D&D 5E (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[Prickly Pear]

Lionel thought that he too could sneak out to get a good vantage point on the gnolls. He followed Tommi as quiet as he could and kept his crossbow ready.

Does hidden creatures get advantage on attacks?

A while back...
Vairar sighs "Of course it had to be dwarves." he thinks as he introduces himself to the grizzled warrior.

As he and the orc removed themselves from the company - what a weird thought! - he worked slowly, tired after all the tribulations.
When the challenge came he nods at Lunn
"It seems you and I are again together. Don't run off. If you will hold them away, I can use Shatterpike. Otherwise I'd take the shield too."

Vairar looks over the monsters calling out, but doesn't show himself, reviewing the spells left to him.

OOC: I'll assume Lunn confirms he will be in the breach @Neurotic Also, I'm still owing some redesign due to errata, I'll write a proposal by the end of the week

The oversized hyena turned in circles down by the old road, growing impatient. Lunn and Vairar followed the foundation, staying low, until they were hunkered down in a pile of stones near where a grand entrance had once stood. Lionel joined Tommi under the tree out front, where they could see the gnolls slowly creeping forward, searching for targets among the rubble.

Escella knew the place well, and she moved to a spot where she had a wide-range of vision, and yet could not be seen from down by the road. This proved fortunate, as she heard some rustling in the undergrowth behind the lodge, and counted three gnolls moving toward them from behind, hidden deep in the shadows of the growing darkness.

OOC: No one attacked, including the gnolls, this round, so I'll roll it forward. Feel free to post any questions in the OOC.

Escella Bok
AC 14; HP 20/33; HD 0/1d8 0/5d6 PP18 SS 4/4 3/3 2/2 SP 2/5

Escella moves to n15 and casts Darkness in that spot using 3 sorcery points, 2 to enable her to see through the darkness and 1 to cast the spell silently and gesturelessly. As she walks past Helgrim she whispers, "Two gnolls and a flind are coming from that direction."

 

[Prickly Pear]

Lionel, who haven't yet noticed the gnolls behind him, whispers to Tommi; If you take the right archer then I will take the left one. Let's fire at the same time. On three, Lionel let the bolt fly and, in the dim light, he could see that it hits the gnoll. The knoll was badly injured but was still standing.
Quickly, Lionel moved to another tree further south and tried to hide behind it. The tree was small but so was he, too.

Spoiler: Actions

Action: Crossbow attack, with damage and sneak attack: 2D20.HIGH(1)+7 = [6, 10]+7 = 17
1D8+4+3D6 = [6]+4+[3, 5, 2] = 20
Move: to V30
Bonus Action: Cunning action (hide) Stealth check: 1D20+4 = [20]+4 = 24

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi's eyes go wide -- he's nowhere near close enough to hit anything with his sling, and he's shaking his head no as Lionel fires. Suddenly desperate, he charges three stones, and moves to where he can lob one of them at the target Lionel just hit.

OOC: BOnus action: Magic Stone (3 stones left). Lionel has just attacked AJ23 (I think). Tommi can't get SA on either right now, so he will Move to Y20 (where he'll be able to be seen), and then Attack AJ23 as well (range 60', no SA): 1d20+7=25 HIT damage=1d6+4=9 killing it, I believe. Tommi is not hiding now

 

[Neurotic]

Reckless, but without barbarian damage resistance

 

[JustinCase]

Nodding to Escella as the magical darkness passes him by, Helgrim smiles tightly. Ah yes, these are certainly capable adventurers; young and inexperienced, but working together and utilising their strengths.

He laughs when he hears a gnoll get hit by something -- a bolt, and a pebble, possibly? -- and the battle is on.

Counting on the others to take the lead, Helgrim instead turns back to where the flind and the other two gnolls are, hoping to catch them off guard in their poor attempt at an ambush. While moving up to where Escella just came down from, the old dwarf produces his heavy crossbow and when he's in position, he spots one of the gnolls and fires a bolt at it.

OOC: Move to where Escella was (m22?), shoot heavy crossbow at the closest gnoll (g27): 1D20+3 = [14]+3 = 17 1D10 = [9] = 9 piercing damage

 

[Neurotic]

Lunn curses at the young human and than surprises himself realizing he agrees with the stuck up elf at some level.

Regardless, he runs out standing in front of Tommi and winding up the axe, ready to attack whatever comes close enough.
