[OOC] D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Then my intent will be for Brannor to follow another thirty feet and fire on his turn, assuming we are still in initiative order, @Hekazu. I am unsure if @Norschtalen would as well or if I am alone, but either way the intent is to maybe incapacitate or kill at least one more.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Noted. Will await input from players willing to continue before breaking initiative order and addressing what those excluding themselves did.

[Norschtalen]

I'm going to have Kyra try and shoot one of the humans in the leg to disable him. I'm working on a post right now.

[Hekazu]

@Norschtalen
That's a hit. Not a killing blow, but a hit.

[Hekazu]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity
Your attack finishes what Kyra started.

Next up would be @Gordian Nought, does Torus have anything specific planned?

[Lucius Cypher]

You guys mind if I move out of turn or shall I wait for Torus? I don't think there's anyone else left unless ya going to shoot down the last bandit. Or if the kobolds come back.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

The intent is to kill the last fleeing enemy if possible, even if it means risking disadvantage for myself. Better we have a chance at removing more possible enemies. I doubt they might be recurring, like our dragon, half dragon and purple person, but I would rather have one less enemy.

[Lucius Cypher]

I'm half expecting these guys to be some sort of ambush squad and we got lucky catching them in the middle of lunch. The group is too big to be a scouting party even if most of them are kobolds, and I don't know why a scouting party would be behind the army, presumably if we're going after the bad guys. I'm slightly worried that the ones who run away aren't just going to come back, but bring reinforcements.

By the way, someone save that chicken!

[Hekazu]

This is an awkward situation, I've got to say. Since it is unlikely for Torus to have any long range things anyhow, I say we can default their turn to standing there all intimidating like. The man is going to begin talking pretty much no sooner than your weapons are either down or explicitly threatening his throat, so if you are going hunting after the rest, you should go on ahead @Lucius Cypher@The Harbinger of Ferocity@Norschtalen.

Sorry @Gordian Nought, but the radio silence has been too long. Your turn has been defaulted.

[Gordian Nought]

Sorry. Didn't realize we were still in Initiative, nor that was my turn. I should have inferred from Brannor taking the last action.

I will not be currently pursuing the enemy at this stage. If you would like a post, I can scrounge one tonight. No problemo. @Hekazu

[Lucius Cypher]

Rodger Rodger, I'll have a post up for Orchid soonish.

@Hekazu Permission to push the bandit down and have Orchid point his sword at him menacingly?

[Hekazu]

Permission to push the bandit down and have Orchid point his sword at him menacingly?

@Lucius Cypher

Contested STR(Athletics) against their DEX(Acrobatics) roll of 7.

If this move goes through, I will reserve a spot for a post from me after yours.

[Lucius Cypher]

Nito, will roll when I'm at a computer. Mobile right now.

@Gordian Nought

If you want, maybe you could assist Orchid in intimidating the guy before I post? Bear comes over and growls at him or something.

[Gordian Nought]

Sounds good to me. You can address him as your personal sidekick. Torus will go along with the ruse, @Lucius Cypher.

[Lucius Cypher]

Cool, so with Gordian's permission to use Torus to help with the intimidate check, can I roll with advantage @Hekazu? Just for the intimidate. Also could I use strength as my modifier for this intimidate, as Orchid And Torus are preparing for a vicious mauling as oppose to a more implied threat?

[Hekazu]

@Lucius Cypher

What are you aiming to achieve by intimidating them further? They seem fairly compliant to me.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Hekazu

Oh they are? I kinda thought we might've need to intice them more. I guess I want to put the fear into this guy so bad, that he doesn't really do a good job at trying to "just" tell us what we want to hear but actually spills all the beans. I doubt this guy would know much, but everything about the cultist we want to know, like where they're heading, if there are any more smaller groups in the forest, how he joined them in the first place, who their leader/boss is, and so forth.

@Lucius Cypher

I won't comment on what he knows, but I know that when a member of a presumably fanatic cult is the first one to offer a ceasefire to talk, they might be actually willing to talk. I mean sure, you can roll for intimidation if you really want to, but they are already massively outnumbered, have a bear growling in their face and have just seen their presumed friend(s) slaughtered. What more do you have to offer?

[Hekazu]

Wait nevermind goddammit, I missed a post here. I'm a fool.

Do try to remember to mention me when you post so I don't embarrass myself like this, no?

[Ryonara]

Don't worry Hekazu, I'm sure we're all rather busy with our daily lives at the moment. At the very least these hurricanes have certainly made things rather difficult for some of us.
