[5e] Curse of Strahd - UA playtest IC

[cobaltstarfire]

Zap! Shimmies around the tree back to the side nearest battle, and carefully sizes up the situation before leaping out of the tree. She produces the sound of rocks shattering, and when she hits the ground it shatters and buckles in a 10 foot radius, except for around herself, Andrei and Sandu.

[It is then Marcia's turn]

[Lord Ruby34]

"Damnable beasts!" Marcia swears as she fights off the wolves lunges. She comes to her feet again, this time with her rapier drawn while her gun is held vertically in her right hand. "This has already gone on too long!" She yells at the wolf, knowing that it won't understand her even as she thrusts her blade at the wolf's sternum.

Spoiler: Actions

Move: Stand up

If Marcia kills the wolf she's going to step back away from Sandu and the wolves and reload her gun. I'll edit my post to describe that if it happens.

EDIT: For text colors

[tieren]

Marcia's thrust misses its mark and the wolf is unfazed in its assault.

[it is Sandu's turn]

[Kwaj]

Sandu throws down his spear and lays his hand on Andrei, murmuring a prayer to Kelemvor, casting cure wounds as a 2nd-level spell for 19 hit points healed.

Spoiler

Show

The Grave domain ability lets a healing spell cast on a creature at 0 hp automatically roll the maximum number of hit points, so cure wounds at 2nd level is 2d8 (16) plus ability modifier (3).

[tieren]

The wave of healing energy crashes through Andrei, mending his wounds and replenishing his spirit. His eyes snap open while he lies on the broken earth, the sounds of snarling wolves all around him.

[It is now Andrei's turn (you are prone)]

[Thematthew]

Andrei rises up once more from prone, intent on killing the wolf who savaged him.

Edit 2: Bonus action Second Wind. Rolled in OOC, regained 6 hp.

[tieren]

Beiro's axe ends another wolf's life as wolf5 dies in a squeal.

At about the same time you all hear a distant howl from the fog and the remaining 3 wolves break off looking as if they want to run off and join the source of the howl.

Spoiler: Calls for AoO

Show

Andrei may make an Attack of opportunity against wolf 3 or 4, Marcia may make an attack of opportunity against wolf 6 with her rapier, and assuming 6 survives Marcia it is going to run through Beiro's threatened spaces and he will also get an attack of opportunity.

I do not believe Zap! or Sandu are currently holding melee weapons, if I am mistaken please advise in OOC thread.

[Lord Ruby34]

Marcia lunges again at the fleeing wolf, hoping to drive it off for good.

Berio takes a swing at the wolf passing him as it leaves. He normally would let the beast go as it's just an animal, but it's aiding the werewolves and might become a threat to their group or innocent folk in the future.
