Pizazz's Ravenloft and Beyond

Every bush in ftont of him was tame for a moment, but aggressive shrubs coming from the building needed attention. 

Attacking "r" : 20 Damage: 11  + 3 fire damage

Hart stays put and will hold action to parry any attack against him.

"Be right there as soon as I deal with this!" Seeing Lionel make a strategic retreat to block the stairwell, only to be attacked by more blights, Olin will swing again at the tree nearest him (20) with his staff and his spectral branch. (unless 20 dies on attack 1, in which case he'll send the spiritual weapon to attack blight "s".)

Shillelagh, 14 Damage: 12
Spiritual weapon, 16 Damage: 10

If 20 dies, Olin will run over to Lionel's side. If it lives he'll stay put.

(Why did Lionel take advantage on the attack against R?  Doesn't matter you still hit without it since the first roll was a 20, just curious if I'm missing something)

Lionel swipes the bush creature away with little effort, the small burning body tossed against the wall.  Meanwhile Olin slams his staff into the beat up creature next to him, sending its ruined wooden body flying in pieces.  Both he and his spectral branch leap and hop over next to Lionel, the spectral branch swinging but missing at one of the bush creatures. 

Downstairs, a couple more little creatures come running out of the fermentation room, hitting a traffic jam at the doorway as Olin and Lionel hold the hallway.  One manages to try and attack Olin, and another tries to attack Lionel. 

Attack against Olin: 7 Damage: 2

Attack against Lionel: 11 Damage: 4

Also, the two stuck in the web continue to fling spikes at both of you. 

Attack against Olin: 14 Damage: 6

Attack against Lionel: 14 Damage: 5

Meanwhile, upstairs, a number of the little creatures notice Hart and Ismark down the hallway and change direction to run at them.  (Hart, take an attack as they approach.). Even if you drop one, another takes it's place though, so one attacks both Hart and Ismark. 

Attack against Hart: 8 Damage: 3

Attack against Ismark: 13 Damage: 5. (bounces off his shield)

Mordekai is swarmed by the creatures, but a number of them are just standing about, charmed for the moment by his presence, so only two can get close enough to attack. 

Attack one: 14 Damage: 2

Attack two: 20 Damage: 2

Two are trying to climb up the crane and get to you Meepo, but then the injured druid steps out of the hallway with a face twisted in anger and opens his mouth to howl.  A thunderous BOOM erupts from his mouth.  Thunderwave.  Roll your save, DC 12.  Damage:  15  The two little creatures near you get caught in the blast.   CON Save DC 12:  m: 16 n: 13.   Both of the little creatures are blown off their perch, and land in crunched little bits unmoving.  

Meepo, the crane you're on groans heavily as wood splinters from the spell.  

Ismark steps forward, swinging his blade at the creatures in front of him. 

Attack: 18 Damage: 7. Attack: 15 Damage: 13.  

Start of Round 7.  (Round 2 were Web and Faerie Fire , Round 3 was Charm, Round 4 was Mirror Image)

Hart you get your attack from last round, and also take your turn this round. 

Everyone take your next turns. 

(In the full map of the upper floor, the corridor opposite Mordekai has a staircase halfway along. It looks like that's only accessible from the west part of that corridor, is that right? So what Mordekai can see through that doorway is just a corridor that goes 20ft and then has the door to the kitchen?

Also, could you give us a quick breakdown on what creatures are what?  We've got numbers, lower case letters and upper case letters, which differentiate different creature types?  Upper case letters are druids, numbers are the bigger tree-zombie-things, and the lower case letters are the smaller ones, is that right?) 

Wood sticks need to do better than this to get throw the metal armour. Meanwhile, Lionel switched his attention to "t":

Attacking "t" : 17 Damage: 11  + 4 fire damage

Meepo Con save vs thunderwave... 17  DC is 12.

Meepo Concentration save:  7  DC is 10.

Meepo is also blasted off of the crane...  (Any falling damage from there?)  The web spell he had been concentrating on also ends.

Olin grunts in pain as the needles slam into. "Silvanus help us, they just keep coming!" he says, swinging staff and spectral branch at the twig creatures in front of him.

Shillelagh, 24 Damage: 11
Spiritual weapon, 18 Damage: 11

(OOC: Mordekai:  Yes, correct, that one hallway just goes straight, stops at a stone wall, and there's an open door on the right going into the kitchen.  There's also a door on the right before that, that leads into the master bedroom.  Through the OTHER door he sees the upper walkway, a railing, and then the fermentation vats and an open upstairs portion of the room.  The druid he killed fell back over the railing and tumbled to the floor below.

Map Legend: 

Numbers:  Medium sized Needle Blights.   Lower case numbers:  Small sized Twig blights.  Capital D's - Druids.  Capital V's - Medium sized Vine Blights.

