Strega

Once through the door Strega will scout around a bit, looking for kobolds, villagers etc. She will try to be as sneaky as possible.

Rumble

As soon as the door is opened Rumble bursts through, eager to be released from the tight quarters. He jumps into the stream and splashes his face and fur.

When he's finished, he takes a look around. Perception: [1d20+2] = 1+2 = 3

Unfortunately, he got water in his eyes.

Quaalxor

Quaalxor waits to see if anyone less clanky than him wants to go out first and take a look, if not he will.

Tannaris Vethykos

Tannaris scoots out through the gate and to the left side of the tunnel entrance. He draws a blade and looks around to get his bearings.

Initiative Order
  • 22: Kobolds
  • 22: Oskar
  • 21: Tannaris
  • 17: Strega
  • 14: Quaalxor
  • 12: Rumble
  • 9: Cultists
  • 7: Bren

Round 1
With the lock overcome, the grate is able to be removed from its place exposing a small swatch of grassy land which runs for a few feet before reaching the banks a shallow stream.

Almost immediately, Rumble races through the line and bursts through the circular grate, eager to be released from the tight quarters of the tunnel. Without hesitation, the barbarian jumps into the stream and begins splashing.

The others exit the tunnel with more caution, learning as they exit that the tunnel deposits itself out the side of a very short hill, maybe 5-feet tall.

Oskar exits the tunnel and continues straight, beginning to wade through the knee high stream water, making his way for the other shore. Bren and Strega file out to the right, while Tannaris and Quaalxor shift to their left.

That's when the attack is sprung!

A raider group, attracted by the sounds made during the lock-picking and breaking attempts, was able to secretly position themselves overhead, perched and waiting for their victims to finish emerging.

In a well-timed effort, a silent hand signal is given and the raiders move to ambush! Everyone except Oskar is caught completely unaware; the sound of Rumble's splashing aiding to mask the stealthy efforts of the attackers.

A half dozen kobold slings bullets rain down, with two each targeting Tannaris, Rumble, and Strega. The pairs targeting Tannaris and Strega remain overhead, standing atop the slight hill at the groups' back; the pair targeting Rumble slide down the hill and pelt the barbarian from the shore. Tannaris (-10) and Rumble (-3)(-7) each become aware of the previously unseen attackers when bullets crash against the back of their heads!

Three humanoid cultists, each brandishing scimitars and wearing full, dark cloaks, slash down at Tannaris, Quaalxor, and Strega. A light stream of blood begins to seep from a cut on Strega's shoulder (-8) after a perfectly placed slash cuts through the flesh of the half-orc.

The group, now fully aware they've stumbled into an ambush, prepare to respond!

drpete, feel free to post two actions/movements for Oskar; one for round 1 (surprise) and one for round 2 (upcoming). In terms of timing, his round 1 action will take place after the kobolds attacked, but before the cultists.

Please declare any actions and/or movement for round 2.

      • Dwarven Resilience
        • You have advantage on saves against poison and resistance against poison damage.

      • Tool Proficiency
        • Mason's Tools
      • 1st: Expertise: (Perception, Thieves' Tools)
        • Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
      • 1st: Sneak Attack (1d6)
        • Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse or a ranged weapon.
        • You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
      • 1st: Thieves’ Cant
        • During your rogue training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation.
        • Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages.
        • It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
        • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

        • You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

        • As well respected as clan crafters are among outsiders, no one esteems them quite so highly as dwarves do. You always have free room and board in any place where shield dwarves or gold dwarves dwell, and the individuals in such a settlement might vie among themselves to determine who can offer you (and possibly your compatriots) the finest accommodations and assistance.

      Features:
      • Relentless Endurance
        • When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead.
          Recovery: Long
      • Savage Attacks:

      • 1st: Spellcasting
      • 1st: Druidic
        • You know Druidic, the secret language of druids.
        • You can speak the language and use it to leave hidden messages.
        • You and others who know this language automatically spot such a message.
        • Others spot the message’s presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can’t decipher it without magic.
      • 2nd: Wild Shape: 2
        • Recovery: Short
        • Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.
        • Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into:
          Beast Shapes (Forest )
          • 2nd
            • Max. CR: 1/4
            • Limitations: No flying or swimming speed
            • Example: Wolf
          • 4th
            • Max. CR: 1/2
            • Limitations: No flying speed
            • Example: Crocodile
          • 8th:
          While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
          • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
          • When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
          • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
          • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
          • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
      • 2nd: Druid Circle (Circle of Dreams)
        • Circle of Dreams Features
          • 2nd: Balm of the Summer Court
            • Fey Energy Pool (d6): 2, 1, 0 (Druid Level)
            • As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your druid level or less.
            • Roll the spent dice and add them together.
            • The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total.
            • The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.
              Recovery: Long

      Background: Hermit
      • Feature: Discovery (Details)
        • The quiet seclusion of your extended hermitage gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your seclusion. It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.

