Results of that round

• The 2 wolves missed Drusk, and one of the scarecrow slashes did 6 damage to Drusk.
• Drusk killed Wolf1 with a critical hit. Jorin hit with both attacks (just barely with the battle-ax), which killed Wolf2.
• Quillary attacked the Scarecrow. She inflicted 2 necrotic with her nimbus of spores. Her attack might have missed (9), except she emerged from hiding, making her swing more effective (7+6 = 13 for the Advantage). Her spell-enhanced club does another 12 damage.
• Pascal lets loose a Firebolt at the scarecrow for 11 more damage.
• The werewolf emerges from hiding, biting Quillary for 8 damage. She is able to push it away before its bite can infect her. (DC 12 CON save - she rolls 17+1 = 18.)

Pascal and Hildigrim are a short distance away from the action. Drusk, Quillary, and Jorin are in melee range of an unharmed Werewolf (in hybrid form) and a Scarecrow (25 damage so far). The other 2 wolves (ordinary) are dead. No one is in hiding anymore.

Everyone post their actions for round 2. Include an Initiative roll, and an extra d20 in case I need it.

Quillary grimaces and pivots to swing at the werewolf with her magical club.

Action: Attack werewolf with magical club: 14 to hit, for 11 magical bludgeoning damage.
Reaction: Halo of Spores on werewolf, Con save vs DC 14 or take 4 necrotic damage.

Initiative: 4
Extra d20: 2
Con Save for maintaining concentration on Pass Without Trace last round: 8

Edit: crossing my fingers those extra rolls don't aren't actually needed, and also, Pass Without Trace is done for... sigh.

Hildigrim initiative: 10

Hildigrim, seeing the scarecrow is in fact a danger, helps Pascal hit it again while firing an arrow at the werewolf.

+1 shortbow attack: 11; damage: 8 piercing damage

Sneak attack if appropriate: 8

Extra d20: 11

Volo initiative: 3

Welp, I was going to have Volo help someone, but his initiative is too low to help anyone this round. Can the help be stored for next round? It's hard when I don't know who's going to go next. The idea is to distract the werewolf and then fly out of harm's way again.

(OoC: That is the biggest problem I have with concurrent initiative. If a character with low initiative Helps, and then rolls high Initiative the next round, then they are no help at all !

What I will do is this... You can Help, regardless of your Initiative order, provided that neither of you has Delayed. If both characters Delay, then the Help works in that situation.

So in this situation, Hildigrim shoots an arrow at Initiative 10, but he can Help Pascal, even if Pascal has a faster Initiative. If Pascal decided to Delay, then the Help is lost... Volo can also commit to Help-ing anyone this round, even with the slow Initiative.

I reserve the right to change this, if problems come up, or someone thinks of a better way. But for now, try it this way.)

 OOC > Longer response on our party PM, but yes, this ruling is exactly how it should work...

Jorin goes to swing on the werewolf, but thinks his weapons will be of more use against the scarecrow and aims is fury at that instead!

• Move: None
• Action: Moonblade Attack: 20 Damage: 5
• Bonus Action: Battleaxe Attack: 25 Damage: 11

Drusk is now facing something immune to his mace (werewolf), or something resistant to his mace (scarecrow). He decides to bathe the Werewolf in the warm glow of Lliira's love.

Sacred Flame, DC 13 DEX save or take 5 radiant.

Drusk initiative: 13, Werewolf d20 for DEX save: 6, extra d20 if needed: 5

(Pascal is still up.)

Pascal is going to place his hand on his diamond necklace as it glows with a reddish hue. In an instant, he fires off two burning Chromatic Orbs toward the Werewolf and the Scarecrow

Initiative: 10
Attacks: Attack: 11 Damage: 13 fire damage (22 if I have Help) and Attack: 13 Damage: 16 fire damage

