He stumbles, but is still making progress.

[DavidBoren]

On no you don't...

Another muffled TWANG, and a streak of white follows Redbrand #3 into the cave...

ATK = 1D20 + 4 + 2 = 11 + 4 + 2 = 17
DMG = 1D8 + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8

13, arrows left...

[mtaylor]

The third Redbrand looks around at you guys and his dead friends, and turns and rushes back into the cave presumably to warn the others.

[Nish]

For your ranged attack you the formula is 1d20+Dex Bonus+Proficiency Bonus
For Damage it is 1d6+ Dex Bonus (No proficiency bonus to damage)

"Oh hell ! Pique my boy you are too old to be this bad at getting the drop on the likes of these"

Pique moves to the right trying to keep distance between him and the on rushing Redbands

1D20+4 = [9]+4 = 13

As Ivan raises his crossbow, he hears a flap, flap, flap of a bird's wings near his head.

Dexterity, grab blackbird: 1D20+3 = [19]+3 = 22

Without taking his eyes off the 3rd Redbrand, Ivan deftly reaches cross-body with his right hand over his left shoulder and Snatches a blackbird out of the air. Squawking wildly the whole time, he casts his arm forward as if throwing a frisbee, and flings the feathered ball of fury toward the 3rd Redbrand.

Animal Handling, throw blackbird: 1D20+3 = [1]+3 = 4

Ivan never was very good at sports. The momentum that he put into the throw takes Ivan off balance and he stumbles forward a bit, breaking eye contact with the Redbrand. He releases a little too early, and the screeching bird goes hurtling directly toward Pique's head.

Gudgeon hears what begins as a scream and quickly turns to a gargle.
So much for it just being an animal in the woods.

Gudgeon entered the woods without slowing his pace can and readied his warhammer. In their smalltalk Ms. Alderleaf had mentioned people coming up missing and warned him to avoid trouble with some gang called the Redbrands.

[Rainmaker]

Well, that ought to do it, comrade, ha ha! Remind me not to double cross you.

Seeing redbrand #2 probably dead, ivan turns to see what #3 is up to, raising hots crossbow level with his chest, at the ready.

[DavidBoren]

OYE! I Exclaim in a burst of pain...
You'll wish you hadn't...

Instead of drawing the string back, it's almost like I lean into the bow... towards Redbrand #2, I tower over his now prone form, aiming almost straight down, and release my arrow before Redbrand #2 even has time to look up at me.

Advantage for being within 5' of prone target:
a) 1D20 + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19
b) 1D20 + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9

Damages:
1D8 + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

After shooting Redbrand #2, I spit on him, and nock another arrow.

14...

[Rainmaker]

Ivan sees the 2nd Redbrand attack Eric, and takes aim with his crossbow.

Crossbow shot 1: 1D20+1 = [9]+1 = 10

Crossbow shot 2: 1D20+1 = [19]+1 = 20


Assuming the first one misses, and the 2nd one hits:
Crossbow damage: 1D8+1 = [7]+1 = 8


After firing, Ivan moves as close to the Redbrand #2 that he just shot, intent on engaging closer up on the next round.

[mtaylor]

The second Redbrand sees Eric fire his bow, and moves to slash at him with his short sword. His first swipe connects (for 3 points of damage) and he misses way wide with his second, falling on his face with his excess force.

[Nish]

Gudgeon sips water from the ladle little droplets landing in his beard. It's refreshingly cool being fresh from the well.

Talking casually with the Alderleaf's he notices that they seem to be distracted. He stops chewing his apple long enough to hear a strange sound from the woods. A strange melody from an instrument he doesn't recognize.

It's probably nothing, but there is an uneasiness in the boy's face.

Gudgeon shrugs, shifts his weight to his hands and stands up. Leaving his pack on the ground he puts his helmet on, grabs his shield and slings his warhammer over his shoulder.

"I've spent most of my life in caves and churches. I don't know what bird makes that song. I'd like to go find out. Can you keep an eye on my pack for me young Mr. Alderleaf?"

The boy nods and Gudgeon walks towards the sound.

[Nish]

Grendel, I completely understand. I have the same problem some times.

[mtaylor]

Indeed his eyes do go wide in horror, as he tries to focus on the arrow and collapses to the ground dead.

[Grendel]

I guess so I was thinking order of list and 2 Redbands #3 & 4 but see my mistake. #3 it is
