Lizard Marsh Yorri steps forward intending to get between the lizards and the squishier party members, and takes aim, he deftly strikes down the healthier of the two lizards. And Maechen follows up by striding to the remaining lizard and cutting its head off. Victory is yours! You get a total of 60 xp to split, but I will be adding it to a pool in the first post. Feel free to post in the aftermath and let me know when you are ready to continue, and if you want to change marching order. Ryuujin fucked around with this message at 05:12 on May 26, 2014 |

 Barnabus "Hrmph. Well." Barnabus was a little dismayed and not being able to bury his axe into a foe's skull, but surely he'll have that chance when they come across their first lizardfolk or orc scouting party. If nothing else, nobody was injured, so no worries. I'm fine with keeping the rear guard, but if you guys want to readjust, that's fine with me too.

 Ghepard Ghepard give a hearty pat to the paladin's shoulder, saying, "thanks for the assist, bro. You might prove useful after all!" He then grasps the shaft of his arrow and thrusts his foot against the corpse of the downed lizard, pulling it out and examining it before returning it to his quiver.

 Yorri "Not bad guys, but I'm sure there's more than just lizards in this swamp. At least we know we can work as a team." Stepping forward Yorri retrieves the hammer that had struck down one of the lizards. "I'm ready to move on out if the rest of you are." Marching order is fine by me and ready to move on.

 Sion The tension of the fight strained his focus, although the arrow did find its target, it was not as clear a shot as he could make. Part of it is the excitement sure, but deep down, those days in the temple have cut back on his training time. He makes that mental note as he searches the lizard corpse for his arrow, only to find it splintered in the lizards body. In response to Yorri, "A formidable team at that." He makes his way to Barnabus, showing concern for the attack that failed to inflict any injury. The incident with the sergeant has made him concerned for potential poisons the local area may threaten the party with, although he may be doting too much on the dwarf over a simple tussle with a lizard.

Lizard Marsh After recovering any ammunition used, and making certain everyone is healthy, the group continues on with Maechen once more in the lead. After about an hour of travel you spot a group of four women bent over something. It looks like a small wisp of smoke escapes form whatever they are looking at. One of them happens to look up as you approach, and it is at this point that you notice that she is not only rather hideous but that she also appears to have a rather greenish cast to her features. She cackles and points you out to the others and you manage to pick up, "well it looks like we just found some more meat for our stew." Maechen rushes through the muck and swings her battleaxe at the nearest hag, but fails to connect.

Sion Sion had never seen a hag before. In truth, he didn't know what to make of the creatures. It wasn't until the "meat for the stew" line that his thoughts became defensive. Ghepard acted with unexpected speed, ever the more reason to believe these hags were a true and real threat. If his divine powers were active as they were yesterday, he would need them here again. Balancing his quarterstaff across his clasped hands, he chants a prayer of protection, one of the many scriptures fused into his mind over the years. Much like his healing powers, this energy comes from somewhere he's not entirely certain of and may prove to be a waste. Hanging from his waist, his cross starts to shine. Suddenly, a burst of yellow light emits from his body, covering the area in a 25 foot radius. Those touched by the light see it cling from their bodies like a layer of vapor, while finding their thoughts and actions more fluid and defined. Casting Bless. All players (also our NPC guide) within 25 feet from me gain +1d4 on all attack and save rolls, lasting 10 minutes while concentration maintains. You can move outside the 25 feet and continue to receive the effect as long as I concentrate. 1 spell casting left for the day. Lothire fucked around with this message at 07:58 on May 26, 2014 |

 Grundle "Poor judgment in meal selection leads to...STOMACH UPSET!" cries Grundle, waiting until a hag ventures within 30 ft to throw another dart. Hopefully in its stomach so what he said makes some modicum of sense. Readying an attack The dart toss!: 1d20+4 Ah, max damage to the ground. Edit: Oh wait, missed the extra +1d4.

