As Nyssia casts her spell, she heard teh distinct sound of a drop of at least one body. She watched Ulrik run and the gnome followed after him, drawing her short sword in one hand, and her hand crossbow in the other.  As she got close, she spied movement and took aim with the crossbow. The bolt thudded into the baracade, and she let out a small gnomish curse.

Dropping the crossbow, she continued on towards the enemies.

<OOC: Movement (Part) - Move 10 feet

Action - Fire hand crossbow

Nyssia rolled 10 using 1d20+4 with rolls of 6.  attack - hand crossbow

Movement - Move onto enemies>

Following Urik, Lureene storms forward, both her physical and spiritual weapons swinging.

OOC:

09:23, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 16,7 using d20+6,d6+3 with rolls of 10,4.  Mace attack.

09:24, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 26,7 using d20+8,d8+5 with rolls of 18,2.  Spiritual hammer attack.

((OOC: No, I didn't take Ulrik's Heavy Armor Proficiency into account. That would  be your responsibility as you know your character better than I do. So, that's 6 points less damage he took.))


Ulrik hits one Orc, but the damage isn't enough to kill it. It strikes back, swinging its great axe in desperation.

17:46, Today: StarMaster rolled 6,13 using 1d20+5,1d12+3 ((1,10)).

Ulrik's hit not only deals damage but it knocks the Orc's axe out of its hands!


Nyssia's crossbow attack misses and she moves to engage in hand-to-hand combat. That puts her in melee range of one of the Orcs, who manages to hit her for 9 points of damage.

17:52, Today: StarMaster rolled 23,9 using 1d20+5,1d12+3 ((18,6)).


Both of Lureene's attacks hit an Orc and the combined damage is enough to kill it.

The onslaught has kept the other Orcs from getting into position, so none of them can attack Lureene this round.


There's one disarmed Orc fighting Ulrik.

There's one Orc fighting Nyssia.

There's one dead Orc.

There's one Orc stepping over his dead buddy to get to Lureene.

There are two sleeping Orcs.

Ulrik strikes again at the orc in front of him. But he has to duck out of the way as the orcs axe goes flying from its hands.

Ulrik Donnarsson rolled 11,9 using 1d20+6,1d8+4 ((5,5)).

Nyssia winced at the attack, a deep wound in her arm. As she faced off, she hummed a soft tune, feeling the healing magic revitalise her, closing the wound a little even as she swung at the orc. Despite the swing, her focus on the spell made her swing miss the orc.

<OOC: Movement - none

Action - Attack orc with shortsword

Nyssia rolled 6 using 1d20+4 with rolls of 2.  Attack - shortsword.

Bonus action - healing word (1st level) on self

Nyssia rolled 4 using 1d4+3 with rolls of 1.  Healing word.>

Lureene glanced over at Nyssia, but seeing as she was healing herself, she decided to meet the orc head-on, forming a pincer maneuver with herself using her spiritual weapon.

OOC:

22:25, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 25,7 using d20+6,d6+3 with rolls of 19,4.  Mace attack.
22:25, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 28,8 using d20+8,d8+5 with rolls of 20,3.  Spiritual hammer attack.

Crunch!

22:27, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 7 using 1d8 with rolls of 7.  Critical hit extra die (spiritual hammer).

Ulrik just manages to hit the disarmed Orc, mainly because he has Advantage until the Orc grabs up another weapon. This hit kills the Orc.


Nyssia misses the Orc she attacks.

It attacks back!

15:59, Today: StarMaster rolled 10,8 using 1d20+5,1d12+3 ((5,5)).

And he misses.


Lureene's twofold attack kills the Orc that was moving to attack her.


Another Orc steps forward to attack Ulrik.

16:06, Today: StarMaster rolled 19,10 using 1d20+5,1d12+3 ((14,7)).

He hits for 10 points of damage (minus your Heavy Armor Mastery).


At the end of the round, there are two Orcs still fighting--one fighting with Nyssia and one fighting with Ulrik.

Plus, there are still two Orcs sleeping and three dead Orcs on the floor.

Nyssia ducks a swing from the orc she’s facing, and swiped under its guard. The swing was (however) short and missed his abdomen by a fraction. She grimaced but called out to her newest companion. “ulrik, take his head off - you can do it!”

<OOC: Action - attack orc using shortsword

Nyssia rolled 8 using 1d20+4 with rolls of 4.  Attack - shortsword.

(Damnit…,missed again!)

Bonus Action - inspiration to Ulric (d6)>

Lureene went to help both her teammates. She walked over to Ulrik, and looked him over. She decided that while injured he was in no urgent danger, and it was best to end the fight quickly before focussing on healing. So, she took a position as far opposite Ulrik as she could and swung her mace at the orc.

