Round 5

Con saves: 1D20+2 = [11]+2 = 13
1D20+2 = [6]+2 = 8

Angis grunted as he took two heavy blows from the Thayan orcs that had come through the portal. After the second blow, he felt his spell fail.

The dwarven ranger was bleeding heavily, but he was too stubborn to give up. These were orcs, Moradin damn them! Worse than the damn goblins they’d fought! He laid into them with his axes. If he was going down, he would make them hurt! The others would have an easier time.

Tommi coughs, the acrid smell still burrowing into his nostrils. He tries to thank Lionel, but his throat is burning and the raspy sound is probably inaudible. Instead, he hurriedly tries to regain his composure.

He hears Lord Darfin's voice, and his eyes, through lids half-shut with tears of pain, see his shape where he had just been. He makes his way back, bypassing the orc, and does his best to trag Lord Darfin's bound body to the center of the room.

OOC: Move/Action for 60' movement: to Darfin, (up the L column) and then to the centre. STR 10 means drag ability of 300 pounds. Bonus action for an extra 30' if needed, or else Dodge (disadvantage on attacks). HP 3.

 

[Prickly Pear]

Lionel followed Tommi's cue and helped dragging the lord to the centre of the room. Lord Darfin looked heavy and Lionel still felt weak from the previous encounter with the wights. He was sure that Tommi felt the same and needed all the help he could give.

 

[Kobold Stew]

(Thank you for reminding me about diminished strength! Great point -- Tommi can only drag 120 pounds on his own.)

 

[jmucchiello]

Escella send two Eldritch Blast at Orc9, hoping to keep Angis (and herself) alive. She calls out to Tommi and Lionel directions to get Lord Darfin to the center of the room. "To Tommi's left and Lionel's right.... That's it.... Ignore the four more orcs who've entered the room. Little further...."

Eldritch blast: 1D20+8 = [17]+8 = 25
1D10+3 = [7]+3 = 10
1D20+8 = [7]+8 = 15
1D10+3 = [5]+3 = 8

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Escella blasted the orc that had been chasing Lionel, freeing him and Tommi to see to the elf lord.

Under Escella's guidance, and with herculean effort, Lionel and Tommi dragged the bound Sir Darfin to the center of the room, cast deep in darkness. Seen only by Escella, Darfin closed his eyes for a moment and then said, in elvish, "Seal the gates."

The three magical portals closed, leaving only blank rounded walls.

Their allies cut-off and their exits closed, the remaining orcs fell into a frenzy. One of them slammed on the wall where the portal was no longer while three moved through the darkness, swinging wildly at the three there. One swung at Tommi; another's blade banged off of Sir Darfin's metal bonds; the third sword came down at Lionel.

Out in the light, Escella shot an orc with an eldritch bolt, trying to protect herself, Angis, and Talynen. The elf was down, gurgling on the ground. While her bolt blasted the orc badly, it only served to get its attention, and it turned its rage toward her.

Angis had two orcs facing him. He spat blood and buried his axe in one while side-stepping the other's sword-slash. To get his axe out, he hacked the orc again with his other axe, splitting it in two as he turned to face the other.

OOC: Yikes! Escella killed O6 & did 10 to O9, who later got her back for 12 (dropping her?); O1 got Tommi for 6 (dodged to 3, but still down? Or maybe he ran away?); O2 missed Darfin (pang!); O3 got Lionel for 11 (uncanny to 5?); Angis killed O7. I think we need @MetaVoid Vairar's help STAT! Spoiler: Rolls Orcs with greatswords! O1 vs Tommi: 2D20.LOW(1)+5 = [11, 20]+5 = 16 for 2D6+3 = [1, 2]+3 = 6 O2 vs Darfin: 2D20.LOW(1)+5 = [9, 3]+5 = 8 (actually, the bands grant advantage, so the first roll, which misses anway) O3 vs Lionel: 2D20.LOW(1)+5 = [14, 14]+5 = 19 for 2D6+3 = [2, 6]+3 = 11 O7 vs Angis: 1D20+5 = [19]+5 = 24 for 2D6+3 = [3, 5]+3 = 11 O8 vs Angis: 1D20+5 = [8]+5 = 13 miss O9 vs Escella: 1D20+5 = [18]+5 = 23 for 2D6+3 = [3, 6]+3 = 12 (down?)

 

[Kobold Stew]

Having dragged Darfin to the middle of the room, however much he dodges the Orc's attack, he is down (0HP).

Escella Bok
AC 14; HP 1/33; HD 1/1d8 2/5d6 PP18 SS 2/4 1/3 1/2 SP 5/5; STR: 6/8

Escella staggers back, dropping to one knee, managing to remain standing in spite of all the damage. She then blasts the Orc with an eldritch blast.

Escella Bok...

OOC: Nice! But we haven't rolled the round yet. Still waiting on @MetaVoid and @Neurotic, though Talynen just needs to roll a death save, which I will do if Neurotic doesn't show soon. Heck, I'll roll the round very soon if MetaVoid doesn't go as well! We'll hold your turn for then.
