Ah the joys of dice rolls logged in roll20. Let's see shall we. This next combat was a fight against a fire army platoon, assaulting one of their forts where they had an important prisoner captured.

I'll even throw in the attack rolls. Bolds are crits. Damage is the actual damage done, based on hits. Round 1. Archer (Crossbow Expert) [25, 26, 31, 30]: 74 damage. Archer (Longbow) [21, [B]32[/B], 28, 26, 14, 24, 14 ]: 49 damage. (Action Surge). Round 2. Archer (Crossbow Expert) [30, 31, 26, 19]: 76 damage.
