Talin gets ready to cast eldritch blast

10:34, Today: Talin rolled 5 using 1d20.  Dex / initiative

Morgan sees the enemies, and realizes the hobgoblins are the bigger threat, but the goblins can be sneaky. She charges to the left, leading with a wild slash at the hobgoblin that also shears into the goblin standing next to him. She keeps swinging, trying to press the attack while the party has the advantage, but can't connect again.

OOC: Initiative 19
Move: move to the west where the beds are on the map
Action: attacking the hobgoblin by the beds, hit for 9 damage, sweeping attack on adjacent goblin for 7 damage.
Action Surge to press attack on this hobgoblin if he's not dead, or on next goblin -- miss either way most likely.

21:41, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 9,10 using 1d20+6,1d8+6.  Action Surge attack.

21:31, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 7 using 1d8.  sweeping attack on goblin.

21:30, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 21,9 using 1d20+6,1d8+6.  attack, damage.

21:29, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 19 using 1d20+2.  Initiative.

Talin gathers energy to release in a blast of force.

Morgan leaped onto the beds on the west and made a sweeping strike that cut deeply into the first hobgoblin and cleaved into the first goblin, ending the little creature's life already. (H1 takes 9, G1 is dead) She tries for another strike, but the hobgoblin was able to fend this one off. (Miss)

Maric the Bearic rushed in to attack the hobgoblin in front of him. His bite attack was thwarted by a shield, and his claws parried with a longsword. Bearic growled in frustration, to which the hobgoblin replied with a cruel sneer. (Miss and miss)

Beatrice ran into the room, sliding under Maric's belly, and slid her rapier into the hobgoblin's stomach. Its sneer turned to a look of surprise, then blood ran lazily over its lip and down its chin as the hobgoblin crumbled and died. (H4 is dead)

Hobgoblin 1 swung at Morgan, but his longsword met the warrior woman's shield. (Miss)
Hobgoblin 2 fired a longbow at Maric, piercing the bear's hide, but only just. (Maric takes 2 piercing damage)
Hobgoblin 3 also fires a longbow at Maric, with a much better shot. (Maric takes 7 damage)
Hobgoblin 4 is already dead.
Goblin 1 is already dead.
Goblin 2 fires a shortbow at Morgan, but it bounces off her armor. (miss)
Goblin 3 attacks Maric with a shortsword, but barely manages to slice through a couple of strands of fur. (Miss)

The Bear returns for a second engagement with the hobgoblins:

23:06, Today: Maric Arumae rolled 11 using 2d6+4 with rolls of 1,6.  Damage.

23:05, Today: Maric Arumae rolled 19 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 13.  Attack claws.

23:02, Today: Maric Arumae rolled 18 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 12.  Bite attack.


ooc:looks like 11 bite dmg & 11 claw damage to the same Hobgoblin

Morgan pounds against the hobgoblin viciously with her sword, but is unable to break through his armor.

13:53, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 16,13 using 1d20+6,1d8+6.  attack hobgoblin/damage.

With the remaining hobgoblin hopefully handled by Bearic, Betty turns her attention to one of the two Goblins in the room. She strikes true, severely wounding it, but not quite killing it outright.

Today: Beatrice Thornhall rolled 23, 5 using 1d20+5,1d8+3 ((Attack, Damage))

Talin lined up his shot and took a goblin's head clean off it's shoulders. (G3 is dead)

Morgan pounds against the hobgoblin viciously with her sword, but is unable to break through his armor. (Miss)

Maric moves up and rips a hobgoblin to shreds. (H3 is dead)

Beatrice slides over to target the final goblin, not quite killing it, but delivering a serious wound. (5 damage to G2)

Hobgoblin 1 counter-attacks Morgan, landing a powerful blow with its longsword. (Morgan takes 9 slashing damage)
Hobgoblin 2 fires an arrow at Betty, but he should have known better than to target the agile little bundle of fierceness. (miss)
Hobgoblin 3 is killed by Maric.
Goblin 2 tries to attack the Bear, but continues to disappoint even himself. (miss)
Goblin 3 is killed by Talin.

