Character/ Class Archetype: Enkili / Battle Master
***15th Level- Hit Dice/ Hit Die Type- / 15 / Average 6+5
Proficiency Bonus= +5
Features: Archetype Bonus.


At 15th level, you gain a feature granted by your Martial Archetype.
Additional ManeuversPHB p73
At 15th level, you learn two additional maneuvers of your choice.
Additional Superiority DiePHB p73
You gain another superiority die at 15th level.
RelentlessPHB p73
Starting at 15th level, when you roll initiative and have no superiority dice remaining, you regain 1 superiority die. (I believe this has to be limited or I'll abuse the heck out of the game )

8d10's of Superiority Dice.

Maneuvers: Goading Attack. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to goad the target into attacking you. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on all attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn.

Bait and Switch. When you're within 5 feet of a creature on your turn, you can expend one superiority die and switch places with that creature, provided you spend at least 5 feet of movement and the creature is willing and isn't incapacitated. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

Roll the superiority die. Until the start of your next turn, you or the other creature (your choice) gains a bonus to AC equal to the number rolled.

Downtime activities

• Obtain any special/rare spell components, such as diamonds for Resurrection and similar spells.
  
• Assist with repatriating the freed ex-slaves. Do any of them need work? Perhaps they could be hired on to help Hubert's business, if he has need of them and if their skills are a match.
  
• Consult with Lord Bercel about our mission and its outcome (I assume this will be roleplayed out as a party during our session, though, so this might not be considered downtime).
  

• Decorative (2) - Exquisite flowers. These are for Blaylocke's use for his opening night play performances, to decorate the theater and/or to be given out to guests or notables as he likes.
  
• Food (2) - Rations.
  
• Herb (2) - Healer's Kits.
  

• 4 Potion of Healing, Greater
  
• 1 Sending Stones
  
• 1 Wand of Magic Detection
  

Bastion Map

Encourage players to create floor plans of their characters’ Bastions, configuring its facilities as they see fit and using the same techniques you use to create dungeon maps.

In addition to basic and special facilities, a Bastion can have the following features:

Closets. A basic or special facility can have one or more closets, washrooms, or similar enclosures. The closets must be inside the facility and can’t increase the facility’s area in squares. These features are free.

Corridors, Ramps, and Staircases. A facility can contain one or more corridors, ramps, or staircases leading to other facilities in the Bastion. These features are free.

Defensive Walls. A character can add defensive walls around their Bastion. A defensive wall is 20 feet high and may include a walkway along its top, with a means to access it (such as a ladder or lift). Each 5-foot square of defensive wall takes 10 days to build and costs 250 GP. If a character’s Bastion is completely enclosed by defensive walls and it comes under attack (see “Bastion Events” at the end of this chapter), reduce by 2 the number of dice rolled to determine how many Bastion Defenders are lost in the attack.

Doors and Windows. Each facility comes with one or more doors and shuttered windows, placed wherever the player sees fit. See “Doors” in chapter 3 for kinds of doors to choose from, including locked doors, secret doors, and portcullises. These features are free.

Blaylocke would like to spend some down time to train to use his thieves' tools if there is time.

Since I didn't consider it last level, would it be possible to swap a cantrip out for another?
I'd like to drop 'Friends' and add 'Vicious Mockery' if I can. Blaylocke is pretty useless in combat when he runs out of leveled spells, this would give him at least 1 offensive spell he could use in those situations. Lol, Really offensive spell that is.

Character/ Class Archetype: Enkili / Battle Master
***13th Level- Hit Dice/ Hit Die Type- / 13 / Average 6+3
Proficiency Bonus= +5
Features: Indomitable (two uses).

