!!Lost Mine of Phandelver Campaign Thread!!

Droop ties the reins to a nearby tree and pats Pale and the donkey. The party follows the Hob/goblins for several minutes, getting a little bit closer, but still being fairly quiet.  You can now see that the prisoner has goatlike horns and pointed ears, and it's legs end in what appear to be hooves, with thick fur from the waist down.

Suddenly the prisoner starts laughing and trips, landing on her shoulder and rolling onto her back, still laughing.  The goblins and hobgoblins look at the prisoner, curiously.

" We have to rescue her.  Close fast, hobgoblins are murder with their bows...and far more dangerous than goblins."

Lyngheid readied to charge.

OOC:

Initiative: 5

Move full movement. Dash Action. Bonus Action cast Spiritual Weapon as close to them as possible.

Hell yeah!  You close to within 50 feet unseeen, and then your sudden charge catches their attention! 

Everyone roll Initiative!

Droop: 19
Hobgoblins: 16
Goblins: 15

And take your turn if higher initiative than the Hobgoblins!

Umbriel initiative: 22

Baeshra Initiative: 10

Laughing Lady Initiative 21

Droop, hearing Lyngheid's call to arms, races towards the hobgoblins.  He looks around to realize that he is leading the charge and skids to a halt behind a bush.  He'll try to hide: 12, and ready a Shortbow attack on H4 to be triggered if anyone else attacks.

Round 1 Initiative:
Droop: 19
Hobgoblins: 16
Goblins: 15
Laughing Lady: 14
Baeshra: 13
Umbriel 7
Lyngheid: 5
Rosie: TBD
Ireniana: TBD
Whistler: TBD

Whistler smiles a beaky smile at Lyngheid from 4 dimensions to the left of the rest of the party. Permission to rip flesh has been granted as he embraces the savage Kenku within, swinging his beloved greatsword over the shoulder like it is made out of tin foil.

OOC: Whistler action to dash and bonus action to rage and lock onto H3.

Initiative: 10

Ireniana Initiative - 20

She will draw her bow and fires on H4 if Droop fires. 

Rosie Initiative: 12

Ireniana runs up with Droop.  The unlikely pair has trained together well over the past week, as they share a quick nod and both take aim at H4, no words needing to be spoken.

Rosie follows suit, and gets on the other side of the bushy tree, [Tooltip Not Found] aimed and ready to fire!

The Hobgoblins look up from the Laughing Lady and see the charging party.  A big one in the back sounds the alarm.  Those that speak goblin can hear:

 The big one rushes forward, pushing a goblin into formation and getting to the center of the line.  Two other hobgoblins help form the line and two fall back a few steps, Longbows raised.

HG1 Bow attack on Ireniana: 5 + 3.  The arrow streaks through the brush and pierces into the elven fighter for 3 piercing damage.

Droop's held attack releases and he releases an arrow from his Shortbow at H4: 15.  The little goblin learned well from his training and the arrow drives right into the Hobgoblins neck for 6  + 1 piercing damage.  H4 is looking pretty rough.

Rosie and Ireniana's held attacks release now too!

HG2 takes a shot at Rosie: 15 + 4.  The arrow finds it's mark, doing 9 piercing damage to the little halfling.

HG3 and HG4 ready attacks if any of the party gets within melee.

G1 takes a shortbow shot at Ireniana: 18 + 1.  But the arrow gets tangled in the brush between them.
G2 takes a shortbow shot at the now visible Droop: 9 + 4.  The arrow manages to hit Droop for 5 piercing damage.
G3 takes a shot at Rosie: 9 + 3.  And the arrow hits!  3 piercing damage.
G4 readies a shortsword attack if any of the party gets within melee.

 Whistler rushes up and rages at HG3.  HG3's releases his held Longsword attack! 21 + 1.  But the raging Kenku ducks under the strike.

Lyngheid dashes up to the mix and gets her spiritual weapon out.  G4 swings at her! 8 + 4.   But it bounces off of her chain mail.

Summary:
- Ireniana takes 4 piercing damage.
- Droop takes 5 piercing damage.
- Rosie takes 13 piercing damage.
- HG4 is looking rough, and has a held attack if any of the party get within melee.
- Rosie and Ireniana's take your held shots (If Rosie wants to cast a spell instead, go for it.).

Round 1 Initiative:
Ireniana: 20
Droop: 19
Rosie: 18
Hobgoblins: 16
Goblins: 15
Laughing Lady: 14
Baeshra: 13
Whistler: 13
Umbriel 7
Lyngheid: 5

Laughing Lady, Baeshra, and Umbriel take your Round 1 Turns.
Ireniana and Rosie take your Round 1 held shots, and your Round 2 turns.
Droop take your Round 2 turn.

Rosie grasps her amulet, breathes "Wild Mother, guide my aim," and shoots a Guiding Bolt at HG3. Attack: 16 Damage: 9

Ireniana fires an arrow

Attack: 24 Damage: 4

Umbriel will run up and take position next to Rosie, and cast Crown of Madness on the big Hobgoblin in the middle (HC) - he'll need to make a DC14 Wisdom save, or else a jagged iron crown will appear on his head and he'll feel the irresistible urge to make a melee attack on HG3. 

HC Wisdom Save: 7

A jagged iron crown suddenly sprouts from the large Hobgoblin's head.  He turns towards HG3, weapon raised!

Rosie grasps her amulet, breathes "Wild Mother, guide my aim," and shoots a Guiding Bolt at HG3. Attack: 16 Damage: 9

 

 Is that your Round 1 or Round 2 turn?

Quote from Al_the_bard >>

Ireniana fires an arrow

Attack: 24 Damage: 4

 Is that your Readied attack from Round 1?

(OOC: Round 1. Sorry, I missed that I needed to take my round 2 turn as well!)

Rosie mutters under her breath in irritation and raises her crossbow, firing off a bolt toward HG2. Attack: 23 Damage: 7

Yes it is

Baeshra will gesture at the pack of enemies and command the roots of the trees to ruse up and grasp them before shifting to dinoform and racing straight south.

Action: entangle on the group, looks like I can get everyone but hc2 and g1, including the prisoner. DC14 str save or restrained, whole 20x20 area is difficult terrain.

BA: wildshape

HC, HG1, HG3, HG4, G2, G3,  G4 Strength Save: 20, 4, 14, 16, 5, 15, 3

HG4, G3 and G4 are Restrained.  Keep that in mind anyone that goes after Baeshra, which is everyone.

Baeshra summons help from the trees and manages to entangle a few of the critters before he turns into a Deinonychus and races south.

Whistler's round 1 turn stands.

Umbriel's round 1 turn stands.

Lyngheid makes it to the fools, Restrained G4's attack roll was actually at disadvantage, so it definitely doesn't land.

Round 2!

Rosie takes a shot at HG2 and the crossbow bolt slams into it's armor, doing a fair bit of damage.

Round 2 Initiative:
Ireniana: 20
Droop: 19
Rosie: 18
Hobgoblins: 16
Goblins: 15
Laughing Lady: 14
Baeshra: 13
Whistler: 13
Umbriel: 7
Lyngheid: 5

Summary:
- Ireniana gets her Round 2 turn.
- Laughing Lady gets to try and work her way out of the manacles, and then make a Strength save to avoid Baeshra's magical roots. 
- HG4 is inches from death, HG2 and HG3 are looking a little hurt.

Round 2: Whistler brings up his Greatsword in a huge sweeping cleave upon HG4 using his new mastery!

Attack: 17 Damage: 20

He uses the critical to move his beloved Greatsword into HC3.

Attack: 19 Damage: 22
