Got-wolf slinks along at Alton's heels, baring his teeth at the Professor as she almost certainly doesn't listen and decides she's going to sprint into the room. ( :P )

Stealth: 5

I will post properly tomorrow morning, but in the meantime let’s get initiative rolls from everyone please!

Initiative: 13

Initiative: 4

Alton, the professor nods at you when you tell her to stay put. She sees you are serious and is now afraid for her own life. You slink up hugging the wall and get to the entrance of the sub-chamber. The ghouls do not hear you at all because of your masterful ability to sneak. 

Got-wolf, when you bare your teeth at the professor, she jumps back "I know, I know, I get it, wolfy. I'll stay back, boy." she is almost shaking at this point. The wolf then moves forward behind Alton very quietly, at first. Then, it happens.

The wolf farts. And it's loud. Loud enough for the ghouls to hear it. They look up and immediately see Alton and Got-wolf, flesh still hanging from their mouths.

This is what initiates combat, not Landy rushing forward :p

Ralf initiative: 13     Landy initiative: 17  (not rolling for Zhoggab as he is too far away for this) Ghouls: 13

Round 1: Alton, Got-wolf, Ralf, Landy, Ghouls

Alton is up! Got-wolf and Ralf can also queue their moves for processing after Alton's if they wish, or wait to see what Alton does first.

The map is updated. There are no actual tiles in some sections of the map so just use your judgement for the distance.

Alton rushes towards the nearest ghoul, drawing both shortswords. He then takes two strikes with cry, attacking the ghoul (No sneak attack).

Attack: 15 Damage: 4

Attack: 12 Damage: 5

Alton, you rush in and your swords flash in the air from the sunlight coming from the windows and cut deep into the ghoul. (the one diagonally down) (-9)

Got-wolf and Ralf are up!

Map updated.

"Next time, hold it in, you must!" Ralf shouts as he masterfully twirls his staff in his hands at blinding speed, and then with both hands, slams it into the ground! The earth starts to rumble as a spectral hand bursts from the ground, reaching for the ghoul that Alton stabbed! Ralfaen casts Chill Touch on the ghoul next to Alton. He then runs with both hands behind his back, Naruto style, until he is two squares (10 feet) south of Alton.

Attack: 7 Damage: 7

Also, I would assume that since each character would take up 4 of the little square tiles on the map, would that count as 5 feet? Maybe we could also use that as a measure of movement for when we aren't on the little square tiles.

Got-wolf attacks!

((I'm on phone for another few hours, but if someone wants to roll the wolf attack with advantage for me?))

Ralfaen, everything happens as you've described, and the spectral hand mauls at the ghoul. It doesn't seem to get the best grasp on the sucker, but the ghoul is definitely feels all of the effects. (-2, disadvantage if attack Ralf)

Got-wolf also moves in and bites at the injured ghoul's gut: Attack: 17 Damage: 9 STR save: 14 the wolf makes up for his intestinal blunder by chomping deep into the ghoul's gut, ripping the abdomen apart. (-9). The undead creature remains standing. 

Landy shrieks when she hears the sounds of gore, and decides to creep ahead. She doesn't want to be alone near the temple entrance, but she doesn't want to get too close to the combat. She says "Are you ok guys!? Do you see Skein and Tanlik?? How about Quinn??" she yells to you all, forgetting that she likely didn't tell you the names of her dig team yet.

The first ghoul which is untouched lumbers over and using it's momentum tries to reach out at Alton with its claws: Attack: 8 Damage: 6 and it clumsily misses as the halfling's agility is too good. 

The second, injured ghoul, since it is already in melee range, tries to bend over and bite the Got-wolf back. On his back. Attack: 19 Damage: 5 and the undead's mouth misses by a long shot as the canine easily moves out of danger. 

Round 2: Alton, Got-wolf, Ralf, Landy, Ghouls

Alton is up! Same as before with Gotur and Ralf - you can queue your moves if you want, or wait to see what Alton does. 

Map is updated. 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JMcWkjg_2bADKFk72NcYqCT9q6iqli_XAHA77ojzLz0/edit#gid=766121581

((Bite again in whichever Alton gives him pack tactics on! I'll roll if I get to my computer before you update.))

Alton will use his bonus action to disengage, moving behind his friends to come to the south of the injured ghoul on the map. He then raises his shortsword and stabs into the foul beast, this time with sneak attack. 

Attack: 20 Damage: 17

Alton, you nimbly move and flash your sword as it stabs right through the ghoul, stopping it immediately. It slides off your blade and falls to the ground, dead. 

Got-wolf, none of your allies are now within 5 feet of the remaining ghoul, so no pack tactics on this one. Attack: 18 Damage: 7 STR save ghoul: 6 the wolf once again is successful with its bite, this time on the fresh ghoul. (-7). The ghoul is also knocked prone due to the wolf's forward momentum. 

Ralf is up! 

Map is updated.

"Always get the last word, the wisest must!" Ralf exclaims as he runs backwards  and *POP* goes into his shell (NOTE: He is not using shell defense, but this is me flavoring an attack of his). You then see wooden stakes *SCHING* slide out of his shell on all sides. The shell starts to spin, and spin, and spin as dust is starting to surround Ralfaen. "This one I call... LET IT RIP! GRREEEEHHHH!" he screams as the rapidly rotating shell zooms forward like a tornado of blades towards the ghoul, as this is what Ralfaen likes to call a "Claw" attack!

Attack: 13 Damage: 4

(I've always wanted to do this with a Tortle character. Holy shit I'm so hyped!)

Got-wolf will snap at the remaining ghoul.

Attack: 18 Damage: 8

Ralf, you do exactly as you've described! Your attack of bey-bladian origins slices the ghoul up. (-4)

(Got-wolf, I ended up rolling for your second attack above, the one for -7, but if your 18/8 is for your next round, then perfect)

Landy continues to be annoying and keeps calling out "Do you see Skein and Tanlik?? How about Quinn??"

The ghoul picks itself up from the ground, and then lashes out with its arms downwards towards the tortle named Ralfaen who just attacked it, with its sickly claws bared: Attack: 10 Damage: 8 and the claws crack off Ralf's hard shell causing him no damage.

Then... another ghoul emerges from the room to the east. It is still dark in there since there are no windows, and Ralf isn't close by. However, you can see the ghoul emerge from the room. It must've heard all of the action and was aroused. It will take a turn next round. 

Professor Landy sees the new ghoul, and screams out loud "There's another one! Oh... my... GAWD!!!!  It's QUINN!! Noooooooo! WHAT THE BLAZES???!!"

So the new ghoul is, or was, Quinn who was part of the dig team. Landy recognizes his face even as a ghoul. 

Round 3: Alton, Got-wolf, Ralf, Landy, Ghoul 1, New Ghoul

Alton is up!

Map is updated.

((Thanks Spider))

((Yes, next round, I knew I was going to be in and out during the day, so wanted you to have it if you got to it!))

"Fear not, professor, for a plan, I have. Saved, your friend can be!" says Ralf as he emerges from his "Blade Forme", and whacks the ghoul with the raven shaped head of his wooden staff. Since he has a shield on, he will do 1d6 instead of 1d8 if he hits. (Also, is the ghoul prone?)

Attack: 7 Damage: 7

((Ghoul is not prone, it stood back up. Ralf's turn is now queued for after Alton.))

Alton is up!
