Dima is still seriously considering using Slow— But opts for attempting another round of damage, and will cast Shatter at level 3. Dima is an absolute winner on his rolls and manages to hit for all of 5 points when the creature makes its save. (Dima sir how do you do this to me. Why do you do this to me.)
Oh but the spell DOES make a real loud noise! Which. Dima is now second guessing. Thinking about earlier tiny avalanche.
O o p s?
[dm: Yeah so about that.
There's an unpleasant sort of rumbling, grinding noise from the rockface around them.
Liv’s up.]
Dima iS going to back up some, while cursing at himself under his breath. And ofc giving Fae's hand a squeeze as he withdraws.
Liviana is going to use her turn to try to assess what the fuck Dima might have just caused/what seems to be going on wrt potential actual-rock danger.
[INV, l: 13
dm: Liv can see some pebbles seem to have shaken loose, but really can't assess the situation well.]
She Tried.
And since she can see everyone except rocklie from where she is, she'll stay put, ending her turn.
<.>
Brings us to the rock, which is going to stomp five feet to the left and start another rolling attack; moving downhill, it gets 60 total feet. It rolls directly at Fae, then Dima, then rebounds off the outcropping and hits Sen.
Fae, Dima, and Sen all fail their saving throws and are knocked prone.
Next, the creature is going to say something in a strange, grinding, earthy language; it raised its hands and stomps first one foot, then the other. And from the rises on either side, two boulders begin to shift and rock, then unfurl.
[dm: initiatives for these new combatants will be 10 and 5.]
And onto top of the next round!
<.>
Rin uses their bonus action to Dash, then takes a crossbow shot at Lie Rock #1. They hit, and with its resistance, Lie Rock #1 takes 8 damage.
[dm: Okay! The creature staggers and seems injured ? now; it turns toward Rin - as do the other two - and bellows furiously.
And, CON saving throw: 22. HMMMM.]
Rin uses the rest of their movement from Dash, and ends their turn.
<.>
Sen's up, and he's got this fucking handful of magic rocks
…Also he’s prone. But. He’s going to throw a rock anyway. The pebble he's flinging up at the creature bounces off harmlessly. And but it does stop focusing on Rin.
Sen’s also going to have the sentacle take a swat at the creature; it hits for 4 points.
[dm: CON save: 16]
Fae’s up! He's going to drop concentration on the lightning because it's useless over where there remain no rock creatures.
[note: ;.; rip lightning you were really cool ;.;]
And Fae’s going to attack one of those other ones before it can roll at Sen. He casts Scorching Ray, and in fact aims one ray at each of the fuckers. The first misses; the second and third hit for 8 points each
[dm: CON save, 19]
Next Fae’s going to send his wolf to Sen and get his noodle ass out of there.
Onto New Friend Rock 1! It's going to roll at Fae, and reaching him, use its slam attack. Hits for— Holy shit 20 points bludgeoning damage, and Fae is knocked prone??! He’s down to 32 hp.
[dm: forgot fae was prone before, so he took extra damage for that miss on my part. also. moving onto dima and liv’s turn, dima is prone, but I'll allow him a puppy uppy note: bless u for this ;.;.; dima will always love a puppy uppy thank yoU.]
<.>
And. Dima is going to use his movement to stand, and will cast Slow, targeting all three rock-shits and hoping that some of the spell's effects might work. The rock creatures all fail their saves and are slowed. >:o
Liv is hitting Fae with a level 2 Healing Word, giving 9 points health for Faolan. She’ll fly upward, and the Dima-Liv turns ends.
<.>
Rock Friend #2 makes a rolling attack at Fae, who just happens to be in its line of sight. Hits for 15 points damage, and since Fae’s already prone, he’s just… continuation of prone.
Bringing us to OG Lie Rock. The creature balls itself up as though preparing for another attack, but rather than rolling towards anyone, rolls itself 30 ft downhill.
And that'll do it for that one. Rin’s up!
