Rhanloi's Romp Through the Sword Coast

• Wakka uses the powers of his mind to make a Matrix-style super leap towards the tiefling priestess!
• Manfred, unfortunately, is still affected by the fearful scream of the priestess and stands in place.

Round 12 (con't): Tricerafred{-71/95 HP} : Penumbra{-9} : Wakka{-6} : Droop{-0} : Perkas{-0} : Berserker 1(-9) : Berserker 2(-76) : Tiefling(-55)
Range finder:
0' - Tiefling & Penumbra 
20' - Tricerafred & Berserker #1
30' - Wakka 
90' - Droop
100' - Perkas 

Penumbra remains above the mage and casts Chill touch on her once again.

Attack: 19 Damage: 10

Droop reaches Perkas and hands her Penumbra's bolts. (15) The little goblin quickly heads back towards the battle and sends two arrows at Berserker 1.

Attack: 24 Damage: 5

Extra  Attack: 9 Damage: 10

Perkas will give droop a pat on the head "thanks buddy! Go get em'" 

She runs forward her 30 feet and lines up her shot with the tiefling Hunter's Mark

She fires off 2 shots in quick succession 

Bolt 1: 18 to hit /  dmg: 9+4 hm =13

Bolt 2: 24 to hit /  dmg: 9+4 hm =13

Bolt count: 3+15(from penumbra) -2=16

• Penumbra continues her chill attacks on the priestess, the spectral hand clutching at the tiefling.
• Droop drops a quiver of bolts for Perkas before moving back towards the priestess. He looses a pair of arrows at the last berserker, hitting him once.
• Perkas moves forward, picking up the quiver of bolts and catching up to Droop before loosing a pair of bolts, hitting with both.
• The berserker#1 manages to withstand the punishment inflicted by the crossbow, standing his ground and swing his battle axe at the dinosaur next to him. Attack: 13 Damage: 9
• The priestess clears her vision enough to target Wakka with a lightning bolt as he comes under the edge of her magical clouds... (DC14 cha save or take 13 dmg. 1/2 on successful roll.) (Also: DC10 concentration: 13)

Round 13: Tricerafred{-71/95 HP} : Penumbra{-9} : Wakka{-6} : Droop{-0} : Perkas{-0} : Berserker 1(-40) : Tiefling(-65)
Range finder:
0' - Tiefling & Penumbra 
20' - Tricerafred & Berserker #1
30' - Wakka 
70' - Droop and Perkas

Realising the thing trying to injure him is a humanoid, and not a fly, Manotops tries to gore him

Attack: 23 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

CHA ST: 14

• Manfred angrily catches the last berserker on the horns of a dilemma - well, his triceratops head, and flings the now lifeless corpse out of the way!

Round 13: Tricerafred{-71/95 HP} : Penumbra{-9} : Wakka{-6} : Droop{-0} : Perkas{-0} : Berserker 1(-71) : Tiefling(-65)
Range finder:
0' - Tiefling & Penumbra 
20' - Tricerafred 
30' - Wakka 
70' - Droop and Perkas

(Disregard previous post banner - I made the mistake of adding dice rolls at the end and it threw everything off...the berserker missed tricerafred and the lightning damage was a lot less - like 14...)

Perkas is going to fire twice more at the tiefling priestess.

Bolt 1: to hit:18  / damage 12+2(hm)=14

Bolt 2: to hit: 13  /damage 13+6(hm)=19

Movement: None

Bonus action: None

Bolt count: 14

Perkas' magic-imbued crosbow bolts find their marks and drop the tiefling priestess, ending the combat. The triceratops looks pretty slashed up, but the rest of the party fared surprisingly well.

You have no time to recover, however, as the watery marshland to the west begins to bubble and roil. Lightning continues to flash in the sky, no longer controlled by the priestess. You can see several humanoid forms lying on muddy marsh islands 60 feet from the shore. The waist-high water between the shore and the islands suddenly erupts as three large watery forms emerge. (Map)

(Oops, I must have been posting at the same time as Rhanloi, disregard this post.)

How far are we from the water monsters?

