D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[FitzTheRuke]

Enseth & Tommi

Enseth joined the fray, hurling the head of one of the hobgoblin captains down the stairs and then turning his attention on the old worg. He hammered it in the side as ORB3 buzzed about its head. Then Tommi slid under the beast and slit it open with General Shorgg's big cleaver. The old worg cussed, coughed, and then fell over dead.

Chef & the Goblins

The hobgoblin head bounced down the stairs and the hobgoblin chef ignored it as he ran up them. On the other hand, the three goblins behind him stopped in their tracks when they saw the head and the stared wide-eyed and frightened.

Titus & Morwin

Sensibly worried that a Red Wizard might have some dangerous spells at his call, Titus began to usher the Julkounians down the stairs and across the room, suggesting that they seek cover. He sent his familiar, Morwin to harass the hobgoblin chef.

Theggar Grynn vs Tarthagal

Spotting a chance to take out the chef, Tarthagal spun his swords and leapt over the fallen worg, heading for the stairs. Suddenly the Red Wizard stepped out into the hall from the T-junction and sent three bursts of fire hurtling past the frightened goblins. Flames burst about the elf scout, singing him badly. He was forced to give up going after the hobgoblin and take cover at the top of the stairs instead.

Round 2

Angis growled in pain as the warg’s jaws closed on him, but he managed to keep his spell up. However, weakened by his prior injuries, he couldn’t maintain his feet and the warg slammed him into the ground.

However, the others finished the warg off and Angis dragged himself to his feet again. “Bluidy beast,” he muttered, kicking the warg. He moved his mark to the goblin chef as he strode forward. His two axes cleaved at the chef and the other leading goblin in the corridor.

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi watches as his stone knocks the Warg to the floor. As it drops, he sees the looming figure of the chef behind it.

"One more," he says, rushing towards him and tossing another stone, underhanded towards it, before pressing himself into the shadows.

OOC: Move to L8. Attack: vs Chef. [roll0]. If a hit, damage (since there's an ally on the other side, SA counts) = [roll1].) Bonus action: Hide: [roll2].

Enseth steps over the worg's body and, using the Cheff as cover smashes him.

[gargoyleking]

Dandin eyes the chef and notes the greasy apron before breaking out into laughter. "Oh, now they're sending their cooks after us? This is rich, what next, the 'skullery goblins? We killed your general, best run away. Wizard or no, we're coming through!"

The last part came out a bit more high pitched than Dandin's already tenor voice usually sounded.

OOC: Viscious Mockery on the chef. DC 13 wis or [roll0] psychic damage. Can I throw out a random intimidation check as well? See if we can't encourage mr Wizard to rethink his position? If so... Intimidation [roll1][/roll]

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The hobgoblin chef was struck with one of Tommi's stones. As he staggered on the stairs, and tried to clear his vision, he was soundly mocked by Dandin. He glanced up in anger in time to have his head smashed in by Enseth. The goblins fled in terror, screeching as Enseth continued down the stairs, his programming compelling him to seek out the Red Wizard.

The elves shot the goblins dead as they ran. The Red Wizard saw the shield guardian coming for him, and he seemed to recognise the construct. He had a look of surprise and fear on his face as he cast a spell, weaving his wand around his person. Suddenly he shimmered for a moment, and then disappeared. The only sign of him was the soft sound of rapid footfalls heading back down the cellar hall.

OOC: Fight's over. Gotta get this game unstalled. Wizard is invisible and running. Enseth will certainly want to pursue, but he may be able to override his programming to save the prisoners first and then try to track the wizard down. It's up to you all.

 

[Kobold Stew]

OOC: I see this as Fradak's call -- Tommi will follow his lead.

 

[Fradak]

Target invisible and running. Odds to reacquire the target later - very low.

Firing solution ready.

Enseth burns his last spell slot to fire an energy ray along the corridor. With the help of ORB3. According to his calculations, he has his chances to hit the Wizard and then, give a perfect target to Tommi.

OOC: If Enseth is able to localise the wizard by sound, he takes the shot. With ORB3 giving advantage it cancel the disadvantage. Guiding Bolt: [roll0] [roll1]
