OOC: Well I had to do the concentration check and the strength of the grave check immediately, so....

OOC: Well I had to do the concentration check and the strength of the grave check immediately, so....

OOC: Yup! No worries.

 

[MetaVoid]

Vairar stabs forward toward the approaching orc, his magical spear easily piercing feeble defenses of the common grunt. Fury of Aerdrie Faenya surrounds the soldier forcing him to stop or hope he can survive a thunder wall waiting for him to pass through. But the first strike is more than enough to kill the charging orc and the energy dissipates as Vairar steps through it and over the dead body, rushing to help against other orcs.

"Drop that damned darkness! I cannot heal who I cannot see! Talynen, rise, your lord needs you!"

In full charge the elf priest runs the orc threatening Angis fully through with the tip of the spear even going through the back plate of the armor.

[Neurotic]

Talynen blinks his eyes open and spies the orc looming over him, but already falling from the eldritch blast.
Nodding at the priest, he gets up leaving his bow on the floor. shoots at the only visible orc in the room still standing

Drawing the rapier, he makes a quick flourish, deceptively harmless as the first swing is easily caught on the orcs weapon. Until the elf nimbly pivots the weapon and stabs the orc into the neck over the weapon and under the helm.

Spoiler: Action

Move: get up
Re-read, ORc 9 is alive and in melee, so no short bow action
Move: retreat - I skimmed through the posts, I hope I got the right one

1D6+3 = [1]+3 = 4
1D20+5 = [11]+5 = 16
1D6+3 = [5]+3 = 8

Rapier attack vs Orc9; damage: 1D20+4 = [3]+4 = 7
1D8+2 = [8]+2 = 10
1D20+4 = [16]+4 = 20
1D8+2 = [4]+2 = 6
1D20+4 = [16]+4 = 20
1D8+2 = [8]+2 = 10

hit for 6 and 10 - if 6 drops the orc 9, move up to 15' and attack if another orc is visible

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Standing at the edge of the darkness bubble, Vairar thrust his pike through and caught an orc under its helmet. It fell to the ground. He woke Talynen, who finished off another orc, freeing Angis and Escella. The last of the orcs were obscured by the darkness bubble.

OOC: Okay, so Vairar dropped O8 and Talynen dropped O9.

GM: End Round Five; Begin Round Six

OOC: Escella has gone, but if she shoots EB at an orc in the darkness, she has advantage. @jmucchiello you could just redo your turn if you like, or just roll the advantage, or I'll just use your previous against a new target.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi lies in a heap. Orb 5 is a few metres away from him, as the room adjusts itself again.

OOC: Death save: 1d20=12. Pass (1/0).

 

[jmucchiello]

OOC: the prior rolls were 17s weren't they? So I'll do advantage for them both just to check for crits Advantage on 17s already rolled: 1D20+8 = [11]+8 = 19 1D20+8 = [6]+8 = 14

Escella Bok

After shooting at the orc, Escella drops the darkness. "You don't have to yell, it is a small room again." She takes a step back, just 5 feet.

Morning
Round 6

Angis watched the last orc around him go down and was starting to wipe the blood from his axes when Escella dropped the magical darkness.

“Nine ‘Ells!” Angis exclaimed, suddenly finding himself face to face with another orc. The dwarf was quicker on the uptake than the orc as he circled to the orc’s side so he could engage a second orc as well, and hacked into them both with his axes, killing the first orc with three blows, but missing the strike on the second orc.

[FitzTheRuke]

Escella dropped the orc who had been pounding at the wall where the portal had been and stepped back, allowing the darkness bubble to dissipate. The room was dim, softly lit by some unseen magic. Angis hacked down an orc and pressed forward. The next orc turned on him, first blocking his axe swing, and second laying him out with a glancing blow that looked worse than it was, but dropped the dwarf to the ground, dazed and bleeding.

OOC: Angis killed O3, but took 5 from O2 (knocking him to 0); Escella killed O4. Leaves O1 (who hasn't gone yet) and O2 (who has). Vairar, Lionel, and Talynen have yet to go. Spoiler: Rolls O2 vs Angis Sword: 1D20+5 = [19]+5 = 24 for 2D6+3 = [1, 1]+3 = 5
