Parths' Adventurer Training

ooc: Oh man! You are very lucky they are at disadvantage because of the arguing going on  :)

Mysti, and those near her, collectively release the breath they were holding once it's clear that none of the gnolls seemed to hear the noise.

ooc: LOL! I'm going to use that one sometime Zarbof!

Thorum says “I agree with Zarbof, lets observe for a minute and see if the argurment leads to fighting. Otherwise we may have to wait until individuals break away from the group and take them out one at a time. 

So while everyone is sneaking (sort of) up and discussing your options a fight does break out in the camp.

Can I get perception checks please.

Mysti Perception: 20

Zarbof perception: 10

Mysti's perception succeeds

"Seems they are fighting over a spear," Mysti quietly tells the group.  "Hopefully 1 group can wipe out the other for us."

So after a short time a full blown battle has broken out in the camp with about half the gnolls on one side, half on the other. While it's going on you see 2 other gnolls join the fray. After what seems like an eternity, but is really only a few minutes the gnoll with the swords ends up dropping the other alpha with a nasty slash to his neck. He starts howling loudly and thrusting his swords in the air while the other gnolls grovel at his feet.

After all is said and done you can see there are 8 remaining on their feet in various conditions.

OOC: How far away are we at this point?

Zarbof whispers, "Quick! While they're on their knees grovelling!"

ooc:about 100'

Mysti: "A lot of them are injured also right now, this may be the time for a surprise attack, before they can rest and heal up."

"Ok.  It'd be nice to take some time to plan more, but yes, I think now is the best chance we're going to get. 

Everyone ready?  After 3.  1...2...3...GO!" 

Zarbof rushes forward, drawing his crossbow, but waiting to see the impact of the others' ranged attacks before loosing his own, just to make sure he's not charging in alone.

[OOC: Moving forward my full 25ft should put me within normal crossbow range.  I'm aiming for the alpha with the swords in the air, hoping that the rest of the party will charge/fire as I shout "GO" (please don't let me charge in by myself and watch! lol).  DM, let me know if I'm getting a little ahead of myself by rolling attacks already, but I figure as the fighter with the highest HP, being the first one in makes sense (and I think my movement is also less than others').  Plus, if my rash actions result in an ambush I'll be the one to take the punishment!]

Attack: 6  Damage: 9

As Belaluin sees Zarbof charging forward he concentrates a very chaotic and dark energy in his hand and unleashes a Chaos Bolt on the alpha gnoll with the swords. 

"The Chaos shall consume you" He exclaims.

Hit: 11  Edit: I did a wrong roll for hit had to add 4.  21 

Damage: 8+6 (Fire Demage)

He Moves behind Zarbof and prepares the Sleep spell just in case someone group of gnolls comes rushing towards them.

OOC: There's something about the rolling I don't understand.  I tried to add +4 for my hit but it keeps giving  a strange error adding a different adding sequence. Isn't it just 1d20 + 4 ??? It also messed up my damage roll.

Thorum will cast hunter’s mark on the new alpha with my bonus action.

He raises his longbow and looses an arrow at the one who has just taken the alpha position. 

Attack: 23 Damage: 4

if hit: hunter’s mark: 1

Mysti move in on the gnolls, whispers her prayer of combat to Tyr, gets close enough to get a spell off, targets one of the already injured gnolls and casts

Toll the Dead (DC13wis) for 11

Wormsquirt mirrors the actions of his fellow combatants, raising his bow he lets loose an arrow at the alpha gnoll.

Attack: 16 Damage: 10

OOC: Belialuin, Yes your attack would be 1d20+4, Chaos bolt is an odd one because the 1st d8 of the 2d8 rolled denotes the damage type, which in your roll would be cold (2). Using the combat roller it will look like this in the post without the spaces.

Attack: [ roll]1d20+4[/roll ] Damage: [ roll](if([roll:-1:critical], =0, 2d8 + 1d6, 2{2d8 + 1d6}.expand()))[ /roll]

In the roll box you would put "4" as the Attack Modifier, Then in damage dice you'd put in "2d8 + 1d6"

The result should be:

Attack: 15 Damage: 9

OOC: Zarbof I'm totally fine with you charging in but you would have advantage on your attack for surprise so roll another 1d20

  Great, thanks. Second d20: 15
