He smirked slightly at seeing Alban again. What was that? Three times in as many days? He refrained from the old and tired "We've got to stop meeting like this. People will talk." trope.

He gave a nod when everyone looked ready or had said they were. "Right then. Keep senses alert, never know what we'll run in to. Wightvane an' I've been attacked by large beasts in the Rimewood several times for no apparent reason."

He then turned and headed off towards the center of the Rimewood.

Malkus falls in step behind Izayah, matching his stride. He unsheaths his greatsword as a measure of caution against aggressive, large beasts, but otherwise remains lighthearted.

I can provide assistance with Survival as needed.

Hexia waved as they headed off out of the village and into the wilds of the Rimewood. The group got to enjoy a tune by Elisar as they trekked through. This deep into the Rimewood the trees had begun thicker and more dense with snow. As they moved the sun slowly moved with them. Then suddenly you start to see the ground ahead move and before you can react feel a blast of snow come from behind and ahead of you. At the source of the snow is one large white wolf at the front and behind the group.

Everyone please roll a Dex save (DC 12). 18 damage on a miss or half it on a success. Please also roll initiative and post your first round actions.

Enialis manages to take minimal damage thanks to being in the middle of the group. But one more hit like that, and he would be knocked out,"Darn, why do we keep on getting ambush every time." he says and waves his hands, as he does so 4 glowing darts appear and starts peppering one of the large wolves.

07:20, Today: Enialis Siannodel rolled 16 using 1d20+3.  Dex Save.
07:25, Today: Enialis Siannodel rolled 9 using 1d20+3.  Initiative Roll.
Action: 2nd lvl Magic Missile on E2
07:28, Today: Enialis Siannodel rolled 16 using 4d4+4.  2nd lvl Magic Missile.

Izayah let out a grunt as a wave of cold washed over him. He hadn't been expecting that but he weathered as best he could.

He looked at the "wolf", started a bit at the sudden appearance, and then called back over his shoulder. "Hey, Elisar. I hope ya'll won't take this s'a judgement an' all but I'm startin' t'think'at wolves REALLY don't like yer singing'. Or maybe y'shouldn't do it in the Rimewood."

Having been close-up surprise-ambushed multiple times now, he was traveling with a shortsword in hand rather than his bow - he knew it might come back to bite him in the butt sometime, but today was not that day. He quickly drew his other shortsword and attacked with each of them one after the other and stabbing with the first one a second time.

Seeing the mounds of snow travelling towards the group Alban braces himself for what he knows is coming. "Ugh! This can't be good." As the spray of cold washes over him Alban tries to dodge out of the way, but he knows he isn't successful.  He can feel the air in his lungs begin to freeze his body from the inside out.

Gathering all of his focus and magical energy around him Alban visualizes the effect of his spell as it takes shape; a mass of webbing strands between several trees.

Ouch!! Assuming the E1 wolves are still in an enclosed area Alban will try casting a web spell at G3,G4,H3,H4 between the trees(G2,G5,I3) to create a battlefield control obstacle and ensnare as many wolves of that group as he can since he's so low on initiative.

20:10, Today: Alban rolled 5 using 1d20+1 with rolls of 4.  initiative roll.
20:10, Today: Alban rolled 3 using 1d20+1 with rolls of 2.  Dex Save DC 12.

Was my familiar already summoned and patrolling before attack or would Alban need to summon it at this point?

If Alban has any movement left he will try using his broom of flying to move straight up 30ft off the ground out of reach of the wolf’s breath weapon

Staring off into the distance, Malkus is caught off-guard by the blast of frozen air. His metal armor does nothing to insulate him from its ferocity.

Reeling from the assault, he clenches his left fist within his gauntlet as a prayer leaves his lips, and the symbol on the back of his hand begins to shimmer. He raises his fist above his head, and the shimmering extends downward, wrapping around him as a faintly glowing suit of fluted plate armor.

At the same time, he appears to grow large and imposing, with a effect resembling a cinematic dolly zoom. He fixes both wolves in his steely gaze and chastises them in a booming voice.

