And back I am. Exhausted, certainly, and may need a while for that to wear off, but I'm once more here to read and even write!

Should have been writing posts. Took part in D&D shenaniganry instead. Got to fix that tomorrow.

There's a lot of backlog here on my end. I'm trying my best to lessen it, but replies might be less frequent for a time. A welcome change from the nothing doing I went through though! Thanks partners!

I suppose it is about time for me to copypaste fill in some information about myself over here just as well. Only took me a few years to getting around to do it.
I am a married individual in my twenties from the country some people dare claim does not exist. The Finland conspiracy is an old joke, you can stop with it now. Not a native speaker of the English language by any means, though I did begin studying it exceptionally early for our country's standards. I suppose it was some sort of a test case. With that out of the way though, what more should I be saying here...
I like being nice to people. If one needs to ask why, well that alone is reason enough.
I play and Dungeon Master Dungeons and Dragons, both offline and in the past also over here.
I enjoy OOC chatter, be it planning the RP or a more casual exchange (not that RP'ing is that serious). I can make do without, but don't be afraid to talk to me.
Whatever the case, I'm here to have fun and hone my writing abilities!
I do think that should about cover it, yes.
Thanks for stopping by I suppose! I do also have a Discord account, but I prefer to start anything RP related on the site. At least with people I don't know from the past, that is! But hey, now if you are a longer time contact of mine and happened to read this, now you know and can ask!
@Phoenix The first strike will land, but not kill. I will assume the latter blow goes towards the same man then? As it looks like you wanted to hear the mechanical effects from me before finalising your post, I believe we will wait until you've done so before going further.
Both of the kobolds met a similar fate before the bladed weapons, even if the wild attack from the half-orc had thrown them off balance and the hit connecting was somewhat of a surprise to them. The frail creatures were made to bow before cold steel as the warriors cut down the last remaining kobolds in the room. The Ambush Drake was visibly not happy about this turn of events, but there was not much it could do about it now.
Both of the attacks land, killing their targets.
However, the drake did protest this change of events in the only way it's body understood: Aggression towards the perpetrator. The Drake, now without the aid of the smaller creatures, lashed out at the raging barbarian before it, challenging them into a bout of brute strength. A leap at Orchid's arm was a risky move, but in the end it worked out as the warrior was just a bit too slow to pull back their arm... The drake's jaws closed shut on their mark, teeth piercing the skin and letting out blood.
The drake makes an attack with a roll of 16, just barely landing their strike. As a reward for their successful attempt, they get to deal 5 piercing damage to Orchid.
I'll need to take another 1 day delay for myself. Finland is celebrating it's independence day on 6th and I will be participating in some of it. This also means a certain degree of preparations have to be made. I'll type out an entry as soon as I find the time for it.
The monk's dart flew past his allies, landing on the drake's front leg despite the creatures attempt to step out of the way. The beast was now bleeding from two spots and this could be seen in it's somewhat unsteady posture. However, what it lacked in steadiness, it more than made up in the glare of rage it graced it's adversaries with. It still lived, but probably not for much longer.
The kobold that had the unfortunate opportunity to taste the monk's fist didn't fare quite as well on the endurance's side... a sharp snap beneath the striking fist and a very sharp exhale preceded the creature crashing onto the floor, twitching momentarily before finally laying still. One more of the attackers down.
And just like the earlier attempts at their enemies, Parum's cutting words found the base they were seeking in the human's mind, allowing them to influence the man's future actions. But before the person had a chance to retaliate, the two remaining kobolds were already on the move. The first one behind the drake hopped to it's side before the human and struck diagonally against Orchid, scoring a strike against their rage hardened flesh. While this was going on, a rock flew from the breached door towards the monk, no doubt loosed from the sling if the lone kobold. The shot went pitifully wide, striking the ceiling above.
The human failed their WIS save with a roll of 9. The kobold, gaining advantage from Pack Tactics struck Orchid with a roll of 19 and 7. The attack dealt 4 slashing damage. The final attack by the other kobold was a pitiful 5.
Lastly, the human approached the drake, with the kobold next to it speaking to the latter in draconic: "Thurirl zara. Xihood ti." The drake seemed to accept the kneeling human's touch as white light shone from the man's left hand, as well as something they grasped in their right. The drake's wounds closed themselves just a small amount as it growled defiantly at the heroes before it.
The drake was healed by 6 by the enemy acolyte's Cure Wounds spell.
The words "Thurirl zara. Xihood ti." translate to "Friend behind. Worry not.
@Phoenix It is still within the 3 day timeframe so all is good. More time can be given if needed, but the 3 day limit is something that usually should be followed to keep the combat flowing.
As the warrior slightly on the greener side rushed past the kobold that remained next to the earlier charger, the little creature tried to take a stab at them. Deft kick from the foot pushing the half-orc onwards discouraged the small assailant and they left their feeble attempt at that, now trying to decide whether they should keep their focus on Orchid or try to avenge their fallen brother. Seeing what the newcomer did next had them pick the latter, given what kind of trouble they had already got themselves in to.
The machete did cut the scaly skin of the man sized drake, leaving a quite nasty looking wound on its back, but that didn't seem to slow the creature down. It instead chose to lash back at the opponent that had closed the distance for it and leapt to bite. The earlier distraction provided by the kobold had had the desired effect: The half-orc was now keeping his legs away from the little thing and thus the drake had easier access to their thigh. The attempt, however, was parried with the same blade that had cut the drake earlier. The situation seemed to be developing well for the assaulting party.
The Ambush Drake rolled an advantaged attack roll with rolls of an 8 and a 15, neither of which beat Orchid's AC.
First I mistakenly rolled for an opportunity attack with the kobold, but the room is too small for that. Luckily (or not?) enough, I could reuse the text for the Pack Tactics feature that granted an advantage on the drake's (ultimately failed) attack roll.
