Zylxian will just hand the map to Alban so that he can keep them on track, and keep an eye out for traps that may await them on the road. He’ll take second in the marching order. Perception: 6
Lamlis will bring up the rear. He will look around for anything that could be a threat, occasionally looking behind to make sure nobody is following them.
The journey goes smoothly as the party travels through the plains. About half an hour from your destination, as the terrain has turned rocky and shrubbery, Alban catches movement out of the corner of his eye. Two orcs crouch in the shadows, axes drawn. Alban has just enough time to warn the party before the orcs jump out to attack!
Roll initiative.
((OOC - six seems to be the max roll for the night lol))
OOC: FYI, I will probably be slow on posting today. I'm flexing hours because I worked a 13-hour day yesterday, but my boss just gave me a huge new project to get done before I leave. Once I'm home, my ability to post is directly related to my one-year-old's willingness to nap.
(OOC: How do we specify movement? When I did PBP before the grid was marked with numbers and letters so I just said what hex I was moving to. Also, is diagonal movement and regular movement the same in this campaign?)
Alban moves two squares forward to cross the stream. He points to O2 and says "May the shadows take you!" Tendrils of shadow appear from the ground under O2's feet as it falls under his Hexblade's Curse. Bryce then attacks with his Eldritch Blast cantrip.
((OOC: This map should help make things easier, squares aren't quite centered, still experimenting with the best way to make battle maps. Yes, you can move diagonally, sel. Also, just wanted to clarify codexgigas, is your character's name Alban or Bryce?))
Zylxian's shot connects with orc 1, who bellows in pain.
Alban's eldritch blast soars just above the orc 2's head while the barbarian panics as the dark tendrils envelop his feet.
Elias will be in the middle somewhere so he can help in the front or back of the group.

"If you need help up front let me know and I'll be right up. If not, I'll keep an eye back here."
"I appreciate the offer Lamlis. I don't see anything out of the ordinary so far!" Alban replies.
OOC: We are CRUSHING these perception checks.

Zylxian pulls out his crossbow and fires a shot at O1, then moves 30 feet south into the shrubbery.
Attack: 15 Damage: 7
((Bot my character when its my turn. Last day at work for a week and i get an emergency customer visit 3 hours away.))
Alban moves two squares forward to cross the stream. He points to O2 and says "May the shadows take you!" Tendrils of shadow appear from the ground under O2's feet as it falls under his Hexblade's Curse. Bryce then attacks with his Eldritch Blast cantrip.

Zylxian's shot connects with orc 1, who bellows in pain.
Alban's eldritch blast soars just above the orc 2's head while the barbarian panics as the dark tendrils envelop his feet.
Lamlis is up.
OOC: I'm playing two PbP games right now and I got the names mixed up! Alban is in this campaign!
Lamlis moves 10 feet south to get an open shot. He calmly aims his crossbow and fires at orc O1.
Attack: 13 Damage: 5
Lamlis will then hurriedly move an extra 15 feet south towards the bushes which he will use as cover.
Lamlis scores a solid hit on orc 1, who appears to barely be clinging on to life.
Enraged, both orcs rush to Alban, swinging with their handaxes.
Orc 1 Attack: 18 Damage: 4
Orc 2 Attack: 14 Damage: 9
Alban easily parries and dodges their blows, none the worse for ware.
Seeing the orcs upon Alban, Elias runs to stand beside his ally, using his warhammer to fend off Orc 1.
Attack: 8 Damage: 5
His hammer connects with the orc's jaw, who collapses, unmoving and defeated.
Zylxian, your turn.
I’ll move 10 feet north to get a clear shot, Fire my crossbow, and then move back to where I currently am.
Attack: 18 Damage: 7 Sneak Attack: 3
