Sword Coast Rambling

Quietly pacing the room, Syna casts his ritual in an attempt to locate any source of magic around them. Glancing at all corners of the room, he sees only a faint aura around his allies, the remaining areas of the room are dim and magic free.  The druid begins to make his way towards the others along the northern wall.

Carefully pushing the door open, Brots takes a deep breath. Almost praying for the room to be empty his eyes suddenly widen as the door swings fully open. Before him stands three fully armed Redbrands, standing ready to suprise the party. "Hello there Rumpfaces! Glad you could pop by!"

Initiative Rolls:

Beetle: 11
Brots: 21
Serak: 13
Syna: 19
Zyltris: 13

Redbrands: 4

Serak 11 vs Syna 23.... Zyltris not Syna: 5

OOC: Beetle correct again. Brots has the remaining potion along with one in the treasury - with this new one added as well. 

ROUND 1

OOC: Any issues with where you're situated at the start of the round let me know. I've tried to work it out based on your actions as you entered the room. Beetle was checking out the room, Brots the NW door, Syna the room, Zyltris the cistern and Serak blocking the door. Happy to change if you think you'd be somewhere else

OOC: more tight spaces...lol...at least this time I can keep them bottled up and off you guys, if Brots disengages and falls back to the other side of the fountain and maybe use the fountain wall as 1/2 cover I can back up 2 squares right on the ne corner of the fountain and Zyl move just south of me we bottle them up nicely while you guys use ranged weapons and the fountain wall for 1/2 cover I think

Syna hearing the unknown voice, move N 5ft and then will cast Create Bonfire where R1 is currently standing. "Hold the door!"

OOC: The wall is about 2 foot high. Brots would certainly get 3/4 cover behind it, the others could manage about 1/2 cover

Also for this round I'm not taking surprise into account as both would likely be suprised to some level. I'd consider giving advantage against the party that are further away, Serak, Zyltris Syna. Brots and to a lesser extent Beetle would have been at least half expecting something behind the door. The redbrands would have heard you investigate the room but didn't have time to set a surprise attack of their own

Brots Action

Brots, shocked at the sudden appearance of the redbrands, draws his daggers in a quick and fluid motion. Instinctively he slashes his right blade, quickly followed by the left.

Brots Attack 1: 14 
Damage: 4

Brots Attack 2: 15 
Damage: 4

Standing in the doorway the redbrand takes two direct hits from the gnomes steel, grasping at the tattered fabric hanging loosely from his chest. Glancing up and spotting the gnome, the redbrand throws an evil stare his way and lets out a short pained laugh, "Look boys, the little one thinks it's a hero!" The two standing behind him join in with the laughter and draw their blades. 

Across the cellar, Syna takes a sidestep, a sudden rush of heat bursts into existence, swallowing the doorframe in which the redbrand stands. 

Redbrand Dexterity Saving Throw: 20
Spell Save DC: 13

Quickly dodging aside the redbrand avoids the initial blast. The door quickly turns to ashes as the flames begin to rage. Urging his friends to step backwards, the redbrand scrambles around trying to avoid the intense heat of the bonfire building all around him. The smug look on his face instantly replaced by panic.

OOC: Serak, Zyltris and Beetle you guys are up next. 

 Beetle will move back 2 squares in the one diagonal off the ne corner of the fountain and cast [spell]eldritch blast at the closest Redbrand he can see...

Attack: 21 Damage: 10

Serak: Serak moves east until he can spot an enemy and says, "Surrender, you fools, or we'll either burn you out or suffocate you. Your choice."

Cast: Vicious Mockery

Damage:2

Zyltris will come around the cistern towards the door to help bottle up the area. 

OOC: Busy day today and I was not expecting there to be combat or I'd of checked sooner. lol

Serak will be able to cast Invisibility soon and he'll have +7 Stealth. Also, he's not a rogue, so he has no special benefit to attacking from stealth. So I'd say Serak would give the Invisibility pot to Syna so he also has a "get out of combat free" card.

Edit: Also, I have not updated my gold since before the Nothic treasure. Figured we'd wait until after the dungeon was complete and divvy it up then, but I'm cool with keeping a running total. Brownbeard, can you just add it to my character please? I've no idea how much we got for the Nothic, the dudes we killed, or what we found on the gambling table.

