Necromancer's Delusion-Homebrew

Initiative 14

(Given Jinara's current position, would he be able to use his reaction if he is hit by a held action from an enemy? If so, his reaction would be spent to cast Shield at the first successful hit.)

(They heard the sound of two thuds *from the melee guards dropping to the ground*.  You aren't sure if it's precaution or if they know the guards are dead outside the room.)

(Mucor-I would say you get an action or movement but not both as a "surprise" round.  They're on alert but are all trained on the door.)

(Gaelin- I'll allow it.  A bit meta but also understandable given the situation.)

(Jinara- if you are holding an action you choose whether to use your reaction release it.  I would say you could choose either option you want to do but not both.)

Forgot Gabriel initiative:  21 

(Understood. Jinara's hands would continue to flame until he is hit by an attack, at which point he would defensively cast Shield)

OOC: So I cannot contiue to move to the back of the room and then attack? If not, can you tell me how far into the room I can go and attack with it still being a surprise round?

(You can go to the back of the room. Combat hasn't started.  Its basically a tense waiting game.  Once you bampf out of wildshape is when combat/ surprise round would start.  Sorry should've explained that better.)

OOC: That was my hope. I was hoping to spider to the back of the room and then wild shape back and cast spells and make explosions of animals like I did in the prisoner room with the druid.

Zinmaer 

Initiative 13

(Mucor- On your que. )

Initiative Order:  (Once things pop off)
Group 1: Duke, Gaelin, Gabriel
Group 2: Jinara, Aryn, Zinmaer, Mucor, Sheriff, Maester, Guards

Map for reference:

Mucor would skitter his way along the celing and down the back wall until he was on the ground next to a large white table. Once on the ground, The spider would quickly contort and morph back into the hulking mintaur with his spear pointed towards the duke. "Get him..." Mucor would command with a growl as he stomped his hoof hard. The moment his hoof hit the ground, erupting earth would explode under the duke and his surrounding guards right as his three zombies push their way through the door and begin assaulting the enemies within the room.

(So I am hoping to hit everyone except the guard closest to the door with the spell. it is a 20ft cube and they need to succeed a dex 14 saving throw or take 17 bludgening damage, half that damage on a success. I went with this spell because I thought it might be a good signal to come on in :D)

The ground shakes for a moment then explodes upwards spewing wood, rock and stone. The two guards holding crossbows fire their bolt wildly hitting the wall.  The Duke and Sheriff manage to dodge the majority of the rubble but the maester and all guards take the full brunt of the debris.

The door swings open as Jinara and Aryn release their held actions.  The duke seeing the number of foes chooses to rush towards the enemy separate from the others and turns to fire two hand crossbows at Mucor.

Mucor- Atk: 11    16   Dmg:  7  10

Gabriel's eyes glow as the adrenaline courses through his veins.  He rushes into the fray and attacks the guard closest to the door with his axe.  His axe impacts the guard's armor and dents it in cracking a few ribs.

Atk:  16     Dmg:  13

Gaelin!

Updated map:

Aryn sees the sheriff and releases her arrow.  

Attack:   20  Dmg:   17    21

Gaelin moves towards the door, sees the sheriff and in a rage casts heat metal (3rd level) on his armor.   (Since he can't drop his armor he fails the save right?) Watching the metal turn red he moves to the southern wall of the hallway on the western side of the open door out of sight.

Damage:  7

 (is there a way to link spells int he forum?)

(Yes, auto fail.  To link spells type [spell] name of spell ['/spell])

Aryn's arrow bounces off the sheriff's armor that begins to turn red hot.  He grits his teeth through the pain and looks for his first target.  The zombies and snake enter the room and attack the guards, who reflexively parry, block and return blows.  Two of the zombies and two guards go down in the fray.  The western guard avoids being constricted but is now flanked by the snake and Gabriel.

The Sheriff turns and charges Mucor, his sword erupting into flame and slashes wildly.  "Your an annoying one aren't you."

Mucor- Atk:  17    16    19   Dmg: (1) 14  4  (2) 13  6   (3)  9    10 

The Maester grins and swirls his fingers together as flicks of blue electricity crackle around his hands as he releases Lightning Bolt towards Gabriel, Jinara, Aryn and Zinmaer.  (DC14 Dex) Damage (half on success):  28

Gabriel Dex:  14

Jinara, Aryn, Zinmaer & Mucor!

Updated map: 

Dex Save: 9

Aryn would exhale slowly taking time to aim calming her hand and release another arrow at the sheriff.  Still shaken from the hit of the bolt of energy her hand twitches just before she releases the arrow.

Attack:  11   Damage:  7   13

(OOC: So to be clear, Mucor would take 19 (13 + 6) damage from the hit? He only got hit from the last attack out of 3)

(Correct)

Dex Save = 18

(Since no attack, but instead an AoE, was made against Jinara, he did not activate his shield). Jinara attempts to dive to avoid the electric blast barreling his way. After settling from the damage, Jinara seems to growl in this guttural tone (actually speaking Draconic). He places his left hand inside his right sleeve for a brief moment, and as he draws his left hand out, he runs a finger dipped in a brown sticky substance across the palm of his right hand. He swirls his right hand in the air in a circle before forcefully pressing his left through the circle towards the guards, duke, maester, and sheriff (5 people in total). Jinara casts Slow (DC16 WIS).

After casting, Jinara will immediately move to the western side of the central door, opposite Gaelin, maintaining his concentration.

Wis saves- Duke:   12   Sheriff:  18  Maester:  15   Guards:  15

(OOC: That still hurt a lot!)

Mucor would recoil a bit after the savage blow. Pointing his spear between the eyes of the sheriff, the Minotaur would cast conjure animals. Instantly a cloud of spores circles around the marshal ...

 As the cloud of necrotic spores disperses, five  wolfs and three constrictor snakes are left surrounding the Sheriff form all sides. The minotaur will take a deep breath, inhaling the last of the swirling spores as the wound on his side begins to heal.

 "Take him down" The minotaur would command to the wolves and snakes. 

 (OOC: The zombie can attack whoever and the other constrictor snake from before will disappear)

OOC: I would like to apologize for all the extra work I add by making another 8 NPC's to control. If you want me to control the rolls for the zombie and creatures I will. Thanks!
