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

Agreeing with Vairar, Escella curses them for leaving the shelter. There could have been a dozen archers out there or multiple worgs and flinds. She shakes her head as she sends two blasts at the gnolls on Helgrim. The one barely holding on by a thread dodges the blast somehow. The other one dies as the blast rips into it.

EBs again Gnolls 3 and 4, one blast each: 1D20+8 = [2]+8 = 10 misses gnoll 3
1D10+3 = [10]+3 = 13
1D20+8 = [12]+8 = 20 kills gnoll 4
1D10+3 = [5]+3 = 8

"Focus on the others, lass!" Helgrim scolds as one of the gnolls in front of him gets ripped apart by Escella's magic, the old warrior not willing to admit out loud she did a fine job. Crushing the remaining gnolls skull with his hammer, the dwarf does not wait for it to drop to the ground before sprinting towards where he saw the flind cross the river.

OOC: Thanks @jmucchiello ! Helgrim's just a grumpy old dwarf. Warhammer attack on gnoll 3: 1D20+7 = [17]+7 = 24 1D8+6 = [4]+6 = 10 Then Move as straight for the flind as possible (avoiding difficult terrain if it's not too far out).

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Escella dropped one of the gnolls towering over Helgrim, and the old dwarf took out the other. Clambering over the old foundation, the dwarf set out at a run as fast as his short legs could go, heading to help Lionel against the largest, scariest of their opponents. He didn't get far.

OOC: Basically what it says. Gn3 & G4 are down.

 

[MetaVoid]

OOC: PbP problem, If I knew he moved first, I'd simply go for Dodge action But since I got to him, all's well.

 

[Prickly Pear]

Lionel had dropped his crossbow. No, you can do this! he told himself. You know where to strike. Lionel managed to convince himself that this was just a big bad dog and nothing to fear as he drew his sword. Just put it in its place.
Lionel waited for the moment the flind swung his flail behind it and then sliced the big bad dog in the leg. The flind did not seem to notice the cut and kept swinging and setting up a devastating blow. Lionel feinted left and right, and then turned and ran towards Dornuk and Tommi.

Spoiler: Actions

Note: The flind has yet to roll his Charisma (deception) check against Lionel's Insightful Fighting roll, which was 21 (post 2611). Insightful Fighting lasts for a minute until done again on a different target.
Action: Short sword attack and damage, incl sneak attack damage: 1D20+7 = [8]+7 = 15
1D6+4+3D6 = [4]+4+[2, 1, 1] = 12
Bonus Action: Cunning Action - Disengage
Move: 30' to AD24, or so.
Reaction: Uncanny Dodge

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Lionel stabbed the big gnoll, ducked, and ran. The flind ran after him, swinging its flail overhead and howling like mad laughter. It slammed the spikey heads into Lionel's back, and the halfling rolled forward, lessening the impact. Even still, his back stung painfully from the blow.

OOC: Lionel did 12 to the Flind and took 11(5 after dodging) and another 7 poison if he fails a dc13 con save.

Spoiler: Rolls

Flinddc21 Cha Check: 1D20+3 = [15]+3 = 18 fail
Flail vs Lionel: 1D20+5 = [18]+5 = 23 for 1D8+3 = [8]+3 = 11 and 2D6 = [5, 2] = 7 poison
Flail vs Lionel: 1D20+5 = [4]+5 = 9

 

[Prickly Pear]

OOC: Yes, Lionel uses his reaction for Uncanny Dodge. Also, Lionel is a Stout Halfling, so: Stout Resilience​ You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage. Con save against Poison (advantage roll): 2D20.HIGH(1)+3 = [12, 7]+3 = 15 So, Lionel saved and takes no poison damage, right?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Looks like Lionel led the Flind into a trap. The Flind is currently at AD25, so @Neurotic Lunn can reach him with a single move. @Kobold Stew Tommi can't, but he's got his sling. And @MetaVoid has caught up to Gnoll1. All three of you need to go for me to roll the round.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi doubles back to where Lionel is, and launches the remaining stone at the massive jackal creature. His sling is twisted, though, and he is unable to load it properly and the stone drops to the ground uselessly.

OOC: Apologies. Don't think Oh-Six can arrive in time to provide Help, but SA comes from Lionel being adjacent. Move and bonus Dash to AD26. Attack: 1d20+7=8. Fumble.
