[Play-by-Post] Tales from Fourtower Bridge

[ERYFKRAD]

Spoiler

Rolled a 15.

You let out a roar and draw the ire of the three wolves approaching from the north. The other enemies stay laser focused on their target. Are you using that roar as an action?

Yeah. I think so

 

[Catacombs]

Okay. No need to update the map.

It's GrafvonMoltke's turn now.

"The running dorf 2"

Spoiler

Can Kilur run up to the fire,
lit up his torch from it or just grab an already burning stick
and throw it to the (about) indicated spot?

If that plan is not possible, does Kilur understand that the wolves will go for Brytter?
If he does, then delay action till the end of the turn.
And if he does not, I'll need to think what else he can do.

Question

Kilur running and throwing the torch is possible. I'm interpreting that as your movement (running to the fire) and action (throwing torch toward H and B2). Are you cool with that?

 

[Catacombs]

Battle Log
+------------------+

Kilur ran to Jess and Mumbles. He slid down, grabbing a stick and sticking it into the fire. Within a second, the dwarf jumped to his feet and threw the torch, with all his might, at the Hunter and the Bodyguard. The torch landed a few feet from them but gave enough light for everyone to see them through the thick woods and darkness.

Wolf 2 ran toward Mardrey. She anticipated enemy movement and sent a poison spray at the creature, dealing 7 point of poison damage.

Why Madrey attacked now

I didn't see Scroo say she wanted to cast poison spray before, so I had Mardrey use it as a reaction when Wolf 2 got close

The Wolf 2, despite taking a face full of poison, attacks Mardrey with a bite, doing 3 points of damage.

Sorry, I'm on something of a sabbatical. I'll try and be more active but just roll for me if I'm not here.

Do you want me to mention you when you're the next person up?

 

[Catacombs]

vazha is up.

 

[vazha]

I heal myself and then run up behind the Barbarian and say: BEEEEEEE!

Can you elaborate more on how you're healing yourself? And I assume that you roaring behind Brytter will count as your action

 

[vazha]

I think I ve got healing word, no? Then through sheer force of will :D
No problem with wasting the action to startle the barbarian and confer disadvantage on him :D

Can't be startled if we're already caught by surprise.

 

[vazha]

Double Trouble!

Spoiler

It's not that bad. We were even forewarned.
I had a game once, where we got under attack at night.
Everyone who was not on guard duty was sleeping without armor.
By 3E rules donning plate armor takes 10 minutes (iirc) that is 600 rounds of combat.
In other words, getting dressed was not an option, so my dwarf cleric joined the fray wearing just beard, socks and underpants.

I confirmed you have healing word as an ability. Are you healing yourself or running to Brytter and screaming into his ear? One of those will be your action this turn.

 

[vazha]

Oh come on! Cant I heal myself and startle him as a bonus action? or vice versa, whichever you deem more taxing.

 

[Catacombs]

I looked at Healing Word again, and you're right, you can do a bonus action. Cast Healing Word and roll for the amount of HP returned. Then roll a Charisma check for the distraction. (Post both results). Brytter should then roll a Charisma save.

 

[vazha]

7 healing (hangover gone) and 22 on charisma check. Beat that, uncouth one!

Rolled 18. The sun was in my eyes.

Bodyguard 2: Furious with being illuminated, the bodyguard drops his bow, draws an arrow and sprints toward Kilur and Mumbles.

Wolf 1: The wolf joins its partner (Wolf 2) to surround Mardrey. It takes a bite at the halfling, 3 points of damage.

Hunter: The hunter fires an arrow at Brytter, missing the barbarian by a long shot.

Thomas dashed off to Mardrey's side. "Coming, lass!"

Spoiler

I move as indicated (as a reminder, I moved to the X marked spot last turn, Mumbles is now behind Brytter, and I believe Wolf 3 is actually down by GrafvonMoltke right now?), and cast Color Spray at the two wolves. My total HP affected roll was 40. Familiar stays near Brytter.

PS: ERYFKRAD did you remember/want to add your Guidance bonus to your distraction roll?

 

[Scroo]

Spoiler

Since I seem to be next on order I hope me taking my actions ahead is fine. I was reduced to 1 hp so I had to heal myself lol

Mardrey was heavily wounded, bleeding badly from the two bites she had received. The little halfling was almost as pale as bone when she whispered to Mother to save her from certain death.

"M-Mother.... please save me. G-rant me strength to f-fulfill your will."

With her last strength she pressed her hands to her bleeding body. Her grave wounds seemed to heal.

Spoiler

Fully invigorated by Mother Mardrey stood up and grasped her spear. It was not her time to die yet!

"M-Mother has her plans with me! Creatures of the forest or not, you shall not stand between me and her will!"

Does that aid in a save?
