D&D 5E Sample adventure to test 5E in high level (15th) play. Any takers?

[Flamestrike]

I'm just going to let the wall drop so the rogue has an easier shot (with easy -sneak attack since I'm right next to the trolls).

Cool.

Ignore the wall of fire I so artistically added to the above map then!

 

[Zubatcarteira]

I'll shoot T4, and if it dies, shoot T5.

Attack 1: 1d20 (3) + 10 = 13
Damage: 1d6 (1) + 18 = 19

Attack 2: 1d20 (11) + 10 = 21
Damage: 1d6 (5) + 18 = 23

Attack 3: 1d20 (8) + 10 = 18
Damage: 1d6 (4) + 18 = 22

Attack 4: 1d20 (16) + 10 = 26
Damage: 1d6 (5) + 18 = 23

@Flamestrike

Yeah sorry, I lost the bit of paper I was tracking HP on.

Am trying to find it

 

[Flamestrike]

Ok, Troll 4 goes down.

Cleric, you're up.

 

[Mort]

Just because it's been quiet for few days and he's just stepped into the role

@Kobold Stew - your turn!

 

[Kobold Stew]

Alvin likes order. This combat has not been ordered. He hates being a liability to the party, yet that is what he feels he is. Unable to create fire, he is needy, dependant on his colleagues in a way he hasn't been for some time.

He sees one troll still standing, and while he is prepared for the one that just fell to rise up again, he launches himself into the fray, "By the dawn's early light...." he cries as he slices parts of the creature off.

OOC: HP: 70/115. AC 20. Move up to troll 5 (the only one standing?). Action Attack: swing 1: 1d20+11=26. Damage = 1d6+8=9 magical slashing. Plus 1d8=7 radiant swing 2: 1d20+11=17. Damage = 1d6+8=14 magical slashing. EDIT: forgot the roll link./EDIT If it is not down yet, he will use his bonus action to attack again. swing 3: 1d20+11=18. Damage = 14 magical slashing Move if there is movement leftover and there are nostanding trolls, then he will continue to mover pout of immediate reach.

 

[Flamestrike]

Its still up. Rogue. Your turn!

 

[jayoungr]

Assuming I have advantage from being hidden, I'll attack T5.

Attack rolls: 14 11 + 10 = 24.
Weapon damage: 1 + 5 = 6 piercing.
Sneak attack: 24
Total damage: 30 piercing.

Is it still up?

Yep.

Who's next?

 

[Flamestrike]

Who's next?

Sorcerer.

 

[jayoungr]

Since T5 is still up, I'll use my bonus action to hide again.

Stealth rolls: 10 5 + 10 = 20.

Just to remind you about reliable talent. You literally cant roll less than a 10 on a skill check as long as you add your proficiency bonus to it.

 

[Asisreo]

Technically the downed Trolls are prone (and incapacitated and unconscious), so you have disadvantage (due to making an attack while not being within 5' of them) which cancels out the advantage of unconscious and invisibility.

I want to keep this ruling consistent before continuing on. RAW, the position I am in doesn't matter. Of course, its a bit silly but I'd rather err on the side of RAW for this experiment when needed.

Yeah, if a target is prone ranged weapons have disadvantage against it. And since Advantage/disadvantage only applies once, It doesn't matter how many other circumstances give you advantage - everything just cancels out. At least it keeps it simple!

 

[Asisreo]

I'll cast a 3rd-level scorching ray on T4, once one of them hits, the rest goes to T5.

Scorching Ray to-hit:
[12]+12=24 I assume that hits, so T5 who isn't prone:

[18] [2] +12 =30

[17] [18] +12 =30

[20] [11] = 31 Crit!

Damage:

Ray 1 (probably doesn't matter): [1] + [3] = 4 fire damage

Ray 2: [1] + [2] = 3 fire damage

Ray 3: [5] + [3] = 8 fire damage

Ray 4: [4] + [4] + [6] + [1] + 5 = 20 fire damage

(You may have noticed that I added my CHA mod to the last damage roll, not the first. I looked and it doesn't say which damage roll the CHA mod applies to, so I assumed it was up to the player).

 

[jayoungr]

I haven't forgotten it. It doesn't really apply in this case, though, since it wouldn't change the final number.

And with that, the last two Trolls go down.

Huzzah!

I'll await an updated list of resources used in total so far from each player, plus current HP totals.

Once we have that info, you guys can let me know if you want to press on or Short rest.

You guys figure you probably have enough time for 1 more short rest, as long as you dont get too bogged down on the mountain.

 

[Mort]

Bartholomew status:

HP: 43 (8 of 15 HD used from last short rest, lower than the gith/dragon fight!)
Bardic Inspirations: 1 of 5 used (short rest recharge)
Contagious inspiration: 1 of 5 used (long rest recharge)
Lyre: 2 charges of 7 used (prot. evil, wall of fire)
Spells:
Used (total since long rest recharge):
1st: 2 of 4
2nd: 1 of 4
3rd: 3 of 3
4th: 3 of 3
5th: 0 of 2
6t: 1 of 1
7th: 1 of 1
8th: 0 of 1

Anything I'm missing @Flamestrike ?

Unless there is significant healing available - I'd definitely vote for a short rest! Is Alvin a life cleric now? If so, that healing could be used and then short rest (which would also give us a song of rest AND we would take 10 minutes for me to give a nice speech and 20 temp HP to everyone).
