Poor Cascade really just tripped over here own feet didn't she? XD

@LostDestiny

Receiving divine inspiration can be somewhat tiring at times.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Initiative order is as follows:
Highwaymen: 20
Flicker: 18
Rala: 17
Aura: 15
Attackers: 10
Jørmund: 5
Cascade: 2

The highway men will spend their turn shooting into the trees to suppress the attackers.

@XxFellsingxX
Flicker is up first.

Important Note: Anyone who breaks cover must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d10 damage from the attackers' crossbolts. The DC for the Dexterity save is 15 minus the number of ranged attacks sent into the trees during the round. So after the Highwaymen, the DC is currently at 11.

On the map, which one is the tower?

@Guardian Angel Haruki

The three by three square just before the trees and just after Paxton.

@rush99999 Oh shoot! A fight already?!

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Yup.

---

Just to double check the scenario: Is the scabbard done at the time of the attack? And if so, how long does it take to attune to a magic item?

@Guardian Angel Haruki

The scabbard bracer is done at the time of the attack. And attunement requires a short rest to achieve.

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

The evening continues on in a relatively enjoyable fashion. Food is eaten, drink is drunk, and good times are had by all. As evening turns to night you all head on over to the quieter areas of the campsite to find some beds and get some rest. While Plasm retires straight away, the rest of you gather about a campfire near the edge of the campsite. A quartet of highwayman archers - a pair of human twins named Archer and Bowman, a half-elf called Marcus, and a minotaur known simply as Bull - join you soon after. You and the highwaymen trade stories and sing songs around the fire for a time. Just as you're all starting to think about heading off to bed though, you stop and turn towards a highwayman in a nearby watchtower calling out into the forest he was surveying. "Oi! Who's out there?!"

A reply to the watcher's words came in the form of flaming crossbolts flying out of the trees. Three strike the watcher sending him tumbling off the tower and down to the ground below. The rest strike the tower itself or the wagons behind the tower, setting them ablaze to varying degrees of severity. A few seconds later, another volley of crossbolts sails towards the campfire, forcing you to take cover behind the wagons.

"There's an alarm bell on the top of the watchtower!" Marcus called out. "If someone can get up there and ring it, the whole camp will come running!"

"Hey look!" Archer called out. "Paxton's still moving." Sure enough, anyone who could see the watcher would also be able to see him writhing in pain.

"He's still alive!" Bowman exclaimed. "But that might not be the case for long unless a healer can get to hi-"

"HEADS DOWN!" Bull shouted as another volley of crossbolts flew from the forest. "If you have a bow, start shooting into the trees! If you don't have a bow, head for the tower! We'll cover you!"

Skobeloff

As Shieldwing voiced his objections to Skobeloff's idea, the young Trickster smiled that same smile he always had on his face when he was playing the Long Game. "Don't worry about me." Skobeloff said. "I've got this all figured out." Skobeloff then picked up some of the gem sand and showed it to the others. "This sand's got neat magic in it. I can use it to zip straight to Stargaze when I'm done poking around the stronghold or if something there turns out to be too big for just me."

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

No problem.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Alrighty then. As Cascade is working on this scabbard, she will feel the eyes of Deep Sashelass fall upon her. Cascade will sense his approval of her efforts to bring heroes to the defense of Zephyr and she will sense him channeling a fragment of his divinity into her tools, allowing her to create one instance of the magic item described below.

Scabbard Bracer (Wondrous item, common, requires attunement)

The scabbard bracer fits onto the user's forearm and imparts the following benefits:

• The scabbard bracer can't be removed from the user while they are attuned to it.
• The user can insert a weapon into the scabbard bracer as an action. The bracer can hold only one weapon at a time.
• The user can retract or extend a weapon from the scabbard bracer as a bonus action. While the weapon is extended, the user can use it as if they were holding it, but their hand remains free.

If an attached weapon requires attunement, the user must attune to the weapon before it can be extended. However, the scabbard bracer and the attached weapon count as a single magic item with regard to the number of magic items the user can attune to. If the user removes the weapon from the bracer, their attunement to the weapon ends.
