You work that out, I'll stay quiet on trigonometry before I say anything stupid.
Let's take a step back and analyze the situation. I agree with Yulya that splitting up and going after them is deadly. Our strength is unity.
.)Nixie and Olga attack the wolves.
.)If they down them, Cat and me will go after the female bandit and flank her.
.)Yulya casts Toll the Dead Holocaust on the beastmaster if she can fly somewhere to see him.
Ideally we down everyone but the 2 male bandits.
If a wolf survives, Cat has to deal with him. Then she should go into the tree to avoid attacks
I will move out and shoot another poisoned arrow at the beastmaster before retreating into the tree.

« Last post by Kashtan on Today at 03:07:33 PM »oof it was late yesterday and now that i read Yulyas post we should have been more clear. she was meant to target the beastmaster not the troll with Toll the Dead thats why se said to wait after Alices and Cats attack. whatever. we will get him this turn. situation doesnt look good though. Yulyas afraid of running into their trap if we pursue them.
an idea: if Cat can wait for Nixie and Olga to rid her of the wolves she can attack the beastmaster. Yulya will cast a last Double Toll the Dead on him. Alice can tackle the female bandit. she should be in reach.
edit
Yulya realized shes got no los to the beastmaster but tupper is smart and knows she can fly with Heavenly Wings. Also deals +2 radiant dmg. how tall are the trees? can Yulya get somewhere with her 30ft flying speed where she can see the beastmaster? then she will use her ring of quick casting to deal 2xToll the Dead +2 radiant damage frpm her celestial transformation. That should be enough. I hope.

« Last post by Wofl on Today at 10:57:18 AM »[Round 5] I made adjustments to the previous two rounds to account for Cat's rage damage bonus (+2), there was no change to the outcome for that; however, I also didn't take into account Cat's Sentinel feat which should have allowed her a reaction strike on the Troll. So I chose to roll and she did hit but because her reaction comes after the troll's attacks, additional damage was done to the troll without additional modifiers like HEAVY. The result does not change the outcome.
Yulya casts Toll of the dead on the unconscious troll once again. [SAVE WIS vs DC15 1d20=8][DMG WOUNDED 1d12+3=4] A sickly gray energy surrounds the troll from the spell amid the chiming of a dolorous bell, doing minimal damage.
With 3/4 cover to the beastmaster, Alice fires a poison arrow. With a flash of green energy the arrow is blown off course and misses harmlessly, the beastmaster had a triggered spell effect: WIND WALL.
A torrent of wind surrounds him in a torus making it impossible to strike him with normal missiles.
Cat's life-giving force on Alice, 2d6=4 Alice gains 4 temporary hit points, then she rushes the beastmaster, breaking into the wall she immediately is hit by the force of the wind.[STR(A) vs DC12 1d20+4=(21,10)][DMG 3d8/2=2 bludgeoning damage, given Cat's Rage she is resistant to Bludgeoning damage so she takes 1HP damage] She dual attacks with her claws and nick (3 attacks, one from a bonus action due to the LIGHT attribute of her claws). [HIT vs 15+5AC, 15AC 1d20+6=(21,CR,24)] With the sound of shattering glass, his temporary magic shield spell is dissipated by Cat's first hit, she's able to penetrate it's +5AC with ease, and with an amazing show of skill Cat manages all three hits, one of them critical! [DMG 1d6+4+2R, (1d6+4+2R)x2 + Wound and Exhaustion, 1d6+4+2R = 7+18+12=37 damage!]
He's surprised by her attack leaving him with a wound on his right leg which will slow him by 5ft, and with Exhaustion 1 his speed is lowered an additional 5ft and he loses -2 from his proficiency on attacks.
Ashley has Nixie hold the Troll and wait then casts Summon Mechathereal Lynx and sends Olga South.
Olga races south toward Cat but seeing her damaged by the protective wind surrounding the beastmaster, she hesitates. [Olga's HP is low enough that she would likely die if she tries to attack the beastmaster.] However, once Cat's attacks land, the Beastmaster loses concentration on his spell and is vulnerable.
The man on the wall sees Olga but can't get a clear shot at her so he fires at Cat. [HIT vs AC15 1d20+2=5] His bolt misses her.
The beastmaster disengages from Cat as a bonus action and calls fourth the forces of nature to aid him casting CONJURE ANIMALS.
Four lesser winter wolves appear between the beastmaster and Cat and attack with pack tactics and advantage.
[Note: The trail the Troll made is now compacted snow and is no longer difficult terrain.]
Olga gets the jump on one of them as they approach and Nixie sees this and can't wait around on an unconscious troll, she flanks the wolf with Olga. [HIT vs AC13 1d20+4=(9,23)][CON vs DC14 1d20+1=15][DMG 1d4+2=3] Olga does minimal damage.
Nixie attacks with her claws, [HIT vs AC13 1d20+4=(20,CR)][CON vs DC14 1d20+1=12][DMG (1d6+3)x2=18] Nixie's attack downs the lesser winter wolf! Then using Action surge, she moves and pounces on a second wolf, flanking advantage with Olga.
[HIT CLAW vs AC13 1d20+4=(24,22), GRAPPLE vs DC12 1d20+2=15, CON vs DC14 1d20+1=6][DMG (1d6+3)x2=16] MVP Nixie downs another wolf!
The two remaining winter wolves attack Cat [HIT vs AC15 1d20+4=(14,20)(6,19)][DMG 1d6+2+1d6+2=9 Piercing Cold damage][CON vs DC11 1d20+3=17,15][Cat does not have resistance to piercing 'cold' damage with rage] Cat is chilled as she takes 9 damage.
If that wasn't bad enough, the other two bandits approach and join the wolves in their attack with their hunting bow and crossbow. [There is a woman and a man, the woman has a crossbow the man has a hunting bow.]
[HIT vs AC15 1d20+2=(12,18),(4,12)][DMG 1d10=2 piercing but cat is resistant with rage and takes only 1HP damage. She is now at 31, Alice is now at 13+11]
[The dice are too kind to you, don't get complacent, make your moves.]

