The arrow seems to strike Omaron, but falls to the ground a heartbeat later. "Alright, then," Omaron chuckles, the stony aura of his skin cracking slightly as he does so. The dwarf charges forward, interposing his shield between the arrow slit and the tunnel behind him. "More arrow slits and a door," he calls back to the others.

Marik ears pick up the sound of the bowstring loosening and that of the thin wooden projectile piercing the air for a second.

He curses.

"Damn, the...Allright, you can "Open" this one...your way I mean..."


OOC: As I remembered, they was another arrow slit not too far from me (the one when I saw movement), so Marik will get out his shield and "plug" this one too while Omaron does his patented "Stonehammer opening" move.

FIlimena springs forward, ready to follow the party into the tunnel and take on whatever it was that shot that arrow. If all they are up against were things shooting arrows, she'd consider them lucky.

OOC: Sorry guys! Been impossibly busy with work pretty much every evening this week. Did get a promotion though, so that's good!

As the arrow bounces off the dwarf's armor a scurrying noise like unshod feet slapping on stone can be heard from the slit.

As Raszire hears the beginnings of a commotion happening in the hallway, he glances over and notices an odd depression in the adjacent wall. He pushes Filimena away from the opening while gesturing to her in silence, pointing out the sliver of space between the rocks in the wall.

OOC: I’m picturing myself with my back flat against the wall to the right of the arrow slit with Filimena to the left, the two communicating silently with hand gestures and head nods to be careful and to watch for other potential danger points.

Raszire and Filimena can see movement through the arrow slit...

OOC: Hey! Nice job with the promotion, Filimena!


Thinking they might be in danger if they don't move soon, Marik ask Rani to assist Omaron and tear down that second door. The panther roars, pass near the dwarf and violently slam the door with her giant paws.


OOC: Rani rolled 20 for a Atletics check to break down the second door.

The door explodes inwards as the big cat pounces on it and as Rani lands on the other side she finds herself face to face with massive, long-limbed fur covered humanoid brandishing a wicked looking morning star in one hand and in the other a shield.

OOC : Initiative!
08:57, Today: DM5 rolled 2,14 using d20,d20, unique dice with rolls of 2,14.  Initiative - Party vs Goblinoids.

Looks like the baddies go first ...

ROUND 1
The bugbear tries to smash Rani with the its morning star but the swing is wild. From the breeze it generates Rani and Marik know the bugbear meant business

OOC: 08:59, Today: Bugbear rolled 10,9,11 using d20+4,2d8+2,2d6, unique dice with rolls of 6,1,6,6,5.  Attack, Weapon Damage, Surprise Damage.
Swing and miss!


OOC: 09:04, Today: Goblin rolled 7,4,16,8 using 1d20+4,1d6+2,1d20+4,1d6+2 with rolls of 3,2,12,6.  Attack, Weapon Damage x2.
16 should connect for 8 damage to Rani!

They disengage after they attack so no AoO for Rani.

HEROES TURN!
Update MAP!

[Private to GM: we are here - https://www.dndbeyond.com/sour...in-need#Q2WatchPosts]

OOC: Alright! I'll take it. Marik will use a bonus action to switch to sword and board and will force future attacks to target him instead (Mounted Combat)


Marik ducks instinctively, all the while hanging his bow on two small hooks designed to this effet on the saddle and drawing his sword and shield. He trust his sword toward the large goblinoïd  while Rani roar and bites powerfully into the creature arm.


OOC: Alright, so Marik use his mounted combat feat (and not inspiration as I previously wroted it) to attack with advantage on the bugbear and roll 17, doing 9 points of piercing damage. He command Rani to use her reaction to attack as well, with 21 and 10 points of piercing damage.

OOC: Contrary to what I though originally, Marik does not have two attacks like other fighter classes (That's the Hunter conclave), so rectifying this here.

Seeing the cat-mounted elf and bugbear filling the hall, Omaron concentrates for a few moments. With a few chanted words, the dwarf dissipates into a swiftly moving cloud of mist. The mist shoots through the arrow slit, reforming into the solid dwarven form. He grins, drawing his axe and swinging at the goblins surprised faces.

Goblins? FIlimena thinks, an eyebrow raised. These creatures don’t quite fit how she’s imagined the Eyes so far. Catching a brief glimpse of the creature through the arrow slit, she fires of a quick pair of Eldritch Blasts, on the off chance one of them lands, before slipping as quickly as she can after the party through the tunnel.

OOC: I believe both hit

08:25, Today: Filimena the Gentle rolled 18,8,23,8 using d20+8,d10+5,d20+8,d10+5, rerolling ones with rolls of 10,3,{1}15,3.  Eldritch Blast w/ Agonising Blast.

OOC : Filimina while you can move thru the bugbears square you only have 25ft of movement/action and from where you are in the hall it is 45 ft to the nearest goblin and that would put you in melee range.

You could shoot at the goblin though the arrow slit near you, but I'd give him some cover.

Update MAP!

Raszire thunders in behind Marik, sees Rani face to face with the bugbear, and Omaron in the adjacent room with foes he can not yet see. He touches his mace-clenched fist to his chest and casts BLESS

He then readies his gaze on the bugbear and say to Marik, “We must dispatch of this beast and make it through to the next chamber. I fear that Omaron may have his hands full.”

