You notice the blue whisp moving slowly, but with intent. It's obviously being controlled by something, though whatever that may be is out of sight. Following the trail of the whips, though, you notice many dark hidden in the alleyways throughout the district. You can tell their waiting for something to happen. As you see them you notice the smoke suddenly surges up and move very quickly towards the scarecrows.
Everyone:
You notice the blue whips completely engulf the two scarecrows. With a quick burst, the smoke dissipates, leaving the eyes of the scarecrows glowing a deep blue hue. All of a sudden, the scarecrows animate, knocking the performers to the side. As people start running away, you notice multiple civilians being knocked unconscious by masked assailants, dragging them away as they do so.
After seeing the figures in the alley, he lifts his hand up in a confused manner, " ''Scuse me, folks, but wha-". He gets interrupted as the mist suddenly surges towards the center of the plaza. He looks back at the people in the shadows, saying "Crap", and then darting back towards the scarecrows as they begin moving.
He yells "Ev'ryone! Move! Get yer BLOODY arses out of 'ere, NOW!", as he barges through the populace, hands on his swords' handle, going to grapple the first masked assailant he sees on his way through the crowd, instead of going directly to the scarecrows. (Going to do this before initiative, if possible. If not, tell me if it will be possible on my first combat round)
Perry's smile immediately drops at the scene. First and foremost, he stashes the pastries in his pockets as his head swivels to take in the chaos. A long string of halfling curses zoom out of his mouth as he struggles to fish out his mace.
Initiative: 21 She looks back at the people being dragged away "Oh, gods no" she says, then takes out her spellbook, gets up, and casts magic missiles with a wave of her arm. The missiles each have a different color; one red, another yellow, and the last one blue.
Noticing the chaos, Reese instinctively conjures up arcane darts to pelt the enemies at j14, o14, and r13. While they clearly feel the impact of the darts, they still continue onwards.
The assailant carrying the bodies each move 15 feet to the outskirts of the square, attempting to flee with the people on their backs. Belpos and Taigon each get an attack of opportunity.
The assailant at r13 swings at Gwing, trying to subdue them. Attack: 22 Damage: 2
The assailant at u8 runs up to Taigon and attacks in an attempt to back up his teammate. Attack: 14 Damage: 7
The assailant at o14 runs to Perry, noticing his drawn weapon. Attack: 11 Damage: 7
As Taigon draws his weapons, a second assailant suddenly comes into his field of vision, almost not being able to dodge his attack, but he manages to parry it with his short-sword (AC 15), shouting "Crap!". As the enemies weapon slides down the blade, he gets enough time to pierce and slash the moving figure carrying the other person.
In a quick movement, he thrusts with his rapier forward (Attack: 17 ; Damage: 8) and then quickly reaching in for a slash with his short sword (Attack 20 ; Damage: 6).
Perry ditches the mace and instead, necrotic energy crackles around his shieldless hand as he casts Inflict Wounds. He rears back the fist and attempts to deck the assailant in o12 right across their dumb face!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sorry I miss read where I was on initiative.
Roaring, Gwing starts running down the assailant carrying someone off yelling, "You don't get to take people from their homes!" They reach out and in f14 a long black tentacle appears and attacks the guy in g14 Attack: 11 Damage: 7 lightning damage and if it hits, their speed is reduced by 10. Then with their action, Gwing swings their greatsword at r14 in a savage display of strength and as it swings it is surrounded by waves of sound (Booming Blade) Attack: 21 Damage: 6 slashing damage and if it hits and the enemy moves, they take 1d8 thunder damage.
