Asano keeps his breathing measured, slow, and as quiet as possible.

OOC:
Stealth- 6/20

Jak held still and even tried to breathe very quietly as he watched the first hound come near them. But he barely restrained the urge to let out a sigh of relief when it padded away and ignored them. His heart tightened up again, however, as the second hound came up and seemed more intent on their hiding place.

He started working over in his mind all the insults he could throw at a dog...

22:38, Today: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 17 using 2d20+4, dropping the lowest dice only with rolls of 13,11.  Stealth check.

Morg holds his breath, trying not to make a sound as the second hound approaches and snarls.

Action: hide - Stealth 2.

09:07, Today: Morg Danforge rolled 2 using 1d20+1 with rolls of 1.  Stealth check for hound 2 (illusion advantage and armor disadvantage cancel each other out).

Magdrak attempts to keep still so that his armor won't give the group away.

17:33, Today: Magdrak rolled 8 using 1d20+1 with rolls of 7.  Stealth Check.

Very quietly, the elf takes the longbow off his back and prepares to shoot the hellhound at the slightest provocation.

Because Findarion can Hide as bonus action I'll prepare to shoot the hellhound if it breaches the illusion.

23:38, Today: Secret Roll: Findarion rolled 14 using 2d20+8 with rolls of 2,4.  Stealth.

The hellhound continues closer to the illusory wall, sniffing as it moves inexorably closer. The group shifts in place, tiny creaks of armor and clothing along with small scrapes of boots on stone marring the silence of the tunnel.

Merellien sneezes, loudly.

Finally the hellhound paws at the wall and, finding nothing there to slow its forward movement, stumbles forward through the plane of the illusion. Immediately Findarion's bow twangs, and an arrow blooms from the beast's forehead. Fumbling for another arrow, the elf realizes his quiver only contains another 4 arrows.

Roaring in pain and anger, the hound opens its jaws and spews a fiery conflagration and the hiding party.

Magdrak moves quickly as the hell hound comes through the illusionary wall, and is able to avoid the brunt of the flaming breath attack.  He momentarily turns his head and snarls at Merellien for giving away their position before stepping forward.  He gets himself into melee range, bellows a vow of enmity against the creature, and takes a mighty swing with his battleaxe.  Upon striking the creature he channels his divine wrath into it.  "Die, fiend!"

Asano coughs, slumping against the wall at his side. Slowly, the half-elf begins walking backward through the hall. As he goes, he makes a few motions with his focusing wand and a small handful of razor snowflakes shoot from the crystal. The small missiles slam into the hellhound from alternating sides. Asano grows larger and larger, his form magically augmented by the very Weave that is his strength.

The gout of flame envelops Findarion. As he frantically puts out the fire on his cape, the illusion fades away.

Jak opened his mouth to hurl an insult at the hellhound and then it breathed fire on him. The heat and flame washed over him, burning him badly. He staggered back from the beast, screaming silently, all the air in his lungs evaporated by the heat. His skin was blackened and charred as he stumbled to one knee in pain.

Shaking, he tapped one note on the drum, a dull thud devoid of any joy or musical note, and the motion clearly paining him. Through gritted teeth he spoke a singular word, barely audible through his cracked and bleeding lips, imbued with arcane will, "heal."

And some of his wounds began to repair themselves. He glared at the hellhound and through his grit teeth he menacingly spat out the words, "BAD. DOG."

OOC: Moving to V-7. Casting Healing Word at 2nd level on himself. Casting Vicious Mockery on hellhound.

Wiglaf shifts his form with a strangled cry, and suddenly a wolf stands where the ragged man once did. Merellien shrinks back, moving several feet down the tunnel, away from the wolf.

The wolf darts between the rest of the party, passing Findarion as he retreats, and rips a large gash out of the right side of the hellhound, to match the nasty wound from Reszur in the hellhound's left flank. At Jak's harsh words the beast whimpers, laying its beastly head between its oversized paws, and is still. The arrow still projects at an angle from the beast's skull.

Wiglaf remains near the beast, a low growl sounding in his throat. "You're keeping company with a we-werewo-wolf?" he says disbelievingly. "You've grown even more insane in your time away from the family Findarion!"

Map updated!

Since the hellhound died before Asano, Magdrak, and Morg's turns, we can retcon that you didn't take those actions you posted & you retain any resources spent (e.g., spell slots) with those posts.

We're (temporarily?) out of initiative - what would you like to do now?

Round 1 Summary:

Hellhound(s)
H2 uses fire breath - Jak & Asano  take 22 fire; Findarion  & Magdrak  take 11 fire.

