(ooc: thats alright. I'm happy with how things are going still. The positioning is different than what I thought it was. I'd rather cleave this spider fella in half right now :P)
Arkhan snarls happy with his first blow. He cranks back and strikes again with Hew.
Hew Booming Blade: Attack: 26 + Bless: 2 Damage: 10 If he moves: 2 thunder damage
(its counting the 4 on bless as a crit... damage will actually be: 11)
Long, crackling forks of lightning creep over the drows armour, snapping threateningly as each subtle movement. The Blackspider merely smiles, standing silent as the dragonborn withdraws his axe. With a free hand he smears a thin line of dark red dampens the fabric around his neck. His eyes snap from his bloodstained fingers back to Arkhan, a snarl of his own now breaking through the smile.
Turning his attention to the other corner of the room, Syna reaches out for a second time. The temperature noticeably drops. The druid closes his eyes firmly, thrusting an open palm at the Blackspider, a freezing blast of cold descending onto the drow.
BlackSpider Constitution Save: 21 Save DC: 13 Damage: 3 (+D/A on next turn attack)
For a brief moment the Blackspider freezes mid-motion. Shining white patches of ice glisten across his quickly freezing armour. The drows dark skin, lightens slightly as the icy fingers of winter take him in his grasp.
In the opposite corner of the room, Serak again thrusts his blade, dripping with burning poison, into the furry beast before him.
Attack: 8 (+Bless)
The blow is fumbled. The blade temporarily lost in the tangle of thick wolf fur. Circling the beast, Serak nonchalantly calls into the room with a laugh, "What's the matter, gentlemen? Weren't expecting us? You seem to know our every move, so I assumed supper and a warm fire would be awaiting us!"
Smirking wryly, he shouts, "Beetle, won't you show them how to properly greet a guest?"
Bardic Inspiration - Target: Beetle
Cutting Words - Condition: Anyone hit by 4 or less. Reduce damage of Killing Blows.
In a fit of rage the Blackspider clasps his hands together, cracking several knuckles. "Impudent elf! Don't you know it's rude to insult a host?" The drow tightens his two claw like hands into fists, throwing a pair of strong upper cuts into Arkhans side.
With two strong strikes, the Blackspider launches Arkhan into the air. Gasping for air, the dragonborn falls to the floor, crumpled and broken. "Ssssooooo nice of you to return my brother as well! COME ON OUT AND SHOW YOURSELF DWARF!" The drow hisses with delight, yelling into the corridor as it places a single foot onto Arkhans side, "Perhapsss I've misjudged you fellows?"
Serak momentarily drops his guard, distracted by the Blackspiders haunting words. Behind him, the loud gnashing of foamy jaws brings him to.
Wolf Attack: 16 Damage: 15 Serak Strength Save: 3 Save DC: 13
Turning a split second too late, Serak is tackled to the floor. The wolf stands heavily on his back, squashing his chest against the cold, stone tiles. A sudden rush of pain surges from his forearm, followed by a stream of warm liquid. Instinctively the beast shakes its head, ripping and tearing the limp arm between its teeth.
As chaos breaks out, Grol takes a heavy swing at Beetle. Morningstar in hand, the scarred bugbear lashes out.
Grol Attack Roll 1: 23 Grol Attack Roll 2: 21
Sidestepping effortlessly away, Beetle dodges a blow, much to the bugbears frustration. "GAHH! GROL SMASH YOU HUMAN!" Sidestepping once more Beetle avoids the second swipe. Tyr be praised. Towering before him, Grol raises his morningstar once more. The paladin concentrates, timing his next strike carefully.
Serak: Wrestling himself free from the wolf's grasp, Serak rolls from beneath the beast before springing to his feet. Wincing in pain, the Bard shouts "Vitala!" before striking at the wolf a third time.

Hobgoblin Initiative: 18 Beetle 16 vs 7 Hobgoblin
In the doorway, Syna suddenly stumbles forwards onto one knee, his cloak stained with red. Behind him stands Gundren, flanked by two hobgoblin guards. The dwarf grimaces helplessly as he watches Syna fall, his face slowly twisting, contorting until strange, elongated and unrecognizable. As the party watch on, Gundren grows taller, now stooped beneath the stone doorway. The dwarves clothes melt away, leaving behind dark, muscled, blue-black flesh. Two bright eyes stare into the room from his now blackened humanoid face. Blood drips from the creatures claws. "Vhalak! So glad you could make it!" The Blackspider beams at Gundrens entrance, "These gentlemen have been questioning our hospitality!"
OOC: Ball bearings and caltrops were taken into consideration. They're nullified at half speed.
Serak, you might want to reconsider your turn! Although I'll take your previous rolls if you'd like to stick :P

