Cailean Initiative: 21

Voyage Initiative: 4

Initiative Order: Cailean and Syvis, Rian, Nicholas, NPCs and Thodek, Drow, Voyage

There are two Drow standing about 10 feet away (Drow #1 and Drow #2).

Cailean and Syvis are up!

Anybody else before the drow in initiative order may also take their action just to make combat run smoother. (Ex: Rian, Nicholas, and Thodek may also take actions at this time).

"Tch, so much for remaining unnoticed until we get equipped," Cailean hisses. He utters a few words in druidic and curls the fingers of his left hand, conjuring a ball of fire within his grasp. He immediately hurls it at one of the drow.

Attack at Drow #1: Produce Flame Attack: 15 Damage: 3 Fire

Syvis slips out of sight behind Prince Derendil and Ront and takes a moment to scan the room for sharp, nimble weapons she can grab quickly.

Perception: 12

Bare hands against steel isn't exactly the best odds, and definitely not odds that Nicholas is will to take. Scanning the room he tries to keep the drow at bay while he looks for a weapon that he can equip himself with.

OOC: Nicholas will look for a weapon, what ever is close, with a preference for a ranged or finesse weapons.
Perception: 10 

Syvis and Nicholas: Looking around the room, you don’t see anything that could be used as a weapon other than a couple of chairs about 5 feet away. However, back behind the drow soldiers, you see a set of stairs that lead to some sort of room above the one you are in currently. 

Cailean: You hurl a small ball of flame at Drow #1 and it makes impact, causing the soldier to yelp in pain (-3hp). 

Rian and Thodek are up!

Rian lunges forward at Drow#1 and strikes him with a fist

Unarmed Strike: 7 Damage: 1

Thodek will clap his hand together with the sound of a hammer striking an anvil, releasing deadly energy at the drow already injured. He'll then try and skirt the side wall to help spread the group out in preparation for counter attack. 
Toll the Dead 6 dc 13 wis save

Rian: You rush towards Drow #1, but he is prepared and able to easily dodge the strike (Miss). 
(For the future, unarmed strike damage is 1+Strength Modifier, so 5 damage for Rian.)

Thodek: The noise rings through the drow’s head, racking his body with pain.

Wisdom Save: 17

Drow #1 screams in pain as you see him clutch his head (-6hp [Total: -9hp]).

 NPCs are up!

Derendil rushes forward to Drow #2, making two claw attacks, as he savagely tears into the soldier.

Attack: 21 Damage: 9

Attack: 19 Damage: 7

Drow #2 is able to dodge the first strike, but Derendil is to quick in his bestial rage, and the second claw catches him (-7hp).  

Eldeth also rushes forward easing her fists to attack Drow #2. 

Attack: 22 Damage: 2

Attack: 14 Damage: 1

However, the soldier nimbly dodges both strikes (Miss).

Jimjar attempts to flank Drow #1, also attacking with his fists. 

Attack: 18 Damage: 1

Attack: 22 Damage: 2

Sneak Attack: 12

But both strikes seem to bounce off the soldiers armor (Miss).

Lastly, Ront lumbers forward to attack Drow #1 with an unarmed strike.

Attack: 9 Damage: 5

He brutally smacks the side of the soldiers head as you see the drow crumple to the ground with blood trickling from his mouth (-5hp [Unconscious])

Shuushar stands protecting Stool as well as Topsy and Turvy while Sarith watches the entrance for danger coming from behind.

 Drow #2 is up!  A look of fear begins to show in his eyes as his fellow soldier falls to the onslaught of punches.

The Drow yells with fury as he makes a shortsword attack against Derendil.

Attack: 21 Damage: 4

Derendil knocks the weapon aside as he bares his teeth at the now cowering Drow soldier (Miss). 

Voyage is now up! Anyone who acted in the first round of initiative may also now take a second action. There is one injured Drow left (-7hp).

Unable to see any weapons that could be off use, Nicholas joins the fray and attacks the remaining drow with his fists.

Attack: 10 Damage:Unable to parse dice roll. 1

Voyage curses and yells at others. "Get upstairs! Get what you can. We need to move!"

Falling to one knee, she stares at the remaining Drow and tracing a rune into the air, she pushes a shimmery, blue-green burst of energy towards him.

Eldritch Blast: Attack: 10 Damage: 10

Rian slams the remaining drow, attempting to knock it out non-lethally. 

Attack: 13 Damage: 5

Syvis darts to the stairs and if she sees a stockpile of weapons will begin searching for her belongings (shortsword, shortbow, daggers, leather armor.......starting equipment is what she's looking for). If that requires investigation...

Investigation: 18

Cailean nods at Voyage, taking off up the stairs after Syvis to help find usable equipment for the group.

D20 roll if needed: 14 (If Investigation, it's a +0 so straight roll; if Perception, +4 to rolled result)

Syvis and Cailean: Both of your rush up the stairs to enter a small storage room that is filled to the brim with weapons and armor. Due to both of you having relatively high rolls, you know the contents of the armory:

• 6 chain shirts
• 6 suits of studded leather armor
• 6 shields
• 6 hand-crossbows
• 20 cases of crossbow bolts, each case containing 20 bolts
• 6 shortswords and 15 daggers
• 6 bags of caltrops (20 caltrops per bag)
• 4 100-foot-long coils of silk rope
• 2 building hammers (not usable as weapons)
• 2 bags of iron spikes (10 spikes per bag)
• 2 sets of chain mail armor
• 2 Longswords
• 2 Warhammers
• 2 suits of leather armor
• 1 pistol with 20 bullets
• 2 light crossbows
• 20 torches

Nicholas, Voyage, and Rian: Unfortunately, in his adrenaline filled rage, the drow soldier is able to dodge the eldritch blast while also blocking both punches (Miss).

Thodek is up!

Thodek repeats his gesture and lets loose another blast of necrotic energy. 
Toll the dead: dc 13 wis save 11

If it is still standing, he'll try to circle it to give someone an opening (flanking).

Thodek: Wisdom Save: 16

Similarly to earlier, the drow’s body begins to shake uncontrollably as necrotic energy pulses through his blood (-2hp [Total: -9hp])

 NPCs are up!

Derendil turns to Drow #1, raking his claws against the soldiers chest.

Attack: 22 Damage: 4

Attack: 11 Damage: 8

Blood spurts everywhere as the drow gives out one final cry of pain (-13hp [Dead]).

  And with that, combat is over! You are all standing in this small room with 2 Drow (one unconscious and the other dead).

What would you like to do? 

Rian will enter the armory. He takes a shield and a longsword, and also dons a set of chain mail armor. He’ll take a few torches and a coil of hempen rope.

”Much better. Now, let’s get out of here.”

Syvis rushes back down the stairs with a bolt already cocked in her crossbow and stops to survey the scene. Quietly as always, she says, "Well done, everyone. The 15 of us managed to overcome the two guards with relative ease. I trust there are no grievous wounds...other than those to our expired friends, there?" She nods and motions at the dead guards with her crossbow. "The armory is just up these stairs and is well-stocked." She turns to walk back up the stairs.

Once everyone makes it upstairs, she begins again, still in her flat monotone, "After taking in a bit more of our surroundings on our way here (and noting the webs below), I believe moving as one group is most logical rather than a few infiltrating the consort's quarters and returning. With the added urgency of what appears to be a demonic invasion, fewer trips back and forth out in the open may be the more expedient choice."
