Pizazz's Ravenloft and Beyond

(I think it's Lionel on the back of his steed?) Ulthan was right, the boy from the prison was a werewolf... Good they did not seek help of those monsters - if others were anything like that one, they did not know so much as elementary gratitude.

For Lionel:

Lionel just had enough of the mutilated monsters around. He simply attacked the closest one (Emeric):

BA - Shiled up (AC 21)

Attack: 16 Damage: 11

Attack: 26 Damage: 9

The Steed

Ulthan moves in a crouch and aims to get a decent line of sight to the fireblasting mage.
Arrow: 17 Damage: 6
Arrow: 25 Damage: 8

If there is a way to place a fireball to catch the majority of the werewolves, and none of his companions, Meepo will cast Fireball...

DC 14 Dex save for half or take 35 fire.

(Yes, oops, that's Lionel on his horse. Lionel, yes, it gets its own attack at your initiative.) 

Ketch swings his axe slashing into the werewolf in front of him, the axe, though magical, seems to do less damage to the massive creature than he was hoping...despite striking it solidly twice.  Two blasts of magic rip past Ketch and slam crushingly into the creature. It's red eyes glance at Mordekai....and it growls in anger. 

Meanwhile, Lionel, upon his steed, has the glowing blade lash out, filling the fog with it's bright glow. The blade slashes down twice at the creature, leaving radiant burns across it's side, though it's still very much standing. His horses hooves rise up and thud down onto the werewolf with a thud, but the creature seems to ignore the horses attack. 

Ulthan releases two arrows towards the mage at the back. The wizard shrieks in pain as the arrows slam into him. 

Then a fireball erupts, catching both the werewolves at the back, and the ones at the front just in front of the group.  The magical flames rush towards the group and stop just short, a blazingly hot wind blowing past everyone's faces while the werewolves all get charred. 

Anton: 19 Darzin: 15 Emeric: 15 Gorek: 21 Clavdia: 8 Bogan: 9

Anton, growls and suddenly decides to ignore Ketch and moves past him and straight at Mordekai (No AoO since he doesn't leave Ketch's threat area, just moves around him.)  

Mordekai : It lashes at out at you with it's claws, swinging wildly : Attack: 21 Damage: 10 and then it's jaws try to close on your shoulder, Attack: 21 Damage: 8 (if it hits, CON DC 12 or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy). 

Ketch, you're not left alone however as the next one closes on you. Darzin lashes at out at you with it's claws, swinging wildly : Attack: 9 Damage: 10 and then it's jaws try to close on your shoulder, Attack: 10 Damage: 6 (if it hits, CON DC 12 or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy). 

Lionel, the creature in front of you tries to grab you and drag you off the horse.  (Grapple check : Athletics or Acrobatics vs 10) and bite you Attack: 18 Damage: 5 (if it hits, CON DC 12 or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy). 

Gorek rushes forward, and holds up his arm, clutching a necklace with his other hand, and suddenly a swarm of translucent devils erupt around him and begin flitting about.  (Spirital Guardians, 15 necrotic damage, DC 13 wisdom save for half.  Lionel, Ketch, and Lionel's mount will start their turn within the swarm.).  Then he points at Meepo and growls, and Meepo, a spectral hand appears above you and takes a swipe at you. Attack: 20 Damage: 4 force damage if it hits.

The wizard walks off to one side, and hurls a ball of fire at Meepo, then takes full cover behind a tree. Attack: 17 Damage: 6 fire damage.

Clavdia takes aim at Ketch and shoots her crossbow.  Attack: 19 Damage: 12 + 14 Sneak attack damage. 

Attacks against Anton, Darzin, and Emeric have Advantage this round.

Everyone's turn.

[ Round 2: Anton,Darzin,Emeric: 22, Bogan: 20, Ketch: 17, Meepo 13, Mordekai, Lionel: 12, Skeletons: 11, Clavdia: 7, Gorek: 2 ]

Ketch Con save vs Lycanthropy: 24
Ketch Wis save vs Spiritual Guardians: 19

     Watching his opponent move away, Ketch growls (Lycan or not!) and hisses “Hold, coward!”  casting Hold Person (4th level) on Anton, Emeric and Darzin.  ((Wis save vs DC17 or paralyzed)).

In case rolls above never fix themselves...

Con save 23
wis save 31

After the first hit, Mordekai will use his Misty Escape reaction, teleporting away behind the skeletons and to the left side of the path (upto 60ft and invisible until my turn).  So taking 9 damage from the first hit, and DC12 CON save (benefitting from Lionel's Aura of Protection?  Not sure if Mordekai is quite within 10ft.  I'll leave it out, but if I'm within 10ft of Lionel, then add +3 to the roll: 11

Mordekai resumes his assault on Anton from range: 

Attack: 22 Damage: 14

Attack: 24 Damage: 17

(Resurrected flying dwarf-aasimar-licantrop with split personalities... Talk about complex characters!)

Ketch, remember, you have +3 to saves!

((I refuse to remember things!!!  And those saves are good enough... but thanks!))

((That's what I am here for! Paladin's aura is even more often forgotten than Bless))

(Mordekai:  "You remain invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell." So if you eldritch blast from range you'll become visible....fyi.)

(But I used it as a reaction on their turn, so this is the start of my next turn? Either way, I'm fine with that. It's usefulness to Mordekai is in putting the distance between them so he's not rolling with disadvantage on the Eldritch Blasts for being too close.)

Ulthan moves slightly into the forest, moving away from meleers but will fire two arrows into Anton since he's too close for comfort.

