Stable
Wyreth
Tharmyr

Deceased
Loran
Rocco




Initiative
17: Rocco (14+3)
13: Tharmyr (12+1), Wyreth (12+1)
10: Kari (8+2)
9: Attacker (7+2)
5: Loran (2+3)
0: Goblins (0)


Round 15
Risking her own personal safety, Kari reaches in and grabs hold of Thrymr's boot and begins dragging the gnome towards her, outside the chapel. She is relieved to detect slight movements in the sorcerer's chest as the shallow but stable breathes demonstrate proof of life.

Her efforts nearly cost her her own life, however, as Kari gets plunked once again by the wooden statue which has been redirected to target her, with accuracy. (-4)



Hit Points
Kari: 13-3 = 10-5 = 5-4 = 1

I'm going to pause at this point, pending further direction.

* Loran and Rocco are deceased.
* Wyreth and Tharymr are stable.
* Everyone is just outside the entry to the chapel. You can expect some level of cover depending upon your next action.

Kari

Uses Second Wind as a bonus action. (heals 1d10+1 HP, die roller still down)

She will then finish any goblins she can.

Next she secures those still alive in a safe place and waits, watching over them.

Stable
Wyreth

Deceased
Loran
Rocco




Initiative
17: Rocco (14+3)
13: Tharmyr (12+1), Wyreth (12+1)
10: Kari (8+2)
9: Attacker (7+2)
5: Loran (2+3)
0: Goblins (0)


Round 16
Kari drags Thrymr away from the entrance to the chapel, laying the gnome to rest (temporarily) at the corner, and hopefully out of harm's way. Able to reach the sleeping goblins from a distance with her glaive, she jabs at the nearest one, successfully skewering it. That taking damage would have woken it up, and that the creature temporarily yelped in pain but has not moved since, suggests that her blow was successful in killing the little pest outright.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, she catches her second wind and feels almost back to full health.


Once positioned at the corner of the chapel, with near-total cover (Three-Quarters Cover), the unseen attacker hurls objects wildly in her general direction, but none come particularly close to being harmful.

While the unseen attacker does seem to be repositioning itself from side-to-side in order to still target Kari suggests the contest is not yet over, and it will continue to attack her... but it's also apparent that the haunt seems reluctant to leave the confines of the chapel itself.

Round 17
While she's able to keep herself safe from any harm, her cautionary positioning perhaps contributes to Kari's inability to successfully strike the next goblin in range.

0: Goblins (0)


Round 18
With increased focus and determination, Kari is able to successfully jab at the next sleeping goblin, which yelps in pain! It angrily rises to its feet and, not quite dead, charges at Kari with its curved goblin blade, successfully slashing her in her right forearm. (-8) As it turns out, the goblin would have awoken from its magical slumber even if it hasn't been roused by her non-fatal strike as evidenced by the fact that the second slumbering goblin also rises to its feet. Seeing its companion rushing to attack the half-orc, it follows suit but Kari is ready for this second effort and fends off the incoming attack with her glaive.

The flying debris from inside once again lands harmlessly away from where Kari is located.

Round 19
Now tasked with unfavorable numbers, Kari looks to -- and succeeds in -- eliminating the already wounded goblin, leaving just the one goblin plus the unseen attacker as the remaining threats.

While she was once again able to successfully fend off the goblin attack, the enraged poltergeist musters up some uncharacteristic accuracy. The half-orc can only watch as one of the benches from inside the chapel, seemingly in slow motion, comes crashing into her.

Everything goes black.

I'm really sorry, guys. :(



I'm tempted to not restart this game right away, if at all. Three games has been a bit difficult to manage so streamlining my efforts into just two games will be a welcome reprieve.

What I will do, however, is offer any of you an opening in either of my other two games -- your pick.

If you're interested, definitely let me know, and also let me know which of my other games you prefer. My 'Manor Hills' game is a 1st-level group so you're welcome to simply port a fresh copy of your character used here into that game as-is or create a new character entirely. My 'Mad Mage' game is a 5th-level group, so you're welcome to either level your current characters up to 5th, or create brand new characters. Again, your choice.

Both groups are in positions where meeting up with new talent can easily be worked into the game without disruption.


If you elect not to continue on, I understand. It's been challenging at times to keep up with this (and my other) games, but it has definitely been fun.

Thanks for running, Dave! It has been great to whet our appetites on 5e here.

It's good, sometimes, to see that TPKs can still happen. :D

They're not common, but still possible. Even in unexpected ways.
