Omara Dalaston |
Omara looks back at the others, puts a finger up to her mouth, and beckons them come closer quietly. When she is sure the others have seen her, she turns back to Runa and begins to quietly draw her rapier. In mid-draw, she stops. She looks at the ornately crafted hand guard with sadness for a few seconds, and returns the blade to its resting positions. She reaches back to her pack to pull out the wakazashi she has been carrying. She looks at it thoughtfully for a second, then looks at Runa and nods.
Omara Dalaston |
Omara moves to strike the nearest creature with her unfamiliar blade.
Attack 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 4 = 20
Confirm Critical 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 4 = 14 (Maybe...)
Damage + Sneak Attack 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + 1 = 7
Omara stabs at the creature as she would with her rapier, and learns that it works quite differently.
Úlfheðinn Sigmundarson |
If possible, Úlf will use his surprise round to charge the furthest bad guy, leaving the other to Omara and the rest of the party. If not, he will use his surprise round action to move forward until he can see the bad guys, and then he'll charge the same enemy.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Zaladrel Orain |
Zal will attempt to move towards the creature Omara is fighting with. (We are on surprise so just the move right?)
DM Wellard |
Only Runa and Omara can see the creatures at the start off the surprise round.I'll let the rest off you use the single action to move up to where Runa is.
Omara's strike is more effective than she thought
Critical damage1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 for a total of 11 points.
Ok into round 1
Ulf charges forward and his axe bites deep into the same creature Omara struck. It stays on it's feet but is bleeding badly.
DM Wellard |
Dodge in PF works differently from 3.5 and you get it against everything trying to hit you so no need to specify
if I can get Zal's actions for round 1 can move onto what the bad guys are doing.
The creatures are malformed.
The one you have damaged is almost an albino and has a vestigial head growing from the back of it's neck
The other is grossly fat and it's skin looks like boiled leather.
Zaladrel Orain |
Oh sorry missed that. I will gang up with Ulf since Cinder and Omara see m to be ganging up on the other?
Attack (Charge?)1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 +2 if charge or flank is possible
Damage 1d8 ⇒ 1
DM Wellard |
Zaladrels strike rocks the creasture on it's heels but it still stands.
In their turn the creatures strike back..the first on Omara the second on Ulf
Omara1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 damage 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Ulf 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Runa is up then we can resolve Cinders action and move on to round 2
Omara Dalaston |
Omara reels as the creature's blow nearly knocks the wind out of her. Owwwww! I can still move. I can still fight! Seeing Cinder taking him down, she moves to flank the other.
Attack 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 4 = 20
Confirm Crit 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 = 15
Damage 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7(assuming they have the same AC)
Sneak Attack 1d6 ⇒ 5
Hmm, feast or famine.
Úlfheðinn Sigmundarson |
Ulf laughs when the creature's strike goes wide, swiveling his hips and bringing his axe overhead in a downward chop on the second, muscles flexing strongly as he drops the hammer, as it were, on the thing's head.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 1 = 26
One of these days I'll get a nat-20 on an attack roll...one of these days...then bang, zoom! To the moon!
Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 3 = 13
Zaladrel Orain |
Zal will position himself to aid Cinder to strike. Move to where I think Cinder will be able to flank with me and then I "aid another"...so ideally Cinder will get between +2 to +4 with me standing there.
Cinder the Eidolon |
Cinder's growl rumbles out from deep within sounding much like an avalanche as it moves to attack with the others. It nimbly doges one of the creatures meaty fists. Just before swinging, the creature turns to acknowledge Zaladrel, spinning and slicing with his star to distract it. Seeing its chance, Cinder slices its blade horizontally, level with the thing's chest in a fierce slash.
Aided flanking attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Damage (If that hit, but I doubt it...): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Zaladrel Orain |
Zal will look to the others, Distressing, should I end its path to death in the hopes we might communicate with it?
DM Wellard |
Let me remind you off what the Corbie told you
The Biggies, he says, are big ugly folk taller than a man and very violent.There are only three or four off them led by a female called Matilduh.The Master wasn't pleased when they arrived but let them stay when he saw how good they were at fighting...which they do all the time beating on each other if there is no enemy present.
Omara Dalaston |
Omara sits on a fallen piece of wall, panting a bit, each breath a painful reminder of the wicked backhand she received. We can't just kill him, she thinks. But we can't let him get up and start attacking again. Or call for help. It's not like they attacked us. We...I attacked them first. That's the third time today. Surprise attacking creatures that never did anything to me. That's not how Papa taught me to fight. What's gotten into me?
Omara looks at the creatures on the ground. But still, there's no way I could beat them in a straight up fight. (Sigh) Ow! What have I gotten myself into?
Zaladrel Orain |
Zal scratches at his chin a moment, I recall now that these creature are lead by a "Matilda". We are told in our training that we may send creatures, people and all sorts to meet the Lady of Graves...I suppose this is my first "person" but their violence seems to put us in the right. It's path is set, let us move on.
Úlfheðinn Sigmundarson |
Úlf snorts as he looks down at the creature, narrowing his eyes. "I do not know that these are 'people' any more than goblins were. They have strange look about them." he answers, kicking the strange creature over onto its' back so he can get a good look down at it. His axe is still ready to strike, not yet ready to fully believe that whatever-it-is is completely subdued.
"Has anyone ever seen creature like this?"
Zaladrel Orain |
I'll take 10 on the Kno check.
I had never seen one till now but I agree Runa
Zal casts a sideways glance at Cinder and nods in acknowledgement of the comment but says nothing.
Well we should move on. With the bird men and these creatures roaming about and Desna knows what else we should stay on the move.
How should we do this? Through the main entrance? Scope out the side buildings?
Úlfheðinn Sigmundarson |
Ulf walks to the head of one of the ogrekin, squating and putting his hands beneath its shoulders before looking up to Cinder. "Cinder, help me hide bodies. Is no need to let others see them and know there are intruders."
DM Wellard |
Four stone pillars support the roof of this large hall. What appear to have once been wooden cages lie in shambles throughout the room. A heap of rags and furs in the middle of the room seems to be some sort of makeshift bed, while a large heap of partially eaten birds, squirrels, and wild turnips mounded nearby reeks with the stink of compost.
What draws your attention most however is the brutish looking woman in the middle off the room.Dressed in leather and swinging a vicious looking flail she moves towards the door with a wierd gait.