"Bad dogs!"

22:22, Today: Malkus rolled 10 using 1d20 ((10)). Dex save

22:23, Today: Malkus rolled 17 using 1d20 ((17)). Initiative

Should Of Faith on myself as bonus action.

Conquering Presence: force each creature of choice that you can see within 30' to make a DC13 WIS saving throw. Failed save results in frightened creature for 1 minute. Creature can repeat save at the end of each of its turns.

Elisar felt the cold wind behind him and just managed to duck and avoid the worst of the icy blast, though it chilled him to the bone. As he moved he stumbled, but managed to retain his footing. He turned quickly, continuing to step away from the threat, then saw them. Wolves! Not more of these hairy buggers! He ignored Izayah’s jibe for now, he had more important things to worry about.

As he reached for his blade he whispered a subtle verse and gestured towards the wolves. “Codladh, deis chun brionglóid a dhéanamh faoin saol go síoraí.”

As he waited for his spell to take effect he warned the others. “Tis a sleep spell. When they fall do not touch lest you wake them in an instant.”


07:59, Today: Elisar Moonraven rolled 16 using 5d8.  Sleep spell.
07:45, Today: Elisar Moonraven rolled 3 using 1d20+2.  Initiative. A crap roll, but means that I should act last which might be a benefit for my spell choice!
07:44, Today: Elisar Moonraven rolled 18 using 1d20+4.  Dex check, DC12.

Edit - just noticed that there are TWO wolves! My focus was on E1 originally so I will stick to that.

21:47, Today: Wightvane rolled 11 using 1d20+3.  Initiative.

Wightvane's blood burned hot as the cold attack hit him, giving him some resistance to its effect. Nonetheless, his protective spell burned away in the blast and his scales felt the stab of the cold air. (Dex 18, 9 damage eats my 6 THP and I take the extra 3)
21:36, Today: Wightvane rolled 18 using 1d20+3.  Dex Save.


He reached out with his will, toward the nearest of the wolves, placing a curse upon the beast. He struck out with his spear, letting the storm magic flow through the weapon as he did so. He had never fought a beast who could breath the elements as well as he could, and that made him hesitate to employ the hit and run tactics he had used in the duel before. Better to size up the opponent first.

Bonus: Hexblade's Curse
Action: cast Booming Blade on E1 (if it's asleep, do E2 instead)
Result: Hit AC 22 for 9 Piercing damage, it takes another 8 Thunder if it willingly moves

17:46, Today: Wightvane rolled 22,9,8 using d20+5,d8+5,d8+2.  Booming Blade, 2H, Cursed.

Having felt the cold, Izayah Hamadrell moves to stab the wolf in front of him. Using both short swords he slashes at it three times. The first two send blood flying in each direction, but the last one misses entirely.
Izayah Hamadrell deals a total of 10 damage to Enemy 2.

Malkus starts to gow and shouts, "Bad dogs!" at the wolves.
Both wolves made the save.

Wightvane strikes with his spear at Enemy 1. The wolf growls as the spear is jabbed into its side sending more blood flying onto the once white snow.
Wightvane deals 9 damage to Enemy 1.

Enemy 2 bites at Izayah Hamadrell. It sinks its teeth into the ranger's side injuring him badly.
Enemy 2 deals 18 damage to Izayah Hamadrell.

Enialis Siannodel waves his hands shooting out 4 glowing darts at Enemy 2.
Enialis Siannodel deals 16 damage to Enemy 2.

Alban creates a 20ft cube of web surrounding Enemy 1.
21:18, Today: The Narrator, on behalf of Alban, rolled 9 using 1d10. And yes I would say you have your familiar summoned at this time, though they still wouldn't have been able to spot the wolves ahead of time.
Alban successfully uses his new broom to fly 30ft off the ground.

Elisar Moonraven casts a sleep spell, but it takes no effect.

