Skirmish In the Iron-Heart caverns

[harknail]

Although she's sure it will be futile, Katril tries talking first, "We aren't here for personal gain. I won't be keeping or selling any of these treasures. Rather we seek to return these to their rightful owners, the dwarves, so that they can escape from captivity. I'm trying to provide them with arms and armor so that they can fight the orcs that are holding them captive. Of course will be fighting alongside them. But when all is done, I will not have profited from this task. I am risking my life not for greed, but for goodness. I seek to help those who have been unjustly persecuted."

Since she really means what she says, she doesn't attack first. Instead she prepares to dodge any attack that comes her way. She doesn't expect this construct to actually listen to reason.

Move action: Move towards the voice, and away from companions so that they won't be caught in a breath attack targeted at her.
Standard action: Dodge
Free action: Talk a lot

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

Kizthe H : She will branch off to a hiding place with a clear shot. She looks at her sling and realized its not going to do a hole lot, even with her best fling shot.

So normally she would bonus action hide : However do to one of her abilities she is invisible while in darkness to those who have darkvision.

bonus action : Hunters Mark. so extra 1d6 per weapon attack hit from her.

under her breath, " If only there were weapons or gear that could help us in here... then she realized something.

passive perception
as she looks around she sees there is a Longbow with engravings on it. As she picks it up along with a few arrows it shrinks to her hand size.

tw93bqNFp_1-20 with advantage because the enemy does not know where she is. p_1-20+12= 23 hits.

p_1-20 with advantage for all 3 shots this round are split second appart. p_1-20 +12= 30 hits

p_1-20    p_1-20+12= 22 hits.

Just so i don't lose track of her dmg dice this turn :

3d8 + 12 ( from dex ) +6 (from the +2 bow.)
2d6 from her sneak attack
3d6 from hunters mark given all 3 hit.
extra 1d8 for dead ambusher ability.

so total of 4d8+5d6+18 From her attack round.

vs Fiseath

p_1-20 +9 = 25 to hit him

p_1-10 p_1-10 p_1-10 = 18. ( If you use a ki pt you only need to get 18 or better to take zero dmg.) 

p_1-6 p_1-6 p_1-6 p_1-6= ( 20 force dmg however the initial dmg has to have at least 1 pt of dmg for this dmg to apply)

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

( I just relooked just now : deflect missiles only uses a ki if after making your roll the initial dmg gets to 0. then use a ki pt to toss it back as an attack. It does take up your reaction to do so.)

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

The dragon then lets out a double Roar. It was very upset that it was being pelted with attacks but it had to deal with the pest next to it first.

Bite 6M2VVeN7p_1-20+10= crit

[harknail]

Katril was dodging instead of attacking, so the attack on her should have had disadvantage. Change it will miss on the second roll...

[at]

(is it Callo's action, or still more from the dragon?)

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

Most definitely, Dragons just need to update its move.

Its going to be 15 ft over head the main group of the party. ( not sure no roll20 how to show its above the party without covering up all your sqs ) so callo and the majority of party would see it currently flying over them.

Fiseath will get his aoo if he is still up yet given from my calculation he most likely may have gone down to zero hp.

9VGNLlemp_1-20+8 = misses.

The blot hits the pillar near Katril. As she looks her brother is getting teared into by the dragon giving her brother no quarter.

1-20

[at]

Callo moves away from the dragons shadow, creating illusionary duplicates as she did. The ballista were clearly magical but could perhaps be contained if the rails were damaged, and Callo unleashes a lightning blast at the closest point causing electricity to arc around the room.

SPOILER: Click to show

Mirror image and quickened fireball at the two top left crossbows - unless a lightning bolt would arc along the rails
WTDJycVcp_1-8p_1-8p_1-8p_1-8p_1-8p_1-8p_1-8p_1-8=35 damage

1-8�1-8�1-8�1-8�1-8�1-8�1-8�1-8

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

( I would say because of the metal rails I am alowing the lightning bolt to affect the rails and the things upon them for they are all soildly connected together, hence i don't see issues with this creative approach to the situation. )

[namklim]

Reaction to deflect balista:

0Tdfsadsp_1-10 + 5 + 9 = 21

So I avoid the balista.

This puts me at near dead.

Dragon drops me, then hits me for a free crit, I am at 2 fails.  0/57 HP.

1-10

[harknail]

Confirmed with DM that Balista missed due to Katril dodging instead of attacking

Katril looks at what happened to her brother and deeply regrets not attacking when she had the chance. That that could have been her if she attacked never enters her mind. As she sees it, her brother got badly hurt due to her mistake.

Planned action (unless someone else treats Fiseath before she goes again):
Katril didn't know how to treat her brother herself, but she could get him to someone that could save him. She dashes over to her collaped brother, scoops him up, and carries him over to the cleric. "Please save my brother!"

OOC: Spend Ki point to Dodge as bonus action, so that she can survive to get her brother to safety.

[harknail]

OOC: DM reminded me that we've picked up potions of healing along with other treasures from the dwarven dormitories. I've added these to Katril's character sheet under group treasure so as not to forget them. DM is allowing us to retcon who's carrying what. I'm assuming Katril is carrying anything unclaimed for use in our prisoner rescue efforts (she's just carrying it, not claiming any as hers).

100 PP, 4,000 Gold, 30 gems worth 75 gp each
8 Potions of Healing (2d4+2)
6 Potions of Greater Healing (4d4+4)
5 Potions of Major Healing (6d4+6)

( Medic and healing are on the way. will post the last 2 of round 1 asap. )

Omar : " I'll go on healing duty, Varis I need you to keep the dragon as busy as you possibly can."

" Right that won't be easy but I'll think of something."

Varis looks for a possible ranged weapon. He finds something close a gold length of chain.

Free skill action for turn he attaches his oath sword to the chain.

He then sees a metal javelin with dwarven markings. " Well I might as well use both at this point here goes nothing !"


Varis bonus action rage.

He picks it up and chucks it at the Dragon.

Not using reckless but does have Advantage on his first attack from the guiding bolt.


7VngLvpvp_1-20+9= 18 hits

p_1-20+9= 15

the bolt turns into a smaller lighting bolt that callo had fired off just moments before.


Initial bolt dmg : p_1-6p_1-6p_1-6p_1-6 = 12 possible lightning dmg : Dc 13 or takes half dmg . It is considered a magic attack.

Then on a hit it does p_1-6+9= 10 ( from +5 Str and + 4 from rage) along with p_1-6p_1-6p_1-6p_1-6  14 lightning dmg = 24 pts of dmg


Does not need reckless for the Oath sword while Vari's oath is on a target gives him advantage with swings from that sword and only on that target.

saying a oath under his breath, Varis holding onto the chain flings the sword upwards into the mechanical dragon.


p_1-20+9 = 25 hits

p_1-20+9 = does not matter for the 25 hit.

p_1-6 p_1-6 + oath sword ability p_1-6p_1-6p_1-6+4 from rage + 5 = 28 pts from oath sword.

will post Omar healing in next post. 

The same oil that was in the game room started leaking out of the mechanical Dragon. ( It is officially taken enough dmg to be bloodied.)

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

Beacon of hope he is able to get the hole party in that.

advantage on will saves and death saves. regains max hp from any healing.

Omar using a 4th lv bonus action healing spell on Fiseath : That being a 4rd lv healing word.

4+4+4+4+5. He gets back 21 hp and the 2 death saves he had reset back to zero.
