The grass is always Greenest....

Moon moves to the door, briefly weighing the odds, Moon sees opportunity to shorten the life of our masked "friend".

Attack (Shove a creature)
Moving to J20 he sails past his compatriots, sweeping the leg (Johnny!) of our masked "friend" with his quarterstaff to try and topple him:
Strength (Athletics) check: Roll (16+3) =19

Bonus Attack STOMP!!!
(9+5) = 13
DMG (2+3)=5

Let's hope this works, or I might just look a little foolish:)

Nice combo!

Moon uses a foot sweep to send the masked man to the ground! He hits with a thud and a slight gasp as the wind is forced from his lungs.

The bonus attack roll of 13 is just barely a miss, however, when your target is prone and you make a melee attack, you get ADVANTAGE on the attack roll.

please roll again for the stomp attack roll

Moon does a quick tap dance on the masked man's head.  He looks battered but not dead.

at 5, the Ambush Drake barrels down on Moon.  The Drake also enjoys Pack Tactics, which counts the prone masked man, who is not incapacitated (yet).

The Ambush Drake takes a bite out of Moon's leg

Result of the throw of dice "1d6 +1" :

4 + 1 = 5  piercing damage

Moon cries out in pain as the Ambush Drake rends his flesh - he stumbles with weakness, but remains calm. Bleeding out, clinging to dear life and he looks to his companions with his silvery eye and smiles a weak smile.

Knocking a Creature Out
Sometimes an attacker wants to incapacitate a foe, rather than deal a killing blow. When an attacker reduces a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack, the attacker can knock the creature out. The attacker can make this choice the instant the damage is dealt. The creature falls unconscious and is stable.

Gorlug thumps the masked man on the head.  He takes a nap at his feet.  

Masked Man cannot take his turn, so we are back to Quain!

*Reminder: Clyde cast Bless last round, so Titus, Gorlug, and Moon all have an extra 1d4 to add to an attack or save.

You bless up to three creatures of your choice within range. 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.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st.

At a range of 30 feet, the spells enchantment should benefit Gorlug, Titus, and Moon.

It applies to both rolls!
The second roll is still a miss.

Titus refuses to be outdone by Clyde delivers a crushing blow to the beast's head.  It looks dazed.  It shakes the stars from its eyes and turns its attention to Titus.  It gnashes its teeth, but finds nothing more than Titus' armor to eat.

Quain waits patiently, crouching in the dark corner like a house cat.  The first kobold rushes through the smoke and doorway, yipping in excitement for a fight.  He takes no notice of her in the shadows.  

Quain waits.  He runs through the church and opens a door on the interior wall, then disappears into the ante chamber.  Another kobld enters following the first.  He stops just at the doorway.  

Quain waits, the threads of magic dangling in the air awaiting completion.

A third kobold enters and decides to head for the main door when he sees the interior doorway is now clogged.

Quain waits until the 4th kobold enters.  When he enters he is still in the leftover smoke cloud from the failed hay fire.  

triggered action - Quain has LOS on 3 kobolds



Quain finishes the incantation and darts of force fly from her fingers!


@Matt - declare targets and roll damage please

Rolling "1d4 +1" 3 times

Target 1: 4 + 1 = 5/ P-14
Target 2: 4 + 1 = 5/ P-12
Target 3: 1 + 1 = 2/ 0-12

Quain can't see P-14 as he passed through the door.  

Bolts of pure magical Force slam into P-12, O-12 and I will assume Q-4.  The 2 kobolds by the door drop dead upon impact.  The pokiest little puppy is still alive.  He still can't see where the attack came from, as he is in the remnant smoke cloud.

Moon is up

"ALMOST a hat trick!" Quain chuckles as the third target slips through the door and past her bolt. "A miss is an opportunity to improve one's aim...as the High Mother Hag was oft to say."

Moon turns back to the Ambush Drake with his bloody smile and centers himself.
Feeling strangely buoyed by Clyde's cheerleading, he unleashes on the injured creature in a whirlwind with a quarterstaff strike followed by a spin kick.

Quarterstaff attack: (12+5) = 17 + Bless 1d4 (4) = 21
Damage: 1d8+3 (5 + 3) = 8

Spin kick attack: (7 +5) = 12 + Bless 1d4 (4) = 16

Gorlug storms to 0-15, bloody sword raised and readies an attack. “You’ve lost. Drop your weapons and flee,” he growls.

