Chronero - Single Player DnD

A familiar voice from the other side of the door says, "No point in hiding. We already know you're there. Come in. I have a score to settle with one of you."

Tomoe curse. Well,  I guess suprise is off the table. It is clearly not in our favor to engage as instructed. Should we make them come out to us? 

Lucia looks grim and says, "I... don't think we have much of a choice. The fortress may be made of wood but it's too big to burn. We could have tried burning it if we had more time but we don't. If we stand out here, we're going to be attacked from both sides by the guys who are in the fortress and the party that returns after realizing they've been had. It doesn't look good for us Chief." She sighs and says, "They way I see it, the only two options that we have is pressing on or retreating. If we retreat though, it's going to be ten times harder to bring Boss Rat down. If we press on, we'd be fighting on their terms which I really don't like. Argh! What to do here."

We know it's a trap on the other side of this door. We could open the door, but hide out of sight and make them come out, hopefully letting us at their flank and into the building.

"Yes Let's try that."

Hiding behind the cover of the walls, you push open the door. As the large double door creaks open... nothing. There is no attack. The familiar voice says, "I know you can hear me. I know you're hiding somewhere over there." It pauses for a bit before continuing. "Do you recognize me? I'm King. I know you're here to take down Boss Rat and destroy Rat Liver once and for all. Rat Liver is my family. I can't let you guys take them down. Though ever since you let me go that time, I've been doing some soul-searching and I can understand why you would want to stop us. I still stand by Rat Liver but I understand. So, I want to make a deal." King states his proposal, "I have a score to settle with the one that bested me in combat. I want to have a one-on-one battle to the end with Brown Fox (Kate). If I win, you leave this place and don't fight us anymore. You leave us alone and we will leave you alone. Rat Liver will not attack you anymore.Just ignore us and we will forget and forgive everything that's happened so far. If Kate wins, my people will step aside and let you confront Boss Rat directly and without any resistance." He pauses for a bit before saying, "Many of us have already died. I don't want anymore to die."

(...I forgot who king is.)

Tomoe sigh. She looks to the others and says Can we trust them? Should we try and put this whole thing to rest. she muses quietly to heself I wounder why we still fight them. 

(King is the first orc Kate fought way back when. The guy she knocked out and dragged to base to interrogate.)

Kate thinks for a while and says, "Let me do it. If I do it and we win, we have a clear shot to the Boss. If I lose, we can break the deal and attack them anyway. You've got resurrection potions so it should be fine."

(Oh right, that guy. I figured he might be pissed because kind of tourchered him.)Tomoe slowly revieled herself. IIf you promise a fair fight, we will aswell. I do not like death anymore than you. Tomoe nods to Kate. Show him a good time .

Kate and the group step forward. King stands in golden plate armor holding a broad bladed claymore with a red hilt. On his metal chest piece bears an emblem depicting a helmet in front of two cross swords. Lucia lets you know that this is the symbol of Romel, the god of Thunder, War and Heroism (Not heretical). The room the party enters appears to be a kind of mess hall. The gates they entered from lead to large room with wide stairs on the north wall that go up. Two doors lie on the south wall open. These leads to the small guard boxes that the archers were shooting from. The east and west walls all have two doors each. There is a chandelier that hangs from the wooden ceiling. There are two rows of tables in the mess hall. The orc says, "So you agree to the challenge and the conditions?" "Yes Bring it on." "Then may the war god  bless our honorable duel tonight and may anyone who deviates from the rules be cursed forever with the god of heroism and combat's displeasure (Breaking the rules will result in bad things happening later down the line)" Though still a bit confident in his abilities, he seems a lot more reserved and humbled compared to how he was the first time Kate fought him. It seems King was a changed man. With King stands two human snipers, both wearing leather armor and holding longbows.

King lays down the rules of the combat, "We will fight at the center of this room under the chandelier. We will start out 30ft away from each other and each one of us will have a few seconds (1 round) to prepare ourselves. When we are ready, we step forward and the combat begins proper. Attacking anyone during the preparation round is strictly forbidden and will be seen as a breach of the terms of the duel. Only you will fight only me, Kate. If either of our allies and friends intervene then it will be breach of the terms. Now let us begin."

Initiative:
King: 8
Kate: 7

DM: You will be controlling Kate for this battle. This is the prep round. I suggest giving Kate potions to use mid-combat if things get bad and placing any buff spells on her if you have them. During this prep round, you may give Kate up to 2 potions (to hold) per action. You may use any potions on her as an action. You may cast spells that target enemies but not anything that forces Saving throws, does damage or cause status conditions.

During his prep round, King cast Hunter's Mark on Kate (This is allowed). He then mentally prepares himself for the battle ahead.

