"Just keep hitting it! We've no other options!" Thomas yells as he fires again.

“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?"
"Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied

"What about fire? Don't we have any grenades left?" Sarah calls out.Ooc- sad grenades are sad.

"Keep up the bloody pressure!" Aleister yells to no one in particular.
Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
Getting the feeling this was all a very bad mistake, Sarah fires again.
Attack: 24 Damage: 12
As a bonus action, she also invokes her Hexblade's Curse.
Max and Uthvern open the door and wait either side. George readies a shot
22 George fires his readied shot and misses
18 Max steps back to make sure that there is no line of sight to the Pitcher of Doom TM "If it can't see us it'll have to come in the room."
13 The Creature drops from the roof and stands about 30' from the door. He peers into the room (4) and catches a glimpse of Sarah. He winds up like a Major League pitcher and lets fly a rock 29 A critical hit 47 Damage resistance for half damage 23. Granny is unconscious on the ground (and no I didn't forget your darkness)
Edit because no one remembered
The Creature drops from the roof and stands about 30' from the door. He peers into the room (4) and catches a glimpse of Sarah. He winds up like a Major League pitcher and lets fly a rock 29 A critical hit 47 Her armour protects her from the critical hit and she takes 27/2 = 13 - 10 (THP) = 3 Granny takes 13 There is a chance the critical hit destroyed her armour 9

9 Sarah (Oops, missed your post 30 ago) fires into the creature for 7 damage
5 Thomas merely takes aim at the apparition, have Gamliel swoop down on it's obscure form to aid his shot. He then uses the room's contents to hide once again. Crossbow Attack: 14 Damage: 13 Stealth 11
3 Uthvern waits out of sight near the door ready to attack
Round 2
22 George fires again 'Keep the pressure on him' 10 Damage
18 Max sees how the battle is playing out so he looks to Uthvern "Come on!" and moves out to strike at the creature 15 for 10 damage
13 The Creature has Max beating on him so he attacks back 21 12 for a hit and 23 damage
10 Aleister fires and misses again then uses much bad language
9 Sarah shoots and hits again for 7 damage
5 Thomas wishes his magic worked faster, especially in situations like this as he fires yet again and then hides again.
Stealth 16
Crossbow Attack: 24 Damage: 17
3 Uthvern joins Max in melee with the creature. He cuts it for 7 damage

3 Uthvern getting mad about the creature attacking Max so he hits it twice for 14 damage
Round 4
22 George puts another arrow into the creature for 5 damage
18 Max cuts again 12 and just manages a hit for 6
13 The Creature disengages from Max and Uthvern and flees (40') the fight at an angle from the door so that all inside lose line-of-sight. It started 30' from the door so that makes it 70' from those in the building. Any shot in the dark has disadvantage. Those that lost sight will need a DC 12 perception check to require it.
10 Aleister
9 Sarah
5 Thomas
3 Uthvern
Damage
Sarah 3/24
Creature 155
Max 28/34
OOC: If possible, can Sarah use her Perception check to follow that thing, moving so she can shoot as rolled?
It moved out of your line-of-sight so you have to leave the warehouse and make a DC 12 Perception roll to reacquire it. Unlike the others you have Devil's Sight so you can see in the dark so you won't take disadvantage for shooting in the dark. If you actually see it you will hit it and kill it as it is very badly wounded.
OOC: Okay, then I will move out and try the perception check below. Use the previous combat roll.

As the creature flees, Aleister will patch up Max a bit, rather than waste his energy flailing around trying for a 'rambo'.
Cure Wounds 7
Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
George steps through the doorway to try to reacquire the creature and finish him off
21
Attack: 8 Damage: 9
Uthvern will use perception to look, but stay with Max and Aleister
Perception 6
Sarah steps out of the warehouse and sees the fleeing creature. An arrow to the back puts it down. George manages to hit as well so it is really dead.
Einstein sniffs the fallen body and then bites it on its upper arm.
"I hope there was only one," Sarah says with fervor. "Should we drag that thing into the warehouse? I have to say I'm curious about it and maybe Aleister might be able to tell us more. I'd also like some time to catch my breath and heal a little."
Ooc - I know it doesn't matter now, but we all have Darkvision refreshed every day.
Thomas agrees -"We should find out what natural creature they perverted into this weapon."
“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?"
"Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied
― Barbara Hambly, The Witches of Wenshar
Sarah helps to drag the thing back into the warehouse and then begins examining it. Are there any tales of monsters and magic that would make sense of this?
Arcana 20
There is nothing magical about this creature. It's based on some sort of primate that has been genetically modified. Possibly orangutan.
"I think we should check this place out when it gets light and everybody is rested." Aleister looks around, "We will need to find stuff to rig up transportation for the armor, and what ever else we can find." He will use herbal medicines to try and heal Max up a bit more.
OCC What does he roll for that anyway? Max is not at 0 htpts. If, after a rest he needs more healing Aleister will use he druidic abilities for that purpose.
Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
When you use a healer's kit to stabilize a dying creature, that creature also regains 1 HP. As an action, you can spend one use of a healer's kit to tend to a creature and restore 1d6 + 4 HP to it, plus additional HP equal to the creature's maximum number of Hit Dice. The creature can't regain HP from this feat again until it finishes a short or long rest.
So in Max's case it would be 1d6+7
Uthvern grunts at the creature. "I'll take first watch tonight. Everyone get some sleep while you can."
