The one archer on the south rope bridge aims his next shot at the same target as his boss, that is, Utar. The two on ground level takes a couple of steps and shoot a Doozey instead {CZ-19, CZ-17}.
-> Longbow vs. Utar: Attack: 15
Damage: 6-> Longbow vs. Doozey: Attack: 10
Damage: 5-> Longbow vs. Doozey: Attack: 10
Damage: 4They shame the name of their clan. The other two archers do not. At the very top of the central tower, they finally get to ring the alarm. The repeated sound of a powerful brass bell rings loudly, and it travels far. (ALARM ACTIVATED!)
"You missed that one" Villonah tells Doozey, finding a second for a quick flirtatious jest. (Not her usual MO, mind you...)
-> Flaming Shortword vs. Zombie #2: Attack: 23 Damage: 15
-> Flaming Shortword vs. Cultist #3: Attack: 25
Damage: 19DM's Screen:
13Villonah stabs downward, almost putting an end to the already prone and just recently revived zombie. She hesitates for a moment and misses her chance to double-tap the creature. (Zombie #2 takes 15 piercing and fire damage.)
Garbul pulls a longsword from its scabbard and begins to duel Graxx: "You shall not overtake my stronghold, savage, traitorous nordling!"
-> Longsword vs. Graxx: Attack: 26 Damage: 11
-> Longsword vs. Graxx: Attack: 22 Damage: 6
-> Longsword vs. Graxx: Attack: 18 Damage: 23 (includes Martial Advantage damage.)
Graxx is unable to parry any of the well-drilled swordsmanship strikes from the warlord. (Graxx takes 19 slashing damage, already halved.)
(Graxx is up next.)
Graxx snarls at the cuts his took and unloads two stabs with his Pike at Garbul!
“Your command has ended!” Graxx shouts.
He does this recklessly and with great weapon mastery.
Attack: 10 Damage: 24
Attack: 5 Damage: 21
Divine Radiant to First Hit: 9
Graxx accepts Garbul's challenges and attacks fiercely. He finds that the warlord is no easy pushover like his other challengers so far. The hobgoblin blocks both attacks with his steel-reinforced shield.
(Zombies are up next.)
DM's Screen:
11 7
One of the zombies begins to stand up while the other prepares to attack. Before they can complete their tasks, Ilim and Abet go to work.
-> Damage roll: 16
Ilim produces a large floating fist and punches the zombie nearest to Utar, while Abet brings his shiny greatclub on the other zombie's head. None of the undead have a chance of diminishing the impacts... or standing back up afterwards. (Zombie #1 takes 16 radiant damage and is DEFEATED; Zombie #2 takes 16 radiant damage and is DEFEATED.)
(Neya, Doozey, Yalek, and Utar are up next. Neya has seen a hobgoblin archer just outside the door Ixas used, on the south rope bridge. Other enemies include the two archers and two cultists nearest to Yalek, the two archers all the way up the tower, and Garbul fighting Graxx. From their spots, no one sees Ixas atop the south building.)
Neya clenches her fist in pain but refocuses herself. She closes the distance between her and the hobgoblin on the bridge and starts throwing blows.
Unarmed Attack: 18 Damage: 7
Extra Unarmed Attack: 25 Damage: 10
Bonus Unarmed Attack: 8 Damage: 10
Forgot DA from frostbite: 15
(Dunno if I need to do DA for others in turn... But just in case #2: 19 #3: 9)
Extended Signature
It's hard to say what flustered Doozey the most at the moment. Villonah's unexpected and perhaps more meaningful comment, or the fact that technically she was right. Either way, he spent the next few moments after stumbling over his words while trying to ready to finish the job; only to be left surprised and disappointed as Utar's spooks do the job for him.
Then before he can fully process that, realizing Graxx may be in a bit of trouble, the stoutling looks back to Villonah one last time and just says, "Guess I better start practicing with the wee man, eh?" He thumbs the warlord's direction. Then with an awkward grin, he rushes over calling out a quick word in sylvan to narrow his focus on the hobgoblin, or more pointedly his weak points, before lashing out with the blade twice over.
"And you! You speak the true true. But then, like you, he's not alone!" He says as he puts one hand behind his back, and held the blade at the ready. "And as much as I'd let you two duel this out, your men, 'fraid we'll have to... cut this one short, eh?" He adds, giving his best toothy grin while Taters continues to keep the hob hemmed in.

Action(Taters): Defensive Training.
When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
(@Drache: You have disadvantage only on your first attack.)
Neya gives chase to Ixas but stops to deal with the hobgoblin in her way first. The archer is looking at Garbul and Graxx by the time Neya's three strikes are launched, so he only reacts in time to dodge one of them, and it was not even the one performed while the monk's hand was still feeling a bit stiff. Although the hobgoblin still has some strength left in him, he looks like he is about to hunch over at any second now. Neya's still inside the tower. (Hobgoblin Archer #1 takes 17 magical bludgeoning damage.)
Doozey is awash with two or three different emotions in the span of just as many seconds. Snapping right back into it, the halfling hunter turns his attention to the Zartruss Clan's leader. He let's Taters know that this is their next target, and the almiraj responds by preparing to deceive him as needed.
Villonah encourages Doozey with a little smile.
Doozey then hops toward the duel and tries to stab Garbul on the side. The warlord sees the incoming attack and parries it with his longsword (reaction). Doozey tries again but, this time, the hobgoblin's armor is all that is needed to deflect the blow.