Bastion orders:
Barracks- Week 1) Enkili's Security head will hire 4 more defenders and have them trained and integrated with the first four defenders. This should bring defender total up to 8.
Week 2) The last four recruits are to begin training and integration into the defender unit. That tops off the 12 defenders allowed per barrack.
Week 3-6) After everyone is trained, everyone will have a shift patrolling the Bastions, training, then time off the clock every day. (Please ignore the conditioning that are making these fighting men and women fanatically devoted to Enkili. We have no designs for total domination, truly)

Training Area- Week 1-5, the recruits are to take shifts with a Weapon Expert, this is to represent their advanced weapon training. Week 6, the recruits will start training hand to hand skills with an Unarmed Combat Expert to help round out their defender skills.

Stables- Week 1-2) The trained warhorses need 14 days so that animal handling checks have advantage. After trained they are to be stabled elswhere
Week 3-4) Riding Horses are to be purchased and trained.
Week 5) The riding horses are to be sold.
Week 6) Warhorses are to be bought and then trained, this order will take in week 7 as well.

According to the Bastion rules a new facility comes to the characters. Enkili wants a Roomy Pub built.

Dare we risk a long rest in our current position?  Enkili would vote against that action, but a long rest is very necessary at the juncture of this predicament.

When leaving will there still be a garrison to contend with, who will try to prevent our exodus? Should we seek an alternat exit to avoid the garrison if they remain?

I heard a suggestion that we should head for the Angierthan border posited.  Does anyone else think this is a viable plan?

How are we supposed to keep these people together, most of the adult males and hale females may think their odds are better on their own.  Should we let such individuals leave if that is their wish, in the face of our need to protect the weak and befuddled?

Enkili believes that we will be arrested if we head back to Nemsh.  Does everyone else agree, or disagree?  Explain your reasoning, please. 

Post your own questions as well, this is not the full extent of the troubles facing our party at this moment.

Character/ Class Archetype: Enkili / Battle Master
***12th Level- Hit Dice/ Hit Die Type- / 12 / Average 6+3
Proficiency Bonus= +4
Features: Ability Increase -Feat! Martial Adept
PHBp168

You have martial training that allows you to perform special combat maneuvers. You gain the following benefits:
* You learn two maneuvers of your choice from among those available to the Battle Master archetype in the fighter class. If a maneuver you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuvers effect, the saving throw DC equals 8 + our proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).
* If you already have superiority dice you gain one more; otherwise you have a superiority dice, which is a d6. This die is used to fuel your maneuvers. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain your superiority dice when you complete a short or long rest.
Source: PHB, page 168
9) Commanding Presence. When you make a Charisma (Intimidation), a Charisma (Performance), or a Charisma (Persuasion) check, you can expend one superiority die and add the superiority die to the ability check.


10) Disarming Attack. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice that it's holding. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. The object lands at its feet.

I need a determination on using Rally before I make my final choice for Combat Maneuver #10.
Okay, an answer was returned, and Enkili will not be able to misuse Rally as others have. So Disarming Attack will be the maneuver chosen.

In the meantime Enkili would like to help someone with their downtime project.

Too bad rumor has reached Enkili that his grandfather, the High Harbhamit, wishes to use the Sainted Sword for nefarious purposes. The man has always been ruthless, but plotting to have Enkili "Eliminated" as a contender for the family weapon is troubling, if true. All Enkili wanted to do was rescue the little girl then go home.

Character/ Class Archetype: Enkili / Battle Master
11th Level- Hit Dice/ Hit Die Type- 11 / 6+3 take average
Proficiency Bonus= +4 (unchanged)
Features: Extra Attack, 3 attacks per round.

Enkili is going to petition the party for Riah's ring, the ring of Djinni Summoning.
If granted the ring, he will attune himself if required, that would take his second attunement slot.
Questioning Riah will be the first step to learn the bounds of their future relationship. "Will Riah be able to teleport them to Onastia?", for example. Will Riah prefer to be a combat junkie, scout, or lore drop vehicle, or help in another capacity?
Enkili feels he owes the Djinni for his life after a bound Djinni snuck int the City of Bronze to rescue him in his childhood.
