The Wildemount Irregulars (2020)

Squawk!  Bird 2 takes its first damage of the fight, but Bird 3 manages to dodge out of the way.

Bird 4 squawks in response and lunges for Balassar:

Attack: 6 Damage: 7
Attack: 18 Damage: 10

One miss, one solid strike against the warrior's shield, but no damage.

Alton is up.

(Strange, I neve got a notification that a post went up.)

Alton sees the bird fly past and head towards the horses, in a quick panic decision he gives chase for a few feet before stopping and says, "How do farmers party? They turnip the beats." Casting Tasha’s Hideous Laughter.

Movement: Moves 10 feet towards bird5
Action: Casts Tasha’s Hideous Laughter on bird5, A DC 14 wisdom saving throw or fall prone, becoming incapacitated and unable to stand up for the duration.

Bird 5 WIS save:  13

There's a cawing sound that might be dismissive laughter, but the peryton is unaffected.

Peryton 1 attacks Silent:

Attack: 9 Damage: 4
Attack: 25 Damage: 14

He takes a beak to the face, but deflects the talon attack.

Bird 2 swoops away, and then dives down towards Alton:

Attack: 10 Damage: 7
Attack: 9 Damage: 7

Two solid hits, and Alton is injured for the first time in this battle.

Silent is up.

(OOC: Damn these perytons must have an anti-magic field or something, so many saves! :P) 

Silent will continue whaling on the peryton. As he strikes, he will pivot around it such that he is now 35 ft. away from Bird 4, and he'll have his Echo move adjacent to Bird 4. 

Silent's Attack 13 Damage: 13 

That's a solid strike from on the peryton, which has now taken its first damage.  The echo moves into position, but does not attack yet.

Peryton 5 attacks Silent's horse:

Attack: 16 Damage: 8
Attack: 23 Damage: 9

It brings the poor creature down, and then swoops round to dive towards Alton, though it makes no further attack this round.

Peryton 3 is attacking Balassar:

Attack: 16 Damage: 9
Attack: 17 Damage: 6

With no success.

There is a shout of alarm from the other battle:  one of the guards is down, though whether dead or just badly wounded is not clear.  The other horses race off as fast as they can.

Round Three
Balassar
Peryton 4
Alton
Perytons 1 and 2
Silent
Perytons 3 and 5

Balassar is up.

(OOC: Didn't Silent deal 15 damage to Peryton 1 in his previous turn? I know his Echo's attack missed that round but it looks like his attack landed with a 24)

(Yes, it did.  I think I allocated the damage to the wrong creature.  I've adjusted it.  Unfortunately, these things are tough and it's still not down, even counting that blow.)

(Wouldn't have it any other way :D) 

Balassar is up.

Balassar continues his assault on the creatures.

OOC:

Action: Attack on Bird 3: Action: Attack on Bird 3: 12 Damage: 6, Giant's Might Additional Damage: 2

The bird flaps and dodges.  

Bird 4 attacks right back at Balassar: 

Attack: 23 Damage: 4
Attack: 16 Damage: 10

But both claw and talon miss.

Alton is up.

Alton sees that his is in quite the predicament and glances behind him towards Balassar before taking a moment to carefully remove himself from the two creatures. He then bolts towards Balassar and puts himself back to leg with Balassar. "How are you doing up there, Balassarus Rex? Looks like you could use a quick pick me up." and casts Healing Word on Balassar.

Action: Disengage, hopefully it works on both the Peryton's next to Alton.
Movement: 30 feet towards Balassar, putting himself in the space between Balassar and Silent's Echo.
Bonus Action: Casts Healing Word on Balassar at 2nd level, healing him for 11

Alton, you dart away from the creatures, and they try to take a talon swing at you but you disengage successfully, and heal Balassar as well.

Bird 1 attacks Silent:

Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Attack: 13 Damage: 5

Though he dodges the beak, a nasty talon scrapes across his torso.

Bird 2 swoops in to attack Silent's Echo:

Attack: 10 Damage: 9
Attack: 16 Damage: 7

As a beak pierces the illusion, it fades.  The bird gives a squawk of surprise.

Silent is up.

Silent will use a bonus action to summon an Echo again, adjacent to Peryton 2. He will Unleash Incarnation, attacking both Peryton 1 and Peryton 2. 

Silent's Attack 27 Damage: 18 
Echo's  Attack 18 Damage: 12   

Silent, you cut the left wing from Peryton 2; it screeches in horror as it tumbles to the ground.  It thrashes for a few seconds, but is clearly dead or moments from dying.  Peryton 2 is effectively dead.

The Echo also cuts deep into Peryton 1's wing, though without severing it.  The creature is badly wounded.

Bird 5 dives towards Alton, beak and talons ready to strike:

Attack: 22 Damage: 4
Attack: 22 Damage: 8

And after one attack hits, it flies on by, immune to Opportunity Attacks.

Peryton 3 attacks Balassar:

Attack: 11 Damage: 7
Attack: 15 Damage: 10

Clumsily and ineffectively against the powerhouse dragonborn.

Round Four
Balassar
Peryton 4
Alton
Peryton 2
Silent
Perytons 3 and 5

The battle of the guards is going a little better; they are holding their own and have managed to wound one of the creatures badly, taking only minor injuries themselves.

Balassar is up.  And Silent, if you would like to have moved after your last turn, you can do that.

(OOC: Silent will cautiously advance 2 squares directly down on the grid, wincing from multiple bleeding wounds)

Balassar is up.

Notifications seem to be getting better, but are still not reliable, as far as I can see.
