D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[Fradak]

As the New Alliance regroups behind the burned cottages, Enseth analyses the situation. "My strategic algorithm informed me that we are facing a fortified position, the alarm has been triggered and we have some injured companions. We are not at our advantage here. I suggest we find a safe location to establish a base camp, take some time to heal up and get some intels about our enemies before taking any decisions.

On the other hand, an offensive strategy would be to use their own trap against them. Taking advantage of this smoke cloud blocking their vision we could hide in those cottages and wait for them, as they'll certainly come here to check the bodies, and eliminate some of their forces."

“Depends ‘ow big a force they send oot,” Angis reminded Enseth. “They know our numbers. We know they got a lot o’ gobbies in there. We shuild pull back an’ assess the fortifications. Mebbe find some refugees tha’ know the town. Mebbe capture a gobbie t’ interrogate.”

Angis coughed violently again from smoke inhalation.

OOC: How long does the Poisoned condition last?

"Understood. I'm happy with the defensive solution.

Lady Averiel, your knowledge of the region is unequaled. Could you, please, find a good fall-back position? Far enough to avoid detection but close enough to keep an eye on the town."

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Averiel answered, "I am always partial to hiding in the woods. There is a sizable, and suitably dense-looking forest to the north. Perhaps we could head there. I believe you said your scout spotted some human prisoners in that direction, as well."

Using the smoke for cover, the group ran northward for the safety of the forest. They were happy to find that it took quite some time for the goblins to send out a search party. By then, the elves had led them quite deep into the forest, where they were able to find a spot near a clean stream to sit, clear their lungs, and rest.

They had been able to bring Hanar the mule along, but Dandin's cart had been stashed near a small woodcutter's cottage, abandoned but not burned.

OOC: You can have a short rest. The poisoned condition will end.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Once they were in the woods, Tommi spent twenty minutes coughing his lungs inside out. His eyes were running, and he drank lots of water. He was embarrassed: others were enduring the smoke inside of them better than he, but it just hurt so much.

The worst was that Averiel saw it all. By the time his eyes began to clear, there she was, watching him with eyes filled with pity. He wiped his sleeve across the thin whiskers on his face, and smiled at her.

"Ready" he said, before collapsing for half an hour for a quick rest.

OOC: HP 5/15. Spend a die and recover [roll0] = now at 13/15.

Enseth looked for a quiet place at some distance from the group. In a little clearing, the Guardian sat down, cross-legged, in front of a tree stump. He opened his chest compartment and placed the remnants of ORB1 on the improvised table. The poor thing was shattered in many pieces. Gently, Enseth removed the arrow from the little construct.

"There. Don't worry little friend, we'll be reunited soon."
Enseth ignited his finger melting torch and started mending his familiar. After a while, the metallic sphere looked like new again.

Satisfied of his work, Enseth pronounced the command word. "Boot up, ORB2!"
The drone's eye lighted up and he raised in the air. He stayed there for a moment, hovering over the stump and making funny noises.
Enseth would have smiled if only he could have done so.

"What about some goblins hunt?"
"Bleep!"

OOC: By RAW, I don't think Enseth can expend HD and cast Find Familiar as Ritual (or maybe we can short rest 2 hours). But if you you are ok, here is the HD. HD: 1D8+1 = [7]+1 = 8

OOC: I'll allow it. Tinkering with ORB2 doesn't sound all that strenuous. Worse case scenario, the rest takes longer than an hour.

 

[gargoyleking]

The retreat was rather sudden and Dandin hadn't had a chance to look for anything of value. Anything they'd managed to grab was stashed with the cart and so Dandin was nearly bored. Sitting down on a log he looked around at his friends as they tried to clear out their lungs and cleaned thwir wounds. He was no goid with the healing arts, but an old song came upon him which seemed appropriate for some reason. Thus he began quietly to sing.

OOC: Youtube video for effect.https://youtu.be/4ce3G2E6Jfk, using Song of healing to provide an extra [roll0] healing for everyone who uses at least one Hit Die during this short rest. He's trying to be quiet about it so only really singing loudly enough to be heard inside of their clearing.

 

[Kobold Stew]

OOC: Thanks to Dandin, Tommi is back to full.

 

[Archon Basileus]

Drui takes his time walking around and checking everyone else. If anyone needs help, he's eager to do so. If not, Drui finds a silent spot and remains seated, praying and meditating on the situation.


[Spending a die as well; I don't really know if he took damage from any event, but that's just in case. Thanks for the extra die, [MENTION=6865745]gargoyleking[/MENTION]! If anyone needs an extra, I'm also up for healing - I've kept it so far to be used during battle, by it's here. ]
