So are we going in initiative order or what?

Eowyn Rosebud
Early Morning
Gravesford
Round 1

Eowyn crept forward quietly and carefully, using the bushes to screen her from the archers on the other side of the bank. She had no need or desire to get closer. Quietly she whispered a sound, not really words, and pointed two fingers at the largest orc and the shaman.

Round 2

While the others move into more favourable positions Arcata sends a fireball streaking across the river to explode amidst the archers, killing two of them before they even realised someone was there. Saarthax walks up to an orc, his confident posture betrayed by his flapping nightshirt, "Release your prisoner," the orc looks at Saarthax, then pushes a small raft of sticks and straw into the river before jumping in behind it and and kicking for all he is worth to get across the river. Eowyn reaches out with her magical energy. The warspeaker shrugs it off but the brute strains and struggles. Orin takes a cautious approach readying for an attack only to see the huge juggernaut step towards Saarthax. He looses an arrow that pings off the crude iron plates that the brute wears as armour. U'Tempei, takes to the air and quietly lands behind the remaining archer.

The last archer looses an arrow back at Arcata but in the gloom the arrow skitters through the trees to no effect. The second orc abandons what he was doing by the water and charges at Saarthax, landing a savage blow that nearly knocks the dragonborn to the ground. The shaman shouts, "Delay them!" in orcish, then makes a gesture that summons a ghostly axe next to Saarthax that swings and cuts through his night shirt like the flimsy cloth that it is. The huge brute strains, huge muscles bulging with effort until suddenly he lets out a deafening bellow, free from the restraining magic.

U'Tempei fires two bolts at the remaining archer. She then draws her rapier and advances to the shore to greet the orc swimming her way.

OOC:

Attack #1 [roll0] Advantage as the orc doesn't know she's there [roll1] Damage [roll2]
Attack #2 [roll3] Damage [roll4]

What is orc 2 holding that does 2d10+3?

Herosmith14 · Feb 15, 2019

"Bilgruk," Orin curses in the orcish tongue as his arrow clatters off the giant's armor, before he notices the shaman shouting orders. The warbred shrugged as he carefully skirted around the juggernaut.

"Cut off the head...," he mutters as he knocks another arrow. Orcs were pretty good at raging about without leadership, but it was worth a shot.

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Saarthax struggling with his attacker. "He's got a limp, go for the legs," he calls out in Draconic.

OOC:

Move to J14

Action: Attack Warspeaker
Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1] piercing

Bonus Action: Help Saarthax with an attack on orc2

JustinCase · Feb 19, 2019

Saarthax is pleased to see the first orc drop down into the water at the power of the Gods behind his words, but forgets about him when the axe from the second orc painfully splits the paladin's side. The dragonborn cannot suppress a groan as his knees shake with the impact, but he finds himself upright in spite of the pain.

"Gods take you, orc," he says through a red haze, and a quick prayer calls on the Divine to guide his hand in battle against this foe.

Yet another surge of pain erupts from his body, this time from his arm, as a ghostly axe tears through his scaly skin and nightshirt alike. From the distance Saarthax hears Orin shout a hint about his opponent, and he trusts the warbred's eye. Without thinking further, the dragonborn slashes the heavy axe at the orc in front of him, then reverses his grip and makes another swing.

"Gods, allow me to keep fighting this evil," he whispers, feeling the wings of divine safety around him, shielding him from attacks.

OOC:

Take the Extra Attack action, making two attacks on orc 2. I assume Orin's Help action only grants advantage on the first attack; if not, feel free to correct me on that.

Attack 1: [roll0] Advantage: [roll1] for [roll]1d12+4[roll] slashing damage
Attack 2: [roll2] for [roll]1d12+4[roll] slashing damage

If either hits, I add a level 1 Divine Smite to add [roll3] radiant damage.

Then, as a Bonus action, cast Sanctuary: For a minute, any creature who targets me must make a DC13 Wisdom saving throw or choose a new target or lose the attack or spell.

By the way, I'm not sure what action orc 1 takes after failing his save against Saarthax' Command spell?...

the orc looks at Saarthax, then bushes a small raft of sticks and straw into the river before jumping in behind it and and kicking for all he is worth to get across the river. (...) orc saves vs Saarthax command Orc 1 save: 1d20 7 fails

JustinCase · Feb 19, 2019

OOC:

Hmm, not sure why it didn't roll the damage rolls. Let's retry that: [roll0] (first attack) [roll1] (second attack, although I suspect it's a miss)

He's taken the dash action though the water. As he's swimming, he is at half speed. The current also has some effect on his movement.

Oops, I think I mixed up Command and Suggestion. I was working on the idea that he was compelled to release the prisoner and that the effect was longer than 1 round.

I'll update the map.