Enemy 1 manages to evade the web set by Alban, but not the thunder dealt by Wightvane. Enemy 1 provokes an attack of opportunity by Wightvane. Enemy 1 then goes to bite at Wightvane. It misses catching nothing, but air in between its jaws as it snaps shut.

Alright after I get Wightvane's attack of Opportunity that'll complete round 1. Please post your round 2 actions. By the way, yes, there are only two wolves sorry I didn't make that clear enough. They are just large, both of them. If I missed anything please let me know.

As the wolf pulled free of the web, Wightvane attempted to strike the creature's flank, but as big as the wolves were they moved too quickly. Miss on the OA
23:47, Today: Wightvane rolled 6,13 using d20+5,d8+5.  Spear Assault, HexB Curse.


As he dodged the wolf's counter attack around the tree, he used the movement of getting back into position to lash out with the spear once again.

Action: cast Booming Blade
Result: Hit AC 18 for 12 Piercing damage, plus 6 Thunder damage if it moves

23:50, Today: Wightvane rolled 18,12,6 using d20+5,d8+5,d8+2.  Booming Blade, 2H, Cursed.


Reaction: If it hits me, I'll cast Hellish Rebuke. Feel free to roll on my behalf.

Izayah let out a surprised yell of pain as the damned wolf nearly bit him in half! "GODS!" He almost fell to his knees, but somehow managed to hold on to his stance, his shortswords and his consciousness - tenuous though that grasp was!

He stabbed out with the twin shortswords, hoping to do enough damage to drop the not-wolf, or at least make it so his companions could do so. He staggered, still barely on his feet and keeping his balance after the thrusts, one missing completely.

OOC: Miss (AC 10) and Hit AC 14 for 6 possible piercing damage.
Move to N-5.

23:08, Today: Izayah Hamadrell rolled 10,7,14,6 using d20+5,d6+3,d20+5,d6+3.  Shortswords vs Wolf2.

Enialis says another arcane word and sends another barrage of missiles toward the same wolf,"Blasted! I don't like out situation at all, especially our positioning. I'd recommend the rest of you scatter unless you want to be blasted by snow again." he says and heads up north, near a tree.

Action: Last 2nd Lvl Magic Missile on Enemy 2
13:25, Today: Enialis Siannodel rolled 12 using 4d4+4.  2nd Lvl Magic Missile.
Move: To J1
Reaction: Cast Shield if they try to bite me

Elisar stood agog as the wolf shrugged off his magicks. Had he said it wrong? Surely these beasts weren’t immune to his spells? Unless... maybe they weren’t natural at all! The internal debate would have to wait for now.

He stepped neatly beside a tree, and decided to try another spell, a new one he had been practicing. Hopefully this would do the trick. He gestured forward and sang a delicate tune in a strange tongue, “Tine na sióg, las mo namhaid, cuir air ag taitneamh.”

As he finished a delicate dusting of violet lights sprinkled the area where the wolf stood. Hopefully some would settle on the beast and make it stand out for all to see.

Casting Faerie Fire on E2. If it fails DEX check then it will glow for 1 minute, giving all attacks against it ADVANTAGE.
Move to K 7

As the large wolf is distracted playing with its newfound chew toy (Izayah), Malkus maneuvers to its flank. With the blessing of Helm, his sword emits a faint hint of holy radiance as he cuts downward in a savage arc at the wolf's haunch.

Move to N2.

06:48, Today: Malkus rolled 23 using 1d20+5 ((18)). Attack E2

06:49, Today: Malkus rolled 14 using 2d6+3 ((5,6)). Damage

06:53, Today: Malkus rolled 5 using 2d8 ((4,1)). Divine Smite radiant damage

Floating above the battlefield Alban holds on to broom handle with a death grip; surveying the battle below. “This is not going well.” Seeing the wolf near him escape from the web Alban let’s his concentration go and gathers more energy around him. A cloud of floating metal shards begins to form and swirl near the wolf.


Alban casts cloud of daggers at G7 to attack E2


08:16, Today: Alban rolled 13 using 4d4 with rolls of 3,2,4,4.  Cloud of daggers slashing damage .

