Here is a Big Mac for your efforts

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 20:06

Okay, everyone move your tokens to where you want to start. I just put you down at the bottom but you can be wherever

AncientSwordRage

scrambles to load sheets

bobble

Is there a desk in the room?

Also which direction did the sounds come from?

Sciborg

The room you're currently in has a couch, a lamp, and some assorted small furnishings.

The sounds came from the front door which is the little door icon on the left wall.

AncientSwordRage

Ahhhh

Sciborg

Down that hallway, the north door leads into Coulter's office, the south door is the playroom, and the far east door is Robert's office that you were in earlier.

AncientSwordRage

Nov 4, 2021 20:09

Are we on N at the top of the screen?

Sciborg

N?

AncientSwordRage

North (not the person/tree)

Sciborg

You're all currently in the main room, the icons are you. But if you wanted to quick run into the hallway or position yourself somewhere else before combat you can

Mithical

Fin is coming from the shower (:

AncientSwordRage

Ahh, I assumed Fin had just come out of the wash room

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 20:10

Teri has her hands in her jacket pockets, fingers touching a knife. Her eyes dart up and down, then do a sweep to check everyone

Sciborg

I didn't picture the washroom on the map but it's connected to the south side of the main room, so presumably Fin popped out of there

AncientSwordRage

Still slightly dripping, Fin pushes wet hair out of her face and keeps her eyes trained on the front door

(is where I put Fin right?)

Mithical

Sherri has her handgun out, pointed at the door, hand slightly shaking.

Sciborg

Robert puts an arm over Coulter and moves him back slightly. The pounding sounds on the front door begin to get louder. "They're about to break through," he says. "Positions, everyone."

AncientSwordRage

Fin shuffles awkwardly

Mithical

Nov 4, 2021 20:14

....Deep breaths, deep breaths...

Sciborg

With a deafening CRASH, the front door is blasted off its hinges.

bobble

where does it go to?

Sciborg

It goes flying and smacks against the far right wall, almost hitting Fin.

Two figures, both in armor, push inside.

Teri, you are up first in initiative.

bobble

Do I count as hidden?

Sciborg

Were you Stealthing/behind cover before the door broke?

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 20:17

Also, are they like completely covered in armor? Faces or limbs visible?

Teri was standing very still along the wall

Sciborg

The first figure is a hulking, half-dragon-like creature carrying a huge greataxe. The other is a long, slender tabaxi with two knives and a swishing tail, clad in light chain.

"Whadda we have here?" the tabaxi hisses, flicking its knives as it surveys the room. "Buncha little whelps!"

bobble

Teri's gonna stab the Tabaxi and bobble's gonna try to claim Sneak Attack

'cause that was annoying

Sciborg

The conditions are to either have advantage on the roll or have an ally within 5 feet of the enemy. I'd allow you to retroactively roll Stealth to get advantage if you want since there was time before they broke in.

(Wasn't trying to ruin your Sneak by doing it that way, it was more for the Drama)

bobble

uh welp. natural 1

Mithical

...ouch

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 20:21

The Sneak Attack fails, but you can still stabby stab as normal.

bobble

5+5 for the attack roll (wow dice)

Sciborg

That will miss, but the tabaxi seems startled and was definitely not expecting an immediate stab attempt. "Wha -"

AncientSwordRage

(wife is home)

bobble

Can I move after that or is that turn over?

Sciborg

You still have full movement left, so if you wanted to dive behind cover or do other stuff you've got time.

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 20:23

I used 5ft to get to the tabaxi, actually

Sciborg

*almost full

I'll say the tabaxi is too surprised to Opportunity Attack.

bobble

But if I can move then Teri will duck around the door and lay flat against the other wall side, breathing hard and inwardly cursing at having done such a stupid thing. I would move my icon but there isn't room

Sciborg

The tabaxi swishes their tail menacingly. "Ssssso, the kittens want to fight."

End of Teri's turn?

bobble

okay I squished my icon to fit. Yup, turn end.

Sciborg

We move to Sherri

(And Teri now has full cover)

Mithical

Nov 4, 2021 20:28

Sherri takes a step back. "What the hell are- what are- cat- AAAHHHH!" And, instead of shooting the gun, will cast Ray of Frost on the dragon-like thing.

