldering pieces.

Froskan targets the same Needle Blight that Jupiter hex-ed. The ray of frost hits for 2 points.

Beginning of Round 2

The new threats to the south are now visible.

To the southeast, a construct of branches and dry willow and humanoid bones runs out. This caricature of a Scarecrow is determined to slice the group with its claws next round. For this round, it uses its Terrifying Gaze on Jack.

To the south-southwest, an Awakened Tree, about 25 feet tall, pushes aside the other trees in its path. Its size, clubbing arms, and bark covering will make it difficult to take down. (It goes at the end of initiative order.)

The 2 needle blights move to keep the group encircled. They shoot needles at the closest people.

Versus Af - Attack: 13 Damage: 9

Versus Reverie - Attack: 13 Damage: 5

Current state of round 2

(The remains of the 3 twig blights and the vine blight are smoldering on the ground.)

The spray of needles are deflected by the armor worn by Af and Reverie.

Jack must make a DC 11 WIS saving throw, or he will be paralyzed with fear for this round.

Initiative Order: Scarecrow (done), 2 Needle Blights (done), Jupiter, Katrina, Jack, Af, Theren, Reverie, Froskan, Awakened Tree

Wisdom:14

The scarecrow cannot scare him. Jack has seen worse things, and shrugs off the attempt.

Jack knows better than to worry. He shouts out some orders first thing before anyone does anything. "Okay! See that treezilla? Everyone, focus on that! Cast all your fire spells! It is the most dangerous, so it should die first!"

Good thing that her armour saved her from the spray of the needles, she could've been impaled if she did not prepare herself fully for this scout. As soon as the attack seems ceased, she pulls out her dagger on another hand before she moves and swings her scimitar to Needle Blight #1. Then, her dagger pierces into it once again.

Move to Needle Blight #1

Attack, Dagger - 18 Damage - 5
Attack, Scimitar - 19 Damage - 7

As the Scarecrow is closest, Jupiter darts towards it and hits it with a kick, spinning on his feet and another kick to the abdomen.

Movement - Toward Scarecrow

Action - Attack Unarmed 14 / Damage - 7

Bonus Action - Attack Unarmed 17 / Damage - 6

"Burn!" Jack starts beating his drum and casts Vicious Mockerey on the awakened tree.

1. We are some scouts who won't die
2. shoot Fire at every guy
3. Kill the UGLY tree
4. Make it fry!

dc 13 wisdom save . On fail... Take 2 damage and have disadvantage on attack roll next turn.

Jack Backs up behind Katrina and reverie. (On the map)

Jacks song inspires everyone, but Af the most. (Gain a bardic inspiration, af)

Jupiter gets a solid blow from his kick, but realizes that he isn't doing as much damage as he expected. That startles him, and he misses the follow-up kick.

(OOC: Scarecrows have resistance to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing attacks, and took half-damage.

Katrina acts next, but I'll do the WIS save by the tree now.)

AT WIS save for Jack's spell 8

(Edit: Jack's songs have been very effective. And Af has a d6 bard inspiration die.)

( I like to imagine consecutive songs all go by the same tune. That way, as long as it keeps working, more songs! Yay!)

(Sorry all, just don't have time to keep up with this one anymore - think I took on too many PbP at once not expecting to get all of them. Good luck and enjoy!)

Noooooooooooooooo!

R.I.P

Jupiter

 (Sorry to hear that, SNViolent. Thanks for joining, and good luck with your other campaigns.)

(For the rest of the party...I will take actions for Jupiter to finish out this combat. After that, your group will be 6.)

((Aw, bye SNViolent. It was fun while it lasted! Also, on an unrelated note, should there be fires starting to spread around where Katrina first cast bonfire? Considering it doesn't just target enemies, but also lights anything flammable in the radius on fire, and there are a lot of plants around?))

Katrian nods at Jack's suggestion, facing the tree. It is only just within range of her only offensive spell (which she is very glad is a cantrip, so she can ast it as many times as she wants). She stands her ground and casts Create Bonfire once more, aiming for the big tree. Hopefully if it hits, the tree will catch fire and keep burning even past the initial blast.

Spell, Create Bonfire - DEX saving throw 11 to dodge. Damage - 4

(Also, on an unrelated note, should there be fires starting to spread around where Katrina first cast bonfire? Considering it doesn't just target enemies, but also lights anything flammable in the radius on fire, and there are a lot of plants around?))

 (It was raining earlier and the previous day. Not all of the plant enemies are vulnerable to fire, like the Vine and Needle Blights, so I ruled that the wet vegetation won't burn out of control. You are right that there are likely spot fires along the northern edge of the clearing, so I'll have people avoid that region. You only have to worry about a forest fire if you are spamming Bonfires in the same spot.)

AT DEX save to avoid Bonfire: 16 (OOC: yeeeeaaahh)

The Awakened Tree flares up more than Katrina was expecting (double damage), but the fire is contained when it splashes mud on itself. (That will be its Action at the end of the round.)  Jack literally yells out "BURN!", and then mocks it with a song, which really hurts the Tree's feelings. (12 + 2 damage to the tree)

(Round 2 status: Af, Theren, Reverie, Froskan up next, then the ATree. Reverie has pre-posted her attacks.)

You know jack so well.

(Bye, SNViolent. ;-; Hopefully, we can meet again!)
