When in range, Choir will turn loose her new favorite cantrip again, at one of the not-yet-hit demons. Sacred Flame ( 16 damage, Dex Save DC17 to avoid. )

(Gnolls can even be raised! Demons - no, they are not truly here)

Dretches are probably the most stupid, slow and overall pathetic demons Abyss can offer. Even before they could turn and face the party most were slaughtered by group's range force - Fran's bolts and daggers, Polly's blasts and finally Choir's radiant light exterminated the pests, that left behind only puddles of ichor and clouds of disgusting green gas (you learned by now, that it's not wise to walk into such clouds). However, the commotion attract attention of the demon near the Temple. Through the gas cloud you can see the massive figure turning and moving in your direction. In the same time, behind you a chorus of screams rises up as people, sheep, and pigs scamper through the town, chased by another demon with the lower body of a great serpent and the upper body of a six-armed gnoll clutching a wicked sword in each of its clawed hands.

People and animals passed and scattered between the houses, leaving you between two huge demons. (9 14 )

Same Initiative order: Initiative order: Fran, Brutus, Ordrag, Adray, Snake-Gnoll, Stink-demon, Polly, Mooncolor, Choir

The "stink-demon" is behind the cloud of stink, snake-gnoll is on the open. Both outside of melee attacks for now but will be upon you next round.

Adray has a 50 foot speed, is he outside of melee range?  If he uses step of the wind to up it to 100 ft can he get in range?  

Adray will call back, "cover me" to the others.  He will then run at incredible speed and leap into a double knee drop.  He will then follow up with another attack.  

---

If he can make it to the snake gnoll in 50 feet he will attack twice and then use patient defense to cause snake gnoll to have disadvantage for all attacks against Adray.

If Adray can't make it in with 50 ft, he will use step of the wind to get there in 100 ft.  Attack twice.  Will also use stunning fist if a strike hits.

Attack: 11 Damage: 10

if that hits stunning fist DC Con save 15 or be stunned 

Attack: 19 Damage: 7

if it was stunned, attack is with advantage 15

((Some correction in Initiative order: Fran, Brutus, Ordrag, Adray, Snake-Gnoll, Polly, Stink-demon,  Mooncolor, Choir  and here is the map:

 With step of the wind Adray can get in melee distance.

((Btw, a very-very late question: I keep maps under "spoilers" because of the pictures size. Is it OK or would you prefer them on the open?))

Fran would turn to face the slithering foe and take a few steps forward until she had him within accurate range. Focused, she’d release her first pair of bolts.

Attack 1: 20 Damage: 9
Attack 2: 29 Damage: 15 

Brutus would be ready to dash, following Adray into the fray.

Better to focus on one flank at a time, Ordrag thinks. He turns and follows Adray, running as far as he can but unable to keep up with the speedy monk.

(Dash 60')

Adray reached the demon but six-armed monster blocked every attack. It could not escape the bolt however, but either saw it as insignificant or preferred the target at hand - it attacked Adray (no Patient Defense, since Wind was used). Six swords formed a whirlwind of steel, all six agains one human, ending with a lash of a tail:

Swords:

Attack: 26 Damage: 8

Attack: 25 Damage: 16

Attack: 19 Damage: 15

Attack: 18 Damage: 13

Attack: 12 Damage: 18

Attack: 15 Damage: 17

Tail

Attack: 21 Damage: 18  (Adray is grappled (escape DC 19). Until this grapple ends, he is restrained)

Polly!

((Sorry, did I raise the gnolls or no?  No worry either way, just unclear...  if I did. They are shuffling towards Adray’s target...))

     Polly flies 10 or 20 feet towards the giant multi armed gnoll- thing and cast Hex on it, affecting it’s Con checks.

     Polly will then cast Eldritch Blast at it, all three blasts aimed at the thing. ((Sorry, will roll later, on cell phone and it’s a pain to do on this and I don’t have time...))

     OwImp will at this point just play eyes and watch out and shout out any changes that occur to the situation...

((She did! Consider undead gnolls to be near the demon))

Quote from Kaemgen >>

 

     Polly will then cast Eldritch Blast at it, all three blasts aimed at the thing. ((Sorry, will roll later, on cell phone and it’s a pain to do on this and I don’t have time...))

 

 Attack: 20 Damage: 7 Plus Hex of 2 Necrotic Damage.

 Attack: 10 Damage: 11 Plus Hex of 1 Necrotic Damage.

 Attack: 11 Damage: 10 Plus Hex of 5 Necrotic Damage.

((And yay! Zombie Gnolls!  I will name then George, and I will hug them and pet them and squeeze them...))

