In Character LMOP Mk2

There are 3 of them, I'm assuming you meant the 3rd one who rolled 4 for initiative.

[Grendel]

Thanks Nish, lot of AD&D 2E in the filing cabinet updated OP

[DavidBoren]

I don't hesitate or waste time thinking, I take aim at the first guy out of the cave. As soon as the clown starts mean mugging Maxi, I let loose my arrow... looks like it's Redbrand #1's lucky day...

Redbrand #1 locks eyes with Maxi playing the Saxophone, the confusion is obvious, but quickly turns to anger.

At the exact moment that Redbrand #1 opens his mouth to say something, there is a muffled TWANG and a streak of white flashes from the treeline.

Redbrand #1's words falter. His confusion has returned. He finds himself going cross-eyed as he focuses on the feathered fletchings in front of his face. He tries to speak again... a spray of blood.

His eyes go wide in horror as he realizes that he has an arrow in his throat and a flood of pain cascades through his body... NAT 20/critical hit:
damage = (1D8×2)+4 = 12+4 = 16

Without pause I nock another arrow.

15 left, make them count...

FYI - In 5e you now get your Dex bonus added to both Attack and Damage with Ranged (And Finesse) Weapons.

When it is Piques's next to last turn to attack - Short Bow vs. Redband #4:

1D20+6 = [7]+6 = 13 Attack Roll RedBand#4 http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=240294

1D6 = [2] +6 = 8 Short Bow Damage Redband#4 http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=240296 Added based on Nish comment below

"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

Dexterity Check (maintain distance)

(Spring time for Hitler intensifies)

[Nish]

Gudeon wipes the sweat from his brow and stands as he finishes the repairs on the plow.


"Dare I ask how much coin that is going to cost me?" Asks Qelline Alderleaf.

"I admire your hard work. Let me stamp the blade with the symbol of my God. Fill my waterskin and maybe one of those beautiful apples and we can call it even if that suits you. You will still have to pay any debts you have to Parth of course." Gudgeon Answered her question warmly.

Qelline Looked at him suspiciously at first. Then agreed to his terms. She sent her son to fetch a pale of water and her and Gudeon sat to enjoy an early afternoon snack.

[Grendel]

Pique considers taking a shot at the saxophone but reconsiders and returns attention to the cave mouth.

[DavidBoren]

I quickly look over at Maxi.
What?! But, but we're hiding... I think to myself with a weird inflection of my own internal voice at the end.

I have to stifle a laugh, but I don't know if even my scarf can hide my smile. My eyes sparkle with delight, betraying my emotions regardless of my scarf covering my face.

I lightly strum my ring and pinky fingers on my bowstring in rhythm with springtime for hitler. Bow still at full draw, aiming into the cave...

[mlzplayer111]

As i see my friends being so jovial i start up spring time for hitler...

[Nish]

Gudgeon took the Triboar trail into Phandalin just this morning. Answering the summons of his cousin Gundron.

When he arrived he checked in at Barthons provisions in hopes of getting this over with quickly. Not expecting this "big discovery" to anything too important. When he found out that Gundron was not currently in town he went to the Smithy to offer the blessings of Moradin and his assistance.
"I don't mind your help but we pray to Gond here." Stated Parth the sweaty smith, not unkindly.
"Very well. What can I do?" Gudgeon replied smiling. These human and their young gods.

And so Gudgeon found himself sweating in a field belonging to a halfling farmer name of Alderleaf. Her plow had cracked on a rock and he was mending it in the warm sun. His Helmet shining silver in the light as it rested next to him on his pack. Sweat on his brow as he worked Moradins magic into the plow and the crack closed up and the metal filled in.
He was impressed with the woman. She had to hard working soul of a Dwarf.

[Rainmaker]

Ivan takes out his crossbow and readies a bolt.

Sniffing that gentle breeze, he tries to catch any particular scent he might recognize...

Perception of the breeze: 1D20+3 = [8]+3 = 11

Hmm, Eric or pique??
Sniffs again...

2nd Perception of the breeze: 1D20+3 = [17]+3 = 20
Smells worse the second sniff, and there's no mistaking this time.
Pique! Dammit man, trying to concentrate here and you let that foul stench eek from your ass?

[DavidBoren]

Are you kidding? This is how you find yourself, brother.

I find a tree with a fork in it to hide behind, my bow at full draw, aiming through the fork into the mouth of the cave.

I love this shi...

The last sentence tapers off into a hushed silence as a small breeze whistles by.

I gently strum my fingers on my bowstring, jiggling the little tuffs of whiskers I have tied to it.

[Rainmaker]

Eric, you crazy Чувак (chuvak)! You are enjoying this, yes?

Ivan dashes out of the cave mouth, visibly nervous and a bit giddy with adrenaline because of his yodeling. He's right, no going back after this.

I suppose we have to kill them all, no? What is plan? Anyone watching our flanks?
Ivan takes a hard look around them in the woods:
Perception: 1D20+3 = [1]+3 = 4
As he whips his head around, he doesn't realize that Eric just brushed past a branch, and the branch goes SMACK right into his face, Arrrgg, yowch!

Then he finds what he feels like is a good hiding spot among some large protruding root formations of a tree.
Stealth: 1D20+5 = [19]+5 = 24