Sciborg

Ranged spell attack, go for it

Mithical

11+5 to hit

Sciborg

Hit

Mithical

5 damage from the d8, and the target is slowed by 10 feet

Sherri is going to move into the corner.

And that completes Sherri's turn.

Sciborg

The scales on the dragon creature's kneecaps freeze over, and they stumble, looking completely astonished. "Gah!"

"Get away from my family!" Robert bellows, and fires his gun at the tabaxi with a deafening crack. The bullet pegs the tabaxi squarely in the shoulder and the cat stumbles, clutching the arm and hissing violently like a wildcat.

"You want to play, kittens?" the cat hisses, and moves to attack Fin with the good arm.

15 and 4 to hit Fin.

AncientSwordRage

Nov 4, 2021 20:34

(is that 15 damage?)

Sciborg

(Attack rolls to beat your AC.)

AncientSwordRage

15 hits, 4 does not (13 AC)

Sciborg

One of the cat's knives grazes for 4 slashing damage.

AncientSwordRage

(damage noted on Fin's sheet)

Sciborg

The dragon creature looks around angrily, trying to figure out where Teri has gone and apparently having very poor object permanence. "WHERE IS ANGRY LITTLE STINGER! ME FIND!"

With a roar they swing the axe at the wall Teri is hiding behind.

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 20:37

Does that hit anything but wall?

Sciborg

It collides and the brickwork crackles dangerously, but the wall holds.

"WHERE THEY GO, KHA! ME FIND!" the dragon complains loudly.

bobble

Teri rapidly opens and closes her eyes, trying to get the panic out without too much noise

Sciborg

"Forget the little one, you scaly dunderhead, we're here for the High Relic!" Kha hisses angrily.

It's now Fin's turn.

Mithical

"Oh, God, the thickheadedness is almost as scary as the axe," Sherri mutters to herself, still kinda shellshocked and just having random things processing.

AncientSwordRage

Recoiling from the Tabaxi's vicious attack, Fin steps back trying not trip over the lamp ~~(disengage action?)~~

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 20:41

You Disengage successfully. The tabaxi's fangs glitter. "You are covered in its signature. You. Where is it?"

AncientSwordRage

(do I have enough action left to cast a spell?)

bobble

Can I roll something to recognize what "High Relic" means?

Sciborg

(You have taken your Action, so you have a Bonus Action, a Move Action, and any amount of free actions remaining.)

@bobble (Absolutely yes)

AncientSwordRage

(Ahh.... oops)

bobble

Arcana or History or something else?

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 20:42

If you have any Bonus Action spells, you can use those

@bobble Either one of those works.

bobble

Imma open a new rolling tab because that last one sucked

11+6=17

AncientSwordRage

(I was remembering a different edition rules, do you mind if Fin doesn't use disengage and just steps back and triggers AoO?)

Sciborg

@bobble The name "High Relic" does not ring any bells, although the name seems to suggest a very powerful magical object.

@AncientSwordRage (For sure, we can retcon that)

(Disengage in 5e is a full action so it can be confusing)

bobble

@Sciborg I get a free one each round :)

Sciborg

(Cunning action for the win :D)

AncientSwordRage

Nov 4, 2021 20:46

@Sciborg (I'm ready to take the hit)

Sciborg

Fin steps back, and the tabaxi swipes with its offhand knife. The attack misses and slices open the lampshade instead.

"The signature is here. It must be you." the tabaxi insists. "Where is the Claw?"

bobble

Fin gets to see the inside of a lampshade :o

AncientSwordRage

Screaming psychically at the Tabaxi to "LEAVE!" Fin casts Cause Fear on it

Mithical

Sherri's thoughts: aaaaahhhhhhhh

That is all.

Sciborg

The tabaxi makes a Wisdom save, right?

AncientSwordRage

Nov 4, 2021 20:48

@Sciborg yup DC 13 to resist

Sciborg

(Nat 20 ;-;)

AncientSwordRage

@Sciborg (DRAMA)

Sciborg

The tabaxi's hair stands on end like a frightened cat, and it shivers violently, but seems to recover. "What... what fell magic is that!"

AncientSwordRage

Fin backs up against the wall and moves as far away as she can

bumping up towards Robert

Sciborg

"That one is a... a shuvok! Warlock! Witch!" The tabaxi bares teeth threateningly. "Ha! So it will be a real fight!"

