Chapter One: A LMoP Adventure

The (black) Redbrand moves to engage Rock (J17), swinging his shortsword twice at the dragonborn. (Attack: 12, damage: 6 piercing damage; attack: 21, damage: 8 piercing damage) Neither attempt lands; the barbarian is able to use his handaxe to block both.

The glowing (blue) Redbrand moves around behind Gruxx (G15) and attempts to take down the human barbarian with two attacks. (Attack: 23, damage: 5 piercing damage; attack: 14, damage: 4 piercing damage) With Gruxx less than ready to defend himself after his reckless attack, both attacks hit, but do half the amount of damage they would have if his rage wasn't keeping him from feeling their full effects.

The (green) Redbrand also attempts to strike Gruxx with two strikes of their shortsword. (Attack: 7, damage: 4 piercing damage; attack: 8, damage: 7 piercing damage) Already being cut, Gruxx finds it hard to dodge these blows as well, but, again, his rage dulls the pain.

Wanting to join in on what he sees as a sure-win, the (orange) Redbrand crosses to also take two swings at Gruxx (H14). (Attack: 12, damage: 6 piercing damage; attack: 22, damage: 3 piercing damage) But the barbarian is able to dodge both of the (orange) Redbrand's attacks.

Two more Redbrands come stomping out of the Sleeping Giant. The (yellow) Redbrand joins in on the mob attacking Gruxx (I14), swinging twice with his shortsword. (Attack: 18, damage: 8 piercing damage; attack: 18, damage: 8 piercing damage) The first swing scores a glancing blow, but the second bounces off Gruxx's glaive.

The (red) Redbrand steps into the yard, angling toward Rock, but not yet getting there (K14).

Round 2: Rock (raging), Ian, Gruxx (raging), Glyn (hiding), HDP (concentrating), black, blue, green, orange, red, yellow

Rock, you're up!

OOC: am I allowed to hop back into the lineup at the end before rock since I didnt go last round, or was my turn readying the action, and nothing triggered that action last round?

Rock to Back Redbrand: "So you are my dance partner, Lets cut to the chase"

Right hand axe attack Hand Axe 1 11, Damage Hand Axe 1 7

Left hand axe attack Hand Axe 2 9, Damage Hand Axe 2 7

To Grux, "How you doing Grux, You must be smelling good to draw all these flys, I thought you got cleaned up some."

that was to be Black Redbrand

OOC: Attacks on the glowing Redbrand (blue) have advantage courtesy of the Faerie Fire spell.

Gruxx will make an attack against the Blue Redbrand.

To Rock Gruxx grimaces slightly, "I've had worse.  They must like my scent!"

Attack: 23 Damage: 6

Glynquinal will take a shot at putting a dagger into the man with the faerie fire glow at G15, quickly drawing his second and last dagger. 

Dagger 1 to hit 9

Damage for dagger 1 5

Sneak attack  3

OOC: forgot to do that at advantage

Dagger 1 to hit 6

Glynquinal will hold in place last dagger and short sword at the ready at G10.

OOC: You're correct, Ian. Your action was to ready an action, and since no one took down Gruxx, that action wasn't triggered. But you can go now!

Rock grins a dragon's grin at the (black) Redbrand, "So, you are my dance partner. Let's cut to the chase." He swings both handaxes as the foe. The first cuts across the man's chest, leaving a sizable gash. The Redbrand is able to bring up his shortsword to block the second blow. Taking everything in stride, the dragonborn asks, "How you doing Gruxx? You must be smelling good to draw all these flies. I thought you got cleaned up some."

Ian, you're up!

OOC, I am ignoring the future-posts so I dont know who they are planning to attack....

Ian will shoot an arrow at the Blue redbrand. Knowing that gives away his position, he will move to the trees just south of him, and attempt to hide (bonus action) in the trees.

To Hit: 23

Damage: 8

Sneak Attack Damage: 6

Bonus Action to Hide (stealth I think?): 8

OOC that man is lucky Both Glynquinal and Ian have tried him and he's still standing.

