Re: [D&D5E] QUEEN OF THE DRAGON THRONE
Radiant thinks back to her visit to Las Pegasus during a short term studying abroad, and takes a deep breath and then slowly exhales. Wispy trails of clouds come out of her mouth and coalesce around her hooves, and suddenly she seems to be much, much faster.
(Level 1 spell slot expended for Expeditious Retreat via bonus action.)
She lunges forward with her new speed and tries to dash through the blockade to get as close as possible to the exit point, utilizing her speed to weave through the guards as much as possible to avoid giving them easy melee hits on her.
(1 full movement action, 1 Dash bonus action thanks to the spell)
While running, she fires a Ray of Frost at the enemy guard that is closest to either her or an ally.

Re: [D&D5E] QUEEN OF THE DRAGON THRONE
The guard who readied at action responds to this by throwing a spear at Ray, and scoring a hit at that. He doesn't knock Blinding Ray out of his concentration, but he does shear him for 4 damage.Wooten wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 8:43 pmRay casts Sanctuary on Bottle (For one minute enemies must make wisdom saves before attacking bottle, on a failed save they must choose a new target or lose their attack, 13 DC. Attacks from Bottle break the spell), and then gallops away from the camp as fast as possible (60feet, since he cast a spell).
Radiant fires off a Ray of Frost at an enemy, but isn't able to land it while going at full speed apparently.
Two archers are aiming at the cart, and in a succession of plunks, they both manage to hit the cart, not doing any immediate damage but managing to start it aflame! You figure you have three rounds before this thing falls to pieces unless you can figure out a countermeasure.
Another archer aims at bottle, succeeds against the wisdom save, but then misses the shot by a hair. Last archer aims for Radiant, but misses.
Then Gothic shows up fashionably late to the party.
It's Bottle's turn again.

"The cart's on fire! Help put it out!" Bottle shouts to the ponies riding behind him, while also hoping that Radiant can hear him and cast ray of frost on it.
Bottle avoids the guard next to him as he runs away as fast as he can (disengage, move, dash).

Re: [D&D5E] QUEEN OF THE DRAGON THRONE
Bottle and the prisoners are clear of combat. The cart's still on fire and the ponies in back aren't having much luck putting it out, but some are even abandoning the cart and letting their own hooves carry them down the hill.
Two prisoners speak up: "I doubt they're going to let us get away that easy!" and "Should we split up?!"
During the guards movement, one runs over and tried to slash Ray, but catches the side of the tent instead. Bottommost guard uses a full move action to place himself next to Radiant. Last one charges after Ray, but doesn't make it off the map yet, meaning you still have a decent lead on these fellows.
Blinding Ray's turn. Not pictured, the guard directly in front of him to the south, and the opening he could take to the north to quickly escape off map.

Radiant grits her teeth. This hasn't gone quite as well as she had hoped.
She sprints away towards the evac point as fast as she can. (Movement and bonus dash. Do not leave map.) She fires a ray of frost at the melee guard closest to the old monk.

Radiant Rose acts out of turn, the rude pyromaniac horse, scampers away from an attack, and fires back at the swinging guard, dealing 4 damage! He's now Injured.
It's now Southern Gothic's turn, as it should've been.

Re: [D&D5E] QUEEN OF THE DRAGON THRONE
Things seem pretty much under control here, but just in case Gothic decides she's going to help clear a path for the monk. She flies onto the scene, dashing to the guard that was accosting Radiant and ramming him (+5 attack for 1d6+3 with 1d6 sneak attack).

Re: [D&D5E] QUEEN OF THE DRAGON THRONE
Gothic finally breaks stealth for the first time in the camp since "being captured." She runs up and attempts to buck a guardspony.
Archers act, the one closest to Gothic draws a blade and attacks!
It goes through, Autumn takes 5 damage!
The other three archers aim at Ray, but nothing gets through to him.
If Bottle wishes to deploy in the top left corner, he is free to do so. Otherwise guard action is next
Really you're just flaunting at this point.d20+5 = 17, Hit
8 damage, KO'D

Bottle gallops with incomprehensible speed, grabs the hostage, then starts moving to the exit. Meanwhile, guards move up to try and get Attacks of Opportunity, but are unable to regularly attack.
Blinding Ray, then Gothic, then Radiant are up in that order. Ray can deploy on the top edge and cast some spells or whatnot.

