Tucks fireball back in pocket...

(I didn't want to keep track of the 15 patrons that were in the bar, and they are trying to stay away from the fighting. But there are enough people hiding under tables and around the tavern that casting a fireball indoors would be... messy.

Although... the owner is going to be mad enough about the damage to the building, it would be hilarious if a Fireball was added on top. But not very nice.)

Advantage d20s for Jorin: 19 and Quillary: 1

DM rolls

(It has been 5 rounds or so. If the fight somehow continues for another 3 rounds, I'll count to see exactly when Haste will end.)

Results for this round:

• Hildigrim (init 24) misses with his arrow (10 to hit). However, he yells a warning to Quillary, as she was about to trip backwards over the fallen Knight. (Instead of Quillary rolling a 1 on the die, with advantage she gets a 7.)
• Drusk (init 19) misses with his mace and the Spiritual Weapon.
• Pascal (Init 19) fires up, but at the last second decides on a Bolt instead of a Ball. His focus pays off (24 to hit), and the zombie takes 9 fire damage.
• Jorin (init 17) attacks recklessly, hitting 3 times for 32 damage (magic + a bit of radiant).
• The Greater Zombie hits Jorin (but no critical) with the greataxe (15 damage) and a fist slam (9 + 3 necrotic). With Jorin's rage, the damage is reduced to 14 total.
• Quillary (init 16), thanks to Hildigrim's shout, keeps her footing, and hits the Thief (15 to hit) for 12 damage total. The thief also fails the save (4), so takes 7 poison from the spores.
• The Master Thief looks like he will hit Quillary (16 to hit), but her new druid cloak is able to deflect the blade.

Status:

Jorin took another 14 damage, and is down to 19 HP.

The Master Thief has taken a total of 57 damage, and the GZombie has taken 74 damage. Both are under half health, but are still looking better than Jorin at the moment.

Jorin is in melee with the GZ at the front doors. Drusk and Quillary are 45' north, by the long dining table, in combat with the ghost-possessed Master Thief. Pascal is to the west of them. Hildigrim is a bit south of the stage (within short bow normal range of the front doors).

Everyone can post their actions for the round, including an initiative roll.

Quillary steps aside from the thief's jab with a flourish of her ash-dark cloak, "Thank you Hildi!"

She glances over to where Jorin is getting pounded. "The trick, Jorin of the Bodt!" she shouts with something like glee, "Is to not let them hit you!" Then she speaks some guttural words towards him and whirls on her nearby adversary spores swirling, swinging her club.

Bonus Action: Cast Healing Word on Jorin, using a second level slot, for 7 healing
Action: Attack thief with Shillelagh, blessed, but non-lethal, 25 to hit, for 10 non-lethal magical bludgeoning damage and 2 additional poison damage if it hits.
Reaction: Halo of spores on thief, Con Save vs DC 15 or 5 necrotic damage

Initiative if needed: 10

Jorin brings the moonblade up in a defensive stance and takes a deep breath before chopping down on the zombie with the Battleaxe!

• Bonus Action: Second wind for 3 hp
• Action: Battleaxe Attack: 4 + 12 Damage: 14
• Haste Action: Battle Axe Attack: 2 + 27 Damage: 16
• 5 Divine Fury damage 
• Another d20 if Volo helps me out! 9
• Forgotten Initiative 6

Edit: After the flurry of axe blows, he looks over to Quillary, and with a wry smile laughs, "Who says I am hurt, Quillary of the spore?"

Though the smile of battle never left his face, Jorin does look much less battered than he did at the end of the last round.

(Sorry, I got corrupted die rolls on the last post. Apparently, removing the "Attack" key word by accident is a bad thing.)

Drusk continues his attacks, hoping for better results. Initiative: 10

• Mace Attack vs Thief - Attack: 9 Damage: 7  misses
• Spiritual Weapon vs Zombie - Attack: 15 Damage: 8  misses

Pascal and Hildigrim to go.

Just making sure, but with the delayed bless roll, I rolled a 13 for Hildi's attack last round, but I'm thinking that's still too low.

Wash and repeat!

Hildigrim initiative: 6

Volo initiative: 21

+1 shortbow attack vs GZ again: 1 + 12; damage: 7 piercing damage

Sneak attack if appropriate: 8

He then points out to Quillary something helpful about the thief.

Volo helps Jorin again.

Here's hoping 13 isn't too low for both last round and this one!

A oneie and twoie and pew pew pewie!

Firebolt: Attack: 23 Damage: 11 fire damage toward the zombie

Initiative: 13

d20 for Quillary's attack advantage: 1  (really??)

(OOC: Hildigrim does miss with a 13 on both rounds. Easy hit on a regular zombie, not enough for a Greater Zombie.)

