'Chuf.' A bolt flies from the mounted crossbow impaling one of the the yuan-ti. "That's great. Now if they will only stand still for the next few hours we might be able to do something about this," Ereina mutters as she scans the rest of the oncoming horde. With the forward members of the invading force still a little outside her range, she makes sure her bolts are within easy reach and sights on the front of the ladder crew once again. In her mind she pictures the line on the ground showing the range of her crossbow (160 ft). Her finger hovers over the release, waiting for them to step over.
Light Crossbow Attack: 6 Damage: 10
(OOC: To prevent hold ups I have rolled first attack, to be triggered when they are within range. Rolled with disadvantage. Aiming at the person carrying the front of the ladder.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ereina watches the flight of the bolt, making adjustments for her next shot. At this distance, wind and drop had a significant impact on accuracy. Still, the bolt that stays in the case is guaranteed not to hit. Quickly she reloads her crossbow and fires again.
Light Crossbow: Attack: 8 Damage: 7
(Still with disadvantage. Can you update us on distance after each round?)
Dek, just like Thalion, you hit one of the yuan-ti even from this considerable distance. You hear a pained yell as the bolt not only pierces his skin but burns it as well thanks to Arson’s fire. It seems to keep going though and continues on with its group.
Thalion from this distance you don’t see exactly what part of the body you hit only the spurt of blood that follows with it. The barbarian stumbles but carries on with its duty.
Having missed twice, Ereina felt a little frustrated. She Slipped her crossbow down onto the ground, raising a hand toward the oncoming forces. Muttering under her breath she watches until the group are about 120ft away, at which point she yells in anger thrusting out her arm as a beam of energy, crackling with blueish lightning hurtles from her hand toward them.
Eldritch Blast:11 (Completely wrong set up for the roll)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As the four of you, who are able to shoot from afar, ready your shots you see the ladder group get even closer. They’re about 120 feet away from you now. The mounted crossbow shoots again. 18 it hits over to the left side impaling another one of the Yuan-ti barbarians. You all shoot your next rounds of magic, bolts and arrows. Thalion you miss by quite a mark. Gideon your bolt also fails to hit by a margin. Dek seems to fair better though as his bolt pierces the one Thalion hit before and the snake man dies. You see the ladder group sag a little as their right side seems to buckle from the loss of manpower. Ereina your Eldritch blast hits one of the invaders on the left side of the group but it continues to run forward. 12 of the snake men still remain in the group headed to your location.
“Good job so far!” You all hear Galius pipes up as he observes your contributions. “You all did a number on them. But, at this rate some of them are still gonna make it. Get ready! Hopefully the other squads are doing just as well...” His voice seems to trail off, expecting the worse.
Farther out, back to the shoreline. You all hear the familiar but louder sound of boats landing roughly against the sand.
Spurred on by their success an whittling the snakemen down, Dek loads another arrow. After setting it alight with Arson's flame, he takes aim and fires.

You let loose an arrow Thalion and miraculously hit one of the barbarians. Roll for damage.
Taking careful aim at the group and not any single invader, Gideon shoots:
Attack: 13 Damage: 7

Ereina you shoot your light crossbow. However, from this distance it’s hard for you to accurately aim. Your bolt misses.
Gideon you loose your arrow with strength but not with accuracy. The arrow lands closer to your side of the wall than the group of barbarians.
Ereina watches the flight of the bolt, making adjustments for her next shot. At this distance, wind and drop had a significant impact on accuracy. Still, the bolt that stays in the case is guaranteed not to hit. Quickly she reloads her crossbow and fires again.

Lighting the tip of his crossbow bolt on fire using the flame in Arson's hand, Dek takes aim and fires at the incoming yuan-ti.

As soon as Thalion sees his arrow hit, he nocks another arrow. But this time he waits before firing away
Thalion from this distance you don’t see exactly what part of the body you hit only the spurt of blood that follows with it. The barbarian stumbles but carries on with its duty.
Arson will toss her fire at the ladder when it is 30 ft away. I have school, so I may not be here to do that.

Will try to post, but I have a busy schedule and have to attend to the real world.(Currently un-unavailable, whatever that means...)

*Sheeeeez this is from a long time ago... a lot has changed...*
((All good there might still be a bit of time before 30 feet happens))
Knocking another arrow and lighting it aflame once more, Dek takes another shot, this time aiming for the sails.
Light Crossbow: Attack:9 Damage:7
When Arson throws his flame, Dek will stop shooting and instead draw his rapier and get ready to push ladders off.

Gideon calmly loads another crossbow bolt, lights it from the handy fire, and looses.

Becoming more confident after hitting, Thalion pulls back on the string and let's another arrow loose on the same target
