[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.
US Hurls spear at Zhu
Neptune rolled 1d20+4,1d6+2 and got 6, 6

At the start of Davroar and V2's turn they take 13 points necrotic damage.
US Spirit Guardian damage
Neptune rolled 3d8 and got 13


the Wolves get their attacks.

[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)
AJ rolled 1d20+6,1d10,1d10 and got 23, 9, 8
17 points of fire damage that ignores resistance.

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.


B2 Opportunity attack on Zindra -
Zindra's Escape the Horde is offset by Berserker Reckless attack
Neptune rolled 1d20+5,1d12+3 and got 23, 5
Zindra takes 5 points.

Zindra Two bow shots with advantage - Berserker reckless attack
Neptune rolled 1d20+8,1d20+8,1d8+3,1d20+8,1d20+8,1d8+3 and got 12, 24, 4, 19, 17, 5
B2 takes 9 points

It's the Berserkers turn...
B2 attacks Zindra twice with advantage
Neptune rolled 1d20+5,1d20+5,1d12+3,1d20+5,1d20+5,1d12+3 and got 23, 6, 4, 23, 16, 13

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.

B3 attacks V2 and Davroar with advantage
Neptune rolled 1d20+5,1d20+5,1d12+3,1d20+5,1d20+5,1d12+3 and got 25, 20, 13, 19, 21, 10
Crit on the guard. Davroar takes 10 points.

B4 attacks V5 with advantage
Neptune rolled 1d20+5,1d20+5,1d12+3,1d20+5,1d20+5,1d12+3 and got 25, 23, 6, 13, 6, 5
B4 Crit
Neptune rolled 1d12 and got 12
V5 takes 18 points

Pavel goes. Then Zhu

Pavel

Pavel notices a lone barbarian closing on the wagon. He abruptly turns his mount and charges across the field towards the straggler. As he nears he casts the cantrip Mold Earth in front of the Barbarian (B2) creating difficult terrain. He then uses Misty Step (Bonus Action) to transport himself behind the Barbarian.

OOC: I think that is all I can get away with within the rules. Except I believe he has an action surge. If so after Misty Step he would attack)

(OOC - OK, I think Zhu can go as she will be attacking different targets than Pavel

Zhu

Pointing her finger once again another line of fire shoots forth. Again she calls forth her Sorcerous skills and the line of fire splits. One line attacks the Barbarian Shaman (US) and the other branches off to strike at the Barbarian fighting Zindra (B2).

Zhu Firebolt Attack
Zeim rolled d20 and got 18
Total: 18+9 = 27
Zhu Firebolt Damage
Zeim rolled 2d10 and got 12
Total: 12+5 (Elemental Affinity Fire) = 17 each on US and B2

[OOC: B1 then]

Pavel

Once he teleports behind the Barbarian (B1) he will expend 2 Superiority die to complete a Precision Attack and a Disarming Attack on the Babrbarian (B1)

Pavel Attack roll with advantage (+6 to rolls)
Miales rolled 1d20,1d20 and got 11, 8

So 17 for his attack

Pavel Precision attack
Miales rolled 1d8,1d8 and got 2, 4

Most likely just the 2 but in case the Precision attack also was allowed an advantage roll...

Pavel Damage roll/ Disarming attack roll
Miales rolled 1d8,1d8 and got 3, 4

Note it is 1d8+3 for his damage roll

So total of 10 damage.

ooc: a bit confused about Pavel's rolls. I'll try and unravel.
I should have seen two rolls that look like this: 1d20+6,1d20+6,1d8+3
(That's an attack with advantage and the damage if you hit)

But I'm fine with your roll of 17/14. Note either was a hit. No need therefore to expend superiority dice for precision attack. It does nothing. You can add them back to your sheet if you subtracted any for that. And your damage is 1d8+3 so that first attack does 6 points.

You do get a second attack. Just add another 1d20+6,1d20+6 roll.
I'll take that 2nd 1d8 as the damage roll for the 2nd attack (another 7 points if you hit) and you CAN attempt to disarm simply by using your superiority dice. He'll get a strength check, which I already rolled:
B1 Strength check to avoid being disarmed
Neptune rolled 1d20+3 and got 8
So go ahead and use that die.

Just waiting on your second attack roll now ....

As for Zhu's move...

DM
Zhu targets both the shaman and one of the berserkers with his fiery bolts and both strike and both assailants are removed from the battlefield.