Izayah Hamadrell yells, "GODS!" as the wolf bites him and even though it pained him he didn't hesitate to strike back at the beast. He moved swiftly to STRIKE!
Izayah Hamadrell moves to N-5 and deals 6 damage to Enemy 2.

Malkus quickly followed Izayah Hamadrell's lead and got into a flanking position on the other side of the wolf. He struck it cuting downward in a savage arc at the wolf's haunch. The wolf yelps for only a second then growls.
Malkus deals 19 total damage to Enemy 2.

Wightvane struck forward with his spear at the wolf before him. With a mighty blow it hit slashing yet more blood onto the ground around the wolf. This time it was the wolfs side. What would it be next?
Wightvane deals 12 damage to Enemy 1.

Enemy 2 growls and barks ferociously at the two men around him. Then he stops for only a moment. You see his chest swell up then it hits releasing another blast of snow, this time only aimed at Malkus.
Enemy 2 uses cold breath. Malkus must make a Dex Save (DC 12) or take 18 damage. Half that on a success.

Enialis Siannodel moves without hesitation to a spot out of the way of the wolves. Then he releases more missiles aimed at Enemy 2. It yelps and is starting to look rough.
Enialis Siannodel deals 12 damage to Enemy 2.

Alban casts Cloud of Daggers where Enemy 1 is and sends his familiar to lend aid to his comrade, Wightvane.
Wightvane now gets advantage on his attack rolls against Enemy 1. I believe you meant E1 because of where Wightvane was attacking.

Elisar Moonraven spoke his words then a light started to shine around Enemy 2.
All attacks made against Enemy 2 now have advantage as long as the attack can see the wolf.

Enemy 1 yelps in response to getting smacked with the daggers. It moves swiftly triggering thunder to strike it. It bites at Wightvane. It chomps hard puncturing through the scales. It holds hard as flames start to burst around it and engulf it. It releases its grip in response, but doesn't back away.
At the beginning of Enemy 1's turn he takes 13 damage from Cloud of Daggers. It takes another 6 thunder damage from booming blade. Enemy 1 deals 18 damage to Wightvane. Wightvane casts Hellish Rebuke in response to the attack dealing 5 fire damage to Enemy 1.

Alright Round 2 is complete. Round 3 actions please.

Enialis sends in more missiles, lesser then the last one but more potent enough to weaken the beast. He remains in position, waiting to see what happens next.

Action: Magic Missile on E2
12:50, Today: Enialis Siannodel rolled 15 using 3d4+3.  Magic Missile.
Whoop, Max Damage
Reaction: Shield

Elisar let out a little whoop as the wolf began to glow with soft violet light, making it stand out against the white snow. He whipped a dart from his chest bandolier and flung it hard, watching as it seemed to find a soft, fleshy part of the beast.

He turned his head quickly to see the others fighting the other wolf and saw Wightvane squaring off with the beast. “Go Wightvane! Stick it with the pointy end! I fancy some new fur boots!”


Attack E2 with dart - 6hp damage
Bonus Action - Give Bardic Inspiration to Wightvane - you can add 1d6 to one attack, save or ability roll of your choice in next 10 minutes.
07:40, Today: Elisar Moonraven rolled 6 using 1d4+2.  Damage.
07:39, Today: Elisar Moonraven rolled 19 using 2d20+4, dropping the lowest dice only with rolls of 15,5.  Dart attack v E2 with ADV.

Covered in ice, Malkus lays on the ground ineffectually. It looks like he's still breathing though, so there is that.

05:58, Today: Malkus rolled 17 using 1d20 ((17)). Death save, first success

I didn't roll a Dex save because at seven hps remaining of 25, either way the damage knocks me out, but doesn't kill me outright.

Izayah was still alive and mobile, wonder of wonders! The winter wolf hadn't finished him - but it did knock Malkus down. Izayah let out a growl of his own and stabbed his shortsword as deep as he could in to the hide of the beast, then stabbed with the other for good measure. "Just die already, y'mangy mutt!"

