Storm King's Thunder

Quote from jr_el_leon >>

// Just a mechanical head's up - if a creature is asleep, I believe they are incapacitated therefore advantage to attack and auto crit FROM MELEE ONLY... but attacking a creature who is asleep, will wake him up - therefore, maybe we should wait until Away tells us who is asleep before we attack. //

Hark moves in to attack Flint with his scimitar,

Attack: 23 Damage: 8
Attack: 15 Damage: 5

and then disengages to move away, putting some distance between them. He then gives a shrill whistle. 

Upon this signal, the giant rats spread out and try to bite you—

Ink: Attack: 21 Damage: 6
Ink: Attack: 23 Damage: 6
Seviari: Attack: 17 Damage: 3
Marav: Attack: 14 Damage: 3
Marav: Attack: 21 Damage: 3

And the goblin bodyguard who is still awake will attack Angel with her shortbow—Attack: 9 Damage: 6

// Players are up! You are being attacked en mass by the rats, while the goblins are trying to keep their distance. //

Beedo approaches Rip and shakes his shoulder. "Boss, you okay? You blind? Whas'wrong boss?"

//DM Question: Is picking up a person an action?//

Flint will ready an action. If Angel picks the girl up, Flint will be a lead blocker for him, he will jump over the sleeping rat to the space 2 squares SW  of him, hit the rat straight south of there with his Warhammer 14 for 7 and run past Seviari  and Ink giving Angel a clear path out.

If angel does not pick up the girl, Flint will dodge.

// Hopefully my cohorts will thin the ranks a bit before that happens :) //

//And if I can move without taking an AOO, I'd like to take a step back and stand next to rip - If I can't move without taking an AOO, I instead use my bonus action to go into my bladesong,//

Marav attacks the nearest awake rats with his short swords.
Attack: 19 Damage: 5
Attack: 10 Damage: 3

Sev attacks the nearest awake rats with his scimitar and rapier.
Attack: 24 Damage: 5
Attack: 18 Damage: 9

//On the off chance that either of them one shots one of the rats, they will move on to the next closest.//

//quick update on status: AC 20 (for next minute, then drops to 17), Adv on Dex(acro) checks), HP @ 8/21, spell atk +5, dex attk +6 to hit, +4 to dmg... saying all of this because my day is starting in a half hour and I won't be done until 8pm at the earliest tonight. //

//I thought Quill was with me, assuming he is, he'd do a flyby harassment of the rat to the north east of me so that i can get advantage on my next attack.//

Ink, bloodied, takes his chances on some attacks at the giant rats in reach...

// First attack is to the giant rat in the box to the NE from me, Scimitar Attack: 21 Damage: 5

//if he's still up, then I attack him again with my offhand, if the scimitar alone downs him, then apply to the rat immediately north of me, Rod Attack: 15 Damage: 6

//IF i survive into the next round, then...

Ink, counting his lucky stars, steadies himself with a second wind (bonus action HP addition of 5 ) and then disengages from the enemy in front of him so that he can move out into the main cavern and try to hit any remaining threats with his long bow always trying to keep a distance from enemies.

//I'm out of spells and bladesongs, so I could definitely use at least a short rest to recover my bladesongs and second winds, but at some point a long rest will definitely be necessary. Given his current status, Ink will try to avoid melee situations from here on out, preferring ranged attacks.  Sorry I can't be more involved for the rest of the day.)

//Marav is at 10hp
Sev is at 15hp

Just FYI (Trying to keep track of Sev's, I play on multiple computers so rely on DNDBeyond's HP tracker)//

// Will settle the effects of the last 3 turns shortly. There's gonna be some dead rats! //

"I'm not blind beedo, I just can't see in the dark" i'll bonus action sheath my spear sword now dubbed 'The Compensater' and use my action to light a candle from my entertainers pack

"Oh! Here boss," Beedo rifles through his pack and pulls out something with a clank. As you light your candle you reveal an unlit hooded lantern in his hand. He lights it and tries to hand it to you.

"..... should have remembered you had that" I'll blow out the candle and take the lamp "thanks Beedo!"

//I'll post what Angel does after I get a turn update. I've been waiting for my teammates to go to avoid taking to many AOO//

Seviari, Marav, and Ink work together to dispatch three of the rats; disebowling, skewerig, and beheading them in succession, fighting back-to-back before Rip and Beedo light the place up with a lantern. It dazzles your eyes for a moment, but in the lamplight you can now see three dead rats and two sleeping ones. 

Rip's readied action goes off, and he directs the spell at Hark (wisdom save: 17). 

// Just waiting now on Angel to act, and Flint has something readied for that occasion. // 

// Map is updated for darkvision & the lanter's 30-foot bright right (+30 ft dim light) from Rip's space: https://1drv.ms/i/s!ApsITI_KCIhsgd8_IIofBWjgjdQBzg //

Angel will shout "I'm taking the girl back to the rest of the villagers. I'll be back to help you guys as soon as I can."

Angel will pick the girl up and then move his remaining 20ft out of this alcove avoiding as many alive non-sleeping rats and goblins as possible. He will then use his action to dash further out and towards where he last saw the villagers. 

Hark issues order to the female goblin bodyguard next to him, and the goblin starts shaking the rats awake. While this is happening, Hark engages with Flint who had just flattened one of his rats and attacks viciously with his scimitar, angry at him for allowing his prisoner escape. 

Attacking Flint: 22 Damage: 7
Attacking Flint: 10 Damage: 6

Meanwhile, the two rats leap on their chosen targets, trying to take them down: 

vs Ink—Attack: 21 Damage: 6
vs Flint—Attack 17 Damage: 5
