Brand takes a swipe at Twig A, hoping to cleave the little devil in half. (Attack: 10 for 5). Taking a more precautious approach, Brand keeps his dagger close to keep the woody claws at bay.

((I assume since Brand just went it's Skritch's turn?))

Seeing his magics crumble the first Twig Blight, and assuming that Brand will easily handle the one on him with his physical prowess, Skritch turns his attentions towards the shambling stick-man across the field near the red wood (Blight F). Shifting to the other side of Brand for a clear shot, Skritch unleashes an Eldritch Blast in the shape of swirling razor sharp leaves, glowing with mystical energy, towards the oncoming Blight.

Attack vs. AC: 5, 3 force damage.

(Jiron hasn't gone yet, but you guys are fine to post your turn. If Jiron kills something you are aiming for, I will try to adjust however seems best for you all.)

Jiron shifts his position to the right, shifting his aim to the remaining stick monster next to his Tabaxi compatriot, and again pulls the trigger.

Attack: 24 Damage: 11

Bonus: Reload

HP-15/15

Bullets-38/40

Jiron's bullet hits center mass and annihilates the little bugger. It ceases to exist and traces of it are hard to see!

Brand swings again, but the Twig Blight nimbly ducks as Brand. It screeches at him as if laughing.

Skritch's spell manages to snipe and destroy the Twig Blight before it manages to even make a move.

Twig Blights D and E dash up to Skabb and Brand each. They seem ready and eager to attack!

The Red Sapling undulates and shivers. Brand hears a perverse thought enter his mind: Kill them all. Spill their blood for me. Brand is completely aware that this tree is apparently trying to spell him, but for some reason it does not work.

Skabb - 18 (<---- Your turn!)
A, B, C groups - 17
Jiron - 14 
Brand - 14
Skritch - 4
D, E, F groups - 2
Red Sapling - 1 (has joined the initiative!)

(Feel free to post your turns as you can, given that some of us seem to be busy atm!)

(I will also allow everyone a free History, Arcana, or Religion check on this tree. Whichever you have trained.)

Arcana: 18

Edit: Whoops, double posted somehow.

Skabb goes for a new swing at the last blight by his side, but sees it get blown to pieces by Jirons thundercannon. Right as he turns to thank him he sees another twig come running straight at him. Skabb grins, his pearly whites glistening and makes a swing at the blight, using it's own momentum against it. 

Attack: 10 DMG: 10


Religion check: 21

(History: 22)

Enraged at the twig and emboldened by the beckoning voice, Brand roars and tears into the nearest foe without regard for life or limb.

(Attack: 23 for 8. Bonus: 19 for 3.)

Seeing his friends finish off the last of the animated vegetation, Jiron focuses in on the tree, scouring his intellect for anything he might have found in his reading about something like this.

Arcana-25

Edit. Missed that A is probably still standing.

Jiron will rush back over to the other side of the clearing entrance and fire his weapon once more at the twig between Skritch and Brand.

Attack: 19 Damage: 6

OOC. Okay, do t know what's going on, but the attack roller didn't factor in my mods. It doesn't really matter, but that should be 7 to his and 9 damage.

With Brand dispatching the last of the troublesome twigs, Skritch moves north about thirty feet to get a sense of what sort of adversary this redwood may be.

((Skritch already failed his Arcana roll.))

With Brand and Skabb's efforts, the Twig Blights seem to be no more! However, there is still the matter of the tree. Brand manages to slay the one that screeched at him, while cleaving into the one that just joined the fray.

It shakes wildly and a low hum can be heard by you all. The red tree vibrates and shudders. It's movements, quite frankly, are creepy and possibly give you the heebie-jeebies! Red leaves fall from it's branches.

Looking at it now, Brand recognizes elements of this tree. In his travels, he has heard tales about the Gulthias Trees out in the world. Their colors are vivid and when Twig Blights are present, a Gulthias Tree is not far away. However, this sapling before him is not as grand or enormous as he's heard the full, proper trees are. Most of the tales he's heard involved Gulthias Trees eating folks alive or cults giving blood to help the tree grow. This one doesn't seem capable of growing a gaping maw as it's core is quite thin. Still, it's never wise to underestimate an enemy when you haven't fought one yourself. 

As you all look toward the tree, the reason why you've come here, it seems to shriek in a high pitched growl, but nothing seems to happen.

Skabb - 18 
Jiron - 14 
Brand - 14
Skritch - 4 (<---- Your turn!)
Gulthias Sapling - 1

(Please indicate what kind of damage you are doing, ie: slashing, force, etc. if you can. Thankies!)

(oops just saw Skritch's movement. Let me know if you still want to move to the tree knowing it is screaming like a banshee)

Having moved thirty feet to the north of the clearing, Skritch will unleash a vile Hex upon the flailing tree (choosing to give the monster disadvantage on....charisma checks?) before attacking it with an Eldritch Blast.

Attack vs. AC: 15, 6 force damage + 3 necrotic damage.

Skritch moves north and places a hex onto the tree. The kenku's eldritch blast soars from his hand and causes bark to fly from the sapling from the impact. However, it seems that the follow-up necrotic energies dissipated as soon as they touched the tree. 

The red sapling releases a shrill sound that echoes in this small clearing. As it does, Skritch can see that the mark he's just made on the tree seems to grow back. Not completely, but it would appear that his damage is slightly undone.

Everyone sees a few Twig Blights run toward the red tree. As they approach, they look around to find all of you. They seem eager to spill your blood.

Skabb - 18 (<---- Your turn!)
Jiron - 14 
Brand - 14
Twigs A, B, C - 5
Skritch - 4 
Gulthias Sapling - 1 (Total Damage Taken: 4. Conditions: Hexed w/ disadv CHA.)

Skabbs ears fold back as the tree wails throughout the woods. With a hiss he starts running towards the tree, axe at the ready. His axe glows with a dull greyish white colour as it goes for the base of the tree. 

Attack: 15 DMG: 5 (slashing) + 1st lvl Divine Smite if the attack connects 10 (radiant) (+ 8 radiant if its considered undead or a fiend)

Skabb cuts into the tree and a slick, white ooze pours down from the gash he left in the red sapling. The thing rubs branches together, causing a disturbing and strange skittering sound to hum over Skabb's head.

(Don't worry about rolling the extra die on these. They are considered plants. Evil. Evil plants.)

Skabb - 18 
Jiron - 14 (<---- Your turn!)
Brand - 14
Twigs A, B, C - 5
Skritch - 4 
Gulthias Sapling - 1 (Total Damage Taken: 22. Conditions: Hexed w/ disadv CHA.)

(BTW, if you guys ever want to take my map and put a BIG X on where you want to stand, I will make adjustments accordingly. It's just up to you, not a requirement.)

Jiron jumps as the seemingly inanimate tree they had come to harvest summons more minions, seeing Skabb run up to attack, Jiron takes it on himself to provide cover fire upon the new minions.

Attack: 11 Damage: 12 piercing to Twig Blight A

(that should be 17 and 12. DDB is still not calculating the mods)
