Into the Woods

[mips42]

Albrecht move into the room, approaches and grabs the large, heavy cloak. As he does, is suddenly animates, revealing a pale underside and a mouthful of triangular, sharklike teeth. The creature quickly Lunges into the air.

OOC: Initiatives please and thank you.

 

[Kobold Stew]

OOC: Glint, Albrecht's battleaxe of warning, means that he can't be surprised and that he has advantage on initiative: 1d20+2 (with advantage) = 9 (don't know if I did the roll right or not). Edit (in light of post below): 1d20+2=15.

OOC: you need to write 2d20.HIGH(1) for advantage and 2d20.LOW(1) for disadvantage. You rolled only one dice so you get another one,

"Always poking things that don't need to be poked," Terry says.

Initiative: 1D20+4 = [15]+4 = 19

 

[JustinCase]

As soon as the cloak animates and attacks his friend, Bimpnott rushes forward.

OOC: initiative: 1D20+2 = [17]+2 = 19

 

[mips42]

Albrecht feels the slightest of tugs of warning from Glint as the cloak animates and lunges towards him.

OOC: @Neurotic Still needs initiative.

 

[Neurotic]

Umbril hears the commotion and reacts instantly, he was already tense and went like a cocked crossbow.

He rushes in the room and cuts the thing with swords crossing across the main body.


OOC: Sorry, I thought it was only for those in the room.

Spoiler: Actions

Initiative: 1D20+4 = [19]+4 = 23

Move: next to the thing

Action and bonus action attack: 1D20+4 = [5]+4 = 9
1D6+4 = [2]+4 = 6
1D20+4 = [19]+4 = 23

- 1 hit for 7 slashing damage

 

[mips42]

Umbril, hearing the commotion, rushes to see what is happening. Seeing the cloak animate and Albrecht just get Glint in front of a attack, moves into range with the Cloaker and attacks.
One slash goes wide but the other connects!

The cloaker glides smoothly through the air, only briefly discouraged by the bite from Umbrils' sword. Seeing a new threat appear, the creature attempts to Bite Umbril. The creatures sharp teeth are able to find purchase on Umbril and, it uses that purchase to attach itself TO Umbril and begins attempting to wrap itself around him. At the same time, the creature lashes out with its' whip-like Tail at Albrecht, attempting to keep him at bay. The tail snaps across Albrechts weathered cheek, leaving a nasty welt and drawing a bit of blood.

OOC: Bite attack d20+6 [16]+6=22, 10 Piercing damage and if the target is Large or smaller, the cloaker attaches to it. Tail attack d20+6 913]+6=19, 7 Slashing damage A creature, including the target, can take its action to detach the cloaker by succeeding on a DC 16 Strength check. @jmucchiello Terry is up

 

[jmucchiello]

Terry moves into the room (two squares down, three square right) and launches a sacred flame at the creature.

(DC 15 Dex Save, radiant damage: 1D8 = [7] = 7)

 

[mips42]

The cloaker manages to whip its mantle out of the way of Terrys spell.

OOC: d20+2 [20]+2=22. Waste of a perfectly good crit. :/ @JustinCase Bimpnott is up

 

[JustinCase]

Bimpnott slashes across the cloak creature with his sword and kicks the thing with his left foot to boot.

He hopes this doesn't harm Umbril, but there is no time to dwell on that right now.

OOC: Swortsword: 1D20+7 = [10]+7 = 17 Damage: 1D6+5 = [4]+5 = 9 slashing Bonus action: Unarmed strike (Martial Arts): 1D20+7 = [14]+7 = 21 Damage: 1D4+5 = [1]+5 = 6 bludgeoning

 

[mips42]

Bimpnott lashes out with Sword and boot, both connecting.

OOC: Spoiler: Umbril You take 7 damage. Damage Transfer. While attached to a creature, the cloaker takes only half the damage dealt to it (rounded down). and that creature takes the other half. @Kobold Stew Albrecht's turn

 

[Kobold Stew]

Albrecht steps back from the cloaker -- a creature he has no name for -- when his axe begins to hum. The weight of the weapon's head swings back, and he carries the momentum as he swings it over his head and brings it down on the creature with both hands.

OOC: Attack: 1d20+6=15. If a hit, damage = 1d10+4=12 magical slashing. Move: around the cloaker to allow others to approach if needed. 39 hp AC 16.

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: HP: 14/52 @mips42 can I use Move action for Bonus action? I think I need second wind AC: 18

Umbril growls something form beneath the covering then something else again.

Spoiler: Netherese

"Serve me, wretch, and I'll let you live!"

Spoiler: Undercommon

"Serve me, wretch, and I'll let you live!"

The form under the cloaker wavers as if heat wave comes from somewhere beneath. Shadows rush in and the cloaker deflates as the form underneath melts into the shadows.

Umbril appears next to Albrecht and across from Bimpnott and immediately slashes at the creature.

Spoiler: Actions

Bonus: blessing of the Raven Queen teleport, Umbril has resistance to all damage for one turn

Action: Scimitar attack; advantage?, damage: 1D20+6 = [9]+6 = 15
1D20+6 = [9]+6 = 15
1D6+4 = [1]+4 = 5

OOC: I would prefer to use echo teleport - but I forgot to move it last round so it expired (it ended up beyond 30')

 

[mips42]

Albrechts attack just misses the Cloaker as Umbil attempts to get free of the thing. Then, Umbrils form slowly turns to a dark mist and re-forms next to Albrecht and slashes at the creature, but also misses.

The Cloaker, suddenly attached to nothing, soars up near the ceiling and emits a low, sorrowful Moan.

OOC: Each creature within 60 feet of the cloaker that can hear its moan and that isn't an aberration must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened until the end of the cloaker's next turn. @jmucchiello it is Terry's turn again.

 

[Kobold Stew]

OOC: Fear check for Albrecht 1d20+1=17 vs. DC 15. PASS.

 

[jmucchiello]

Terry doesn't find the moan the least bit unpleasant. She send a radiant bolt of fire at the creature. It attempts to dodge.

Wisdom Save DC 15: 1D20+8 = [16]+8 = 24
Sacred Flame, Dex Save DC 15 or take radiant damage: 1D8 = [4] = 4

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: Rolled with advantage because of fey ancestry (just in case it is enchantment) - but first roll is natural 20! Save vs Fear DC 15: 1D20-1 = [20]-1 = 19; 1D20-1 = [14]-1 = 13

Umbril grins at the creature
"There are much more frightening things in the Queens Realm than you."

OOC: Repeat it in Elven, Undercommon and Netherese

 

[JustinCase]

His breath stops for a split second as the creature moans and Bimpnott sees again the terrible hag that once caught him, deep in the woods, before the firbolg realizes that it is not, in fact, that hideous creature before him. It's just a cloak thing.

His eyes narrow as he gets a bit angry at the creature for startling him so.

OOC: Wisdom ST Bimpnott: 1D20+4 = [15]+4 = 19 (saved)
