[5e, Lvl 6, Solo, Arena] Zman's Arena -Conqus Ren

[Zman]

Zman's Arena- Conqus Ren

As you stand at the end of the small dark hallway you can see the Arena before you through the grated door. The booming voice of an announcer can be heard, "Welcome ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages! Today, Conqus Ren tries his mettle in the Arena!!!" A wave of cheers meets his thunderous booming voice...

A horn sounds, the gate opens, and you step foot into the Arena. It is a solid thirty paces square with an open roof, cheering fans can be seen beyond the walls, so can the armed guards that would prevent any combatant from attempting to flee the arena. In each of the cardinal directions lie elevated platforms, stairs leading up to them. Each adorned with a pair of sinister grotesque stone guardian, their palms upheld filled with fire. To the northwest lies a tall platform, to the northwest a patch of broken ground only the surest footed would dare tread, to the southwest, huge stone pillars rising towards the sky, to the southeast another stone platform rises from the ground, and in the center is a small raised platform with a pedestal in its center. You know by pressing down upon the pedestal you will summon for the first wave....

You faintly hear the booming voice wishing you farewell, "For fame and glory! Be bold champion!!"


Round 1
HP 58/58

If you have OOC questions ask them in a spoiler in thread.

You are up!

[GanonBoar]

Conqus readies a Longsword attack and braces himself.
'Guess this is it...' he mutters to himself.
Unflinching and unfazed, he steps forward onto the pedestal.
'Come at me!' he yells into the sky!

[Zman]

Conqus Ren moves forward quickly, not stopping till he was on the platform, his blade read.

As he touches the pedestal four of the closed doors surrounding the Arena open in an instant... and the stench reaches his nose, the putrid smell of rotting flesh...

The two doors to his north, one to his west, and one to his south open and four putrid rotting corpses come shambling out towards Conqus Ren...

[GanonBoar]

Conqus wrinkles his nose and tries to sense the source of the smell.

perception check: 1d20
Dammit, how do you roll?

[Zman]

As the Zombies begin to lumber forward, Conqus feels as if the statues are watching him... and nothing happens...


[roll0][roll1]d8d

Edit: Sorry, at the to of every initiative when the dungeon is active I have to roll this.

[GanonBoar]

Conquis makes an Investigation Check on the statues.

[GanonBoar]

Investigation Check:[roll0]

[Zman]

As he peers closer at the statues he detects absolutely nothing wrong, must be his nerves....


All OOC and mechanics in spoilers please, just makes for cinematic reading, haha

[GanonBoar]

'Here goes nothing...' he mutters.
He whips a javelin out and throws it with all his might at the nearest enemy.
Javelin attack roll: [roll0]

[Zman]

His aim is true and the Javelin lands with a succinct thwap into the Zombie's meaty chest...


Just roll the attack, damage, and potential critical damage all together. Also, specify if you are doing anything with your move action etc. If you can, name the Zombie, I'll add numbers to them on the map for you.

You'll need to roll damage now

[GanonBoar]

Conqus thanks whatever gods may be watching him when he sees the javelin hit. He moves 30 ft. closer to the zombies

Damage: [roll0]
moves 30ft towards the zombie he hit

[Zman]

Conqus quickly closes on the Zombie he just impaled.... but the other quickly shamble towards him trying to lay their disgusting hands on him... but neither tooth or nail gets through his armor...

'Nice try. Now I'll show you how it's done!'

Round 5!

[GanonBoar]

Conqus reels back in pain.
'Bloody brutes...' he mutters.
He slashes at them both again, before continuing onward towards the one he hit with the javelin.

[Zman]

Conqus cleaves the first Zombie nigh in half before landing a solid blow on the second... before the remaining three Zombies rake and bit at him again... and again the flanking zombies rake Conqus Ren...


Z1 Destroyed, no Consave vs the Crit
Z4 takes 10 Damage, is down to only 2 HP.

Have you been looking at the map?? Move where?? It has been updated in detail every round. Which I have to apologize for, the Zombies had been moving at 30' instead of 20 for a bit.

He is currently in melee with the remaining three Zombies.

Zombies half of the Turn

[roll0][roll1]

Two Hits, one for 6 Damage, one for 4 Damage. 38/58HP

[GanonBoar]

His half-orc strength causes extra damage to the one he landed a critical hit on. He grins as its body falls apart.
Savage Attacks: [roll0]

[Zman]

The Statues are silent...


Good catch on the Crit, but that one was killed outright, in only had 2HP before the Crit!

[roll0][roll1][roll2][roll3]

[GanonBoar]

He attacks the zombies again. He pants as he slashed at them.

OOC: I have been looking, but I can't see the zombies on there.

[Zman]

Conqus Ren lands two more solid strikes on the undead, the first was rather vicious and tests the undead's constitution... and it was no match for the strength of steel...