The (blue) Redbrand escapes harm thrice as Ian's arrow goes sailing past his ear, Gruxx's glaive seems to bounce harmlessly off his armor, and Glynquinal's dagger just misses his belly as it goes spinning by. Perhaps Herr Doktor's faerie fire has also bestowed luck. Ian quickly moves to the trees on the north side of the road (B13) and melts into their shadows as Gruxx and Glynquinal stand their ground.

Herr Doktor, you're up!

The Herr Doktor Professor turns the corner of the building to return to where he previously stood (A9). Though surprised that the lit-up Redbrand still stands, he believes it will only be a matter of time before that enemy falls.

He shouts out the following rhyme:

"When mighty Gruxx came to Phandalin town,

The Redbrands on the street looked up at him.

They ganged up to try to bring him down,

But mighty Gruxx made short work of them.

Their attacks were those of the coward and the knave,

But each Redbrand hit no harder than an ant.

And when mighty Gruxx swung his glaive,

Each Redbrand became insignificant."

The Herr Doktor Professor weaves his magic in-between the words of the rhyme: as a bonus action, he casts Healing Word on Gruxx (regain 5 hit points), then casts Vicious Mockery at the orange Redbrand: (2 damage and disadvantage if it fails its save).

Orange WIS save (DC13): 18

Herr Doktor's verse succeeds in bolstering Gruxx, but fails to harm the (orange) Redbrand.

The (black) Redbrand swings around to the south of Rock (I17) to flank the dragonborn and swings twice with his shortsword. (Attack: 20, damage: 5 piercing damage; attack: 13, damage: 8 piercing damage) The first swing cuts into Rock's side as he is distracted watching the (green) Redbrand, but the barbarian's rage reduces the damage (2 hp). Knowing to watch for the next attack, Rock is able to deflect the second swing with his handaxe.

The (blue) Redbrand, still glowing eerily, swings twice as Gruxx. (Attack: 24, damage: 4 piercing damage; attack: 19, damage: 4 piercing damage) Also watching his back, Gruxx lets the first swing get through his defenses, but his rage reduces the damage (3 hp). The human dodges the second attack easily.

Taking advantage of the (blue) Redbrand's distraction, the (green) Redbrand also swings at Gruxx twice. (Attack: 23, damage: 6 piercing damage; attack: 23, damage: 8 piercing damage; second die roll for critical hit damage: 3) Gruxx is very distracted by the (blue) Redbrand, and both of the (green) Redbrand's attack cut into Gruxx (3 hp and 3 hp). Luckily, his rage keeps him from suffering as much.

The (orange) Redbrand looks over his shoulder at Herr Doktor, but turns back to swing twice at Gruxx, who is beginning to show signs of defeat. (Attack: 10, damage: 7 piercing damage; attack: 10, damage: 5 piercing damage) While the (orange) Redbrand's first swing misses, his second is a mighty blow which is enough to do Gruxx in; the human drops to the ground unconscious and bleeding from many cuts. "They have a friend," the Redbrand comments, jerking his head in Herr Doktor's direction.

The (yellow) Redbrand steps over Gruxx to Rock's west (H16) and swings twice at the dragonborn. (Attack: 10, damage: 3 piercing damage; attack: 24, damage: 7 piercing damage) The barbarian dodges the first swing, but the second catches him off balance and leaves a shallow cut, being reduced by his rage (2 hp).

As Rock is dealing with the (yellow) Redbrand, the (red) Redbrand steps up behind him and swings twice. (Attack: 12, damage: 6 piercing damage; attack: 24, damage: 4 piercing damage) Rock is very distracted and both swings hit their mark, injuring the barbarian further (4 hp and 1 hp).

Round 3: Rock (raging), Ian, Gruxx (unconscious; 0 saves, 0 fails), Glyn, HDP (concentrating), black (injured), blue (glowing), green, orange, red, yellow
