The Sundered Way

[spiderwrangler]

((Holger, first one drops it, you wanting to go after its friend?

If Maji doesn't have torch, he may be in the dark, I'll have to check the map later.))

[thinkslogically]

Nemeia had the torch and dropped it somewhere close to her current position (top middle probably) so she could have her hands free for shooting.

[spiderwrangler]

((Gave Tess benefit of assuming she dropped torch where it would illuminate the most. This is all that you guys can see currently. Holger, let me know if you go after the twig after downing the skele.))

Down Even More Stairs: MAP!

[Theis2]

I assume I'm in melee so I can't move back without AoO, so I might as well just stab it in that case. Otherwise back next to Tess

[spiderwrangler]

Holger: You drive your dagger into the skeletal blight, stepping up as it collapses to the ground to lop off a few twigs from the twig blight in front of you.

Tess

[thinkslogically]

Is the skeleblight in front of Maji still standing?

[spiderwrangler]

((It is.))

[thinkslogically]

Ok, I'll take a shot at that then:

Shortbow attack: 1D20 + 4 = [4]+4 = 8

...nope!

[spiderwrangler]

Tess: You fire at the skeletal blight, missing once again... at least as far as Maji is concerned, you might be able to blame your string of misses on the poor lighting!

The skeletal blight swings back at Maji, but misses. So does the needle blight, which then backs up into the darkness.

Skeleblight attack on Maji: 1D20+4 = [6]+4 = 10

((Randy, give me another Perception at Disadvantage.))

^We're going to end up not hearing them and going the other way and walk into an ambush and end up fighting two different fights, in a split of group....we're all gonna die...

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Perception (disadv): 2D20.LOW(1)+3 = [13, 11]+3 = 14 ((Maybe? ))

[thinkslogically]

((we marked the direction we went, so you should hopefully find us. Might be time for a retreat soon though. There's a LOT of stuff down here and no room to swing a cat))

[spiderwrangler]

Randerwaith: Near the edge of your lantern light, you can see that the stairs have leveled off. It would appear you are about to reach the lower level.


((I currently have the main party moving 30 ft at the top of the round, if you are still moving as a party for now, I'll probably stick with that until initiative order is warranted.))

[Arch Lich Burns]

Quarterstaff: 1D20+4 = [2]+4 = 6
1D6+2 = [1]+2 = 3 Dang it!

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Randy alerts the rest of the group: "We're coming up on the bottom now. Stay sharp." ((Without meta knowledge of the ongoing fight, I don't see the party doing anything differently. They would continue to proceed as per the early plan. If they hear the fight, Randy will step up the pace, but he'll want to arrive as a group, not knowing exactly what they'll be getting into.))

[spiderwrangler]

*Whoosh* Maji swings in vain at the skeletal blight, its rattling bones almost mocking him as the vines writhe in the center of the headless torso.

The twig blight swipes at Holger, but the dexterous mage manages to skip over it.

Twigmen: Attack on Holger: 1D20+3 = [8]+3 = 11

Holger
Tess

[Theis2]

Holger strikes the twig blight with his blades, followed by a bit of an arrogant snort as the blight collapses in front of him. He moves over to Tess afterwards.

"How is the dragonborn doing?"

Holger daggers: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19
1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19
Dagger damage: 2D4+3 = [2, 4]+3 = 9

[Arch Lich Burns]

REACTION! Attack of Opportunity against needleblight!
Opportunity Attack: 2D20.LOW(1)+4 = [18, 9]+4 = 13
1D6+2 = [2]+2 = 4

(How am I doing? I think I am on 11 hp but I don't remember if a blight was able to hit me after I transformed back)

[thinkslogically]

"Still standing so far! He's a hell of a tough lizard this one! There's one more skeletal blight down here and something else that just moved out of sight... Keep watch on your side, I'll shout when this side is clear!"

Nem will step right and try to shoot past Maji again, before ducking back to the centre square:
Shortbow attack: 1D20 + 4 = [8]+4 = 12

[spiderwrangler]

As the needle blight ducks back, Maji thwacks it good.

Holger easily dispatches the twig blight before returning to Tess's side.

Tess gives him an update before missing another shot at the skeletal blight.

The skeleblight swings at Maji futilely.

Skeleblight attack on Maji: 1D20+4 = [3]+4 = 7

((Randy, let's have another perception check at disadvantage please.))

[Arch Lich Burns]

It's maji's turn next right?

Maji grins at Tess' assessment of him, focusing more on the blight in front of him.

quaterstaff: 1D20+4 = [6]+4 = 10
1D6+2 = [1]+2 = 3

...well the good news is that the blights are having as much luck as we are.

[thinkslogically]

Unless Holger can get a shot in on the bone light, Nem will try again:

Shortbow attack: 1D20 + 4 = [2]+4 = 6

Not that it matters.

[spiderwrangler]

Maji utterly whiffs at the skeletal blight, perhaps thrown off by Tess's praise.

((Holger can pass through Tess, fire from behind Maji, and make it back to where he started.))

Holger
Tess

[thinkslogically]

((cool stuff. I'm out for a bit this afternoon anyway, so at least you can move on if I'm not around))

[spiderwrangler]

((You mean your MO of warning shots? ))
