GM: does Ami have LoS on the baddie at F-18?

It doesn't appear so if I draw a line from best corner to best corner. You could move a space or two to the east on the rooftop to gain LOS, but that would probably betray your position.

Roger that. I didn't know how tall the tree is.

Abi keeps waiting, until trigger event occurs, as specified above.

What if you suddenly saw him through a large enough gap in the foliage to make a shot?

Let's say that heppens... I wanna get this popping!

Through a gap in the leafy green foliage before her, Abigail notices the rear floater come into sight. She raises an eyebrow. A squirrel scampers along a branch.

A clean shot, but the other floaters could still get closer yet to the killzone.

"Wait till you've got 'em where you want 'em, Abz," her peg-leg Pappy used to say, when he took her fishing out on his longboat.

The elven archeress takes a slow breath and the floater passes out of sight. I hope the ground guys don't flub their duties.

Go ahead, Matt.

Nothing until something changes or the targets enter the KZ.

Kruhl and Sam get one last chance to chime in before the floaters move.

Action = dodge
Stumble about

Sam is armed up and ready to fight... just waiting to spring the ambush

The floaters closest to Kruhl continue their advance, tentacles held high. Before they can reach teir prey, they reach the killzone. Abagail may take her readied action.

From Post #143

He has yet to go as well, but these 2 up front have been making their moves first and are ahead of the trailer. Theyve triggered your ready action by entering the killzone. Would you like to take it?

If they are all in the same initiative, then they would have moved at the same time. I know that they split up earlier, but the new map doesn't indicate that the rear guy moved up at all.

Just go, Rob... We've been waiting a week already, lol

It's fine. Let's say the one up north moves 10 feet down to F-20 by the time the others enter the killzone. Unleash the readied action.

Longbow shot at the floater at I-30.

Attack: Result of the throw of dice "1d20" : 14 + 12 = 26
Damage: Result of the throw of dice "1d8" : 6 + 6 = 12P.

Abagail lines up her shot and strikes the floater at the back of the group. The 2 nearest to Kruhl will both Reach out with their tentacles and attempt to grab him. The tattered rags give way as Kruhl slips from their grasp.

Floater 3 finishes it's movement as 3 of the waving, tentacled arms produce eyestalks at their tips. 3 different colored rays shoot forth towards Abagail.

DM: you misunderstand. Abi shot at the floater at I-30, which is one that is right next to Kruhl.

Abi saves

@Rob:  My mistake.  Ill change the damage count to the floater at I-30.

Abagail ducks back down as the 3 rays pass overhead.  Hawkes springs forth from his crumbled nook and swings his blades.  His rapier misses the first thrust, but strikes on the second (is that piercing damage?).  The followup swing of his cutlass misses the mark as well.

Crispy pops out, lets loose with 3 rays of fire, and ducks back in. The first 2 sear into the floaters around Kruhl, but the 3rd one misses it's target.

Renda explodes from his hiding place and moves to C31.
Activate "Rage" as a bonus action.
Makes two "Bite" Attacks vs adjacent foe.

Attack #1:

Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +6" :

11 + 6 = 17

Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +6" :

3 + 6 = 9

DMG if hits:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6 +6" :

6 + 6 = 12 P


Attack #2:

Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +6" :

16 + 6 = 22

Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +6" :

19 + 6 = 25

DMg if hits:

Result of the throw of dice "1d6 +6" :

3 + 6 = 9 P

Bonus necrotic dmg on first hit:
Result of the throw of dice "1d6 +2" :

5 + 2 = 7

C31 puts Renda near Sam under a tree.  Ill assume you meant G-31 and will tell me if I am wrong.  Renda finds a loose tentacle waving about and he chomps down twice.  Both bite attacks hit.  The blood that flows is like a dark ichor that tastes of wet ash.

The wounded bird gets his turn.  Go ahead Chris.

Kruhl will move 10ft north to H-29, drawing his warhammer.  It shouldn't provoke an AoO since he is not leaving their threat zone.  GM - if it does, just let me know and I will amend his movement.  He is trying to get closer to Hawkes.  H-29 keeps Renda in his 10ft Aura of Protection.

