D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[Neurotic]

Sergeant Ryallan sees beyond the gate once he gets on his feet.
"Help is coming! Hold on! By the Seldarine, HOLD!" bellows the sergeant.

He pulls back from the door, readying his weapon, drawing an arrow from the quiver.
"Vairar! Back! Fool priest!"

One guard pulls back from the northern window. One guard shoots at one of the orcs back and moves away from the archers line of sight. Third one remains on the floor, blood pooling under him.

The large orc who rode the great bull retreated a few steps and he called to the other orcs to put an end to this elf and his priestly magics. Though harried by the elf-host, the orcs surrounded Vairar, and they swung their axes with ferocious intent. Vairar spun around, staying low under the protection of his shield and he successfully fended off each and every blow as they rained down on him.

OOC: Worked better than expected! Now all of you, charge!

 

[Prickly Pear]

Lionel checked the condition of the fallen Sun Elf guard but there was nothing he could do to save her. The blood loss was too great and she was dead.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi's been called a fool before, and he hears the imprecations form the stranger's voice as the boar he is fleeing is suddenly grabbed by vines emerging from the path. There is fear on the creature's face, and on the face of its rider.

There is fear on Tommi's face, too, but for a moment he thinks that he may live long enough to be called a fool again.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Dandin hesitated. He was feeling shaken by the state of things; the chaos and uncertainty. In addition, he was unsure if it was reasonable of him to send Ol'Sooty out to meet the orc's arrow-fire. He had only just gained the bear's trust. But things were desperate, and he didn't want to let the others down. He steeled his resolve and stepped through the portcullis, firing an arrow to show teeth, that felled one of the orcs. Then he waved for Ol'Sooty to charge.

The bear did exactly as he asked, rushing on all fours through the rubble of the destroyed door and coming up alongside Vairar. When he reached the crowd of orcs that surrounded the elf, the bear plowed into them. He lifted one clear of the ground and shook the orc like a rag-doll before tossing the lifeless body aside.

As Dandin had feared, this got the attention of one of the orc archers, who put two arrows into the bear's side. Ol'Sooty roared in pain, anger and frustration; a terrifying sight to behold.

In the south tower, Escella had just arrived through the door when an arrow sailed through the broken outer wall and grazed her. Lionel was practically in the fireplace, taking cover from the many arrows.

On the roof, Angis had taken up his crossbow again, but his hay-bale cover was not as effective now that it had been kicked over by the ogress. An archer fired a well-placed arrow that struck the grizzled dwarf hard in the arm, making reloading the crossbow a painful affair.

I can't tell. What are the creatures in arrow slits 2 and 4 and are they alive?

OOC: That's rubble - difficult terrain from broken doors/walls! I guess I should put that in the (General Features) bit!

 

[Kobold Stew]

Looking back over his shoulder, Tommi sees the vines grow and embrace the boar that is chasing him across the road, and he hears the melodious voice of the bird-now-an-elf who is standing beside him, upbraiding him with the most attractive angry voice he has ever heard.

"Nice to meet you," he says, as he turns to face his pursuer. On his left he hears a tiger roar, and on his right there is a scream of a bear. The boar he is staring at is being strangled by a vine, and there's blood on Tommi's shoes, and in them as well.

On top of the boar sits the rider scowling at Tommi, or at the woman standing beside him. Tommi's hair is in his eyes, and it's matted down with blood as well, but the boy is reaching for a stone and loading his sling, which with a single underhand swing he launches towards the boar rider.

OOC: Attack: 1d20+5=17. Damage=1d4+2=5, +3d6 (if Orb5 is there; presuming that's the case total = 17 bludgeoning. Move: no move. Bonus: Dodge (in case the archers turn towards him and fire).

Round 7

Angis grunted as he took an arrow in the arm. His cover had been demolished by that damn ogress. He yanked the arrow out of this arm and tossed it aside, grabbing the next large bolt, and loading the crossbow again.

Angis had lost track of Tommi in a sudden dense tangle of vines that had appeared in the road, so he drew his aim to another large creature on the battlefield, the aurochs that one of the orcs was riding.