Polly's blast creature did noticed but did not move away surrounded by all the gnoll's corpses. The demon on the other side of the stinking cloud moved closer. Mooncolor run all the way to the demon, covering the distance in one swift move. He paused (long enough for Choir to act) and tried to attack demon with his hooves: Attack: 26 Damage: 9

 Choir!

Round 5

Fran, Brutus, Ordrag, Adray

     ((OOPS!  Can we un-Hex the beastie?  Polly already had a concentration spell up (the ZombGnolls)))

((I did have a feeling I am missing something here :) The demon is unhexed!))

With the first strike coming towards his, he tosses his hand up calling a forth the shield magic that ran through his blood.  Still the weapons rained down with several making their way through but most being deflected.  Gritting his teeth, he spits out, "A dragon will not fall to a snake!"  He crouches low then jumps jabbing out at specific points at it's chest.

Attacks:

Attack: 27 Damage: 11

stunning fist DC 15 con save or be stunned

Attack: 17 Damage: 9

If it is not stunned patient defense to give it disadvantage at attacks against Adray

If it is stunned, then bonus action flurry

Attack: 24 Damage: 10

Attack: 26 Damage: 6

if previous attack stunned it attack with advantage 13

--

The notice came up because I was editing and site went wonky with it's save.  It ended up deleting the a bit after the 2nd attack that said if stunning works then here is 2nd attack due to advantage.  Here it is 22

Fran would take in the new positions on the battle field as she'd load her next round of crossbolts. Her heart about fell out of her chest in concern for Adray when he'd run in to take the full force of the many armed beast. A breath of relief would leave her lips as he still stood. She knew the monk was swift and sturdy, but this was a pleasant surprise. With Mooncolour caught up and the swarm of gnolls, the artificer would release her bolts and command Brutus to bite.

Attack 1: 13 Damage: 10
Attack 2: 21 Damage: 12 

Brutus force empowered rend: Bonus action: 7 Damage: 12

Choir will run toward the gnoll-thing as well, hoping to be near enough to Adray for any emergency heals, casting Sacred Flame meanwhile. 10 damage, Dex DC17 to avoid.

(I will be gone most of the next three days, feel free to bot Choir as needed!)

Ordrag moves another 30' closer. (I think still not within melee range)

(Np, I think it will slow down anyway, but if not - Choir will be taken care of.For now Choir did not get withing the distance yet)

Demon save: 13

Fran's bolt hit, and probably caused enough distraction for demon to miss one lightning fast attack from Adray, who managed to find just the right pressure point on the snake body and struck true. All six hands dropped and the demon just stood there completely stunned.

Polly! (attack with advantage)

((I’m assuming just Polly, not the underlings?  And would all three bolts of Eldritch Blast get or just the first?  Assuming all but adjust accordingly if need be...))

     “Boed i'r pydredd gymryd eich stumog...“ Polly shouts, throwing her left hand out to point at the target, causing light purple, even lavender bolts of crackling energy to flash out at the target as she casts Eldritch Blast

Attack: 22 Damage: 14

Attack: 24 Damage: 12

Attack: 23 Damage: 13

     Polly otherwise hovers in midair a good 50 to 70 feet away from the thing.

     OwImp is primarily keeping an eye on the other demon and watching out for other interlopers, so as to give the team warning if need be.  OwImp does, however, find time to look back at Polly’s target, grab one of the [Tooltip Not Found] she prepared for him, and chuck if before ducking back behind Polly.

OwImp Attack: 11 Damage: 6

     The Zombie Gnolls, if not in melee range, also attack!

Z1 Attack: 23 Damage: 5

Z2 Attack: 16 Damage: 6

Z3 Attack: 12 Damage: 7

Z4 Attack: 19 Damage: 9

Z5 Attack: 20 Damage: 7

((Says they use my spell modifier bonus for attack and damage.  I assume that’s replacing the +whatever they had to hit and to damage, not over and above it.  But if I’m wrong we can certainly up the numbers!))

     And as a Bonus Action....  no no, just kidding!  Don’t want to lose concentration yet!

((Technically, they are all "a zombie" and I do not think it replaces their attacks, but adds to the stats in the book? So, if normal zombie has +3 to hit, Hit: 1d6 + 1, yours are +7 (3+4) to hit and 1d6 + 5 damage. I'll re-calculate the damage.))

The demon was unable to protect itself, and yet, the demon skin is not an easy thing to get through - some attacks hit, some bounced off the monster. The zombies made a circle around their big target, trying to get to it - and preventing anyone to join the fight from their side as well.

Choir, though, did not need the space, her spell found it's target. Mooncolor added more hooves-kicks:

Attack: 26 Damage: 10

Attack: 21 Damage: 9

It did not kill the monster out right, but the demon looked much worse now.

Round 6

Fran, Brutus, Ordrag, Adray (Ordrag got to the demon, attacks are still with advantage)