01:41, Today: Psynister rolled 10,6 using d20+4,d6+2.  Goblin attack.
01:41, Today: Psynister rolled 10,3 using d20+3,d8+1.  Hobgoblin Longbow.
01:41, Today: Psynister rolled 21,9 using d20+3,d8+1.  Hobgoblin Longsword.

Round 3

When the hobgoblin slashes at Morgan, she manages to twist aside just in time to change what would have been a serious cut into a minor scratch. Then she retaliates by lopping the hobgoblin's head off his shoulders.


Bonus Action: Second Wind, heal 8hp
Action: Attack, hits for 8 slashing damage

15:47, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 8 using 1d10+3.  Second Wind.

15:46, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 24,8 using 1d20+6,1d8+6.  attack, damage.

Maric searches for the next closest enemy, which seems to be a goblin. Here we go:

Bite attack seems to hit the crunchy critter:

17:41, Today: Maric Arumae rolled 12 using 1d8+4 with rolls of 8.  Bite Damage.

17:39, Today: Maric Arumae rolled 15 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 9.  Melee attack.

Assuming the gobin is dead: Bearic attacks the nearest enemy with his claws.

The nearest enemy probably did not take any damage from the claws, 10 to the attack roll. Of course, it is a goblin, so I'll wait with bated breath for the gamemaster's ruling.

Appalled, but not quite enraged, Betty turns her attention to the Hobgoblin that dared fire at her. Had she not batted the arrow aside at the last second, it might have severed one of her hair ribbons...

The audacity of the creature draws Betty's ire. "OH! YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME, I SUPPOSE!" she yells, moving quickly to strike. The creature tries to retaliate, but the ferocity of her attack sees the blade of the rapier bite deeply into his throat, severing arteries and vocal apparatus alike. He can't even scream as blood fountains out of the would before he dies.

Today: Beatrice Thornhall rolled 24,11 using 1d20+5,1d8+3 ((Attack, Damage))

Talin sent a blast at one of the hobgoblins, taking the guy's head clean off. (H2 is dead)

Morgan, not one to be outdone, slices her target's head off in response. (H1 is dead)

Maric and Beatrice pull off a combo attack of tooth, claw, and blade, that leaves the goblin in several pieces. (G2 is exceedingly dead)

Hobgoblin 1 is killed by Morgan.
Hobgoblin 2 is killed by Tallin.
Goblin 2 no longer exists after the combined efforts of Betty and Maric.

End of Combat

"That was fun. Let's go find some more."

"Agreed. That was fun." Betty said, a hint of bloodlust lingering in her eyes.

All of the walls and things are in place this time, but consider all doors to be open and unlocked so you don't need to use Item Interaction actions to get through them.

Roll initiative. If you beat a 12, also post an action. Otherwise, just post your initiative.

Initiative: Bearic 21:53, Today: Maric Arumae rolled 22 using 1d20+2 ((20)).

Bearic attack: Natural 20 Bite - 1d8+4 = 12x2 = 24 points on goblin #1

Bearic attack: 11 points damage, claw/claw two the second goblin.

That started off good and got better...

one thing, Bearic is at the top of map, north. He attacked the two nearest to him.

11:52, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 6 using 1d20+2.  Initiative.

Gotta wait my turn.

Betty charges in eagerly behind Bearic. Seeing him take out the first two goblins inspires her to move into the room and take on the 3rd. She slashes out with her rapier, but unfortunately, her thrust misses the agile Goblin, and her embarrassment quickly begins to turn to anger...

Today: Beatrice Thornhall rolled 16 using 1d20+3, rerolling all ones ((Initiative))
Today: Beatrice Thornhall rolled 12,11 using 1d20+5,1d8+3 ((Attack, Damage))
Uh. Oh.