AncientSwordRage

Nov 4, 2021 20:51

(Fin's turn is fin)

Sciborg

"Teri," calls Coulter, very softly. "Would you be so kind as to duck?"

bobble

ducks

Sciborg

Coulter flings forth a hand, his wedding ring glowing a violent yellow, and utters a sharp exclamation. An explosion of fire bursts in the center of the room, scorching the carpets and bodily throwing the dragon-creature back against the wall as both of them take fire damage. The tabaxi shrieks loudly. The fire licking the walls narrowly misses Teri, who ducked just in time.

"We'll have to replace the carpets again, I'm terribly sorry," he says calmly to Robert, who whistles.

bobble

wait did it go outside the walls?

Sciborg

(Just barely, you're fine.)

It is now Teri's turn.

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 20:57

Teri will first poke her head around the corner to look around

Sciborg

The dragon-creature picks itself off the ground, coughing on soot. "BAD FIRE! STUPID WIZARD!" The tabaxi's fur is smoking gently and it looks like it has just bitten down on a Christmas tree wire. Both of them look badly burned but not yet bloodied.

bobble

How does Fin look?

AncientSwordRage

@bobble she's shaken but otherwise looks ok

(give me 2 min, will respond to anything after)

bobble

How tall is the dragon?

Sciborg

About six feet.

What's your Passive Perception, by the by?

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 21:02

13

Sciborg

You notice that even though the carpets will definitely need replacing, the polka-dot umbrella in the southwest corner of the room that Robert joked about earlier seems perfectly unharmed, despite everything around it having been scorched by the blast radius.

bobble

Teri briefly considers running for safety but is now intrigued (as the DM planned) and runs in towards the umbrella, stabbing the dragon as she goes past. (30ft speed, how far do I get if I attack & use Cunning Action to dash?)

Also, do I get Sneak Attack?

Sciborg

Ooh, hang on. I have to look up Dash action a sec

With your bonus action Dash, you can move up to double your speed, so I think that means you can move 60 feet total with that move?

Going around the corner and to the umbrella will be 4 squares of movement, so 20 feet.

Actually wait, 6, since you have to go around dragon

So 30 feet to get to the umbrella total

What do you roll for attack on the way?

bobble

Teri goes stab stab with Sneak Attack (?) right as she emerges around the door and then continues her way around. An errant "Hi" slips out, the instinctive meet-new-person reaction drilled into her. 11+5 to attack

Sciborg

You do indeed get Sneak Attack now because dragon has no object permanence and forgot you existed :p and that will be a hit.

The little "Hi" is adorable

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 21:09

8+4+3, let's gooooo

Sciborg

You score a full-force stab right in the chest as you dart past to snatch the umbrella. The dragon roars in surprise. "OWWW!! LITTLE SNEAKY STINGY GOT ME!"

bobble

I would've just zeroed me out

Mithical

(Just pointing out that Teri could take Sherri out with one hit. That's more damage in one strike than Sherri's full hitpoints.)

Sciborg

The dragon plops to one knee, seemingly in great pain. "OWW."

bobble

avoids eye contact while going for umbrella

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 21:12

The umbrella seems normal when you pick it up, but there's something off about it that you can't put your finger on. It weighs a little more than you'd expect.

The dragon flops onto the ground, still complaining loudly. "OWWWW..."

"Oh, budge up and get back on your feet, you big brute!" growls Kha.

bobble

Occupied looking at the umbrella, Teri doesn't have the right mind to prevent a "Do you need assista-?" from slipping out

Sciborg

"YES PLEASE - NO WAIT YOU ARE BAD SNEAKY STINGY, NEVER MIND."

Mithical

"The heck?" Sherri mutters, not entirely sure that she correctly heard Teri offer assistance to a weird creature that she just stabbed.

bobble

17+4 to Arcana the umbrella

Sciborg

You discern at last that this strange polka-dot umbrella is in fact a parasol of the prowler. When you open the umbrella and hold it over yourself, you disappear completely as if affected by the invisibility spell. If you attack, cast a spell or are hit by a spell/attack, the effect ends and the umbrella must recharge after 8 hours. It got its name from being very popular with rogues and ne'er-do-wells.

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 21:18

Do I have actions enough left to open it?

