Storm King's Thunder

Quote from DarthAvarice >>

Flint yells to the captain "SET 'ER DOWN!" Then with his shield in front of them leaps over the rail to help Ink. He activates his immovable rod a few times on the way down to slow his descent.

 // Flint go ahead and make a Strength check to descend using the immovable rod. Success = descent at full speed. //

As Dontontion and Crownsguard engage the giant crows aboard the ship, the crows strike with readied actions against their attackers:

Attacking Don: 14 Damage: 10

Attacking Crownsguard: 16 Damage: 14

(Attack with advantage against Don 18 and Crownsguard 15)

Matrix falls dramatically from the airship, landing with inhuman grace on top of the barbarian 50 feet below him. The barbarians crumples wordlessly, leaving Matrix only standing there, unharmed.

Don’s attack against the raven wounds it badly, but the bird is dauntless as a mount. It strikes back against its attacker with beak and talon, as does the other one against Crownsguard. 

Ink’s firebolt grazes the barbarian warrior, who is already on the move towards the new interloper, Matrix. 

The remaining barbarians fight fiercely, two from atop their ravens and two on the ground, who run to flank Matrix with their spears.

Attacks Against Don...

Talon Attack: 16 Damage: 7 slashing

Beak Attack: 23 Damage: 6 piercing

Spear Attack: 18 Damage: 7 piercing 

Attacks Against Crownsguard...

Talon Attack: 18 Damage: 12 slashing

Beak Attack: 22 Damage: 7 piercing

Spear Attack: 26 Damage: 10 piercing

Attacks Against Matrix...

Spear Attack: 20 Damage: 8 piercing

Spear Attack: 11 Damage: 7 piercing

Hellish Rebuke on the one that attacked me: 11

Don takes the hit and turn and screams, "You dare!?!?" hellfire leaps around the raven.

Strength: 7

 Str: 15 (add 3 if I get to use athletics)

Don’s hellish rebuke burns the raven severely, but it keeps fighting faithfully under its rider.

Flint makes it to the ground through a series of controlled falls, using his superior strength and the immovable rod. 

Don turns to attack the other Raven.

"Keep it up Edgar, help with the other one.!" Edgar continues to help.

I liked the green flame, think I will do it again.

Short Sword Attack: 26 Damage: 8

Green flames run up the length of the blade and onto the raven, then suddenly leap to the other raven.

Damage: 4
Damage 2: 6
Sneak Attack Damage: 3

Don then disengages and moves back 30 feet. 

Seeing Matrix flanked, Ink rushes up to the one at Matrix's back. Just before he reaches the barbarian, Quill flies in and tugs at the barbarian's hair, momentarily distracting him. Ink squares off against him and takes three swipes with his scimitars!

/ First Attack: 14 Damage: 10, Off Hand Attack: 20 Damage: 10, Second Attack: 22 Damage: 9

Matrix locks eyes with the one that rolled a 1 on dmg "Do you even know how to use that thing?" He then casually shoots him in the stomach, punches the wound then winds back like he is going to punch him again but just extends his fist into the other guys face 5th element style.

Shot 22 for 10

Flurry of blows!

punch 120 for 5

punch 218 for 8

Ink and Matrix finish off the two remaining warriors on the ground with style. 

Up on the ship, Don uses his eldritch magic to immolate both giant ravens, who die in pain. Their riders manage to escape the flames, and both stand at the opposing corners of the stern, looking quite worried at having just lost their mounts. 

// CG and Flint are up! //

// oh, thought there were 3 //

Quite satisfied with his shield, Flint moves to find an angle where he can target one of the Ravens on the ship. 

guiding bolt  24 for 11

// Flint can redirect his guiding bolt to the raven in the sky, or towards the closest barbarian on board the ship. //

Current enemy count: 

2 human warriors onboard the ship

1 raven in the sky

He'll target the barbarian

The barbarian nearest to Crownsguard is hit by Flint’s guiding bolt, which briefly illuminates his body with radiant light. The barbarian doubles over in pain, as if he’s about to be sick.  

Crownsguard, with a few more peck dents than before, marches over to the barbarian that is currently doubled over, and slams the bone over his back, Attack: 26 Damage: 11 bludgeoning damage and throw in a 1st level smite: 9 radiant damage. If he’s still standing, once more! Attack: 12 Damage: 10 Oh well...

Crownsguard splats the barbarian with the dragonbone club. There is an audible crunch as his spine shatters.

The remaining barbarian disengages and launches himself off the ship as the last raven swoops in to catch him and carry him to safety. The two begin to climb into the sky away from the airship.

// Everyone can make a free Perception check. //

Crownsguard splats the barbarian with the dragonbone club. There is an audible crunch as his spine shatters.

 Ink winces as he hears the cracking of bones. 

He then comments to Matrix, "You know hearing those bones reminded me of something - you think those thunderbeasts are still running away from us?" 

Ink sees the raven rider jump for the raven... 

/ Perception 8 

Perception: 7

You (Flint and Ink) hear a muted thundering sound, as if large footfalls are coming towards you. It could be more of something you feel deep in your chest.
