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

[sithramir]

Round 4 (Finished)
24 Twins:
Twin 2's skill with a blade comes into question. Seeing the great opportunity to finish an opponent as Drek is still un moving he swings hard taking two swipes. Unfortunately he stumbles botching both attacks as the blade slips form his hand. He spends his movement picking the blade back up his face beat red. (No Joke I rolled WITH advantage 1 and 1 and then 3 and 1)
Twin 1 has slightly better luck. He takes two attacks at Dhruv wanting to get back at him for his sneaky attack. The first swing clangs off Dhruv's armour but the second one connects (10 damage). "Brother thou art truly going to kill us!" he remarks to the other twin.

23 Paelis runs up and fires two quick shots at the Caster attempting to disrupt him from his spell. The first one connects but one of the false images surround him dissapears. The second one also connect but no images disappear and the caster seems wounded. The spell is not disrupted.

22 Barbarian charges forward making his way around the south western end. He encounters a pit trap and falls but is able to grab hold of an edge before actually falling in. He spends the rest of the effort standing back up. His encounter with the lion and trap has not been his best of days.

21 Jade moves in for a kill striking Twin 2 once, twice, three times! But, amazingly, he stays up albeit on wavering legs (Miss, Hit (Twin rolls 16 Con Save), Crit, Hit).

21 Valya moves next to the elf and cast a powerful evocation. Fire explodes around the group leaving the the twins lifeless. Twin 2 is completely burned nearly to cinders but Twin 1 while clearly down appears only singed and perhaps could be saved. The third character was Dhruv so I assume you aimed to not hit him.

21 Drek shakes off the effects of the hold spell ready to wreak havoc on his next turn.
18 Dead Lions...
17 Bard: The bard appears at M26 becoming visible as he chants a spell. Faerie Fire bursts upon Paelis and Valya (Dex Save DC=14 or foes gain advantage while attacking).

16 Rogue 2 is hidden behind some crates.

15 Caster chants a spell and a lightning bolt forks from his fingterips hitting Jade and Dhruv (Dex save DC=14 for half damage or take 32 damage).
14 Artyom moves into cover at J-23
10 Dwarf
6 Rogue 1
5 Dhruv Moves 30' to V13 (due "south"), pickup weapon as action, hide as cunning action.

4 Druid (Large Lion) The lion claws into the Dwarf following up with another bite on his arm. The damage seems less than it should be but the dwarf howls trying to release himself from the large beast.

Round 5:
Twin 1 twitches...

23 Paelis steps from cover and says "We should rally together enough to avoid being picked off. I have minor healing". He focus's on the now visible bard marking his shot and firing two arrows which both hit him directly in the chest. The bard is horribly wounded and his concentration fails thus removing the faerie fire surrounding Valya and Paelis. Paelis steps back trying to stay as hidden as possible.

22 Barbarian: The barbarian, finally able to move from the trap charges at Valya and Paelis "You wounded my friend and will die for it!" He sprints a Dash action 80' towards them but does not make it this round.

[industrygothica]

Drek snarls as he is finally able to regain control of his limbs. He eyes the caster from across the battleground and points to him with one hand as the other tightens its grip on his greataxe. With a howl, he hefts the weapon and charges, but instead of charging the caster, Drek unpredictably changes course and introduces the other barbarian to the gorestained blade of his axe.

OOC: Two attacks. Looks like it's a miss and a hit for 5, unless his AC is really terrible or really great, respectively. No rage damage since it was unceremoniously prematurely ended for me. 1d20+7=9, 1d12+4=8; 1d20+7=23, 1d12+4=5

 

[Phoenix8008]

Seeing the tough looking Barbarian alone amongst his team, Jade decides it would be best to group together again and help take down this singular foe first. Switching to a two handed grip on his staff, the elf moves up behind the barbarian and swings hard at him twice before kicking out with one foot if the enemy remains standing.

[sblock=Details]-Move 30' to space O-10.

-Attack Barbarian twice with Quarterstaff (using both hands per Versatile property, so he couldn't catch a missile with Deflect Missile ability for now, but could still deflect it), then once unarmed with bonus action per Martial Arts ability.
-1d20+7=17, 1d8+4=8, 1d20+7=26, 1d8+4=5 Hits AC17 for 8 damage and AC 26 for 5 damage with staff.
-1d20+7=18, 1d6+4=6 Unarmed hits AC18 for 6 damage.

