Escella sends another volley of blasts at the gnoll (Gn5) on the path, killing him. Then she ducks behind the tree trunk for cover against the gnoll (Gn4) creeping out to the west.

2 Eldritch blasts at gnoll5: 1D20+8 = [9]+8 = 17
1D10+3 = [5]+3 = 8
1D20+8 = [20]+8 = 28 crit
1D10+3 = [10]+3 = 13
crit: 1D10 = [6] = 6 for 27 total damage

Lionel sighed and tried again. This time he was sure he would have hit the gnoll if it wasn't for the tree that provided cover.
Well, at least nobody is shooting back at me, Lionel consoled himself. With that thought, he quickly looked over his shoulder, half expecting a giant gnoll standing there drooling.

Spoiler: Actions

Action: crossbow attack, with damage and sneak attack: 1D20+7 = [7]+7 = 14
1D8+4+3D6 = [3]+4+[2, 6, 2] = 17, which is a miss if the gnoll has cover from the trees.
Bonus Action: Cunning Action (hide): stealth check for hiding: 1D20+4 = [13]+4 = 17

Vairar holds the rope with one hand, praying as he goes. He barely moves forward, but he is now near the shore.

Spoiler: Actions

Action: guidance
Move: to W19, Guided athletics vs river: 1D20+5+1D4 = [6]+5+[3] = 14
curses! doesn't the blasted rope lower the check?!

"Those archers are pretty effective," thinks Tommi, as he looks down at the rusty blade in his hand. "Let's see what I can do."

He leaves his hiding spot and bursts across the open plain, closing the distance with incredible speed. As he does, Oh-Six leaves its spot marking one gnoll and heads for the other.

Together, they work to stab at the archer, all but killing it. Still, the monster stands, looming above Tommi with its teeth bared.

OOC: Move and (bonus) Dash to L5. Oh-Six joins. Attack Gn4 with Gutter: 1d20+6+1d4 (with adv)=23. Hit. Damage=4d6+3=21.

"End it quickly, lad!" Helgrim commands Tommi as the dwarf marches towards the gnoll archer whose arrow still sticks from his side.

"I'll be gettin' this 'un."

OOC: Move to V10. Action: Use Commander's Strike maneuver to give Tommi @Kobold Stew an immediate attack against Gn4. If it hits, add the 1d8 superiority die to the damage.

Guided athletics vs river: 1D20+5+1D4 = [6]+5+[3] = 14
curses! doesn't the blasted rope lower the check?!

OOC: Well, it makes it so that you have something to hold onto if you fail (so you don't float down the river. Besides, you made the dc, so you can dash (in difficult terrain). I have you now at W17, so you're out.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

With encouragement from Helgrim, Tommi was able to cut down one of the gnoll archers. The dwarf headed for the other, but before his short legs could get him there, Escella's blasts passed him by and took down the last of the gnolls that guarded the ford.

Vairar splashed up onto the bank, thankful to be out of the rushing current at last.

OOC: Fight's over, actually. Still need Escella and Lionel to cross, though I'll keep it quick-and-easy. Escella can eventually cross using the rope without incident. Poor Lionel needs to roll a dc10 athletics or gain a level of exhaustion with a near-drowning experience (rescued in the nick of time). I'm sorry to singly you out @Prickly Pear!

"Do we have any healing? As usually I ended up getting pincushioned somehow," Escella says.

OOC: Cannot dash, guidance took my action (and that's why I passed )