DM rolls

Results for this round:

• The Master Thief (init 23) avoids the spores (save 22), but the ghost-possessed movements are still too unskilled (9) to hit Quillary.
• Quillary (init 16) casts a Healing Word on Jorin (heals 10), but her club just misses the thief (13 to hit).
• Pascal (init 13) has shaken off his melancholy and skillfully directs another fire bolt into the greater zombie (23 to hit), doing 11 damage.
• The Greater Zombie (init 7) hits Jorin twice (24, 21). With the physical damage halved, and adding the full necrotic damage, Jorin takes 14 damage.
• Jorin (init 6) is in full battle fury, with Volo to guide his movements. He strikes twice (16, 29), with the second a critical hit. The total damage is 35 points. Jorin uses a Second Wind to heal 3 points.
• Hildigrim (init 6) and Drusk (init 6) were unsuccessful in their attacks.

The zombie took 46 damage that round. With Jorin's critical strike, the Greater Zombie collapses into a pile of foul-smelling table scraps and foul liquid. Drusk calls out, "that is not normal, for any kind of a zombie".

(Only the master thief remains.)

Status:

Between the damage and the healing, Jorin took another point of damage, and is at 18 HP.

The Master Thief has taken a total of 57 damage. (Greater Zombie has been destroyed. The other two adventurers are in a drunken slumber.)

Jorin is at the front doors, 45' south of the Master Thief. Drusk and Quillary in combat with the ghost-possessed Master Thief at the dining table. Pascal is 15' to the west of them. Hildigrim is a bit south of the stage, 25' to the north.

Drusk suggests not using spells or ranged attacks on the thief, but only non-lethal melee attacks. Jorin will need to Dash to reach the thief, but he can use his hastened-action to do that. If Hildigrim wishes to attack with his sword this round, he can drop his bow and draw his sword as a free action this round.

Everyone can post their actions for the round, including an initiative roll.

Oh yes, Jorin is feeling the full rush of battle.  He hasn't been in such a prolonged engagement, with so many opponants, in a long time.  He rushes, head long, to where the thief stands and reigns blows down upon him!  Non-lethal, of course.

• Initiative 20
• Move + Haste Action: Dash to the Thief
• Action: Battleaxe Attack: 3 + 26 Damage: 11
• Bonus Action: Moonblade Attack: 2 + 9 Damage: 8
• 5 Divine Fury damage 
• Another d20 if Volo helps me out! 12

Quillary's face falls as Jorin's foe goes down before hers, but she frowns and lays into the thief.

Alert: that damage is wrong, it thinks I got a critical because I critted the d4 for bless... it should be 7 for the club + 5 for poison = 12 dmg (not 19)

Action: Attack thief with Shillelagh, blessed, but non-lethal, 26 to hit, for 14 non-lethal magical bludgeoning damage and 5 additional poison damage if it hits.
Reaction: Halo of spores on thief, Con Save vs DC 15 or 5 necrotic damage

Initiative (if needed): 14

Does the Thief get another attack before it goes down? (He had 27 hp left. Quillary did 12 and Jorin got 16.) Initiative: 17

Will the Thief hit Quillary even once before the fighting stops?  Attack: 17 Damage: 7

The dwarf whiffs for one last time. Quillary and Jorin give him a solid beating, which causes him to slump over unconscious. A ghostly mist leaves his body, and escapes into the floor.

Drusk will spend a 3rd level slot on Cure Wounds on Jorin. Heal: 22  Jorin is now at 42 hp.

The shrieking (by both men and women) finally ends. The tavern is in shambles. The 3 adventurers are passed out and bruised, but will be okay in the morning. The bard is still sitting on the stage, gathering his belongings.

The two patrons (who were struck down by the possessed adventurers) are okay. (OOC: For the death saves, 1 failure and 6 successes.)

There is some commotion at the front doors. A patron looking outside yells to everyone that the city guard will arrive in a minute or so.

(OOC: End of combat, huzzah! You have some time to do stuff before you have to deal with the city guard.) 

Pascal will leave the spell going, but shouts over to Jorin, “Mon ami, just to let you know, your gonna hit a wall real hard soon, so just take it easy, yeah?”

Hildigrim puts his bow away and looks at the bard. "What was that?!"

Jorin stows his weapons with a flourish, feeling quite pleased about the performance of his newly smithed axe.  He dash over to one of the downed patrons and begins wrapping some rags around the wounds.  Right about the time Pascal warns him about the crash, Jorin puts a hand to his head, wobbles, and tips over onto the floor from the kneeling position he had taken.  He sits up slowly and groans, hand held to his head.

Quillary grabs a full flagon from some table or other and offers it to Jorin, but her face is serious. "The dead must accept their transition, this possession is an affront. And that," she indicates the steaming pile of what used to be the zombie, "Is worse. When displaced, the ghosts went down, into the floor. Is there a basement? Perhaps un unknown graveyard below?" She looks about in the chaos for an employee.

Rooster walks up to Hildigrim and shakes his hand. "Thank you so much for ridding me of that ghost. I could see and hear what was going on, but I had no control over my body's actions. My shins hurt, but I suppose it would have been worse if your struck my face and marred my good looks.

"I am Rooster Cinderelm, the elf bard extraordinaire. Let me thank all of you. I could write your names in song, for the heroic saving of the people in the famous (checks his notes) Flag-Horned Flagon!"