(Penumbra and wakkas attacks should have been before mine. Sorry was just posting pre-emptively cause I knew my day was gonna be a bit crazy. I didn't mean to steal the kill, I didn't think it would take it down. My bad I'm sorry. 😞)

You guys are about 10-15 feet from the edge of the water, the water creatures materialized about 30 feet out, and the islands with the humanoid figures on the ground is 60 feet out. (So 40-45 feet to the creatures and 70-75 feet to the island.) The water doesn't appear to be too deep - maybe 2-6 feet deep? Definitely smaller fishing boats around...

"What did I miss..."  Wakka began as he rose from his leap before the watery creatures materialized from the water.  Pointing at them with his glacial axe, he added, "I'm assuming they're not friends of ours like our large friend (Manfred) back there correct?"  

The battle done, the Triceratops remembers it was originally something, someone, else - someone who hurt a lot less, having taken some very nasty wounds in the fight. Also someone who was never afraid. Suddenly it’s surrounded by a shimmer of light and a moment later a halfling is stood in its place, looking a little abashed.

’Sorry guys, I saw the tiefling casting a nasty spell and just reacted… What’s worse is that I didn’t get there in time to stop their ritual…’

He looks at the new entrants ‘That doesn’t look good, but maybe we can reason with them, now their summoner is dead. Does anyone speak Primordial?’

As the group is discussing the new water creatures, they begin to move to the small island with the seemingly unconscious people on it. (If you are taking some action against the water creatures, roll initiative and post what you want to do. Or you can wait and see what's going to happen before you take any action.)

Perkas catches up with the group while staring slack-jawed at the creatures rising from the water. As she gapes anyone close would hear her mutter to herself 'By Yondalla's Grace' She shakes her head to snap back into reality.

She claps Manfred on the shoulder and a little out of breath and pants out 'Welcome back magic Man.' She ruffles his hair 'I knew you had a reason. And this is indeed sooooome reason.' She shakes her head as she looks at the water creatures. 'I can't speak that, but I what can say is, I'm in awe.......and I hope they can be friendly.'

Manfred takes a closer look at the watery beings, trying to determine what he might know of their disposition, potential threats & weaknesses etc… (Arcana: 18)

’I think the tiefling was intending to make them attack the city, but in the meantime I’m not happy about them moving towards those unconscious people over there. Feels like a potential sacrifice…? I say we need to either head to the island so we can defend the people, or attack them to draw them away. I prefer the latter, because we can do it from dry land here, which has got to help. No way am I going swimming there!’

(Mobile)

Wakka peeled his eyes away from the water creatures and down towards Manni.  "I still dont really know what's going on, but if you think we've got to stop them, then let's do that!"  Giving him a thumbs up and a smile, he added, "How do you want to try and lure then back though?  They don't seem to care about us much.  I could maybe 'fly' over there and try and block them from the bodies?"

Wakka initiative: 9

"I can fly over as well, Perhaps Wakka and I can buzz em like annoying flies and try to get their attention so we can draw them back this way. Failing that we can try to get between them and the sleepers. No time to waist." Penumbra takes off and flies towards one of the creatures making sure to stay out of it's reach. she circles in front of it and casts Firebolt at it's gigantic face.

Attack: 11 Damage: 8

(Movement, Cunning action to get the rest of the way and Fire bolt for my attack.)

Droop waits on shore with an arrow nocked and ready to go. 

Penumbra initiative: 21

Droop Initiative: 13

(Penumbra waits for Wakka before taking flight so that they can act at the same time before we start the fight.)

Perkas quickly looks around while Wakka, Penumbra and Manfred are coming up with a plan. She needs more bolts and she knows it as the sinking feeling in her gut rises to her throat. 

"I'll be right back" and Perkas runs as fast her little legs can go to the magic caster she took down and grabs as many bolts as she can from its lifeless body. While she's doing that does she notice anything on the body that could be helpful.

Investigation check: Nat 20 for a 21! (Woot woot)

 With whatever she finds and bolts she can gather she rushes back to Manny and hands over whatever she found with a smile. 'Here, will this help?' 

(Might be too much for a round, so if it takes a few that's ok)
