D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi whistles, spins his finger around in a quick circle beside his head and points to one of the suits of armour.

OOC: If Orb 5 can Help, that gives Tommi advantage. Otherwise, next turn he'll attack a target being attacked by an ally within melee range.

"I tried to message Sir Darfin. No response. We need to get down there," Escella says.

 

[Prickly Pear]

Lionel was watching in horror how these suits of armour suddenly came to life. He watched them to understand how they were fighting... they walked clumsily but looked very sturdy. Their armour would protect them... but maybe if one aimed for the glowing eye one could inflict major damage. And with that insight, Lionel brought up his crossbow and shot carefully. The bolt skidded off the helmet without effect but there was a dint close to the eye slits.

Spoiler: Actions

Round 1
Move: To a high position on the stairs to have good view of suits of armour.

The first of the two tarnished armours pushed Vairar's pike aside and approached him, thrusting its sword at the elf who took a shallow slice to the arm before raising his pike to block with the shaft. Lionel's quarrel cracked harmlessly off the other one's helmet as it too advanced on Vairar. The thing's movements were not terribly swift and Viarar sidestepped two thrusts.

Tommi whistled, and ORB5 responded with a squeak from the fog below, and eventually returned, flying around the armours' heads.

GM: HH1 did 10 (sword) damage to Vairar. ORB5 will be there next round, though I suppose Viarar is doing just as much for Sneak Attack. I'll have ORB5 grant Tommi Advantage (Help) to make up for it.. Spoiler: Rolls Helmed Horrors' Swords HH1 vs Vairar: 1D20+6 = [18]+6 = 24 for 1D8+4 = [6]+4 = 10 HH1 vs Vairar: 1D20+6 = [8]+6 = 14 miss HH2 vs Vairar: 1D20+6 = [3]+6 = 9 miss HH2 vs Vairar: 1D20+6 = [3]+6 = 9 miss

Gritting his teeth, Vairar calls upon the power of storm within, but restrains himself at the last moment seeing the tiny construct hovering behind the armors. Shrugging, he uses the orbs distraction to his advantage.

Shatterspike hits the armor that hit Vairar moments before and a peal of thunder echoes in the confined space. Visible dent appears in the armor as magic of the spear works its destructive potential. The spell Vairar used also remains as a faint echo, just waiting for the construct to move through it.

OOC: I was thinking of blasting them away with thunderblast...but Orb5 would be hit too.
22 damage plus potential 8 if it moves

Spoiler: Actions

Shatterspike vs armor that hit Vairar 2d20.HIGH(1)+6=[11,17]+6=23; damage 2d10+1d8+3=[7,8]+[4]+3=22; thunder damage 2d8=[1,7]=8

Angi dropped his crossbow and moved up beside Vairar as he drew his two battleaxes. Unfortunately, his axes clanged ineffectually against the plate armor.

Escella Bok
AC 14; HP 19/33; HD 1/1d8 2/5d6 PP18 SS 4/4 1/3 2/2 SP 5/5

Escella moves to the top of the next stairs down and sends two Eldritch blasts at the armor that is most damaged, returning to her missing ways.

Blasts at the armor: 1D20+8 = [1]+8 = 9
1D10+3 = [3]+3 = 6
1D20+8 = [8]+8 = 16
1D10+3 = [8]+3 = 11

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi moves himself around the southern end of the grand staircase and lobs a stone at the metal suit. He hears it land just below the creature's raised visor and hears the stone rattling back and forth within the armour suit until it settles in the thing's foot.

"Yes!" the boy exclaims, absurdly proud of himself, before he steps back.

OOC: Move+Bonus: I think I need to move 40' for a clear shot (say to AH 64). Attack: 1d20+7 with advantage=25. Damage = 4d6+4=23 Magical bludgeoning. Remainder of 20' move back to AG65. (one stone left)

 

[Neurotic]

Just as ineffective as their living enemies, the constructs get in one anothers way, dinging against the walls, bouncing off each other, scratching against the balustrade, and pinging off the priests magical weapon.

After the fussilade of swings, the priest only feels the blessing of his goddes in the form of the moving air from near misses.

Horror attacks vs Vairar: 1D20+6 = [8]+6 = 14
1D8+4 = [4]+4 = 8
1D20+6 = [10]+6 = 16
1D8+4 = [5]+4 = 9
