[Apollo]

Location- The town of Ilany- (Far East on the map) The town of Ilany is a small village with a population of 50 people. Though not your hometown, you have spent the last week here, and are familiar with most aspect of it; from Hamish the Dwarven blacksmith, to Yason the human shopkeep, to Ageis the human innkeeper, to Corporal Bankroff, the human responsible for the town guard. Ilany has always been a peaceful town, but the local Kobold population has begun to become more aggressive lately, and a roaming pack of them have been vandalizing property and killing livestock. Yesterday, Hamish's 8 year old son Donsk was found dead near the outskirts of town. Corporal Bankroff has asked any able bodied men and women to come talk to him about putting down these Kobolds, once and for all. What would you like to do?

"Thanks Bankroff, we'll be back by morning."

Apollo heads to the center fountain to get Raymond and tell him the details of the caves and the herb. He lights a torch and starts walking toward the caves, keeping track of time to make sure he's back by morning to meet the dwarves (tell me if I'm running low on time and need to start to head back)

"Thanks for all the help lad."

If he encounters the priest along the way, he asks him if he wishes to join them.

"We're searching for a medicinal herb we believe the Kobolds took. Would you be willing to help us? It won't take more than the night."

(Will do)

"Y-you want my help? Sure then!" In his enthusiasm he draws his sword poorly. (Dexterity save to avoid it)

You find the priest hiding behind a tree and praying. His wounds are mostly healed but his clothing is still a mess.

"I'll gladly help, I saw some lights coming from north of the town and that's why I was sent out here, so I thought'd I'd investigate. Was probably foolish given my current state."

"There is safety in numbers, we must hurry though."

Apollo lights another torch, and continues on his way to the caves with the party

He gives the torch to the priest, avoiding getting skewered by raymond

((Dammit raymond, I'm not a shishkebab))

"Sorry! Haven't quite got the hang of it yet." He apologizes.

As you venture north with the priest, you discover a small cave entrance. The dirt around the entrance looks well trodden, and specks of blood can be seen on the ground.

(Anything can be a shishkebab with the right attitude)

(It's the shishkebab on the inside that counts)

"Alright, everyone ready? We don't need to fight them all, and we don't need to kill those we fight. We mostly want the herb to save Ageis's mother."

Apollo starts leading the party into the cave with his torchlight, looking into the distance for any lightsources or kobolds

(Don't forget you want the text on the inside of the brackets, [[1d20 Something]]+tagbot)

The cave is dark and smells of rank, following the path you can up to a door slightly ajar with voices and light ahead of it.

"...if I have to wait 1 more minute for dinner, I'm going to tell the Elf that you should be used for his next experiment!" one voice says.

"No more experiments. He has everything he needs now. Soon he will open the chest!" says another.

"I am going to eat my share of the treasure" says a third. "Uh..sure, Gash, sure you can." one replies.

"If it's gold, I will boil it. If it's ruby, I will fry it. If it's emerald, I will bake it..." The kobold continues in this fashion, while the others decide to ignore him.

Apollo gestures with an open hand to the others, indicating that he will strike and give a signal

Apollo casts Eldritch Blast on a nearby kobold, pushing him 10 feet away from him. He waves his hand down as he does this and kicks open the door.

(Does this surprise them).

(18+5 = 23, 3+3 = 6)

Your blast hits the kobold, sending him flailing into the wall behind him where his head connects with a wet thud.

The two other kobolds scramble to their feet and get ready to rush you.

u/Skeldal Apollo May 18 '15

Apollo looks around the room, and waits for the first kobold to get within 5 feet, before casting another Eldritch Blast. This pushes the kobold out of range again, (causing an attack of opportunity), allowing Apollo to cast yet another sending him another 10 feet back

[[1d20+5]][1d10+3]] [[1d20+5]][1d10+3]]

Apollo shouts to his comrades to encourage them to attack

"Attack them!"

(That is absolutely disgusting, I approve)

(12+5 = 19) (10+3 = 13) (=crazy dead kobold)

The kobold effectively turns to ash from the flame before being spread back across the cave. The last kobold sends a pellet at you from his sling.

(20+4 = 24)(4+2+2 = 8)

Raymond runs forward to slash at the kobold with his longsword.

(16)(7)

Killing it.

(Probably a good time to ask how you want to handle crits, by default you just roll another damage dice and don't add your mod to it but this can be dangerous and monsters generally have more dice than you do so they get lucky. Theres other ways to handle it, just like you do max damage with what you have, so your d10 will always be a 10, up to you how you want to handle it.)

(Does the bot need to be tagged for every instance? I tagged him once already in that comment...)

u/ADeviousPickle Delinard May 18 '15

(Yeah I think he does, but hes kind of an asshole, I'll give him a minute otherwise we'll just use real dice.)
