D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Guardian Angel Haruki Oh, thank God for that roll with a -1 to my intimidation it could have gone so much hilariously worse

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

When Safira's first lightning charged bolt flew true and found its target, imbedding itself in the bandits' Captain’s body she hoped it would be enough to stall him if not outright stop him dead in his tracks. But no such luck. So determined was he to run away and abandon his compatriot that he redoubled his efforts running past Safira giving her the opportunity to attack again. But in the whirlwind of motion, her aim was off and the bolt flew into the trees somewhere. The blood huntress felt sick to her stomach by the blatant display of disregard for a comrade’s life that she once again raised her crossbow and aimed. Not even the actions of her other chance companions could distract her this time. Not the herd of wild cats rushing the enemy, or the bobbing Owlbear, or the angered Triton who tried to grab for the fleeing head bandit and stop him, but ultimately failing.

This time the huntress' aim was flawless. The bolt, crackling with lightning, flew and found the Captain yet again. But in his frantic running, he shifted in the last moment and the projectile only nicked him. Safira lowered the crossbow. Sighing she looked at Warren who she still held by the neck.

"You know. You're Captain is very determined to run away and leave you here not even knowing, or carrying for that matter, what your fate might be. And what was that about 'taking care of her'? Tell me why were you spying on us and what’s this all about? Because I'm getting tired and bored of making a pin cushion out of your fleeing boss!"

@Guardian Angel Haruki But I still need to roll for intimidation or no? To complete my mechanics hider accordingly.

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Guardian Angel Haruki If I try to intimidate Warren, who Safira is still holding by her side, aiming her lightning charged crossbow at him, would that give me any advantage on the check

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Guardian Angel HarukiTough bastard! I'll get a post up shortly.

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Guardian Angel Haruki Since I believe it's my turn.

If I wanted to shoot at the Cap'n, but let's say aim not to kill... Or is there no mechanic for this in 5e. If so... I'll just shoot'im normally

Rolled for normal attack just in case. I believe a 23 hits.

Big ol' 5 piercing and 2 lightning for 7 total

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Guardian Angel Haruki Well, fudge!

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

Then I shall shoot him again.

I don't think that - 9 hits though :/

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Guardian Angel Haruki Is the Cap'n in melee range with Safira? If that's the case, would it give me a disadvantage on the attack roll?
