Road to Phandalin

Otrov

Despite not feeling very well, Otrov wants to get to a point where she can see the skull if she peeks out around a corner - if she needs to move to do that then she will.  She will then fire at the skull:  Attack: 18 Damage: 10    She'll hide from the skull (stealth - 9 ) 

 [yeesh, how is this thing looking DM?  not really hurt at all or what?]

Disadvantage roll - 10

*lucky - 19 

She adds "It looks like it has the same spell as us magic missals don't seem to work Nobody you might as well spit at it!" 

Quote from Stormbringer4729 >>

Margret does what she does best she sheaths Talon bonus actions her bow aims but holds her action she looses her arrow when it comes out. "Talk to us!"

Attack: 14 Damage: 8 

she doesn't shoot if it starts talking without attacking

(I suppose we are still at disadvantage)  

 
I count this ^^ as Round 8:

 Otrov your bolt hits its mark but it does not as much damage as normal.

Round 8 starts here:

Margarets shoot is deflected by the shield.

The skull comes out from behind his cover and Dain uses his reaction to shoot, but misses. Two more streaks of fire form and the skull shoots (N/M/D) 5 one at Nobody and one at Dain:

• Attack vs Nobody: 16 Damage: 8
• Attack vs Dain: Attack: 6 Damage: 14

 before it takes cover behind another stalaktite.

Margret feels frustrated knowing how shield works hoping that this thing's magic is as limited as hers

"I wish I could hide so I can get advantage on this thing." 

Attack: 17 Damage: 6 

Either taking her literally, or having been pushed further pass the brink at the creature's arcane trick, Nobody literally does spit at the skull. A nice, black loogie that explode around it. As he did so, he mentally demanded Karasym sneak its way into the mouth of the room from the left tunnel and wait someplace hidden for further instructions.

Action: Cast Dragon Spit, inflicting 3 Acid Damage on a failed Dexterity Save[DC 12].

Karasym's Movement: Fly over to bottom left of smelter.

Karasym's Action: Hide - 24.

Dain takes another shot, if it is back to his turn again, readied with him waiting until any active shield spell goes down to fire. He is working to get the skull out of shield spells if he can manage it... Rollowing with disadvantage:

To hit: 14 Damage: 5

Dex save: 10+mod, makes it.

Dain bolt hits. It doesn’t make much damage but nonetheless the blurry shape of the skull flickers for a moment, before it is clearly visible again. Con save:7/fail

Otrov

She pops out from around her hiding spot and unleashed another bolt. Attack: 7 Damage: 5

And then she will hide again. 24
[Didn’t include sneak attack since none are in melee and I think it knows I’m here.  If sneak applies, here it is. 6 ]

You hide after your attack on your last turn (18 stealth) so right now you are hidden. This gives you advantage on that attack 13. Having advantage grants you sneak attack bonus damage.

After makeing the attack you are not hidden any longer, but you try to hide again (8 stealth).  Anything under 10 you can safely assume is a fail.

Otrovs hidden attack surprises the Flameskull and does some damage. (Not as much as expected, but more then any other attack before.)

You start to see some effects on the Flameskull.

Round 9:

Otrov

Happy to hear the satisfying smack of her bolt making some damage on the skull, Otrov smiles. She winces as she does so, the effects of the fire still paining her - she swoons at the pain. She grits her teeth and fires at the skull again, and after that she will try to sink back into the comfort of the shadows/cover. (She’ll move locations - somewhere still with a vector on the skull if she pops out). Attack: 8 Damage: 9  [if there is advantage from a familiar or something then here: 25 ]
Stealth - 17

Your second bolt misses its mark and as you disappear into the shadows, you notice that the skull is scaning the cave for a moment looking for someone, before it stops and focus two more streaks of fire on (N/M/D:6) Dain and Nobody again.

• Attack: 14 Damage: 14 vs Nobody
• Attack: 21 Damage: 12 vs Dain 

It then hovers over and behind the furnace to get out of your sight. (total cover)

Map:

 Reminder, the furnace is 10ft high and can be climbed easily. The bellows are difficult terrain. 
Dain, you are in the entrance of the tunnel that connects to the banquet cavarn. The furnace is 20 ft to your left and it is a 20 by 20 square that is 10ft high. You can circle around it on the south side, but on the north the path is obstructed by the bellows that supply air to the furnace.

(From the sounds of it Dain cannot get into melee reach, or line-of-sight to the skull this round, at least not with an attack still possible. His speed is 25 feet, so cannot move to the furnace and climb, as that would take 40 feet of movement, 20 to get there and double movement to climb the ten feet. Also going around the south end I'm guessing is out of range, as it takes 20 to get there, 20 to move to the south end, and another 20 to move to the far side, so 60 feet of movement. Not even a dash is going to get him into line-of sight going around. If this is all true, then Dain's action is as stated below.)

Dain will move to the furnace, and climb up it, using a dash action. he will move within melee reach of the skull, thus giving it disadvantage on any ranged attack it makes.

Do you want to stay on top of the furnace or jump down next to the skull (DC 10 Acrobatics to avoid damage, a DC 5 not to land prone).

You will be within melee regardless of your choice.

I don't have the movement for that. It would take more than a dash to jump down...

Jumping down is gravity, no additional movement needed, but you would need an Acrobatics check to see if you stick the landing.

Like i said, staying on top or jumping down, both puts you within melee range.

(Supposing I can attack now)

Margret takes aim with her bow Attack: 10 Damage: 9

Margret moves into the cavern around the forge and stops at the bottom part of the forge away from the skull but in sight shooting her bow 

11 Damage: 7

The flaming skull is hidden behind the furnace and got total cover from you at the moment. The spioler in the first post on this page contains a map if you want.

Still spitting mad, Nobody circles around the south end of the furnace. By the time he is just south of the skull again, Karasym has already acted as bided, making a general nuisance of itself about the skull to keep its attention. "You can't hide from me." He spat as he brought up the crossbow and fired on the skull, not even caring about any resistance it might have in the heat of the moment.

(Karasym will move to just to the immediate north of the skull, and perform the Help action for clarity)

Movement: Around southern end of furnace until directly south of the Skull

Action: Shoot most injured looking Flamingskull target w/ Somebody.
To Hit: 19 For: Unable to parse dice roll. non-magical piercing damage.
