Killilli’s Dragon Heist

Blast the one with cover, close is bad!

 Attack: 3 Damage: 14

((Forgot the bless, but...sigh. Ya.))

When she's able, Lyss will slip around and loose another arrow at the one that looked nearly done for.

Attack: 23 Damage: 9

If advantage, with sneak: Attack: 16 Damage: 2

Hiding/moving after shooting: 17

Was just waiting on Kerri and then the scarecrows so I’ll save this post for after

Kerri throws another sacred flame at the scarecrow just before it slips out of view.

Dex save 5 or 8 radiant damage

The scarecrow bursts into flames, slowly crumbling to ash before your eyes. After a matter of seconds all that is left is a charred heart. It beats twice, boiling blood spurting through the smoke before it lays motionless. 

You stand at the edge of the circular centre of the maze. Lyss popping out ready to fire but seeing nothing to shoot at. The stone tablet is in the middle and the other inanimate scarecrows have fallen in the fracas. Other than your entrance, there is only a charred passage through the fragile corn where Aimee accidentally blasted. It’s frayed and littered with arrows from your near misses. You know the other scarecrow ran through here and it looked pretty hurt. What do you do. (Initiative over)

Lyss will skewer the heard on an arrow and carry it back for the others to have a look (or Kerri to fully char it just to be sure).

((What direction did the fleeing scarecrow go in?))

"Suppose we need to finish that one that ran..., but maybe make sure that things are settled here?"

"We should blast everything to nothing here! Someone was definitely making these things! But we should go too! Blast then run then come back and blast some more!"

Aimee blasts the tablet a couple of times and then will follow Lyss.

Aimee reduces the stone to a pile of rubble as Lyss brings back the severed head. In the rubble you can see chunks of engraved stone with some sort of red markings over them that seem to be drawn on more recently. They are illegible after Aimee’s blasts. The head is split from arrows and charred from Lyss and Kerri”s magic. It seems to be a regular scarecrow head that would be made by farmers.

The Scarecrow ran through a hole in the maze which is open and inviting before you, your guess is that it’s somewhere in the maze, it didn’t seem smart enough to navigate out that quickly. How to find it, that’s the question.

"Aimee, Lyss," Kerri says, "please don't damage anything else."

((I meant heart, but misspelled it!)) 

"Not even that other one? Come on!"

(That makes more sense.)

The heart is blackened and charred. Although as you pick it up you notice that some of the black seems to be coming from inside the heart. 

As you step through the gap in the corn you are confronted by a winding maze of maize, each way you look seems to have endless paths.

If you plan to chase this scarecrow, how are you going about it? 

Lyss quickly pulls out the map, to see where things go from here.

Aimee pokes her head and gives a good hard listen for direction.

Perception:23

Kerri assists Lyss

Aimee can hear the familiar sound of shuffling alongside the sound of a pole hitting the floor. It’s coming from the other side of a corn wall and doesn’t seem particularly close.

Lyss and Aimee look over the map trying to find their location. (Make an intelligence check with advantage.)

Int: 21

Together you can find your rough location, two of the paths seem to lead to where Aimee can hear the sound. One leads to the exit, the other to a dead end but you can’t be exactly sure which path the scarecrow is on since they run parallel.

"Do you think it's running away, or you think we've got it cornered?"

"Running away seems more likely," Kerri agrees