A quick sidestep to his right allows Beetle to swing Talon once more. A roaring flash of green flame, lights up the room, casting long menacing shadows up the castle walls.
Attack: 24 Damage: 7
Beetle leans into the blow, carving a slice out of the bugbear kings chest. As he does so, a blast of green flame erupts from the wound, igniting the Blackspiders cloak.
Damage to BS:3
Filled with rage, the paladin yells out to his deity, "Smite this foe!" As if in reply, lightning streams from Grols wound, arcing across his chest and outwards along the bugbears limbs. Grol staggers slightly, weakened by the blow, but gathers himself quickly.
Smite Damage: 7
A volley of arrows whistles through the doorway as the flickering green light fades. Each one launched from a hobgoblin longbow in the corridor.
Picking himself up off the ground, Syna manages to duck between each of the blows. The pair of hobgoblins barely react, reaching for a second set of arrows.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Picking himself up off the ground, Arkhans shield subsides. The dragonborn takes no time to catch his breath, swinging his axe heavily into the Blackspiders side.
Attack: 27 Damage: 8 (4 thunder damage on movement)
Multiple forks of electrical energy crackle through the air as the Blackspider absorbs the blow. Static clings to the drows shoulder length white hair, spreading it thinly over his shoulder plates.
Confronted by the small army in the doorway, Syna falls back onto another of his trusted spells. A second arrow soars overhead, giving the druid just enough time to cast. "Val os si thysaer, eir ti!" Immediately the tiled floor of the corridor bursts into life. Several long, thorned vines sprout through the stonework grasping at every limb it can reach.
Seemingly reacting to the nearest threat, the vines writhe and twist their way around Gundren. completely engulfing him and tying him firmly to the floor.
A short distance away, Serak manages to wrestle himself away from the wolfs grasp, rolling away and springing to his feet. Clamping his wounded arm against his side to stem the bloodflow, he grits his teeth. Through the pain, the bard begins to whisper a strained but gentle lullaby to the beast.
Action - Sleep(Lvl 2) - HP Effected: 15 + 7(Lvl 2) = 22 HP
The wolf snarls at the gently soothing voice. It snaps its teeth violently together, padding forward slowly. With each step, the beasts eyes grow heavier. It's next step elongates, turning into a stretch - accompanied by a long yawn. The wolf slides slowly down onto the floor, fast asleep.
Across the room, the Blackspider lashes out once more. A pair of black, gloved fists swing for Arkhan.
Blackspider Attack Roll 1: 25 Blackspider Attack Roll 2: 18
OOC: Another shield here Arkhan? BS can really throw a punch!
Though parrying the first of the blows, Arkhan leaves himself open for the second. The drows heavy fist pounding into the dragonborns stomach. Bemused by the beating, the Blackspider lets out a loud booming laugh. "Come now! You're embarrasing yourselves!"
Still engaged in battle, Grol twists his hands tightly around his morningstar. How he's missed a good fight. The bugbear circles around his prey and swings hard, aiming for Beetles head as the paladin again steps aside.
Grol Attack Roll 1: 18 Grol Attack Roll 2: 12
A bright flash of pure white light fills the room as Beetles glass-staff springs into life. Grols blow, thwarted by a field of magical energy.