The Scarecrow will continue clawing at Drusk. Initiative: 7

• Claw1 Attack: 22 Damage: 5
• Claw2 Attack: 20 Damage: 8

The Werewolf will bite and claw Quillary. Initiative: 20, CON save: 11

• Bite Attack: 10 Damage: 7
• Claw Attack: 18 Damage: 10

In case saving throws are needed, two more d20 rolls. Drusk: 15, Quillary: 14

And Jorin's initiative: 10

What happened that round

• Werewolf (init 20) missed with its bite, but claws Quillary for 10 damage.
• Pascal (init 13) shoots a burning Orb at the werewolf, which hits (17) for 13 damage. He sends another Orb at the scarecrow, which would have missed (6) except that Hildigrim was Helping Pascal to attack the scarecrow (23). The scarecrow takes 15 fire damage, which is enough to burn it to ashes.
• Jorin (init 10) was a bit conflicted on who to attack, but the exploding scarecrow simplified his choices. The battle-axe does no damage to the werewolf despite a solid strike, but the moon-glow sword does 5 magical damage.
• Hildigrim (init 10) shoots an arrow at the werewolf, but misses (11) the agile creature.
• Drusk is grateful that Pascal destroyed the Scarecrow (init 7), because it was about to hit Drusk twice for 13 damage.
• Quillary (init 4) attacks the werewolf with her magic club. Volo was helping her, but the werewolf was not distracted (2 for the advantage d20). She still connects (14) for 11 magic bludgeoning. The werewolf fails its CON save (11), so it takes another 4 necrotic from Halo of Spores.
• Drusk (init 4) sends a Sacred Flame at the werewolf. It is unable to avoid the holy microwaves, and takes 4 radiant damage.

Scarecrow is no more. The werewolf has taken 37 damage so far.

Quillary has taken 18 damage total. (Has not been infected by lycanthropy.) Drusk has taken 6 damage.

Everyone can pile on the Werewolf for round 3.

Jorin roars as he sees Quillary take multiple hits from the werewolf.  He lashes out with the moonblade, giving no heed to his own safety.

• Initiative
• Bonus Action: RAGE
• Action: Reckless Moonblade Attack: 21 Damage: 9 + 2 radiant damage as the power of the eight channels through his fury. (+1 more radiant damage as I forgot to add half my Barb level)

Edit - Several days later, GuiltySparc is reading his fellow adventurers' actions and notices that he totally wrote Initiaive and totally didn't actually roll for it...here it is.  Also, if Hildi ends up going before Jorin, then Jorin will not attack recklessly and instead benefit from Hildi's bonus help action. Initiative: 3

Quillary knows when to fold ‘em. She engages in some fancy footwork and steps back out of range of the werewolf, waving her club defensively as she goes. Then she says a few guttural words while glancing at Drusk.

Action: Disengage from combat
Move: Backwards 15’
Bonus Action: Cast Healing Word on Drusk for 5 healing

Pascal then turns his attention fully to the wolf, “Time for a flambé!”

Fire Bolt! Attack: 13 Damage: 1 Fire damage

Initiative: 20

d20: 15

Apparently, I fire the world’s SMALLEST flame.

Pascal gags and coughs, “Agh, dry mouth!”

Hildi's initiative: 17

Volo's initiative: 9

Scowling at the werewolf's fancy footwork, Hildigrim directs Volo to swoop just in time to distract the lycanthrope as he fires his next arrow. Before or after this, the halfling says some insightful directions to the raging Jorin to help him hit the beast.

Hildi's action: +1 shortbow attack: 20; damage: 5 piercing damage

Sneak attack if appropriate: 5

Bonus: help Jorin vs. the werewolf

Volo's action: help Hildigrim vs. the werewolf

In case I need it, Quillary initiative: 16, Jorin's initiative: 10

Drusk: will try another Sacred Flame. Damage 3 radiant. Werewolf DEX save: 13

Werewolf attack will depend on the initiative: 7. If it is before Quillary, then her. If after Jorin, then him (since he was reckless). Otherwise Drusk.

• Bite Attack: 10 Damage: 9
• Claw Attack: 8 Damage: 6

Quillary is unconscious. (Does not use Healing Word.) CON save: 8

What happened that round

• Werewolf (init 21) - bites and claws Quillary, sending her to 0 hp.
• Jorin (init 20) attacks recklessly, for 11 damage (magic + radiant)
• Pascal (init 20) strikes with a Firebolt for 1 damage.
• Hildigrim (init 17) hits with an arrow for 10 damage (magic + sneak)
• Drusk uses Sacred Flame for 4 radiant damage
• Quillary is unconscious (0 hp).

The werewolf has taken 26 damage, for a total of 63 damage. That is enough to finish it. Combat is over.

Drusk uses a 2nd level Cure Wounds on Quillary. She now has 17 HP.

As she recovers later, she will realize she is infected with lycanthropy. (It will be a few days before the full moon, so she will have some time to deal with the curse before it manifests.)

EDIT: Drusk will cast another 1st level Cure Wounds on Quillary, for 12. She now has 18 HP.   (What's with the 1, 3, 1 rolls?)

OOC: At some point, Hildigrim recovers one of the two arrows he shot.

Hildigrim kneels down next to Quillary as Drusk is healing her. The halfling hovers over the half-elf. "Quillary? Quillary, are you OK?"

(OOC: Wanted to give Quillary and Pascal a chance to respond, before pushing forward.)

Pascal looks to Hildigrim secretly, pulls out his big knife and makes the line across his neck, “Want me to do the ol’ chop chop?” motion.
