[S] Solomon: Deal with Visitors

last we left off:
Solomon used a 16 stealth roll to see who these "visitors" were, and found 10 imps chilling near his front door

DM
The creatures seem quite distracted and spread out; you may be able to attract their attention one by one.
Solomon_Malek
Alright, then let's be smart about this
I back up 45 ft. from the closest creature near the front door and take a shot at it with my bow
!roll 2#1d20+5 stealth advantage
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [15+5] : {20} (1d20+5) [3+5] : {8}
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d8+3 damage
Tyche[Dice]
(1d8+3) [7+3] : {10}
DM
You hit one of the creatures right in the eye, and it runs after you! Roll for stealth.
Solomon
!roll 1d20+4 stealth
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+4) [6+4] : {10}
DM
Another one of the creatures notices you and chases after!
Solomon_Malek
I quickly take another shot at the first creature
!roll 1d20+5 to-hit
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [20+5] : {25}
Solomon_Malek
ooh boy a crit
!roll 2#1d8+3 critical damage
Tyche[Dice]
(2#1d8+3) [4+3] : {7} [8+3] : {11}
18 damage total
DM
Oh yeah, roll to-hit minus 3
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d20+2 against who?
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+2) [15+2] : {17}
DM
Alright
Roll damage?
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d8+3
Tyche[Dice]
(1d8+3) [1+3] : {4}
DM
You hit the first creature again, this time your arrow going right through its head and hitting the one behind it. The first creature then explodes into candy-looking crystals.
Solomon_Malek
I backpedal 30 ft. from the second creature
end turn
DM
The creature runs after you.
End turn.
Solomon_Malek
I fire off another arrow at this creature
!roll 1d20+5
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [10+5] : {15}
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d8+3 damage, knowing that's a hit
Tyche[Dice]
(1d8+3) [1+3] : {4}
DM
The other arrow gets stuck to its head as well, and it just gets angrier. It keeps matching your 30 feet.
Solomon_Malek
I backpedal 30 ft. back again, circling around the house to make sure I don't run out of space
end turn
DM
It just runs after you.
Solomon_Malek
Work smarter, not harder, kids
I fire off another arrow
!roll 1d20+5
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [6+5] : {11}
DM
It dodges this time, still chasing you.
Solomon_Malek
I continue backpedaling 30 ft. to stay out of its range
end turn
DM
It keeps running, trying to Dodge the arrows, circling around the house with you.
Solomon_Malek
I keep firing arrows at the creature
!roll 1d20+5
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [14+5] : {19}
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d20+5 disadvantage
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [2+5] : {7}
DM
It barely dodges your arrow, and keeps running.
Solomon_Malek
And I keep backpedaling 30 ft. away
end turn
DM
It keeps running and dodging.
DM
End turn.
Solomon_Malek
I keep firing arrows, it's what I'm best at
!roll 2#1d20+5 dodge disadvantage
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [9+5] : {14} (1d20+5) [13+5] : {18}
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d8+3 damage since that hit
Tyche[Dice]
(1d8+3) [8+3] : {11}
DM
Roll for stealth, -1
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d20+3 stealth
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+3) [12+3] : {15}
DM
You barely manage to keep yourself silent, when you notice the monster chased you to the other side of the house before going down, and the other eight are within earshot. You hear your father's voice from no place in particular. "Careful with those Imps, son."
Solomon_Malek
"Got it."
I creep around back to the front door and peek inside the house to see where the imps are
DM
They are still in front of the door, a couple scratching on it to be let in. You notice that while the ones you brought down had hands, the rest has claws or pillows or something else. Seems like they really can't get in.
Solomon_Malek
Alright, then I back up to 45 ft. from the nearest imp and let loose a surprise arrow.
!roll 2#1d20+5 stealth advantage
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [11+5] : {16} (1d20+5) [3+5] : {8}
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d8+3 damage
Tyche[Dice]
(1d8+3) [6+3] : {9}
DM
Roll for stealth, see if any others notice you.
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d20+4 stealth
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+4) [16+4] : {20}
DM
Nope, just the one now chasing you. It runs after you with its weird axe hands, you're now at 15 feet.
Solomon_Malek
I backpedal to 45 ft. and fire off another arrow at axe-hands
!roll 1d20+5
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [18+5] : {23}
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d8+3
Tyche[Dice]
(1d8+3) [8+3] : {11}
DM
It blows up as well.
Solomon_Malek
Good to see.
I sneak back up to 45 ft. from the group of imps and take another shot at the nearest one
!roll 1d20+5 to-hit
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [20+5] : {25}
Solomon_Malek
haha crit
!roll 2#1d8+3 crit damage
Tyche[Dice]
(1d8+3) [5+3] : {8} (1d8+3) [7+3] : {10}
Solomon_Malek
18 damage total
!roll 1d20+4 stealth
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+4) [6+4] : {10}
DM
Another Imp notices you, after you killed the one beside it. It runs after you.
Solomon_Malek
I backpedal 30 ft. away from it and fire off an arrow at it
!roll 1d20+5
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [1+5] : {6}
DM
It simply misses.
Solomon_Malek
phew
end turn
DM
You backpedal 30 feet away, moving around so you can't see the front door, and then you hear a bear's roar and the sound of the door opening.
DM
The imp itself just keeps chasing you.
Solomon_Malek
That sounded like it could have been Dad... I hope he's okay.
I fire off another arrow before backpedaling another 30 ft. away
!roll 1d20+5
Tyche[Dice]
(1d20+5) [10+5] : {15}
Solomon_Malek
!roll 1d8+3
Tyche[Dice]
(1d8+3) [8+3] : {11}
DM
You hear your dad's voice. "I got impatient."
The imp goes down with the arrow!
Solomon_Malek
I sneak back to the fray of imps and see what Dad's doing
DM
There's now just a pile of imp loot there.
...0You win!
Solomon_Malek
"Thanks for the help, Dad. Sorry for taking so long with them."
DM
You get 50 XP and 154 Build Grist, plus 30 Birch (T1) Grist!
"Oh, it's fine, I was just bored."
Solomon_Malek
"Okay, and thanks."
