Group 1, Episode 1: Greenest in Flames

[drpete]

Oskar

Oskar stows his bow, and draws his dagger(s), then moves in to attack, trying, if possible, to attack a kobold near an ally. If the kobolds between him and Rumble are cleared, he will move forward to assist Rumble.

Dagger [1d20+4] = 19+4 = 23 [1d4+2] = 4+2 = 6 sneak attack [1d6] = 4

IF he could draw that second dagger in the one round and attack, then...
2nd dagger [1d20+4] = 15+4 = 19 dam [1d4] = 4

Oskar will use disengage, if needed, to move around to an opponent where he can get the sneak attack bonus (probably with Rumble), if any such opponents exist.

[ravenn4544]

Bren, with no reserves of power to hurl more advanced magic, relies on his inborn ability to influence the world to create a bolt of fire which he hurls at kobold.

Fire Bolt Attack [1d20+5] = 3+5 = 8
Fire Bolt Damage [1d10] = 1

[Rex]

Strega

Strega will continue to try to stay close to the wagon and targets another Kobold with Produce Flame, if possible her order of preference is Winged Kobold, Kobold then Dog unless one manages to engage her directly then she will attack that.

Produce Flame [1d20+4] = 19+4 = 23 to hit [1d8] = 4 damage

[Ahlmzhad]

Quaalxor

I had offered assistance to Rumble in getting the horse off the path so if that works he should have advantage on that roll.


Quaalxor rushes forward and swings at the first available target with his Great Axe.


Great Axe: [1d20+5] = 3+5 = 8

Damage: [1d12+3] = 4+3 = 7

[Monsieur Rose]

Rumble

Animal Handling: [1d20] = 12

Rumble bellows when Daisy is hit. "Foul codpiece smelling wrinkly sacks of bile! I'll kill you!"

If he is able to control Daisy, Rumble points her at the green and yellow kobolds and urges her forward. He hands the reigns to Liran "Keep going. Get these people to the keep!" Rumble pulls a javelin off his back and hurls it at the yellow kobold. Javelin: [1d20+4] = 3+4 = 7

If he is unable to control Daisy...well, I guess he's going on a ride.

[Gerrin]

Tannaris Vethykos

Tannaris continues to advance with the group and throws another fire bolt at the kobolds. (aiming for the blue one)

Fire bolt spell [1d20+5] = 11+5 = 16

Fire bolt damage [1d10] = 6

[dmw71]

Initiative Order

• (Note: The following order will be used until the keep is reached.)

• 18: Tannaris
• 14: Kobolds
• 12: Bren
• 11: Strega
• 9: Oskar, Quaalxor
• 7: Rumble (moves first when in wagon)

Round 2
Tannaris creeps forward slowly and continues to wisely rely on his ranged attack. The elf hurls a mote of fire in the direction of one of the nearest, already wounded kobolds, finishing it off.

After witnessing his neighboring combatants fall, the nearest kobold (purple), already wounded, drops back slightly, slings a stone wildly at Quaalxor, then falls back to position himself behind the pair of spear-toting allies. These spear chuckers (green, yellow), produce another round of spears and continue to target Daisy. One spear falls short, sticking point-first into the ground just shy of the draft horse's position, but the second sinks deep into the mare's neck! The perfectly placed shot stops Daisy in her tracks and causes a steady stream of blood to spill from her most recent wound. She rears back on her hind legs.

Behind the remaining front-line assailants, the dog-tamer releases the hound, which furiously begins to rush at the group! The trainer also begins to creep forward, settling in behind its spear-chucking allies.

The two winged kobolds spread their small leathery wings and take flight, stopping maybe 15-feet in the air and hovering in place.

Bren, already planning to target the nearest kobold (green) hurls a Fire Bolt at his chosen target, but the threat of the oncoming dog proves to be enough of a distraction as his mote of flame sails harmlessly overhead.

Strega, not seeing the flying kobolds advance, considers the rushing dog a priority target and zaps it with a burst of flame, singeing its right ear and barely missing its eyes with a near-perfect shot.

