DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Fantasy SKT: The Storm King's Thunder 3Y.A2 - On the way to Olostin's Hold

DM
The wolves kill four of the elks and three of the riders land on their feet and try to spear the wolves as they back off. Two of the elk riders manage to strike their targets but non of the wolves drop. The fourth rider falls to the ground prone.

Deeper in the woods the confrontation between the elk-riders and the wagon guards turns furious. The five guards attack their enemies. Some striking true but none of the barbarians fall in the onslaught.

ooc: Yes Zeim, the 15'r aura around the Shaman should be very clear.

Dugan, I see that you moved the wolves away after they attacked. Surviving Elk would get opportunity attacks but none did. I won't give the elk-riders that opportunity attack if they fail the DC 10 dex save. In that case they fall prone. The riders that do succeed will get opportunity attacks.

Kriv is up and Aubric goes after Kriv.

Kriv

These uncivilized curs were attacking without even a moment's consideration as to if those they struck at were even enemies. Such callous brigandage warranted a response in kind, and the dragonborn rushed to the point of contact, looking to batter elks and a rider.

Aubric

[OOC: As Kriv is not attacking the same target as Aubric would go for, going ahead with my move.]

By the time Aubric is able to react, Zhu has taken care of most of the flanking attackers. Seeing Kriv attacking those on the road and trusting Jaliera and Pavel to join in on the closer threats, he turns his attention to the two remaining mounted warriors flanking the party, his goal to kill both mounts if possible.

He begins by moving his spiritual weapon due north until it is within range of one elk [E6], attacking it.

Aubric Spiritual Weapon (Bonus Action)
AquaDyne rolled 1d20+8,1d8+4 and got 16, 9

It looks like the attack did damage, but the elk still lives, so he uses a cantrip to try to finish it off.

Aubric Toll the Dead (E6 missing HP)
AquaDyne rolled 2d12 and got 11
E6 must make a DC16 Wis Save

He then moves to the southeast to try to put some distance between him and the attackers, while getting closer to the other half of the party and moving closer to the treeline.

DM
Kriv rushes forward and when he reaches the barbarians his presence is announced with a thunderous blast. The one of the blinded elk and the rider of the other are blown away. Aubric whacks an elk with his spiritual weapon and then finishes it off with a dolorous clang. The rider falls with the elk but lands on his feet.

Zindra rises and moves her mark to the barbarian standing over her with a spear. She draws her short sword and thrusts it at him twice. He falls, her horse rises and she leaves it, moves around it and moves away from the wild-eyed berserker that threatens her.

The berserker ignores Zindras horse to follow her and swings his great axe at her. Both he and the elk he is riding strike true and she does not look well at all now. The berserker near the brown bear focuses on it. He swings his great axe and wounds the druid but when his elk tries to gore him, it just misses him. In the woods the berserker near the wagon that ran ahead of everyone battles the wagon driver. He swings his axe with rage and the axe gashes the driver's splint armor.

It's now Pavel's turn with Zhu going right after him

Pavel

Seeing Jaliera's horse go down and the elk riders converging on her, he rides up next to her. Casting Rime's Binding Ice in a 30 ft cone towards the oncoming elks and their riders (OOC: Cone starts from square below Jaliera). Effecting E7,8,9 and TW7,8.

He yells to Jaliera. "Take care of my horse." Then as a bonus action casts Vortex Warp on himself choosing to fail the savings throw and flanks the small pocket of elk riders just beyond the reach of his previous spell leaving his horse with Jaliera.

(OOC - Miales - Vortex Warp is a Full Action Spell, not a Bonus Action, unless you have something like the Sorceror's Meta Magic that lets you cast Full Action spells as Bonus Actions? Normally only a Sorceror can cast 2 spells in a round as the action economy doesn't usually allow it because casting two spells requires one of them to be a Cantrip and all Cantrips are full actions not Bonus Actions.)
