Loaniss's Tyranny of Dragons

Pimster's arrow sails through the air and lands into the shoulder of the hooded acolyte (A4).

Adracos attempts to hide in the shadows of the building...
Stealth - 26
As Adracos makes his way, his foot slips on a patch of mud that was difficult to gauge, but hopes that's sufficient...

Kano's flame spins. catching the acolyte (A2) in the chest!

Tengar's javelin spears through the acolyte (A2) as they crumble with a clotted groan.

Lux takes out another bow and fires towards the already hit acolyte (A4)...
Ranged Melee Attack: 15 Damage: 12 (piercing)
The arrow slams into the acolyte and they knocked to the ground to not get back up...

The kobolds spin their slings and aim before letting them fly!

K5 to Lux - Ranged Weapon Attack: 19 Damage: 4 (bludgeoning)
The stone flies wide smacking against the stone floor

K7 to Kano - Ranged Weapon Attack: 13 Damage: 4 (bludgeoning)
The pebble flies but doesn't seem to land anywhere nearby!

K8 to Pimster - Ranged Weapon Attack: 20 Damage: 4 (bludgeoning)
The pebble slams into Pim's shoulder with a splash of pain!

Kano:

Springing down off the wagon, Kano rushes east and swings his fist in a fierce arc at the adjacent kobold (K8)!

Lightning Punch (Shocking Grasp):  Attack: 27 Damage: 9

Tengar

Currently being too far away to make it to the kobolds, Tengar sneers and takes his mace in hand. He runs down to the corner of the building and targets K5 with Toll the Dead, clanging his mace off his shield.

 K5 needs to make a wisdom save (DC 13) or take 7 Necrotic damage (11 If it’s missing any HP)

Pimster returns fire to the kobold that struck him (k8), sending an arrow towards the creature! Attack: 11 Damage: 10

The halfling then moves to hide behind the cart. 

Pimsters's arrow hits it's mark! The kobold (K8) takes an arrow to the chest but is still going!

From the shadows a large drake (D3) ambushes Pimster from behind, and takes a bite out of the unsuspecting halfling!
Melee Weapon Attack: 23 Damage: 11 (piercing)
The large mouth of the towering lizard to the halfing snaps him up in an instant, and shakes him violently before throwing his body to ground, barely alive...

Adracos throws his daggers at the kobolds!
To K7 - Ranged Weapon Attack: 5 Damage: 6 (piercing)
The blade is heard skittering in the rubble of the gate...

To K5 - Ranged Weapon Attack: 18 Damage: 5 (Piercing)
The dagger lands its mark!

Kano's arching lightning punch makes contact and the kobold (K8) is sent flying into the remains on the gate, still twitching with lightning energy...

The kobold (K5) hears Tengar's bell and reaches for its ears...

Wisdom Save (DC13): 14
It's too slow as a definitive gong! sound trembles to its very soul. All colour fades from the kobold as it slumps over dead.

Lux fires his arrows at one of the kobolds (K7)!
Ranged Weapon Attack: 14 Damage: 12
The arrow slams into the kobold and it goes flying in a splatter!

Tengar

As the last kobold falls, from the relative safety of the corner of the building, Tengar looks a bit behind him near Pimster and watches as the friendly halfling gets mauled and thrown to the ground.  The half-orc takes another javelin from his harness and hurls it in rage at the drake, disgusted at it picking on the smallest of their group.  Attack: 9 Damage: 7 

Death Save #1: 3

Kano:

Leaping atop a barrel in the wagon, Kano unleashes his most powerful ranged attack at the Drake who just ambushed his companion -- The Ki Shuriken!  The pendant on his neck glowing, the mystical martial artist flings a powerful coruscating shuriken at the drake!

Ki Shuriken (Chromatic Orb):  Attack: 8 Damage: 16

Pimster's Death Save #1 a success!

The Ambush Drake (D3) leaps over the fallen halfling and goes for Adracos with another bite!
Melee Weapon Attack: 16 Damage: 4
The lizard takes a massive chomp on the human!

Adracos draws his shortswords and swipes at the drake in return!
Melee Weapon Attack (Main Hand): 19 Damage: 10 (piercing)
Melee Weapon Attack (Off Hand): 26 Damage: 8 (piercing)
With exceptional skill, each swipe lands their mark on the lizards chest causing deep, dark wounds!

Kano's impressive attack just misses the drake and smashes against the nearby building.

Tengar's javelin pierces through the air as it lands into the hide of the creature, which lets out pained rumbling cry!

Lux aims another arrow at the beast before firing away!
Ranged Weapon Attack: 17 Damage: 6 (piercing)
The arrow lands itself in the neck of the creature!

With a final cry of pain, almost of mourning, the large drake slumps to the ground.

{End of Combat}

As the coast clears, soldiers begin to charge past you all. Using simple spells and muscle, they begin to blockade the gateway.

Tengar is the first to notice more cultists and their kobolds making their way up the hill, it will only be a matter of time before there's another wave and the soldiers just will not make it in time. 

