The Sundered Way

[M0rtimer]

Ulmwin has enough incentive to dash in the hallway the others are occupying so he'll do just that.

[Patdragon]

I'll keep behind zephyr to take any incoming hits. Hopefully with the disadvantage from the defensive action.

[spiderwrangler]

((Rudy,o get behind her, you won't be able to get quite as far, I was having her hold action to follow you, but that's fine.))

Ulmwin: You get to the other end of the hallway, but aren't able to dash past both of the guys down there. ((You'd need another 30 to get past them, so still have your action if there is anything you wish to use it on.))

---

Maji and Tess: You see Holger vanish from the edge of the torchlight as he's dragged deeper down the darkened serpentine corridor by the needle blight.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Okay time to chase after it again. Moving 30 to see it hopefully.

[spiderwrangler]

((Hold on, you're all in close enough proximity that I need to take things in initiative order. Coljin, Randy, then you.))

((Would they have heard Nem shouting for help?))

[spiderwrangler]

((I had to look as you posted it out of her turn order, but Coljin and Randy were right next to you when you left to go stab the twig blight, so yeah you basically just yelled it in their face and ran off down the hallway. ))

[thinkslogically]

hahahahah! Right then Well, at least they know.

[NotStickFigures]

Coljin continues following Tess, on to rescue Holger from...something. He will dash if he has too, so he ends up right behind her.
Breathlessly he asks her, "What happened?"

[thinkslogically]

"Holger's down and they're taking him... this way! But there's at least two vine blights down there, and gods know what else! We have to get him back before they reach the main hall! Quick, this way! If we can catch it now, we may only have to deal with a needle blight."

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Randy stays right with them, Dashing to get as far as possible while getting his swords ready. He's currently muttering a fairly constant stream of Orcish curses under his breath.

[spiderwrangler]

Coljin: You hurry down the passage, past a dropped torch in danger of going out, and end up behind Tess. After a brief query, she fills you in on Holger's abduction.
((You got there in 25ft of movement, so didn't need to use your dash if you'd like to use your action to do anything, as long as it isn't moving past the others, as you don't have enough to do so.))

Randy: Swords out and coarse curses on your lips, you sprint to catch up with Coljin, passing him, Tess and Maji.

Zephyr: You keep moving back, almost catching up with Ulmwin.

Maji: You push past Randy, moving down the hallway, but don't yet have visual on the retreating needle blight and your friend. ((You still have an action if you'd like to use it.))

Rudolph: ((I'm assuming you're retreating with Zephyr, using the dodge action as before? Let me know if that is not the case.))

Nope, he has nothing else to do until he gets into a larger room.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Maji is going to use his dash then to find Holger and prevent the needle blight from moving further. Wouldn't I have seen Holger though if it only moved 30'?

[spiderwrangler]

Maji: You dash up and straddle Holger's prone form.

((No, because you had difficult terrain to move past Randy, which slowed you by 5 ft.))

Well at least the blight cannot carry both of us and gives Tess a turn to hopefully kill the blight before Maji bites it.

► Show Spoiler

Yes I am being optimistic of Maji's fate.

[BadgeAddict]

Zephyrs intention will be too go and help...and running in the dark is easier for her....

But if all is you die...

[thinkslogically]

Nemeia sighs slightly as everyone starts barging past.

(How much movt will it cost to reach Holger? Can Nem get into melee range of the needle blight?)

[spiderwrangler]

((A move and a dash will get you to within melee against the blight, but it will have cover.))

[thinkslogically]

Yeah ok. I guess she'll do that and try to kill the blight. Nem will grab the torch off the ground first if she can and then dash to stab the needle blight:

Rapier attack: 1D20+4 = [11]+4 = 15

If that's a hit, I'm assuming she gets sneak attack damage because Maji is standing on Holger:
Rapier damage (sneak attack): 1D8+1D6+2 = [3]+[5]+2 = 10

[M0rtimer]

Ulmwin will proceed to rush down the hall to continue likely being far too late to help anyone once he arrives...

[spiderwrangler]

Tess: You hurry down the hallway, jamming your rapier between Maji and the corner of the wall, punching it deep into the needle blight's neck as it collapses backwards, dropping its grip on Holger's leg.

Ulmwin: You scurry along, catching up to and passing Coljin.

((My screen capture isn't quite big enough, the needle blight above Rudy is the dead one.))

[thinkslogically]

As the blight collapses, Nemeia will turn to Maji and say: "Quick! Stuff a berry in his mouth and let's get out of here before the rest of those creatures find us!"

[NotStickFigures]

Coljin will move up to 10 feet in front of Randy, trying to light up a good portion of the hallway.

[spiderwrangler]

((You do that.))
