The Wandering Archipelago (D&D 5e)

[Dlover]

"I suggest we should all go. If they're hunters then hiding our numbers would be suspicious, if they're not then showing our numbers may dissuade them from hostility."

[spiderwrangler]

"Right behind you boss!", I say as I step into Mehr's shadow.

► Show Spoiler

Using my Lightfoot Halfling trait of "Naturally Stealthy. You can attempt to hide even when you are obscured only by a creature that is at least one size larger than you."

Hiding behind Mehr: 1D20+6 = [17]+6 = 23

[thinkslogically]

Sounds good what about everyone else? And what are doing with the gnome?

[Arch Lich Burns]

Gwen will follow Merhiv, keeping an eye on the gnome to make sure she does not cause trouble.


Per on gnome: 1D20+1 = [15]+1 = 16

[WearsHats]

Kal moves with the group. "I'll stay towards the front in case of hostility, but I don't think I'm best qualified to be spokesman."

[Nioca]

"Ooh, this oughta be good..." Syli groans. She follows the rest of the group in.

[thinkslogically]

The group head into the camp, with Mehriv being quietly tailed by Korrik. Gwen and the gnome follow, with Kal then Syli rounding out the group. Darruk just humphs himself along sadly at the back. The gnome druid doesn't seem particularly happy that Gwen is keeping such a close eye on her, and sticks her tongue out at her as they walk.

---------------------------

The half-orc looks up with curiosity as the party enter the clearing, but his face turns to a angry surprise as he spots the gnome. Gwen is still watching as the gnome as grins and waggles her fingers back at him in a cheeky wave.

He snarls, "You!" as he rises fluidly to his feet and reaches for the nearby javelin...

--------------------------

[Arch Lich Burns]

Gwen sighs when she saw the gnome giving them a cheeky wave. "Hold on hold on. Now before you do anything rash can you tell us what she did? We want to hear both sides of the story before we do anything."

[thinkslogically]

I'll take a persuasion roll please

[Arch Lich Burns]

persuade: 1D20+4 = [15]+4 = 19

[spiderwrangler]

((I'm readying a dart to toss in case things go sideways.))

[thinkslogically]

The half-orc grunts and stops moving towards the javelin, but doesn't take his eyes off the gnome for a long few seconds.

"Then speak. Why do you protect the thief?"

The gnome is clearly delighted with the way this is going. She moves to the side of the group with a broad grin on her face and cackles happily.

"Tell him! Oh tell him your plan!"

[Arch Lich Burns]

"...She told us you hunted her without reason." She frowns at the gnome. "You knew what stealing is and led us astray. No wonder the hunters harmed you. What did she steal? Maybe she can make it up to you." She glares at the gnome.

[thinkslogically]

The gnome takes a step back from Gwen at the accusation, her grin slipping a little as she steps away from the party.

The half-orc growls low again and steps closer towards his javelin.

"Many things from many people. She has been plaguing hunting camps for months, sabotaging and endangering us on hunts. Me and Rayf've been sent to deal with her. And now she's here."

[Dlover]

Mehr frowns, "Deliberately endangering people, sabotaging hunts which disrupts food supplies, stealing from estates... I think there are some problems which need to be discussed."

[Nioca]

As the gnome starts to step away, Syli swiftly and smoothly steps up behind her. "And just where do you think you're going?"

[Dlover]

Oh, I should mention that Mehr's not taking any action, but with Syli in the line of fire he'll be ready to Mage Hand the javelin if it endangers her.

[thinkslogically]

OK, let's have some initiative rolls then please

[Arch Lich Burns]

"Don't you dare run away!" Orcish "Esta ciri quen sela credunt por voion! Pero nunka morla. (If true then she need to pay for actions! But not by death.)

Init: 1D20+3 = [9]+3 = 12

[Dlover]

Mehr Initiative: 14

[spiderwrangler]

Initiative: 1D20+4 = [11]+4 = 15

[WearsHats]

Kal addresses the gnome. "What do you have to say for yourself? Have you done these things? If so, why?"

He reluctantly readies himself, though he's still hoping for a peaceful solution.

Initiative: 1D20+1 = [13]+1 = 14

[Nioca]

Syli Initiative (+3): 7

((...initiative rolls do not like me))

[thinkslogically]

"Why so angry? They have plenty! I am only small. No harm!"

The gnome scowls at Syli then elbows her hard in the gut and makes a run for the trees, her shape morphing into that of a sleek black panther as she sprints into the woods! The half orc curses loudly.

"Not again! Don't let her escape!"

((Syli, you may make an unarmed attack of opportunity as the gnome runs past you, otherwise Korrik is up.))

Turn order:
Korrik
Mehriv / Kal (please decide who would like to act first)
Gwen
Half-orc
Syli

[Nioca]

As the gnome darts past, Syli steps, putting her foot out while shoving herself into the morphing gnome in an attempt to knock it off-balance...

Syli Shove to knock prone... [rolls]
...Accuracy (+1): 6
...Athletics (-1): 9

(nope)
