New Worlds, Strange Artifacts IC

Amafrey

Amafrey hisses in pain at her wounds, but a flicker of hope shines in her eyes as her comrades have awoken.

Abandoning her fickle magic the half elven woman slides a sharp bladed dagger from a sheathe at her belt and slashes at the orb accosting her.

Attack with dagger: (1d20+6)[19]
Damage: (1d4+6)[9]

[moonfly7]

The two orbs, damaged mere seconds from each other, release a high pitched keen as strange mist rolls off them. Gloria's axe stroke leaves a gash in the small lantern like creature, two more hit's like that and it's not getting back up.

Meanwhile Amafrey's knife, despite being her sidearm and not her primary offense, slices through the light quickly as she pulls backs as soon as she strikes home to avoid retaliation.

[moonfly7]

The orb currently accosting Ammafrey zooms in for another strike, hissing with power.

The orb, disoriented from the warlocks attack, veers wildly off course and whiffs past Amafrey.

[DigoDragon]

Astraxia

The blade of the strange creature found its way under Astraxia's armor, but she moved with the strike to lessen it's cut. "And who are you supposed to be, the Great Pumpkin?"

Dropping her bow, Astraxia draws blades and strikes back at the creature.

Spoiler: Actions

Show

When Astraxia was struck, she'll use her Reaction for Uncanny Dodge to halve the damage taken to 6.

Astraxia's turn is to strike at the creature with a short sword and dagger, hoping to land a hit and get in her sneak attack.

Shortsword (primary hand): (1d20+7)[20] (damage is 6 [roll]1d6+4 piercing[/roll])
Dagger (off hand): (1d20+7)[19] (damage is 3 [roll]1d4 piercing[/roll])

If she strikes, Sneak Attack: (3d6)[10]

[moonfly7]

The first pumpkin assassin blocks Astraxias rapier strike with its own, but takes the knife directly to wear it's ribs should be. The knife mamma something inside and it whirrs loudly. It's looking messed up, but still standing for now.

[Lentrax]

The blade sings. The air hums with the power coming from the Ronin.

Manami continues to flow, but when she sees Astraxia step forward to assault the same opponent, Manami shifts her stances.

She flows from a flowing river stance, into a stance of the Crescent Moon. She arcs the sword up and brings it down in a sharp arc to avoid hitting her new compatriot. She also begins incorporating her other body parts into the attack, letting all of her flow into the assault.

Tactically speaking, Manami will move to attack the other Pumpkin Head if she kills the one she is attacking.

[moonfly7]

The first attacker goes down near instantly, with the second pumpkin head stepping forward to fill the gap as the first falls.

[moonfly7]

The second creature takes the next strikes and immediately starts to lose gears and parts. It's still standing but seriously injured.

[moonfly7]

The orb closest to Manami comes in for another pass, swinging wildly at the Ronin.

The orb squaring off against Gloria charges directly at the goblins face, if a floating lantern could look mad, this one does.

The newly injured Pumpkin headed creature unleashes its dexterous assault, targeting Manami as the most dangerous target in its view.

[moonfly7]

The blade slices through the strange cosntruct, the first strike cleaving into the monsters head and denting the metal underneath the pumpkin, the second completely splitting the construct in two all the way to it's sternum.

As the metal and gourd hit the forest floor, black energy flows from the Sword of Living bone, and the broken metal begins to shift into bone, slowly clacking as it joins back together and raises its Rapier, it's armor having been reduced to mere scraps, dagger forgotten on the ground.

If you want to use your bonus action to command your new minion you may. It has regular skeleton stats. But a rapier instead of a shortsword.

[Lioslaith]

Kristan chuckles to himself as the new companion rises up, "Attack the orb, defend my companions and I."

[moonfly7]

The skeleton clacks loudly as it moves forward, reaching out towards the closest orb and taking a swip with the rapier. The attack slams into the creature, the skeleton pulls the blade out, glaring angrily at the strange orb that still lives.

[Estralita]

When Gloria fought, especially when she fought like this, she almost took on a completely different persona. The friendly, easy-going goblin was replaced by a frenzied berserker. She almost seemed to radiate heat and rage.
In fact, if you looked closely, you could see a faint glow surrounding her...

Not that anyone would have a chance to look closely when she was in this state. ""EAT AXE!"

Hope to finish the thing off here. Also popping all the armor's charges to give her the effects of bless, because why not.

[moonfly7]

Glorias rage tears through the orb in moments, axes flying as the enraged goblin tears chunks of luminous energy from the quickly fading orb. The orb explodes in a cascade of light as it dies, a shriek escaping it as vapor floats from its corpse where it lies.

[RossN]

Amafrey

Amafrey nimbly avoids the orb's strike and slashes once more with her dagger. It is a strange experience not using her magic but for the moment it seems she cannot rely on it. So the blade it is then...

Attack with dagger: (1d20+6)[17]

The orb nimbly dodges out of the way of Amafreys attack, floating just out of her reach.

Astraxia

These orbs were a problem. Remembering her new weapon, Astraxia drops her sword and pulls out the Speak, moving in to help Amafreys take down an orb.

The orb takes the first hit and becomes shaky and it's form almost mist like, the second hit cleaves straight through the orb, causing it to release a shriek and a got of mist as it's emoty body falls to the ground.

[moonfly7]

The Orb that manami just attacked shoots in for a ram on the Ronin. The attack misses horribly as the orb tries to dodge the ever weaving Katana.

With her latest foe disintegrated, Gloria rolled forwards and slashed the next one, specifically the orb targeting Manami. Once done, she darted behind a tree to prepare a surprise attack that would hopefully end the fight.
