D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Pennydumb123 Yes, it is your turn.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Sorry about that. I'll be sure to mention you guys in future GM posts. ^^"

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Cu Chulainn That just hits him.

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@ihinka You can try that on your next turn. I did say that finishing tying up the bandit will take your full action. ^^"

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@ihinka For that, I would still ask you to make an Intimidation check, because the bandits' would definitely take that as a threat. ^^"

@Cu Chulainn A short post will not be necessary. You can start with describing the opportunity attack in your next post in the Initiative order. You can post the mechanics for the Opportunity attack here in the OOC thread.

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Guardian Angel Haruki So if it takes our full turn to tie the bandit, that means action, bonus action, movement. If I wanted to say something to the bandits, is that allowed?

@ihinka

I consider saying something to the bandits a free action (as long as it's not a spell or speech), so you can do that.
I would say to finish tying up this bandit quickly and be able to fight next time, it'll take a full round. But you do have advantage thanks to Shaedra.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Any of these banditos trigger Mirdas's Opportunity Attack? o.o

@Cu Chulainn

I would say that you would have an Opportunity attack on Chorus and Lorus (the bandits attacking Jacoby and Bobbin)

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

There we go! Post is finally up!

@JBRam2002 Now it's Bobbin's turn. ^_^

Before I forget again...

@0 Azzy 0@Pennydumb123 You guys get an Inspiration for staying true to your characters' personalities.

Wayward Forest

Bandits

The Bandit who is currently being tied up struggled as much as he could, but it was to no avail. The panther was too strong, and the elf was even faster, and she had help from another woman. He caught sight of the other bandits and he called out desperately, "Brothers! Help, please!"

The bandits that surrounded the group immediately acted, deciding to ignore the strange lights that hit the bird, blind man, and bush. Five of the bandits, charged into the group. Two from behind approached Shaedra and Safira, while three others approached Bobbin, Jacoby, and Mirdas. The other five bandits lifted their crossbows and aimed.

The two bandits that approached Shaedra and Safira grinned lecherously and as one of them commented, "Well, looky here Horus! I think we've interrupted a bit of foreplay!"
The second bandit slid his finger across his scimitar blade and answered with a stupid pun, "Aye, Boris! Sorry, lassies, mind if we cut in?"
The two then attacked. Boris's blade swung too wide and missed Safira, while Horus was able to slash across Shaedra's arm. The bandit who was apprehended yelped in fear, due to the fact that the blades had swung too close for comfort for him.

The bandit who approached Jacoby smirked and laughed "A blind man? Heh, this'll be too easy. Don't worry old man. It'll be all over soon," He then slashed, intending to aim for the neck. While his blade did find its mark, it did not cut the throat. Instead it only left a scratch on Jacoby's cheek.

Mirdas' bandit opponent approached the fish man and after looking over the paladin, he asked in confusion and curiosity with a tilt of his head, "Whaddaya 'sposed t'be? M'rmaid?" Since the question was rhetorical, the bandit just shrugged and attacked, his blade only found purchase with the shield.

The fifth bandit screamed as he ran up to the kenku and attempted to slash at him. His blade only found air, and he grinned at the kenku. He licked at his blade and giggled maniacally, "Good! I get to fight a bird! I've been craving roast chicken these days...!" Yeah...this bandit may be a few eggs short of a chicken coop...

The bandits that stayed back and aimed their crossbows, looked to the leading crossbow expert of the thieves. After the silent words given,
"Ready...
Aim....
Fire!"
The five bolts were sent flying, and all found purchase on their targets. These bandits were clearly not slouches when it came to their training with the crossbow. They all grinned as they nocked their crossbow bolts once again.

Jamil

Jamil heeded Shaedra's words, and he kept his weight on the bandit, until she started tying the bandit up. He looked around at the bandits that surrounded them. He knew they shouldn't have stayed and waste time with strangers! This is what they get for sticking around. Before Jamil could even attack, one of the bandits ran up to Shaedra and slashed at her, while a flying piece of metal managed to stick itself in her arm. He jowls lifted upwards even more into a menacing snarl, if it was possible, and with a angry yowl, he bit the bandit with the sword and found purchase in his calf.

The bandit screamed and shouted "Augh! Boris! Help! That thing just bit me!

Jamil then took his position in front of Shaedra, facing the two bandits that were closest to her and the other woman. Jamil snarled at the bandits, his animalistic cries interpreted to Shaedra as,

"Go ahead. Touch the elf-cub again. I dare you,"

Mechanics

Jamil's bite to Shaedra's Sword Bandit: 15 to hit. Hits
--Deals 5 piercing damage

Bandit Captain

The Bandit Captain studied the group that was apprehending one of his brothers. Nobody messes with a brother and gets away with it! The blind man looked like he would be the easiest to kill off. Chorus has him covered.

Boris and Horus have the two women and cat covered. Once they free the apprehended lookout, then they'll be even.

Lorus has the walking bird covered. The man was unpredictable and crazy, so it was usually best to not get in his way.

That left the walking and talking fish man. He dashed up to face the fish man, and he commented "Looks like you could use the help Morris! Let's get this freak together!" After Morris nodded, and answered "Th'nks, C'ptin," the Bandit Captain attacked. His scimitar found the shield, but the captain wasn't worried. There was still the dagger.

He aimed the dagger at fish man's neck, only to find that the scales were much stronger than he had anticipated. Apparently fighting this man wasn't going to be like gutting a fish.

Mechanics

Attacks at Mirdas with Multiattack
Scimitar: 16 to hit. Misses
Dagger: 10 to hit. Misses

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Cu Chulainn The bandits have surrounded everyone who went after the thief in a circle. Mirdas could have an opportunity attack at two or three of them, but there are still bandits coming in from behind and the side.

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Since the bandit is going to be resisting, I say roll the Dexterity check with advantage, and Safira will do that as well on her turn.

D&D 5e -- The Lost Children

@Cu Chulainn I believe that would be Jacoby, Bobbin, and Boram. Signod is still on the path where everyone met each other.

There’s also Jamil the panther.