Kruhl targets the wounded tentacle beastie that Renda hit first, if it drops, his second swing will target the other adjacent enemy

warhammer - first swing

19 + 10 = 29

Result of the throw of dice "1d8 +12" :

As a bonus action, Kruhl casts Compelled Duel on the tentacle G-24 near Hawkes, who is now within 30ft

Compelled Duel
1st-level enchantment Casting Time 1 bonus action
Range 30 feet
Components V
Duration Conc. Up to 1 minute

A creature you can see makes a Wisdom save. If they fail, they have disadvantage when attacking a creature besides you, and they must pass a Wisdom save to move more than 30 feet from you. They only have to pass the save once in order to move freely for the rest of their turn.

If you try to harm any creature besides the target, if a friendly creature tries to harm the target, or if you end your turn more than 30 feet away from the target, the spell ends.

spell DC 16

"Come here, you ugly bugger!"

if it works, Alan, don't hit the taunted creature, let it come to me.

we are? we are! yes, of course
the last one floating

seems like there might be more on the way too, given their earlier pulsing

Kruhl slides between the two floaters without issue. First swing has near perfect placement on the floater and his followup swing also lands. 2 really nice hits there bring the first floater to the edge of death. Kruhl casts his spell, but notices no change in the demeanor of the floater to his north.

Sam will move to D-24 and hit the baddie next to Hawkes with a Firebolt (should be sneak attack)

Attack roll (will use Luck if needed)

Roll(1d20)+6:
20,+6
Total:26


What a nice start.... I have been able to double this damage in the past since it's a crit.

Damage:

Roll(2d10)+0:
8,7,+0
Total:15

Roll(2d10)+0:
8,5,+0
Total:13

Total of 28 damage

Sam will stay put after that to offer another target (and help Hawkes)

D-24 would be 50' of movement. Care to restate that portion? Nice crit btw, that's gonna be nasty.

Sam is at C-29, moving to D-24 should be about 30' if each square is 5'

shouldn't it?

if it is a crit, sneak attack damage is also doubled, which it doesn't appear you rolled at all

My bad,Josh. I glanced at the map and misidentified Abagail as Sam. Will resolve your turn after work.

oh FFS, thanks Chris. I thought I'd missed something. Duh...


Sneak Attack Damage:

Roll(5d6)+0:
5,6,6,6,3,+0
Total:26

Wow! Sam is incandescent on this attack.

So, that's 28 from the attack + 52 from the SA (if doubled due to the crit) for a total of 80 damage on this hit. Right?

Whoa...

lol... I'm really off my game today.

It's actually 86 points of damage total - doubled dice and +6 from Dex and Magical bonus
Holy fuck-balls!

and that was with your left hand!

... I'm really off my game, I should have thought of that. Good one!

Holy fuck-balls, indeed.  Sam's Firebolt causes the floater to burst and it falls to the ground.

Another floater appears to the north from one of the paths and 3 colored beams shoot forth from his eyestalks.
Green beam heads toward Kruhl.  Please make a DexSV.
Red beam heads toward Hawkes. Please make a ChaSV.
Yellow beam heads toward Sam. Please make an IntSV.

Floater #1 makes a tentacle and a bite attack to retaliate against Renda.  The bite misses, but the tentacles seem to have tiny, curved hooks all over them, causing 20 psychic damage (reduced to 10 for rage?) when they strike.  Additionally, Renda is "grappled" and must make an IntSV.

Floater #2 makes a similar set of attacks at Kruhl.  The bite and tentacle attacks both glance off his plate.  His eye pulses rapidly to the east.

Shield Master

  If you aren't incapacitated, you can add your shield's AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only you.


Kruhl lifts his shield against the ray

Dex save +9  (+4 Cha, +3 shield, +2 dex)

Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +9" :

7 + 9 = 16

No luck necessary. The beam strikes true, leaving behind a slight tingling sensation that Sam shrugs off.

Kruhl gets his shield up in time to intercept the ray and notices no effect.
