D&D 5e: The Lost Mines of Phandelver

[Rodgeir]

If, when her turn comes around, Aimee isn't in melee range of a goblin she will hex an archer goblin and blast it with Eldritch blast. If no archers are up the closest melee goblin will get it.

Eldritch blast attack, damage+hex damage: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19
1D10+1D6 = [8]+[4] = 12


If she is in melee she will disengage and move behind the wagon.

[SamWiser]

Having taken out the fearsome dragonborn in the beginning of the fight, the Goblins turn to the rest of the group. Unfortunately, their early success isn't mirrored once the party isn't surprised anymore. The first goblin with a bow fires at Calrick again, and misses. One of the goblins with a sword runs up to Balin, but his sword bounces off Balin's shield. Aimee, on the other hand, isn't so lucky, feeling the goblin's sword dig into her leg for 4 damage.

Muttering and yelping about his lack of foresight and preparation, Calrick fishes in his pouch, pulling out a strip of leather that he wraps around his forearm as he calls out.

" गवत कवच ! "

((Casting mage armor on himself.))

If there is a part of the wagon he can duck behind for cover from the archer's he'll do so.

((How far up is Lewis? He has the potential to harry an enemy to distract them using the help action.))

[SamWiser]

The final goblin fires off an arrow at the only target that has thus far remained untargeted. Thankfully, the arrow flies over Saca's head.

Lewis should be about the level of the treetops. I'll say 25 ft. up. Yes, he is eligible to use the Help action if he flies down. [/spoil]

Lewis should be about the level of the treetops. I'll say 25 ft. up. Let me research a little about familiars in combat and actions, and I'll answer the second part soon.

What I'm using as reference.

[SamWiser]

► Show Spoiler

Ah, okay. Yes, Lewis can use the help feature to harry/distract a goblin and give one of you advantage.

[spiderwrangler]

► Show Spoiler

Ok, on his turn, Lewis will fly around the head of the one Balin is facing, then fly off into somewhere in the canopy where he can have some cover from the archers. If he can't reach that one and get to cover with his 60ft fly speed, he'll target one he can, prioritizing not being an easy target.

He also has:
Flyby: The owl doesn't provoke Opportunity Attacks when it flies out of an enemy's reach.

So can divebomb them and dart away without getting beaned.

((would you mind adding an arrow or other marker to the turn list so we know whose turn it is please?))

[SamWiser]

Added.

[thinkslogically]

((thanks ))

"OW!"

Aimee will raise her hand towards the goblin's chest, cast hex on him, and send a blast of force energy into the ground.

Eldritch blast attack, damage+hex damage: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19
1D10+1D6 = [8]+[4] = 12

Eldritch blast disadvantage: 1D20+5 = [2]+5 = 7


((Should have just ran away like I said I would.))

[GathersIngredients]

Saca shoots her crossbow bolt at one of the goblins, the same one as Aimee, if it is still standing, else one of the scimitar wielding ones, then ducks behind the cart to reload.

(I'm assuming her roll is 1 D20 +2 as at the crossbow it says bonus +2, also rolled for damage, in case the shot connects)

Crossbow shot: 1D20+2 = [15]+2 = 17

Crossbow damage: 1D6 = [4] = 4

[spiderwrangler]

(I'm assuming her roll is 1 D20 +2 as at the crossbow it says bonus +2, also rolled for damage, in case the shot connects)

((Yes, crossbow and other ranged weapons use Dexterity. Since your Dexterity modifier is + 0, and you are proficient with it, your total is just to + 2 proficiency bonus. Generally speaking Saca will have more impact (pun intended) with melee or thrown weapons, as those use her strength. Your sheet also had an error, as the light crossbow does a d8 rather than a d6. I edited it on the sheet.)

[Rodgeir]

((My bad! Looks like I had put a hand-axe there originally and then updated everything but the damage dice ))

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Balin takes a swing: Warhammer attack: 1d20+5 = [1] = 6
After such a thorough wind up, he clearly telegraphs his action. His target easily dodges and he nearly spins himself around with the effort of his swing.

[GathersIngredients]

As per the GM's ruling:
Crossbow damage (reroll with correct die): 1D8 = [5] = 5

[SamWiser]

Saca attacks the goblin who attacked Aimee for 5 damage, wounding it severely. Nobody else has quite the same luck, their attacks missing. Lewis is helping by distracting the Goblin attacking Balin, Giving the next person to attack it advantage.

The Goblins fair similarly well. The first goblin with a bow, attacking Saca for 6 damage. The two goblins holding swords look at each other, trying to plan a coordinated attack to bring down both Balin and Aimee, but unfortunately fail miserably as both of their swings miss. Not only do they miss, the one attacking Balin accidentally hits the goblin who just swung at Aimee, who dies from the blow!

"Ha! Back you cretins!"

" आगो बोल्ट ! " , Calrick pops out and shouts the arcane word and flicks his fingers at the goblin that Lewis distracted, a mote of fire flying from his fingers and striking his target. If he was able to duck behind cover last turn, he'll do so again.

Firebolt: Advantage: 2D20.HIGH(1)+5 = [12, 19]+5 = 24
1D10 = [3] = 3 fire damage.

((Lewis will bother whichever goblin he can get a flyby and reach cover after bothering.))

[SamWiser]

The goblin recoils from the flames, but is still standing. Meanwhile, the final goblin with a bow shoots at Calrick again, and again missing.

Aimee will blink at the now dead goblin in front of her then smile, switch her hex to an archer goblin and loose a blast of Eldritch energy.

Eldritch blast attack disadvantage, damage+hex damage: 2D20.LOW(1)+5 = [8, 10]+5 = 13
1D10+1D6 = [8]+[5] = 13


((Don't know if there is still a goblin in melee of Aimee so here is the roll with disadvantage, it's a 13 to hit either way!))

[GathersIngredients]

If the crossbow is loaded already again, Saca shoots another bolt at another goblin (preferably a ranged weapon one and an injured one, if there are any).

Crossbow shot & Damage roll: 1D20+2 = [10]+2 = 12
1D8 = [4] = 4

Else she will get out her shield and warhammer and go towards Kryz as far as she can.

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

Balin closes with the remaining sword carrier.

war hammer: 1D20+5 = [16]+5 = 21

war hammer damage: 1D8+3 = [6]+3 = 9

He gives him a solid rap.

[SamWiser]

Quick update because I'm heading out to Dinner.

The defenders have finally got their act together in combat, as Aimee kills one of the ranged goblins, while Saca wounds the other. Meanwhile, Balin kills the goblin that was bothering him. The last goblin holding a bow looks at the group it is facing, and runs back into the woods as fast as it can.

[spiderwrangler]

Lewis takes off after it, and Calrick hops off the cart and hurries in the direction his bird goes.

((Does Calrick get any visual at all on the fleeing goblin? If so, he'll fling magic missile after it.))

[SamWiser]

Roll for perception for Lewis.

And no, you couldn't see him before he ran away
