Re: Dangerous Old Men & Women (5e, high level NPC combat testing) IC
Merry teleports Jessica forward to just across one of the streams from Robin. Hyra's Celestial scores a hit, although it seems to be resisted (8; all 8 temp hp removed). Lanius fires three arrows, all of which hit (18+18+13), and moves up to stand close to Hyra (I only see 50 movement). Jessica dashes forward, but misses with both sword-swings.
The half orc in front of her flashes a toothy grin and raises his bow, a moment later, he is 10' away and firing at her, then another 10' and shooting at Hyra, and then he runs farther while firing two arrows more at Jessica.
Spoiler
Distant Strike Extra Attack. The Ranger attacks twice, teleporting up to 10’ before each attack to a visible unoccupied space. If at least two creatures are attacked during the attack action, the Ranger may make an additional attack against a 3rd creature.
Followed by his normal movement and BA Swift Quiver, two more attacks.

Merry reappears midway over the stream and promptly falls in. Undignified and looking like an unhappy wet cat, he moves forwards to the opposite bank from where he started. He casts a simple spell, but one which he hopes will have a good chance of catching Robin. A tiny skeletal hand appears near the ranger and tries to grab him.
Then Merry fades out again into etherealness.

Merry's Chill Touch fails to connect. Hyra runs forwards, flopping into the briars, while her Celestial fires a volley of arrows (one hits, 15->resist to 7).
Lanius swims across the stream and hides in another set of bushes after firing two arrows (one hits for 13).
Robin blinks to the west twice, firing a pair of arrows at Jessica, before seeming to melt into the vegetation as he moves off to the west.

Merry moves to cover, then blinks out. Hyra and the Celestial move forward. Lanius dashes and splashes forwards, readying an attack (he can't quite end up in the brush, it's 5' too far; bare patch around this part of the stream unfortunately). Jessica heals herself, going prone.
The half-orc stands out of the grass, his cloak still making him hard to see, and fires an arrow at Lanius. Lanius looses an arrow, but misses, and the ranger fires another, moving from spot to spot southwards as he shoots before hiding again.
Spoiler
Lanius is invisible but not stealthed. No advantage from unseen attacker, so both rolls are at disadvantage.

Merry doesn't have a great way to keep up with a hiding individual. He stands up, hoping for a better glimpse of the ranger, and drinks a potion to make himself Invisible. This will be a game of cat-and-mouse for sure.

Merry stands, invisible.
Hyra moves forward, as does her Celestial.
Lanius moves up and hides, readying an attack.
Jessica gets up and moves closer. She can sense the presence of magic ahead... next round, if the quarry stays still, she can focus her senses to see the auras.
Three arrows fly as the half-orc reveals himself, plus one more from Lanius that doesn't hit. Robin teleports westwards with each hit, disappearing somewhere in the patch of underbrush to the west.

Merry ducks as an arrow hits the tree behind him. Well, behind and 10' to the right of him, but he flinches anyways.
He moves a little bit eastwards and dismisses his Blink spell, and goes prone again just in case.Last edited by Archemist; 2024-03-04 at 06:03 PM.

Merry moves east and drops prone, still invisible. Hyra and the Celestial move forward.
Lanius moves forwards and prepares to shoot when the half-orc reveals his presence again (shot will hit for 15, probably resisted down to 7).
Jessica scans the area from I9, but there are no magical auras within 30' of her.
Robin fires an arrow at Hyra (unseen attacker advantage), Lanius fires at him (resisted to 7), then the half-orc moves through the water almost as fast as walking, then blinks to the south side of the stream, returns with an arrow back at Lanius, and then blinks out of sight again to shoot another at the Celestial before disappearing into the large patch of underbrush just south of the water.

Merry crawls west, preparing a Shatter spell, which will also break invisibility when cast.
Spoiler: Shatter
Advantage on Con saves (1d20+1)[13]
Need to hit a DC 20 to halve 29 thunder damage.
Hyra dashes forwards.
Her Celestial readies an attack (will hit for 15 radiant).
Lanius moves forward into cover, conjuring some healing berries while hiding.
Jessica stays flat, calling up a magical shield.
The half-orc draws his bow back, revealing his presence and firing an arrow at the summoned Celestial. Arrows pass in flight, and he is hit (resist to 7 as a reaction). Merry creates a thunderous explosion (save above in spoiler). He turns and fires an arrow at the prone Merry, then another at Hyra, blinking between positions and re-crossing the water before concealing himself again, this time in the vegetation northeast of the river (the U22-AD25 block).
Spoiler
Sharpshooter Attack vs Celestial (1d20+11)[22] or (1d20+11)[28] for (1d8+18)[23]
Sharpshooter attack vs Merry with disadvantage (prone target) (1d20+11)[30] or (1d20+11)[26] for (1d8+23)[26]
Regular attack vs Hyra (1d20+16)[30] for (1d8+13)[18]
The Celestial vanishes in a burst of light, and arrows strike both Hyra and Merry.

Merry's arcane ward slows the arrow and exactly counters its forward momentum, leaving the arrow to drop on the ground in front of Merry. It leaves Merry untouched, though barely.
Merry takes a chance that the same strategy will work twice. He readies another mica chip and keeps a sharp elvish eye out for any reappearance of the archer. He crawls another 10' or so eastwards just to increase the likelihood of being in range.

Her Celestial had done enough of its job, this time. She conjures another one in its place, doing her best to ignore the pain in the arrow. Even if they could only loose a single arrow at a time, it was enough while Hyra was still desperately running to catch up.
