Jak opens the door and finds two surprised looking knights standing directly in front of him in the doorway. He recognizes them as the ones who were left tied up in the stables below, and they still look somewhat the worse for wear. One drops the portable ram he'd been carrying, the other stares at Jak as if he was an owlbear in a tutu.

"Throw in the oil," Thurl growls from behind them, "then push him back." Jak sees a third knight remains at his post, guarding the door to Thurl's chambers.

Map updated!

Everyone completed a short rest, so you all regain the usual short rest benefits. If you want to spend any hit dice include that in your next post. Note that Jak was using Song of Rest, so if you expend any HD (assuming you have any to spend) then you'll get an extra 4 hp.

Everyone is up now, as Thurl does nothing but direct his minions this tun.

Round 1 Initiative Order:

Who	Init	Status
Thurl Merosska	19
Bubo (owl)	19
Mayon	19
Tessa	18
Asano	14	Inspiration

Bubo flies about, being a distraction to help Tessa
Tessa gets low to the ground like a tiger and sprints across the floor, like a tiger about to take down her prey.  At the last moment she dives through the man's legs and springs up on him from behind, slashing with her rapier covered in green flames that jumps from this knight (K1) to the one next to him (K2).

---

 She moves to T69, through the occupied space, (opposed roll) but not leaving combat distance (so no opportunity attack).
Tessa strikes K1 from behind, hitting AC20 for 8 points of damage.
Green Flame jumps to the knight next to him (K2) doing 4 damage.

Mayon doesn't even take a moment to hesitate, scrambling to his feet and pointing at the man in the doorway and sending a bolt of arcane energy his way immediately. Unfortunately his immediate reaction is a bit clumsy.

22:17, Today: Secret Roll: Mayon Graycross rolled 6,9 using d20+5,d6+3 with rolls of 1,6.  Agonizing Blast K1.
So I rolled a d6 instead of a d10 by mistake, but ah well, doesn't hit anyway :P
If my sprite is around after being re-summoned to the room, it will be Helping Zora.

"You'll have to burn down your entire tower to get rid of me this time!" Morg growls and attacks the nearest knight, with no intention of just knocking it unconscious this time.

Jak glared out at the treacherous Thurl and his stupid men, lip curling a bit at the orders. He moved to the side a step as Morg came angrily in to the doorway to attack the so-called knights. Jak stepped back and angrily mocked one of the Knights. "Offer hospitality an' then burn the guests? Knights o'the HIGHEST order for sure! Waterdeep must be PROUD!"

OOC: Moving to S-67 to let Morg have at it.
Vicious Mockery on K1.

14:57, Today: Secret Roll: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 1 using 1d4 with rolls of 1.  Vicious Mockery damage on K1.

Asano leaps to his feet, running to the open window. He leans out, reach for the shutters and slams them shut, locking the shutters closed. "Well, I'm not too big a man to admit I was wrong," he says, pulling his wands out. "Any ideas to get us out of here?"


OOC:
Just getting the shutters closed and locked before they hurl oil inside the room. Guessing that counts as an action.
This message was last edited by the player at 00:08, Tue 03 July 2018.

Tessa darts under the legs of one of the knights and attacks from behind at the same time Morg cuts him down. The knight guarding Thurl's room quickly advances towards Tessa and the stairs, and cuts her down with his longsword.

Asano moves to one of the windows and quickly locks the shutters. The sound of flapping wings recedes, only to reappear on the other side of the room, just outside the other open window. Jak backs up toward the window, hurling insults at the knights, and so doesn't notice the giant vulture carrying a fourth knight framed in the dim light outside. A flask of oil flies over his shoulder and crashes to the stone floor of the room, spilling its contents across the floor.

Another oil flask flies into the room from one of the knights near the stairwell outside the room.

Frustrated, Thurl casts and spell from the far side of the stairwell, and one of the knights begins moving with an almost inhuman speed.

Jak stepped out in to the hallway and swung his short sword at one of the knights in passing, but missed horribly as his focus wasn't on the knights. He was looking at Tessa and Thurl as he moved towards Thurl. He grimaced and shook his head. "Such unrelenting assholes, no Knights at all, mere thugs and bandits!"


Jak had moved to S-67 last round, not to the window. He was getting ready to enter melee.
Move: Moving to T-69, or T-70 if Tessa is staying conscious and will let Jak by.

10:45, Today: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 5,3 using d20+4,d6+2 with rolls of 1,1.  Attack on K2.

Asano sees the arc of a flask of oil from the other window and sprints over. He leans out, reaching to seal the shutters before anymore flaming oil is hurled inside.

Gritting his teeth Mayon's eyes gleam faintly with magic as he reaches into his component pouch, casting a quiet hex on the knight that attacked Tessa and lashing out with another beam of magic. Barely pausing to view the result he turns and rushes to help Asano at the window.


Hex and Agonizing Blast on K3. Hex to give disadvantage on Dex checks.
19:28, Today: Secret Roll: Mayon Graycross rolled 11,5,1 using d20+5,d10+3,d6 with rolls of 6,2,1.  Attack K3.

Edit: advantage from Bubo.
This message was last edited by the player at 20:02, Thu 05 July 2018.

With Tessa down, Bubo helps the others who can save her pink-haired friend.

Bubo distracts Thurl, helping Morg on his attack.

---

Morg,  with Bubo granting you advantage, you should be able to roll your attack again so you might hit an AC greater than 12.

Asano and Mayon move to close and bar the remaining window. Hard thumps echo from beyond it as the vulture and its mount attempt to break it down.

Jak and Morg attack the knights outside the room. Morg's javelin strikes home into the Feathergale Knight's leader, who grunts and shies away from the fearsome dwarf.

