Meanwhile, in the Westwoods...

Del turns to face the shadow R indicates, next to his horse, instruments at the ready. Perception 22 Survival 21

"We have company."  Raven says, drawing her blade and turning to face the shadow. 

"Oh I do hope it's the good kind of company," Mindartis says, drawing his blade. "Otherwise I'll have to kill it!"

(Roll initiative!) 18

Seeing that its stalking has failed and that the party is aware of it, a large figure lunges out of the bushes!

Initiative: 6

Initiative 23

(( Initiative: 7 ))

Initiative: 3

Raven initiative: 8 / 15

Raven moves up to the figure and strikes...

To hit: 17 / 17

Damage: 9

Sneak: 4

(Advantage if it has not taken an action yet...)

( I see the advantage gives a crit, so I will be adding in other damage if that is the case.  Let me know and I will update.)

(I'm afraid the creature has the highest initiative, so will have taken an action before you hit. Dang, I'm seeing so much red ink in all my games lately, I think the RNG has a sticky place on the 1s. Going to be doing a lot of rolling on this round and have to see the results, so hang tight for edits: will indicate when finished.) 3

With a hungry light in its eyes, the creature leaps toward Elwin, biting and slashing.

Bite: Attack: 12 Damage: 7 plus 8 necrotic damage

Claw: Attack: 15 Damage: 9

Claw: Attack: 15 Damage: 10

Elwin, Oroman, and anyone else within 5 feet takes 8 necrotic damage form the stench.  I'm going to roll a D20 for everyone here to determine who is within 5 feet, the first 3 to roll under 5 will take the damage.

Alcari  1

Caizana  20

Rufus  6

Rose  6

Del  6

Mindartis  17

Quentin  9

Raven  18

 Looks like Caizana and Rose-

9  5  1  8

All the horses (except Oroman) are spooked and run off in terror.  Oroman lashes out at the monster with his hooves. Attack: 14 Damage: 9

He misses, and Raven slashes at the encroaching monster!  The rest of the party can take their actions now.

Bonus Action: Rage (Is it even rage when he's just really excited about getting to kill something? Oh well it's still rage)
Wild Surge: 3
Arcane energy taps into the minds of those around you. Each creature within 30 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or you see a glimpse of the creature’s thoughts, learning how it plans to attack you. As a result, the creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the start of your next turn. - DC 14 save

Action: Reckless Attack All attacks made against Mindartis are made at advantage
Greatsword Attack 1: 23 Damage: 14
Greatsword Attack 2: 19 Damage: 15

Mindartis looks to the monster, his smile getting bigger even as his eye turn murderous. "Oh this will be lots of fun," he giggles, "now I get to kill something." Before charging the monster and slashing at him, laughing dangerously.

Holding out his wand Quentin says, "Oh no you don't...we're not food." As he casts Sapping Sting, the gravity on the creature suddenly attempting to crush him. 

Sapping Sting: DC 14 Con ST, fall prone on Failure plus 2 Necrotic Damage. Nothing on a success

(Rot Troll wisdom saving throw: 3 )

(Con saving throw: 20 )

((I guess that means, if it chooses to attack Mindartis just a straight attack?))

(No, that 3 is a total fail, and it has disadvantage to attack you if it goes for you.  It succeeded against Quentin's spell, though.)

I have no fire spells nor acid! Somebody? and to our new guest good morning  although it hears something different Dissonant Whispers  6 psychic damage, plus has to flee, half on DC 15 WIS save and if it seems successful I'm going to cut some words

((Wis save vs Del: 12 ))

The creature, spooked by the creepy undertones in Del's greeting, turns to flee in terror!

Raven opportunity attack if appropriate:

to hit: 9

Damage: 12 and 5 sneak.

REACTION: Opportunity Attack - 16, Damage incl. crit - Unable to parse dice roll.

Elwin struck the creature as it moved in, but it wasn't enough to stop it. The fierce attack took him by surprise; within seconds, he had fallen off his mount, and remained motionless.

Death Saving Throw: 1 ... of course