Sciborg

Opening the umbrella is a bonus action, so yes.

bobble

pops umbrella open

off-topic - are there any notable smells right now?

Sciborg

You instantly disappear. It's a sensation like being wrapped up in a thick blanket, but you can still see. The dragon, still stricken, swivels its head. "WHERE YOU GO??"

bobble

2

Turn over

Sciborg

@bobble The only notable smells in the air right now are soot from the fireball, old building smell, and scorched kitty-cat.

It's now Sherri's turn, and Teri seems to have completely vanished.

Mithical

Nov 4, 2021 21:22

(And the faint smell of some unidentifiable floral scent coming from Sherri (: )

bobble

(is sorry for taking 25 minutes)

Sciborg

"Enough of this," the tabaxi complains. "We did not come here to be toyed with! Where is the High Relic?"

AncientSwordRage

@bobble (is that normal for D&D?)

Mithical

Sherri blinks. She's not entirely sure if she's hallucinating or not, at this point - she somehow seems to have shot some monstrous dragon-like entity with ice, Teri has vanished, and is she really fighting a giant cat?

bobble

text-based games will be slower by nature, but I've taken longer than anyone else both times

AncientSwordRage

Nov 4, 2021 21:23

@Sciborg Fin stares back unflinchingly

Sciborg

(You're fine, bobble - once in a while people have more complicated turns so it naturally takes a bit longer. No worries)

(Positioning and etc. are very important details for rogues)

Mithical

However, finding herself not being sure how to replicate that ice feat, Sherri steps forward to be in line of sight with the tabaxi and, with a slightly unsteady hand, squeezes her trigger.

...and that is a 2+4. :)

Sciborg

The bullet hits the wall behind the tabaxi, a miss. The tabaxi puts back its ears, like an angry lynx. "You think to use such weapons on me?"

Mithical

"I could just light you on fire instead, if that works for you," Sherri bluffs in response.

Sciborg

The tabaxi sneers. "I'd like to see you try."

Mithical

Nov 4, 2021 21:26

[dangit, Prestidigitation takes a full action :(]

Sciborg

(any bonus action spells? ;-;)

Mithical

mmm, no, looks like that's it

Sciborg

(any... particular wild powers that simmer up in you or anything like that?)

Mithical

?

Sciborg

(given that this is all very shocking and that would probably be a trigger for a certain random sorcery power you have)

Mithical

Nov 4, 2021 21:28

oh, you want me to roll on the table?

I'd be more than happy to

Sciborg

ovo

i've been DYING to have you roll on the table okay

Mithical

lesse, that's a 94

> 94 Every ATM within 120 feet of you malfunctions, and dispenses free $100 bills to the next 10 users who use it.

bobble

Is there an ATM at the agency?

Sciborg

You feel a weird shiver, as if you've affected spacetime somehow or as if something has shifted within you. Oddly there are now very distant sounds from outside that sound like people whooping and cheering excitedly.

Mithical

A shiver runs down Sherri's body, as if that ice spell is taking revenge.

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 21:31

The tabaxi's ears twitch, seemingly unnerved. "Something hassss happened... peculiar..."

The lights in the building flicker slightly. Whatever you just did, it seems that the area around you is feeling ripple effects.

End of turn presumably?

Mithical

yeah sorry, was handling something

That's the end of Sherri's turn, yep.

Sciborg

Robert reloads his gun as a bonus action, backing towards the playroom door. "Still not leaving? Want some more, do you?"

He unlocks the playroom door and then moves back to stand by Fin, protectively, and Readies an action.

The tabaxi wipes its mouth. "Tricky, tricky. Let's see how tough you are, little sorceror."

It advances, feints left and attacks Sherri.

That will be 16 and 9 to hit.

Mithical

16 hits, 9 does not

Sciborg

The tip of a knife scratches you for 3 damage.

Mithical

marks down

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 21:39

The dragon smacks its axe on the ground, looking very dizzy and disoriented but still in the fight. "OKAY. WE FIGHT NOW."

Mithical

[sorry, suddenly had to take care of mod-stuff... I'll be a little busy for the next couple minutes]

Sciborg

(no worries)

With a loud bellow, the dragon charges at Fin and Coulter headlong, and swings the axe for both of you.

17 to hit Fin.

AncientSwordRage

It's a hit (AC 13)

Sciborg

Can you make a Dex save for me?

