You set out after the fleeing hobgoblins.
Please roll me a stealth check and, in advance, initiative.

Brohm snorted in dismissal of the foolishness of charging into the fray.  Foolish.. He thought to himself, then turned, pulling the bear head of his cloak over his helm,vand stepped further into the forest, blending into the environment.  He started tracking the escapees.  No good will come of them making a report.  Smith is not ready for war.. He thought.


08:17, Today: Brohm of Clan Stonehelm rolled 9 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 7.  Initiative.

08:17, Today: Brohm of Clan Stonehelm rolled 24 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 16.  Stealth.

As you follow the trail left by your fleeing prey it doesn't take you long to catch up to a pair of hobgoblins standing in the road talking among themselves, "[Language unknown: Ove sheithect po m ofacpo ti outhi les som. Icri setinecom olni n any en hatavetin thunteati our tinatinot ssniut.]"
Go ahead and pick where you'd like to be on the map. They are surprised for the first round so go ahead and post your first round action as well.

Map is as follows.

Darkened Spaces = Road
t = Tree
E# = Enemy

There were 4 escapees from Brohms' group.  With only two visible, where do the tracks go?

My bad, map fixed.

Map is as follows.

Darkened Spaces = Road
t = Tree
E# = Enemy

A vicious smile creasses his lips for a brief moment.  He quietly positions two javelins in easy casting reach, as he observes the quad of bugbears.  Then, from his spot behind the trees, he tosses first one javelin, then the next at the bugbears.


Brohm is at F9.

And with the throws of those two javelins both hobgoblins fall to the ground with a thud in the snow. The two that remain standing turn to see you and glare, but out of shock they seem slow to act just yet.

The hobgoblins rolled a lower initiative than you, and they're surprised. Go ahead and post for round 2.

With a cold grin through his thick beard, Brohm hurls first one javelin, then another at the two remaining Hobgoblins.  The remains of their dead comrades still steaming in the cold air, as the two deadly missiles hurtle home.

You watch as the as the next hobgoblin falls with your javelin embedded in its back. The last one looks at the javelin that just nicked a gash in its side and turn to start running away from you. It dashes 60ft away from you off the map.
We will be switching over to the chase rules from the DMG for the remainder of this encounter or until the hobgoblin stops trying to flee. Please state your actions and roll a d20. Please keep in mind that in chase rules you have a number of dashes equal to 3 + your Con Mod before you start having to make Con checks at the ends of your turns to avoid exhaustion.

The last Hobgoblin is then 80' from Brohm, correct?

Yes

Just to be completely clear, the hobgoblin is 80' away, with his back to Brohm, correct?  Does that give Advantage to any attacks, as they cannot see them coming?

Yes the hobgoblin is 80ft away with their back turned. No this does not give you advantage on any attacks.

Brohm smirks as the hobgoblin runs.  Taking a step forward, he hurls his last javelin at the fleeing creatures back.


Bonus Action: Switching Hunter's Mark to the fleeing hobgoblin.

Action: Javelin Attack on the fleeing hobgoblin.

Attack: 14

You watch as the javelin you hurled flies wide and off into the distance away from the hobgoblin. The hobgoblin continues to flee away from you putting another 60ft in between you. There is now a total of 140ft between you and the hobgoblin you can just barely see.

Next round actions please and roll me 1d20 please.

With an irritated grunt, Brohm follows the hobgoblin.  The sturdy Dwarf alert to dangers, as he pursues the fleeing creature.  His shield ready on his arm, and his hand ready to draw his axe.  He knows he's not as fast as the hobgoblin, but he's a Dwarf, and he will wear the creature down over days, if necessary.


Dashing: 50'