OOC:
22:43, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 23,8 using d20+6,d6+3 with rolls of 17,5.  Mace attack.

Nyssia she helped by sending her spiritual hammer over to swing at her own orc.

OOC:22:44, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 15,6 using d20+8,d8+5 with rolls of 7,1.

Lureene's mace attack on Ulrik's opponent hits but doesn't quite finish off the Orc.

Ulrik's attack after that does hit and finishes the Orc.

Lureene's spiritual hammer attacks the Orc fighting Nyssia. It easily hits, and though it doesn't kill the Orc,  it does cause him to shift his focus from Nyssia to the spiritual hammer. Based on his actions, it would seem as if he thinks the hammer is being wielded by an invisible opponent.

Nyssia, seizing the opportunity with her enemy distracted, thrust in with her short sword, causing a small gash on the orc - though the hit was true, there was little power behind the strike.

<OOC: Movement - None

Action - Attack the orc

Nyssia rolled 18 using 1d20+4 with rolls of 14.  Attack - shortsword .
Nyssia rolled 3 using 1d6+2 with rolls of 1.  Damage - shortsword.

Bonus Action - None

….well, at least I hit this time. Just bummed in damage>
 

Lureene smirks and strikes again with her hammer at the last orc.

Then, if he is still alive, she moves over to also strike at it with her mace.

OOC:

21:17, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 18,7 using d20+8,d8+5 with rolls of 10,2.  Spiritual hammer attack.

21:17, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 9,8 using d20+6,d6+3 with rolls of 3,5.  Mace attack.

Lureene's strike with her spiritual hammer hits and does finish off the Orc, so her mace attack isn't needed (and wouldn't have hit any way).

"Well, glad that ugliness is over" said Lureene. She moved over to Ulrik solicitously. "Will you let me examine your wound, my friend?"

Nyssia sighed, wincing at the pain she felt from her wounds, started searching the bodies of the fallen orcs while the Lureene saw to the healing

The Orcs are all wearing leather armor. It's not in bad shape, but it's dirty and clearly hasn't been taken care of very well.

Each Orc is armed with a long sword, a dagger, and three javelins. Only one of them has a backpack. It's full of junk. Some old food, some small rocks, a battered tin cup, a broken clay pot, and a coil of rope.

Each also has 16 silver pieces.

You do notice that one of them is wearing a silver ring. It seems significant because it isn't tarnished.

"Ouch!" Ulric says involuntarily as Lureene examines his wounds.

"Treat Nyssia first. She also got hit."

Nyssia takes the ring, the silver two daggers and places them in her pack. She piled the gear up. “Just a few minor hits….but I’ll be ok. We have a little gear if we need, it, but let’s get moving and finish searching this cave.”“

Behind the crates and barrels, there's a narrow tunnel leading out of the back. You don't hear any sounds from this tunnel, but it's also dark. However, Nyssia can see that it goes just about 50 feet, slanting upward slightly, and ending in... darkness.

The halfling crouched as she looked in the darkness. “I can see about 50 feet, then darkness.” She looked at the others. “If you can cast a light spell on an arrow, I can send it up”

Lureene nodded at Nyssia and, since she had said she was fine, called upon the Lady Firehair to restore Ulrik and succor his wounds.

OOC: cast Cure Wounds for 1d8+5+3 (Life Domain) : Ulrik is healed 15 damage.
23:07, Today: Lureene Raventree rolled 15 using 1d8+8 with rolls of 7.  Cure Wounds.

She turned to Nyssia. "Show me your arrow and I'll light it up."

Lureene will cast Light on Nyssia's arrow.

Nyssia held out an arrow, but held her hand up, a slight smile on her face. "I may have another idea....crazy as it is." She replaced her arrow and looked at them. "Stay here a moment and I will look ahead."

With that she hummed and clicked her fingers. With the snap, the shadows seemed to come alive and surround the gnome, then seperated again, the gnome gone from from sight.

<OOC: Using shadowtouched feat, casts Invisibility on self>

From nowhere, you heard her voice. "Be ready"

Nyssia slips up the tunnel to where the darkness begins... hearing nothing as she goes, nor seeing anything threatening. By the time she reaches the end, she is able to determine that the darkness is merely a room where the light simply isn't reaching.

She gets a sense that it's not a large room, maybe 30-foot square.

Nyssa returns and reappears in front of the others. "Looks empty ahead....a room, maybe 30 feet square. should move up slowly and finish this."

“Nice trick. Did you happen to see or hear if anyone was in it? Ah, but it doesn’t matter, we must press on.” She sets her mace on her shoulder. ”Right then, cautiously.”
