Killilli’s Dragon Heist

Round 1

Initiative Order 

• Kerri
• Scarecrow
• Lyss
• Aimee

(So we’ll get one more round from Kerri, then scarecrow and then you guys can post at will for ‘player round’)

(Also, gave the scarecrow a plus 5 to passive perception to spot Lyss since she’s not specifically hiding from the scarecrow’s direction. She passed so yes to being hidden but no surprise round because you guys diverted your attention towards the cottage. Sound fair? With a more intelligent or perceptive foe they may have spotted you.)

Kerri is the first to spot the shambling sack of hay as it tumbles out of the maze. As it comes towards her and Aimee, oblivious to Lyss hiding by the cottage, a bright light erupts before it. (Dex Save 2) And Kerri’s holy flame engulfs the scarecrow, scorching it slightly. 

The scarecrow continues towards the pair mindlessly. As it gets within 30 feet it glares at Kerri, it’s dead eyes as dark as the abyss. (Wis Save please)

With it’s eyes locked onto Kerri, the scarecrow pays absolutely no attention as a crossbow bolt flies through its chest, only breaking eye contact when Aimee’s blast to the face has it reeling back, waving it’s straw arms manically.

Wisdom Save: 15

I'm going to add my Favor of the Gods feature here now, because i'm not sure if that's enough for a success or not 5

if the initial roll succeeded, let me know and i wont mark if off, if it didn't, let me know and i'll mark it off

((I hope this all made sense XD))

Kerri, as you peer into the scarecrows eyes, you steel yourself, feeling no fear.

(you passed without your favour of the gods - your turn again now)

Kerri furrows her brow at the scarecrow and swings an arm up at it and releases a radiant bolt of energy.

Action: Cast Guiding Bolt
Attack: 18 Damage: 14

The scarecrow stumbles as it recovers from Aimees blast, but just as it rights itself Kerri’s bolt of light pierces through its chest leaving a wide circular hole. The Scarecrow lumbers towards Kerri swinging wildly at her with its straw arms, the tips of straw forming into sharp claws. 

Attack: 23 Damage: 11

Attack: 16 Damage: 6 

On a hit make a Wis Save

PCs up

Lyss ducks back, emerging from somewhere unexpected to loose again with her short bow.

Attack: 18 Damage: 16

((Rolled with advantage if she can get it, but sneak triggers on a hit from an ally being close is she can't but still hits.))

Aimee runs to the side and back to get a clear shot,

"Woooo! Great shot!"

Attack: 18 Damage: 6

Round 3

Lyss’s arrow strikes the scarecrow, though again, it doesn’t seem to bother it too much. As it towers over Kerri, it is struck by Aimee’s blast, yowling in pain. The scarecrow looks pretty worn down, hay pouring out of it’s chest. The light of a torchflickers on in the cottage window as you battle.

Initiative reminder

• Kerri
• Scarecrow
• Lyss
• Aimee

Kerri, pls make a Wis save throw

((By not bothering it too much, is it still bothering it some?))

(Yes, still bothering it somewhat. Also, you had advantage from hiding and also from the guiding bolt)

((Oops sorry forgot about the save))

WIS Save: 14

((Ah, if I'd have had it from guiding bolt, could I have fired, then used bonus action to hide at end of turn instead of beginning? Stealth if so: 8))

(Yes, you were already hidden from end of last round anyway though, so it was advantage either way, you wont be hidden next round though, that was not a great roll lol.)

Kerri,  the smell rotting flesh fills your nostrils. It’s hideous, and would shake the nerves of the bravest warrior, but your faith in yourself and Mystra holds out. (No effect)

It’s top of the round, so Kerri’s turn, she is directly in front of the scarecrow, with Aimee a little way back and to the side (say 15ft?) and The top of Lyss’s head is poking out from behind the cottage a little way behind the scarecrow.

((Yeah, Lyss ducks back, but then can't resist popping her head out to peek...))

Kerri bringa down more flames on the scarecrow

Casting Sacred Flame again: Dex save 14 or take 5

Fake roll to force the other to pop up: 3

The Scarecrow howls a sickening squeal as flames lick at it. It turns and shambles back towards the maze.

Action - dash towards the maze (AoO from Kerri if holding a weapon) 

players up

Lyss pops out and fires on the running scarecrow.

Attack: 10 Damage: 10

Lyss, your arrow flies just behind the scarecrow as you underestimate it’s speed

"He's pretty fast for stick-legs!"

She hurries after him.

"Yeah!"

Aimee blasts and follows after the scarecrow.

 Attack: 7 Damage: 11
