D&D 5E Storm King's Thunder

Ordrar: Riding down the chain goes just as planned and would be a thrilling experience for most non-dwarves. Your landing is a little less graceful, but you to knock out the middle cultist in the process.

Aremus: Another kraken thug comes charging in, but his swing (15) bounces off your armor.

Dren: Your enemies panic further when they see one of the chains shatter, their plan falling apart before them. Two more rush in, but their attempts to cut you (5 and 8) are pathetic.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tranio looks about to see how many are still aboard with him, and not in the increasingly confusing conflict below. Looking down from his vantage, he fires off two more beams at those in the raised aft deck.

Chill touch at 2 of the enemy in area 7 within 5' of each other. With Reaper and Inescapable Destruction. Beam 1: 1d20+8=28 Critical hit!. Damage = 8 (in previous roll) +1d8 = 16 (no resistance). Woo hoo! Beam 2: 1d20+8=11 (miss).

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Heedless of his own safety, Aremus dashed toward the next chain, hacking at them with his now-magical blade.

"Maybe if we free him from these chains, whatever stupor he is in will also end?" Aremus said hopefully, "Some sort of enchantment, perhaps."

OOC: Sword: 1D20+9 = [7]+9 = 16 for 1D8+7 = [1]+7 = 8 Extra Attack: 1D20+9 = [8]+9 = 17 for 1D8+7 = [2]+7 = 9

“Cannae ‘urt, lad!” Dren called to Aremus.

The dwarven monk turned his attention back to the cultists, grinning through his beard as he launched another series of attacks.

Ordrar lays about himself with the hammer, first targeting the one under his feet before focusing on others. He regrets not having his shield at the ready, but sliding down the line is not something you do with the shield strapped on your arm. And using the time to get it in the middle of the combat...yeah, not.

OOC: If 7 damage kills the prone pirate, second attack goes against the one "down" from him (ignore the advantage). Otherwise 13 vs prone pirate (low damage )

Spoiler: Actions

REACTION: first attack against Aremus is at a disadvantage
Action: Attack vs prone pirate; damage: 2D20.HIGH(1)+9 = [13, 10]+9 = 22
1D8+5 = [2]+5 = 7
2D20.HIGH(1)+9 = [15, 12]+9 = 24
1D8+5 = [1]+5 = 6

 

[seriousmoonlight]

Tranio: Your surprise attack is devestating as two unsuspecting enemies are crushed within the magic chill touch. The others scramble to safety.

Aremus: Though you have the right idea, these magic chains are strong and your attacks bounce right off.

Ordrar: Your hammer strike finishes the foe under you and the next swing damages one of the cultist attacking Dren.

Dren: Your storm of kung-fu strikes drop the two nautical cultists next to you.

Cultists: The enemy now surrounded by the party screams for more of his allies to join him before taking another swing at Aremus. Finally, a little luck on their side (nat 20) as he stabs into the distracted hero for 11 damage. Another enemy bursts out of the room Tranio was attacking and takes a poor (10) swings at the monk.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Ouch!" said Aremus as the cultist scratched him with a blade, "Leave off, fiend! I'm busy freeing this giant!"

He stepped sideways and disappeared into the space-between moments and reappeared near the giant's head, leaving the cultist (and his friends) behind.

"Let's see if these chains are easier to break!" he thought, as he hacked at the chains holding the giant's shoulders in place.

[Kobold Stew]

From his vantage on high, Tranio lets forth two further beams, targeting the last man standing on the sterncastle and the man standing next to him.

OOC: Chill touch at the last enemy in area 7 and the one 5' foreward. With Reaper and Inescapable Destruction. Beam 1: 1d20+8=25, damage = 2d8=6. (no resistance). Beam 2: 1d20+8=14, damage = 2d8=3 (boo!) (no resistance).

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: @Kobold Stew, really low rolls, just half of the average.

Ordrar keeps swinging at the pirates. Once the door is cleared he steps into the opening, blocking any further reinforcements.

Action: Attack vs "south" pirate 1d20+9=[18]+9=27; Damage: 1d8+5=[7]+5=12; Attack2 1d20+9=[4]+9=13; damage2 1d8+5=[2]+5=8

Move: if 12 damage kills the pirate, Ordar steps into the door, blocking it.

Dren struck out at the pirate cultist that attacked Aremus, trying to keep them off of the priest as he fried the giant.
