D&D 5E (2014) (IC) Scourge of Daggerford

[MetaVoid]

OOC: I thought I was just about to duck behind the corner - given the position of others, I should have said S38. For some reason I thought we're at rows 27/28

Vairar readies his pike.
"Come then, die like the rest!"

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I thought I was just about to duck behind the corner - given the position of others, I should have said S38. For some reason I thought we're at rows 27/28

OOC: Ah. Easy enough mistake. It's honestly no big deal, gang. If you say "I go X" and I put you there and it's wrong, just say "I go Y" or even "On the way to X, I changed my mind and stopped at Y" and I'll adjust it. We don't usually even need to backtrack, when we can tweak, if you get what I mean.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Vairar and Escella's words made the hyena worg hesitant to get into it with them. He stayed around the corner, howling a warning to others nearby. Not only was he likely to be revealing their position, but he seemed to be guarding something other than the entrance to the lodge.

 

[Prickly Pear]

The doors are barricaded, said Lionel as he let go of the window. There are two armed gnolls guarding the door too. I think it will be difficult to get in, unless we can brake the bar across the door. It's definitely looks like it is the main entrance though.
Lionel too scurried around the corner.

OOC: move to S36-ish

 

[FitzTheRuke]

As the group began to gather in front of the lodge's main doors, Lionel let them know that the door was barred and guarded. Vairar and Escella were keeping an eye on the hyena-worg, who continued to howl out a warning that revealed their position.

From down the corridor between the buildings, Vairar, Escella, and Oh-six saw the doors to the stables burst open and a group of gnoll archers poured out, taking positions of cover from which they could defend the lodge.

OOC: Okay, we've been stalled long enough. I'll throw a fight to (hopefully) get us going again. I haven't had posts from @Neurotic or @JustinCase in a bit. I hope you're both still with me. Anyone who doesn't like where I've put you on the map, just tell me where you move to as part of your first turn. Here goes.

Vairar moves back behind the wall, still holding the pike at the ready to skewer gnolls (or whatever) rushing at him.

"Swarm incoming! Get those doors open! Escella, shoot and move back."

"That was my plan." She steps out. Sees the gnoll behind the tree and blasts it with two blasts. She then follows Vairar back toward the doors.

EB Gnoll 1: 1D20+8 = [13]+8 = 21
1D10+3 = [3]+3 = 6

Tommi re-charges his stones, and loads one in his sling, but takes no other action this round.

 

[Neurotic]

Lunn shrugs at the alert and swings his axe at the doors in front of him. He keeps the shield ready as he expects arrows and bolts at the first sign of an opening.
