D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[jmucchiello]

After the silence, Escella will fire her eldritch blasts at whomever she perceives to be the leader. If she has advantage, she will also get her sneak attack.

first eldritch blast at "the leader": 2D20.HIGH(1)+8 = [16, 11]+8 = 24
1D10+3+1D6 = [9]+3+[2] = 14 14 damage on first attack
second eldritch blast at "the leader": 2D20.HIGH(1)+8 = [20, 12]+8 = 28 CRIT
1D10+3 = [7]+3 = 10
crit: 1D10 = [8] = 8 18 total damage on second attack

Round 1.

Tommi looks at his colleagues, and the distance from which all are attacking, and he feels completely useless. He knows that he has been given instructions, and he knows he's agreed to them, but he wants to be helpful.

From where he stands, he feels he can sprint south, cross the barricades, and be positioned behind one of the tents where he'll most likely remain unseen.

He makes eye contact with Lionel beside him, says "See you in a bit.". He then and sets off, clearing the barricade in a single leap.

OOC: Move 30', Action Dash 30', Bonus Cunning Action Dash 30' -- Athletics 1d20+6=22. Should take him to U52.

Lionel was not surprised that Tommi rushed forward, weaving between bushes to stay out of sight. Lionel said Wait! and followed a few steps but stopped at the next tree. It looked like it was a good spot, being just a little closer. When the sound from the centre of the pit stopped, and Escella let her force blast loose, Lionel also sent his first bolt at the nearest orc. Seeing how surprised the orcs looked, he followed up with a second shot.

Spoiler: Actions

Move to V38 and Dash (Cunning Action) to W41, mostly through difficult terrain, and should just be within range for his light crossbow.
Action during surprise round (or whatever we want to call it ): As described in previous post, except that the disadvantage roll can be the advantage roll:

Range for the light crossbow is 80/320 and the barriers are about 80 ft away.
Crossbow attack, with damage: 1D20+7 = [8]+7 = 15
1D8+4 = [1]+4 = 5
Sneak attack, if applicable: 3D6 = [5, 4, 2] = 11
If Lionel fires while outside the range, DM's discretion, then Crossbow attack, if disadvantaged: 1D20+7 = [6]+7 = 13, but prefers to wait until next round.

Second round Bonus Action: Insightful Fighting - Insightful Fighting check: 1D20+7 = [11]+7 = 18 against target's Charisma (Deception) check to get sneak attack.
Second round Action: Crossbow attack, with damage: 1D20+7 = [6]+7 = 13
1D8+4 = [3]+4 = 7, which would hit an orc archer or orc rider , and Sneak attack, if applicable: 3D6 = [2, 1, 6] = 9
Move: staying in W41

 

[FitzTheRuke]

As the orcs began to organise, their new leader turned his back on Escella, far to the north and balancing on a branch of a tree. She fired her long range strange magical bolt, and the orc fell silently, face first into the mud of the battle pit. The orcs erupted into confusion, grabbing weapons and looking around leaderless.

Dornuk strode silently out of the smoke of a campfire, with Viarar not far behind. The big orc flung an axe at the one-eye, but the orc priest saw it coming in time to step aside, and the axe slid through the mud. Angis shouldered his crossbow and made his way through the little breach in the defensive works, following the muddy footprints of the others.

Tommi ran as fast as he could and vaulted the moat and spikes behind a tent, and was joined there by Oh-Six. Lionel wondered if he should follow his friend, or stay as he'd been instructed by Escella, who held a stern authority.

It would not be long before the orcs would rally their defense.

OOC: Okay, Escella downed the new leader. I included the surprise, so we're officially on round three. The orcs will attack this round, but you can post your turns first.

OOC: HNY, what is the black circle?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Q: What is the black circle? A: Ah yes, good question. It is the area of Vairar's silence spell.

Round 3.

Tommi thinks he has made it to the back of one of the huts unseen by the orcs, and he smiles when he sees Oh'Six hovering nearby, acting like its back is pressed up against the skins of the tent wall. He is giddily proud of himself, and wonders how he can take advantage of his position. He figures he could probably get himself onto the roof, but hesitates when a new idea pops into his head. Reaching down at the bottom of the tent wall, he lifts up the base and pulls himself under the taut skins and into the inside of the hut. Once he is underneath, he holds an opening for Oh'Six, if it wishes to follow him -- but knowing it might be more effective in an unenclosed space. "You coming?" he asks with his eyes.

Once inside, presuming he is alone, he grabs three pebbles from within his pocket and blows onto them for good luck.

OOC: Action: lift up bottom of tent and sneak inside tent? [I am presuming the walls are skins because that is what the roof looks like. If I'm wrong on that, then shimmying onto the roof is the alternative, and I can roll athletics or acrobatics]. Move: inside the tent: maybe to W or X 55 (not in front of an open tent flap) Bonus: cast Magic stone (if alone); Hide (if not alone): 1d20+8=18.

Round 3

Seeing the leader go down, Angis transferred his magical mark to the one-eyed orc priest as he strode forward, loading two more bolgsinto his heavy crossbow. He took aim, firing at the orc priest and the orc archer standing next to him.

"Youse life is mine, shaman!"
Half-orc barbarian hefts his great axe and sprints forward as vines, roots and (incogrously) flowers burst out from the trampled mud, making movements more difficult.

He swings low, catching the shaman behind the knees and then returns the swing with some extra power, cutting into the caster.
"Die!"
