D&D 5E (IC) Fitz's Folly

[Ancalagon]

OOC: Time to use those new abilities folks!

Rodrigo believed that the foul creature was ignoring him, and momentarily let down his guard as he saw Dellrak's arrow flash a bright blue. What was this? He missed the beast's shift of the hip, and only sheer reflexes allowed him to turn and wheel with the blow, deflecting part of what could have been a bone shattering impact.

Reaction: Parry Parry dice: 1D8+3 = [7]+3 = 10
Damage reduced to 13

He regained his footing, and eyes blazing, raised his sword high in the air, which flash briefly as it caught a stray beam of light through the canopy above. "FOR CASTALONE!"

Bonus action: second wind

Second wind vs zombie dino: 1D10+3 = [3]+3 = 6


Feeling that the momentum was his, he renewed his attack on the beast

Attack:second attack on dino zombie: 1D20+5 = [7]+5 = 12


But the blade failed to find its mark.

Her quiver would be empty soon at this rate, Miss Imogen thought. Never had she missed three in a row. This was embareassing. She could plead the mositure or the density of the foliage, of course, but she was just not able to hit this massive thing.

Arrow four.

OOC: Attack (sharpshooter): [roll0] to hit; damage [roll1] piercing if a hit.

Rodrigo & Imogen

Rodrigo managed to parry the heavy bone of the creature's tail, turning what would have been a serious blow into a sore arm and a slightly bent sword. He lunged at the creature, but his blade scraped off of its ridged hide as he took a long breath.

Miss Imogen fired another arrow, but she was having a very off day. This one sailed over the target and into the underbrush. Miss Imogen could feel the sting of the glare of her archery teacher, years gone.


Damage Taken: None

 

[Fradak]

Chrysagon keeps swinging his flail without finding a way to harm the creature.

OOC: Flail: 1D20+5 = [7]+5 = 12 1D8+5 = [2]+5 = 7

 

[gargoyleking]

Harb continued to work away at the joint, hoping to eventually disable the creature.

OOC: Quarterstaff (V):: 1D20+5 = [19]+5 = 24 1D8+3 = [3]+3 = 6 Unarmed:: 1D20+5 = [12]+5 = 17 1D4+3 = [2]+3 = 5 1D20+5 = [15]+5 = 20 1D4+3 = [4]+3 = 7 Flurry, Ki: (0/3) OOC:

Chrysagon, Harb, Qawasha, & Weed

Chrysagon smashed his flail into the bony back of the armoured creature, only to find that his efforts were in vain. Harb could see that the hind leg he had struck was near breaking point, so he struck it again and again. The leg gave out, and the creature rolled to one side.

Seeing his chance, Qawasha rushed forward with his gnarly walking stick, and brought the shillelagh down hard on its strangely small head with a crack. The creature's legs kicked a few times, and then it lay still. Weed jumped out off the bushes and raised his arms in the air, dancing around.

End of Combat

The moment the creature lay still Harb backed away watching it warily. He didn't trust the undead to stay dead necessarily and was ready to jump back into thr fray if needed.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Mmiss Imogen watched the carefl work of her colleagues. She stood there, ashamed. Her face flushed red, with embarassment and humiliation. It was a revelation for her, that she could prove so useless in a contest.

"Well done Qawasha, Harb. I feared we were lost for a moment there."

Her voice shakes. She has failed the team twice now. And as she looks at the creature lying there, she realizes that she had within her the power to effect a more focused attack than she had done. She could have done better, but she did not.

She is resolved now to improve on her performance in the future.

 

[Ancalagon]

Rodrigo let out a long breath, and his shoulders slumped a bit.

"That thing was almost impervious to our blows! Well done everyone. If the dead are rising left and right... this Death Curse must be stopped. Anyone hurt? If I hadn't rolled with that hit, that monster would have shattered my ribs..."

He sheathed his blades and looked around

"We better keep our eyes open, the noise may attract attention. But I think we should take a short break once we are done portaging the canoes"

OOC: Rodrigo has expended some of his short-rest powers, but if we must press on he could keep going. But I think that RP-wise, after a fight *and* a hard job people would want a rest

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: I think you'd break for lunch at the top of the falls even if you hadn't had a battle. Now Rodrigo will add taking his shirt off and checking his bruise...
