Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

After quickly quaffing the potion you take a swing at Venomfang, however he raises his sword and intercepts the attack. You notice however that your tonfa was not touching his blade; it was floating a few inches over his blade, as if there was some sort of force field helping him block your attack. He opens his mouth and spews forth a spray of poison right into your face, however you were able to avoid getting any on your face or in your eyes or mouth, though he did manage to push you away just a bit. The other trog fighting Pylia continued to struggle against her and the blinding light, though she took a nasty stab in her ribs. But suddenly the body seized up and fell over dead, with one of Shortfang's crossbow bolts embedded into the troglodyte's back.

Popping the last goodberry into his maw, Buddy rushed Venomfang, knocking him to the ground with full body shoulder tackle. Knocked to the ground Pylia leapt right at him, bringing her club towards his head however her blow seemed to deflect off the air due to Venomfang's force field. "He's almost down, let's finish him off before he tries to escape!"

Yup that's fine,

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Though blinded by the sunlight, Venomfang could see you charge right at him and attack. He raised his sword up to block your blow, however due to the light he misjudges your range, giving you more than enough time to redirect your attack and strike him in an opening. Your strike caused Venomfang to grunt in pain however he wasn't about to go down so easily. He growled something that sounded hostile before pointing his hand right into your face, blasting you and Pylia with a huge cone of fire. It was so hot that the air around the flames were scalding, even as you narrowly dodged the point-blank fire blast. Pylia had quickly raised her shield to block as much of the flames as possible but even she was feeling the burn.

One of the trogs who you dashed pass went to chase you, however the other stayed behind to finish off Buddy. Fortunately thanks to being blinded by the sunlight, the trog could hardly hit any sensitive spot on Buddy and his attacks were either blocked or bounced off his armor. He especially didn't see Shortfang shoot a crossbow that landed right into his thigh, causing the trog to screech in pain. It was at that very moment that Syfr also flew onto the scene, going straight after that same troglodyte and flying right into the trog's face. This gave Buddy the opportunity to finish him off, cleaving the troglodyte in half with a single slash of his axe, the light reflecting off the blade as if it was some sort of holy sword as it chopped the warrior in half. Shortly after, Buddy took out one of the healing potions he was given, tossing it whole down his "mouth" as he restored some energy into his glowing core.

The other trog went after you, his attacks largely missing as well, however by mostly luck his last flurry managed to get you right in the ribcage. Pylia saw this and turned towards the trog, enraged. "Shove off! I'll take this one on!" Pylia shouted as she smashed her warclub right into the squinting face of the trog, shattering teeth and rupturing one of it's eyes as she shouted her battle cries.

Oh, but give me a Dex Save please.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

That's fine. That ought to free up your bonus action to try and smack Venomfang again or something.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Good to know. Also, just so you know the two trogs who are within melee of you already wasted their reaction to try (and fail) to attack Pylia, so you don't need to use step of the wind to avoid their AoP (They already used it). Either way I'll have a post up soon.

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Also something that's kinda been concerning me: how do you feel about Sylvia sorta being given the leadership role of the group? I know that technically someone like Pylia would be more knowledgeable about this world, or even Shortfang who is a decent combat tactician. They differ to you IC a lot mainly because I know that since I'm controlling pretty much everyone except you, and while they do have their own lives, personalities, and opinions on their own, I don't want to make you feel like I'm dragging you through my story. Things are kinda linear right now but I assure you, this RP is entirely sandbox. Some quests might be time sensitive but usually that's only once things have started. Fexample you could visit the kobolds at any time and they'd still be struggling but alive against the trogs, but obviously if you had decided to spend today to go do something else well things would not end well for the kobolds.

Yeah, the second last post I didn't make with hyperlinks because it was done Mobile, but my last one was on a laptop. I try to put up links just so you can see the rolls and know I'm not fudging anything. Though I'll admit I often forget turn orders and some things don't happen in the order in which I roll due enemies dying or your allies taking advantage or needing to react to certain stuff.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

The party moved onto the new area, this one without much aside from a dead kobold and the strange dragon statue. Right, this place was a cult for Tiamat. Orchid briefly had forgotten about that. Parum warned against investigating the chest out of fear for traps, and Orchid believed she was right. Kyra was looking around for something, which allowed Orchid to look further towards what he would presume to be where the nest are. Part of him wanted to just go in there and finish this, however he also knew that it was never so simple. The kobolds are a cowardly lot, and it wouldn't surprise him if there were more hiding here, along with any other threat that might've been left behind to guard those eggs.

Fact of the matter is, Orchid wasn't sure if he was up for another battle, in his current state. He needed some rest, even though they're still deep in enemy territory. Wiping some blood off his chest Orchid looked to the others and spoke quietly. "We rest? Orchid tired. Hurt... Even kobold could kill Orchid, with numbers." It was a risky venture considering that if there are others here, they may very well attack them while they're resting. They'll need to hide somehow, or at the very least prepare to ambush them when they come to find them. But there wasn't exactly much cover in here. "If no rest, we go. One more fight."
