Siege of Bhornalduhr

Hawkes moves to g-28 and strikes first at bad dude 1, moving on to g-30 for bad dude 2 if #1 drops.

Rapier P/magic
Rolling "1d20 +10" 2 times

2: 9 + 10 = 19

Damage

1: 2 + 6 = 8
2: 4 + 6 = 10

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

Damage

5 + 5 = 10

Hawkes will need to be adjacent to a floater in order to attack. His first stop is no biggie, we can call it G-29 to attack floater #1. Please confirm Hawkes' second location, as G-30 is 10' away from an enemy. Maybe H-30?

Sorry. I had my coordinates mixed up. That’s cool.

Hawkes' first strike runs the floater through, dropping it.  He moves on to the second floater and strikes twice more, once with this rapier and once with his cutlass.  The floater pulases with a red glow in his main eye.

Crispy?

Fire Bolt
cantrip evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V S
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
You hurl a mote of fire at a creature or object within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 fire damage. A flammable object hit by this spell ignites if it isn’t being worn or carried.
This spell's damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).
Attack:
Roll(1d20)+7:
9,+7
Total:16

Damage:
Roll(2d10)+0:
7,7,+0
Total:14

He’ll once again duck back into his hiding place at L-24 and be finished.

Crispy hurls a smoldering mote at the floater to the north and it smashes into a waving tentacle.

The wind rustles gently through the trees, and although Abagail knows the colored rays came from an enemy in the distance, the 30 feet of foliage prevents her from identifying a target. What does she do?

Well, if she hasn't seen him in the last minute, she can't use Seeking Arrow on him. She pegs the floater at I-30, I guess.

1st Attack: Result of the throw of dice "1d20" : 15 + 12 = 27.
Damage: Result of the throw of dice "1d8" : 1 + 6 = 7P.

Extra Attack: Result of the throw of dice "1d20" : 17 + 12 = 29.
Damage: Result of the throw of dice "1d8" : 2 + 6 = 8P

Piss poor damage

Abagail draws down on the surrounded floater and threads a shot that finishes the menace off.

Crispy and Renda each notice a form moving towards the ruckus from the East. They will join the fight later tonight.

Both creatures are tall and slender, their movements smooth. The tentacles that come from their jaws twitch in excitement. They each emit a terrifing shriek that attempts to pierce the mind of anyone in the 60' cone.

#1 gets Crispy, Sam, and Kruhl
#2 gets Abagail, Renda, and Hawkes

Everyone please make an IntSV.

Thanks everyone. Renda, Sam, and Crispy fight off the blurring vision that accompanies the terrible shriek and suffer no lasting effects.

Abagail, Kruhl, and Hawkes are more suceptible in the moment of the attack, each taking 22 psychic damage. Additionally, they are stunned for 1 minute and can repeat the IntSV at the end of each of their respective turns until they beat the DC of 15. "Submit" they hear inside their heads,"and the breaking of your will shall be....generous".

Renda is up.

Lucky Hawkes! He also shakes off the numbing sensation that creeps up his spine. Renda can jump in later in the round. Kruhl, you may attempt your IntSV again.

Sam's up!

Sorry guys, will post ASAP. Final few days of moving/van prep is kicking my ass.

Sam will move to I-25 and (assuming he can still see the Mind Flayer, which I believe he can) he will send a Firebolt at him.

@Matt:  Thats fine.  Let us know when you are ready to act.

@Chris:  Nicely done.  Kruhl gathers himself and is no longer stunned.

Sam takes a few steps and peeks between the trees to his East.  He sees enough of the target to land his fire bolt before ducking behind cover that will surely conceal him from the target he just wounded.

The floater to the North can't be fooled so easily, and he fires off 3 colored rays at Sam, Hawkes, and Renda.

Sam, please make a StrSV
Hawkes, please make a ConSV
Renda, please make a WisSV

Hawkes closes the distance to m-33, casting healing word as a bonus action.

He attacks twice with the rapier.