AncientSwordRage

(2+2 = 4)

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 21:42

ouch

Sciborg

oh dear

AncientSwordRage

Fin has no time to react as the axe swings in...

Sciborg

You're gonna take 8 slashing and be knocked prone on the ground, which means you have disadvantage on Attack rolls while down. You'll have to spend half your movement to get up next turn. Coulter is hit too and is flung to the ground beside you.

The dragon laughs. "GOT YOU!"

AncientSwordRage

Landing with loud thump, the dwarf sprawls on the floor

Sciborg

"No!" Robert shouts, terrified. "Hon! Fin!"

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 21:45

(I just realized I hadn't been keeping track of my bag... let's say Teri dropped it right outside the doorway, assuming that's still inside?)

Sciborg

It is Fin's turn, are you conscious after the hit?

AncientSwordRage

To tough to be put down by the axe swing, without getting up, Fin locks eyes with the dragon, a wild look in her eye

@Sciborg (who? Fin? She's made of tough stuff than that)

Sciborg

The dragon rumbles a laugh. "I KNOCK YOU DOWN. WHAT YOU GONNA DO?"

AncientSwordRage

First swearing in Dwarvish, and then her mouth opening and closing like she's singing, Fin casts Dissonant Whispers at the dragon

(DC 13 wisdom save)

Sciborg

(oooooooh)

(12 to save)

(WHISPER 'IM)

2

Mithical

Nov 4, 2021 21:51

:O

AncientSwordRage

3d6 = 2 + 2 + 5 = 9

Sciborg

The dragon stiffens, eyes going huge. Then it staggers back, beating on its own skull and roaring, "BAD THOUGHTS! BAD THOUGHTS! NO NO STOP YELLING GRANDMA!"

AncientSwordRage

> On a failed save, ... and must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move as far as its speed allows away from you. The creature doesn’t move into obviously dangerous ground, such as a fire or a pit.

(damage done)

Sciborg

The dragon stumbles violently back once or twice. Then, all at once, its face goes stone, frozen in an expression of utter horror. It slumps to the ground, greataxe clattering beside it, dead as a doornail.

"Nirlbogg!" snarls the tabaxi. "Oh, you shall pay for that!"

Mithical

"Holy [redacted] [unprintable] [censored]."

AncientSwordRage

Nov 4, 2021 21:54

"Oh crumbs... I... I..."

bobble

standing stock-still

AncientSwordRage

(end of turn?)

Sciborg

(presumably)

AncientSwordRage

(cool go ahead)

Sciborg

Coulter struggles to his feet, clutching his stomach, and takes a step away from the frozen dragon, looking petrified; his earlier confidence seems to have left him. "Oh... oh dear."

Mithical

Nov 4, 2021 21:56

[oh, the Frost spell ended at the beginning of my last turn]

Sciborg

(👍)

He backs away a few paces, and his eyes go distant as he weaves a new spell in the air, ring glowing brightly again. Suddenly there is a second - then a third and a fourth perfect replica of Coulter, ever-so-slightly ghostly and ethereal, that move with him confusingly as he steps back away from the fray and in front of Robert. "Robert, dear, you unlocked the door, didn't you?"

"Why, yes, I did," says Robert.

The door to the playroom suddenly bursts open with a loud thwack.

A huge, dark-furred wolf with glowing eyes lopes out, twice the size of a normal creature. It prowls slowly down the hallway, heading your way.

Shae calls distantly from inside the playroom: "Get 'em, Lupo!"

(Teri's turn.)

bobble

How's the tabaxi looking?

Sciborg

The tabaxi's fur is still standing on end, and it is breathing heavily - definitely not doing well, but still upright. "You are... persistent, aren't you?"

bobble

I lose invisibility if I "attack" - is that just melee, or melee and ranged?

AncientSwordRage

Fin trembles as she hears the giant wolf's breath so close by

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 22:03

Anything that qualifies as the Attack action.

Lupo growls. Somehow its appearance looks oddly familiar.

bobble

Teri will opt for running to Fin and asking if she's okay (unless that breaks invisibility?)

Sciborg

(Movement doesn't break it, you're good.)

bobble

I was worried about the talking

Sciborg

Talking doesn't either, it's a free action.

bobble

A voice comes from the air at Teri's height: "hey, do you need assistance?"

