D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[jmucchiello]

Escella whispers, "If they are taunting the owlbear, what are the odds some of the gnolls are ignoring the sport and are still in the tents?"

OOC: Have we observed anyone going into the tents and staying there long term recently?

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: do we have a way to free the creature from agar? Invisible servant maybe?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

On approach, they had not seen any gnolls come or go from the tents. The hyena-worgs would go until they were about two hundred feet apart, then return, pass by each other, and go that far again, in a pacing patrol.

Whatever they were up to with the owlbear was causing it much distress - it cried a sound that combined a high-pitched hoot and a growling roar.

 

[JustinCase]

"Lads, my eyes're not what they used t' be," Helgrim whispers. "Are them prisoners 'live? Describe 'em fer me."

The old dwarf dares not hope the dwarf and human in the dead tree are survivors from his caravan, and for the moment he ignores everything else.

 

[jmucchiello]

Escella flatly describes the folks hanging from the tree. She adds, "That owlbear is going to rip one of their arms off if they keep baiting it like that."

 

[Kobold Stew]

"We should be able to take out at least one of the Worgs before anyone can react; perhaps both," whispers Tommi. "OIf we draw the gnolls over here, someone should be able to free the prisoners. I'd be happy to participate in either part of that," he says, proud that this plan does not obviously mean that he goes off on his own.

 

[Prickly Pear]

I think you're right, Tommi, the worgs we can probably take out quickly, Lionel whispered back. But I think we should stick together and rescue the prisoners after the fight. Lionel followed one of the worgs and took a practice aim with the crossbow.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi nods, agreeing with his longtime friend, as he reaches into his pockets, and draws three stones, which he charges.
He loads one in his sling, and nods, determined.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

A plan was made which involved dealing with the hyena-worgs first while doing their best not to alert the gnolls.

OOC: You might as well just give that a shot.

Tommi makes his way through the bushes to the clearing, remaining hiding. As he does so Oh-six assists with the sound of bird calls.

OOC: Move and Dash in difficult terrain gets Tommi to T30. We can put Oh Six nxt to him at U30. Bonus: Hide: 1d20+8 with adv=27. (nb I initially made an attack roll thinking I could get in range, but I forgot about difficult terrain; we'll just ignore it).
