Finnan

Finnan steps round the cavern wall until he sees one of the bowgnolls. He seems to just stare at the creature, but it suddenly clutches it's head and yelps.

Atallia catches the arrows and throws it unerringly at one of the Gnolls that shot at her. She strides over the momentum of her movement adding to the cruel sword blow to the heart she delivers to him.

Pivoting after that, she kicks the next gnoll to soften him up.

The group "gangs up" on one of the poor gnolls and it falls to smite, psychic, and short sword. The gnoll pack lord stands and shakes the stars from its vision like a mad dog. It casts about and sees Kildrak close enough to reach and he charges in. He growls at the gnoll fighting Atallia and the thing starts to slobber and drool as it lashes out with a finish snap of its jaws. Watching out for the fangs she catches a spear tip to the thigh. And then the creature bites down hard on her shoulder.

Kildrak relishes the fight against such a foe and blocks one blow with his shield, but the gnoll leader comes in strong and connects with a second swing.

The gnoll fighting Grudach is having nothing to do with the big warrior and falls back once more. Heading for some stairs at the back of the chamber.

[-]Thia focuses inward and casts true strike. She then steps out to get a good shot at the leader.[/-]

OOC:

True strike is so f---ng useless. You have to be within 30 feet of the target when you cast it. And then you get advantage once on your next attack assuming it is next round. It should be a bonus action to cast.

So instead, Thia sneaks to M11 and then shoots from stealth with advantage on the gnoll leader.

Thia: stealth roll: 1D20+8 = [7]+8 = 15
Use first one if stealth failed, otherwise best of three for elven accuracy: 1D20+6 = [5]+6 = 11
1D20+6 = [10]+6 = 16
1D20+6 = [10]+6 = 16
Damage perhaps: 1D8+4 = [7]+4 = 11

Kildrak takes the blow and smiles. "That all ye got? Ya mangy, flea bitten, dug lickin pish ya!" The dwarf puncuated each word of the insult with a hammering blow that knocked past the Gnoll's defenses.

Ooc: Attack Gnoll leader Hit ac 19 for 13 damage. (forgot to add style damage)
attack gnollboss: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19
1D8+3 = [8]+3 = 11

Grudach 'chased' the gnoll to the stairs. He did not want to follow, but the stair-like rock formation seemed to be a way out, and the gnoll was in his way. He knocked the creatures' defences aside with his short sword and thrust his dagger into its chest. The ghostly energy played about his arm as the gnoll fell backwards down the stairs.

OOC:

Dagger:Attack: 2D20.HIGH(1)+4 = [12, 1]+4 = 16
1D4+4 = [2]+4 = 6
Already dead, I believe, so I didn't bother attacking with sword and didn't bother rolling extra d6+2

EarlyBird · May 25, 2018

OOC:

Very dead then, lol. #4 is alive 16/22 HP, and the pack lord is at 07/49 HP.
Finn and Atallia to finish the round.

Finnan

Not wanting any of the gnolls to escape, Finnan closes with the farthest gnoll before blasting it with eldritch energy.

Atallia cries "Enough!" as she slashes the throat of the gnoll next to her. She the somersaults to the pack lord and finishes him off with a series of rapid kicks to the head, breaking its neck.

OOC:

Gnoll 4: 1D20+5 = [10]+5 = 15
1D6+3 = [4]+3 = 7

FoB: Gnoll Pack Lord: 1D20+5 = [19]+5 = 24
1D4+3 = [3]+3 = 6