OOC: it should be in the posts I usually post the split every time we find something now, I will try to keep doing that to keep it easy for the coins but the other stuff Brown has been tracking on the campaign tab

Some of the previous ones are pretty burried by now but let me look back

OOC: going back to the Nothic loot each person should add 24 gold, 51 silver, 4 electrum, 19 copper....plus we got 5 malachite gems and a scroll augury in party loot

FYI - when i listed the splits i there we 3 gold that didn't divide evenly obviously so i converted it to silver to split evenly

OOC: Thanks Beetle. After the Nothic the coin totals should be:

Beetle - 79gp, 9sp
Brots - 30gp, 2sp
Serak -71gp, 8sp
Syna - 68gp 8sp, 9cp
Zyltris - 68gp, 8sp, 9cp

The treasure hoard stands currently as:

5 Malachite Gems
3 gold teeth 
1 jade frog statuette
1 scroll of augury
1 potion of healing

Then there should be the following to add: 

A share of: 20 Copper, 35 Silver, 38 Gold, jewelled eyepatch from the Bugbear Redbrand Fight
A share of: 75 cp, 55 sp, 22 ep, 15 gp, and a gold earring set with a tiny ruby, loaded dice from the common room
A share of: potion of invisibility, potion of healing, 50gp, set of ordinary clothes from the cistern room

Thats 21gp, 15sp, 9cp each 

So totals at this point should be:

Beetle - 100gp, 24sp 9cp
Brots - 51gp, 17sp 9cp
Serak -92gp, 23sp 9cp
Syna - 89gp 23sp, 18cp
Zyltris - 89gp, 23sp, 18cp

OOC: I came up with 24g 7s 9c

You forgot the electrum pieces.

As the party takes up positions to bottle the redbrands in, Serak crouches behind the cistern wall. Seeing Syna light up the redbrand in the doorway he calls out, "Surrender, you fools, or we'll either burn you out or suffocate you. Your choice." 

Cast: Vicious Mockery
Redbrand 1 Wisdom Save: 11
Spell Save DC: 13
Damage:2

Already panicking from the flames surrounding him, the redbrand panics further after hearing the bards words. Flailing in vain at the flames struggling to pass his allies, he is at the mercy of the fire that surrounds him.

Moving up into his own position, Zyltris moves up to the edge of the cistern basin, intending to block an attempt by the redbrands to push through into the open cistern chamber.

Beetle himself takes a few steps backwards, moving into a position beside Zyltris. With the flaming redbrand in sight he casts his Eldritch Blast towards him.

Attack: 19 
Damage: 8

A loud crackle of energy streaks across the room, streaming closely past Brots shoulder and hitting the redbrand squarely. The sudden jolt of energy is enough to kill the redbrand dead on the spot. His body collapsing into a heap into the bonfire from which he never escaped. His allies, trapped in the room behind him and the intense flames.

The first of the remaining redbrands charges through the flames towards Brots, shortsword drawn, ready to fight. 

Bonfire Dexterity Save: 16
Spell Save DC: 13

Diving through the flame, the redbrand tries to shove his way past the gnome blocking his path. His eyes firmly set on the bigger prize of the paladin standing at the end of the cistern.

Brots Opportunity Attack: 9
Damage Roll: 7

The gnomes dagger scraps at the redbrands side as he charges through, closing in on the chain mailed target. The red cloaked figure swings his sword back and forth hoping to deal some damage of his own. Seeking revenge for his already fallen comrade.

Redbrand 2 Attack 1: 17
Damage Roll: 5

The redbrand smiles wickedly as his first strike catches the paladins armour well. A few chains spring loose from the mail as the relentless attack continues, this time backhanded.

Redbrand 2 Attack 2: 21

Parrying away just in time, Beetles longsword prevents the second blow from landing. A mixture of fear and anger is evident in the redbrands eyes as the two adversaries stare each other down.

Meanwhile, the final Redbrand readies himself to make a similar charge through the flames. Taking a deep breath, he lunges forwards.

Redbrand 3 Dexterity Save: 20
Spell Save DC: 13

As his friend had done before him, the redbrand makes the jump safely. The gnome standing before him is easily sidestepped as the redbrand begins his attack against him. 

Redbrand 3 Attack 1: 5
Damage Roll: 6

Again finding himself at the receiving end of a redbrand sword, Brots takes a hit directly across his stomach. The wound isn't deep, but the pain is enough to distract him as the redbrand swings his second blow.

Redbrand 3 Attack 2: 8

The redbrand aims for the gnomes neck but misjudges the required height on his blades downward swing. Standing back to back with his ally, the pair intend to split their attackers in two, pushing them backwards and out of their hideout.

OOC: So I did, Almaraths total is correct!

Totals:

Beetle - 103gp, 16sp 9cp
Brots - 54gp, 9sp 9cp
Serak -95gp, 15sp 9cp
Syna - 92gp 15sp, 18cp
Zyltris - 92gp, 15sp, 18cp

OOC: What are these damage rolls.

OOC: Not great! Plenty of attack roll scores for once though!
