Looks at Max.

Your on Guard Duty. I'm going to help.

And draws three throwing daggers makes a 10 foot move and fires.

[1d20+3]=16+3=19 Throwing Dagger
[1d3+1]=2+1=3 Throwing Dagger Damage

[1d20+3]=20+3=23 Throwing Dagger CRIT
[1d3+1]=1+1=2 Throwing Dagger Damage 3

[1d20+3]=1+3=4 Throwing Dagger Critical Miss

Draws his Long Sword and waits for the crab to advance.

Feeling the realness of finally being in the fight he's so longed for he lets out a yell, but he has a bit of a flutter in his stomach as he pulls back his sword, seeing the second crab, he attacks again.

Long Sword: [1d20+1]=8+1=9

Damage: [1d8+1]=7+1=8

I don't see anything for Max or Feanol. Should I assume that when you don't post for your second characters, they are holding their actions?

Paladin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 3:32 pm Pardon my confusion on this one. If Keyon were to charge the crab, can he still attack with both sword and dagger or just the sword?

If he can attack with both weapons, does he get the +2 for charging on each attack or not?

The language in the books is a tad confusing.

He could attack with both on a charge, but I would tend to think he would only get the bonus with the first weapon he attacked with. I am willing to rethink that if someone has any proof or a good argument against it.

Max

Max is guarding the rogues, and Magic User. He is waiting for the crab to get through everyone else before attacking.


OOC- He is a Scholar after all.

Keyon

The rogue spots the second crab coming as he reaches for a branch, then sighs and turns back to the fray.

"I try to be a proper scoundrel and hide while you lot do the bloody work--" he draws his longsword and a dagger--"but always wind up getting my hands dirty."

He charges toward the first crab, blades aloft.

[1d20+2]=2+2=4, [1d8+1]=8+1=9, [1d20-1]=4-1=3, [1d4+1]=1+1=2

I forgot that spaces in the macro throw an error, so I have two rolls in the log for this attack. If you prefer to use one set over the other, whatever works.

Since a club is fairly close to a morning star, I will only enact a -1 penalty for Elnaerel's nonproficient attack. (You're welcome.)

Gnodric yells out when he gets his arm pinched by one of the huge flailing claws of the first crab, causing his blow to falter. 4 dam (A Hard Str roll [4d6] will allow him to break free from the grasp so he can continue attacking.)

Keg is unable to hurt the beast with his attack this time, and a charge into battle by Keyon proves even less effective, putting the cautiously slick elf in harms way once again. Elnaerel slams her club into the crabs thick shell, crushing it in one area and causing the large crustacean to lurch from the blow. This crab is looking a bit beat up, now but it remains in the fight so far.

Darklin leaps forward, telling Max to watch over the unmoving Feanol. He tosses three throwing knives at the oncoming crab, sinking two of them into soft flesh, while the third hits the rocks in front of the monster and snaps in half with a loud pinging sound. This action causes the second crab to veer around towards Elnaerel instead of charging at Darklin. She is hit by one of the new crabs claws as well, lifting her off the rocky ground and currently trying to snap the poor elf in half. 6 dam (A Hard Str roll [4d6] will allow her to break free from the grasp so she can continue attacking.)

Wisely staying away from the pinchers all together, TK scurries up a patchy thorn tree and readies his darts, watching as the pair of crabs are surrounded by his friends on the ground.

Actions!

If the Strength rolls fail, you can still attempt an attack, but you will take automatic damage in the process.

Darklin

Sees the crab run from the metal ping follows it around behind the first and swings at it with his long sword.

[1d20+2]=15+2=17 Long sword attack
[1d8+1]=1+1=2 S/M [1d12+1]=2+1=3 L Long sword damage

Keg

The big man refuses to give up and keeps attacking!

Long Sword [1d20+1]=2+1=3 S DMG: [1d8+3]=7+3=10 L DMG: [1d12+3]=3+3=6

I think we've made a mistake! he says as his sword bounces off the crab's shell again.

The Knife

"I told you crabs are terrible eatin' " The Knife calls out. "They're even worse when they're trying to eat you!" He keeps looking for a chance to throw a dart without hitting someone.

Gnodric

Breaking free of the crab ([4d6]=13) the young elf strikes at it again.

Long Sword: [1d20+1]=6+1=7

Elnaerel

Hard Skill Check [4d6]=12 vs STR 15

The elf frees herself and starts retreating towards the forest without losing sight of the crab, taking first cover behind Gnodric before she starts making a runs for it towards the tree line.

Feanol

Is holding and observing the battle.

I would post if there was something for her to do. Right now she's just trying to stay out of the area of danger without finding other danger to be in

Keyon

Rather than do the smart thing and put space between himself and the massive beast, Keyon takes another swipe at the crab. He snarls at his unsuccessful attempts.

[1d20]=5, [1d8+1]=6+1=7, [1d20-1]=8-1=7, [1d4+1]=4+1=5

Continuing to divide their attacks between both of the monsters proves to be problematic as Keg, Gnodric, and Keyon all fail to put the injured crab down, their swords simply bouncing off its thick orange shell. It grabs Keg in its claw this time, pinching the human tightly and drawing him closer to the beasts mouth. 5 dam (Hard Str roll to break the grip of pain, please.)

Darklin rushes behind the first crab and thrusts his hot sword into the second huge animal, causing a spray of grey ichor to ooze from the new wound. The beast rears around and attacks the elf for his troubles, slamming a thick claw into the side of his head, 4 dam allowing Elnaerel to escape its clutches. She high tails it around the battle, heading back to the tree line where Max, Feanol, and TK are holding their actions.

Keg

Grunts loudly as he is grabbed up and coughs before pounding on the claw and pushing outward with an angry growl against the claw. Seeing the mouth was a big motivator.

STR 18 v [4d6]=14

Like those before you, you can make an attack once you are able to escape.

Darklin

Swings again at the craby, trying to stay out of it's clutches..

[1d20+2]=18+2=20 Long Sword

[1d8+1]=2+1=3 Long Sword Damage

Keg

Once free, the big man grunts into the next swing trying to find a soft spot.

Long Sword [1d20+1]=11+1=12 S DMG: [1d8+3]=5+3=8 L DMG: [1d12+3]=6+3=9

Oh I hope that is enough to break through!!!

Elnaerel

Elnaerel goes a little back and stands behind Keg. She prays to Ehlenestra and bids her for her divine powers to heal the warrior.

Cure Light Wounds: [1d8]=3

Gnodric

Takes another swing at the beast.

Long Sword: [1d20+1]=2+1=3


Feanol

Considers going to bandage Elnaerel, but when she charges back to assist Keg she holds her position.
