Storm King's Thunder

// You can make your attack of opportunity against the demon if you like or the shadow that ran away from you. //

OOC: I’ll take the demon! It’s really bugging Crownsguard

Crownsguard, seeing the demon run, swings his hammer into its back, Attack: 7 Damage: 2 bludgeoning, but can’t seem to get it. “Chaos anathema. Cease your resistance. Your existence is treated as a mortal threat. You will be terminated with extreme prejudice.”

Meanwhile, for his turn, Crownsguard will swing his hammer into the skeleton in front of him, “Stand down, undead. I will eliminate the chaos anathema.” Attack: 7 Damage: 2 bludgeoning damage. You are kidding me. Again. Attack: 12 Damage: 3 bludgeoning damage.

Ink and Crownsguard both take swings at the shadow demon, but they are largely ineffective. 

Ink and Angel work in concert to take down two skeletons, including the one who had been attacking Crownsguard. 

// Crownsguard would you like to redirect your attacks to the nearest zombie? //

//That I would//

Crownsguard's second strike hits the zombie but is ignored...the undead creature just moans and lurches forward!

// Will get a turn up asap //

//Forgot my concentration check:

Concentration: 8

WTF is with these crap rolls... and with that Flame Blade drops.

The zombies and skeletons begin to crowd around you, pushing in and firing arrows from their high positions (just a reminder, you have half cover as long as you remain in the treeline). As they do, you hear the familiar cackling laugh from on high—it's the flameskull, glowing with green fire. His form is blurred, shifting and wavering, and is hard to track! (any attacks against it have disadvantage unless you have the ability to see through illusions)

Rip's spiritual weapon flies over to aide Marav striking the Zombie 10 for 5

Rip himself goes south to flank the skeleton with Angel? Ink? eh whoever Rip-ier 16 15 for 8

- Ink - 

Ink casts Flaming Sphere dropping it between the two undead directly south of Crowsguard! // See red box added in map. //  He then centers himself for a second wind (ba) recovering a bit from the wounds the shadow gave him ( 7 hp ).

//  DM Question - Can Ink see the Flame Skull?  //

- Quill - 

Quill shoots straight up from her perch, about twenty feet or so, to get a better look around at what is coming at the party, before diving back down to another perch in the relative safety of the forest's canopy. // Perception 22  //

- Angel -

Angel, using his quarter staff with two hands, attacks the undead directly to his west being flanked by Rip, and then will just continue going down the line (west to east) as they fall, trying to knock down as many as he can eventually using his flurry of blows (ba/1 ki point) in the form of a couple of (hopefully) well-placed kicks!

//  Quarterstaff (2H) Attack 1: 21 Bludgeoning Damage: 11

// Quarterstaff (2H) 2 Attack: 18 Bludgeoning Damage: 9

// Flurry of Blows (ua) Attack 1: 20 Bludgeoning Damage: 6

// Flurry of Blows (ua) Attack 2: 19 Bludgeoning Damage: 8

// If Angel clears enough foes so that he can move without incurring an AOO, he will do so. Specifically just north of Crownsguard between CG and Flint. //

Rip's spiritual weapon strikes at the zombie, and together Rip and Angel easily take down the skeleton between them. Angel then single-handedly takes down first zombie with his flurry of blows, taking the zombie's head off with his last kick. Angel can tell that zombies are made of sterner stuff than the skeletons and are not as susceptible to his attacks, but they still fall all the same if you pump enough damage into them.  

The flameskull is plainly audible even above the din of battle, and easy enough to locate if one looks in its direction. 

For her perch above the trees, Quill can see the entire top of the Keep and much of the battlefield, and Ink can sense her wariness and warning.  

 Marav signals for Steele to disengage and move.

Marav slams his hands together casting Thunderwave.

//Thunderwave 2nd level//

Damage: 14

Con Save of 13 otherwise pushed. :) Once they roll their saves I want to move.

//Sorry can't get the map to load today//

Keeping near his allies and within the cover of the woods flint attacks nearby enemies, preferring flank and cleave opportunities if possible.

Blessed hammer: 23 for 10 flank 24

Spirit hammer: 11 for 6 flank 12

The zombie and the two approaching skeletons overcome the powerful thunderwave, resisting its force, but the skeleton in front of Marav is decimated by the magic. 

Flint flanks destroys a skeleton with his magical hammer, cleaving clean through it to strike the zombie next to him. The zombie fairs better than the skeleton, but only just so. He is now at the edge of the treeline, to Crownsguard's east.

Marav moves up to the group.

//I know I get hit by an AOO

Zombie opportunity attack on Marav: 11 Damage 6 bludgeoning

Preparing for an onslaught, Crownsguard will swing his hammer toward the zombie that he struck, “Please stay down. We are trying to plan. Thank you for your compliance.” Attack: 23 Damage: 7 bludgeoning damage and swings toward the skeleton with his next, “You as well.” Attack: 10 Damage: 2 bludgeoning damage.

With the undead pressing around him, Crownsguard seems to be having trouble landing hits—and when he does, the damage caused is negligible. 

The undead creatures press in around you...

Angel takes 4 damage

Flint takes 6 damage

The zombies also try and pull Crownsguard off of Horse, requiring a DC 16 Strength check to resist. 

Meanwhile, the Flameskull zooms overhead among the trees, (30 feet high) and launches two burning rays towards Ink while cackling. "Burn! Burn! Ahahaha!"  

Fire Ray Attack: 10 Damage: 10 fire
Fire Ray Attack: 12 Damage: 11 fire

The undead hordes continue to encroach...

// Players up!

Marav brings his hands up and slams them down causing a thunderwave to surround him pushing back the undead around him.

//Casting Thunderwave at level 2. Damage: 12 Constitution Save or pushed 10 feet away.//

//Edited: map apparently stopped updating when I went to move I got an error, when I reloaded I was surrounded so changed my turn a bit.//
