D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[FitzTheRuke]

Three ghost-like orcs emerged from the wall behind Titus.

"I wish I could tell you, Angis." Titus said, "But I don't really know what's going on. All I know is that I have to stop you from getting through here, while Shalendra finishes her ritual."

The conversation appeared to be over as the orc-ghosts and Titus rushed forward in the cramped quarters of the shrine-room.

OOC: I know that the Daggerfordians are in rough shape, but we're gonna have to play this one out anyway! Please try not to die. I love these characters. I will be back soon with a round-starter.

OOC: So I guess this is why I didn't get a response from Shalendra either?

OOC: So I guess this is why I didn't get a response from Shalendra either?

OOC: Yup.

 

[MetaVoid]

"I don't know you, human. This group helped. You arrived with them and were a guest here and you betray that trust. Stand aside. Shalendra will be dealt with according to the elven ways. Stand down!"

Vairar advances, his spear ready to counter any attack.

OOC: if Titus doesn't move aside Vairar will attack.

 

[Kobold Stew]

"Oh, Titus," says Tommi with pity in his eyes.

"You know we don't care about any of that. But you also know we have to stop you."

 

[Prickly Pear]

Ohh, Titus, Lionel said. You could've told me going up here! I would've listened.

“Shalendra?” Angis frowned. “Wot’d ye dae t’ the girl?” the dwarf demanded. “Wot is she up tae?” He gripped his axes and prepared himself to meet the ghostly orcs.

Titus answered Lionel with a shamed look, "I believe that you would have."

He looked at the ground, and for a brief moment it looked like he might surrender. Then suddenly his fiery-eye burst brightly and he yelled, "Yeaaah!!"

And he pointed his sword at Viarar and a bolt of eldritch energy fired from it, striking the elf's shield with a bang that echoed loudly in the confined space of the underground shrine.

OOC: Titus missed Viarar, which isn't quite as dramatic as I'd hoped, but it's better for our low-on-HP resources![spoiler="Rolls"Titus vs VairarEB1: 1D20+6 = [1]+6 = 7 for 1D10+3 = [3]+3 = 6 (miss) EB2: 1D20+6 = [8]+6 = 14 for 1D10+3 = [3]+3 = 6 (miss)

Titus. Nooo! Lionel can't believe his eyes. Titus just blasted Viarar. What is happening? ...and what are those ghostly orcs doing here?
Lionel can't face attacking Titus — he is a friend after all. Instead he focusing his attention on a ghostly orc, looking for any weaknesses.
Lionel found a spot that he could target and lifted his crossbow to aim. The bow felt very heavy but Lionel managed to take the shot.
