Drako

Drako moves around the corner as carefully as he can and fires and blast of energy at the one of the hydra’s heads.

OOC: Acrobatics if still needed Drako Acrobatics: 1D20+3 = [5]+3 = 8 Moves to S 14 if he makes it EB roll one: 1D20+6 = [12]+6 = 18 Roll if at disadvantage because of light EB roll two: 1D20+6 = [14]+6 = 20

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Kurzon pulls himself out of the water. Athletics 27

OOC: Kurzon would still have an action left and can move to as far down as row 14

 

[River Song]

Kurzon staggers out of the water, he wasn't close enough to the action just yet.

"By Tyr's grace I will end you!" he yells at the hydra using the words to mark his foe. Tyr granted the blessing and Kurzon saw faint illuminations on the creature showing its weak points. He then moves over to stand over the dead prisoner.

[sblock=actions]

Bonus Action: Hunters Mark
Action: Move to T16

Reaction: Use Sentinel to attack Hydra if it attacks anyone

[FitzTheRuke]

Acrobatics if still needed* AND if at disadvantage because of light**

OOC: Just so everyone's clear: *I keep forgetting to mention, here's how it works: If you treat it as Difficult Terrain (limit your moves to half) there's no check, otherwise Acrobatics or Athletics dc12 when you finish a move or you fall prone. (This is unrelated to the Dexterity Save caused by the Hydra's Lair Action.) **There's Dim Light (right now) everywhere on the map except around the corner from the hydra or underwater. (So no disadvantage). I am assuming that those swimming will come to the surface to attack, so no disadvantage for them either.

"Be strong my friend, I can't help you for now."
Eko hides in his hole and tries to avoid the tongue as much as possible.

Starting his bladesong, Lorenn turns the corner and, trying to remember the words of the old sage in all this chaos, ready himself to cast firebolt on a dead head to prevent his growth.

OOC: movement: S13 Bonus: bladesong Action: ready (if beheaded - firebolt) miss with a 9 Eko: dodge and pray. Speed: 40ft AC: 17

 

[Prickly Pear]

Stupid monster! Not only did he surprise me, he also made me slip back into the water. Stupid monster!!!
Anger grows in SnorLoska but he still holds on to his shield as he slides down into the water from the swell of the hydra. Back up on the dry ground, if you can call it that, SnorLoska dons his shield and draws his longsword. Time for monster killing, he grunts as he faces the hydra.

OOC: Move to U18. Action: put on shield, bringing AC to 17. Still raging after taking damage. HP: 29/45 (damage taken is 13+3=16, not 13+7=20) The hydra has advantage on attack rolls. Is it because we are on a slippery surface?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

The hydra has advantage on attack rolls. Is it because we are on a slippery surface?[/ooc]

OOC: No, that was because you counted as "prone" when it did a melee attack.

GM: Just [MENTION=23]Ancalagon[/MENTION] to go, then I can resolve it. Big group.

 

[Ancalagon]

OOC: Sorry, last night was game night

Sputtering, Udit yelled out: "It seems to be taking out the light sources! Get light spells ready!"

With that, he carefully got up, shifted his position, drew an arrow, aimed, and let it fly

Move: Get up from prone and go to S13. (if I have to use a bonus action to get more move via rogue activity so I can do this at a careful pace, I will do so)

Action: fire at Hydra. (OOC: it's unclear to me if I have cover penalties or not so I will not include any)

first bow shot vs Hydra: 1D20+5 = [1]+5 = 6


OOC: weeeellll, no need to roll damage...

Location: Hydra Lair, Dawn

Encounter: Hydra

Round Two

Drako shuffles around the point and fires an eldritch blast at the hydra, knocking one of it's heads back. Aquaria swims forward, laying into the Hydra with a psychic assault. Udit fires his bow, but the head he's shooting at ducks down to bite Kurzon. Kurzon is bit, but he lays into the Hydra, attacking and defending with ferocity. Terrus chops at the Hydra with his greatsword, while ducking under the Hydra's attempt to chomp him.
The surviving Prisoner clambers out of the water onto the muddy shore.

Auria slices at the Hydra with her psychic blades, injuring it bad enough that it begins to grow another head. Lorenn fires a firebolt at the growing lump. The hydra is too wet for the fire to burn, and the head grows.

Mord attempts to control the Hydra's mind, but the complications of a multi-minded creature twarted his effort. Torbin grabs the sputtering lantern and brightens up the area while avoiding the Hydra SnorLoska climbs out of the water again and straps on his shield just in time to block two heads from trying to eat him.
From the sloshing water, the mud on the shore thickens into a sucking soup, catching at people's legs and threatening to become as bad as quicksand.

* * *

Eko the bat continues to wiggle his way deeper into the crack, while the stirge digs away at it.

GM: Kurzon needed to be within 5' of the Hydra for Sentinel to work, so I moved him up. (He gets to make an Opportunity Attack). Similarly, Udit would have been in the same place as Drako, so he moved forward. The Mud requires a dc12 Strength Save (see Lair Notes) [sblock=Notes] Drako (to S13) Eldritch Blast 18 vs Hydra (Hit for ??
