Necromancer's Delusion-Homebrew

"Drow?" Gaelin blurted out loud then turned to Rowan.  "Rowan... do any drow live here?  Aryn is tracking one now that was in the crowd earlier." he'd ask.

Rowan looks to Torq and says, "I can't imagine so.  I think nearly everyone in this village has lost at least a friend if not a relative to the lycans... I think that's why you saw so much emotion and support."  She stops as Gaelin speaks and asks, "There's a drow... here?  The night queen... this must be part of some scheme." Rowan says looking concerned. "Aryn may be in danger depending on who the night queen sent.  Her shadowblade assassins are deadly even for a group of your skill."  

"Yes, I will do my best to watch over your son" Mucor would say with a nod as he gives the old woman a pat on the shoulder. He would then turn and slowly move towards his companions as to not raise any kind of alarm. 

"Then perhaps we should leave to assist her.  Did she tell you where she was Gaelin?" Torq says standing to his feet.  His broad feathered chest heaved as the thought of battle entered his mind.

Initiative:  19

"Well that's not good." Gaelin replies and stands up beside Torq.  "I don't know which way she went... I'll ask, but let's move." he adds running to the door.  He'll cast Sending again on her and say, "That guy may be dangerous. Where are you in relation to Rowan's house?  Which way did you travel from the crowd?" 

Initiative:  13

Aryn smirks and draws her bow after stowing her weapons.  She'll draw back and aim for the thigh.

Initiative:  25     (Yes!) 

(Xtra- don't know how you want me to do my response to Gaelin.  Is that after since he rolled low on initiative?)

(@Aryn- Gaelin will take his posted action when his turn comes in initiative.  @Everyone- the group is 6 rounds away from Aryn and the drow. Unless otherwise noted I will assume you are all taking the dash action. @ Torq- You are 4 rounds away since you have a higher speed. @JInara-You can use spells to reduce the # of rounds.)

Initiative order:  (So far, still need Jinara and Mucor initiative!)
Group 1 Aryn & Torq
Group 2 Drow
Group 3 Gaelin

Aryn & Torq!

Map: 

initiative! 18

Aryn will release two arrows at the drow's right thigh.  (Both Sharpshooter and do I get assassin since I go first Xtra?  I'm going to roll as if I do.)

Attack:  (1)  22    (2)    19   

Damage:  (1)  19   10   9   (2)   30   6   3   (sneak)   35

Initiative 21

Torq will rush out the door and try to see if he can spot Aryn or the individual.  If he does he'll use his remaining movement to fly towards them.

Perception:  16

Torq & Jinara- Torq runs out through the door and looks around frantically.  The sporadic beams of sunlight cast the whole area in dim amber light but you are unable to make out any distinct individuals outside of 150 feet.  You can only assume Aryn and the individual are beyond your vision or hidden by the shadows of the forest.  Your ears then pickup the sound of a heavy thump and rustling to the southwest 3-400 feet away just as Jinara exits Rowan's house.  You indicate the direction of the sound and take off in towards it followed closely behind by Jinara.

Aryn- your first arrow slams into the thigh and sticks stops on the drow's femur.  The drow continues to run with a slight hitch as you aim and release your second arrows that catches the drow mid stride.  The arrow pierces through the thick flesh and shatters the femur causing the drow to collapse and tumble on the ground.  The drow remains silent and looks around him before disappearing in a wisp of black mist.  Just then you hear the voice of Gaelin in your head again.   Make a perception check and a DC13 Survival check to know your location in relation to Rowan's house.

Mucor and Gaelin- You hear Torq exclaim to Jinara a sound he heard and reach the door as they rush off to the southwest.  Mucor exits followed by Valeera, Gaelin and Rowan.

Updated Initiative order:
Aryn, Jinara & Torq
Drow
Gaelin, Mucor, Valeera & Rowan

Aryn, Jinara & Torq!  

Perception:   25     (I've got to see him right?)

Survival:   10   (Yay)

 (@Xtra- I like the PM technique, reminds me of whispers from Critical Role.)

"I'm 350 feet southwest of Rowan's house.  He's injured now but very... tricky.  Keep your eyes peeled."  Aryn replies to GAelin in her mind while searching for the disappearing drow.  Her heart beat rapidly as she looked.  

If I found him: Aryn will sprint (bonus dash if necessary) towards the drow and attempt to knock him out with two blows to the head with her bow.  (I don't know what to add to attack rolls or what dice to roll for damage.)

Attack:  (1)  7  (If he's prone)  17     (2)    11    10  

Damage:   (sneak & hunter's mark if adv from prone.)   14      8

(@Aryn- For future reference your proficiency with your bow also includes hitting people with it as a melee attack.  It will have a d6 damage die instead of a d8 but the attack and damage bonuses are the same.)

Damage (both attacks would hit with your Dex + proficiency bonus):    15      18  

(Freaking assassin rogues... you were only 5 damage over what you needed.)

Aryn- you look to your left then snap to look right as the sound of a slight shuffle of leaves hits your ear.  You see a glimpse of a shadow slink behind a tree roughly 60 feet away and rush towards it.  As soon as you make it around the side of the tree you see the glint of steel and feel the blade cut into your flesh as you lift your bow and crack the drow on the head.  He shakes half delirious and stabs you in the torso.  Searing pain enters your body but you manage to smack him over the head again with your bow.  His head snaps to the side and his body goes limp.  His chest heaves from the pain of his wounds and he remains stable for now...

Damage- Aryn:  15   24   (necrotic)     23   (poison)   

Mucor is going to wildshape into a [monster]giant eagle[/spell] and dash (fly) towards aryns location as fast as he can.

Jinara will rapidly head towards the loud thump...

(Owwww!)

Aryn will blindfold and hog tie the drow after she's disarmed him.

Con save:  18

Mucor's form shifts into that of a giant eagle that flaps quickly to reach the air and nimbly begins to soar southwest catching up with Torq.  Valeera transforms back into a dragon and picks up Gaelin, Rowan and Jinara before taking off behind Mucor and Torq.  You are now 2 rounds away.

Aryn- As you grasp the drow's blade his eyes open and he fights the grapple.  Roll a Strength check!

Opposed Strength check:  11

Strength:  20

(Dang it!)

Aryn- the drow catches you off guard and breaks your hold of him. "Impressive..." he mutters in elvish then coughs up blood and says a short phrase in a different language before disappearing in a puff of black mystical smoke.  You stand to your feet and look around you to try and find the mortally wounded individual.  You can hear the sound of branches snapping and can make out the shapes of Torq, and eagle and Valeera fast approaching roughly 120 feet away.  Make a perception check!