The knight moving at an oddly fast speed throws two vials into the party's room, once of which ignites the standing oil. Thick black smoke spirals into the stagnant air of the room as searing flames start roaring in the center of the room.

Jak is attacked viciously by one of the knights, as Thurl casts another spell. A stiff breeze begins tugging at Jak, pushing him back towards the flames in the party's bedroom. "Lock them in," Thurl calls out grimly.

---

Map updated!

Everyone is up now. Jak needs to make a Str save (see below).

Jak	13	Inspiration

Feathergale Knights	6	K2 is Hasted until Round 13; K3 Hexed by Mayon
Zora	4	Inspiration

Jak saw the writing on the wall. Tessa was down. Morg was hiding the room. The room was being lit on fire. He struggled to keep his footing and swung out at the Knight in vain. He fully expected that he would join Tessa on the ground in a moment but maybe it was better than burning to death.

Str save -saved. Attack K2, 11 to hit likely misses (even with inspiration, sigh).

17:08, Today: Secret Roll: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 12 using 1d20-1 with rolls of 13.  Strength save.
17:12, Today: Secret Roll: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 6 using 1d6 with rolls of 6.  Cutting Words if possible (if not, ignore).
17:22, Today: Secret Roll: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 9,11 using d20+4,d20+4 with rolls of 5,7.  Attack (with Inspiration) vs K2.

"Morg, Zora, it's time to make our exit," Asano shouts over the roaring flames. He aims his focus at one end of the oil fire and a jet of frost blasts the area, coating everything in a thick sheet of ice.


OOC:
Using ray of frost to put out T66. Hopefully?

Mayon is unsure how to help with the flames, bracing himself to move should they be doused, but for now focusing on the knight he had Hexed in the first place.

Gah, note to self, get more utility spells...
Action: Agonizing Blast K3

21:29, Today: Secret Roll: Mayon Graycross rolled 16,4,6 using d20+5,d10+3,d6 with rolls of 11,1,6.  Agonizing Blast K3.
Hits 16 AC for 10 damage, 4 force and 6 necrotic.

Morg says "Let's focus our attacks on the wizard."

He then takes out his warhammer as he exists the room, and with fire blazing behind him says, smiling, "Dwarves were forged in fire.". He steps over Tessa and past Jak, ignoring the attacking knight, and swings at Thurl.

---

Move: 25' to T70 (taking a possible attack of opportunity from K2).

If Morg takes 10 or more damage, then:
Bonus action: 2nd wind - DM please roll 1d10+3 and heal him that much HP.

11:25, Today: Morg Danforge rolled 7 using 1d8+6 with rolls of 1.  Bludgeoning damage to Thurl from warhammer.

Edit: this advantage roll means the precision maneuver isn't necessary:

09:42, Today: Secret Roll: Morg Danforge rolled 18 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 12.  Round 3 advantage roll from Bubo for attack on Thurl with warhammer.
This message was last edited by the player at 07:49, Wed 11 July 2018.

The room starts to fill with acrid black smoke as the knight just outside the door raises his arm to throw another flask of oil. Just before he throws, his inhuman speed slows to that of a normal person again. He looks quickly around, clearly dazed from the deceleration, and drops the flask at his feet.

A blast of magic connects with another knight outside the room, taking him in the chest just as Morg darts past. The knight delivers a vicious stab to Morg's side, but the dwarf quickly comes face to face with the leader of the Air Cultist knights.

Morg's hammer connects, causing a wince of pain from Thurl. With a half-snarl, half-smirk, The Lord Commander pulls forth a greatsword from the sheath at his back. "Wizard indeed," he says, as he slices the large blade upward. Bubo the owl darts away but too slow; the familiar disappears in a puff of pink smoke.

Jak couldn't believe his luck. He may not have hit the knight, but at least the knight didn't him back in return! He did a double-take as Morg went streaming by him to hit the head dick - which caused the quickening spell to drop on one of the knights! Were things turning around, or just a momentary surge before the big fall?

He grit his teeth in a big smile and swung out at the knight one more time with his shortsword!


OOC: Hit AC 17 for 8 damage on Knight 2.
18:16, Today: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 17,8 using d20+4,d6+2 with rolls of 13,6.  Attack on K2.

Roused from her slumber (and evidently a veyr heavy sleeper??) Zora saw their dire straits and cursed quietly. Without any spells left to her, she drew rezsur and waded into batter, hoping she could help.

---

Move to T68, attack K3 with Rezsur hit AC 24 for 8
In case I get the option of attacking last round I missed and this round, I may as well roll again :-)

21:54, Today: Secret Roll: Zora Jilkina rolled 25 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 19.  attack K3 with rezsur again if allowed.

---

The two knights in the hall look badly injured from the attacks, yet they press on.

Thurl opens the door behind him, which Morg can see leads into more empty quarters.

Jak was more than a little surprised that he was still alive. For some reason, the knight had missed him a few times in a row. Maybe they were getting tired! He knew he was! It had been a long couple of days. Still, he gamely swung out with his shortsword once more, still trying to concentrate on dropping the more wounded of the two knights first.

13:25, Today: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 22,8 using d20+4,d6+2 with rolls of 18,6.  Attack on K2 (or K3 if K2 goes down first).

Movement: Move to T67, avoiding the flames when possible.

Action: Hold Eldritch Blast until he has a clear shot at K2 or K3 (i.e. without hitting Zora or Jak) and then:

15:31, Today: Mayon Graycross rolled 6,6,5 using d20+5,d10+3,d6 with rolls of 1,3,5.  Agonizing Blast .
...miss wildly anyway. Good LORD dice roller.