Morgan prepares for battle.

Talin watches for an opening.

Maric bit the head clean off of one goblin, red-gray mushy bits flying to either side of his clenching jaws, then raked his claws through the stomach of a second one, killing both instantly. (G1 and G2 are dead)

Beatrice ran around Morgan's legs and straight through Bearics, and into the face of a waiting goblin. The agile little greeny pulled back reflexively and seemed even a bit surprised himself that he had dodged the blade, then smiled as he got cocky. (miss)

Goblin 1 was killed by Maric.
Goblin 2 was killed by Maric.
Goblin 3 countered Betty's attack with a quick jab of its shortsword. (Betty takes 3 piercing)
Goblin 4 goes for Betty as well, but the little lady was more than up to the task as she knocked the shortsword away with her bare hand, unharmed. (miss)
Goblin 5 joined in the pack's assault on Betty and took a stab at her too. His luck was better than the previous, landing a very solid blow even if it did not penetrate the armor. (Betty takes 8 piercing)
Goblin 6 took a turn as well, encouraged by his companions, and once again the little barbarian found herself at the tip of a sword. This time, blood had started to flow. (Betty takes 4 piercing)
00:07, Today: Psynister rolled 17,4 using d20+4,d6+2.  Goblin attack.
00:05, Today: Psynister rolled 18,8 using d20+4,d6+2.  Goblin attack.
00:05, Today: Psynister rolled 9,3 using d20+4,d6+2.  Goblin attack.
00:03, Today: Psynister rolled 19,3 using d20+4,d6+2.  Goblin attack.

Goblin 7 came rushing around a partial wall and stabbed at Maric, but even a blind child could have dodged such a strike. (miss)
Goblin 8 moved up at the back of the group and fired an arrow at Maric, piercing flesh but bouncing out against bone. (Maric takes 4 piercing)
The Grick reaches out its tentacles, grabbing Betty and pulling her toward it's large beak to bite her as well, which she thankfully managed to avoid. (Betty takes 4 slashing)
The Owlbear charged out of the southern door, and came at Morgan and Talin from the south. It was a long enough distance that it had not yet managed to attack, but it certainly planned to in the next few seconds. (moved and dashed)

Round 2 - Fight!

"Talin, get back!" Morgan yells as she slices into the owlbear. She moves to interpose herself between the beast and the warlock, and hefts her shield towards the creature's shoulder, hoping to shift it back.

Action: Attack owlbear, hit for 17 total damage with maneuvering strike (Talin can move as a reaction without drawing an attack of opportunity)
Bonus Action: Shield Push to move the owlbear back 5', Str DC 22 to resist
Move Action: shift 5' west, and if the owlbear is moved, 5' south with it.

16:20, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 22 using 1d20+6.  Shove Attack on owlbear.

16:20, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 5 using 1d8.  Maneuvering Attack.

16:19, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 25,12 using 1d20+6,1d8+6.  attack/damage on owlbear.

16:38, Today: Maric Arumae rolled 25 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 19.  To hit or not to hit, that is the question..

16:38, Today: Maric Arumae rolled 22 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 16.  To hit or not to hit, that is the question...

Damage: Bite Total of 15 points damage counting the crit roll.

Claws 11 points damage.


By the way, I'm stalking the goblins to get to the funky weird thing.

Well. This is it, I suppose. Betty thought to herself as she breathed heavily, bleeding from nearly half a dozen wounds. Stupid. Stupid move. Overconfident. Headstrong.

Worse, now I can't ... She looked over a Bearic with regret and, yes, longing. Not for the bear, of course, but for the man inside it.

She smiled, sadly.

Then, with a sudden flash of intensity, angrily. Her eyes flashed crimson and a wild, hysterical laughter gripped her small frame. "FINE!" she said, turning her face to the monstrosity that had ensnared her. "YOU WANNA SEND ME TO HELL!? I'LL TAKE YOU WITH ME, YOU BASTARD!"