Piercing and magical

Nice heal, good rolls, and that's a helluva modifier. Both hit Mind Flayer #2, who wails as he is pierced by Hawkes' rapier in the arm and the shoulder.

Whats cooking, Crispy?

Crispy takes a deep breath as he steps to M-25. He exhales with a roar, unleashing his draconic breath weapon (a 15’ cone of fire) at the Flayer located at O-25. The Flayer can Dex save for 1/2 damage (DC 15)
Roll(3d6)+0:
2,6,4,+0
Total:12

Next he will spend 2 Sorcery Points to Quicken a Burning Hands spell to cast as a bonus action and give the Flayer a second flame bath. Elemental Affinity grants a +3 damage bonus:
Roll(3d6)+3:
4,3,6,+3
Total:16 (Dex Save DC15 for 1/2)

Crispy will also unleash his Heart of Fire Boon, dealing an additional 3 Fire Damage to the Flayer (no save).

As he never reached melee range, no AoO from the Flayer. Crispy high tails it out of there, taking cover in the damaged building at M-28. He takes a route around the west end of that building, with the idea in mind that the Flayer he just BBQ’d will not see where he’s headed.

Finished.

Burning Hands
1 evocation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot cone)
Components: V S
Duration: Instantaneous
Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
As you hold your hands with thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

The Flayer manages to avoid the most concentrated part of the first breath, but it stuns him enough that Crispy adjusts and completely engulfs the creature with fiery goodness before escaping from view. 6+16+3 =25 fire damage really stings this guy.

Top of the round. Abagail gets to do cool stuff now unless Sam can jump in and do cool stuff.

Well, Sam still has to wait for Abigail, right?

Also, that image is tiny and really difficult to distinguish friend/foe. Any chance of the map being bigger?

Sorry Josh, I meant Renda can jump in, as his turn had been delayed.

I am not sure why the maps look small to you. I use both my phone and my laptop and it seems okay to me.

Renda still needs to make a WIS save, I think.

Yep, still waiting on the SV for renda and then potentially an action if he can post today.

Abagail snaps out of her stunned condition at the end of her turn.

Mind Flayers will act tonight.

Josh is also a bit color blind, so it may be harder for him to distinguish the red\blue

he original jpgs are just small for some reason... I blew them up in PP. since the orginal map was a small jpg, the quality is poor when enlarged, but there ya go

That's part of it Chris, thanks!

I also might need reading glasses for smaller print/things... I'm just stubborn and don't want to wear glasses. (I know, it's silly)

If anyone wants to take my PP or source photos and put them together in a way that is better for everyone, I'm all for it. That being said, I put quite a bit of time into it, so someone else would have to do the heavy lifting and then send the PP file to me.

The original was fine for me. Worked ok on iphone and pc.

I think we are good. I can see them fine too. It might be the viewer`s settings too. Its actually easier to just enlarge it once a week if someone needs than to do all the mapping. Just ask!

Joe, you are doing a great job for the first time GMing on the forum! Game on

I second Chris, great job dude. And the picture was fine, I just couldn't make out some of the images and blowing it up didn't seem to help. We're good now. Thanks!

Flayer 1 comes around the corner and instead of seeing the dragonborn who splashed him with fire, he sees the fake wounded bird the pets told him about. He advances to I-28 and reaches out to Kruhl with his tentacles. Kruhl's incredble AC of 20 keeps the the Mind Flayer's tentacles from ensnaring him as Kruhl expertly evades the grasping appendages.

Flayer 2 reaches out with his tentacles towards Hawkes, who has offered himself up as a target. He hits against the defenses of *metagame18* that Sutter Hawkes has to offer. As the Flayer makes contact around Hawkes's shoulders and neck, a bolt of searing pain overcomes him. Hawkes takes 18 poonts of psychic damage and is grappled and must make a DC15 IntSV or be stunned until the grapple ends.

Renda forfeits his action from last round and is on a 24 hour clock to take his turn (after resolving a WisSV I believe) or be on delay again.