<.>
They're going to huff a very annoyed sound through their nose and take a shot at the rock-lie nearest to them. They hit, and with resistance, the creature takes 10 damage. Rin uses their bonus action to Dodge, uses their movement to get a little closer to the party, and closes their turn by calling out “Hey shitheel >:o” to the one they shot.
<.>
That brings us to Sen, who is using his movement to get up as he didn't get up before being teleported. He's going to reposition the sentacle, which misses its attempted hit.
Then Sen swears loudly and tells Fae to get out of the way; Sen will hold his action for now, with the trigger for his action being Fae moving.
And as that brings us to Fae's turn, he's going to get himself teleported out of there. Uphill.
And because I didn't move the wolf first, that'll do it for its turn.
Fae is going to cast Scorching Ray again, now as a level 3 spell. Three rays hit; one misses. The fucker that kept hitting him takes 16 points of fire damage, and the other one takes 10.
[q: since that one time, have any of the friendos seemed to react when other friendos were wounded? a: only the og lie rock seems to be having a reaction.]
Sen’s going to use his action now to cast Thunderwave at level 3. Both Rock Friends fail their saves; one takes 13 damage, one takes 17, and both are pushed 10 ft back, one of them being shoved back against the rockface.
Onto one of the Rock Friends! Which will be backing up and climbing the rocks. It can only move about 10 feet, and does so, uphill.
<.>
Dima is going to cast Misty Step, moving up and away where he has a sightline on OG Lie Rock. From there, he’ll cast Chill Touch on OG Lie Rock. Go tiny hand of death, go! The spells hits for 9 points necrotic damage.
[dm: How do you want to do this?]
Dima, reappearing upon the rocks beside Liviana, is going to look over at Faolan and cant his head, smiling just a little because yes he is worried about Fae but! Fae is up away from danger right now, and Dima is ALSO up away from danger!
He'll turn, see the fucKing rock that started this all, then conjure a skeletal hand - lined with blue-bright necromantic energy - and fire it at the fucker.
The hand dives, fingers curling, curling into a fist, and connects with a minor spray of that same energy. Driving a crater into the creature's chest— Minor, yes, but apparently enough.
Swiftly, the little hand returns to Dima, who lets it land upon his own palm as it fades.
He will, of course, immediately turn his attention in Fae's direction VERY CONCERNED ABOUT PUPPY.
<.>
The rock staggers left, then right, then falls to the ground; it's almost anticlimactic after that spellwork.
Behind Dima, the other two creatures abruptly stop moving; they both drop lifelessly to the ground.
Fae is holding his ribs but standing on his own outcropping; with a rueful little smile, he waves across at Dima. Then slowly, he lowers himself to sit; the wolf leans against him, its flames half-engulfing him harmlessly.
Sen looks around for Rin as the tentacle dissipates, then looks up at the two rises where Fae and Dima stand; assuming those two creatures were his own doing, he calls up, "You're welcome."
<.>
Liv is heading over to hit Fae with another healing word and she will accept no arguments on this, giving 6 points healing.
<.>
Fae is going to suggest they go ahead and make camp as the day is getting on a bit, and it gets dark in the mountains early.
[note: fae is getting no arguments from anyoneeee]
He’ll recommend a particular location where they have the rise to their backs and can see down both directions of the path.
<.>
Also no arguments from anyone, and Rin and Dima both appreciate the trees.
As does Liv, who might do some perching near the top so she can keep an eye out while conserving flight energy.
[dm: oh is dima going to harvest anything? or loot?]
Dima is absolutely going to attempt some harvesting, starting with OG Lie Rock fucker, and will take a look for loot while he's at it.
He will do this only aftER checking in with and doing some bandaging on Fae (which also includes telling Fae how well he did and how thrilling his magic was to witness).
[dm: The OG Lie Rock is the only one that is actually a being; the other two were awakened boulders. So! Make an Arcana check.
