(you may set the place on fire.......if you have any direct damage you can do to the injured one that would be awesome, she's hiding because she's hurt, or disrupt their casting abilities.)

(how about this, I do my actions, after I yell to Ismark to follow me and Luraxt can wake up Grahf, that will give the 2 fighters to get in between the enemy and player spell casters.)

(@everyone - Snerps pretty much screwed right now till the spell wears off. Don't think anyone in the group has anything to remove the paralysis. Hopefully they don't attack him and are aggro'd up the stairs to deal with the more prescient threat of everyone else. XD)

Eikka fires another guiding bolt(using a level 2 spell slot) at Offalia, then moves back up the stairs out of sight.

(stay up the stairs, the ranged can move forward, fire when in LoS, then move back behind Grahf and Roberts. Ranged focus on Offalia, Grahf and Roberts either attack the first Hag that comes up the stairs, or use dodge to help avoid their attacks as ranged focus Offalia down.

If we can take one out, they lose most of their abilities.)

I'm back on line and caught up. Buddamoose did just fine with Eikka but if it's not too late I'd rather cast spirit weapon than guided bolt.

Roberts dashes down the stairs and dart around Morgantha to slash at Offallia with his swords.

[Melee Weapon Attack (longsword): d20 (10) + 5 = 15, Miss!]
[Melee Weapon Attack (shortsword): d20 (8) + 5 = 13, Miss!]

Luraxt moves to the top of the stairs and wakes up Grahf.

Snerp breaks free of the spell holding him in place.

[Snerf Wisdom Save (advantage): d20 (15, 20) + 1 = 21, Saved!]

(Awaiting Grahf's actions)

@TheDredPriateRoberts
(@Roberts: The melee attack built into green-flame blade is a single attack. But, the damage it does scales better than dual weapon fighting)
(@Earth: You can attack with the sword or toss it, but not both)

Grahf leaps off of the stairs and swings at the wounded hag, but the complex maneuver results in him missing.

[Melee Weapon Attack: d20 (4) + 6 = 10, Miss!]

Eikka summons the will of Zud which manifests itself in the form of a bizzare weapon shaped like an interrobang. The curved and straight blades spin around, attempting to slash at Offalia.

[Melee Spell Attack: d20 (12) + 4 = 16, Miss!]

Eikka then follows the spell up with an eldritch blast.

[Ranged Spell Attack: d20 (4) + 4 = 8, Miss!]

Ismark descends the stairs to take Grahf's place and fires a crossbow bolt at Offalia, but misses.

Morgantha: Oohee! More to play with! The hag lets out a horrendous screech as she casts a powerful spell.

[Grahf Wisdom Save: d20 (12) + 2 = 14, Failed!]
[Eikka Wisdom Save: d20 (15) + 4 = 19, Saved!]
[Roberts Wisdom Save: d20 (1) + 2 = 3, Failed!]
[Snerp Wisdom Save (advantage): d20 (3, 12) + 1 = 13, Failed!]

Grahf, Roberts, and Snerp find themselves frozen in place.

Bella fixes her black eyes on Eikka. Not getting away that easily, my green skinned dear!

[Eikka Wisdom Save: d20 (17) + 4 = 21, Saved!]

Once again Eikka resists being put to sleep. Bella curses.

In response, Offallia unleashes more bolts of force at the half-orc.

[Eikka takes 12 force damage]

Through sheer force of will, Roberts breaks free of the spell.

[Roberts Wisdom Save: d20 (17) + 2 = 19, Saved!]

(Luraxt, Eikka and Roberts to submit next set of actions)

(Different spells have different casting times. Green-blade flame has a casting time of "1 action" so casting that spell will use your action for that turn. However, the melee attack is built into the effect of the spell. When you cast it, you make the melee attack at the same time. If it hits, then a secondary target will automatically take additional damage. To compare GBF with dual weapon fighting:

DWF: Two attack rolls +5 each, 1d8+3 damage on the first attack, 1d6 damage on the second.
GBF: One attack roll at +2, 1d8+3 damage on the first attack, 0 bonus damage to a secondary target.

Now, I say "0" because the extra damage is equal to your spell casting ability modifier which is intelligence which, for Roberts, is 0. However, this damage scales. At level 5, you get a bonus 1d8 damage to both the primary attack and the secondary damage. This would make it:

GBF: One attack roll at +2, 2d8+3 damage on the first attack, 1d8 bonus damage to a secondary target.

The TL;DR is, right now GBF is probably not the best use of your actions, but once you hit level five it'll be a trade off between accuracy and lots of bonus damage.)

Attack Offallia with the spirweapon and eldritch blast. Die you wizened old trollop! This is followed by a spate of orcish curses I dare not repeat in English.