Just a note, Sanctuary doesn't require concentration, so if Bottle hasn't attacked at all he still has it.
Ray takes a shot with his crossbow at the archer attacking gothic (+3 for 1d8+1).

Re: [D&D5E] QUEEN OF THE DRAGON THRONE
Gothic always enjoys a good scrap, but at this point she's tired and just wants to keep her eyes on the prize, so she disengages from the enemies ganging up on her and turns the tables on the guard engaging Bottle and the monk, giving him a good thwack on the back of his head. [+5 attack for 1d6+3 with 1d6 sneak attack damage]

Radiant fire on the archer, but narrowly misses. Meanwhile the archer runs up and attacks Bottle, but also missing.
Bottle then comes under a hail of arrow fire! 3 arrows, but only one that connects deals 4 damage to him.
It's now Bottle Bash's turn.

Radiant sends out one last Ray of Frost at the closest wounded cultist, then proceeds off the map at maximum sped. She looks to help gather up any prisoners who have peeled off the main group.

Re: [D&D5E] QUEEN OF THE DRAGON THRONE
Radiant Rose manage to comically freeze the guard solid while running as fast as her hooves can carry her.
As tired as you all are, the next hour is nothing but a desperate chase. The prisoners got a decent head start, but arrows have been falling just short of Radiant and Gothic. Luckily, it seems someone is running interference for you, as you can hear sounds of fighting coming from behind you, but you have not the time to look back.
You ride with the sun at your backs for another five hours before safely deciding you've lost them. From there it takes another few hours of trotting to get back to Leafrest.
Your first contact is with an outrider who greets you quite enthusiastically.
"You set out with five and came back with over a dozen! That's a success story if I've ever heard one. Come, I'm sure the governor, heck, EVERYPONY will be thrilled! We should celebrate! I don't suppose one of you is a bard?"
From here five of the prisoners split off, insisting that they should return to their loved friends and family before meeting with the local authority. They promise you whatever hospitality or rewards that might entice you, promising to see you later. Three others from other towns follow you into the castle along with Earthenware who is back to walking on his own, though very shakily. The monks at the castle are delighted to see him alive, quickly tending to him and finding him shelter while offering prayers in your name. Nighthill greets you in the main keep, and vigorously proclaims:
"Let it be known that there are heroes in our midst, and that their courage and daring-do should be applauded throughout time!
Well done my friends, my Castellan will see to it you are paid duly for your many troubles. But come, you must be tired, I'll have a hot meal and warm baths drawn for you, there's someone I want you to meet afterwards.
Feel free to talk to anyone and everyone while you eat, bath, and rest while you wait to meet that (presumably) pony Nighthill wanted you to meet.

After thanking Nighthill and the Castellan, Radiant slowly walks up to Ray. "Thanks for all the help back there, with that weird ritual and potionmaking and such. Can't believe we got out of that alive. Not sure what I was even doing out there. Horsefeathers, I'm only a newly minted wizard from the academy doing her post-doc. What is it that you do again?"

The monk gives a solemn bow, "Earthenware, and thank you for your concern, but I should manage. They were... cruel to me, but I will recover." He gives a pained smile, clearly grateful for all you've done. "I don't suppose you have my emblem? Pewter Pot said he gave it to you to help find me. My staff as well, but I imagine I'll be needing a new one now."