Anything with a yellow letter or number is charmed and generally just standing around awkwardly trying to figure out what it's doing.  All the green is gone now, since the web spell collapsed, so no more restrained things.  Solid red is DEAD.  Purple outline, glowing from the Faerie Fire spell.) 

Meepo is blasted backwards off the crane, flying through the air to slam into the wall on the 2nd floor near Mordekai (no additional falling damage).  He's on the far side of the open area from the Vine creature, the druid, and most of the little creatures (there is small horde of 10 around Mordekai).  There is a window next to Meepo.  He can also see down the hallway behind the druid, and into the fermentation room.  Downstairs, the mystical webs all collapse and fade away, leaving the horde free to move....though all but two of them continue to stand around contemplating the meaning of existence. 

Lionel slashes his blade easily through a small creature, while Olin bats one aside, and his floating stick smashes another.  These little ones seem easy to deal with compared to the spiky ones that can shoot needles. 

Hart, Mordekai? 

(Does Meepo have a path back to get into line of sight of the one that just blasted him?  if so he will do so...  He will send Rat in to be near the druid, but not to do anything but be near him/her.)

Crossbow attack on druid...

To hit:  19

damage:  8

Mordekai will cast an Eldritch Blast at the Vine Blight in front of the door to the balcony...

Attack: 8 Damage: 11

...then Mordekai will Misty Step, appearing through in the big open room next to the dead druid. I'm planning to check out the dead druid to see if he was holding anything that was helping to control all the blights, but presumably that'll take an action next turn? 

(OOC: Mordekai, you can teleport to the space above the druid, but you'll drop 8 feet to the floor below, because you can't see down there from this angle.   If you're ok appearing in the air and dropping down to the first floor, then okay dokay, this'll work fine...) 

Mordekai your blast of energy slams into the vine creature sending a spray of broken vines and slimy vegetable matter into the air.  The creature stumbles but does not fall.  

Meepo, you absolutely have line of site to the Druid.  Ok, your familiar sidle's up next to the druid (and is near the vine creature).  The druid briefly looks over at Rat, wondering why it's there...thinking...'that's an odd thing to be here at the moment, an undead flying cat....very strange....'.  

Meepo, your crossbow bolt slams off of the druids hard skin that seems to be rough like bark.  (oops, I never rolled concentration for his barkskin spell when he took the last bolt.  Concentration DC 10: 6, ok, the bolt still bounces off.) 

Hart, your action still.

The old grizzled man with black hair crouches in the dark woods, the wet mist that falls makes everything damp. His hair is matted to his forehead as his soaked cloak hangs dripping on his head and shoulders. He can barely make out the stone winery through the mist.  The vineyards appear tangled and dying. His life's work all but failing. His grim visage looks to the building proper. The strangers had come only a few minutes before. A thunderous boom erupts from the space. He can make out perhaps a dozen figures, strange from this distance but looking like scarecrows almost...all standing about just outside the loading dock. A few lay on the ground in pieces. Many of them have a strange pinkish glow about them as they stand, seemingly transfixed. He can see battle near the back of the loading bay, shadowy figures with glowing weapons swinging them, bursts of fire lighting up the winery's stone walls.  Another loud boom erupts from the building, startling him yet again.  With the explosive boom, the windows upstairs are blown out, glass tinkling down onto the packed earth around the building.  Within he sees bright pulses of magic flying as dark shadows move about past the windows. 

The battle is fierce, that's clear enough. He can't stand idly by and watch complete strangers fight for his livelihood. His assistance could be the turning point.  The man turns back to the eight forms huddled in the woods behind him.  "Adrian. It's time to put your man pants on. Claudiu....you too."  "Father no..." in a hush tone his daughter protests.  He snaps back at her, "We die without this vineyard. I'll keep him safe.  Come...both of you. Now."  

From outside the loading bay Lionel and Olin glance back to see the two needle blights in combat with Davian from the woods, his son, and a teenage boy is nearby firing a hand crossbow. 

Davian sword short : 24 Damage: 5.  Davian sword short : 11 Damage: 4

Adrian sword short : 22 Damage: 6.  Adrian sword short : 16 Damage: 3

Claudiu hand crossbow: 21 Damage: 4. 

They take down both of the blights that were firing their needles.  Claudiu hits one of the charmed one in the back with a crossbow bolt.  It turns on him.

"You're a welcome sight." Olin says, seeing Davian and the others. "They go down easily enough, but there are enough of them to fill one of the hells. I've charmed the ones that are just standing around, but it won't hold long. They snap out of it when you hurt them." Glancing upwards, Olin adds. "No idea what's going on up there, but it doesn't sound good."

"Then we better clean up everything here fast," nodded Lionel, "glad owner decided to join us."

(On his turn he continues wood-chopping - attack on "v" : 8 Damage: 15  + 2 fire damage  )
