D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

"Oops! Missed again!"

Dandin winked at Andrik as he taunted the big buffoon once again.

Then he glanced over at Averiel fighting alone. She seemed to be doing well, but he sent some encouraging words her way as well, to help her stay confident.

Titus pivots and swings his sword like a golfer's club at the hobgoblin.

Enseth's defenses activated, rising a force barrier in front of him.

"Poor decision.", he said before crushing the Bugbear's head.

Tommi feels the tension in his chest release, as if a rib has snapped back into place. Breathing is easier, and he looks to Dandin, but is unable to make eye contact.

Loading another stone into the sling, he heads towards the door, letting it fly towards the bugbear as he passes.

But the stone tumbles our of the sling and it rolls at Tommi's feet.

Carried by momentum, he heads out the door.

Angis & Dandin vs Bugbear2

Dandin teased the bugbear, and as it turned in fury to try to crush the halfling, Angis burried an axe deep into its back. The brutish creature sighed and fell on its face while Dandin scampered out the way. The halfling turned to see how Averiel was faring, and he called some encouraging words to her as Andrik ran past him to help her.

Andrik & Averiel vs Bugbear3

Andrik lunged at Averiel's opponent. It was not a well-executed attack, and the bugbear easily knocked it aside, but it was the distraction Averiel needed - she thrust her sword deep into the brute's abdomen. Then the elf spun around, pulling the blade free and she nodded to Dandin in appreciation of his remarks.

Enseth vs BB1

As the bugbear pulled at his plating, Enseth's defenses activated, giving the Brute a slight shock. The bugbear quickly let go and its face contorted into a snarl as it lunged at the Shield Guardian. Enseth quickly executed the perfect timing to put his Battlefist in the Bugbear's face at the height of the brute's momentum. Metal fist met flesh face with a meaty impact that killed the bugbear instantly.

Tommi & Titus vs Goblins outside

Tommi ran out the door, scattering a stone under his feet as he flubbed loading his sling. He climbed over the low wall of the stairwell and into the little ditch that ran along the tavern's outer wall. He could see Titus now, fighting goblins in the shadows in front of a broken stained-glass window. To the west, (behind Tommi) the workhouse where they had rescued the townsfolk was ablaze and the occasional burning piece of ash landed softly in the quiet gravel road that ran in front of the tavern.

The sling stone that had struck Titus had throw him off balance. He thrust his sword at the hobgoblin while Morwin scratched at the back of its head, but the hobgoblin stayed focused, knocking his blade aside. The militant goblin followed that up with a lunge that cut deep into the nobleman's thigh.

The goblin on the other side of him tried to cut him with its fiendish blade, but Titus was able to twist sideways and the blade glanced off of his armour. Then two sling-stones struck him accurately in the side of the head in quick succession, blurring his vision.

Titus saw Tommi exit the building

"Need some help!" he called out before swinging his sword at the Goblin's Neck, drawing on his inner reserves to keep himself going.

"Need some help!"

Dandin looked about sharply from his gloating over their fallen foes. then he remembered the sound of shattering glass and heard the sounds of a struggle outside the window. He couldn't see clearly, but he'd noticed Tommi step outside and he ran closer to the windows, looking to see what he could do. Alas, his height forbade a clear sight and so he went with something more akin to a desperation move.

Dropping his rapier, he laid a hand on the shawm at his belt and whistled a lullaby.