      • Trance

Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories of your homeland.

          You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and peopl

      • Feature: Guild Membership
        • As an established and respected member of a guild, you can rely on certain benefits that membership provides. Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.

          Guilds often wield tremendous political power. If you are accused of a crime, your guild will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful political figures through the guild, if you are a member in good standing. Such connections might require the donation of money or magic items to the guild’s coffers.

          You must pay dues of 5 gp per month to the guild. If you miss payments, you must make up back dues to remain in the guild’s good graces.

Round 1
Oskar spots the ambush attempt and rushes towards the shore. Using the Rumble's presence to his advantage, he sneakily and forcefully jabs the nearest kobold with his rapier -- and is shocked when the kobold doesn't immediately fall.


Round 2
Oskar, determined to finish what he started, finally runs the powerful kobold through with a second well-placed strike.

The kobolds continue to press their sling attacks. The northernmost pair continue to target Tannaris, and do so with great accuracy. The first hurler, with a near perfect stone, leaves the elven fighter mage stunned (-9), until the second kobold's stone causes the lights to go out as Tannaris collapses and ends up face down in the soft turf.

On the shore, the remaining kobold (pink), clearly not liking its chances against both Oskar and Rumble, formally backs away and regroups behind the two cultists at the top of the hill.

To the south of the tunnel, the last pair of kobolds split their focus, with one targeting Strega and the other Bren. The half-orc manages to safely duck out of harm's way as the stone sinks harmlessly into the stream behind her, but the dragonborn gets grazed in the shoulder as a rock caroms off, inches from his face.

The fallen form of Tannaris looks to stabilize. Strega, the pale half-orc, wheels around, and in one continuous swipe with her scimitar, slices through the leg of the cultist looming over her head. The cultist momentarily screams in pain before falling silent -- and over the side of the hill.

Quaalxor works himself into a dwarven lather. The warrior raises his battle axe overhead and chops down at the cultist standing overhead. A pained scream is heard as his axe blade finds purchase, but while the cultist is severely hobbled, it does manage to remain on its feet.

"I was taking a bath!" Rumble growls as he works himself into a rage. With bloodlust in his eyes, the barbarian takes focus on the nearest group of adversaries -- he bounds up the slight hill, positions himself between the two cultists, then buries his warhammer in the face of the kobold that fled from him moments earlier, crushing its puny skull.

Rumble's intimidating presence appears to have the cultists on edge, as both of their nervous scimitar attacks miss their marks. The barbarian, in the midst of his rage, hears words.
  • The bad guys are talking.
    Why talk when you should be fighting?
    He thinks he hears one say "Fallback?"
Bren is about to curse as his aim with his Fire Bolt appears to be slightly offline, but watches in surprised relief when the mote of flame connects with the kobold target and drops it in a squeal of pain. "Weakling," the sorcerer thinks to himself.

With half the kobolds dead, one cultist down, and another one severely wounded, all indications suggest the ambush effort may be coming to a quick end.

      • 1st: Sneak Attack (1d6)

        • It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
        • In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.

        • Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.
        • Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into:
          Beast Shapes (Forest )
          • 2nd
            • Max. CR: 1/4
            • Limitations: No flying or swimming speed
            • Example: Wolf
          • 4th
            • Max. CR: 1/2
            • Limitations: No flying speed
            • Example: Crocodile
          • 8th:
          While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
          • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
          • When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
          • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
          • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
          • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

            • Roll the spent dice and add them together.
            • The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total.

It might be a great truth about the cosmos, the deities, the powerful beings of the outer planes, or the forces of nature. It could be a site that no one else has ever seen. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the people who or consigned you to exile, and hence the reason for your return to society.

At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.

      Background: Guild Artisan / Guild Merchant
      • Feature: Guild Membership
        • As an established and respected member of a guild, you can rely on certain benefits that membership provides. Your fellow guild members will provide you with lodging and food if necessary, and pay for your funeral if needed. In some cities and towns, a guildhall offers a central place to meet other members of your profession, which can be a good place to meet potential patrons, allies, or hirelings.

          Guilds often wield tremendous political power. If you are accused of a crime, your guild will support you if a good case can be made for your innocence or the crime is justifiable. You can also gain access to powerful political figures through the guild, if you are a member in good standing. Such connections might require the donation of money or magic items to the guild’s coffers.

          You must pay dues of 5 gp per month to the guild. If you miss payments, you must make up back dues to remain in the guild’s good graces.