Re: [D&D5E] QUEEN OF THE DRAGON THRONE
Gothic watches the festivities for a while, thinking over the events of the last few days, trying to make sense of what's happened. She catches Nighthill in a quiet moment and takes him aside. "So. Cult in the woods. They infiltrate the town--still a little shaky how that happened, if I'm being honest--and we rout them. We bust into their camp, bring back their prisoners, muster the troops and chase off whoever's left. And that's it, you figure? Case closed? We all move on with our lives and forget the time an army of zealots took over the entire town 'cause they were just that scared of some dragon. Bit too clean a resolution for such a messy situation, if you ask me."

After speaking to Ray, Radiant asks Earthenware to speak to a monk most familiar with herbology, figuring that monks would likely be the most familiar with religious rituals and tools thereof. She especially seeks to understand what happened to her during the ceremony, and the effects of the herbs she collected.

Nighthill gives a resolute but worried look, "Aye, if only it were that easy... I loathe to ask more of you considering all you've done, hence why I'm passing the buck to somepony else who I imagine you'll have a much harder time refusing." He gives a mysterious smile at that last part, urging you to follow him to a meeting with that somepony.Weird Autumn wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 4:08 pmGothic watches the festivities for a while, thinking over the events of the last few days, trying to make sense of what's happened.

It'll take some time, but one of the monks promises to identify the lot of herbs you collected from the camp.

He turns down the drink with a waving of a hoof, then addresses the other question. "Truth be told I have spent a fair deal of my life studying these... dragon-eccentrics.

Radiant is a little proud that she managed to not let her jaw drop too far. She takes a bite of the cake and drinks the tea a little too fast.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Princess Celestia. It was quite intimidating, to say the least. However, if Equestria needs me, you will not find me wanting.
If you could put in a good word for me at the Academy in Canterlot, and tell my professor Magus Hoofdini that my research into cross-species use of magic will be further delayed...I would really appreciate that."
"Also maybe talk him into giving me a sabbatical after this..." Radiant mumbles quietly.

"Quite reasonable. I'm sure you've already picked up a bit of information on these Tiamat worshippers, and I hate to ask more of you after you've done so much, but the need is great." She sets down her tea and sets a very serious tone to her face, purple irises looking down at you from the natural height difference. "I need you to return to the cultists' camp. You know your way around it now. If the cultists are preparing to conduct another raid, or a large body of them marches away, or if anything substantial is carried into or out of that cave, I need to know.Weird Autumn wrote: ↑Tue Apr 03, 2018 10:04 pmGothic accepts a slice of the cake and takes a small bite out of it.

If you have a chance to get into the camp and look around again, that would be the ideal way to spot anything that's changed." She resumes her tea-drinking. "We have word that a good number of them did move away after your escape, so you likely won't be dealing with a full camp this time. The choice is yours, of course, and should you decline I'm certain there is more work up north that requires attention."
She then turns to address Radiant. "I'm sure you could find a chance to continue your studies abroad, but I'll be sure to put in a good word for you at the academy. I'm sure Hoofdini will understand, especially when I explain to him why I needed his student for further cross-species study. I can't make any promises about that sabbatical though, there is lots of work to be done..." She sighs, tea-drinks.

"Don't sell yourself short, dear. Not in front of the princess." Gothic cocks her head curiously. "But it does seem a bit strange, if I may say. They were operating out of a shoddily-constructed work camp, it wasn't a particularly defensible or permanent installation. And after our little stunt they have to know we'll be coming back with the full brunt of the town guard and any other force we can muster. That's not a fight they can win. So why would they stay? Or leave the place standing at all?"
"I wouldn't mind having a chance to investigate properly, though. Last time I was a mite occupied. Up until things got noisy, and then there wasn't much of a chance to poke around." In the back of her mind, though, Gothic wonders... is there something the princess isn't telling them? (Insight +6, and on a 7 or lower I get to take an 8)

Bottle is in shock. He's not expecting to see Princess Celestia here, of all places. He bows his head briefly in reverence.
"Go back to the camp, ya say? Ah can do that. Especially with all mah friends with me, if you ask."

Blinding Ray is clearly in a stunned awe still, obviously.