Yorri At least he was not caught out this time when the threat appeared. Stepping forward, the mud still slows Yorris movement so once again he pulls out a trusty hammer and flings it at the nearest Hag. Move forward 2 spaces throw hammer (disadvantage): 2#1d20+4 12 18 1d6+3 4 forgot the bonus to attack: 1d4 3 After taking the disadvantage into account my roll is 15 to hit and 4 damage

Catalyn Woolrider The giant lizards had appeared and been dispatched before Catalyn even had a chance to react. This time she was determined to prove to new teammates her worthiness as an adventurer. As she draws her crossbow and sheild a song comes to mind, passed down through her family since the days Great-Great-Grandpappy Woolrider defended the pastures from invaders atop his trusty ram mount. She belts the old battlecry, hoping it fills her allies with the same vigor. "Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all. Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes. Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all." Casting Call to Battle.

Lizard Marsh As Catalyn begins her song the hags go into motion. The one next to Maechen claws at her but cannot penetrate Machen's armor. The others begin to swim through the muddy water, avoiding the muck that so slows you down. Diving into the dirty water only to surface as the attack. One pops up right in front of Barnabus and reaches out to touch him, but cannot get through his armor, actually she couldn't even manage to connect with the armor let alone his flesh. Another pops up next to Maechen and actually manages to connect with her claws this time though they seem to do little but scratch Maechen. The final Hag simply disappears.

Sion The unfamiliar sensation of the spell was surprising to say the least. Now that its effects have taken hold, he finds his mind constantly reciting the prayer he chanted to first invoke the power. Although maintaining concentration takes up some brain power, he has enough focus to realize there is a fourth Hag somehow missing from the group. Is it looking to surprise them mid fight? As much as he wants to aid Maechen in her fight against two of the hags, this murky swamp would make reaching her too difficult and would leave his nearby companions vulnerable, should the fourth somehow reach them. He draws on his shortbow and takes aim at one of the creatures, an occasional muttering of the mantra passing his lips. Attacking Hag 1, shortbow.: Hit=1#1d20+4+1d4 26 Damage=1#1d6+3 6 (I forgot to add the music damage bonus: Forgot +damage from music on hag1: 1d4 4), total damage 10 If things get active and I'm not responsive/in irc because I'm passed out, I'll be plinking arrows until something gets within' stick thwacking range.

Lizard Marsh Sion keeps up his spell, and bolstered by Catalyn's performance, not only hits the hag with his fired arrow but does so quite well. The hag flinches, but still looks to be doing rather well. You forgot to add in Call to Battle's bonus to your damage, I rolled and got a 3 so you did 9 damage. That was almost a third of her life. At this rate you may be rather successful. Initiative 22 Catalyn 21 Ghepard 21 Maechen 15 Barnabus 14 Yorri 11 Grundle 10 Sion 05 Green Hags Map not updated with new lifebar.

Lizard Marsh A flurry of misses embarrasses the group, until Barnabus manages to scream out "Tempus!" and slam his weapon into the nearby hag who lets out a shriek, but is still mostly okay. Maechen follows up with her own strike on the more injured hag near her. She scores a hit, and the hag screams, the blow did not hurt as much as the one Barnabus inflicted on the other hag perhaps but this hag is more injured now.

Ghepard Ghepard looks more than a little perturbed with the lack of progress in this fight. He figures it best to shoot one of the hags who already took a whallop, and since Maenchen is fending off two by herself while the third has two hearty dwarves in its face, he fires at the wounded one haranguing her.

Lizard Marsh The bolt strikes home and the hag screams in pain, and tries to swim away. Maechen swings at the retreating hag, but misses. All of a sudden another hag appears out of thin air on the other side of Yorri and reaches out and touches him through his armor. He can feel his muscles withering. The hag on the other side of him lashes at him with her claws, but they scrape along his armor and do nothing at all. The final hag tries the same with Maechen but cannot even touch her, let alone penetrate her armor. Okay just barely hit Yorri's massive AC, Yorri takes 12 Necrotic damage and must make a Constitution Saving throw, but should be fine unless the roll is really low.

