D&D 5E [IC] Creamsteak's Princes of Elemental Evil

[Shayuri]

Maighan mutters a curse under her breath and urges her hippogriff forward with her knees while putting an arrow to nock and aiming. She timed the wingbeats...one, two, three, and then it would glide. For that brief glide their flight would be smooth. She'd have to be quick though.

One. Two. Three.

shoooop

(Init [roll0], and longbow attack: [roll1] to hit for [roll2] damage.)

 

[Kobold Stew]

[Seeing Feather fall has been cast (yes?),] Carradoc, holding on to his Hippogriff, desperately points a finger: "Kablooie," he orders.

A huge sphere of flame bursts forth and launches itself towards the flying beast.

OOC: Fireball: [roll0] Dex save, DC 16 for half damage.

 

[Creamsteak]

One of Tolan's arrows land.

Thaliss lands comfortably on the ground. The mount is too far for Misty Step.

Maighan follows up with an accurate arrow.

And then, suddenly, things get flashy and a bead of fire flies from Carrodoc directly into the flying manticore. The bead flashes in an explosion and expansion of fire that the manticore takes the full force from. When the flash clears, the creature is still alive and flying, though seared in various places.

OOC: Holding any retaliation from the Manticore for Thaliss action as he is possibly in damage range to end the creature.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Seeing that he won't be able get back on his mount, Thaliss curses the Manticore, and channels two blasts of eldritch power towards it.

OOC: Bonus action: cast hex using sorcerer slot (note that featherfall was also cast using sorcerer slot, I should have specified it) Action: cast Eldritch blast on manticore, range 240 ft. Blast 1: attack [roll0] Force damage [roll1] Necrotic Damage [roll2] Blast 2: attack [roll3] Force damage [roll4] Necrotic Damage [roll5] Move: Thaliss will move behind a tree or rock on the ground if cover is available. If not, no move. Note: Thaliss will cast shield as a reaction if he is hit by an attack (+5 to AC) AC: 17 (I am hoping Thaliss will get some additional cover ) HP: 40 Spells: Sorcerer: 1/3 1st level slots warlock: 2/2 second level slots

 

[Steve Gorak]

OOC: Crit, whoot whoot!!! ;-) Additional damage: Force damage [roll0] Necrotic Damage [roll1]

 

[Forged Fury]

OOC: FYI: Crits don't add ability damage, just dice. So an extra 6 damage, assuming Thaliss is in range to Hex it.

 

[Steve Gorak]

OOC: OOC: OOC: FYI: Crits don't add ability damage, just dice. So an extra 6 damage, assuming Thaliss is in range to Hex it. You're right! I can't add the ability modifier twice. The extra damage should therefore be 6. Thanks for pointing that out [MENTION=95059]Forged Fury[/MENTION]!

 

[Creamsteak]

Thaliss blasts seem to be enough to kill the flying beast and it crashes into the ground on the rocks below.

The hippogriff that was Thaliss mount seems to veer off towards the tower.

Apparently the crashing monster scared a wild goat that was running nearby.

When the party arrives at the body, it is broken and burned, but still somewhat intact. Savra arrives a moment later.

"Well you did make short work of it. Hopefully the hippogriff will return to the tower..."

 

[Steve Gorak]

"Well you did make short work of it. Hopefully the hippogriff will return to the tower..."

Thaliss will head towards the fallen Manticore, and blast it once more, to make sure it is dead. He will look at it for anything of interest.

Responding to Savra "Poor beast, I hope it will fly home to the tower and recover from its wounds quickly. I guess I will need more classes in order not to fall off anymore" he says to her, smiling invitingly. Looking back at the manticore "Should we cut off its head or perhaps a paw to bring back to the tower as a trophy and proof of our deeds?"

Thaliss with then chant a minor spell

ooc: cast guidance.

 

[Creamsteak]

"Did the commander say he wanted it's head? Or am I imagining that?"

[sblock=Tolan-Maighan]You can see humanoid shapes moving around at the edge of the fog on the ground.[/sblock]
