Skegg Stoneskin Dwarf Fighter 3 AC: 18 HP: 42/42 PP: 15 (reroll miss by 1-3) PIv: 10 PIs: 10 HD: 3/3d10, Conditions: none Superiority: 2/2 Stamina: 7/9 Second Wind: 1/1 Action Surge: 0/1 When Skegg sees that it is completely immune to the sword attack, he realizes he's not going to be able to damage this creature. He hopes maybe he can grab it and subdue it. He reaches up, grabs the creature's shoulder with his left hand, swings himself up towards the skull-like face, and tries to wrap his arms around it and drag the creature to the ground. He still holds onto his crowbar to defend himself with. "Everyone with magic. Give it all you can!" Spoiler: OOC Show Grapple attempt (1d20+8)[17] if unsuccessful (or under 20 if I have to decide before he rolls), use 2 Stamina points to reroll with advantage (1d20+8)[11], (1d20+8)[25] If the grapple is successful, he will use Action surge to try to choke hold the creature, (22 from OOC, 27 for reroll if needed). If successful, creature is in a Choke-Hold (page 4) and is restrained and both of our speeds are 0. If attacked, will use Deflect from Extra Combat Actions to add +4 to AC. Map

"Thank you for reminding me to use everything I have, I might have kept half-assing it otherwise," Naru'nrr dryly comments as he prepares another spell, this time creating a fist-sized stone from the aether and flinging it at the beast in Skegg's grip.

Casting the cantrip Pummelstone. On a hit it takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage, and must roll 1d4 if it makes an attack roll or ability check during it's next turn, subtracting the result from it's roll.

I'll make the attack roll twice in case it's restrained by Skegg's grapple, if not just use the first roll

Attack Roll 1: (1d20+5)[25]
If Advantage: (1d20+5)[22]

Maybe... maybe... She lifts her sword and nods to the gnome.

[Hof]

Harbick carefully moves closer and raises his axe, ready to strike. Just before he does so, with an arcane gesture he creates a rift in the air. In one fluid motion, Harbick steps into the rift, is teleported through the creature to its other side and finishes the arc of his axe.

Zhanty Alsaz Alchemist/Apothecary HP: 30/30, AC: 15, Resistance: None Conditions: None Spell Slots: 3/3

Having no luck hitting the monster with a crossbow Zhanty tries something else. She moves a bit closer to the thing while pulling some stuff from her bag, combining it together, and tossing it as it begins to combust.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Alchemical Fire (Instant Reaction): As an action, you can produce an instant reaction, tossing a quick combination of reagents at a point within 20 feet of you, which causes searing fire to flare up in a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on that point. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take 1d8 fire damage.
Delivery Mechanism: You modify the stability of your reagents and develop a better delivery mechanism. You can target a point within 40 feet of you for your instant reactions and infused potions that target a point. This additional precision enables you to better target the effects, allowing each creature of your choice in the area to automatically succeed on its Dexterity saving throw against the effects of your instant reactions and infused potions.

Spell save DC = 13
Damage (1d8+3)[11] Edit: Oops, that should have been be a flat d8, so 8 damage.
Allies don't take damage.

[TheNotoriousSMP]

"Looks like we've got it on the ropes!" Naru'nrr comments, half-grinning to himself as his allies keep the creature locked down, "Let's see if we can't speed things along shall we?" He hurls another magical rock at the all but pinned being.

Norm stands. With another sight down his ring, he fires a silver-grey crackling bolt toward the beast. Don’t hit Skegg. Don’t hit Skegg, he thinks. Again he ducks down, not waiting to see if he has achieved his ambition.

Eager to capitalize on Skegg's opportunity, Harbick attempts to hack into the creature while it is wrestling with the burly dwarf. He then reforms his projected weapons, and holds out a staff. "Sharra, take this!"

Spoiler: OOC

Axe advantage attack 1 (1d20+6)[8]
Axe advantage attack 2 (1d20+6)[8]
Damage (1d10+4)[9]

BA to re-create weapons: two battleaxes and a quarterstaff. One of the axes is on the ground, because I don't have the actions to stow it and keep the staff ready at the same time.

Sharra and Harbick have the same initiative, but I think she goes first. This would mean that she could take the staff next round, correct?

[clash]

Tamara speaks another short incantation then ducks in to touch Skegg. "His guidance will show you the way. Don't let go"

Spoiler: OOC

Tamara casts guidance on Skegg

Noting Harbick's weapons of force and power, Val lifts her shield and points her sword towards the warrior with the unorthodox attacks.
"Harbick, strike true!"

Harbick can attack again and add (1d6)[4] to the damage.

The vile creature manages to break Skegg's grasp and instantly disappears into the chill night air. In a moment, the wind begins to howl with increasing force... and the strange humanlike cry continues, and is joined by another... and another!

[clash]

Tamara smiles wryly. "I for one am getting a feeling of foreboding that has nothing to do with divination. I suggest we run." She looks to the others knowing hey death magic will have little effect on a horde of these creatures.

[Xihirli]

Val nods. "Back to the road!" She commands, looking among her fellows to see if any would require help.

[JNAProductions]

Sharra steps back from the former melee. "We keep moving. There's someone to save."

[TheNotoriousSMP]

"They say that discretion is the better part of valor," Naru'nrr comments as he beats feet back to where he'd left his horse tied up, "Now, I don't know much about valor, but it works for me right about now!" Untying his mount and climbing up, he looks around at the others. "We gave that thing too much of our time for my tastes, let's get back to tracking down the girl!"

[Blorcyn]

Norm doesn’t say a word, but runs past Harbick’s horse and jumps up onto Zhanty’s cart, finding a spot to sit and wedge himself out of sight.

Jeannie he sends back up into the air, to look around from within 100 feet of him.

Spoiler

Show

If possible, and if Zhanty doesn’t kick him out, Norm is going to want to catch his breath and have a short rest for an hour while they travel on.

[Hof]

At first he looks around, searching for the source of the new cries. But as everyone follows Val's directive, Harbick jogs over to his horse and teleports on its back.
After a quick, jealous glance towards Norm settling in on the cart - and noting how the rain now falls unimpeded - he moves his horse to the middle of the group. From here, Harbick will keep the concealing shadows active and his eyes and ears open.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Keeping concentration up on Pass without Trace. It potentially lasts an hour, of which perhaps a minute or two is spent I think.

A passive perception of 13 is nothing special, but 120 ft. darkvision might be useful.

While I'd love a short rest, getting one while riding a horse and concentrating on a spell seems unlikely.

[Xihirli]

Val thunders after them, back onto the road. She looks back at where the screams are coming from, trying to ascertain if they're going to follow them.