Arrow1: 27 Damage: 8
Arrow2: 22 Damage: 4

Drats, too late Ulthan realized he should have put more oompfh into the arrow with advantage.

Meepo casts magic missile Sending 3 darts to strike the spellcaster...
Force damage: 11

(Lionel, remember a save for your horse as it will also take damage from the spell.).

Ketch casts his spell...... Anton, Emeric, Darzon saves : 20  4  3 

Only Darzon continues to move as Anton and Emeric freeze in mid movement.

Lionel swings his blazing sword down twice at Emeric, leaving two more egregious wounds across his chest. The horse hooves smash down upon him but just seem to bounce off the big creature.

Anton gets struck two more times from vicious blasts of force magic that crackle through the air and strike him with a hollow boom.

Two arrows strike the werewolf Anton as well.  He looks bashed and bloodied but still in a frenzy...despite being unable to move.

Magic missiles whip through the air towards the mage from Meepo but splatter against a sudden magical shield he raises.

Darzon leaps at Ketch with ferocity. Attack: 24 Damage: 13 and then it's jaws try to close on your forearm, Attack: 18 Damage: 7 (if it hits, CON DC 12 or be cursed with werewolf lycanthropy).  (Roll your concentration checks as well if you're struck.)

An arrow flies at Ketch from the woman with the crossbow : Attack: 16 Damage: 9 + 9 sneak attack damage.  Then she moves with quick speed and takes full cover behind a tree. (Roll your concentration checks as well if you're struck.)

A blast of fire from the mage as well as he steps out, releases the spell, and steps back behind cover. Attack: 21 Damage: 1 (Roll your concentration checks as well if you're struck.)

Gorek meanwhile charges around Lionel and rushes into the midst of the group, all the way up to Meepo. 

(Spirital Guardians, 16 necrotic damage, DC 13 wisdom save for half.  Lionel, Ketch, and Lionel's mount, Meepo, Skeletons 1,5 and 6 will start their turn within the swarm.).  (Ketch, you got it, roll your concentration checks.)

Meepo, a spectral hand above you takes a swipe at you. Attack: 12 Damage: 10 force damage if it hits.   Then, standing before you, the priest transforms, the hideous sound of cracking bones and warping muscle and flesh as it becomes a Werewolf in front of you. 

If Ketch's concentration is lost, Anton and Emeric may get an action, otherwise they make more saves : 21  8   (Emeric breaks from of the spell...)

Attacks against Anton, Darzin, and Emeric have Advantage this round.

Everyone's turn.

[ Round 2: Anton,Darzin,Emeric: 22, Bogan: 20, Ketch: 17, Meepo 13, Mordekai, Lionel: 12, Skeletons: 11, Clavdia: 7, Gorek: 2 ]

Mordekai, now furious that Anton is still up (seriously, he's taken something like 96 points of damage between Mordekai, the fireball an Ulthan!), continues his assault. 

(If he dies to the first Eldritch Blast, Mordekai will shift Hex onto Darzin. Not sure if he can do that between Blasts or if both Blasts need to be taken immediately as they're the same action, but he'll transfer it as the end of turn if not)

Attack: 13 Damage: 14

Attack: 15 Damage: 18

Lionel's Wis save 16 , Steed save: 1. 16 2. 11

Lionel slid from the steed's back and sent him towards the mage

Charge Bogan: Attack: 24 Damage: 8 (if hit - DC 14 Strength saving throw or Bogan is knocked prone and steed got another attack Attack: 27 Damage: 8 )

Lionel himself continues to fight Emeric:

Attack: 29 Damage: 17

Attack: 26 Damage: 14 + 6 (smite)

((Even if I lose concentration Anton's actions would be lost as he would have gone before Darzin who has first chance to break my concentration? And egads!  This is a lot of concentration checks!  Glad I normally don't use these type spells...  And I am not sure the DC?  10 or half the damage, whichever is higher?  Not sure, I'll roll, you let me know!))

     Ketch sidesteps Darzin and their first attack, but his movement puts him right in position for the bite.  Ketch grunts and pulls his arm away.  Concentration check: 19

     The woman wasn't as sneaky as she thought she was, Ketch raises his shield and deflects the arrow harmlessly.

     A subtle shift of his shield protects Ketch from the blast of fire as well...

((Are there attacks of opportunity on Gorek? Seems they would have passed by Lionel at least, possibly Ketch as well, though probably just Lionel?))

((Are these 5 foot or 10 foot squares?  Spirit Guardians is a 15' sphere, I'm not sure Ketch would still be in it's area of effect at the start of his turn? Or is Ketch technically going first and I'm just confused 'cause initiative order is a bit fluid since they're all doing their actions and then we all are?  Whatever, it's all good, just asking. *shrug*))

     Ketch Wisdom save (if still in aoe) 12

Ketch's actions will come next, after I see results of saves and if he still has concentration or not...

((Ok, concentration lost on the Darzin bite attack...  Shucks.  I'm giving up on concentration spells!  I also forgot to roll the Con vs Lycanthropy: 18 ))

((I matched the DC for Spirit Guardians, I am not sure if that saves for half or fails?  And if I am still in aoe or not... So not marking down damage til answered, but still standing either way.))

     As for action, Ketch has little choice but to cast Cure Wounds on himself (3rd level) for 25 and that will leave him with nothing else to do this round...

((Forgot to note that Ring of Regeneration regains Ketch 2hp at end of his first round.  And does so end of this round.  +4 added.))

((Nope, no lycanthropy on me... yet!))

Oh, I should make a CON save for Hex.  8

(So, this actually now depends whether I was within 10ft of Lionel or not at the time. If not, all d6s since my Misty Escape need removing)
