Re: Day 9 - Underground Rescue

Caught unawares, the razerblast can only spin and bring her long flaming spear to bear.


The razerblast is surprised - everyone is up now! Note that Asano's spell will technically happen after Findarion, Wiglaf, and Jak act.

Re: Day 9 - Underground Rescue

Jak had been watching. Hell, he'd been waiting. The unspoken consensus seemed to be that they didn't want to get fed higher up the food chain to some other arrogant firelord. So instead, they bided their time until the hobgoblins were well out of sight, and hopefully earshot as well.

Asano seemed ready, even eager, to start things off. Jak's lips quirked in to an almost-smile and he asked their guide, "That's gotta be the worst case o'heartburn I've ever seen!"

18:40, Today: Secret Roll: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 4 using 1d4 with rolls of 4.  Vicious Mockery.

Re: Day 9 - Underground Rescue

Suddenly surrounded by the group she was escorting moments before, the razerblast struggles to bring her long spear to bear. She twists her head around sharply at Jak's insult, and hisses as Findarion's blade strikes true.

Her head whips side to side as if struggling against unseen bonds, but then struggles anew when Morg pounces, practically climbing up the razerblast's armor to reach her face. The searing hot armor scorches Morg's exposed skin.

Hissing with hatred from behind Morg's hand, the Razerblast swings its flaming spear around, stabbing multiple times at her assailants.


Map updated!

Everyone is up now! Technically R1 acts after Findarion, but I posted her action anyway for expediency. If something Findarion does changes things I'll let you know before tweaking her post.

Round 1 Summary:

Findarion rushes forward to AL15 and attacks R1 with Reszur - HIT for 15 piercing. (remember to post movement needed & add the +1 to attack rolls & damage rolls)

R1 is surprised.

Wiglaf makes con save vs. lycanthropy. Wiglaf casts Hex on razerblast with a bonus action, then moves to AM15 & attacks razerblast with halberd - MISS. R1 has disadvantage on Strength ability checks.

Jak casts Vicious Mockery on R1 - FAILS save, takes 4 psychic. Jak receives Inspiration for a pretty good jibe, though you already had it =).

Asano casts Phantasmal Force on R1 - FAILS save, takes 2 psychic. (remember to roll for damage for P Force)

Magdrak moves forward and attacks - MISS.

Morg moves forward and attempts to Grapple R1 - SUCCESS. R1 is grappled. Morg takes 6 fire damage .

Round 2 So Far:

R1 attacks three times, one each vs. Morg (at Disadvantage), Magdrak, and Findarion - MISS.

Round 2 Initiative Order:

WhoInitStatus

Razerblast19Disadv on Str ability checks

Re: Day 9 - Underground Rescue

Jak grinned a lopsided smile at the 'person', if such they still could be called. "I mean, I've heard of a fiery temper before, but this is just ridiculous!" He tried to keep his voice down so it wouldn't carry too far, which is why he was standing somewhat close to their 'guide'.

OOC: Heh, thanks. Glad you liked it. It's not easy to keep coming up with new insults every time, lol. I know some of them fall flat.

Re: Day 9 - Underground Rescue

The razerblast swoons from the assault. Her armor's flaming orb flares as bits of the metal are chipped off from the blows. With one arm she tries to claw at Morg to fling him off of her; with the other, she stabs out wildly at her attackers, snarling wordlessly.

The clamor of the struggle seems to be drowned out by the loud noise of clanging metal down the stairs to the south, at least for the moment, as no one appears from either end of the long hallway.


No map update needed yet.

Everyone is up now! As before, I posted R1's next action for expediency. If something Findarion does changes things I'll let you know & tweak her post.

Morg, note you have a contested roll to make vs. an attempted shove - Athletics or Acrobatics.

Round 2 Summary:

Findarion attacks R1 - HIT for 15 piercing.

R1 attacks three times, one each vs. Morg (at Disadvantage), Magdrak, and Findarion - MISS.

Wiglaf attacks R1 with halberd - HIT for 13 slashing and 3 necrotic. He uses bonus action to attack with butt of halberd - MISS.

Jak casts Vicious Mockery on R1 - FAILS save, takes 2 psychic. R1 has disadvantage on their next attack.

Asano casts Chill Touch on R1 - HIT for 4 necrotic (Findarion is correct that Twinned Spell requires 2 separate targets, so you would not be able to spend a sorcery point on this for a second attack). R1 takes 1 P Force psychic.

Magdrak casts Hunter's Mark on R1, then attacks - HIT for 12 bludgeoning.

Morg attacks R1 with war pick & Precision Attack - HIT for 7 piercing. He uses Action Surge & Precision Attack to attack again - HIT for 12 piercing. Morg takes 3 fire .

Round 3 So Far:

R1 attempts to Shove Morg out of the grapple using an Athletics check (at Disadvantage) - 7. If successful, Morg is thrown to AM18. She attacks Findarion (at disadvantage) & Magdrak - MISS.

Round 3 Initiative Order:

Re: Day 9 - Underground Rescue

Jak grew tired of insulting the fiery person, though he had more things he could talk about - like a hole in the heart and such. But he decided to help try and end things up quickly, though melee wasn't his forte. "Alright, people, let's wrap this up, yah? Gloomy places t'see, creatures an' brothers t'free."

Re: Day 9 - Underground Rescue

Still beset by attackers on all sides, the razerblast struggles to the last. Magdrak's hammer comes down upon her head, and she slumps to the floor.

A split second later an ear-shattering roar rocks the hallway, as the fiery gem in the center of the razerblast's armor explodes. Flame and shrapnel fly in all directions. Wiglaf stumbles, putting out small fires on the remains of his mercentary uniform, and he leans against the rock wall of the passageway for support.


Map updated!

We're out of combat! Findarion, Magdrak, Jak, and Morg must make Dex saves (see below), and Magdrak must make a concentration save to maintain concentration on Hunter's Mark (DC 10 Con save).

Round 3 Summary:

Findarion attacks - MISS.

R1 attempts to Shove Morg out of the grapple using an Athletics check (at Disadvantage) - FAIL. She attacks Findarion (at disadvantage) & Magdrak - MISS.

Wiglaf attacks R1 with halberd - MISS. Bonus action attack with butt of halberd - HIT for 4 bludgeoning.

Jak moves forward and attacks R1 - HIT for 7 piercing.

Asano does nothing. R1 takes 2 psychic.

Magdrak attacks R1 - HIT for 11 bludgeoning. R1 is dead. R1 explodes. Wiglaf, Findarion, Magdrak, Jak, and Morg must make a DC 12 Dex save or take 25 fire (12 with a successful save). Wiglaf saves, and makes concentration save.

Re: Day 9 - Underground Rescue

The smile was literally wiped right off of Jak's face as the Razerblast blew up when it died. He was flung backwards ten feet and crashed to the floor. "owfuckdamnitow!" He lay there on the ground, moaning as the pain washed over him. He felt like if the blast had been a bit hotter, it would have actually just killed him outright. As it was, he was badly injured and burned. "eeehhhhhh...."

Sigh. Of course.

Jak finally stirred a bit more, sitting up and frowning painfully. He then dug around in his pack and pulled out a potion that he quickly drank. The liquid burned a bit as it went down but then a warm feeling passed over him and some of his wounds disappeared.

"Ugh. Man. We might be in trouble." No one seemed to care much and began to continue heading towards their 'current goal'. He sighed, shook his head, and followed after.
