Another Dragon at Icespire Peak - IC Thread

Lia would be towards the back of the group.

fire bolt

To hit: 20 Damage: 2

Rhok would be towards the front, and step in front to shield the group and fire

First attack: hand crossbow:. Attack: 27 Damage: 7

 Crossbow expert bonus attack:. Attack: 28 Damage: 12

Second attack Attack: 18 Damage: 8

Colossus slayer if first attack hits:. 2

Three bolts from Rhok in quick succession take the closest ghoul out. A fire bolt from Lia leaves another scorched and on the brink of collapse.

Initiative order:
22 Rhok
12 Lia
10 Xarroth
  8 Four ghouls (18)
  3 Lothlién

Xarroth goes next, then the undead.

Xarroth slings a bolt of flame towards the ghouls. The spell splits mid-air before honing in on the foul creatures!

Fire Bolt
Twinned
Bolt #1 - Ranged Spell Attack: 22 Damage: 12 (fire) 
Bolt #2 - Ranged Spell Attack: 10 Damage: 10 (fire) 

Xarroth's bolts finish the ghoul that Lia ignited and badly burns another one, leaving only three undead to fight. They quickly cover the distance towards you and try to slash at those in front.
Attack: 24 Damage: 12 against Rhok
Attack: 10 Damage: 7 against Xarroth
Attack: 10 Damage: 8 against Lothlién

The half-elf manages to evade the ghoul's hand, but Rhok and Xarroth feel the claws dig into their skin.

Initiative order:
22 Rhok (4)
12 Lia
10 Xarroth (5)
  8 Three ghouls (19)
  3 Lothlién

Lothlién goes next.

Lothlién will try an Ice Knife where it can damage more of the zombies (idealy all of them). If that means an ally is on the splash dmg range, he's using Careful Spell as well.

Attack: 27 Damage: 18 piercing dmg; The target and each creature within 5 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (DC 15) or take 5 cold damage. Allies automatically save, thanks to Careful Spell.

Dex saves against ice knife: 6, 19, 17.

The charred ghoul in front of Lothlién takes the initial impact, which takes it out of action. The two remaining undead take some damage from the flying ice shards.

Initiative order:
22 Rhok (4)
12 Lia
10 Xarroth (5)
  8 Two ghouls (6) (6)
  3 Lothlién

Rhok goes next.

OOC: Lothlién uses the careful spell, he is in melee range with a ghoul and the other are next to his allies.

Rhok will fire at the ghouls again shrugging off the attack on him...

First attack: Hand crossbow:  Attack: 18 Damage: 5 

Colossus slayer damage if hit successful:  1

Crossbow expert bonus attack:   Attack: 15 Damage: 7

Second attack:  Hand crossbow:  Attack: 20 Damage: 5  

Three bolts at point blank range are too much for the ghoul in front of Rhok. It collapses to the stone floor, leaving a single undead standing.

Initiative order:
22 Rhok (4)
12 Lia
10 Xarroth (5)
  8 One ghoul (6, in melee with Xarroth)
  3 Lothlién

Lia goes next.

Lia sends a blast of fire at the remaining undead...
fire bolt
Attack: 24 Damage: 12

If Lia's spell fails, as a swirl of cold gathers in Xarroth's claws, a vortex of frost surrounds the remaining undead!

Frostbite
CON Save DC - 15
Damage on fail: 4 (cold)

Con save against frotbite: 14

Lia's spell misses its mark by a few inches. Frost from Xarroth's spell forms in the undead's arms and chest, slowing it down. It again tries to bite Xarroth.
Attack: 5 Damage: 12

But the cold slowed it down too much, letting the sorcerer evade its jaw.

Initiative order:
22 Rhok (4)
12 Lia
10 Xarroth (5)
  8 One ghoul (18, in melee with Xarroth)
  3 Lothlién

Lothlién goes next.

Lothlién mirrors Lia's attack, flinging a Fire bolt at the target

Attack: 11 Damage: 13

Aiming carefully to avoid hitting Xarroth, Lothlinén's fire bolt misses the ghoul.

Initiative order:
22 Rhok (4)
12 Lia
10 Xarroth (5)
  8 One ghoul (18, in melee with Xarroth)
  3 Lothlién

Rhok goes next.

Rhok will turn and focus his fire at the last remaining ghoul

First attack: Hand crossbow -  Attack: 25 Damage: 7 

Colossus slayer bonus damage if attack hits:  7  

Crossbow expert bonus attack:   Attack: 11 Damage: 8  

Second attack:  Attack: 10 Damage: 6  

The first bolt takes the ghoul out, it falls to its knees and collapses sideway. Now that the threat has been neutralized you can take a better look at the room.

This chamber was once a shrine, as evidenced by wall carvings that depict dwarves carrying censers and observing religious rites. However, the eastern section of the room has collapsed, filling the area where the altar used to be with rubble. Gnawed bones scattered among the debris are the remains of a number of dwarves.

Other than the half collapsed tunnel you used to enter this room there is a stone carved staircase on the southern wall.

"Shall we head up?" Lia asks, moving towards the stairs. If no one objects she starts up them.

Lothlién nods, following Lia

"One sec Loth, let me heal you a little" Rhok casts cure wounds on him Healing:  10 

and will also heal himself with another cure wounds:  Healing for Rhok   10 

and then will follow Lia, ready for anything to jump out

The staircase goes up and ends on the east wall of a wide corridor going north to south, covered in a thin layer of undisturbed dust. From the top of your staircase you see that the corridor turns west at the northern end and that a wider staircase leading down starts at the southern end.

On the opposite wall from your staircase is a closed door, another door is on the north end, next to the corridor bend.
