Pizazz's Ravenloft and Beyond

Ketch Str save: 12

...

 ((Damage recorded.))

Ketch will (Bonus Action) Misty Step 30' towards Zirkan (I'm assuming all air breathers have some air in their lungs unless it's knocked out of them, and thus Ketch could say the verbal part of the spell, even if it is bubbly?  But up to DM, of course...)) Next Ketch will use his movement to close the gap with the wizard.  Finally Ketch will swing his axe at the dude...

Giant Slayer Battleaxe Attack: 23 Damage: 13

((Ketch regains 2HP at end of his turn due to his ring... Recorded.))

 Disregard above!

Action: Radiant Soul

Ba: Misty steps and all the available speed towards the wizard.

Ketch evaporates from within the water elemental, leaving a Ketch shaped hole inside the blob of water which abruptly vanishes with a "sploooch" sound.  He appears 30 feet away, charging the wizard with his axe, which he slams into Zikram, sending blue blood splattering against the wall.  Zikram hisses in pain. 

Lionel comes charges across the room, his golden hair fluttering behind him, his green tinged full plate clanking.  Just before hitting the invisible wall or running into the elementals he vanishes, appearing in an instant 15 feet behind them.

The air elemental rushes after Lionel, the wind around the warrior suddenly whipping up into a frenzy. 

Lionel, DC 13 Strength save.  25 bludgeoning damage.  1/2 damage on save.  On failure, the wind picks Lionel up off his feet and he goes flying 7 (1 is north, going clockwise) ..  20 feet and lands heavily on the ground, prone, with a metallic heavy crunch. 

Zikram meanwhile shrieks like a baby at being sliced by Ketch and is "mashing" the button on his wand and pointing it vigorously at Ketch over and over, "aahhh! No...get away,...noo!"  

Ketch, a blast of icy cold slams down and strikes you from the cannon.  

Ketch, DC 17 Dex save or take 27 cold damage.

Ulthan is up. 

Air Elemental 25 | Zikram Lair action 20 | Ulthan 18 | Mordekai 16 | Zikram 14 | Meepo 12 | Water Elemental 12 | Lionel 9 |  Ketch 6 

From random website, supposedly optional rule.
A creature can use a weapon attack to knock a weapon or another item from a target's grasp. The attacker makes an attack roll contested by the target's Strength (Athletics) check or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. If the attacker wins the contest, the attack causes no damage or other ill effect, but the defender drops the item.The attacker has disadvantage on its attack roll if the target is holding the item with two or more hands. The target has advantage on its ability check if it is larger than the attacking creature, or disadvantage if it is smaller.

Ulthan continues moving across north wall wondering however will he pack that cannon, even on his back it seems rather undoable.

If disarm is possible, Ulthan remembers back at shooting tiny leaf dolls on ledges, and will attempt to make this trick shot. So shooting to disarm the zap thingy.
First disarm arrow 31
Second disarm arrow 15

If that's not possible he'll just shoot the elemental of air.
Attack: 25 Damage: 18
Attack: 17 Damage: 17

(Lionel Str save: 25 )

The prismatic wings withstood the assault of the wind and Lionel remained in the air just above the ground.

(that disarm rule is from the DMG, and I'm fine using it)

The first arrow flies across the room at Zikram.  Dex check vs DC 12:  14 The arrow slashes into his hand and Zikram screams and drops the wand thing.  

Mordekai, seeing this steps forward, and vanishes, appearing right next to Zikram.  He bends down and grabs the controller off the ground. Mordekai waves it around a bit as a test....and the massive cannon points around the room at his will.  Mordekai looks to Ketch and winks.

Zikram curses in a high pitched screaming voice....."Nooo!!!!" 

He glances about in panic, and pulls out a fine jade circlet from his belt pouch, and places it on his head.  He says, "Shathmora!"  The lights along the walls all dim and the room becomes shadowy...and then his body twists and warps until standing before you in the corner of the room is a massive black, shadowy dragon. The creature seems to fade back against the wall.....and you start to lose it in amongst the flickering shadows.....

Hide: 21 

The dragon all but vanishes in amongst the shadows of the room.  

Meepo's turn!

Air Elemental 25 | Zikram Lair action 20 | Ulthan 18 | Mordekai 16 | Zikram 14 | Meepo 12 | Water Elemental 12 | Lionel 9 |  Ketch 6 

Meepo casts misty step now and teleports to the far side of the wall of force. (If it is still up after the wizard took damage.)

He then casts ray of frost at the water elemental.
To hit: 18 Damage: 6

(Assuming Meepo has no line of sight on the dragon/wizard now, so attacking the water elemental.)

21 -Ketch Dex Save

…all good

Meepo, what do you command the skeletons to fire at? 

Meepo moves forward, popping onto the other side of the wall of force and sending a ray of cold zapping at the elemental. Chunks of the thing sparkle and freeze momentarily and the elemental moves sluggishly for a few moments.  Meanwhile his skeletons continues straffing to the side, the only enemies either encompassing an ally or still behind the wedge sided partial wall of force in the middle of the room.  

Though, as Meepo moves there, he sees splashes from the water going through where the wall was. He figures it's probably gone now. Especially if turning into a dragon was a spell.....

