The Thursday Game 6/27/19 – That’s a Lot of Fire Newts!
Recap of June the 27th in the year of our Lord 2019 –
From her vantage point, the Ranger can see at least three fire newts. The rest of the party discusses how to get a surprise attack off since we know the Ranger is readying her bow to fire. We all delay action until the enemy is alerted to our presence.
There is an extended discussion about how to ready an action.
Once we get closer, we see three mounted and seven unmounted fire newts. The Cleric summons her spirit guardians and spiritual weapon. The Druid summons two tigers to aid the battle. The Warlock softens one up with two eldritch blasts. The Monk moves into position and starts hammering a newt. The Paladin kills one that was attacking the Cleric while her spiritual weapon finishes another. When the tigers attack, one fumbles and takes falling damage! Poor kitty! The Paladin kills one while the spirit guardians kill another. Separated from the rest of the group, the Ranger bravely fells one of two that have been attacking her. The Warlock sees the rest of the party decimating the newts and runs to help the Ranger with the final one. After suffering extensive melee damage, one newt succumbs to the spirit guardians. The Paladin is rolling high tonight and kills another. The Warlock blasts the final one on the Ranger.
After this fight and the one before, we are an exhausted and hurt party. We have dispatched seventeen of these creatures! Before further exploration, we head back to the two dwarves we rescued. After a long rest, the dwarves have recovered from their exhausted states enough to make their own way out. We tell them to bring word to Sythia, leader of the albino dwarves that we are keeping our promise to reclaim Hrakhamar for her people!
Respectfully submitted,
Marigold Underbite, Cleric – May Pelor light your way!
