D&D 5E EB's Into the Eye of the Storm - PotA Campaign - IC

[EarlyBird]

The left tunnel:

This narrow passage is about ten feet high in most places, with rough, irregular walls. Protruding spurs on the walls are coated in dried blood.

Eventually this natural passage widens out;

The star-shaped cavern ahead has many clefts in its walls. Only two, across the cavern, seem large enough to traverse. Three zombies lurch about the area. One is costumed like a bear, another is dressed as a lady in a frilly dress and thick makeup, and the last is costumed as a jester with jingling bells on its collar and sleeves.

All three start to move, the bear holding his arms out as he moves back and forth. The jester squats on his heels and starts to hop, the bells jingling lightly as he moves. And the ballerina tries to pirouette, but her lack of muscles and coordination, has her stopping in half circles as she slowly turns.

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Talin slips into the room and moves towards the zombies. Drawing his rapier he strikes at the jester. The black crackling energy slides up Talin's arm and engulfs the Jester.

OOC: Booming Blade attack on Jester Zombie: 1d20+6 25 Damage to Jester: 1d8+4 11 Let me know if I would get Sneak Attack.

 

[hero4hire]

Cyan followed Talin's lead and struck at the Jester making long but shallow cuts.

Ooc: Move to Jester
Hit twice for a total of 8 damage! Out of a possible 24?
Atk jester main hand, offhand, sneak dmg: 1D20+6 = [15]+6 = 21

1D6 = [1] = 1

 

[jmucchiello]

As she hears the combat begin, Terry casts shillelagh on her staff. Seeing the injuries on the jester zombie, she moves to J8 and attacks it. Somehow, she just barely misses hitting it.

OOC: Attack [roll0] Damage [roll1]

 

[tglassy]

Captain Barakas Stormsword rushes into battle, slashing with his vibrating sword!

Booming blade at Bear.

[roll1] + [roll2] If it moves.

 

[EarlyBird]

Captain Barakas hears the twang of a crossbow, and the grunts as swordsman thrust blades into flesh. Not wishing to be left out he hurries around the corner and his two companions standing there to come face to face with a zombie in a bear suit, a fresh crossbow quarrel deep in its chest. Its arms are strecthed out it tries to growl but its lack of proper working lungs makes it sound more like a gruggle, than a growl. The tiefling laughs at the folly of the thing.

The Jester tries to cartwheel to the side and nearly tumbles over, its legs not liking the added momentum to the weight they can barely support. A thunderous boom echoes throughout the cavern complex as the dark shadow energy surrounding the zombie explodes like a thunderhead. It tries lashing out at Cyan as the dragonborn's blades cut deep gouges in the monsters back and shoulders, but its atks are feeble as the last of its un-life leaves its body.

And lastly Talin watches as the ballerina puts both her skinless arms over her head and tries to tip-toe towards the shadow rogue. As it approaches it lurches as if dancing and brings both hands down in a double axe-handle towards the rogues head. He manages to get his head out of the way but is clipped on the shoulder instead.

Terry hopes for better luck against the bear as she closes with it.

OOC: Attack [roll0] Damage [roll1]

Niklos shoots the bear again.

[VLAD the Destroyer]

As the ballerina swings down at Talin he raises his hand. As he does a thin wall of shadow burst from the floor at his feet and solidifies attempting to deflect the attack.

OOC: Using my reaction to cast shield. My Ac is now 21. Let me know if the attack still hits.

 

[EarlyBird]

The "shield of shadow" deflects the blow readily, and the ballerina dances and swings on as if not knowing the magic is protecting the elf.

OOC: Will take back that dmg then. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[hero4hire]

With the Jester down, Cyan focused her attention on the Ballerina and began to hack away with Draconic strength.

OOC:
Hit AC 19 for 15 damage
Bonus action offhand Hit AC 25 for 5 damage

20 damage total.

sneak attack zombie ballerina: 1D20+6 = [13]+6 = 19
1D20+6 = [19]+6 = 25
1D8+4 = [5]+4 = 9
1D6 = [5] = 5
1D6 = [6] = 6

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Talin strikes through the now dissipating shadows towards the ballerina that just attempted to attack him. He times his attacks to coincide with Cyan's hoping to finish off the zombie.

OOC: Booming Blade attack on Ballerina.: 1d20+6 22 Booming blade damage w/ sneak attack: 1d8+4+1d6 8

 

[EarlyBird]

OOC: Ballerina can't make the save from Cyan DC 28, so we can have you attack the bear, and the Captain will give you your sneak attack dmg. So that means a CON save for the bear zombie, DC 13 [roll0], let's see if he is alive? EDIT yep so [MENTION=6855204]tglassy[/MENTION] to finish the round