I'll assume I can get there with movement and/or Cunning Action dashing

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 22:07

(👍)

bobble

@AncientSwordRage?

AncientSwordRage

@bobble "Já...?"

bobble

Can I share the umbrella?

AncientSwordRage

Fin looks around incredulously, the voice even loftier than normal from her prone position

Sciborg

Only one way to find out.

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 22:10

Teri squishes closer to Fin and moves the umbrella to be over both their heads

Sciborg

To the outside observer, both of you vanish. It's a little fuzzy on the edges this time, so a perceptive creature could pick it out, but most would just think it was a trick of the light.

The tabaxi's eyes narrow. "What trickery is afoot..."

bobble

Any obvious wounds to bind for Fin?

Sciborg

Assuming you're requesting a Medicine check?

AncientSwordRage

Fin squeaks in shock at the combination of fuzzy feeling from the magic, and suddenly seeing Ter

bobble

I guess? and nat 20???

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 22:14

o-o

bobble

new tab is good tab

Sciborg

You know that scene in X-Men when Quicksilver is going through the house doing things super-fast and rescuing people as the house explodes?

bobble

yah

Sciborg

You do that, but with bandages.

bobble

Where did I get bandages from?

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 22:16

I dunno, but you rolled a nat 20, so they probably just materialize.

Mithical

bwahaha

AncientSwordRage

(hahahahaha)

bobble

We'll go with that.

Sciborg

If any medical school was watching you, you would be hired on the spot.

bobble

"Better?"

AncientSwordRage

Nov 4, 2021 22:18

"Ja..." Fin lies there still utterly confused

Sciborg

(That also uses up your Bonus Action, you still have an Action left.)

bobble

If I leave the umbrella to Fin, and then attack, does the umbrella stop working?

Sciborg

The rule only applies to whoever is holding the umbrella/benefiting from its effect, so if you gave it to Fin and switched the effect over and then attacked, Fin would remain invisible.

bobble

okie Teri will sneaky stabby tabaxi

are we good on movement?

Sciborg

I think so. By becoming un-invisible and then moving and then attacking you have lost sneaky advantage, since you're emerging within line of sight. But regular attack still applies.

bobble

Nov 4, 2021 22:22

kay. 7+5 for attack roll

Sciborg

That barely misses

bobble

whoopsies

Sciborg

The tabaxi weaves away nimbly. "Too slow!"

bobble

turn over

Sciborg

(How are we doing on time before we move to Sherri? Are we nearing the end of awakeness?)

Mithical

Nov 4, 2021 22:24

Is Sherri within melee range of the tabaxi?

Sciborg

Yes

bobble

We started an hour earlier for Mith & ferret

Mithical

@Sciborg we're good, it's still a half hour until 1:00 and I'm keeping an eye on some stuff anyway

Sciborg

(Sounds good, just making sure)

Mithical

Then Sherri's going to take a quick swing with her knife at the tabaxi.

15+4

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 22:25

Definite hit

Mithical

4+2 slashing damage

Sciborg

You clip off a chunk of fur from the tabaxi's left ear, and it falls back, snarling. "Tricksy magicianssss! They said you were weak!"

Mithical

She's then going to grab her head as if struck by a sudden migraine and then vanish from sight, as I rolled a 45 on the Wild Magic table.

Sciborg

The cat is looking very rough now.

@Mithical OH

Mithical

:)

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 22:28

The tabaxi seems infuriated by the fact that not only are multiple combatants now invisible, but Coulter's doubles are moving confusingly and throwing off its focus. "I'll take at leasssst one of you with me! Fiends!"

Mithical

Sherri attempts to respond "Good luck with that!", but no sound comes out.

Sciborg

"Sherri!" calls Robert. "Stay against the wall!"

Mithical

She flattens herself against the wall, expecting another fireball

Sciborg

(end of Sherri's turn?)

Mithical

Sherri's going to also take a step back, away from the tabaxi

does attack of opportunity apply since she's invisible?

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 22:31

(ooh, that's a good question... let me check the opportunity attack rules)

(specifies "Hostile creature you can see" so you don't trigger it, nope)

Mithical

cool cool, so that's the end of Sherri's turn

Sciborg

Robert sidesteps through the gap between Coulter and the invisible Fin, bumping against Fin accidentally since he can't see her ("oops, sorry Fin" he whispers) and aims his gun at the tabaxi. "I don't need Lupo to finish you off, cat. He's just here to clean up the mess."

