Quasi Dungeons and Dragons

Eikka steps towards the priests son and holds out her amulet of Zud. Get thee behind me accursed! She screeches in rage presenting the holy symbol fearlessly.

(Turn undead?)

(I didn't catch your action when I posted the combat thread. Do you still want to cast Sleep? Be aware it is an AOE, not a targeted spell)

I attack Doru with two long swords

(?!)<--amulet of Zud

(Don't vampires retreat from holy symbols?)

(No, not any more, don't need to)

@kindertina: Roger, what would you like to do instead?

@secular: I can neither confirm nor deny. Just clarifying what you are and are not doing.

(Starting with just the holy symbol.)

(Uhhhhh, no? This isnt a Bram Stoker novel my dude 😂😂)

(i gotta say though, you perceptive dog pointing out I'm building a "face" character 😂. That is if you were referring to Shadowrun and the people who are known as "faces" in those campaigns.)

(vampires will regenerate health every turn unless you hit them with radiant damage or holy water. Faerie Fire will give you all advantage on ur attacks 👍. Go get em hotshots)

(don't blow all your smites right away. Space them out to prevemt the vampire from regenerating his health.)

(Btw, the barricade was to stop her from getting out. She's not a vampire and wouldn't be able to break thru when hypnotized most likely. Just so happens it broke the spell. But next step would have been to knock her unconscious.)

(Strahds a vampire and it's daylight. He wasn't in a position to do much fmpov. He was likely taking damage from the sunlight the whole time.)

(There was no indication that Strahd was taking any damage or in anyway hindered by the day time. Also consider that Drow have a very similar sunlight weakness)

(And the Drow has been unaffected? Oh shit, Strahds curse might be affecting the sunlight itself and negating its harmful effects. 😮😮)

(we eventually might have to go to Krezk anyways, because the Abbott there might have a means of weakening the curse so sunlight has a detrimental affect again.)

(Sounds good)

(What's your action?)

Is anyone in my line of fire for burning hamds?

(Yes, but you have enough movement to step in, fire it off, then step back out again)

Okay I will step in fire burning hands, substitute radiant damage, and then step back again.

Luraxt weaves through the front line and opens his hands, causing radiant flames it issue forth. Doru dodges and weaves around them, negating much of the damage, but gets slightly singed nevertheless. Luraxy then returns to his place behind the lines.

[Burning Hands Damage: 3d6 (1,1,1) = 3 radiant damage]

Eikka boldly holds out her holy symbol and utters words of warning, but they seem to have no effect on Doru.

Doru races forward with preternatural speed and grasps and clings ahold of Grahf. Despite his emaciated state, his grip is strong and relentless.

(@Earth: You can't dual wield longswords, so I'll treat it as a two-handed attack)

Grahf attempts to slice the spawn off of his scaly body, but is unable to get the appropriate leverage.

[Melee Weapon Attack: d20 (2) + 5 = 7, Miss!]

Snerp causes the area in front of him to glow brightly. While maintaining his grip on Grahf, Doru manages to avoid the fey lights.

Ireena unsheathes her rapier and looks at Donavich sadly. I'm sorry, father, but this is a matter of life or death.

She darts around to the other side of Grahd and slashes at Doru, leaving a long gash across his arm.

(What happened to Great Weapon Fighting?)

Whatever the case is, use channel divinity.

(Nothing happened to it. It allows you to reroll 1s and 2s on damage if you wield the weapon in two hands. It does not allow you to dual wield longswords)

(Doesn't radiant do double damage?)
