Red Hand of Doom 5e (OOC2)

[Amnestic]

Gonna roll this ahead of time (1d6)[2]

[Xihirli]

I actually meant for the sphere to stop ten feet further north, stopping at the wall there.

Oh, well that works too. Act accordingly, but hob gets spat out south either way.

[Xihirli]

Eh.... I've had my fun. Move 30 feet toward the big monster hitting Freya and TASHA'S! Save vs 16: (1d20)[18]

HYPNOTIC PATTERN

Which I will cast over Beorn, the two horned... things, and the giant hyena next to Freya.

Hmm.... actually, if I include Freya I can also get those two hobgoblins...
RISK REWARD TIME! Wibbles of the One Eye waking up one of my friends edition!
North horned thing: (1d20)[18]
South horned thing: (1d20)[2]
Freya: (1d20)[12]
Beorn: (1d20)[12]
Big thing: (1d20)[19]
North Hobgoblin: (1d20)[4]
South Hobgoblin: (1d20)[20]

And Wibbles will fly up to whichever of Freya or Beorn failed (Freya, if both) and wake them up.

EDIT: Beorn adds 6 to WIS saves, so he made it. Freya adds 1, so she fails.

[DigoDragon]

Uh, what are you doing to Freya and what's the DC on that?

Freya disagrees.

[Xihirli]

Freya is included in my Hypnotic Pattern, which charms the targets. While charmed, they are incapacitated and their speed is set to zero. DC 16.

I see. So the important GM question is if Wibbles can shake Freya out of that this round or would Freya lose her turn? I assume yes since Wibbles goes on Gaks' turn, and Gaks goes ahead of Freya in initiative order, and in previous encounters the enemy worked that way, but doesn't hurt to get that in writing.

DC 16, huh? Well that's a 25% chance of success on a reroll. Good to know.

[Amnestic]

Yes.

Though the caveat is the enemies can also shake each other and don't end up losing their turns, for better or worse.

Well that's how it was done with Freya's sleep spell, so it was my expectation.

really appreciate the diceroll giving you guys great saves and me terrible attack rolls

making it hard to create tense encounters when three turns in a row these ambushers can't hit the broad side of a barn

[Bobthewizard]

Don't worry. I am sufficiently terrified after those scaley things didn't drop after possibly 70-80HP of damage. We realize we are lucky to have the rolls fall where they are, and I get nervous when I see that you rolled.

[Xihirli]

You know what would be really funny? If I Hypnotic Pattern'd again.

Spoiler: that'd be really funny

Wibbles is I think too far north to get hit by this
WIS DC 16
Freya: (1d20+1)[16]
Beorn: (1d20+6)[16]
Horned thing north: (1d20)[4]
Barghest: (1d20)[9]
Horned thing south: (1d20)[4]
Hobgoblin East: (1d20)[16]
Hobgoblin West: (1d20)[20]

EDIT: I will not change my movement, I will stand between Zuri and the northern enemies with the bravery of a WIZARD.

Also those hobgoblins were using bows, which means they don't have shields, which means... that he was still only hit twice, I think.
Man, why do hobgoblins have such high AC? A question that only the PCs and not the DM ask all the time on this campaign.

[Bobthewizard]

I think Gaks, Zuri and the wolves might all end up in a cluster.

Whismur, I left an opening next to Beorn for you, but everything next to that spot is now hypnotized.

That's interesting cause I've actually felt slightly frustrated at how much damage Freya keeps taking from all sorts of sources.

Freya really needs an AC improvement. Large numbers of enemies just keep getting into melee with her, and no one will even have the decency to buy her dinner first.

You know what would be really funny? If I Hypnotic Pattern'd again.

Okay, that time worked much better! :o

[WhismurWanders]

Whismur, I left an opening next to Beorn for you, but everything next to that spot is now hypnotized.

Noted. My first instinct was to go after the northern-most raider anyways, since if I don't hit something/get hit soon, rage goes away.

[Bobthewizard]

Ask if it's dead before you post. If it is, throw a javelin at something if you need to.

Edit: or kick a wolf if you must. "Get out of my way you mangy mutt!"

[Xihirli]

If we can kill those hobgoblins I think we can have those three big beaters sitting out the majority of this fight. Everything else is a full dash (assuming 30 feet movement) away and it also looks like it takes the Bargests' Action to teleport.
Beorn, I believe in you.

Waiting on confirmation for this before posting.

The north one is dead.

Exercising at the He's Dead Gym.

[Xihirli]

I read that as "tiny sum" and I was like "what kind of persuasion is this?"
But no, tidy. Much better.

[stack]

Probably could leverage Beorn's mercenary background here, but not sure that it gets us anything. Professional courtesy between mercenary groups doesn't always amount to much, given their common interactions . "I will stab you in the face instead of the back, if it is convenient."

[Xihirli]

I mean, unless some of the goblins took some out of the chests mission accomplished, right?
I see this as an absolute win, we have gotten the required relationship points for the dwarves.

The chests were locked when you got to them.

And although no one said they were going to thoroughly categorise the contents, I'll go ahead and say that yes it's all there.

[Xihirli]

Good work everyone! We've recruited the Shining Axes!