Ingrid casts Shield of Faith on Kate with her last spell slot, raising Kate's AC to 18

Lucia... can't really do anything to help so she messages Kate's... one non-metallic shoulder and gives her a pep-talk, "You've got this Kate. Show them why they shouldn't mess with you."

What does Kate and Tomoe do on their prep turns?

Would she have to have the resurrection potion on her or is it basicly revivfiy in a bottle so i would have one minute to use it on her?

Resurrection potions will work as long as the battle continues. If Kate is dead, she won't be able to use it so no point in giving it to her. However, because of Death Saves, Tomoe will have anwhere from 2-5 rounds to get Kate back up with regular potions and failing that, use a resurrection potion, provided you choose to risk being cursed by the war god and attack King and his allies.

I would suggest giving her potions of healing.

So King intends to keep Kate's corpse if he wins?

Tomoe hand Kate a pair of her 2nd strongest potions. Crush him.

Yes.

Kate takes the two Potions of Healing (Supreme) and gives Tomoe an nod "I will. Don't worry."

Does Kate do any prep during this prep round?

Probobly pre rage. Not sure what else she can do.

And King said he would let all of us go, he never said he would keep Kate if he won so it would be him risking his gods ire if he is a sore winner. 

((Nah he did say Kate would die if he won so that includes keeping Kate from being resurrected for a bit. Eeeeh, we'll think about it if Kate fails.))

Kate activates Rage as BA on her prep round.

Kate takes out her great sword and steps forward. King also finishes meditating and moves. The two stand 30ft apart.

Kate's turn.

King HP: 52/52
Kate - Shield of Faith Count 2
King - Concentrating on Hunter's Mark on Kate.

Battle Music:

(Oh, king and Tomoe will have words if he doesnt act like an honorable victor. Assuming he wins as Kate is no pushover)

Kate advances on King and makes the first offense, she swings her sword with reckless abandon I'm hipes of ending the fight soon.

(Please remind me if I forget something. Idk what her arm does for her and im unfamiliar with storm barbarians) 

MA attack twice with reckless attacks.

1st Attack: 17 Damage: 23

2nd Attack: 18 Damage: 22

BA fire aura

Idk if I did it right but she used great weapon master on both swings.

You did it right mostly. Did not pay much attention to damage because... both attack missed (Dun Dun Dun!).
(( Previous Post deleted due to bad Flagged Dice roll problem. Trying again. ))

King as BA uses Channel Divinity - Vow of Enmity on Kate. He has advantage on all attacks against her for 1 minute.

Great Sword+1: 19 (Adv: 15) Dmg: 15+ 1
Great Sword+1: 16 (Adv: 9) Dmg: 19+ 3

First Attack Crit! King stacks 2nd level smite on it:
Total Crit damage+ Smite: 8 + 40 Radiant

Also Great Weapon Fighting: Reroll the 1 on first attack: 5

King HP: 49/52
Kate - Shield of Faith Count 3
King - Concentrating on Hunter's Mark on Kate.
King - Vow of Enmity on Kate. Count: 1

As Kate moves to attack, King gets a glimmer in his eye as he sees his perfect opening. He holds his sword tight and dodges both of Kate's attacks. Then he impales Kate on his sword. Kate's widen as she looks down and notices the sword buried up to the hilt in her stomach. King then pulls the sword out and swings again, this time slashing Kate's throat open. Clutching her neck Kate falls to her knees before dropping on the floor.

King wipes the blood from his blade and gets ready to declare victory. Then Kate coughs and said, "Not so fast." She gets up and holds her sword facing King. "I'm not done yet."

Kate's turn.

WARNING: Kate is at 17 HP. Consider healing.

Also the way the arm works is that it give Kate a +3 to the damage to all her great sword attacks. So her total damage (without GWM) would be 2d6+9

(that...sucked)

Kate drinks one of the potions and burns king with her aura.

( im not sure Kate can win. I play paladins and they are probably the most oppressive martial class)

((I think Kate can win still but she needs to not use the GWM -5 to hit. King's AC is too high for that))

Kate's Potion heal: 45

King gets frustrated with the potion and attacks Kate with GWM

Great Sword+1: 18 (Adv: 20) Dmg: 24
Great Sword+1: 11 (Adv: 7) Dmg: 24

Extra Crit damage: 5
Smite on 2nd hit: 31 Radiant

((Nevermind. He keeps getting crits))

Kate is now at 18 HP :/

Forgot about King's Concentration check: 22

Also forgot Crit check: 11
Minor crit effect: 73 -Override-
Kate DEX save (no advantage): 20
extra damage: 3

King HP: 46/52
Kate - Shield of Faith Count 4
King - Concentrating on Hunter's Mark on Kate.
