Theren draws one of his swords and ducks in behind the wagon to try get himself out of sight.

Cunning Action: Stealth: 24

He then draws a dagger and throws it from cover at the bandits in B1.

Attack: 12 Damage: 6

Sneak Attack: 5

"I wasn't expecting Ogres when I said that bandits shouldn't be a problem.  Guess I get to try out some new tricks..." Froskan says as he steps forward to get close enough to launch a frozen Chromatic Orb (cold) at the half-ogre up the street, then ducks back behind the cart by Theron.

(By my count, I'm about 105-110 feet from H2, chromatic orb has a 90 foot range, so move 15-20 feet forward to launch orb at H2, then move back behind the wagon for cover against ranged attacks)

Attack: 6 Damage: 10 (That's like my fourth natural one today on here)

Reverie ducks behind the wagon because of the crossbow bolts. Before she moves to behind of the crates nearby B2, she uses her Shield of Faith on Katrina. Then she throws her dagger to T2.

Moves toward the crates nearby B2.
Attack, Dagger - 21 Damage - 5
Cast a spell, Shield of Faith

Jack moves up to where he can see H2. He casts Earth Tremor on them, hoping to make them prone for future attacks.

1. Break! The earth!
2. Shatter it upon impact!
3. Destroy your enemies! 
4. Make them all fall down
5. for they are the scum of world.
6. So protect every boy and girl!

(Note for Reverie and Theren: The dagger has a normal range of 20'. Between 20 and 60 ft, your attacks will have disadvantage. I'll use your rolls for this round, but remember to apply the range rules for future combats.)

(Note for Jack: I need you to choose your round again. Jack does not know Earth Tremor, based on the character sheet,. And even if he did, that spell only has a 10' range.)

Reverie casts the Shield onto Katrina, then moves 25' to the NE, crouching behind some crates. She throws her dagger towards the bandits at B2 and hits, wounding one of the two.

The Bandit Captain curses to himself. The only ones with ranged weapons were the regular bandits, and the idiots shot before the rest of them were in melee range. He Dashes to double move 60'. He is now 2 squares W and 1 square N of the current position of half-ogre #1, and crouched behind the table for cover.

(Jack will go later.) Theren throws a dagger at one of the B1 bandits. They are barely within the dagger range, and it just hits one of them. (No sneak attack possible this round.) He pretends to be running north, ducks down behind the wagon, and crouches underneath it, concealed in the shadows (about 5' east of where he started).

Froskan steps 15' east, and launches a spell at H2. Despite being 8' tall and 450 pounds, it moves quickly, and is able to see the Orb coming and evade it. Froskan takes cover behind the wagon, about 5' north of Theren's previous position.

The thugs and half-ogres use Dash to double move. H1 is now 15' SE of Theren's previous position. T1 and H2 move 60' directly west. T2 moves 50' west, 10' south (about 15' away from Reverie's position).

Round 1 continues: Jack (re-do action), Katrina, Af are up, then the regular bandits to end the round. 

Oh. Well that's embarrassing. I could have sworn I learned it. Oh well.

Jack beats on his drum and casts dissonant whispers(10)on h2. He moves as close as he can to them.

1. It's like 1,2,3, simple as can be
2. the way you die by me makes me smile.
3. doesnt have to be complicated, it is overated
4. now get away from the caravans, it'll be worth your while

if he can't get cast dissonant whispers at H2, he'll dash to those table things on the map.

(Half-ogre WIS save vs. Jack's spell: 12 )

Jack's actions for round 1: move 25' east and 10' north, in the corner of the wagon and a table (for cover).

(Retro-action) Jack waited until Half-Ogre #2 was within 60' of his new position, and started up his song. It put its hands over its ears, and for a moment it doesn't look like the spell is working. But then, it howls in pain, the hands now clutching its skull. It turns around and flees east. Besides the 10 points of damage, its new position is 15' east of where it started on the map (in post 264).

(What do you mean by retro action?)

(What do you mean by retro action?)

 (OOC: I had H2 move, in post 269. Jack acted before H2, so this was a retroactive change for what H2 did.)

Af Brazenell

Once the half-ogre (H1) comes into view, Af grabs his holy symbol and casts Sacred Flame. 8 Radiant Damage,

He then moves NE about 30 feet. He takes cover behind barrels, crates, and the wagon. He smells the whiff of fish not far from the spot. He notices that he hasn't eaten. He readies his shield and his mace, with a bit of a gurgle in his stomach. "Not now." He says to himself.