AC= 17
HP= 17/33
KI= 2/5[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

Valya lifts an eyebrow at the barbarian.

"Only wounded? I can see I'll have to do better." She moves out away from the sheltering pile of debris and gets a clear view of the field of battle. There, at the far end, a nice little cluster of opponents.

She smirks.

"I hope I don't disappoint this time."

Another globe of fire boiled into existence between her hands as she incanted furiously. Magic that rippled the dust around her and made the air around her waver and shimmer as if she were a mirage. Then she released the spell, letting the flames go on a long ballistic arc over the arena...coming down in a meteoric plunge towards the four foes who had believed themselves safe, so far away.

Then, mindful of the oncoming barbarian, she quickly retreated.

[sblock=Action!]Move north one square, and send another fireball at the four enemies on the far end there. A nice tight little group. [roll0] fire damage for them, half on a save. Then move to the west away from the barbarian 5 squares.[/sblock]

Round 5:
Twin 1 twitches...

23 Paelis steps from cover and says "We should rally together enough to avoid being picked off. I have minor healing". He focus's on the now visible bard marking his shot and firing two arrows which both hit him directly in the chest. The bard is horribly wounded and his concentration fails thus removing the faerie fire surrounding Valya and Paelis. Paelis steps back trying to stay as hidden as possible.

22 Barbarian: The barbarian, finally able to move from the trap charges at Valya and Paelis "You wounded my friend and will die for it!" He sprints a Dash action 80' towards them but does not make it this round.

21 Jade pummels the barbarian with his staff and unarmed attacks. The damage not fully registering to the barbarian but hurting him still.
21 Valya's fireball explodes ruining the group's plans. All are still standing but the dwarf and caster are at death's door. The rogue seems barely fazed.
21 Drek charges the barbarian hitting with one swipe of his axe. The barbarian is further wounded.
17 Bard casts a curing spell and his wounds seem lessened.
16 Rogue 2 is seen closing in on the group but is still hidden.
15 Caster runs behind the crates to hide.
14 Artyom is up
10 Dwarf swins two 2-handed swipes deep into the lion and suddenly a lone elf is standing there in lieu of the lion.
6 Rogue 1 moves in for the kill on the dwarf but is unable to connect.
5 Dhruv is up
4 Druid (Large Lion)

 

[Axel]

Dhruv, feeling secure in the big pile of rubble, takes a moment to inspect his new sword. Impressed with the sharpness, even on one side, he decides to put his enormous axe away (action). Holding the curved and flexible sword in one hand, he drew another javelin and peered around the corner to see who was still standing after what seemed like another explosion of magic.

Do you have a specific question before acting or are you just staying hidden this round?

 

[Axel]

Just staying hidden.

Edit: unless there are any excellent targets of opportunity after the fireball. In which case, action surge and attack from hidden with a sabre (dropped axe instead). Sabre (scimitar?) should give sneak attack as a finesse weapon. Just using strength attribute...

New edit! Attack!!! (I read the fireball effects description).

Spotting the enemy wizard hanging on to life by a thread, Dhruv drops his axe and rounds the corner swinging the curbed sword clumsily. Attack vs caster: 2#1d20+6 9 21 Damage vs caster: 2d6+3 8

Reversing the swing, Dhruv put all his remaining muscle strength into finishing off as many enemies as he could. (Action surge! attack caster if still standing, otherwise Dwarf) Attack 2: 1d20+6 15. Damage attack 2: 1d6+3 7

6 Rogue 1 moves in for the kill on the dwarf but is unable to connect.
5 Dhruv dashes his way across the field using a bonus dash with cunning action to make an attack on the beaten caster. He stabs through with the saber and decapitates his foe. The caster falls to the ground.
4 Druid (no longer a lion but a halfling wielding a staff) attacks the dwarf connecting twice with solid blows but the dwarf still somehow stands.

Round 6:
Twin 1 twitches...
23 Paelis fires two shots from his bow at the barbarian but critically misses. He looks embarassed at the poor display.
22 Barbarian attacks Drek with two powerful swings. The first misses but the second connects soundly (17 damage). (Why would you not be raging still? Hold person wouldn't stop that?)