Action: Hit Wolf 2 with a Natural 20 for 10 piercing damage.
Bonus Action: Hit Wolf 2 (or 1 if 2 is down) AC 15 for 5 piercing damage (or a critical hit with advantage for 9 damage).
Movement: Will move to E1 if needs be for the 2nd attack (J-7), otherwise will move to K-8).

10:44, Today: Izayah Hamadrell rolled 25,6,15,5 using d20+5,d6+3,d20+5,d6+3.  Shortswords vs Wolf2.
10:45, Today: Izayah Hamadrell rolled 4 using 1d6.  Critical damage.
15:45, Today: Izayah Hamadrell rolled 25 using 1d20+5.  Forgot about advantage for Faerie Fire (just in case).
17:58, Today: Izayah Hamadrell rolled 4 using 1d6.  crit damage again?

Wightvane felt his chest grow cold as he heart sent blood flooding toward his extremities in response to the trauma. This was a worthy opponent. This was a creature whose head would become a worthy trophy.

If he survived.

His already hot blood burned even hotter at the thought of facing an opponent who actually stood a chance at killing him. With extra heat came extra focus, and he used the wolf's distraction to his advantage as he struck again.

Action: cast Booming Blade
Result: Advantage gives me a critical hit for 8+1=9 Piercing damage, plus 5 Thunder damage if it moves

16:13, Today: Wightvane rolled 1 using 1d8.  crit damage. (seriously dice roller? I hate you.)
16:11, Today: Wightvane rolled 8,8,5,25 using d20+5,d8+5,d8+2,d20+5.  Booming Blade, 2H, Cursed.

Alban let his concentration falter and gathers his magical strength to conjure three bolts of energy.  On his command all three bolts fly with accuracy towards the large wolf(E1) and hits the beast in the back of his spine near the neck.




Action: Magic Missile spell attack towards E1 Wolf
17:34, Today: Alban rolled 11 using 3d4+3 with rolls of 3,4,1.  magic missile  spell damage.

Whisper the owl familiar will continue to provide the aid action against E1.

With a growl of his own and a well placed stab, Izayah Hamadrell yelled, "Just die already, y'mangy mutt!" The stab went straight through the beast's hide and pierced its heart and after a sharp yelp the wolf fell to the ground dead. Izayah Hamadrell didn't waste any time and moved to the next wolf quickly. He stuck with another brilliant blow, but this time only slashing at the other beast's side leaving a sizable gash where it had been struck.
Izayah Hamadrell deals 10 total damage to Enemy 2 killing it, then moves to J7 and strikes the other wolf dealing a total of 9 damage to Enemy 1.

Malkus makes his first death save.

Wightvane struck at the beast in front of him with a mighty blow releasing a downpour of blood from the wolf's right shoulder. The wolf yelps in pain as you see it starting to struggle to stand.
Wightvane deals 9 total damage to Enemy 1.

Enemy 2 is dead on the ground.

Enialis Siannodel releases more missiles at the last standing beast and as the smoke clears you all see that the final wolf is no longer standing.
Enialis Siannodel deals 15 damage to Enemy 1. Enemy 1 is dead!

Both wolves are officially dead! Well done! Each of you gets 233 XP.

Elisar cheered as both wolves collapsed, apparently dead. As he turned his head his joy was short lived, for he saw Malkus crumpled on the ground. He ran over, checking whether the fellow was still alive. He was breathing, just. A good sign!

He knelt down next to him and prepared a spell. Placing his hand on the man’s forehead he sang a gentle, haunting tune. “Cneasaíonn pian, tochaíonn sicíní coilm, maireann an ghlóir go deo.” He felt the healing energies flow out of his hand and into the recumbent figure, hoping that it would do the trick.

Cast Cure Wounds on Malkus. Ignore second roll, accidentally rolled twice!
08:32, Today: Elisar Moonraven rolled 6 using 1d8+5.  Cure wounds on Malkus.