Moon takes a seat.

Gorlug rushes at the kobold with a snarling threat.

Ready action, Fire bolt, Quain gains LOS on Any enemy target.

Quain has LOS on kobold Q-4 that was injured, but not killed by her MM last round. It is standing in the corner, partially obscured by smoke.

FIRE AWAY!

12 + 5 = 17

so sorry guys! I got slammed at work and ended up in a hearing for most of yesterday. I will update today

The last kobold joins his friend in a fiery death!

Combat is over, good job on making a plan and sticking to the tactics.


The dragon is still taking periodic passes at the Keep.

The town is still burning.

There are other roving bands (hoodies, masks and kobolds) looting and killing with abandon.


The party had been on its way to the Keep via the stream, prior to seeing the temple siege. Do you want to continue on that path or do something different?

Titus will retrieve his crossbow and reload it.

“The farmer is wounded,” indicating Moon in the only way Gorlug knows to identify someone who fights with a stick and no armor.

He walks over to moon to help him up. “You fight well, but we should get you a shield.”

Gorlug has limited healing resources and is not smart enough to know that he should let the cleric heal with dice and then fill his points in where the dice show low numbers. He will heal Moon for 4hp if nobody stops him. Going once?

"I am no healer, is anyone here able to help the farmer?" she states as she quickly searches the leader/mask guy.

"We should press onwards as planned..."

Titus goes to body-rob for whatever he can find...

(in a quiet voice) 'bloody farmers should stay on the farm..."

“Careful witch. He’s still alive. We should tie him up and take him to the keep so the authorities there can question him.”

Titus goes over to the masked man.... "I'll be happy to question him..." (with an evil grin).

Titus rips off his mask and holds his crossbow at the guys nuts... "wakey, wakey scumbag" (waits for the guy to stir)

Hey Josh, maybe resolve either of your two stated actions before steamrolling onto the search/interaction I was trying to do?

Hey Matt, I just checked the last few comments and I don't see that you planned on doing anything with him, other than turning him over to some kind of authorities.

What action did I try to interrupt, exactly? If it's that big a deal, he'll stand down for now

Clyde will cast Cure Wounds on Farmer Moon.

Cure Wounds

I stated I was searching him in post n237, Which I was trying to do while he was out, then of course I paused and waited for the GM. Hence prompting Alans warning that he is still alive and to be careful.

then I apologize, I missed that somehow. Cancel my declared action (other than just retrieving the crossbow)

So that it is said, Gorlug retrieves javelins before leaving.

“We will carve a path through the heart of this lawlessness to the keep.”

 sorry for being a slow GM, that doesn't help either.  I am glad you guys got it resolved on your own.

Post combat resolution, in order posted:


Titus picks up his xbow and reloads it

Gorlug helps Moon up

Quain makes a suggestion and searches the unconscious masked man.  She finds the following:  scimitar, leather armor, draconic mask, black cloak with a draconic emblem, jewelry (probably looted) worth 150gp.  

Clyde calls upon Helm.  Moon feels a warmth, like a blacksmith's fire, wash over him.  He is amazed as his wounds close themselves.

____________________________________________________________________________________

Gorlug warns the witch

Titus joins the others at the masked man and threatens the unconscious fellow

Gorlug picks up his lawn Jarts

__________________________________________________________________________________

How to proceed to the keep?

Quain suggested moving as planned, along the stream

Gorlug wants to go straight through the enemies



What is the final decision?  
Feel free to roleplay it out and take any other actions

whit10 wrote:then I apologize, I missed that somehow. Cancel my declared action (other than just retrieving the crossbow)

All good, just clearing things up

“Anyone else injured?”

@everyone Sorry Claire and I have been camping, I forgot to let ya’ll know.

@in-game

Moon turns to Gorlug as he lifts him up, puts an arm up on his shoulder for support, “I appreciate it, name’s Moon. Thank you. I can walk.”

As Moon hears Helm’s words and feels the healing fires. He IS amazed, has witnessed the healing arts of his masters, but never experienced himself. He watches As his wounds heal before his eyes. “I am grateful for your healing Clyde, I count you a friend”.Reinvigorated, he turns to the group, “the beast is still flying above and what of our masked friend? Anything they know?”

He walks by Gorlug and slaps him on the shoulder in a gesture of good will.