After quickly stowing his bow and switching to his daggers, Oskar, without an ideal target, bravely rushes forward and powerful sinks his first dagger deep into the hound's hide! The beast briefly howls in pain, then collapses -- dead.

Gripping his great axe tightly, Quaalxor begins to rush forward. Realizing, with his shorter strides, he wouldn't be able to reach a melee target, he stops short, just past Oskar, and readies himself to use his axe should someone be foolish enough to draw near enough.

"Foul codpiece smelling wrinkly sacks of bile! I'll kill you!" Rumble roars when his mount is targeted and struck -- a situation which has compounded itself and left his mare barely clinging to its life. The barbarian, somehow, manages to fight off his rage and calmly strokes Daisy's neck, near where the spear remains, protruding from half way down her crest. He is able to keep his mount from outright fleeing, or darting off, but Daily continues to squeal and refuses to move. Fearing she'll dart if he leaves her side, Rumble pulls a javelin off his back and hurls it wildly at the kobold responsible for nearly killing his animal companion.

Despite suffering some casualties, the kobolds appear to remain fully engaged in the conflict -- and seem particularly interested in Daisy... or maybe what she'll pulling behind her.

    • 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:
          • Max. CR: 1
          • Limitations: --
          • Example: Giant Eagle
        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.

    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.

        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

    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.

If he can't get in range with his great axe he will throw a hand axe at the closest target, or one of the winged ones if they are in range.

Strega

Strega will try to continue to shield the wagon and attack her closest target with Produce Flame.

Produce Flame [1d20+4] = 18+4 = 22 to hit [1d8] = 7 damage

Rumble

Rumble is barely containing himself at the moment. He gets down off the wagon and goes in front of Daisy to both comfort her and protect her.

He is trying to use his body and shield to prevent any damage from reaching Daisy.

Not sure how that would work.
In order of importance:
Protect Daisy, even shielding her with his body.
Throw another javelin. Javelin: [1d20+4] = 20+4 = 24
Damage: [1d6+2] = 2+2 = 4 + [1d6] = 3 ==7
How many spears do they have left?

He targets the left flying kobold of the two and casts magic missile at it

Magic Missile [1d4+1] = 4+1 = 5 , [1d4+1] = 1+1 = 2 , [1d4+1] = 1+1 = 2

Oskar will attack the kobolds, looking for kobolds distracted by his friends.

Initiative Order

• (Note: The following order will be used until the keep is reached.)

• 18: Tannaris
• 14: Kobolds
• 12: Bren
• 11: Strega
• 9: Oskar, Quaalxor
• 7: Rumble (moves first when in wagon)

Round 3
Tannaris takes a few cautious steps forward, settling in behind Oskar, and unleashes a trio of arcane bolts at the leftmost urd. The three missiles plunge into the creature in rapid succession, striking unerroringly, and opening three puncture wounds in the creatures chest! The flying kobold spirals to its death as it crashes to the ground with a thud, sending a small plume of dirt and dust flying once it makes impact.

The kobolds rush!

The four break off into pairs, with two each targeting Quaalxor and Oskar respectively. Oskar easily fends off the first dagger strike against him, and the second attempt is unable to pierce through the chain links in his armor. Quaalxor, however, does not fair nearly as well as his chain armor is unable to protect against a pair of dagger strikes; one sinking into his right side (-4) and the other his left thigh (-6).

The remaining flying kobold, after witnessing his companion get blasted out of the air, darts towards Daisy and Rumble; elevating slightly to increase its height to roughly 25-feet. Once overhead, a melon-sized rock is spotted in its hands, and it releases it while directly overhead Daisy. Rubble, doing everything in his power to protect his mare, leans forward to intercept its path and manages to deflect the falling chuck from finding its mark.

Bren, with a kobold directly in his line (yellow), unleashes another mote of flame in its direction, but having seen that method of attack previously, the creature is able to duck out of harm's way just in time.