He shoots, but the shot goes wild and hits the couch instead, creating a puff of feathers. The cat laughs. "Ha, ha!"

AncientSwordRage

(how many HP does the couch lose...?)

Sciborg

(10 HP and it's stunned for a round)

The tabaxi, unable to see but bluffing that he can, throws a knife blindly at the last spot Sherri was standing in. "Let me see if I can skewer the sorceror as an appetizer."

The knife misses, since Sherri moved from that spot, and sticks in the wall. The tabaxi scowls angrily. "Hsssss."

Mithical

"Appetizer, eh?" Sherri tries to mutter, but once again finding that no sound comes out.

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 22:37

It's now Fin's turn. You are holding the umbrella and invisible.

Lupo growls from behind you, huffing out a warm breath. It's clearly trying to figure out how to get in between everybody blocking its way.

AncientSwordRage

As the breath passes over Fin she shudders and moves well out of the way, still clutching the strange umbrella

Not sure what else to do, Fin looks at her bag, then her hands and points at the tabaxi, whispering "Just let me do something useful...", casting Eldritch Blast

Sciborg

(:D)

AncientSwordRage

12+5 to hit?

bobble

At what point does she become visible?

Sciborg

Hit

And your invisibility is now gone

AncientSwordRage

@Sciborg 4 damage

Sciborg

(What does your blast look like?)

AncientSwordRage

As the invisibility fades, Fin stands there dumbly wondering what happened her hand outstretched point, red and black lightning that looks wrong streaks towards the tabaxi

Sciborg

It strikes the tabaxi like an electric bolt, narrowly missing Teri as it streaks over her head. The tabaxi yowls horribly. The polka-dot umbrella shivers, and its polka dots fade away and vanish.

bobble

I'm not invisible, to my knowledge

Sciborg

(oops)

The tabaxi falls to one knee, hissing, looking very close to death. "The High Relic... you do not wield its power. Not right... not right..."

Robert looks at Teri and Fin, the only two people he can see, and mouths, Do we kill?

"Hlandbrenndu! Cat thing!"

[imagine that was before sciborg's message]

bobble

Teri flinches away. She just wanted the attackers to leave

AncientSwordRage

Pausing to think, "Nei...? No, I don't know..."

Sciborg

Coulter nods and murmurs, "I could put him to sleep... we cannot in good faith waste a life. There is more behind what he said."

bobble

(I am tutoring someone in less than 10 minutes)

Sciborg

(don't worry, almost done)

"It seems we're in agreement." Robert looks back at the tabaxi, as Coulter rises to his feet. "We will spare you for now, cat. Count yourself lucky you won't meet the fangs of Lupo today. Coulter...?"

Coulter waves a hand slowly, ring glowing, in a rhythmic, pendulum-like motion. The tabaxi goes glassy-eyed. "You feel very tired... you just want to lie down... that's it..." The tabaxi flops on the ground, tail twitching, fast asleep.

Sherri is still invisible and unable to speak for almost a whole minute.

bobble

Exhausted, our intrepid library assistant sits down and stares at the couch's hole

Sciborg

Robert looks around worriedly. "Is everyone all right? Where did Sherri go?"

Mithical

[can I roll one more time on the wild magic table before becoming visible again]

Sciborg

(absolutely)

Mithical

that is a 68

> 68 A McDonald's Big Mac and large fry appear on any flat surface within 20 feet of you.

AncientSwordRage

Nov 4, 2021 22:57

Fin hops up onto the couch, and flops next to Teri, "Thank you Teri" her staccato accent more obvious

Sciborg

The lights in the building flicker again, and the floor shivers. Then, abruptly, a Big Mac and fry materialize in front of Sherri, neatly wrapped.

bobble

grabs bag from its resting spot, quickly checks contents

AncientSwordRage

At Robert, "did you have another umbrella, maybe she is under one of those?"

Mithical

"-hear me? Can you-" Sherri stops abruptly upon becoming visible and audible again.

bobble

bobbles out

Sciborg

Nov 4, 2021 23:00

"No, that was our only one." Robert looks over at Sherri in relief. "There you are. Are you injured? We can bring anyone to the hospital who needs it."
