(OOC: Since the last attack missed, I'll use the d6 from that attack. 18 damage total from Reverie.)

Froskan (and Jack) are up.

"Jack, can you get Trim back on his feet?" Froskan calls as he rolls an extra-large ball of ice between his hands to launch at the Angry.

Chromatic Orb (3rd level slot) Attack: 17 Damage: 25

Jack casts Healing Word on Trimyrai for 6 points. (Trim is prone but conscious.)

Jack will also throw his magic boomerang. To-hit: 15  (misses)

Froskan's cold orb blasts the shadow creature for 25 damage.

The Angry WIS save vs. DC 15: 4

The Angry is definitely hurt, to the point that you think it may fall after a few solid blows.

After growling its rage at your party, it then slowly swings its spike arms at the empty air. Jack's Curse has addled its mind, and it staggers like it is drunk and confused. (No action this round, but it still has its Reaction.)

Iskander and Trimyrai are up. (Trim is currently prone and within melee range.) 

Trimyrai gasps for air as he awakens after being healed. He tries to get up, draw his rapier, and then strike at the creature. (OOC: if I can do all that in one turn)

Attack 1: 10

Damage 1(if it hits): 4

Attack 2: 25

Damage 2(if it hits): 4

Isk can't believe he's still alive and calls out, "Steady friends, now is the time of our triumph!"  before lashing out with his glaive!

• First Attack: 23 Damage: 12
• Second Attack: 21 Damage: 16

edit: ugh, less than triumphant hit rolls there...

Trimyrai is able to stab The Angry with his first strike for 9 damage, but the creature's movements prevent the second strike, and both of Isk's blasts, from hitting anything vital.

Froskan, Reverie, and Jack are up.

I'll have Jack start calling the creature "The Childish Temper Tantrum".

Vicious Mockery for 4 psychic damage if it fails a DC 15 WIS save: 9

Froskan and Reverie are up.

 (Unfortunately I think I'm gonna have to drop out.  I haven't had time to keep up with any of my games on here properly anymore, and have been holding them all up as my posting keeps slowing down.  It's been a lot of fun, everyone!)

Sorry about real life keeping you too busy for D&D.

Thanks for sticking around as long as you have. Been fun.

I'll give Reverie a little longer to respond.

(I am so sorry to hear that. Though it is really great to have you with us, thank you so much and it has been fun!)

Reverie smiles slightly as she hears her friends. "I would love to witness our triumph for sure!" With that saying, she attacks with all her strength towards the Angry.

Attack, Berserker Scimitar - 14 Damage - 9 

Attack, Berserker Scimitar - 9 Damage - 8

Bonus Attack, Scimitar - 7 Damage - 6

(Edit: Yes!)

Hey there we go, Rev picking up Isk's slack, lol

(With another critical hit, Reverie does 22 damage. So with Trim's arrow and Jack's mockery, that is 35 more damage, for a total of 275 versus The Angry this combat.)

Reverie (with another critical) decapitates the Shadow creature. One critical strike... both heads lopped off.

Combat is over!

Reverie drops the magic scimitar, like it has stung her fingers. She will have to re-attune to the weapon during a short or long rest.

(Everyone can read this, but your character won't know this until Reverie has a chance to to talk about this at some later time.)

The party takes a moment's breather after that brutal fight. But you are interrupted by the sounds of many iron boots marching towards you. The passage behind you is filled with a dozen Redcaps. (If you've forgotten what these dreadful faerie beings are like, link for the redcap image.) You recognize them as Rufus' guards / henchmen / toadies. (Rufus must have had them follow your group into these mines.) They have their weapons drawn, and the group laughs unfriendly when they see the condition of your party.

(OOC: I know we are out of combat but could I use my second wind as the group approaches?)

(Oof, that is a gruesome, but awesome, piece of art)

Isk's hands glow faintly gold and a few of his wounds begin to mend (+6hp from healing hands).  He smiles and waves to the Redcaps sayings, "Hail fey friends, good of you to join us in such a dire fight, though your time could have been better.  How is master Rufus?"

(For now, don't use it. But I will give you the option of using it before any drastic events happen.)

Reverie looks down on her hand where she used to grip on her Berserker Scimitar, checking if anything happens on her hand, and yet she feels much fine. Approaching towards her magical scimitar, she took it with her emptied hand before using laying on hands on Trimyrai and Jack (10 points each). Then she looks at the Red Caps for a moment, see if they are there to attack them right now.

Insight (check!) - 16

The redcaps grip their sickles tighter, as they seem prepared to use them.

You now hear a large crowd approaching. A flood of pixies from the village rush in from behind the Redcaps. The Redcaps, visibly surprised and annoyed, lower their weapons. The pixies, on the other hand, are delighted that The Angry is no longer terrorizing the mines. Some of the pixies are collecting pieces of the rainbow-hued shells of the Flail Snails. The others are around your group, lending a helping hand in wiping off your sweat and blood. (Half of Trimyrai's arrows that he used in combat are still usable. The pixies quickly collect them and return them to Trim.)

The pixies encourage your party to leave the mines while it is temporarily safe, saying that food and bandages will be brought to your tent in the village.

Reverie would love to take some rest at their tent in the village, but then she looks back at the Red Caps for a second. Thinking the Rufus must have been trying to eliminate her and her friends, but such a relieve that the pixies comes to help them out. They can be the witnesses. "Let's return to our tent," she murmurs, "But should we report that we did eliminate the monster in the cave first or shall we go back to our tent and get some rest before reporting this matter?"

Trimyrai walks with Reverie back to the village. Trimyrai: (to the party[in a whisper]) "If we are expecting a fight we might want to put if off. If we are still trying to maintain the ruse of being entertainers, showing up and reporting while being injured may help maintain the ruse, as well as lull Rufus into thinking we are weak and not a threat to him."

Reverie hums in thought before she nods after hearing Trimyrai's opinion. "That could also work as well. However, I am worried if he would attack us anyway even if we show up to him while being injured." She looks back at her friends and murmurs, "Rufus is a tricky one anyhow."
