D&D 5E (IC) Fitz's Folly

[FitzTheRuke]

The hag's dust caused much confusion: Friend appeared as foe and foe as friend. Imogen shot Weed with two arrows before a deep feeling of regret overcame her as she regained her senses. Qawasha was able to shake off the dust's effects and moved to force a goodberry into Ussal's slack jaws and help the Yuan-ti to his feet as he regained consciouness.

They were fortunate - as a confused Myrral growled out ancient words and the other side of the room erupted into a roar of flames. Grroll and Brrapp had been wrestling when they were engulfed. As the flames subsided, Brrapp had survived, with Grroll on top of him, a mat of blackened fur. Chrysagon the goat had collapsed as well, and the creature that had been in the cage - who had looked like a skinny, naked version of the original Chrysagon, they were nothing but ash.

Imogen looked over the rail at Weed, understanding that she had pierced his leafy hide with her arrows. She had only a moment to wonder if the spell that had turned him into a great beast would have stopped it from hurting him too terribly, when the flames burst up over the rail. She reflexively ducked and covered her bowstring from the flames.

OOC: Yes, she had half cover, so she made the save. I'll be back soon to post for the Hag, Ussal, the Ants, and Weed.

OOC: Sorry guys @Kobold Stew half of 35 is 17, fractions round down. Might come in handy, that 1 hp

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Awake now, but still in horned beast-form, Weed shook at the ants that were all over him and stomped them as they fell off. Though many ants were crushed under its feet, the others still chewed at its leaves, making holes in its body nearly as large as those created by Imogen's arrows.

As Ussal got unsteadily to his feet, he sent bursts of magic from his fists at the hag. She covered herself with her arm and said "Ouchie!" before lunging at the Yuan-Ti as he retreated behind the cauldron. Qawasha intercepted her, and she took two swings of her long arms at the Chultan guide, raking long scratches into his staff as he blocked her blows. Her many bells jingled as she swung her arms wildly, while chuckling to herself.

OOC: Wow. I missed Qawasha twice. Poor Weed is down to 9 HP, but still a Triceratops.

"Oh my Dear Sweet Weed," Miss Imogen shouts above the throng of the melee, her ribcage feeling like it would burst at what she has done. She looks down, as blood pours from the giant dinosaur and the consequences of her arrows and the fireball are still being felt.

The fireball came from Myrral, Miss Imogen realizes, but she daren't turn her attention away for the hags. All this could have been avoided, she thinks as her eyes well up, an automatic response to this terrrible, terrible fight.

Focus. Assess.
"Weed -- darling -- it's that witch. Get the witch." She releases one arrow.
"Ussal.... get clear!" A second arrow.

Both go wide.

OOC: Attack: arrow 1 1d20+4=7 Miss. arrow 2: 1d20=6. Miss. Is this her lucky day (last use of Luck, since not used last turn -- 0/3 remain. 1d20+4=12. Miss. No.

"Weed, focus. May the jungle spirits guide your horns. You ARE the JUNGLE now. GO!"
As the fog from the enchantment clears along with the smoke, the shaman looks in horror at the burned husks of his friends. He did this! No. The hag did it. Unfortunately, there are other priorities now, he needs to restore his friends first. But there will be a reckoning.

"Life is sparse in this dungeon. Yours are not yet extinguished. Raise, friends to fight another day."
He helps Groll back on his feet and instructs both of the hunters.
"Get up and back into the tunnel we came from. Help with the retreat as needed. Cure yourself if you can. Go!"

Hearing Miss Imogen plead to Weed and seeing the panicked Trideratops focus its attention on the Hag, Qawasha sent healing magic towards it1, trying to keep the spell going for a bit longer and then tried to aid by distracting the Hag with a swing of his staff.

Weed, confused and scared, abandoned the ants and charged. The charge seemed to lack focus but, with Myrral's words, Weed committed fully and gored the Hag, knocking her off balance.2 As the Hag stumbled, Weed brought down a heavy foot anticipating exactly where she was about to fall.3

"Focus on the Hag my friends!" Qawasha shouted to the fey and, almost immediately, invisible Chwingas became visible as they concentrated their magic at the Hag.4 But, out of spite for Qawaaha, the one Chinga, named Gruthy, who now saw the druid as a slave-master, launched a magical attack against everyone around the cauldron.5 Weed and Qawasha both shake of the magical enchantment.

Spoiler: OOC

1. Healing Word on Weed Using 2nd level spell
Healing Word: 2D4+4 = [3, 4]+4 = 11
Weed has 20hp.

2. Weed moves over 15 feet west then charges straight south 20 feet.
Location:
W21/X21/Y21
W22/X22/Y22
W23/X23/Y23
Triceratops-Weed Gore 1D20+9 = [7]+9 = 16 (Miss)

I forgot to roll advantage so I rolled a second attack for Qawasha's aid check but it was a 4.

Weed uses the inspiration
Inspiration: 1D8 = [2] = 2
Which turns the attack into an 18 which is a hit.

Weed gore damage: 4D8+6 = [8, 6, 4, 2]+6 = 26 damage.

3. Hag makes a DC 13 strength save, if she fails, Weed gets a Trample attack
Triceratops-Weed stomp: 1D20+9 = [20]+9 = 29 Crit
Weed trample damage: 6D10+6 = [5, 4, 3, 10, 1, 5]+6 = 34

4. 3 Chwingas cast confusion on Hag. She has to make 3 widom saves DC 13.

5 Chwiinga, named Gruthy, who is charmed, hits Weed, Qawasha and Ussaal @MetaVoid with a confusion.
DC 13 Wisdom save.

Qawasha Will Save; Weed Will Save: 1D20+7 = [19]+7 = 26
1D20+0 = [19]+0 = 19
We both succeed.

Weed HP: 20hp
Good berries: 1

I promise to never use Conjure Woodland Creature ever again. This post took me 40 minutes to write.

Ussal completely ignores the minor fey attempt to confuse him.

He calls upon his magic again, splashes the hag with acid and tries to push her away so that she can be charged and stomped on again.

In her sorrow and regret, Imogen's shaking hands sent arrows flying wide of the hag, while Myrral helped his charred friends to their feet. The tabaxi hunters quickly put out the flames on the goat-thing that had once been Chrysagon, and together they carried it toward the stairs as Weed charged, lowering horns, into the hag. She held her ground, not falling under his trampling feet. Instead, she leaped up onto his head and she rended the form with her claws, until the magic that held it together failed, and the vines withered, and a short but leafy vegepygmy was left standing before her.

Perhaps she would have rended Weed as well, but Ussal sent a stream of acid at her, and she was forced to duck and cover herself with her arms. Then she was flung backward, away from the little vegepygmy.

Myrral heard from his Dao-bottle, Keshma said (though her voice sounded far away and echoed),"If you wish to ask me to perform a second task, I will happily help to crush these witches."
