D&D 5E (IC) Vault of the Dracolich (Dispensables)

[eayres33]

Drako watches and the one door opens and the other slams shut before quickly unleashing two blasts of force at one of the guards.

OOC: I’m not sure if Drako has line of sight on the G17 baddies or if the door is big enough to shoot past Terrus but if it is he hits for 16 points of force damage. EB attack 1: 1D20+6 = [14]+6 = 20 EB attack 2: 1D20+6 = [16]+6 = 22 EB damage 1: 1D10+4 = [2]+4 = 6 EB damage 2: 1D10+4 = [6]+4 = 10 Drako Initiative: 1D20+3 = [18]+3 = 21 AC 16 HP 17/38 Spell Slots 0 of 2 used

Location: Inner Temple (Various Rooms)

Encounter: Bardaby & Beast Boys & Cultists

Round One

Bardaby the Beast roared, "Get in there and kill them all! and pointed to the black void where the door had been. Terrified, his men obeyed, clutching their weapons and running through the darkness, blind. Their eyesight was no better when they got to the other side, as the glorious radiance of a vengeful angel greeted them. They blinked in horror as the angel smote one after another.

A few cultists, crazed by their zeal, set themselves on fire and made it past the angel, only to be bashed by Bob and burnt by even more of Lathander's light from Sesto. Still they came, as Torbin yelled, "To the side! and shot a Beast Boy who was coming up on Bob, then took cover behind the wooden screens.

As the pile of bodies in front of Sesto's Angels grew, a few mercenaries made it through. One distracted Sesto while the other stabbed a sword around the corner, deeply cutting the cleric on his shield-arm.
Then a man came through the blackness and mysteriously the Angel let him pass, he made a show of attacking Bob, but with no real effort, and then prepared to defend himself if Bob mistook his intent. Zander! thought Torbin, recognising Imani's agent who he had inside the mercenary company. With no other way to warn Bob, Torbin yelled while pointing to the southern door, "Bob! Leave him and help the others!"

The others were holding off the cultists coming up the stairs from the store-room. Drako had sent his dark energy down the stairs killing the guard who had fired at Terrus, and then was beside Torbin, taking cover behind the partition. Mecenaries banged on Terrus's wall of wood which held call the way across the store-room. Lorenn shot at a guard who shot back at him, both missing their mark as the hid around respective corners. The cultists came running up the stairs while Beast-Boy mercenaries tried to figure out a way through, around, or over the wooden wall.

"Get more men over here!" yelled Bardaby, the Beast, to his unseen allies.

GM: This is going to get a bit insane! The Angels are MVP this round, that's for sure! The Beast Boys can eventually get over the wall (it's 15 feet high and the store-room is 20, and they have the wagon to climb on). I've realised that I've done a weird thing of resolving everyone's movement before I resolve everyone's attacks, unlike the standard D&D of resolving every turn individually by Init. Oh well.

OOC: I usually leave bodies on, which I understand can be a bit confusing, but I find it video-gamey in a way I don't like - to have them "disappear" just because you killed them. In this case, I forgot to put my usual red X marker on Guard 4, down in the store-room. He's dead, though. Drako killed him.

OOC: (Sorry, a little bit busy today. ) Action: cast grease on the stairs. Top limit: H13 included. Movement: if Terrus didn't block the passage I go in H12.

Pyrus moves to a point where he can see through the south door.

"Try to keep one alive. Especially the boss. The others can die."

He holds his hand to the south, and taps in to the fire within, but in a way he doesn't do often. The heat in the southern room begins to leave, making the room deathly cold. Condensation forms on the walls, quickly becoming a thin layer of ice. The men in the room begin to have their breath turned into fog as the cold seeps in to them, stealing their warmth and causing them to shiver violently.

Terrus stepped up to the doorway and swung at the man in the door, seeing his brother's attack. He smiled. If he could be,t the door shut, Pyrus might be able to take out the whole room.

OOC: Pyrus uses Frozen Rain centered on point H15. It's a 20 ft radius, so it should hit everyone. Everyone inside makes a DC 14 Con save or takes [roll0] cold damage and has their speed reduced to 0 until concentration ends (1 minute). They take half damage on a successful save, and do not have speed reduced. (They only take damage once). Darkness is not concentration. Terrus attacks the guy in the doorway [roll1] Damage [roll2]. He uses 2 psi points for knockback if it hits, then uses either a bonus Action or his free action to shut the door.

OOC: Crit! [roll0]

 

[tglassy]

OOC: And knockback, the guy takes [roll0] damage when he hits the wall of wood. I did just read it, and he does need to make a DC 13 Strength saving throw for the knockback to take effect. On a side note, Pyrus is definitely going to need a long rest after this. If my calculations are correct, he on,y has, like, 11 psi points left. Terrus should have closer to 15 or so.

Bob laughs again as he bashes the first two heads to make it into his line of sight. Then as the last man makes his ineffectual swipes bob stops to stare at him for a moment before Torbin's warning. He didn't understand per-se but pushed the little man aside as he dove into the darkness seeking out the hidden voice on the other side. "I hear a big voice but smell tiny balls. Come to your head bashing coward!"

Stumbling through the darkness he struck out at the first body he could find with a reckless abandon. Laughing in his usual fut of enthusiasm.

[Sblock]Warhammer + Battleaxe attacks (Reckless):: 1D20+7 = [20]+7 = 27
1D8+6 = [5]+6 = 11
1D20+7 = [18]+7 = 25
1D8+6 = [6]+6 = 12


Advantage or Disadvantage as needed.: 1D20 = [17] = 17

And if he runs into Pyrus's cold rain. Con Save:: 1D20+6 = [10]+6 = 16

OOC: Cold rain is in the south passage, not the east one. You're fine.

OOC: Seemed odd.[oh well, you have an extra d20 roll off needed.
