Until the spell ends, any attack you make deals 1d8 extra damage when you hit a creature within 10 feet of you. This damage is radiant, necrotic, or cold (your choice when you cast the spell). Any creature that takes this damage can’t regain hit points until the start of your next turn.
In addition, any creature of your choice that you can see that starts its turn within 10 feet of you has its speed reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.
Attack #1 - To hit: (1d20+10)[19], to damage: (1d8+8)[14] slashing damage, plus (2d8)[9] radiant damage. If the attack lands, smite for an additional (3d8)[14] radiant damage.

Re: Dangerous Old Men & Women (5e, high level NPC combat testing) IC
Hyra's spell causes the paladin's sword to heat in his hands, while Moradin's hammer hits him in the shoulder (26, 8). Jessica's spirits surround her, but her weapon fails to get past the old warrior's defenses.
Lanius summons a Rope Trick and climbs inside to get away.
Merry fires a spell at the paladin, then retreats inside the Rope Trick. A cloud of dust floats off the old man as some of his flesh vanishes.

Re: Dangerous Old Men & Women (5e, high level NPC combat testing) IC
A week ago, the wizard appeared, blasted half the army out of existence, and demanded that the nation submit. You have been chosen to answer his challenge.
He awaits atop a small mountain near the city as you approach. There are no trees, and no cover for any except perhaps Lanius to hide within. He is 700' away, there appear to be several of him (mirror image), and something glowing floats about his brow, while a shield of flames circles his position. The wizard is also sitting atop a broom, some 30' above ground level.

Seeing how far off the target was, and worrying for her sprinting, she utters a prayer to Moradin once more. "Moradin, you blessed me once, now I call on you again! Rend the land apart, that I might bring my hammer to bear against our foe!"

4x 40' radius blast areas, so everyone gets hit. Lanius is invisible, but the arrows still have a visible point of origin and an 80' diameter circle is a nice margin of error.

Re: Dangerous Old Men & Women (5e, high level NPC combat testing) IC
Merry teleports Jessica above the wizard, and falls to the ground. Jessica grabs onto him as he rides the broom.
Hyra runs closer and summons a new celestial, healing Lanius.
He effortlessly slips out of Jessica's grasp (Freedom of Movement), causing her to fall to the ground (2d6)[10] falling damage. He then casts a spell at her, which Merry Counterspells (Counterspelled: Mind Whip). He flies 25' further up and away, firing a mote of radiant energy at Merry.
Spoiler: Crown of Stars mote
Attack (1d20+15)[35] for (4d12+7)[36] radiant damage
This would be the only time he gets +7 on his damage roll with CoS.

Jessica attempts to Dispel the wizard's protections, but he nullifies her spell with a Counterspell.
Lanius gets up and sneaks closer.
Merry casts dispel, and is able to detect the lashings of magic as several spells are broken, but others persist.

Re: Dangerous Old Men & Women (5e, high level NPC combat testing) IC
Hyra's Celestial fires two arrows which hit the wizard. He appears quite shocked to have actually been injured. One of the spells Merry broke must have been protecting him...
He retaliates with an unusually powerful fireball at Merry and Jessica, which Merry Counterspells, followed by a radiant mote, and floats 30' higher into the air.

Re: Dangerous Old Men & Women (5e, high level NPC combat testing) IC
Jessica readies an attack. Lanius fires an arrow which hits. Merry Dimension Doors Jessica up (from outside Counterspell range), swinging her blade and scoring a hit, blinding the wizard as she falls to the ground (fall damage? or Feather Fall?)
Spoiler
Smite and Blinding smite for 33 damage.
He is blinded.
The Celestial would score two hits against the blinded wizard, but he casts Shield, turning them away at the last moment.
The wizard fires a mote of radiant energy at Merry, then ascends and vanishes from view (Greater Invisibility).
Spoiler
Disadvantage due to blinding. Crown of Stars doesn't specify seeing the target.
(1d20+15)[33] or (1d20+15)[31] for (4d12)[39] radiant vs Merry.
Con save end of turn (1d20+2)[15] to end blinding
