Emral drops the flaming sphere several steps out the door, between them and the wolves. He hopes to scatter them without casualties

“Begone! I don’t want to fight you, but this ruin is ours until we can get rid of the curse. Go!”

Emral casts Flaming Sphere. The massive ball of fire ignites and beings to spin in the courtyard.
But as Malak aims to fire, he notices a small instant pulse of light from a thick leather collar around the neck of the alpha wolf.
And instantaneously the sphere of flame fizzles out before it can even get turning!

“Huh. Well that happened,” Emral mused.

Next action, if we don’t get swarmed, is ducking to grab his pack and then bolt to the door at the far end of the room.

Yes, arrow #23 sticks out of the beast's shoulder.

Time seems to stop as the wolves wait to see what the alpha wolf decides to do about the arrow.

The rancid wolf bends its head toward the bolt, its snarl widening as long drools of mange fall the ground.

Then it turns back, locking a penetrating stare at the warlock - before it pounces with 19. Its powerful jaw locking onto the warrior mage's arm for 6 hp of damage!

end of round 1.
state intentions and roll int for round 2.

Okay, noted, but need better details.
1. Are you focusing on alpha or the rest of the pack pouring into the room?
2. Are you throwing the magical dagger? Or lunging?

Intentions: to break free of the wolf, and run to the door. Initially I was going to stab, but I rolled it and it was low. I’m hoping that it’s possible to change it to tearing free of the beast’s jaws instead? 😬

D6: 6
D20: 5

I attack the wolf that holds the Warlock.

Ha! that's why intentions are 1st, int. is 2nd, and attack/saves are 3rd!
I had you down for bolting to door, but the intention was too early, as now the wolf has your arm. You'll need to break free, and need to draw a weapon as you were casting last, when wolf attacked, so I'll give you the draw and stab.
5 is a miss!

Malak buries the hilt of the magic dagger into the alpha wolf's hide, but growls but its jaws of death remain clamped on the poor warlock's casting/attacking arm!

Two additional wolves manage to enter as the rest of the pack crowds the doorway.
One moves on Emral, but is kicked aside by his better.
The other bites Malak for 1 hp of damage!

End of round 2.
intentions. int. for round 3 please

achiriaco · 3/12/2019 1:59 pm

I stab the wolf that attacked me (Same Dagger)
Init 5
Roll 15 (plus bonuses)
Damage 3
Are these considered large or medium creatures?

fireinthedust · 3/12/2019 3:44 pm

Emral is going to grab the alpha by the collar with his other hand and hopefully be able to use it for leverage to pull his other hand free. If it’s a good enough roll, perhaps the collar will be pulled off?

D6:2
D20:12 plus modifiers?

New art on Instagram, can’t link right now.

Iron Ranger · 3/12/2019 8:22 pm

Malak stabs the new wolf with the bloody magic dagger, penetrating its skull. The feral beast slumps dead to the floor, knocking over the small bowl and scattering the sticks.

Emral gets a good hold on the alpha's collar and yanks, but it stays put, as does the alpha's LOCKJAW!

Three more wolves join the fray, each jockeying for an attack position - but only one manages a nip at Malak:
17! Thankfully it's only a graze for 1 hp of damage!

End of round 3.
intentions/int for round 4....