OOC: Raszire targets Omaron, Filimena, and Marik with BLESS. Whenever a target makes an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack roll or saving throw.

OOC: Ack! Oops! Somehow I thought that arrow slit was a second door. Edited my last post. To reflect this. Basically Filimena will attempt to shoot one of the goblins through the slot, then use her remaining movement to get herself as far into the tunnel as possible.

Feeling somewhat less safe on the back of Rani, especially after feeling the wind from that club swing, Weasel decide to find another spot to watch the show.

He jump off the herbal bag and start to run on the inclined back of the panther, near Marik. Seeing the large form of Raszire just behind, Weasel takes a running jump and quickly escalade the heavy armor.

Finally, after grumbling something in rat about Raszire being so damn tall, he manage to climb on the dragonborn plated shoulder.

As if he anticipate Raz curious look, Weasel does his best imitation of a smile and a wink, except for rats, and grab on to the plates with his tiny fingers.

"Man, the view is much better from up here" he thinks as he takes a look around, prepared to watch the rest unfold.

The second goblin before Omaron follows it cohort in death.

Realizing that the recently transformed Weasel has now ascended to his shoulder, Raszire winks at the little creature and whispers "Stay with me my little friend, St. Fenwyn smiles upon us!"

He turns his focus to the bugbear, closes his eyes, and lowers his head and prays "Fenwyn, smite my enemies, for they know not of your greatness!" as he casts SACRED FLAME.
Flame-like radiance descends on the bugbear.

OOC: Sacred Flame Cantrip - The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d8 radiant damage. The target gains no benefit from cover for this saving throw. Save - Dex 14, Range - 60 ft.

13:53, Today: Raszire Toumash rolled 14 using 2d8 with rolls of 7,7. Sacred Flame Damage.

The long limbed goblinoid dodges out of the way of Razire's spell as though a creature possessed.

OOC 14:08, Today: Bugbear rolled 22 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 20.  Dex Save DC 14.

Sorry ... not sorry?

Omaron approaches the bugbear, stepping over it's fallen allies. "Are you part of the Eye Watches Eternal?" he growls menacingly.

OOC: Omaron - there aren't any goblins ... they're both dead

Marik grimace with pain under the heavy impact, feeling the shock from his shield to his spine. He feel the pain course though his body like a vibration in his bones.

He didn't heard the crack though...It's the only sign his arm might not be broken at the moment.

He hears Omaron shout something...something about the Eye. Whatever it is, he don't think the feral creature will listen but a word of it...Not in that state at least...


[Private to group Elf: "Rani, bring it down! Drag him prone!]" he says to the panther while preparing another trust. The creature swing left her chest completely exposed. He could go for the heart...But decide for the shoulder. And the short sword bites, stinging hard into the large muscles.

As this happen, the panther release the creature arm and instead bite powerfully into it's thigh, trying to destabilize it and bring it down.


OOC: So Marik roll 23 and does 5 points of piercing NON-LETHAL damage.
     Rani roll 20 and does 11 points of piercing NON-LETHAL damage.


OOC: Sorry Omaron, had to go with what Marik would do and I really doubt he would wait patiently while that large club still has a chance to swing.

Filimena grimaces at the crowded mess before her. Stepping firmly forward and nudging slightly into one of the dragonborn Raszire’s legs, she takes a quick peak around the corner, and attempts to fire off another pair of Eldritch Blasts, this time at the hulking, hairy beast presently assaulting Marik.

OOC: Rolled a 16 to hit doing 10 damage, and a 13 to hit doing 13 damage. Not sure if either of those hits since presumably there’s going to be some cover. If one of them does hit, though, Filimena also has Repelling Blast, so maybe shove the guy against the wall? Haha

The assault on the lone bugbear slays the goblinoid quickly.

As Marik prepare another assault, a flash of searing, hot and crackling light explode right in front of him. He wince and turn away, before opening his eyes again. As the white flash give place to other colors, he see the large goblinoïd on the ground, Rani still biting its thigh ferociously. It got blood coming out of it's left shoulder and a huge, gaping wound in the middle of it's chest, where blood pour over the charred and cripsy flesh.


He turn to look behind him, seeing Filimena lowering her hand. He breathe in relief, nodding appreciately at the halfling. He feel something dripping off his face.

He gently tap Rani sides, who imediately release her prey and look at him worried, her jaws scarlet red. He sheathe his sword and tap her head to tell her she's a good girl. He pass his hand on his face and the glove come out with spots of red. He must have blood sprayed all over the face.

"Nicely done" he says, as he look around and realize the fighting is over.

He tries to move his left arm. A flash of pain make him wince. He manage to lift it slowly and remove the shield, before taking a feel with his hand to inspect the damage done. Nothing broken, thank the spirits, just a large dark red spot that will make a epic bruise tomorrow morning.


He look around to look for Weasel, seeing the large rodent on top of Raszire shoulder pad. For a moment, Marik is reminded of a wierd looking tattoed fighter with a pet hamster he once passed by on the road. He only recall the hamster was named "Boo", for hearing the large man refer to it that way.

"Is...Is that normal?" he ask the rat, while looking straight into the rodent eyes.
