D&D 5E (IC) Rise of the Dracolich

Mord vs Kobolds

Mord waited until a few kobolds had made their way toward him. One shuffled down the shallow slope and flung a clay pot at him which burst on the ice floor in front of him with a foul, noxious smell that made his head ache. More kobolds came down, and Mord summoned writhing tentacles that scooped them up. A few of the kobolds were dashed to death by the tentacles and the armoured kobold directly in front of him was dragged back and crushed. They shrieked in their high-pitched draconic - a noise that Mord thought sounded rather pleasing, to his mild surprise.

Still, a few kobolds managed to slip past him (one even ran all the way up to Lorenn) and yet more appeared to be coming. The one that had been in the cavern to the north finally braved running through Kalorn's illusion, and it rushed Primus with a spear. Though it seemed like Primus was in his own world, the psychic easily stepped aside, as if he had always known that the spear would thrust just where it did.

Finally, a kobold came to the top of the slope and launched three small bursts of fire at Mord, singing him badly.

Any of them pass within reach of Mord btw? Also, how many Concentration checks?

No one Provoked Opp Attacks, no. Everyone who came within reach got caught up in the spell. 4 Concentration Checks, all dc10.

Mord watched with satisfaction as a number of Kobolds were dashed against the walls or crushed to death by Tentacles. He was thus distracted when the acid splashed over him and in his surprise, lost the spell. The damage was done, but now the Tentacles dissapeared from whence they came and the floor became as solid ice once again. The bolts of fire then seared into him and he screamed in pain as they brought him to the brink of collapse.

OOC:

Warcaster gives advantage, but of course he failed on the very first hit.

Concentration:: 4#2d20k1+1 9 9 13 18

Imagine that. Anyways, I did mention him wanting to back away if the spell cleared the way for him to do so. He won't risk an AoO at this point, but if he can he'll do so.

Sesto, Kalorn, Lorenn, Loklafd & Alhana vs Troll3

Sesto hunkered down under his shield to avoid things being thrown at him while he healed his ice-shard injuries. Kalorn called out, goading the troll while firing bolts of eldritch energy which singed its flesh. The troll roared but held back for the moment.

Then Lorenn, who had very nearly been caught up to by a wily kobold, flew over on his board (leaving the frustrated kobold behind) and created a ball of fire that scorched the troll from behind. With nowhere to retreat to, the troll changed its mind and barrelled forward, sliding down the steep slope at a breakneck pace. It wasn't able to keep its feet and it crashed through the bodies of the other dead trolls, kicking and flailing at the people at the bottom, knocking them away across the icy floor. Loklafd was struck so hard that his prosthetic leg came off, and he struggled to regain his feet.

Alhana ducked around a corner to take cover from either side, and she fired two arrows through the crowd. One struck the troll as it lay on its back, flailing about.

Kobolds in the Web

The Kobolds that had been left in Lorenn's web struggled to free themselves to no avail, but they had set the web on fire and it burned up, freeing them. Unfortunately for one of them, he had been so caught up in the stick mass that he burned to death. The others were singed, but they were free and they followed the rest up the circular tunnel.

GM:

The troll strikes Sesto, Kalorn, Lorenn, and Loklafd. All must make a dc14 Dex Save for half damage. On a fail, they are also knocked prone. Either way, they are knocked back 15 feet. Troll remains prone ATM.

Mord cursed as his spell faded before it had truly begun. He'd hoped to delay the kobolds long enough for his allies to finish the battle with the troll and turn to the other threat. Still, he wouldn't go down easily and so he summoned a pair of bolts, aiming primarily at the potion lobber, but settings secondary sights on the spellcaster. Once his spell was away he turned and dove into the heart of the illusion, hopefully these kobolds would be fooled enough to not follow him into the weird blackness of Kalorn's spell.

OOC:

Eldritch Blast: 2#1d20+8 10 17 2#1d10+4 8 5

Move to U14

The crash was violent but a nice barrel roll did the trick and Lorenn managed to stay on his board. Hey Eko, we need to try this slide once before leaving this place. Eko? But Eko was long gone.
B'lyath! I'll bring you back soon buddy...

Sliding upside down along the ceiling, Lorenn slashed the Troll's throat before landing on the other side. Then he threw his flaming ball down the slope, going for the strike.

OOC:

Dex Save: 1d20+7 27
Movement: Q18
Action: BB: 1d20+8 28 2d8+5 14 2d8 7 (if he moves) 2d6 7 (sneak because prone?)
Critical hit: 2d8 14 2d6 3 (sneak)
Movement: keeps sliding up the slope to I19
Bonus Action: Flaming Sphere DC14: 3d6 14 (or 7)
Total: 28 Thunder +10 sneak + 14/7 Fire (+7 if he moves)

(B'lytath: Drow curse word whose translation could offend the most sensitive people.)

Primus looked back and forth bewteen the remaining troll and the kobolds. The troll was likely the greater threat, so he sent a thought scrambling headache its way.

OOC:

Conserving Psi Points limits what I can do, but at least I can do decent damage.

Mind Thrust on Troll: DC 16 INT save or take [roll0] Psychic damage. Ha! Max Damage! Requesting his head to explode if this kills him, for cool factor. Blood leaking from eyes and ears is ok if it doesn't.

(Busy day but here is a partial post)

"Damn your elven hide, we are here to find someone, not fight and we already located her, and you brought down the entire complex on our head!"

Kalorn leapt aside to try to dodge the troll (doesn't the troll take damage from this too?)

Roll dex save [roll0]

Roll concentration check [roll1]