Strega moves past the wagon and positions herself just behind Daisy's hindquarters. The half-orc unleashes another burst of flame, at the same kobold that just avoided Bren's attack, and connects! The kobold screams in pain as it is engulfed in flames and it collapses to the ground, ending in an unmoving mess of charred flesh.

Targeting the kobold between himself and Quaalxor (pink), Oskar sticks it twice with daggers, ending its miserable existence. Quaalxor, now engaged in melee with a pair of attackers, both of which stuck him moments earlier, has a hint of indecision which causes his powerful strike with his great axe to just miss slicing a kobold a half.

Rumble leaps down from his mount and, targeting the flying fock that narrowly missed claiming Daisy's life, hurls a javelin with all his might, completely piercing the urd and killing it mid-flight, causing it, too, to come crashing to the ground.

    • 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:
          • Max. CR: 1
          • Limitations: --
          • Example: Giant Eagle
        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: Balm of the Summer Court

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

    • 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.

      • 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.

Rumble steps on the winged kobold at his feet and pulls his javelin out. He turns to chase down the others but catches sight of Daisy. Her grievous wounds distract him and he focuses on his mare.

He quickly calls for aid while trying to gently remove the harness. "Hey. Can anyone help her out?"

[Gerrin]

Tannaris Vethykos

Tannaris watches the fleeing kobolds cautiously.
He will head over to see if he can help with the horse.
As the fight winds down he will stay watchful for any more enemies in the area

Perception roll [1d20+2] = 9+2 = 11

Oskar

Oskar let's the fleeing kobolds go. Seeing that Daisy is hurt, he urges the group to make for the safety of the keep.

"Daisy will be safe when we get inside, Rumble!"

[Ahlmzhad]

Quaalxor

The Dwarf ignores his wounds and doubles down on his attack.

Great Axe: [1d20+5] = 2+5 = 7

Damage: [1d12+3] = 1+3 = 4

Initiative Order

• (Note: The following order will be used until the keep is reached.)

• 18: Tannaris
• 14: Kobolds
• 12: Bren
• 11: Strega
• 9: Oskar, Quaalxor
• 7: Rumble (moves first when in wagon)

The Keep
Spying Quaalxor ailing with a pair of wounds, Strega settles up alongside the dwarven fighter and, after uttering a brief prayer, places her hands upon the ailing warrior. A glow of blue, divine energy overtakes Quaalxor's form momentarily, with his actual wounds glowing most intensely. As the healing energy fades, so, too, does the pain, and the dwarf feels almost fully restored.

Rumble plucks the javelin free from the winged kobold it nearly completely pierced. His instinct is to chase down the assailants, but a pained whinny quickly shifts the barbarians focus. "Can anyone help her?" he asks, moving to his mare's side, comforting her. "Daisy will be safe when we get inside," Oskar responds, urging the group to continue their progress towards the keep.

The focus again shifted to the keep, you're afforded additional details about it from your now closer proximity:

Perched upon a small incline, a thick, 20-foot tall, pentagon-shaped stone wall topped with battlements stands defense. The wall, flat along the northern wall and coming to a point to the south, forms the foundation of the town's defenses, but is missing a moat, or gatehouse, and seems to be lacking in terms of strategic defensive measures. But it is sturdy and, from all appearances, has held up well against the dragon attacks to this point.

Atop this wall, guards are perched and manning a ballista, which they've been using with minimal success against the dragon that been harrying them.

The actual keep itself is a circular structure that elevates from the southeast corner of this walled area; rising to a height easily twice the height of the surrounding wall.

A raised portcullis marks what appears to be the sole entrance into the walled area. Armed guards can be seen hailing and assisting passing by townsfolk; shepherding them into the town's most defensible position.

The group's plan to reach the keep might be expedited as Tannaris, keeping look over the immediate area, spies four sets of raiding groups approaching the keep -- two from the north and two from the south.

The party is nearer to the keep, and the steeper incline is to the eastern side the raiders are approaching from, but it will be close, especially with a heavily wounded horse pulling a wagon full of townsfolk.

    • 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:
          • Max. CR: 1
          • Limitations: --
          • Example: Giant Eagle
        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.

    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.

    • 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.