There are tabs, one for each turn on the map. You are looking at the first one. Here is the link again if you can't see it.

Z4 Dead, Z3 Wounded.

[Zman]

The Zombies governed by predatory hunger enclose Conqus forcing him to again fight on two fronts... One nearly gets his neck again...

The Statues are silent again...

EDIT: nvm, got it. Wow, I'm low on health...

[Zman]

Conqus Ren makes two more brutal strikes landing true against his foes, but neither falls... and the zombies keep him boxed in... neither Zombie manages to land a solid strike and the statues eerily stare at nothingness...


You took 10 damage one turn
10 damage the next turn
5 damage this last turn

They are still flanking you for advantage
[roll0][roll1]

[Zman]

Both solid strikes land true testing the undead constitution... Conqus delivers a massive strike through the chest of one Zombie capable of felling any man just in time to turn and nearly cleave the second in half... but as he looks back the first the first Zombie despite a wound opening its entire Chest refuses to fall


DC18[roll0] Success, Zombie is at 1HP instead of 0.
DC16[roll1]

[Zman]

The last remaining Zombie rakes at him... but its strike are hindered by its gaping chest...

Two wester statues spring to life and launch bolts of fire at Conques but each easily misses its mark...

Round 9
[roll2][roll3][roll4][roll5]

You are up

[GanonBoar]

Conqus is mildly surprised by the Statues. But first he takes care of the zombie.
'Your time is up!'

Attack:
atk roll: [roll0]
dmg roll: [roll1]
crit roll: [roll2]
svg atks: [roll3]

Moves for cover from the statues behind the cross of ground nearby (don't know what to call it.)

[Zman]

Conqus Ren against makes savage attacks... And the last Zombie falls unable to stand up to Conqus Ren's brutal attacks..

As soon as the last Zombie falls the Arena suddenly seems less threatening and the crowd can be heard more clearly, it isn't nearly as menacing of a place...


No reason not to roll the second attack.
[roll0][roll1][roll2]

Con Saves[roll3][roll4]

We'll hold off on that move for a second, you'll see

Wave Round complete in 54 Seconds.

You still have a move action. The Arena is safe until you press the center Pedastal again. You have time to heal, take a 30s breather, etc. All count against your total time for Wave 2.

[GanonBoar]

Conqus chugs down a healing potion.
'No time to waste...'

He steps back onto the pedestal.Healing Potion:
[roll0]
HP: 39/58
Moves back to pedestal.

[Zman]

Conqus moves to the center pedestal, noting how less ominous the arena is, knowing that as soon as he presses the pedestal again another horrific challenge awaits him...


Turn 9 - Moves to Pedestal
Turn 10 - Action Drinks potion, only 6HP(Terrible!!). At 39/58HP. You still have your move action left, you can activate the pedestal, or wait another round, or more rounds, etc.

[GanonBoar]

Conqus activates the pedestal, bracing himself.

[Zman]

As Conqus activates the pedestal... a ominous feeling again hangs over the Arena and a huge grown can be heard from the southwest, another corpse awaits, this one massive, the remnants of an Ogre...

[roll0]

You have a Move action left in Round 10.

Edit: Don't forget to look at the map and tell me what squares you want to move to. It is much easier when you give me specifics, haha.

[GanonBoar]

Conqus moves for a clear shot.
Moves to K 23

[Zman]

The Ogre Zombie advances as quickly as it can lumber... the Statues watch in silence...



Please remove that attack, you only had a Move action left in the Round.

Also, Diagonals cost extra movement, double for every other. So moving Diagonal costs 5', 10', 5', 10'. I moved him as far as he could go.

[roll0][roll1][roll2][roll3]

Turn 11

[GanonBoar]

Ok, sorry. Can that attack just count for this round instead?

[Zman]

Na, just spoiler it and cross it out or delete it, plus you can attack twice. Or, if you want to keep the single javelin throw and move away, just add a new post and tell me where you are moving to.

You have your full turn, you can move and attack.

[GanonBoar]

Conqus throws two javelins in quick succession.
'You won't last long...'

atk 1: [roll0]
dmg 1: [roll1]
crit 1: [roll2]

atk 2: [roll3]
dmg 2: [roll4]
crit 2: [roll5]

[Zman]

Both javelins find their mark with wet thwaks as the punctured the massive corpse, it seem unphases as it shambles forward swinging the massive mace at Conqus... the massive weapon almost flattents Conqus, but at the last second he dodges out of the way, at the same moment one of the statues springs to life and launches a bolt of fire at him sending him reeling...


Both Hit, 22 Damage

[roll0][roll1][roll2]
He hits Conqus for 19 Damage Edit: 17 Damage, it was 2d8+4.

[roll3][roll4][roll5][roll6]
4 Fire Damage

Round 12! At 18/58 HP. Hope the Ogre Zombie misses next round!