Katrina swears under her breath, snapping the arrow's shaft so that it doesn't get in the way. She's not stupid enough to try to dig the arrowhead out, though, even if the pain will make casting anything that requires movment difficult. Speaking of movement, she finds herself too far away from the fighting to be of much use. She runs to the boxes east of her andtakes cover.

((Sorry, finding it really hard to get in character for some reason Doesn't help that I suck at visualizing where things are on the map once they start moving around, so I don't actually know where anyone/anything is right now.))

 (Yeah, thinking how to best do the map. I thought at the top of each round would be enough, but probably not.

There will be moments to role-play throughout the combat, so don't worry if there are some rounds where all you say is "Move here. Attack there."

You can choose to use your crossbow, and say "nearest enemy", or "most wounded enemy", or "half-ogre unless it is under cover", and I'll do the targeting for you. Same for an offensive spell.)

((Oh cool, in that case:))

Katrina casts Chromatic Orb at the nearest enemy.

Spell, Chromatic Orb - 22. Damage - 18 (Acid damage)

(For round 2, I will put a map in post #279, and update it as actions are taken. So if it seems like that map is different from the last time you saw it... That is why.)

Katrina moves behind some crates, and sees the half-ogre H1 within range. A sticky green glob flies from her hand, and it hits H1 in the chest. It howls in pain from the acid. (Good amount of damage, but it is still combat-ready.)

Af tries to target the same spot with divine light. (Half-ogre DEX save: 19 ) Just missed.

The other bandits are little more than peasants who have turned to crime. They move 30' closer to the party, shoot with their slings and crossbows, and then drop them to pull their crude hand weapons. Reverie is targeted by both bandits at B2. The others take a shot at Jack, Af, Froskan, and Katrina. Half of the attacks are with slings, who get disadvantage due to the range. (If they hit, 4 damage.)

Reverie: 18 7 , Jack: 12, Af: 9, Froskan: 11, Katrina: 13

Jack is hit for 4 points. (But it isn't his drumming arm, so shrugs it off.) The other shots scatter off the wagon and crates.

End of round 1. Start of round 2

Notes: Katrina and Jack took 4 damage total. Two of the bandits (in B1, B2) took dagger damage. Half-ogre1 took 18 points of acid, half-ogre2 10 points of psychic.

Initiative Order: Reverie, captain, Jack, Theren, Froskan, 2 half-ogres, 2 thugs, Katrina, Af, 6 bandits

Reverie, captain, Jack, Theren, Froskan, half-ogres, thugs, Katrina have acted

Af, bandits are up

Jack shrugs off the pain in his arm and beats his drum, casting dissonant whispers at H1.(13) 

1. Ogres at the caravan, Run boys run!
2. Bandits at the place, horrible scum!
3. Dont worry,I've got some spells though!
4. Run away ogres, go back home!

He then does an epic drum solo!

Reverie frowns when she sees the Thugs and Bandits are coming closer to her. Again, she raised her scimitar, slashing one of the thugs, then uses her Thunderous Smite (as a bonus action).

Move to T2.
Attack, scimitar - 16; Damage - 7
Thunderous Smite Thunder Damage - 7; STR save needed - 12

The thugs are the experienced members of the bandit gang. Much tougher than the ordinary riff-raff.

Thug2 STR save: 8

T2 takes a brutal blow, but is still fighting. It is sent sprawling, prone and knocked back 10'.

The bandit captain yells loudly at his men. "Attack them, you cowards!". He moves 30' closer, staying behind crates and tables for cover.

Half-Ogre1 WIS save: 5

(I was going to give Jack a DM inspiration for his epic lyrics, but I think I'll have H1 re-do its save this time: 11 )

The half-ogre, already with severe acid burns, is unable to endure the additional psychic pain, and slumps over, no longer breathing. Jack was thinking about trying to take it prisoner, but these things are very strong, and very dim. Better to improve the odds first... and some of the others will be more knowledgable, he thinks.

(Map in post 279 has been updated. H1 is dead. T2 is prone. Theren and Froskan are up.)

Smiling at the Half Ogre now dead, jack yells out to his friends. "Ok guys, ye take care of everyone else! One Half Ogre is dead! I'll get the captain!"

Theren moves over toward Reverie, deftly ducking behind the cover wagons and crates as he goes. After he rounds the corner and is standing where Reverie was, he spots her fighting some thugs. He draws a dagger and hurls it at a nearby bandit before ducking behind cover again.

Attack: 15 Damage: 6

Sneak: 3

Cunning Action: Hide - Stealth 9
