20 Benita. Benita’s quick eye takes in the milieu but she’s distracted and her heart isn’t in it.
19 Dolkum. Intimidation works on Benita, forcing her to regain her focus. Her lips purse and she salutes Dolkum with her rapier.
17 Varielky. Varielky wants to test Ednyss but chooses to test the new one first. She runs towards Dolkum and swings her sword at him. Then, she tried to surprise him with a shield bash to knock him prone. Attack: 7 Damage: 8 MISS / Athletics for Bash: 10. Dolkum - roll Athletics save vs DC10 or be knocked prone.
9 Ednyss. Swings his new War Pick in a feint towards Varielky before spinning it in his hands and slamming her with the blunt end of the pick (Attack vs. Varielky: 13 HIT. Damage: 7). After swinging he turns and calls to his partner, "Stop standing there and start sparring! This is sparring practice not taunting practice!"
1 Mittens takes a tentative leap in his new boots and accidentally springs 30’, landing right between Ednyss, Dolkum & Varielky, all retreat 5’ to avoid accidentally hitting him. Ednyss loses his footing over a tree root (OOC: descriptive) and is now in difficult terrain.
Please make any needed saves, post RP for Round 1 results, and post Round 2 actions in a spoiler.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Even though it was the blunt end, the war pick still hurt. It reminded Varielky that she's not wearing any armour so she'll have to be extra careful.
When Mittens lands in the middle, Varielky jumps back so he doesn't land on her. "Tiny warrior! You shouldn't jump here! We may be stopping short but if you suddenly appear between us you can still get hurt." Then, she turns to Ednyss. "Well fainted. I forgot I'm not protected, I should be more careful. Benita! Come help me! I might not be able to deal with both of them without any armour on! My shield can only block so much!"
Round 2:
Plan A:
Varielky waits for Mittens to leave the area then moves to the spot where he was standing where both Dolkum and Ednyss should be in range. (I3 or any other viable spot if their poaitions change.) She then makes another attack against Dolkum (which by now, I assume, got up) but uses the momentum of the attack for a spin that ends with a backhand shield shove on Ednyss, trying to push him further into the plants. Whether or not she succeeds, she ends in a defensive position, ready to block incoming attacks with her shield.
Attack: 23 Damage: 13
Athletics for shove: 12
Action Surge to take the Dodge (flavoured as block) action.
---
Plan B: If she cannot reach a place where both are within range, Varielky moves closer to Dolkum, still trying to test him. She makes an attack that should obviously hit his shield but in the last moment she stops in a defensive position. That's not all, however. She suddenly makes a quick attack, followed by a shield shove trying to knock him prone once more. After the shove, she's back into her defensive position.
Dodge, flavoured as block.
Action Surge Attack: 15 Damage: 7
Athletics for Bonus Action Shove: 7
--
Forgot to add: Either plan:
Riposte manoeuvre if someone misses her for an attack.
Attack: 9 Damage: 13 should be +1d8 damage but it'll miss anyhow, I guess.
Ednyss pops Varielky in the shoulder with his War Pick and steadies himself for a second attack when a black cat comes careening in and Ednyss leaps backwards. He stumbles backwards and trips over a root. Picking himself up quickly, he says to Mittens, "I thought you said you didn't want to spar?" Ednyss chuckles at the cat and shakes his head, but to himself he thinks that it's better that this happen now than when there are real stakes.
Insight: 15 (To notice that Benita has regained her focus)
If Varielky has not moved, or is still within a distance that Ednyss can reach her, Ednyss will slide around Mittens to get in front of her and swing out with his War Pick against Varielky again. (Attack: 16 Damage: 11) If Varielky has moved and Ednyss cannot reach her, then Ednyss simply moves in front of wherever she is (or as close as he can) and says, "Let's see some of those new tricks then."

Deftly stepping to the side, she rotates left, forcing the shield aside, and then launches at Ednyss with wide circular motions of her scimitar and dagger!

(OOC: Benita's (and Varielky's) attacks would have disadvantage, but it wouldn't matter because both of Benita's miss anyways...)
Ednyss:
Ednyss turns to Benita again and feints with his War Pick before commanding his spectral shield to slam down at Benita again (Attack: 14 Damage: 8). After having the shield attack, he channels some more divine energy and compels Benita to drop to the ground with the word, "Fall." (Wisdom Save DC 15 - On a failure, she spends her turn dropping prone and doing nothing else). If Varielky manages to take Dolkum down on her turn, instead of targeting Benita with the divine command, he will target Varielky.

Mittens scurries out of the midst of combat. When he deems himself to be at a safe distance, he tries out a few small hops, deliberately trying to avoid careening back into combat.
"I thought we're sparring with weapons, not magic!"
(Oof. I want to use Menacing Attack and can flavour it to make sense but there's no way you two with that high wisdom of yours will ever fail this check. Besides, this battle seems to be getting to an end.)
Round 3:
Varielky moves into the space left where Mittens stood earlier (I3). Seeing Ednyss using Takal Demesh's powers against her fills her with determination to win. She has to prove her belief is stronger. She lets out a loud roar and makes an attack at Ednyss with full strength. She stops short at the very last second, but until then it would have looked like she's actually trying to kill him this time. If Ednyss wasn't sharp, it's possible he'd be frightened for just a moment, but that might be enough for her.
(In case that Ednyss is down on her turn, she'll do the same but target Dolkum.)
Second Wind heals for: 12 Menacing Attack: 24 Damage: 17. On a hit, if he's not down, Ednyss has to make a DC 13 Wis saving throw or be Frightened until the end of Varielky's next turn.
Reaction:
After attacking, Varielky is ready to block with her shield, though not as ready as before (no dodge, just flavour). If she manages to block an attack, she'll retaliate with a low swing of her sword. Attack: 14 Damage: 14 (Riposte).
Now noticed the attack should be made with disadvantage. Sad. Second roll: 24