[GanonBoar]

Conqus feels the wind get knocked out of him.
'Son of a...'
Suddenly, he feels adrenaline coursing through him. He charges forward with two strong slashes.Second Wind:hp gain: [roll0]

[Zman]

Healing haven't been on your side....

Are you sure you want to retreat, it'll trigger an AoO and the Ogre is fast enough to cast you and attack again, I had speed 30.

Also, both his for 21 damage. When you roll Croats, it is just the damage die, not modifiers that get doubled.

[GanonBoar]

On second thought, I won't retreat.

[Zman]

Just edit out the retreats part and we'll go from there, hoping he misses this round!

[GanonBoar]

Done. Please RNGeesus, don't screw me over like you have been doing...

[Zman]

As Conqus lands two solid blows on the Ogre he attempts to dodge the Zombie Ogre's retaliation... The blow rocks Conqus putting him on he back foot...


[roll0][roll1][roll2]


Ouch, hits again and massive damage! Maybe action sure pray for the best time, or use those Maneuvers, etc!

Edit: Might I suggest attempting both attacks as pushing attacks, if one succeeds and it fails its Str Save you can back up 30' and prevent the Ogre Zombie from attacking for a turn. Probably the best chance of surviving the round IMO without hoping to kill it outright with your actions urge.

[Zman]

Th statues remain silent...


Those statues could have ended it!

[roll0][roll1][roll2][roll3]

Round 13

[GanonBoar]

'No... I... I can do this...'
Conqus lunges forward with two strikes. The first seems to frighten the opponent, the second seems to push it away. He then quickly swallows a healing potion.Attack 1 (Meanacing Attack)
atk: [roll0]

crit: [roll2]
menacing atk superiority die: [roll3]

Attack 2 (Pushing attack, max distance)

Action Surge
Healing Potion: [roll8]

RNGeesus, please help me. I hope you had fun screwing me over so much, but can you help me for once?

[GanonBoar]

Well then. I rolled two 1s on my healing pot and I doubt my attacks even hit. Oh well. I tried.

[Zman]

I guess they aren't immune to frightened, crazy. If either works you've got a good chance to survive the round. Push home away and your move takes you out of range.

Why didn't you just attack twice more, you had a good chance to just finish it off. And yes, both stacks hit, you need a 2 to hit, haha.

[roll0]
[roll1]

[Zman]

Conqus manages to put the fear of death into the undead Ogre as he drives it back... It pauses for a second refusing to close the gap... just as three of the statues again spring to life and douse Conqus in flame, he is at the end of his rope, a single misstep and he will be no more...


Ogre zombie is frightened and driven back.

[roll0][roll1][roll2][roll3]
Round 14, assuming the Statues don't kill you... Wow, a 19, they almost crit, and dealt 8 damage, you are at 1/58HP, good thing a single hit will probably take the Zombie out, it is at 8/85. Step up, attack twice, don't roll 1s!

[GanonBoar]

'I won't go out that easily...'
Conqus feels weak, but with the last of his energy he manages to slash twice more.
'Your time... is up!'
PLEASE, RNGEESUS! COME ON!
atk 1: [roll0]

[Zman]

Conqus' ferocious attacks tests the undead 'so constitution... And his gambit pays off as he is able to press the undead brute till it falls lifeless once more. Immediately the Arena feels more peaceful and crowd can he heard a bit easier...


DC15[roll0]
DC17[roll1]

Wave 2 Complete 84Seconds!

You have a move action left.

[GanonBoar]

Can I use hit dice? If not, here's a roll for a healing potion:
[roll0]

[Zman]

You take a 30s breather with allows you to heal using Hit Dice, can't do anything else during that 30s. I'd strongly suggest healing up, haha.

[GanonBoar]

Conqus feels a surge of energy flow through him.
'It's not over yet...'
Uses 3 Hit Dice
[roll0] + 9 (con mod) = 22
Moves to pedestal

[Zman]

You also get your Con Mod for each of those Hit Dice. You can use the rest of your Hit dice as well. May not be a bad Idea to try and get to full health to make it through Wave 3.

[GanonBoar]

Added the Con. Don't wanna use them all up, but I guess I can use another.
[roll0]

[Zman]

I strongly suggest you use another, maybe even your remaining potions of healing. No reason to enter Wave 3 with less than your full HP if able.

[GanonBoar]

I guess.
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Zman]

Conqus takes a few moments to collect himself and recover from the onslaught and challenge the Ogre Zombie provided...


By my count you healed 42 HP for 43/58. You really had terrible rolling for healing.

It is round 22, you ahve all your actions, and are located at the center pedestal, see map.

Good luck on Wave 3!

[GanonBoar]

Conqus activates the pedestal.

[Zman]

As Conqus activates the pedestal... nothing immedately appears to happen, no door open, nothing, just an eerie feeling of being watched...


You have your Move action and can ready an action.

[Zman]

Also, forgot this.