Mini Skill Challenge

Describe how you character can use their skills, proficiencies and/or spells to help barricade the shattered gateway to prevent another wave from coming through!

Map for reference:

Tengar

His ire increases exponentially as the half-orc sees the mass of kobolds coming up the way and he decides to use his mace to first bludgeon the head off the dead drake (or if possible get the entire drake body),  throw it in the wagon, and will use his tremendous strength to wheel the wagon to the barricade, getting others to assist him if possible (using intimidation if necessary!) 

Kano:

Riding the surging wagon like a beachfront wave, Kano encourages the soldiers to join them in forming the intimidating barricade—a wagon and barrels topped by dead cultists, kobolds, and a drake’s head!

Persuasion to get the soldiers to help with Tengar’s idea:  25

Also using the help action to give Tengwar advantage on his intimidate by directing the positioning of the bodies in the most frightening of ways.

Tengar

His ire increases exponentially as the half-orc sees the mass of kobolds coming up the way and he decides to use his mace to first bludgeon the head off the dead drake (or if possible get the entire drake body),  throw it in the wagon, and will use his tremendous strength to wheel the wagon to the barricade, getting others to assist him if possible (using intimidation if necessary!) 

He’ll slam the wagon down and take the head (or body if possible) and with a mighty roar of fury, throw it at the oncoming rush of puny wannabe dragons. “THIS IS WHAT WAITS FOR YOU HERE!!!!”  Then he’ll bring a sacred flame into the mix at the nearest enemy.   (If the drake and it wagons a no go, then as many kobold carcasses as possible will do - trying to fright/intimidate) 

 Intimidation - 21 

Then Tengar will turn his back and saunter over to Pimster and cast Spare the Dying, stabilizing the halfling.

The halfling lets out a groan. Although he doesn't get up, he no longer looks quite as pale...

With the roars from Tengar, with the aid of the soldiers called over by Kano, a fair few the of the charging cult and kobolds lose their zeal and turn elsewhere. The fact the gate is open, and ripe for an assault still appeals and more distant enemies continue to advance towards the keep...

Adracos calls out to the soldiers helping the wounded to see if they can spare a moment to look at Pimster.
Persuasion: 23
"Oh my! Why of course, please hold..." In a very similar motion to the previous cleric, a light builds over some time. Unlike the last time, where the light was warming, this light is sheer and get to a point its almost blinding before disappearing and you all feel a cold wash over you but leaves you soothed. (You all heal 10)

Lux defly takes himself up the wall and joins the few archers and crossbow soldiers to help take out any incoming forces...
Ranged Attack #1: 25
Ranged Attack #2: 25
Ranged Attack #3: 14
Lux shots are on the mark! Taking out a few who give wild cries as they charge, the more subtle or dextrous large lizards arrows zip past them...

Pimster's eyes open, and he thanks the healer for the help! He then gets to his feet and follows Lux up to the top of the wall. There, he scans the oncoming attackers (Perception: 21) and points out the one giving orders. "Shoot that one - maybe the rest will scatter..." he says to the archers and points out one of the cloaked figures standing towards the back.

Tengar

After seeing the halfling is okay, he’ll turn back to the throng and chanting some words that sound uncharacteristically soft and light for an orc, will bring a sacred flame down on a cloaked figure (if any are visible in range, otherwise a kobold will do). 
Dex DC 13 or take 7 radiant damage. 

Pimster doesn't quite have a lock on the exact target, as he turns back to confirm the target they're lost amongst the crowd. His spotting of enemies does thin the numbers, though!

Tengar's attack singes a kobold that sends them running! But a few more seem to replace them, almost instantly! A stronger spell, or more grander display, is needed to grant the soldiers enough time to barricade the gate.

Tengar notices they just need a little more time! (One more success!)

Kano:

Adroitly tumbling into the nearest clump of kobolds, Kano shouts, “Your Doom is upon you!” and lashes out with a spinning flurry of kicks and punches in all directions around him as he emits a thunderous clap of sound:

Performance:  9

Circle Kick (Thunderclap): DC 15 Con or Thunder Damage:  4

(If the sonic boom gives him advantage on that roll, here it is:  19

Kano's display is impressive, but given the wild savage high the cultists are on, the skill required and the damage that could be done is inconceivable to them and a group of attackers band together and charge another assault. The soldiers see them coming and retreat leaving any progress to be easily undone...

You all have a free movement and action before the assault starts that is out of initiative.
To move up and down the rafter takes your whole movement.
Those up in the rafters have half-cover. Rules below:-

Adracos hides in the shadow of the wall...
Stealth: 17
...

Lux readies an arrow and fires at the first cultist he sees...
Ranged Weapon Attack: 12 Damage: 10 (piercing)

Tengar

Tengar quickly checks to see if the barrels on the wall have any special markings, i.e. what's in them?

Tengar looks down in disgust at the mass of jerks and, having no spells left at the moment, will take aim at a more important looking foe (cult member) and throw a javelin at them:  Attack: 15 Damage: 5
