D&D 5E Arena of War - Chapter 1: In Character

[sithramir]

Round 1:
PC: Valya moves towards a goblin pack destroying a goblin with a fiery ray of power. Two more rays shoot forth both missing their targets. (1 Kill)

PC: Artyom moves to a goblin bashing him. The goblin appears mortally wounded but able to stand his ground. He strikes back with his best effort hitting Artyom (4 damage). Another goblin moves to harass him but misses.

The dwarf charges towards the goblins meeting them halfway. Both exchange glancing blows and the dwarf does not appear hurt. The goblin falls dead.* A second zombie like goblin rakes at the dwarf to no effect.

Several goblins move towards the group. Two goblins appear to be attempting to surround the wizard with wicked grins on their faces.

PC: Cade is up.

OOC: Please note with PC slots it's ok if Drek acts first to save on time so if you both provide actions i'll provide final interactions to speed up time.

NPC Slot
PC: Drek
NPC Slot

OOC: Please if we could attempt to post at least once a day thatt would be great. Faster preferred but to attempt to keep this moving forward. I will be more responsive in general than today as I was forced into an all day meeting and it's hard to work from phone.

*Edit: I totally rolled goblin damage for the dwarf instead of his damage. I just realized the goblin had taken less than his minimum damage.

Drek's chest heaves as he takes in the battlefield and the goblin monstrosities surrounding them, his grip white-knuckled around his greataxe. He sees the wizard being surrounded. Deciding that her magic could benefit them all, he charges the fray with a deep, guttural roar, turning himself into a fleshy shield from which the wizard can work her wonders.

OOC:
Bonus action: enter rage (1 minute)
Move: 20 ft. to I6
Attack J5: Greataxe +6; 1d12+6 (including +2 damage from rage) (1d20+6=17, 1d12+6=14)

While raging, Drek has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

 

[sithramir]

OOC: Note a goblin is dead from last post due to DM error on dwarf damage.

Drek moves in front of Valya and slays his first goblin (Kill 1)

Two more goblins move into melee with the half-orc and wizard. One goblin attacks, missing Drek.

The elf using a longbow marks his opponent and fires an arrow and one goblin falls. Immediately after he shoots a second one to it's companion breaking their charge. The goblin falls dead. (Kills 2).

Several G2 goblins move toward the center hungry for their prey. Most goblins are wielding short swords and wearing studded leather armor (no shields). For future reference their AC is 13 and HP=7 so that you can confirm kills.

PC: Cade is last up

NPC Slot: G3 goblins will act then round 2 (G4's will hold and watch the battlefield take place seeing where they can best gain an advantage).

Snarling in anticipation, Cade urges Silverback into lunging at the nearest goblin and simply tearing it's throat out before spinning around and loping away past the wizard girl to the south wall. Turning in place, Silverback puts his tail to the wall and gives Cade a good view of the rest of the battlefield. With an arrow still knocked in his shortbow, the halfling congratulates his mount on their first of many kills.


[sblock=Details]-Silverback moves 5 feet to space E7
-Advantage on melee bite attack targeting Goblin at D6=1d20+6=12, 1d20+6=20
-Keep the second roll which is 20 total to hit AC13.
-2d4+4=10 10 piercing damage, killing G1 goblin at D6
-Continued move action moving away from the wall of goblins 35 feet more (total 40 of 40 feet moved) to space L8 where they turn to face northward again.[/sblock]

Cade's wolf tears out the throat of one of the goblins and he rides him to a safer location surveying the field for his next move.

Goblins G3 move forward slowly. The northeast take a dodge action afraid of the elf's wicked bow. More goblins surround the dwarf one attacking but unable to penetrate his heavy armour. Another goblin attacks Artyom but he easily avoids the blow.

ROUND 2:
PC Slot: Valya
PC Slot: Artyom
NPC Slot G1
PC Slot: Dwarf
PC Slot: Drek
NPC Slot G2
PC Slot Elf
PC Slot: Cade
NPC Slot G3/G4

Valya/Artyom please proceed.

 

[Gourry02]

Artyom spins his staff around him in a blur. Leaping gracefully into the air, he slams the staff down atop the same goblin like a mallet.

1d20+6: 7(natural 1 +6)

((Ooc: didn't bother rolling damage on my crit failure lol))

 

[Phoenix8008]

[SBLOCK=OOC]As a general rule, unless he starts to get lower on HP's, assume that Cade uses his Mounted Combat feat to switch any attacks at Silverback to target himself instead.[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

Valya gives her 'ally' an annoyed look as he strays into the line of fire, but she needs allies...burning them down along with the goblins would be a terrible idea on several levels. She'd never do it, but just for a moment she can understand the temptation that so many other Red Wizards routinely fell prey to.

So she moved to another group, risking the wrath of the goblin near her to do so. These goblins were clustered nicely, and had no 'friendlies' in the mix.

Perfect.

She cast a spell, and once again fire roared from her hands. This time not in finely tuned streams though...no this time it was an undisciplined wave that poured out and engulfed a mass all at once!

(Move to F6, which gives a goblin an OA on her, and cast Burning Hands on the cluster of goblins starting at E6 and going up to C5. It looks like she can get 4, maybe even 5 goblins, just eyeballing it. I'll let you be the final arbiter of that. Dex save DC 14 for half of [roll0])

 

[sithramir]

ROUND 2:
PC Slot: Valya moves out of melee and takes a critical hit from the goblin (9 damage). She moves to the northeast group and burns 4 of them to cinders (5 kills). Another goblin moves to her and critically hits her (5 more damage).

PC Slot: Artyom shows his impressive skills and twirling his staff.

NPC Slot G1 goblin fighting Drek critically hits him (2 damage after your resistance).

G1 goblins fighting Artyom attacks him. He dodges one but takes a hit from the second (6 damage).

Four G1 goblins attaack the dwarf. Three miss him completely and the fourth one connects but cannot penetrate his armour

PC Slot: The Dwarf chops a goblin in half laughing the whole time. He seems unfazed by the sheer quantity of goblins surrounding him.

PC Slot: Drek
NPC Slot G2
PC Slot Elf
PC Slot: Cade
NPC Slot G3/G4



Drek and/or Cade can act next.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Cade leans to the left, guiding Silverback over to attack the next nearest goblin that is helping to surround the monk. Silverback bites into the goblin's thigh and yanks hard, trying to trip the goblin up if it survives. The scrawny thing just pulls apart though with it's leg coming off in Silverback's muzzle before the screaming goblin drops to the sand in an expanding pool of blood. Cade then steers them up behind another nearby goblin to give it something to think about.

[sblock=Details]-Partial Move action: 10' to space L06.
-Action: Silverback melee bite attack at goblin at L05.
-Attack Rolls (w/ advantage): 1d20+6=26, 1d20+6=23 CRIT!
-Damage Rolls (4d4+4 instead of 2d4+4 due to crit): 4d4+4=15
-Continued Move action: 5' more to K06.[/sblock]
