Scattered gods

"Firesoul," Fouder scowls, his mouth setting into a line. Not the person he expected, nor wanted, to see right now. Then again, the guy is capable and sturdy. "Quit dawdling. Get yourself over here and help us."

"Very well." Brocc says with a glance around to take in the battle in progress.  He grips his lance in one hand and his shield in his other, knees pressing tight to Pounce's Sides.

Botting Solomon with Frostbite.

Bunkered down in this stalemate of makeshift trench warfare.  Kolyyt’s forces ducked behind shelves and couches.  The party peeking around the doorway, both sides behind a good deal of cover.  

The magical forces of Fouders spell and Fingolins words got Thannuk(middle) and Flynn (right).  You can see their spells take effect as they look drained and emotionally scarred.  The two leftmost (Box and Bax) are able shake off the bane spell.

Ice begins to condense around Thenton (right) as it explodes and partially freezes the figure.  

Cackling high pitched laughter can be heard from the middle as Tennanaz’s hideous laughter takes affect.

Kolyyt’s forces look to retaliate, what now appears to be two gnomes that fire off their crossbows towards Fouder and Solomon.

3/4 cover add 5 to AC:

Box vs Fouder: Attack: 22 Damage: 4

Bax vs Solomon

8 Damage: 8

You see Flynn on the right, stick out his hand before casting flaming sphere in the doorway. It’s not in proximity to the group, but you will have to pass through it to get into the room and it obscures your view.

Brocc and Falwynn watch as Kolyyt’s forces retreat further into the library and take cover again.  But their focus is on the other party and they don’t notice you.  Right now the have half cover from all sides.

Samwell saving throw end of turn: 10 (hideous laughter stops)

Party’s initiative

Seeing Flynn conjuring the sphere, Fouder unleashes a guiding bolt at him, hoping the impact will mean the opponent loses concentration.

Attack: 19 Damage: 14

Fingolin steps up closer to the door until the heat becomes too much and takes out the Decanter of Endless Water removes the stopper and points it at the sphere of fire. "Geyser!" As water gushes forth he aims the stream at the group in the middle of the room.

Solomon whispers an incantation the moment before Bax’s bolt hits him, making the missile bounce harmlessly off his armor.

Reaction: Shield so no damage from the bolt.

OOC - if the decanter extinguishes the flaming sphere Solomon will charge the nearest enemy and use Booming Blade, otherwise he’ll use Frostbite again.

(Responding to this quickly as it will affect the other turns)

Fingolin sprays forth a geyser of Waterdeep at the magical fire ball in hope of extinguishing the flames.  Steam and boiling water splash everywhere as the two magical forces battle.

Flynn’s Spellcasting check vs Decanter’s DC of 13 at disadvantage to keep concentration:

11

Flaming sphere disappears.

A gnome, riding on a masttiff-sized feline construct, comes bursting out of the door behind the enemies. He has on half-plate armor and a lance held in one hand with a shield in the other. The construct carries him straight into the nearest foe, lance leading the way. Following through the construct lashes out with a claw, rearing up a bit on its hind feet to do so.

Lance attack:
To Hit - 11
Damage - 6

Force Rend attack:
To hit - 6
damage - 5 force damage.

Extra crit damage with lance...  3

Tennezaz will point at one of the enemies that is already injured, causing a bell to suddenly sound as he casts Toll the Dead on them.

Toll the Dead: 8

“Can’t do it without good ol Firesoul Huh?”

he then casts his own flaming sphere and put its next to Flynn on his back so it isn’t in the way of Founder and crew. And to try and force him back toward everyone.

Fire Damage: 11 Dex Save DC: 14 for half

(he’s a baddie right? Lol)

With the first flaming sphere extinguished, Solomon charges the soldiers with a yell. He says a few words, possibly in some primordial language, causing his longsword to audibly hum as he brings it down on Flynn.

Booming Blade

Attack: 11

Damage: 7

Fouder unleashes his bolt, but Flynn is able to swipe it away with his staff to no effect. Though he is still cursing at the idea his flaming sphere has been dispelled.  Looking closer at him know, you see he isn’t actually armored at all, just some pauldrons overtop some robes.

The gnome that charges out, strikes against the closest target (Bax) as the lance pieces through the shoulder.  An identical looking halfling (Box) looks shocked as The mount also whips out and hits its target.

Thenton Save vs Tennanaz’s Toll the Dead - 4

Thenton Save vs flaming sphere - 8

Flynn Save vs flaming sphere - 4

Solomon rushes forward, but his swing goes wide as it bounces off the pauldron of Flynn.

The flaming sphere scales the backs of the other crew  as they are also rocked by a loud ringing.

Flynn shakes his head as he has been bombarded by attacks.

Flynn morphs his body as he gets down on all fours and wild shapes into a large wolf.  It disengages from Solomon and runs around the sphere as it continues to retreat. 

Box and Bax scramble as they disengage as well from the mechanical riding gnome.  

They dash around the flaming sphere back behind where Flynn was seen to go.  That side of the room is hard to see details as it hidden in shadow and the fireball brightly flares before it. 

You now see in the middle stands a heft half Orc in full plate armor, rested on top of his shoulders is a orange skinned kobold holding a crystal.  Shaking off the hideous laughter spell, it resolves it’s focus.

It points the crystal at the gnome and casts hold person DC 15  Save - 4

Thenton (forgot him last turn, man there is a lot of you) he looks to Tennanaz and points his holy symbol and yells “Grovel!”  As he commands Tennenaz

He runs away too, Solomon Attack of opportunity 

DC 14 - 12

Thannuk (the half Orc) rushes and follows suit where Bax and Box rushed to.  After you see Thannuk runs last you hear a loud crash and banging from behind the flaming sphere.

(Sorry for the delay.... there’s a lot going on. good Saves!)

Party’s Initiative, You stand in the library that’s been torn down and do shovels in the quick battle.  None of the group has an eye on the other party.  The flaming sphere continues to swirl in the middle.  Random books right beneath begin to smoke.

"The books! Don't burn the books!... Do you know these two, Fouder?" As he says that, Fingolin starts reading some random book titles to get a feeling about what the library was about. He'll want to take any on the subject of planar travel.

Perception: 22

"Was in the clergy with the dwarf," he returns. "Falwynn Firesoul. Skilled cleric. Took the path of the Light. No clue about the other chap - but we can talk about that later. Let's move on."

He calls across to Falwynn. "Extinguish that before it burns this whole place to the ground. Who knows what might be kept in this library..."

He takes off after the other party, as fast as he can. If he can get in sight of them, he will cast Shatter at the centre of the group.

CON save 14 (4 on a failed save, half as much on a successful one)

"Are we chasting them then?"  The gnome asks from atop his construct mount.  He lifts up his lance, blood on it's tip, as he nudges the construct around to head towards wehre the other group disappeared to.  He nods to the rest of the group around him.  "Name's Brocc the Badger Nackle." He says in way of greeting.  "This is Pounce." he says, introducing his mount with a nod of his head downward.

(Due to having been in the tower for a bit now, does Brocc know what is in the direction the group is fleeing to?)

"always a stick in the mud."  Falwynn drops concentration on his sphere. And hurries after Founder. If he sees any of the people they're chasing he will cast sacred flame Dex Save DC 14 or take 8 radiant

"Brocc is a good one. Met him here in the tower."