Still holding his scimitar, Yalek begins to feel a bit surrounded. He tries to cut down at least one of the cultists assailing him.
-> Tattoo-enabled Scimitar vs. Cultist #7: Attack: 25 Damage: 20
-> Tattoo-enabled Scimitar vs. Cultist #6: Attack: 23 Damage: 8
The Zhentarim spy is quite successful, slashing one of the cultist's throat and then twisting to cut the other's side. His glowing tattoo shines even brighter for a moment. (Cultist #7 takes 20 slashing damage and is DEFEATED; Cultist #6 takes 8 slashing damage.)
Yalek then tries to stay hidden at least from the two hobgoblins approaching from the north (Cunning Action: 10), but fails. He turns to CRAP and pleads: "A little help here!"
(Utar's turn is still up.)
Snapping the end of the javelin sticking from his leg elicits a grunt of pain from the half-orc. Knowing he can't exactly go wading into battle with a large pointed stick protruding from his thigh, this seems the best way.
Given Yalek's cry for aid and the wall of water blocking the other path, Utar weaves through CRAP to DB,15, swinging Lightbringer at the nearest hobgoblin.
Attack: 16 Damage: 10
His spectral warhammer mirrors his own movement, seeking the closest hobgoblin and attacking (CY,15?)
Attack: 18 Damage: 8
DM's Screen:
21 12 9 5
Utar snaps the javelin sticking out of his thigh, steps on a corpse, and comes to Yalek's aid. As he moves, his spectral companions continue to attack (Damage roll: 14):
Once Utar is within range of the cultist Grewalt bashed, he also swings his weapon, bringing an end to that foe's life. (Cultist #6 takes 10 radiant damage and is DEFEATED.)
Utar's Spiritual Weapon had been ordered to also perform a follow-up strike against the nearest archer but, by the time it gets within range, Ilim had already killed him. The other archer is 10 feet away from the warhammer, just outside its reach.
Yalek thanks Utar: "Hail, Shargaas and Gruumsh!"
("LAIR" ACTION happens next.)
"LAIR" ACTION
A few more things happen:
END OF INITIATIVE ROUND 3
(Ixas and Garbul go next.)
Ixas moves closer to the edge of the building {DF-14} and picks her next target carefully. Seeing how easily Utar and his followers are cleaning the battleground, she calls on another flicker of frostbite to form:
-> Utar's CON saving throw {DC 15}: 17
The cleric's second amulet comes in handy, keeping him warm in response to the spell's coldness.
One of the cultists braves the Wall of Water, splashing through and attacking Graxx on the other side {DB-11}. The other is not as brave, stoping to attack Taters from the other side of the barrier {CZ-11}.
-> Scimitar vs. Graxx: Attack: 21 Damage: 7
-> Scimitar vs. Taters: Attack: 16
Damage: 3Taters is nimble and quick, avoiding the blade's swipe. Graxx has other priorities. (Graxx takes 3 slashing damage, already halved.)
The hobgoblin on the rope bridge drops his bow. With one of his free hands, he supports one of the wounds Neya gifted him, with the other, he grabs his sword and attacks.
-> Longsword vs. Neya: Attack: 25 Damage: 2
In what might be his very last act of combat prowess, the heavily wounded soldier draws some blood from the monk. (Neya takes 6 slashing damage.)
The two hobgoblins on the very top of the tower turn to face the fight now that the alarm has been activated {DA-13, DA-14}. They each aim an arrow at Villonah:
-> Longbow vs. Villonah: Attack: 14 Damage: 6
-> Longbow vs. Villonah: Attack: 24
Damage: 9-> First attack benefits from Martial Advantage for an extra 9 damage.
Villonah sees that she is being aimed at and quickly covers herself in a magical shield once again.
DM's Screen:
18
The last archer currently on the field has to first deal with Burga and her bashing shield. (Damage roll: 6) Although he avoids direct contact, the aura surrounding the halfling lady is still enough to bring him down. (Hobgoblin Archer #6 takes 8 radiant damage and is DEFEATED.)
(Villonah will go next.)
Feeling like the enemies just keep popping around her, Villonah attacks the zombie in front of her while it is still prone:
-> Flaming Shortword vs. Zombie #3: Attack: 13 Damage: 21
-> Flaming Shortword vs. Zombie #2: Attack: 22 Damage: 13
DM's Screen:
7
It takes two stabs, but Villonah is able to put this zombie down on her own. (Zombie #3 takes 32 piercing and fire damage and is DEFEATED.)
"We have the numbers' advantage. Your two or three rogue teams will never defeat our alliance!" Garbul screams as he continues to do battle with Graxx:
-> Longsword vs. Graxx: Attack: 27 Damage: 5
-> Longsword vs. Graxx: Attack: 23 Damage: 4
-> Longsword vs. Graxx: Attack: 18 Damage: 20 (includes Martial Advantage damage.)
Graxx pays a high price for swinging his pike so recklessly against a well-trained opponent. The hobgoblin warlord slashes the barbarian twice, before plunging his blade into Graxx's gut. Doozey gasps as he sees the end of the sword poking through Graxx's back. (Graxx takes 26 slashing and piercing damage, already halved.)
Edit: Grewalt takes a pop shot at Garbul (Damage: 15.) The warlord blocks the shot with his shield but the spectral bolt still makes some contact with his arm. (Garbul takes 3 radiant damage.)
DM's Screen:
15
(Graxx is up next. He is in melee with Garbul and a cultist.)
