Spoiler: Merrick- Team CAVES!

Merrick Thorburn Race: Human	HP: 42/53 AC: 15/17(with shield)	Buffs: Inspiration: 1
Rage: 1/3	Inner Healing:1/4	HD: 1/4
Spoiler: Stats(saves) STR: 16+3(+5) DEX: 14+1(+2) CON: 16+3(+5) INT: 8-1(+-1) WIS: 10+0(+0) CHA:11 +0(+0)	Spoiler: Skills Athletics+5 Intimidate: 2/5 Perception: 2 Performance 2 Stealth: 4 Survival: 2	Spoiler: Spells Daily: JUMP: 1/1 At will Thaumaturgy Message

Merrick runs past the dog, jumping over its attack, runs up next to the paralyzed houndsman and misses twice but Merrick manages to graze his cheeks leaving blood dripping on each side.

Spoiler: OOC

Strength check: 2D20.HIGH(1)+5 = [10, 6]+5 = 15 Vs the trip: success

Move to AV8

If the dog hits on the attack of opportunity:
Strength : 2D20.HIGH(1)+5 = [9, 6]+5 = 14 success

I hit AC 12 and AC 13 so both those attacks Miss. with Graze, the Houndsman takes 6 damage.

Merrick is NOT attacking recklessly so nobody gets advantage to attack him.

Spoiler: Terrin - Team Infiltrate

Terrin AC:15* HP:18/31(36) HD:4/4 PP:14 SSdc14 2/4 2/3 CD:2/2 Slp:0/1

"That mad elf, if he has any sense at all, will go back to the others and lead them here," says Terrin, "but perhaps this will lead them astray."

He retrieves a small pinch of a white waxy substance from a pouch concealed in the folds of his robes and gestures with it, chanting a few words in an arcane tongue, at which it begins to glow faintly green in the dimness of the cave, and four small lights resembling torches appear hovering over the place on the ledge to which they had crossed the water. As Terrin continues to focus on the lights, they begin to move in a line along the ledge to the southwest, away from the mouth of the cave.

OOC: Terrin casts dancing lights at S-33 and moves the lights at a brisk walking pace along the ledge to the southwest.

Replacing the glowing substance in its pouch, Terrin shakes the residue from his fingers.

"It does burn a bit," he says, moving farther into the cave.

OOC: Terrin moves to J-32.

"I'm still standing, elf-fail!" Lorent calls out before joining the rest of the group

I'm still standing
at 2:09 still there

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Stryke nodded to Terrin and said, "He may come to his senses, if he has any sense, and inform the others where we have gone."

He put his hand on Copper's shoulder and said, "Join me in executing a thalak'vel - what you would call an ambush? If I can borrow a bow or at least a javelin or two?"

 

[MetaVoid]

Torhak would prefer not to kill the dog, but once made vicious by training, the dogs are hard to turn back. And it takes time he just doesn't have right now.
He puts poor mutt out of his misery and advances on kobolds glowering and brandishing his bloody weapons
"Move! I need to get to that houndmaster!"

“If you see me comin', better step aside - A lot of men didn't, a lot of men died”

OOC: @Snarf Zagyg weren't we supposed to keep the arrangement with kobolds secret? You're yelling we're working for them all over the place.

Spoiler: Actions

Move: BB6
Attack: Shortsword; damage vs dog: 1D20+6 = [19]+6 = 25; 1D6+4 = [2]+4 = 6
Move: AY6

Spoiler: Copper: Team infiltrate

Copper AC:15 HP:34/31+5 HD:4/4 PP:14 CloudJ:1/2

"Sure thing, lets get this thakel-veil!" Copper agrees.

"And, uh, I suppose now is as good a time as ever to ask about our mission. Seeing as how we basically botched it." Copper reasons with just a bit of hesitation. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about a statue these cultists have, would you? About a foot tall, made out of blackrock, one of the keys to stopping their world domination plans. Let us know if you have, it would be a help."

OOC: I didn't see the post at first, oops. Lets set this ambush up!

 

[Steve Gorak]

Team Lake - Aywin

Aywin whispers to Shade-9 "Thanks for freeying the kayak, I'll need you to continue fir a bit"

He then puts his paddle next to him and extends his hands to show he is not holding weapons. "We wish you no harm" He says, addressing the big lizard folk seemingly in charge.

Also telepathically asks Svetlana to get closer to the leader, about 20 ft away and observe him.

 

[Lidgar]

OOC: @FitzTheRuke, Bjorn had come ashore next to Guldred and the lizardman he is talking to (around Q22) in this post. The map you posted has him in the water still.

"I can help. Once you set up the spot, I'll put my image in a place so that he sees me just from the right spot so hopefully he stops."
Lorent offers.
"Be quick though, if he's crazy enough and my barb hit, he will be behind us shortly."

OOC: It would be funny if we just hear the splash and nothing else from the cultist ever again. Until the end where we see the ghost of the idjit trying to haunt us

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Team Lake - Darius Braidon

Darius works the kayak over to the shore and climbs out with the others. He stands to the back and watches the lizardfolk. He lets the others talk as he tends to rub people the wrong way.
