Size: M | Speed: 30 ft. | Senses: Passive Perception 13

Affected by: Comprehend Languages (1 hour), Bless | Conditions: None[/sblock] This is bad, Devan thought as he watched the one-sided fight in the pit unfold. And he wasn't just mentally remarking about the stench in the air. It looked like Bobranthus was going to lose, which meant they'd all be forced to give up their arms and armor, and be exiled from the caves. He couldn't let that happen, or else their part of the assault on the dracolich would be annulled, endangering the other groups that were infiltrating from other approaches.

Hoping that the general din of the crowd would obfuscate his spellcasting, Devan invoked the Morninglord's power to protect himself and his teammates. If the situation was about to go pear-shaped, it was only prudent to be as ready as possible in case they had to fight their way out.

For a moment Bobranthus was down to one knee and feeling his end coming. The next he felt mysteriously rejuvenated and pushed himself back up. This creature wouldnot have so easy a meal of him. And he intended to make it pay for every bite. Laughing with renewed vigor he struck again.

OOC:

Warhammer + Battleaxe attacks (bless): 1D20+5+1D4 = [7]+5+[1] = 13
1D8+5 = [4]+5 = 9
1D20+5+1D4 = [3]+5+[2] = 10
1D8+5 = [4]+5 = 9

Coyote Code gives and Coyote Code takes away... Maybe I should be using reckless attack and taking my lumps.

No need. You have advantage because it's blind!

Location: Troglodyte Fighting Pit

Encounter: Bobranthus vs the Bug-Beast

Round Three

Bob continues to laugh as he is held aloft by the Bug-Beast. It swings him around and tries to crush him, but Bob bashes it on the head with his hammer. It's many eyes continue to blink, trying in vain to see what it's doing.

Chief Urbone, having expected his Bug-Beast to make short work of this interloper, grows suspicious. He peers at the Dispensables through his skull-helm, his eyes narrow slits...

GM:

Now that's a better round! Urbone is suspicious. You'll have to roll deception against his insight if you want him to not know you're casting spells (if you do) next round.

Sesto can see that Chief Urbone is looking around with suspicion. Sesto focusing on looking at the fight and cheering when Bobranthus bangs the bug-beast in the head with the hammer. I hope Bob can manage on his own from now... else we will be in dire trouble, indeed.

OOC:

Perception check: 1D20+4 = [20]+4 = 24

Feeling one of his blows finally strike home only served to encourage Bob. Laughing in glee he kept it up, hoping to cause some real damage to the beast.

OOC:

Warhammer + Battleaxe attacks (bless): 2D20.HIGH(1)+5+1D4 = [6, 18]+5+[2] = 25
1D8+5 = [7]+5 = 12

Location: Troglodyte Fighting Pit

Encounter: Bobranthus vs the Bug-Beast

Round Four

Bob laughs, hammering away at the enormous insect. Black ooze leaks out of wounds in it's cracked carapace.

Sesto pretends to be only watching the fight, but he spares a glance at the Troglodyte Chief Urbone. His eyes move past the troglodyte servants carrying the treasure that Urbone declared to be given to the Dispensables as an offering to the Dragon (should they win). Amongst the coins, gems, plates, and goblets, Sesto's eyes settle on an unremarkable statue, about eighteen inches tall. It depicts an armoured figure, stiff and awkward-looking, in a style similar to the much-larger obelisk that can be seen on a ledge in the back of the cavern.

The Bug-Beast makes a high-pitched squealing noise and scrambles up the side of the fighting pit, still carrying Bob. Trogs watching from above hiss in approval as Bob is lifted toward the crowd, where they hope to see him impaled on the spears which keep the fighters in the pit.

GM:

The bug-beast can see now, and will try to impale Bob on the spear-ring next round.

Pyrus tries once more to subtly send fear into the creature, to keep it away from the edge of the pit.

OOC: DC 13 or be frightened of Pyrus. Can't willingly move closer and has disadvantage on everything. No gestures, words or materials needed to cast Psionic powers.

Pretty sure Pyrus only has a couple power points left.