The water elemental surges forward, attempting to pummel Lionel who is caught up in the maestrom.  Attack: 19 Damage: 12. Attack: 12 Damage: 15. 

Lionel, Ketch, your actions.

Air Elemental 25 | Mordekai's cannon action 20 | Ulthan 18 | Mordekai 16 | Zikram 14 | Meepo 12 | Water Elemental 12 | Lionel 9 |  Ketch 6 

Ketch still has Detect Magic up - Did he detect anything from the fine jade circlet Zikram pulled out of his pouch and used?  I know Zikram was able to hide and move (and change into a dragon) but if Ketch did detect the circlet, can he still detect it?  Or does the hiding also hide the the faint aura of magic around it?

     Assuming Ketch cannot detect the circlet and fine Zikram that way, Ketch will turn and go to the Air Elemental and attack that. First he will put Hunter's Mark upon it and then swing with his axe...

Giant Slayer Battle Axe Attack: 28 Damage: 9

Plus 5 Slashing due to Hunter's Mark...

End of turn, regenerate 2HP...

Ketch could tell the circlet was not magical. The spell on Zikram case on himself was magical. So, you can sense that there is magic within 30 feet of you.  However, since he's not visible to you, you can't see the magical aura.   "For the duration, you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you. If you sense magic in this way, you can use your action to see a faint aura around any visible creature or object in the area that bears magic, and you learn its school of magic, if any."   

Ketch turns his attention to the air elemental. His magical hunters mark zero's in on the creature and he leaps forward, swinging his axe through the air. It drags a bunch of the elementals essence along with it, the air elemental letting out a rush of air from the wound. 

Lionel almost blocked the first blow from the water elemental, but "almost" does not count during the fight. Still, he could manage and with Ketch's attack could a bit even the floor. Before retaliating on the restless water, he touched the cleric's shoulder for a briefest of moments sharing healing light:

Action: Lay on Hands on Ketch for full 50HP

BA: Shield of Faith on himself (AC 25)

((I just read the first line. I didn't go looking into the fine print...))

((and oh yeah, thanks!  Healing was actually what I meant to do as an alternative!))

The air elemental continues floating around Lionel, but swings twice at Ketch who's taken a slice out of it. 

Attack: 28 Damage: 24

Attack: 21 Damage: 9

Then Mordekai, who seems still to be figuring things out, swings the wand thing around, and points it at the water elemental.  The huge cannon in the room swings over and takes aim. He pushes the trigger and a blast wooshes across the room and strikes the water elemental. 

Dex save vs DC 17 : 4.  31 cold damage, save for half. 

Grinning, Mordekai moves back away from where the shadowy dragon vanished and sends two blasts at the water elemental as well. Attack: 16 Damage: 6.  Attack: 29 Damage: 13.  

Ulthan, your action.

Air Elemental 25 | Mordekai's cannon action 20 | Ulthan 18 | Mordekai 16 | Zikram 14 | Meepo 12 | Water Elemental 12 | Lionel 9 |  Ketch 6 

Ulthan lays down some withering fire into the elemental as he moves back towards the stair case trying to avoid being in the middle of the skeletal skeletons.
Attack: 16 Damage: 19
Attack: 12 Damage: 16

(Meepo would not have had his skeletons shoot as he still thought the wall of force was up. Next round he'll have them shoot though.)

The first arrow from Ulthan swishes past the water elemental, the second slaps into the water at an angle sending a gush of water spraying from the creature. 

The dark shadows near Mordekai suddenly coalesce into the form of the shadow dragon which rears its head and unleashes a blast of black energy draining shadow that rips through the group. 

Mordekai, Meepo, Ketch, Lionel, and both elementals :  Dexterity save DC 21.   58 Necrotic damage on fail. Half as much on a save. 

Modekai save : 6

Water elemental save : 5

Air elemental save : 13 

As the black life sucking shadows evaporate, Mordekai appears to have vanished.  The water elemental shrivels up into bubbles and then just loses shape and collapses onto the ground, a huge splash of water as it ceases living.  The air elemental looks much reduced, swirling and shifting, but still alive.

The dragon then attempts to fade back into the dim shadows and vanish.  Hide check:  29 

Meepo, Lionel, Ketch, you're all up. 

Air Elemental 25 | Mordekai's cannon action 20 | Ulthan 18 | Mordekai 16 | Zikram 14 | Meepo 12 | Lionel 9 |  Ketch 6 

Dex save: 10   (Ketch and Meepo, don't forget +3 to save from holy aura)

Lionel could not avoid a hit like that on the best day. Only his holy resilience kept him from dropping on the spot. He watched the dragon disappear and tried his best to remember the spot:

Attacks with disadvantages:

Attack 1 (javelin of lightning): Attack: 14 Damage: 9 + 8 lightning damage.

Attack 2 (he flies there, Air elemental gets AoO?): Attack: 19 Damage: 10 + 10 radiant

Lionel leaps forward, glowing slightly, though the necrotic energy from the breath courses along his flesh still, leaving black veins crawling under his skin. His hurdles the lightning which slams through the shadows and strikes the wall.  Then he leaves the elemental which takes a swipe at him. Attack: 26 Damage: 14 

As he reaches the dark shadows near the dragon's last spot he swings his blade.  It bounces off of something within the shadows but doesn't penetrate the dragons dark scales.
