D&D 5E (IC) Rise of the Dracolich

Eastern Lair

The two troll brothers, Oogabooga and Oodnadatta were determined not to let the foul undead versions of their kin to get away, and both chased after the drowned trolls, swiping ineffectually at their backs as they chased. The brother came together shoulder-to-shoulder as the undead moved into a narrow fissure between the northern wall of the lair and the ridge that ran down the middle. They jostled for position yelling, "Eye goddim, geddoudda me way!" and "No, eye goddim, yooz geddoud!"

Meanwhile, clinging to a large spike of ice, Blurcho flung a chunk of ice which shattered and scattered across the floor between the group of cultists, who leaped into action. Two of the cultists spread their cloaks and flew into the air, landing atop one ice-shelf and another. One was right above Blurcho, and he thrust down at the troll with a sword, which Blurcho bat away with his claws.

Arrufel emerged from the northern cavern, and Mord saw him for the first time - an enormous white-striped catfolk with dragonhorns and glowing eyes, he growled at the trolls, and Mord (in his ice-hunter disguise), "How dare you betray your dragon master! Stand down now, or face the wrath of Icy Death, and those loyal to him!"

Sargloth understood none of that, and staying true to the original plan, rushed the big cultist, who dodged and side-stepped all but one of the troll's vicious club-strikes. Arrufel waved an arm, and the cultist that had flow up onto a shelf fired a bow at Sargloth, but the arrows banged into the troll's whalebone shield. Then, cultists set gourd-shaped bottles of alchemical oils alight and flung them at Sargloth and Blurcho. As the bottles broke, they burst into flames around the two trolls.

"Deyz gots FIRE!" shouted one of the other trolls, "Killem quick!"

And he threw a hunk of ice at one of them, smashing the man in the chest.

Mord commanded his minion to set him down on the nearby ice shelf and then both of them to approach and interfere with the 'half-dragon-cat?', who he assumed to be the leader of the cultists. He doubted either could do anything of use just yet and so he struck out with his eldritch energy, the time for disguises was over, now he had a true target, and perhaps not one expecting a magical attack from a simple warrior.

I figure the first skelly probably has to dash to get to him for now, the other wastes it's action setting Mord down at CH 42(from which Mord takes the chance to move farther to the left, CE 42 at half pace? And then casts Eldritch Blast. Not sure if I can claim Advantage from the disguise, but I'll roll two attacks just in case.

Eldritch Blast(Adv?): 2#1d20+8 17 9 2#1d10+4 8 7 2#1d20+8 12 12
Looks like only one shot has a real chance of hitting though at this point. LOL

Loklafd could hear one of the creatures scraping it's way up the ledge, he couldn't bring himself to move in the direction of the dragon, but he could still fight. Grabbing a pair of torches from his pack he worked to get them both lit. Perhaps these creatures feard fire. Of if not that. Then maybe they could be burned.

Blurcho didn't like fire at all. No troll did. The rule was simple. Kill the thing with fire, get out of fire, heal, come back and kill some more. He gritted his teeth. It hurt so much. Killing would make him feel better.

He usually stooped, but he stretched up, his long arms having terrible reach.

attack vs flying cultist, claw claw bite: 1D20+7 = [13]+7 = 20
1D20+7 = [2]+7 = 9
1D20+7 = [10]+7 = 17


(I'm assuming that one claw and one bite hit)
Blurcho claw damage vs flying cultist: 1D6+4 = [2]+4 = 6


blurcho bite attack vs flying cultist: 2D6+4 = [5, 3]+4 = 12


OOC: Is blurcho "in" a fire or is the fire gone?

OOC:
Is blurcho "in" a fire or is the fire gone?
Blurcho is "on" fire. He's been hit with "alchemist's fire" which currently in 5e does 1d4 fire damage at the start of each of your turns until someone spends an action to make a dc10 dex check to put it out. Kind of a strange mechanic, IMO, as it's more of an action-killer than a fire threat in a lot of ways, but that's how it works. Better against trolls than nearly anything else. I wonder: When you have multiatattack (or extra attack as a PC), are you allowed to use just ONE of them to make that check, or is it expected that you waste your round?

Eastern Lair

As the drowned trolls continued to run toward the other side of the lair, Oodnadatta and Oogabooga competed to be the first to follow them. They both scrached large chunks of flesh out of the back of the undead creature as they chased. When they jostled their way through the narrowest part of the passage, they unknowingly set off a magical trap. The undead hadn't set it off, but they were subject to its effects as well, as all four creatures magically slowed in time clawing and running as if in slow motion.

Meanwhile, the fight continued in the east. Mord's troll skeleton put him down on an ice-shelf and moved to join the other as it attacked Wyrmsoul Arrufel. The strange, large hybrid cat-dragon-man drew an oversized greatsword apparently made of ice, defending himself against the skeleton and slamming the blade into Sargloth's shield. Through this, Mord fired an eldritch blast, striking the cult leader in the shoulder, which gave Sargloth an opening to pummel him with a club. The big cultist spat blood and called for aid.

A cultist on the ledge across from him fired arrows at Mord, who ducked one but was struck in the arm by the other. Two cultists came with swords to help Arrufel - one hacking at the skeletal troll while the other stabbed at Sargloth. One on the ledge near Blurcho threw another gourd of alchemist's fire at the Troll Sergeant, which burst over his helmet, setting his head on fire. The trolls howled.

On the same ledge, Blurcho reached up and grabbed a flying cultist and put him into his mouth, biting the cultist's leg while the cultist hacked at his head and shoulders with a sword. Another cultist ran to help that one, stabbing at the big troll's legs. Fire still burned Blurcho's chest, painfully searing his flesh and slowing his regenerative abilities.

A troll called, "Geddem hoos gots fire! I goddem!" and jumped up on the ice-shelf to chase the cultist who had thrown the most recent gourd. Another troll climbed up on the shelf as well, to get the cultist that had earlier struck Blurcho with flame, but was now stabbing at him.

Chaos ensued, and some of it was lit up now, by a glow which came from inside the ice that made up Wyrmsoul Arrufel's enormous greatsword, which burst shards of ice that scattered as they struck Sargloth's shield.

Primus cursed as he heard the creature coming up behind him, altering his focus so he could see in the dark once more. He turned and saw the creature, nearly on him. A quick lashing with his mind and he attempted to send it's thoughts reeling.

OOC: Bonus Action: Switch Focus back to Third Eye, so he can see in the dark. He just can't do anything without being able to see his opponents.

Action: Ego Whip (3 psi). As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The target must make a DC 16 Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d8 psychic damage, and it is filled with self-doubt, leaving it able to use its action on its next turn only to take the Dodge, Disengage, or Hide action. On a successful saving throw, it takes half as much damage.

Primus Ego Whip Damage: 3D8+5 = [3, 1, 6]+5 = 15

PP: 24/44
