Kriv

It was always wisdom to listen to the scouts. He adjusted his position and summoned his maul to hand, so that he was in a prime location to react if the west door opened. Offhandedly, he flung yet more fire at the hobgoblins which had loosed their bows at him earlier.

Bonus action call bonded weapon to hand. Expecting attack or sorcery from the west. Firebolt at one of the Hobgoblins to the east that shot earlier.

Chandan hurls his spear at one of the Hobgoblins, but it flies wide. Kriv, on his turn, hurls a bolt of flame at the other Hobgoblin and it hits, felling the creature.

Jaliera, having moved up now has a sight line to the northeast and can see that the area has almost completely crumbled. There are rotting crates and ancient barrels scattered among the rubble. An intact door leads to the east. As she takes in this door, it unexpectedly opens, and more foes come charging out! All three fire their bows at Jaliera, the Goblin then hides among the boxes. While two arrows miss, the sneaky Goblin hits.

Goblin5 Damage to Jaliera and Hide
Zeim rolled d6+2,d20+6 and got 3, 17

(OOC - Goblin's Hide roll is 17. Anyone who has a Passive Perception of 18 or higher can see and attack it. Anyone who uses their action to make an active Perception roll of 18 or higher can also see it but can only use a Bonus Action to do something to it.)

Behind that now open door Jaliera can see a now empty room with another door heading east.

To make matters worse, more Goblins jump out of hiding in the room where Chandan is standing in and take bow shots at the group. One of them flings open the door leading south and with a roaring bellow a giant, mangy beast with the body of a bear and the head of an owl rushes into the room, it's razor sharp claws outstretched.

The Hobgoblin and one of the Goblins fire their bows at Bern, with one hitting, while the Owlbear attacks Chandan. It's claw swipes wide, but it's beak snaps on Chandan's arm and pulls away, taking a bloody chunk of flesh with it.

Behind it, thru the now open door, Chandan can see the upper floors of this tower have collapses, creating a hollow silo at least 30 feet high. Dust, rubble, and broken glass cover the floor and old worktables and bookshelves lie strewn to the south.

Goblin8, Goblin9 Hide
Zeim rolled d20+6,d20+6 and got 24, 8

(OOC - Goblin8 gets no attack as it opened the door for the Owlbear. Both Goblins hide. One has a 24 Stealth and one has an 8. Everyone can see Goblin9, who is trying unsuccessfully to hide behind a bed. For Goblin8 you need a Passive perception of 25 or higher to attack it or use your action to make an Active Perception roll of 25 or higher but then you only have a Bonus action to use on the Goblin.)

The only positive occurrence that happens at this time is the door to the west remains closed. No new enemies appear from that direction.

We are back to the top. Bern, Luminmorn, etc.

Seeing that they have the room better in hand and two new foes appeared out of the door near Jaliera, the dragonborn moved forward. He had already been prepared with his shield and weapon handy. He stumbled as he approached and his weapon swung wide.

Ryssa


Seeing multiple adversaries appear, the largest one badly wounding the elderly monk - and knowing her limited offensive ability - Ryssa moved closer toward Bern and Chandan, exchanging her bow for shield and dagger as she went.

She paused short of the ranger and monk, not wanting to chance confrontation with the owlbear, but wanting to be close enough for healing magic if the opportunity - and need - arose.

(OOC - Ex - The way I interpret what you wrote, converted to 5e terminology is: "I am moving up and preparing a readied action. If anyone is hit badly (say takes damage > 50% of their hp) I will cast a Cure Wounds on them." Does that work for what you wanted?)

Ryssa moves up and readies healing in case it is needed while Davroar rolls the Flaming Sphere into the reaming Hobgoblin in the room. It tries to dodge away from the sphere but is unable to do so and is burnt badly.

Ouch! Those pesky goblins!

She takes aim and waits for a target to appear. Once she has fired her arrow she intends to play them at their own game! Whisper is now instructed to watch the west door behind Jaliera.

Chandan

An owlbear. Chandan had always assumed it was a bear with large eyes, nocturnal perhaps, hence owl bear, owlbear.

But now he knows it's literally a collision of an owl and a bear in a freak accident in a wizard's laboratory.

What the old monk can't tell is whether the monster has been turned to violence by goblin tormentors, or if it was imbued with evil intent by its creator.

