Dreams Into Journey

(One quick correction @happyandbob, the orc is just one space south (Q14) of Andivus so your attack is up close and personal where you started your turn instead of at range. I just forgot put in coordinates)

(Gotcha Gark turns to attack the orc then. Everything else the same. Thanks!)

Lia shoots at one of the orcs...

To hit:  23

Damage: 5

She then ducks back behind her cover.

Oswin will reel from the damage of the bolt and pull it out, pressing a glowing hand to the wound.

Cure wounds: 6

 Bandit Dex save [DC14]: 3

 The bandit didn't even see the tongue of radiant flame from Valentia sprout at his feet and subsequently erupt, searing his skin (4 radiant damage to bandit #4). Valentia then ducks behind the nearby carriage.

Reeling from his major hit, Oswin takes a moment to magically close his wounds.

With a lust for orc blood, Gark thrusts his spear right into its neck. Then, with a cruel twist of his arm, he gouges out a large chunk of flesh from its neck, to the point one could see its spine. Nevertheless, with a combination of the trauma, the blood loss, and blood filling its lungs, it collapses, lifeless in gurgling agony (26 piercing damage and dead).

Not heeding or hearing Gark's shout, Lia barely has time to aim at the orc before Gark ripped out its throat. She changes her target to one of the remaining bandits and hits him square in the shoulder (5 piercing damage to bandit #4). She then hides behind the carriage with Valentia.

Bandits' turn

The bandits are visibly shaken by their biggest assets being destroyed so quickly and (in one case) gruesomely. But, driven by something, they continue to try and take out the defenders.

Feeling confident from his last strike, the bandit that hit Oswin closes the distance and fires off another shot at him.

Attack: 14 Damage: 3

However, his hubris gets he better of him and the bolt sails off into the distance, harmlessly.

The burned and bolted bandit next to Gark, still thinking he has a chance against the man who savaged his orcish companion, attempt another slash with his sword.

Attack: 7 Damage: 3

He forgets that the edge of the blade is supposed to strike with the bladed edge, not the flat of the blade and harmlessly smacks Gark's armored shoulder.

The last bandit stows his crossbow and draws his sword and goes right for Andivus.

Attack: 10 Damage: 3

With a mighty swing, he successfully hits the air just in front of Andivus.

End of round

Start of round

Map:

 Everyone can take their turn!

Oswin will take a deep breath, making sure his wound is closed enough to move, then raise his crossbow and take a shot at the nearest surviving bandit, moving to the front of the wagon if necessary.

Attack: 18 Damage: 5

Seeing the orc fall with a satisfying thud, Gark spins to his right with a slash of his long sword at the bandits chest. 

Attack: 9 Damage: 12 

Lia pokes her head out and casts magic missile She targets the least-injured of the bandits...

Force damage:  10

She then ducks back behind the wagon.  "Why aren't they running yet?"  She asks Valentia with a frown, pushing her white hair behind her ear as she tries to think what would have these bandits continue such an obviously lost fight.

"I wonder. They have a lot of reason to do so..." Valentia replies to Lia. She was raising her hand, seeing Oswin being hurt, but as he heals himself she hesitates and switches plans. Instead, she steps just behind the Artificer, to fire another [spell]Sacred Flame[spell] at the enemy nearest to them.

DC 14 Dex save or 1 Radiant Damage.

Andivus looks around for any target still standing, if he sports one he will send another eldritch blast!

Attack: 10 Damage: 11

“Relentless these guys are, eh?”

(I Jinxed it)

Bandit Dex save [DC14]: 10

As the bandit is reloading his crossbow, he barely notices another radiant flame sprout just below him. He tries to dodge but is too late as it burns him (8 radiant damage).

Oswin then fires a shot at the same bandit and hits him in the gut. He slumps over and breathes his last (5 damage and dead).

Andivus and Gark both strike at the bandits that are bothering them, but they are dodged.

Suddenly, Lia pops out and releases three lances of arcane energy. They all home in on the bandit by Andivus. The first two batter him, while the final one hit him right into the chest, caving it in, complete with the sickening cracking of several broken ribs (13 force damage and dead).

Seeing himself at the verge of death and completely outnumbered, the last bandit quickly turns tail and tries to flee to the east (disengage and move to R6).

End of round

Start of round:

 Everyone can post their turn.

Gark chases after the remaining bandit and tries to tackle him to the ground. 

strength 24 

Andivus will hold his eldritch blast if the Orc gets out of the grapple.

Attack: 24 Damage: 5

Lia steps out with crossbow in hand again, eyes on the alert as it appears the only remaining bandit is under control.

Bandit athletics: 3

The bandit struggles with all of his might, but the combination of Gark's weight and sheer strength it too much for him to handle. He is successfully grappled by Gark.

Realizing he isn't going anywhere any time soon, "Damn! How'd it end up like this...?"

Out of combat!

Oswin will call out to the rest of the caravan, "Everyone all right? Shout out if you see any other threats or need assistance!" And then he'll head over to the bandit pulling rope off his pack, "Are we bringing him with us? Or should I get a shovel instead?"

Gark snickers at Oswins jab “He he. Maybe we should get him to Forscal and get paid.”

Gark binds the bandit’s arms together behind his back and then ties him to the first wagon so he is forced to walk alongside as the wagon moves. Then he stabs each orc again to make sure they are dead  

@oswin “What is in the wagons that so many folks want to stop them from getting to town?”

(Would we know?)
