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

[FitzTheRuke]

Location: Bhaal Temple Entryway

Encounter: Shieldmaiden Shiobhan, her two Enforcers and two Dragon Cult Dark Acolytes

Round One

Siobhan was certain she had made the right call. As the wagon erupted into activity, she could tell that these were no simple mercenaries, but experienced adventurers. She brought her shield up in time to deflect a blow from a man who appeared to be made of, at least partly, stone. It saved her life, but cost her a cut on the arm from the half-orc's axe. From behind the horses, another of the infiltrators cast some sort of spell, and she glanced over her shoulder to see an acolyte fall to the ground. The glance was well-timed, though, as it gave her the opportunity to duck to the side as her enforcer fired his crossbow, striking the half-orc. This is going to be harder than I thought, she derided herself, I should have brought more men. The consequences of failure were dire, indeed.

Torbin propped himself up in the back of the wagon as Terrus and Mord traded places. He watched as his friend Kelley was struck by the enforcer, who had thrown his crossbow aside for a slender blade, and had quickly reversed their battle, driving Kelley's spear aside, and slicing him twice - not mortal, but painful. Torbin threw his spear at the man to distract him, then rummaged around in the wagon for where he'd hidden his favorite weapon - his bow.

GM: As you can see, I'm going to go for a more narrative style (Limited to a few perspectives) in the fluffy description. If you're looking for some crunchy specifics, you will find it in the next two sblocks. I dunno, I've had less than an hours sleep. Don't judge me! Go for round two!

[Fradak]

Constitution Save: [roll0]

 

[FitzTheRuke]

GM: Edit: Kelley got critted. He takes another [roll0] Damage. Which makes Torbin's thought that he was okay mistaken. He's dying. Technically NPCs don't get death saves (unless the DM wants them to) They just die. For in-party PCs I usually give it to 'em.

 

[tglassy]

Terrus swings his greatsword around, to hit again.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

 

[Prickly Pear]

SnorLoska continues his fearsome attacks on Siobhan. "She is good", he thinks, "but I will prevail!"
SnorLoska feints to the right and swings to the left.

OOC: Greataxe Attack and damage (rage): 1D20+6 = [14]+6 = 20, 1D12+4+2 = [12]+4+2 = 18

 

[Fradak]

Kelley seems in bad situation there, so Lorenn engages his Songblade and springs into battle. He crosses swords with the enforcer 2, assuming kelley has some dirty tricks to show if Lorenn distracts the Enforcer.

Free interaction: Drop spear
Bonus Action: Bladesong (new AC: 17)
Mouvement: H7 (through Kelley space)
Action: Cast Booming Blade and attack Enforcer2 with rapier + sneak attack
Rapier: [roll0]
Dmg: [roll1]+[roll2]
Booming Blade (if enforcer moves): [roll3]

If Enforcer hit me, Reaction : Shield (AC: 21)
If Enforcer (1 or 2) flees, Reaction: Opportunity attack with Booming blade (warcaster)
Rapier: [roll4]
Dmg: [roll5]+[roll6]
Booming Blade (if enforcer moves): [roll7]

 

[gargoyleking]

Mord curses as He watches Kelley go down. There wasn't anything he could do about it for now except to kill his target as quickly as possible. And so he aimed his wand and fired off another blast of magical death at his original target.

OOC: Mord EB attack+dmg:: 1D20+5 = [10]+5 = 15 1D10+3+1D6 = [2]+3+[6] = 11

Squirrels are evil!

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Location: Bhaal Temple Entryway

Encounter: Shieldmaiden Siobhan, her two Enforcers and two Dragon Cult Dark Acolytes

Round Two

Siobhan ducked under her shield as the stony man leaped over her head, swinging his greatsword. Determined she would not fall, she struck the half-orc again, but he seemed insensible to pain. This wasn't working. Even with the power of the Bhaalite Circle, her men appeared to be losing this battle as swiftly as it had begun. "Raise the alarm!" she yelled to the acolyte, as he chased the half-elf while spraying poison.

* * *

Torbin watched as Lorenn spun across his field of vision and knocked the enforcer's crossbow off-aim. His own arrows failed to meet their mark, as the other enforcer ducked them, and stabbed at the half-elf, turning away from Kelley. Torbin watched in horror as his friend crumpled to the ground, spitting blood. Beside him, Torbin could feel strange otherworldly vibrations as Mord cast harmful spells at the now-fleeing acolyte.

[tglassy]

Gritting his teeth, having missed the shieldmaiden twice now, Terrus stabs at her while she's engaged with the half orc, trying to get within her defenses.

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

 

[tglassy]

OOC: Oops. Not that it matters, but damage should have been [roll0]
