D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[FitzTheRuke]

While everyone shuffled into better positions from which they could assault the hyena-worg patrol, Vairar prayed for covering fog, which rolled in from the underbrush. Slowly the fog filled a small area that obscured the southern worg, and covered the path that led to the gnoll camp.

Escella, Lionel, and Helgrim sent their bolts and quarrels at the northern worg, who had yet to notice anything amiss. The ugly oversized hyena fell dead on the ground.

Tommi had found a perfect hiding spot in a little hollow at the base of the rocky cliff. Unfortunately, it was also the best way down to the clearing where the worgs had been patrolling, and Lunn followed him, not bothering to mask his heavy bootfalls. The big half-orc flung an axe into the fog, and struck the worg in there.

The worg took a brief moment to figure out where the axe had come from, but then bolted through the fog. It found Lunn coming down the ledge and it leaped clear over Tommi's little hollow to chomp at Lunn's leg and tried to drag the big half-orc downhill over the rocks.

Only a small amount of noise had been made so far; nothing that would carry of the sound of the owlbear's roaring hoots.

OOC: Worg1 is dead; Worg 2 took 6 from Lunn and will do 8 back unless Lunn has his shield readied. If Lunn isn't wearing his shield, he'll also need to roll a dc14 strength save or be dragged prone.

Spoiler

Worg2Bite vs Lunn: 1D20+6 = [11]+6 = 17 for 2D6+4 = [3, 1]+4 = 8

Escella sends a pair of Eldritch Blasts at the remaining Worg. She then moves 30 feet north to M23.

EB at Worg2 : 1D20+8 = [18]+8 = 26
1D10+3 = [5]+3 = 8
1D20+8 = [17]+8 = 25
1D10+3 = [3]+3 = 6 14 damage to worg2

 

[JustinCase]

Cursing softly as he sees the surviving worg attack his companions, Helgrim takes a few steps forward and shoots his crossbow again.

This time his aim is much better, and the bolt drops the creature dead.

OOC: Move to Q-27 to get a better shot, then shoot at the worg: 1D20+3 = [18]+3 = 21 (hit) 1D10 = [9] = 9 damage Which is enough to kill it.

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: @JustinCase stat block says it has 21 hp (now only 3)

Lunn swings his axe into the beast drawing blood. He sidesteps the retaliatory bite and quickly slides along the beasts flank. He both positions himself to intercept gnolls that eventually come and makes it harder for the beast to focus on all of them surrounding it.

Spoiler: Actions

Move: W27 - going through Tommi and around the worg without provoking
Action: Hit for 9
Attack vs Worg; damage: 1D20+6 = [7]+6 = 13
1D8+3 = [6]+3 = 9
1D20+6 = [6]+6 = 12
1D8+3 = [6]+3 = 9

 

[JustinCase]

OOC: @JustinCase stat block says it has 21 hp (now only 3)

OOC: But Escella's 14 damage plus Helgrim's 9 means it's already dead before Lunn's attack...

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: But Escella's 14 damage plus Helgrim's 9 means it's already dead before Lunn's attack...

OOC: Missed jmucchiello 's post wow! Thanks. @FitzTheRuke ignore the attack, move Lunn to Z29 and Dodge Action

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi is stunned by his comrade's impulsiveness -- he had been so good at holding back, hiding. As he had thought was the plan. As he thought was expected. And already both worgs are killed. He considers waiting for the criticisms to be voiced, the way they always are when he he acts first. But they do not come.

Oh, well.

He decides to use the magical mist that has appeared as cover, in order to cross to the trees on the other side. The boy is fast.

OOC: Move+Dash+Bonus Dash 90' to AM31. Oh-Six keeps pace.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The worgs were down, no one was hurt, and the gnolls were still unaware of their presence. For once, their planned attack seemed to be working.

OOC: Should I assume that anyone who hasn't mentioned it moves downhill?

 

[jmucchiello]

OOC: Escella is planning to move to the 8/9/10 W/X/Y area. That's we she start moving north.