Helpless to resist, Syna is dealt a second blow, knocking him unconscious as he hits the floor. Gundren screeches triumphantly, taking a stride through the doorway.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Serak: Shocked by the sudden transformation of Gundren, the full gravity of the situation hits Serak as he shouts, "They're shapeshifters!"
Witnessing Syna fall, the Bard stands over him protectively as he releases more sand from his pouch and yells, "Sular du Ananast!" He then slams the door shut on the Hobgoblins.
Beetle hears Serak call out about the shapeshifters and sees Grundren colse in between Serak and himself, still engaged with the King, Beetle decides to finish this than turn his attention to Grunden.
Beetle swings again at King Grol casting Green-flame blade as he does....
Attack: 22 Damage: 8
Bless added to hit: 4
On a hit Green Flame jumps to Grundren for 3damage
OOC: is Bardic inspiration added to hit only orcan it be applied to damage, just curious cause I would use it here on the damage roll.
OOC: Beetle, Seraks bardic inspiration is only added to ability checks, saving throws or attack rolls, not damage rolls unfortunately.
RAW Text:
As a bonus action, a creature (other than yourself) within 60 ft. that can hear you gains an inspiration die (1d6). For 10 minutes, the creature can add it to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. This can be added after seeing the roll, but before knowing the outcome.
Seraks news briefly draws Beetles attention to the towering monstrosity as it approaches. Gundren stomps forwards, taking position in the center of the room, narrowing its eyes at the paladin as he turns back to face Grol. Beetle swings his sword desperately at the bugbear, filling the air with another wave of bright green flames.
Attack: 26 Damage: 8
On a hit Green Flame jumps to Grundren for 3 damage
Talon carves a second wound across the bugbears chest, releasing an explosion of flame into the room. Bright green embers strike against Gundrens tar black skin, charring and burning his body.
The first of the hobgoblins charges through the doorway, longsword in hand. It quickly surveys the room, before choosing a worthy target. With its heavily muscled arms it swings its longsword downwards towards Arkhan.
Hobgoblin 1 Attack Roll: 6
Ducking forwards, Arkhan dodges the blow, now squeezed between the hobgoblin and the Blackspider. The drow grins, thrusting its head towards the dragonborns, blowing a puff of stale, raspy breath into his face.
The second of the hobgoblins knocks a second arrow, taking aim at the partially distracted Beetle down the corridor.
Hobgoblin 2 Attack Roll: 20
OOC: Another Shield Beetle?
Trapped in the corner, Arkhan stands firm, shoving the Blackspider back and raising Hew above him, "I care not about your magic, I shall see you fall by my axe." As he swings downwards, his blade flickers with electric charge, sparking violently in the drows direction.
Hew Booming Blade: Attack: 25 Damage: 5 If he moves: 5 thunder damage
Hew slices into the Blackspiders armour, sending a flurry of sparks into the air. The drow winces slightly at the blow, but again stiffens its stance, placing his weight firmly onto his back foot.
Syna Death Save: 17
In the doorway, Synas eyes flicker slightly. The druids mind drifting silently in a void, the sounds of a distant battle stir his subconscious.
A shadow falls over Synas body as Serak protectively steps over him. One hand in his pouch of sand, the bard sprinkles a pinch into the air yelling, "Sular du Ananast!" With a heavy kick the bard slams the door onto the hobgoblin outside, barely waiting for the beast to hit the floor.
With a thump, the hobgoblin in the chamber hits the floor, quickly accompanied by a dull muffled thump behind the door.
Regaining his footing, the Blackspider lets out a sharp snarl. Twisting slightly, he thrusts himself forwards, throwing another pair of fists into Arkhans torso.
Blackspider Attack 1: 24 Blackspider Attack 2: 25
Damage 1: 6 Damage 2: 10
The Blackspiders fist is swallowed by Arkhans stomach, folding the dragonborn in half. As the sorcerers head lowers, the drow follows up with an elbow, cracking into Arkhans spine. The dragonborn falls to the floor in a tangle of limbs. "Hmmm... Pity." The Blackspider hisses and turns his attention back into the room, eyeing up his next potential target.
Hobbling awkwardly around Beetle, Grol lets out a quiet grumble, gripping his morningstar tightly. In a sudden rush of rage, the bugbear swings with intent.
Bugbear Attack 1: 24 Bugbear Attack 2: 12
Damage: 13
Grols morningstar smashes into Beetles side, loudly rattling the paladins chain armour. The bugbear grins wildly, thumping its scarred chest with a free hand.

ROUND 5
Ambling through the chamber, Gundren screeches again, raising both of it long black arms into the air. With a ferocious swipe the beast brings its claws down, raking them into Seraks side.
Gundren Attack Roll 1: 9 Gundren Attack Roll 2: 9
Ducking and diving, Serak somehow manages to avoid both of Gundrens crazed attacks. The beast lurches backwards and hisses in anger, frothing at the mouth.
OOC: Wow. Just wow!
Map below, Totals depending on Beetles shield from Last Round.
OOC: At least the Surprise round went well! Was really hoping to finish off this wolf before it got a chance to maul Serak.
Arkhan, I think you could still use your Breath attack. It is a Cone shape, so if you angled it right you'd hit them both and miss Beetle.

Long, crackling forks of lightning creep over the drows armour, snapping threateningly as each subtle movement. The Blackspider merely smiles, standing silent as the dragonborn withdraws his axe.

The Blackspiders fist is swallowed by Arkhans stomach, folding the dragonborn in half. As the sorcerers head lowers, the drow follows up with an elbow, cracking into Arkhans spine. The dragonborn falls to the floor in a tangle of limbs. "Hmmm... Pity." The Blackspider hisses and turns his attention back into the room, eyeing up his next potential target.
Hobbling awkwardly around Beetle, Grol lets out a quiet grumble, gripping his morningstar tightly. In a sudden rush of rage, the bugbear swings with intent.
Bugbear Attack 1: 24
Bugbear Attack 2: 12
Damage: 13
Grols morningstar smashes into Beetles side, loudly rattling the paladins chain armour. The bugbear grins wildly, thumping its scarred chest with a free hand.
OOC: yes use another staff charge for shield
ROUND 5
Ambling through the chamber, Gundren screeches again, raising both of it long black arms into the air. With a ferocious swipe the beast brings its claws down, raking them into Seraks side.
Gundren Attack Roll 1: 9
Gundren Attack Roll 2: 9
Ducking and diving, Serak somehow manages to avoid both of Gundrens crazed attacks. The beast lurches backwards and hisses in anger, frothing at the mouth.
OOC: Wow. Just wow!