Findarion moves and attacks H2 with Booming Blade - HIT for 8 piercing. He then disengages and moves back. H2 takes d8 thunder if he moves before the start of Fin's next turn.

Wiglaf saves vs. lycanthropy - FAIL. Wiglaf turns into a wolf. He moves and attacks H2 - CRIT for 11 piercing.

Jak casts Healing Word and regains 11 hp . He casts Vicious Mockery on H2 - FAIL. H2 takes 4 psychic. H2 is dead.

"Yes, well, beggars can't be choosers," Asano says weakly. "I suggest we make our way out of here, quickly. Those howls must have been heard, even with how much they would echo through these tunnels. Let's move, everyone." He speaks with the quiet authority of one born to power, his tone confident in the obedience of the group. Besides, its good sense.

Jak looked over at Asano and gave a small nod. Not only that he was agreeing with the words, but more than that, as the pain in himself subsided, he noted that the sorcerer too had been gravely wounded by the hellhound's breath of fire.

He spoke a word, the same word again, imbued with arcane energies once more. "Heal." Cooling energy washed over some of Asano's burns, causing the flesh to heal.

He then pushed himself off of the wall and began to keep going back the way they came to the entrance, assuming another hellhound wasn't coming towards them in sight.

OOC: Asano regains 7 hit points.

23:16, Today: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 7 using 1d4+4 with rolls of 3.  Healing Word, level 1, on Asano.

15:21, Today: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 9 using 1d20+4 with rolls of 5.  Stealth check.

Morg tip toes while trying to quietly head out, and peeks towards where the prisoners fought.

---

22:57, Today: Morg Danforge rolled 13 using 2d20+1, dropping the highest dice only with rolls of 14,12.  Stealth check (with disadvantage from chain mail) for creeping towards the surface.
22:59, Today: Morg Danforge rolled 7 using 1d20+3 with rolls of 4.  Perception check for prisoner battle.

Findarion just shakes his head at Merellien with a weak sigh. "For the record, I didn't choose to ally with a werewolf. We're friends by circumstance." He passes by the creature warily and sneaks back towards the exit.

"Try to stop yourself from sneezing again. I'm afraid I'll be toast next time it happens." He sneers at his brother.

Merellien gives Findarion a withering look but says nothing. His attention is distracted by his wary attention to the wolf in their midst.

As the group moves carefully to reach the crossing tunnel, Jak and Morg see two gleaming red eyes approaching swiftly, just outside the glow from Jak's glowglobe.

Wiglaf, still in a canine form, feels his hackles rise. A low growl ends in a snarl as he flexes his legs, preparing to leap at the approaching beast.

Action: attack H1 with javelin1 - hits AC 18 for 14 piercing damage and if it hits, must make a WIS save (DC 15) or be frightened (disadvantage on Ability Checks and Attack rolls while Morg's within line of sight, and it then can't willingly move closer to Morg).

Jak stepped out in to the hallway, one step forward, not quite shaking. He uttered a harsh, arcane-infused phrase at the hellhound, "Mangy mutt!"

He then stepped several steps backwards from the beast, not wanting to risk it's fire breath like the last one. He was still a bit charred in places.

OOC: Step diagonal south and east, one square closer to the dog, and use Vicious Mockery for potentially 4 psychic damage.
Then step back down the hallway 3 squares to R-16.

23:41, Today: Jakrynn Redgate rolled 4 using 1d4 with rolls of 4.  Vicious Mockery.

Findarion's cocky smile fades upon seeing another hellhound. "Run, Mer!" He dashes backwards, reaching for his quiver and scowling at the dwindling number of arrows. He takes aim and holds the shot for a better opportunity.

BA Dash and move to M16, ready action to shoot the hellhound when it comes in melee with my allies (which will allow me to sneak attack it)


14:10, Today: Secret Roll: Findarion rolled 21 using 1d8+4+2d6 with rolls of 6,5,6. Damage

14:10, Today: Secret Roll: Findarion rolled 16 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 10. Attack

Wiglaf bounds down the hallway, just reaching the hellhound. At that moment, Findarion's bow twangs, and his arrow strikes the beast's chest, just below the neck.

Wiglaf double moves to AE16.

The wounded hellhound bellows at wolf-Wiglaf, then snaps at his face, gouging the werewolf deeply. The wolf's body slumps to the floor of the tunnel as it is cast aside from the jaws of the hellhound.

The werewolf dispatched, the hulking hound advances on Morg.