Yorri Reeling from the attack, Yorri does everything he can to stay on his feet, which apparently is not much. You should know that I can never make a saving roll... Saving Roll: 1d20+3 6 Or were you not there when I spent an entire boss fight rooted in one place in the Murdersticks game? If I can actually do something with my turn, I'll Second Wind: 1d6+1 3 so 3 THP to me. And keep Fighting Style(Protection) as a reaction interrupt if Hag 4 attacks me or Barnabus.

I actually forgot to take into account the disadvantage, but I just rolled for it and the second roll was a 25 so it still hit. And ouch yeah you actually failed though you forgot to add Proficiency to your save, which would have given you a 7. Still it was close, you almost succeeded. Man that reminds me how terrible Second Wind is now. Okay you failed the save: Failed Save: You have disadvantage on melee attack rolls, saving throws, and all Strength and Dexterity checks for 1 minute.

Sion Yorri's waning strength gives Sion pause. If it was not for Barnabus at his side, he would rush to his aid. However, Maechen is still in danger and has "convinced" one of the Hags to turn tail. Fearing possible retribution in the form of another stealth attack, Sion aims his bow once more, his spells concentration still lending to his aim. Bow shot to Hag 1 for the kill: To-Hit 1#1d20+4+1d4 14 Damage: 1#1d6+3+1d4 12 Also moving 2 squares closer to Maechen and her remaning hag.

Meanwhile Sion once more fires an arrow at the hags, trying to take out the fleeing hag before it can get away.

Lizard Marsh Ghepard launches an arrow at the injured hag, and totally fails to do anything all that useful. The hag seems completely oblivious to the arrow sitting a few feet away from her as she tears into the injured dwarf. Or she would if not for a shield getting shoved in her face. Annoying dwarves and their shields. The hag on the other side of Yorri follows suit, but can't even make contact with the dwarf's armor. The hag facing Maechen however connects solidly, ripping with all her strength into Maechen's flesh. In retaliation Maechen lashes out with her axe, giving nearly as good as she got. Though she is looking a lot better than the hag after that exchange. Protection just saved Yorri, though the 10 damage hit would not have outright killed Yorri. That said the first roll was 1 off of a crit, in which case it would have outright killed Yorri for 24 damage. But hey isn't it great it was a 19 instead of a 20, and protection dropped the roll down by 13 points.

Ghepard "Apparently I'm the doorknob, because everyone gets a turn!" Ghepard muses sarcastically, as he knocks an arrow and aims at yet another different hag; this time it's the remaining one fighting Maenchen. Longbow vs. Hag #2 (attack, damage): 1d20+4+1d4 = 19, 1d8+3+1d6+1d4 = 9 That should hit, damage still unspectacular. Might be enough.

Sion His focus wavers as the need to maintain concentration took priority. He wasn't even sure the arrow hit the Hag. It wasn't until the violent trashing in the water stopped that he realized it connected. His first kill, but such thoughts will have to wait. Ghepard's sarcasm as he lines up his next shot assures Sion he has Meachen covered. As Grundle invokes his spell, Sion spies an opportunity. Bow swung back, he pulls out his healing potion and uncorks it, gesturing with upward arms to Yorri. "Come this way! Over here!" The documents are purposefully vague so it's difficult to tell if I'm doing this correctly. What I'm aiming to do is, should Yorri disengage to the square under me to avoid burning hands, I will use the Help action for two things; feed him my health potion (an action) and offer advantage to his next task, be it a saving throw or an attack. Essentially I'm spending my move/action to Help, which seems to work by the rules. Edit: I overlooked the granting advantage part, seems I need to be within 5 feet of his target to grant advantage. Since I'd need to move a square above Grundle for that, it'd mean I would have spent my move action. However you want to rule this, I'd like to give feeding Yorri the potion top priority and if I have to sit on my hands for a turn, no big deal.

Yorri Sliding out of the way, Yorri allows Grundle the space he needs to blast the hags. Disengage to the square between Sion and Hag 3. and Fighting Style(Protection) as a reaction interrupt if Hag 3 attacks anyone. It imposes a disadvantage on their attack roll. These rules are rough. So last turn second wind used up my action to stay alive(and is pretty useless), now disengage used up my action and to stay alive next turn I can finally drink the healing potion. Disengage should really use up your move or action, not just action.
