D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[Neurotic]

Lunn starts forward, stops as he feels movement behind him, realizes it is only Vairar, starts again, startles as the pike flashes next to him and he fails to take swing at the gnoll, almost knocking himself over with all the twisting as he moved.

[FitzTheRuke]

Things were not going well for the Daggerfordians. The gnoll on the opposite buiding's roof, stood by the Phylund lith and howled, high-pitched and loud. It would certianly awaken any gnolls who were not already alerted. Still, the small group pressed on, moving into the lodge's entry hall.

Though there was only one gnoll guard inside, he frustrated their efforts to put him down, leaping from side-to-side. He avoided Vairar's pike while using Lunn's momentum against him, and used the open door to ward off some of the dwarves' axe-blows. Though it was only a matter of time before they finished him, the gnoll laughed through pointed teeth, apparently fearless against overwhelming odds.

As Escella, Lionel, and Tommi retreated into the foyer, the archers gave chase. Bounding past them, Lionel was leaped upon by an oversized, mutated gnoll, who ragdolled the unfortunate halfling, who could only go limp to avoid the worst of the biting and thrashing. The archers fired over this mess, into the entry hall, and got Grottur in the shoulder before the dwarf was able to spin and defend. Escella too, was pierced, though not badly, by arrows.

Oh-Six buzzed next to Tommi in the corner of the room and said, "Calculate tactical/safety recommendation: Close the doors!"

OOC: Rotten round for the party! Escella did 5 to GA4. Helgrim did 13 & Grottur did 5 to GG2. BigGnoll1 did 25 to Lionel (taking Uncanny Dodge into account). Archers did 9 to Escella & 3 to Grottur. Guard got Helgrim for 6.

Escella Bok
AC 14; HP 24/33; HD 1/1d8 2/5d6 PP18 SSdc 13 Slots 3/4 1/3 1/2 SP 4/5 Not-Inspired

Escella casts a Chaos bolt (3rd level) at the big gnoll. It hits. She then gets behind Tommi near the wall (T38).

Chaos bolt, spending inspiration: 2D20.HIGH(1)+6 = [15, 14]+6 = 21
Chaos bolt, spending inspiration: 2D8+3D6 = [5, 2]+[3, 6, 3] = 19 damage is lightning. (Terrible damage for 5 dice)

"I'll finish here, go, help Lionel!"
elf priest shouts before stabbing his pike deep into the jumping gnoll. The pike empties spells charge into the already limp body for good measure, muffled thump is heard as it vaporizes its internal support. Gnoll guard slides of the pike in a boneless heap.

"Not yet, Lionel, hold on!" his encouragement is laced with healing words of magic as some of the wounds on the halfling close.
He follows the group to block entrance into the room and provide support to those trying to close the door.

"The door is broken, how will that help us?!" shouts the warrior.
"Let's just kill the big one!" but his combat (un)luck continues as he swings too slow, careful not the carve into Lionel, but he tries to hook the axe behind the halfling and pull him out of the big brutes grasp.

OOC: rolled athletics, but ignore if you feel it shouldn't be bonus action, missed the attack

That beast came up quickly on Lionel and he got badly hurt by the savage attacks. Lunn's soothing words helped and Lionel could focus on the oversized gnoll. The drew his shortsword an stabbed at the gnoll before retreating inside the manor.

"Close them durn doors," Helgrim snaps, as the ancient dwarf steps forward to prevent the monstrous gnoll from coming after Lionel. With an ease honed through years and years of experience, he moves to the creature quickly and rapidly slashes with his battleaxe twice, each drawing blood.

Then, satisfied, he steps back in time for the doors to close between them and the enemies outside, helping to hold them closed if need be.

OOC: Sorry for my absence! Hopefully these rolls make up for it a bit. Attack with battleaxe: 1D20+7 = [18]+7 = 25 (hit) for 1D8+6 = [3]+6 = 9 damage Extra attack: 1D20+7 = [16]+7 = 23 (hit) for 1D8+6 = [7]+6 = 13 damage

 

[MetaVoid]

OOC: A bit in advance, but we're blocking the area so...maybe?

Vairar nods as everyone retreats behind the door line. "Come, Lunn, back!" He stabs at the big gnoll with by-now-familiar rumbling sonic attack, keeping the big gnoll (hopefully) from following them inside

Action: Attack vs big gnoll; damage; booming blade damage: 1d20+6 = [17]+6 = 23; 1d10+3+1d8 = [9]+3+[6] = 18; 2d8 = [3,6] = 9
