Was that with advantage?

((( Saw the "with advantage and everything" note.)))

The larger manticore roars and both adults leap from their ledge taking wing to attack.

(( The manticore are in the air, 150 ft from the ledge where Rinn is standing. The cubs ran back farther into the nest, out of sight, when the adult male roared. ))

Robwin’s initiative: 21 

Lia’s initiative: 2 

Wolfsong Initiative: 14

 Initiative: 22

"Oh my gods" TT yells out dropping her light stone. She grasps the key that was given to her and extends her hand out towards the two Manticores and you see shadows begin to form around them.

Casting Bane Cha save DC 13 (Up to three creatures of your choice that you can see within range must make Charisma saving throws. Whenever a target that fails this saving throw makes an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends, the target must roll a d4 and subtract the number rolled from the attack roll or saving throw.)

TT: You feel a cool energy energy fill you as you cast using the key as you focus of faith. ((The manticore roll their save with disadvantage.))

Male Cha save 11

Female Cha save 4

 (DM Question - if you say the manticore in the air is 150ft from Rinn, should those attacks have been at disadvantage for long range over 100ft? Just want to check before applying damage :) )

Rinn's Initiative: 14

(( Good call ... I will reroll their attacks ))

Male against Rinn Attack 1: 23 Hit: 9 Attack 2: 6 Hit: 10 Attack 3: 6 Hit: 8

Female against Rinn Attack 1: 19 Hit: 5 Attack 2: 7 Hit: 10 Attack 3: 9 Hit: 4

Rinn winces as one of the spikes bites in and the others hit the dirt and rock about him. He reaches into his coin pouch and brings out a handful of coins, "Whoa whoa! If it's payment you need for me staying here a bit, then money I have!"

(OOC - not sure if you want to class that as my action or not? Otherwise he'll ready his longbow for an attack as if defending himself.)

(( You can roll a persuasion with disadvantage, DC 16, or consider it a free action for flavor and roll an attack as Rinn grabs his bow. ))

(OOC - lets go flavour & a readied attack.)

Manticore Ini 5

TT has gone this round.

Rinn, Robwin (Lia), Wolfsong, Manticore, Eline turns in that order.

((OOC: looks like Rinn is readying an attack. What would trigger the attack? Let us know)).

Robwin gasps as the two manticores rear up and attack Rinn. Luckily, at this distance, most of their flung spines just skitter off the rock of the cave around Rinn, but one hits him true!

Robwin dashes in front of his friend, Rinn. And for the briefest of moments, his mage armor and Arcane Ward flare bright in the dim light of the cave ((just flavour, but the others perhaps realise/remember he is still heavily protected by his magics)).

He slides up to a halt in front of Rinn. Legs spread, in a wide stance, for stability and arms out wide. Robwin is totally covering his friend. “No!… Stop!… Wait!…”, he shouts to the creatures up ahead.

”We’re here to help you!… We have a proposition for you!… Hear us out!…”.

If he has any more movement, he will walk slowly forwards, still covering his friend. Arms out in a wide, unarmed, submissive gesture… but ready to cast if need be.

If he can use his action to move further forward still, he will. Slowly, cautiously, not aggressively…

Maybe a persuasion check (if needed?): 15 

(OOC - oh yeah, sorry. Rinn is waiting for someone to get in combat to give him a better shot ie. sneak attack damage)

Wolfsong: You see the attack. You see Robwin show himself. You see the female seems to hesitate. The male does not. You know that rage. Pride, fear, the need to protect all boiled together into rage. 

Your turn.

Seeing the male manticore is still ready for a fight Wolfsong move to stand past Robwin calling forth the bestial nature that resides within his blood causing a coarse fur to grow covering his forearms, ankles, back and sides. He stares at directly at the male manticore and says, "This is your last chance kitten, we do this peacefully and we bring you to a place you can raise your young cub away from the dragon and those you have pushed from their hunting grounds, or you and I go head to head to see which of us the Wilds have truly blessed."

Wolfsong then turns to his Robwin and Rinn a vicious grin on his lips , "This comes to blows you leave the male to me, this is the hunt I have been waiting for."

Bonus Action: Shifting (gaining +1 to AC and 9 temp HP, lasts for 1 minute)

The male roars, flying 100 ft toward Wolfsong leaving 50 ft of chasm between them. The female stays back (holding attack).

Eline rush up to Wolfsong's position holding her great axe. (holding attack)

Round 2: TT, Rinn, Robwin, Wolfsong, manticore, Eline