She lashes out with a fierce strike, carving a deep, bloody gash into the creature's hide.

Today: Beatrice Thornhall rolled 23,11 using 1d20+4,1d8+6.  <Rage Attack, Damage>
Sorry for the dupe roll, I accidentally refreshed the page. -Ken

Morgan sent Talin back for his own safety, and put herself between the warlock and their assailant, and cut into it with a powerful stroke. (owlbear takes 17) Then she rammed the beast with her shield to push it further away, only to find it perfectly matched to her own strength. (no push)
18:48, Today: Psynister, for the NPC Owlbear, rolled 22 using 1d20+5.  Str Check.

Talin did as he was told, looking for the best options to get away from the big creature before settling on running through the nearby door to the west. There he turned and blasted the owlbear. (owlbear takes 7)
18:54, Today: Psynister, on behalf of Talin, rolled 20,7 using d20+5,d10+3.  Eldritch Blast.

Maric slaughters two of the goblins as he pushes through to the creature trying to eat Betty. (G3 and G5 are dead)

Beatrice stabs the tentacle creature with her rapier. The sword bites into the flesh, but not quite as deeply as she had hoped considering the power she put behind it. (6 damage to Grick, who is resistant to piercing damage)

Goblin 3 is killed by Maric.
Goblin 4 stabs Maric in the hind leg. (Maric takes 4 piercing)
Goblin 5 is killed by Maric.
Goblin 6 attacks Maric, but misses.
Goblin 7 stabs Maric directly in the buttocks. (Maric takes 3 piercing)
Goblin 8 tries to stab Betty but his blade is knocked aside by flailing tentacles. (miss)
The Grick digs its tentacles into Betty further, biting in deep, but once again she avoids the powerful beak. (Beatrice takes 10 slashing, reduced to 5 by Rage)
19:07, Today: Psynister rolled 21,10,5,7 using d20+4,2d6+2,d20+4,1d6+2.  Grick: Tentacle, Beak.

The Owlbear tried to bite Morgan, but was battered away by her shield. The sweeping claw, however, came around her shield and cut a powerful gash into her ribs that sheered through even her armor. (Morgan takes 16 slashing damage)
19:09, Today: Psynister rolled 9,8,26,16 using d20+7,d10+5,d20+7,2d8+5.  Owlbear: Beak, Claw.

Round 3

Advice: In 5E, whichever side has the highest number of actions they can take each turn is the side that has the advantage. You have one enemy with a lot of HP, one with less HP but is resistant to damage, and then some squishy goblins chipping away at your hit points. The big guys can hit hard, but taking out goblins first increases your odds a lot.

Maric rolled 11 to Attack: Bite. If it hits, it is 11 pts damage nearest goblins

Maric rolled 12 to Attack: Claws If it hits, that's 13 points of damage, nearest goblin

"Maric!" Betty calls, wincing in pain. "Get this tentacle thing offa me before this turns into hentai!" In pain and lashing out, her rage-brain is distracted by the audacity of one of the goblins actually trying to attack her. "Oh! You want some of Betty, too, I suppose!?" For his efforts, she skewers the goblin right through the eye.

Today: Beatrice Thornhall rolled 15,13 using 1d20+4,1d8+6 ((Rage Attack, Damage - Goblin 8)).
OOC: I seem to recall we got Healing Potions at some point, but I'm not sure and I'm not seeing it on my sheet. If I'm right, Betty will use her free action to drink from the potion, if possible. -Ken

Morgan cries out in pain as the owlbear's claw rips her side open. She tries to focus through the pain, but her sword arm isn't enough to wound the creature again this round. Still, she remains defiant, "I hope I give you diarrhea when you eat me."

Action: Attack, miss by 1.

13:17, Today: Morgan Ironwolf rolled 12,9 using 1d20+6,1d8+6.  attack/damage on owlbear.