Alice moves SW into the thicket of the tree as far as she needs to be able to see the beastmaster but as close to the troll as possible and as deep as required to gain full cover. Ideally 5ft S of the troll. She carefully pulls a poisoned arrow from her quiver and shoots it at the beastmaster.

« Last post by Wofl on Today at 08:01:44 AM »Interesting question - can I take the ballista from the troll? I guess it's too heavy.
Also how far SW do I have to move so I can shoot the beastmaster while having full cover?
The ballista is 500lbs. Vanilla: you can drag up to 15x your strength score and lift up to 30x but then can't move. In our game you take your maximum (180 lbs) that's the maximum weight something can be for you to drag it the speed at that weight would be 10ft or 1mph, then to lift it (something like tilting it up, not dead lift) you could double that 360lbs.
To get LOS on the Beastmaster, you will almost surely have LOS to the man on the wall.

« Last post by Cat on Today at 04:46:23 AM »Cat again uses Life Giving Force while Alice is close. With Feline Agility she dashes SW and attacks the beastmaster in opposite position of the bandit with the crossbow. She attacks him with her claws with Nick.

« Last post by Yulya on Yesterday at 06:27:29 PM »Both relieved that the troll is defeated and worried the beastmaster could bring him back Yulya moves 15 ft southeast and casts one more round of Toll the Dead on him after Alices and Cats attacks
Great work Ashley! Make sure Nixie does not release the troll and keeps him grappled. He could be revived any time!

« Last post by Kashtan on Yesterday at 06:03:58 PM »Yulya is still too far north and should have moved 10 ft south 2 turns ago.
shes gotta get east enough to be out of the reach of the bandit but needs a line of sight to the beastmaster
Yulya waits for the other attacks to connect then takes her Goblin staff and with Darans Ring of Quick Casting casts 2x Toll the Dead on the monster. After the attack is finished she moves 10 ft S but makes sure she stays in cover of the tree and out of sight of the bandit.

« Last post by Wofl on Yesterday at 05:43:44 PM »I've achieved 100lbs on each arm for so many exercises, all pull, and yet on a few only 50 each arm, specifically overhead, side pull down, and shoulder exercises. So that's where I'm concentrated. To give a sense of how far I've come, when I first did side lateral rise last fall, it was 10lbs per hand, now I can comfortably do full nice form with 35 and beast mode 50
For triceps, I was at 60lbs in February and now I have good form at 100 each but it really strains the wrists so I'm working wrists, I'm up to 40 on the wind up thing I made and switching to 50 soon. I bet I could do 50, so I'll try.
I also got a hand strength trainer, got 125lb grip strength on the scale tester.
