[ooc: Neptune I edited previous post to Bite attack ]

DM
The bear knocks one of the barbarians to the ground and off his feet. That provides him with the chance to take a bite of his filthy body. The metallic taste of blood fills Davroar's maw as the bear bites off a chunk of barbarian flesh.

The Uthdardt Shaman urges his elk forward, malign spirits flittering about him, towards the caravan guard and Davroar. Both find themselves enveloped in the shadow of the spirits. Davoar can see that the guard is nearly overwhelmed by the vile spirits. While the elk rushes forward, the barbarian hurls a spear at Zhu but the projectile misses.

The guard near Davroar is surrounded. With little hope of survival, he attacks the berserker. He manages to strike the warrior who had abandoned all defense in his frenzy. But this is a durable foe and remains alive.

The other guards face off against the berserkers and other barbarians. They kill two of the barbarians and draw blood from their other opponents.


ooc: You hit anyway but once on the ground, Davroar had advantage.

[ooc: Nothing in range for the wolves to attack, so they will just use dash for their actions to reposition for next round. ]

Kriv

Skirting around the nearby elk, switching maul for staff again, Kriv uttered a guttural but incendiary word in his native tongue, looking to set the nearest elk rider ablaze.


Free action drop maul, Bonus action weapon bond teleport glassstaff.
Kriv Fire Bolt TW20 (Elemental adept fire, 1s are 2s)

DM
Kriv incinerates the barbarian with his firebolt.
Aubric goes

Aubric

The cleric glanced behind him, to confirm his assumption that they could handle themselves.

Between Sindar available for any healing, and Pavel and Jaliera available to dispatch the remanining warriors, the party-to-warrior ratio was rather favorable

Aubric was needed to the east. The battle in the forest soon, but the immediate need was to his northeast. Zindra was down.

He was slightly out of range but headed that way anyway. He repositioned, heading into the trees while making sure he was in range to revive Zindra and perhaps get a small bit of revenge on the berserker who attacked her.

1. Conundrum moves 60 feet to a point keeping Aubric in healing range of Zindra, and takes Dodge action. (Mount Move/Action)

2. Aubric casts Healing Word on Zindra. (Bonus Action, level 1)

Aubric Healing Word
AquaDyne rolled 1d4+7 and got 10

Disciple of Life - Zindra gets 3 extra HP
Blessed Healer - Aubric gets 3 HP

3. Aubric casts Toll the Dead against Zindra's assailant (B2). (Action, cantrip, target does not have full HP.)

Aubric Toll the Dead
AquaDyne rolled 2d12 and got 13
B2 needs DC16 WIS save

4. Conundrum has moved into the edge of the forest, with a few trees, but Aubric goes a step further, dismounting on the side of the horse away from the spear-throwing barbarian. While not trying to actually hide, he hopes the combination of trees and horse keeps him a less obvious target long enough to heal others when needed. (Movement, cover?)

(OOC: Aubric has Mask of the Wild which RAW only applies to the Hide action. Aubric is not hiding, but his player is hoping the DM will at least consider the trait and offer half- or three-quarter- cover for the combination of horse and trees for some sort of benefit of blending into the foliage.)

ooc: Certainly Mask of the Wild would apply but It won't provide cover, only the ability to hide. However, having moved into the tree line, I'll let you move behind a tree to gain cover. So accomplished, without bending any rules

B2 Wisdom Save
Neptune rolled 1d20 and got 14
He takes 13 damage.

Zindra is now up.

Zindra
Suddenly her eyes open. She had suffered wounds that knocked her out but she's a bit better now, but on the ground, next to her horse, With the wild-eyed berserker standing over her. She rolls out of the way and fires two arrow shots at him. As she rolls away, the barbarian's great axe slices into her again but she's able to move away and fire her arrows, both of which hit the berserker but he dismounts and races after her, bloodlust overtaking him. He swings his axe and strikes left and right at Zindra. Both swings hit and Zindra falls once again.

DM
The berserker that was trying to get out of the icy terrain left by Zhu's storm of ice, has nearly made it towards Sindar and the wagon. His eyes are crazed but he hasn't had the chance to attack.

The berserker near Davroar and one of the severely wounded wagon guards lops off the head of the guard and his second swing gashed the bear across the belly.

Near the toppled wagon, the berserker slams his great axe into the guard but his second swing misses.
