Crexibis As you walk along the next day, your friendly goat continues to walk at your side, nudging you often, looking for scratches behind its ears and even tries to nibble on your clothes to see if they taste good.
Aria Your goat loves to hear you play music, and constantly buts you in the side when you stop.
Bella Your goat allows you to ride them when you wish, but you find out that it is quite hard to hide with a large goat always on your heels.
The day otherwise goes uneventfully. You eventually set up camp, as you have a few nights now, and start your watches. Please give me watch order for this night.
Seruk would try and get the party to split into two groups, one with the pet goats and one without. He would set up an alarm around the goat group and a hidden leomund's tiny hut for the other group. He would take the first watch with his familiar.
Seruk, give me an insight or animal handling check as you start your watch. Also, remember that the tiny hut only stays in place as long as you are inside of it, if you are the one who cast the spell.
It is just like herding cats, Reginald mumbles as he falls off to sleep. With wave of his hand he faintly utters, "Wake me if you need me." Then he begins to snore softly as he passes out.
It is hard for the flying cat to tell what noises are made by large goats moving around, and what sounds are caused by other potential problems. It is not until several ogres burst from trees that the Tressym, and Seruk - using its eyes, know the goats are under attack.
Roll initiative everyone. If anyone has a Dagger of Warning, or any other such item, you are awake and can act. Everyone else cannot act until round 2.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Reginald Initiative: 14
Reginald will wake startle awake going to one knee and then will look around to see what is going on. Seeing the Ogre's charge the goats he will fire on the the ogre closest to the goats.
Pistol 1: Attack: 25 Damage: 8
Pistol 2: Attack: 29 Damage: 14
Then use his Action Surge to continue firing as he stands up and starts to move away from camp and possible some cover near a tree.
Crexibis awakens with a start when he hears the ringing sound coming from Bella's sword. "Will you please make-." Crexibis rises with a start as he sees the goats under attack. Sprinting towards the goats, the lizard's arms start to tear, as spores begin to break from his skin and cover his body in a light black mold. As he approaches the ogres, the mold on his arms burst and shower the ogres in spores. As the mold bursts and tears, two extra arms are formed above his own. Made of fungus, they detach and hover slightly above his own as the lizardfolk stares the ogres down and the spores around his body start to swirl around one of the ogres.
Move: 40 Feet Closer to the Ogres (Trying to get as many ogres within 10 feet as possible)
Bonus Action: Activate Arms of the Astral Self (1 Ki Point Expended) All Ogres within 10 feet must make a DC 16 Dexterity Saving Throw to avoid taking 8 Force Damage
Reaction: Halo of Spores (Trigger: At the start of the nearest Ogre's Turn) The nearest Ogre must make a DC 16 Constitution Saving Throw to avoid taking 4 Necrotic Damage

Bella darts to her feet, grabbing her weapons and sees the large shapes of the ogres entering the camp, heading for the goats. She circles around behind them, moving quickly but silently, stabbing the nearest in the back.
Moving stealthily into position to attack one of the ogres.
Stealth: 22 Attack: Attack: 15 Damage: 5, if she gets advantage on the attack from her stealth Attack: 9 Damage: 5
As 8 ogres boil out of the trees, and move towards the goats, the group comes awake and prepares for action. (I am just going to allow everyone to act, as it would only be Reginald who was not awake, and I don't see any reason to bother with that.)
Reginald 4 thunderous cracks split the air as Reginald levels his gun at the ogres and lets loose. The goats let out cries of alarm at the sudden blasts, as well as the sight of 8 ogres, and bunch up tightly, trembling in panic. (Give me an insight check... This is for everyone.) The four shots all hit home, slamming into ogre 7. The ogre wobbles, but remains standing, though sorely wounded.
Aria Causes a strange crown to appear on one of the ogre's heads. This Ogre though seems abnormally willful though, as it shrugs off the spell. (Rolled a 20, so save was 18. Sorry.)
Bella Sneaks around and stabs Ogre 8 with her blade, hitting for damage.
Crexibis Rushes into the midst of the ogres, 3 of whom are hit by force damage, as they fail their saves. Spores rise up around him. Seruk Please post an action now. Thanks.
(OOC: Good to move on!)

Tressym perception with Seruk's help: 21
Bella will take the second watch.
Tandor the White, Human Life Cleric
Aria will take third. (I love the new goat friends.)
Perception: 16
Seruk, give me an insight or animal handling check as you start your watch. Also, remember that the tiny hut only stays in place as long as you are inside of it, if you are the one who cast the spell.
Yes, Seruk would set up the alarm first, then set up and stay in his tiny hut, looking through the owl's eyes to scout around.
Insight: 12

I believe the others with goat friends were with Bella, so that would be Aria and Crexibis.

OOC: You only asked for initiative. Do you want actions as well?
Tandor the White, Human Life Cleric
[OOC: Sounds good to me as I was just going to sleep, so my action can happen in round 2.]
Seruk initiative: 9
I assume just actions for those three as the rest of us are surprised and safely within the leomund's tiny hut.
You can post actions if you wish, if you go before the ogres. I will resolve them as best I can once combat is going.

Aria Initiative: 19
Aria will point at one of the Ogre's and cast Crown of Madness. DC 17 Wis save.
(If they fail Aria will choose the nearest ogre to them as their target.)
As 8 ogres boil out of the trees, and move towards the goats, the group comes awake and prepares for action. (I am just going to allow everyone to act, as it would only be Reginald who was not awake, and I don't see any reason to bother with that.)
Reginald

The four shots all hit home, slamming into ogre 7. The ogre wobbles, but remains standing, though sorely wounded.
Aria
Causes a strange crown to appear on one of the ogre's heads. This Ogre though seems abnormally willful though, as it shrugs off the spell. (Rolled a 20, so save was 18. Sorry.)
Bella
Sneaks around and stabs Ogre 8 with her blade, hitting for damage.
Crexibis
Rushes into the midst of the ogres, 3 of whom are hit by force damage, as they fail their saves. Spores rise up around him.
Seruk
Please post an action now. Thanks.
