Lost Mine of Phandelver Adventure Thread - DM Jynne

Sheyla is a little frazzled.  This is really the most difficult thing she has ever been apart of.  She takes a quiet moment to breath and then says "yesets continue."

Stealth 14

Noting the party moving up towards the steps, Loren ducks down and scuttles silently over to join them, peeking ahead when possible. 

Stealth: 9

Perception: 19

Aaaand halfling luck!

stealth reroll: 15

That's better.

Sacks and crates of looted provisions are piled up in the south end of this large cave. To the west, the floor slopes toward a narrow opening that descends into darkness. A larger opening leads north down a set of natural stone steps where you are with the roar of falling water echoing from behind you. In the middle of the cavern, the coals of a large fire smolder.  You see a large Bugbear  and a wolf toward the center of the room near the fire.  A couple of goblins are near the supplies.  The wolf grumbles and starts towards the stairs sniffing. 

Velshir thinks to himself, Ah, that must be the bugbear. And here comes the wolf, it senses us.

Not sure what the best thing to do is, but recognizing that things are unfolding rapidly, he tenses, ready to strike the wolf if it comes close enough.

(ready melee attack if enemy comes within range. If initiative is rolled then Velshir would like to do something else)

By the wolf's movement you expect that he will eventually notice you, he seems to have caught your scent.  The squares on the map are 5 foot square, he is within 5 feet presently of the first person on the steps.  What are your present positions?  The goblins in the room have bows and their scimitars, the bugbear carries a javelin and a morning star.  

Velshir in front. If Velshir is able to discern this unfolding of events, he’d like to strike while the element of surprise is on his side, if possible. He would attack the wolf first.

initiative 18

unarmed strike Attack: 22 Damage: 8

bonus action second attack Attack: 21 Damage: 6

Velshir may also want to use his move, depending on what’s going on

Everyone please roll initiative.  Velshir is able to attack with surprise and slays the wolf swiftly before its able to react.  

Roll initiatives.  Bugbear 11 G1 21 G2 5  

The bugbear growls - “Klarg will build a throne from your bones, puny ones!”  The large wolf staggers and collapses dead.  The two goblins grab their short bows and aim from the southern portion of the cavern.  

Sheyla would be towards the back.

Initiative 3

Velshir will use his movement on the surprise round to charge the goblins.

On his next turn, he will attack a goblin with an unarmed strike

Attack: 11 Damage: 6

he will try to hit it again with his bonus action 

Attack: 7 Damage: 8

he will use his inspiration to try to hit that goblin! To hit:

20

He will then position himself so that he is in between a bow-wielding goblin and the southern end of the cave where his allies are

Current initiatives : Velshir 18 (suprise attack defeated the wolf and is able to move into the room ahead of the group), G2 12, BB 11, G1 11, Sheyla 3. 

Is Sheyla staying out of view or just behind?

Initiative: 12

Initiative: 13

Following closely behind Velshir as he defeats the evil creatures' canine guard, Iymbryl runs around from behind him and rushes the large bugbear. "Look to your own bones furry." He proclaims as he engages the monster in a duel. Shield up he slashes around it.

Attack: 9 Damage: 12

Joshua would be just in front of Sheyla

Initiative21

Sheyla would stay out if view if it was very hostile.  She would wait until everyone else was set and then try to pick off the most injured.

Initiative: 19

Unthir will shout "GODS!" into his fist in exasperation.

Joshua 21, Unthir 19, Velshir 18, Lymbryl 13, Loren 12, G2 12, BB 11, G1 11, Sheyla 3. 

Joshua's Fire bolt flies true and strikes the bugbear hard and burns where its hit, but he absorbs the impact and snarls. 

Unthir follows this with an arrow into the chest of the beast angering him further.  

Velshir's inspirational strike hits true - @velshir roll damage 

Oops

damage: 5

After quickly snapping the wolf’s neck, Velshir closes ranks with the goblins, trusting in his quickness to keep him safe and hoping to draw their attacks or otherwise foul their ability to shoot at the group. He does this silently, a grim look of determination on his face.
