Storm King's Thunder

Quote from Hardcopi >>

 How far away are they?

//If he is close enough I think I'd like to hunter's mark an shoot him. :)//

// You can attack any of the three shadows that was revealed by Angel's light, no disadvantage! They're easily within bow range. //

//Well they obviously heard us.... Angel is just so loud. :)//

"Time to get our hand dirty." Marav casts Hunter's Mark on the center one.

Marav Attack: 15 Damage: 7
Marav Hunters Mark: 3

Marav has Steele hold back, remembering how little non magical weapons do against Shadows.

Marav then moves back away from the Shadows, remaining within bow range. //I'll move my token when I see where the shadows are.//

-  Angel - 

Angel answers Crownsguard, "Radiance! They didn't like it when I hit them with my sun bolts... Radiant light!" (Initiative 7) 

---

- Ink - 

"Well, that's the one thing I can't do..." Ink mumbles. (Initiative 11) 

Quill keeps watch for reinforcements from the keep.

//  I take it that both Angel and Ink used their actions already, correct?  //

initiative 8

"let make this fast and quiet." firebolt the middle one 8 for 10

Crownsguard and Horse prepare! Initiative: 1!

Ink and Quill search for danger, but other than the things that were illuminated by the lighted stone, they simply cannot make out anything more than undulated shadows.

// Just a reminder, we're doing side initiative. It's now the enemies turn! //

The shadows move in, and as they do, Ink sees a much more powerful being materialize from the shadows and gliding towards him. It's like the other shadows, but with horns on its head and wings on its back. White eyes gleam out from its incorporeal form. 

The shadowy ghosts attack in concert, pushing against the heroes. 

Against Rip: Strength Drain attack 16 Damage: 8 necrotic, and the target's Strength score is reduced by 3. 

Against Flint: Strength Drain attack 7 Damage: 8 necrotic, and the target's Strength score is reduced by 1. 

Against Marav: Strength Drain attack 9 Damage: 10 necrotic, and the target's Strength score is reduced by 3. 

Against Angel: Strength Drain attack 11 Damage: 12 necrotic, and the target's Strength score is reduced by 3. 

Against Crownsguard: Strength Drain attack 5 Damage: 12 necrotic, and the target's Strength score is reduced by 1. 

Against Ink: Strength Drain attack 22 Damage: 7 necrotic, and the target's Strength score is reduced by 3. 

//Question! I did say that I was holding my action until they attacked, may I attack the shadow targeting me before it has a chance to attack?//

The shadowy demon hisses something that you can all hear in your minds, in the Abyssal language. He extends a clawed hand towards Ink.

// Players up! //

// Sorry about the pink flag...I went back and added 1d4 rolls to all the attacks, just to make things easy. Your Strength is only reduced if the attack hit you. The following numbers are correct. //

//Gah, foiled by my own wording. Crownsguard will have to deal with a -2 to his attacks and damage.//

Crownsguard, as the creature seems to consume a fraction of his inner light, swings his hammer in retaliation, “Please, do not consume light. I require that if I am to function. Thank you for your compliance. I will eliminate you now.”  Attack: 21 Damage: 3 bludgeoning damage + 1st Level Smite if it hits: 22 radiant damage!

If the creature is dead, Crownsguard and Horse will charge toward the shadow demon, “Fiendish presence located. Chaotic abberation is to be annihilated.” And Crownsguard will swing his hammer down toward it, Attack: 22 Damage: 4 bludgeoning damage, 2nd attack, Attack: 15 Damage: 2 bludgeoning damage. If either of those hit, Crownsguard will 2nd Level Divine Smite on one: 14 radiant damage.

Edit: That’s actually a d4 on the reaction, so 4+1 Bludgeoning.

Additionally, he’ll cast Shield of Faith on himself.

The first shadow is smited into oblivion by Crownsguard's attack, but the sinister demonic shadow dodges both of the construct's blows.

Hunters Mark Concentration: 3

Marav is stumbled by his hit. He shakes his head, starts to reach for his sword and then grins a fangy grin. He turns to the shadow on his right and just swings his hand seemingly oblivious that his hand is empty. 

As his hand swings a fiery scimitar like blade shoots from his hand. 

Steele screechs and attacks the one nearest him.

Marav Attack: 23 Damage: 10
Steele Attack: 15 Damage: 5

//The spell is Flame Blade//

Flint casts spiritual weapon against the one Marav  attacked and sacred flame against the other one next to himself.
