The Long Arm of Lauto 1: Algarezh Hoofchew

Explorer
Round 2, continued

Balth fires two arrows, one missing the guard by a hair's breath, and the other deflected at the last moment by the bar. (ooc: the 21 misses due to cover. The 19 just misses.)

Larinza sags from the poison, but screams defiance at the guards and directs a vicious cut at the one. He blocks it, but the sight fills nearby allies with vigor. (ooc: Larinza takes 5 poison damage, gains 11 from inspiring word, and misses. Everyone except Larinza, Les, and Merenwen gets 8 temp HP. Larinza fails both saves.)

Vashik moves closer and fires another stream of silver arrows of force into a guard. (ooc: I applied the damage to G2. I put you in X13, since Balth is in Y13. You can change that if you prefer to be elsewhere.)

The stairs tremble as the third guard charges down the stairs and nails Balth with a mighty swing of his flail. (ooc: G3 charges Balth, crit for 14 damage. Balth is marked and slowed.)

Hoofchew takes more damage from the nearby flaming sphere, but shakes off most of it. He turns his evil eye on Raiyek, making his shield arm tremble with fear, but giving Raiyek a brief opening to strike. He then attacks Raiyek with a vicious spear thrust, opening a bloody gash on the paladin's ribs. (ooc: Hoofchew recharges SAoD, and takes 3 fire damage. Eye of wrath Roll Lookup, Raiyek gets an OA but takes -4 penalty to AC, save ends. Spear thrust hits, Raiyek takes 8 damage.)

A guard gets scorched by Cross' flaming sphere also, but the flames seem reluctant to touch his skin, too. (enemies near Hoofchew also have resist 5 fire. G2 takes 4 fire damage.)
The guards flanking Larinza both attack her again. Kruk's interrupting strike manages to interfere enough to cause one to miss, but the other connects solidly. (ooc: G1 and G2 attack Larinza. G2 hits for 13 damage, but G1 misses due to Kruk's mark. Kruk gets an OA on G1)

Kruk acts next...

(ooc: and I need OAs from Raiyek and Kruk)

ooc: Yeah, it's not the best map I've ever used. But it's quite decent for very low effort, and part of my purpose with this adventure is to demonstrate low-effort DMing, in the hopes of recruiting more DMs.

Kruk sees his chance to attack G1 as G1 attacks Larinza.

[sblock=ooc]
OA attack roll 1d20+7+2 (combat superiority wis mod) = 14

if it hits
damage 1d12+4 = 14
[/sblock]

With a sudden surge of energy Kruk attacks G1 again with the attemped to split armor and bone "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!" Kruk screams as he brings his axe down apon G1

[sblock=ooc]
brute strike attack roll = 1D20+7 = 11

if this hits, which I doubt
damage 3D12+4 = 28
[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]
Am I allowed to use my healing skill during combat on larinza as a minor action?

If so, here is my attempt.

healing skill attempt 1D20+7 = 16

As the vile shaman attempts to strike fear into Raiyek's heart, he lets his guard down for a moment. As the orc's eyes seem to bore into him, Raiyek tries to stab the orc but cannot tear his eyes away from the shaman's eyes. As the thrust goes wide, Raiyek lets out a yell in frustration.
[sblock=Opportunity Attack]OA on Hoofchew: 1d20+6=8 vs. AC, 1d8+3=9.

Well. IC hates me too, apparently. I have yet to hit with an attack in this fight...[/sblock]

Round 2, continued

Raiyek and Kruk both fail to take advantage of their openings. Kruk goes on to scream wildly and miss his foe again with another powerful blow. (ooc: all misses. Brutal strike is not expended. See next post for heal skill use comments.)

Vashik feels a sharp pain in his neck and looks up to see the sniper in the balcony smiling an evil grin. The sniper then drops prone. (ooc: Vashik is hit, takes 1 damage and 5 ongoing poison damage (save ends). There's a range penalty I forgot to include in that roll, but it still hits easily.)

About healing this time!

ooc: So, yeah, the Heal skill can be used to allow an adjacent ally to use their second wind or make a save out of turn, but it takes a standard action. See PHB p.185. Annoyingly, I can't find anything about whether or not that provokes an OA, so I'd have to conclude that it doesn't, which I find highly weird.
 

Moon_Goddess

Have I really been on this site for over 20 years!
ooc: what's the rules for 0hp, cuz I've got 5hp and at the start of my turn before I can do anything I'm gonna take 5.... I think I'm dead.