A life inflicting misery is a miserable life, however, and Chandan calls upon the elements of the multiverse to scathe it.

"Pummelling Water Whip!!"

Vivid blue glacial water explodes from his fist in a tight jet, like a striking serpent with a hammer in its teeth.

And Chandan follows it with a flying elbow drop.

[Spends 3 ki points. Owlbear must Dex save vs DC 14. On a success, take 10 damage. On a fail, take 20 damage and be knocked prone.
Chandan attacks unarmed, misses.]

Both Jaliera and Kriv take up watchful stands, waiting for the sneaky Goblins to pop up from hiding. Jaliera taking the opportunity herself to hide.

In the meantime, Chandan calls on his spiritual connection to the elemental realms and calls forth a whip made of water that strikes the Owlbear. It's arms flailing trying to regain it's balance, it topples to the floor, prone (Note: All melee attacks on it are w/Advantage and all Ranged attacks on it are at Disadvantage until it stands up.)

Owlbear Dex Save
Zeim rolled d20+1 and got 10


Hobgoblin2, badly burned, turns and runs from the room, thru the curtain in the north and out of sight.

Hobgoblin4 and 5 both attack Luminmorn, but both miss him.

Zeim rolled d20+3,d8+1,2d6,d20+3,d8+1,2d6 and got 6, 2, 10, 17, 8, 6

The three Goblins, 5, 8, and 9 all pop out of hiding to shoot arrows. Goblin5 had intended to fire are Jaliera again, but she has disappeared so instead it fires at Davroar. Goblin8 and 9 both fire at Chandan. Davroar is hit by an arrow and Chandan is missed by one and hit by the other.

Zeim rolled d20+4,d6+2,d20+4,d6+2,d20+4,d6+2 and got 13, 8, 22, 7, 12, 5

OOC - OK, all three of the readied actions can come off now. Jaliera fires at Goblin9, killing it, and Kriv shoots his Bolt of Fire at Goblin 5, killing it as well. Goblin8, having not been a target, hides once more. Note that Jaliera's attack is actually allowed with Advantage as she is hiding, and on a hit it should do +2d6 more damage, but since she killed it with her existing rolls we don't need to re-roll.

Goblin8 Hide
Zeim rolled d20+4 and got 20


We now have two actions that happen before the Owlbear goes:

1 - Ryssa can use her readied action to heal Chandan, as he has taken more than 50% damage. However the Healing spell she uses must be a Ranged spell as she can't move during her reaction and Chandan is 15 feet away. If she doesn't have a ranged healing spell then she loses her readied action and can go on her normal turn.
2 - Davroar, having taken damage, must roll to maintain his Concentration on his Flaming Sphere. Davroar must roll a Constitution Save @ DC10 to keep his spell alive.

Once we resolve those two items the Owlbear will be up.

Seeing the extent of injury inflicted upon the elderly monk, Ryssa concentrated on sending a Healing Word to assuage his wounds.

With the chaos of battle, it's amazing the old monk manages to bat the goblin's arrow away with the edge of his hand. Did he mean to do it? He's not sure himself.

Jaliera

That worked well! She feels a sense of satisfaction as she beats the goblin at its own game. Of course she has no idea that Davroar took an arrow meant for her. That would have changed her view and her action considerably.

She readies another arrow ready for the next target to pop out.

DM - Correct, AJ. The Owlbear goes and then we would be back to Bern. However I forgot about Chandan's ability to deflect missiles. That means he did not take the 7 points of damage from the goblin arrow, and it also means Ryssa's Readied Action for Chandan would not occur as he then would not have passed 50% damage. So I will go for the Owlbear now and if it hits Chandan and pushes him over 50% then Ryssa's spell will remain......

Owlbear Stands back up and then Multiattack on Chandan
Zeim rolled d20+7,d10+5,d20+7,2d8+5 and got 20, 10, 10, 13


....the Owlbear hits once and misses once. So, we remove the 7 points of damage from the goblin arrow, returning Chandan to 11 points of damage. We then add 10 points from the Owlbear beak attack, taking him to 21, and then we remove 8 from Ryssa's healing, so he ends up with 13 points of damage.

Additionally, Davroar maintains his concentration so his spell is still in effect (for 6 more rounds).

Now, we are back to Bern and Luminmorn. Jaliera jumped the gun a bit so we'll hold onto her action until her turn in the order.
