Trying to ignore the many rats nipping at his ankles and calves, Targost targets the small fey creature and fires.

Attack-Ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Ok, so I am free of distraction and entangle for this round, but need to roll entangle for next round. Is that correct?

Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Attack-Ranged: 1d20+6
Damage: 1d8+4

Reflex save: 1d20+2

The fey creature has full cover from the tree she hides behind, so you can't shoot at her. So you want to go for the rats or the dog?

And indeed, at end of turn you have to save vs. the entangle

The dog I suppose..the rats are too close to hit with a bow...sorry I thought she had popped out to cast the spell

AFAIK There's no minimum distance to shoot a bow

oh..must be thinking 3e or something else....I thought there was

Ebon Growls to himself in rage and advances to the wall.
climb: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 4 = 10
Not sure what the DC is, is it a slope or a vertical 5 ' climb. can't imagine it being that tough, I could do it fairly easily. XD. If he makes it up, he will move near the other climb and put away his Greatsword.
" Come Dog! Rawgg!"

It is indeed a slope, so unless you try a standing jump to get to the next level, it shouldn't be a problem. ;-)

The closer you get to the dog, the harder it barks. It seems to get ready to attack if you move any further.

The remsining pack of ravenous rats bites Alexia and Gabriel for damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Gabriel flurries don't all hit, but he manages to take out a big portion of the swarm.

Ghosting Alexia

Distracted and nausiated by the rats Alexia moves out of the swarm, but stays close to Gabriel.

The fey creature supposedly named Gire completes her spell targetting Ebon.

Ebon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Ebon suddenly feels a bit dizzy as everything around him starts to grow!

Ebon has been reduced to the size of a halfling!

"I warned you, but did you listen? NO! Cyflymber's reign of terror will last forever. You will die like that druid Hemzel and his nice cuddely wolf! All your blood will soil the floor and you will stink like death!"

"Dog, attack!"

The dog charges forward to attack Ebon

Targost moves until he can see the tiny fey creature and then fires a mystic blue bolt at her, attempting to disrupt her spell casting.

Am I now out of the entangle area? If not here is my reflex roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Magic Missile Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Magic Missile Damage: 1d4+1

The spellcasting was already finished.

Also your movement is not enough to get you out of the entangle if you move towards the last known location.

I can't believe those rats are still alive! Last 3 times I ran this scenario they could only do damage once.

lol...ok, then I will target the ratswarm with my magic missile...maybe 2 points will do them in....or not!!!

Ok, missle diverted to the ratswarm! They take the blast, but it is not enough to disperse the swarm!

Still in a rage, Ebon squeaks out in his new Halfling sized voice.
" Ahhhggg. Die mutt!"
attack with smaller sword...: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 -1 for strength penalty, +1 for size bonus

And the rats finally bite the dust!

"I have a sworn obligation to protect the forest from interlopers and evildoers. Go away or I'll have to kill you!" a voice calls out from the canopy.

Initiative:

Alexia
Gire
Targost
Ebon
Gabriel

Psst! Didn't the dog fade away? or is another dog? XD

Reminder: As long as you're not flatfooted, you are allowed to speak out of initiative.

Alexia moves out of the area of the entangle.

Reflex vs. entangle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

" I'm not an Interlop-whatsis, nor an evil doer!"

"You're not evildoers that want to cut down the forest and steal our secrets?"

" Ummm. No?" Scratching his head Ebon continues.
" I was told to sweep some floors and plant some trees or somethin' like that. Specifically not to slash and burn!"

Ebon, roll a diplomacy.

If other people actually join in the conversation they can roll a diplomacy check to assist

Wasn't really being diplomatic. He'd just as soon smash as talk, but he was told not to. XD
diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

"Hmm... if that's true Cyflymber lied! Tell me more..."

Suddenly the entangle drops.

Targost surges forward and out of the area of the entanglement towards the small fey.
"Well I am glad you can see reason and talk."

Targost surges forward and out of the area of the entanglement towards the small fey.

"Well I am glad you can see reason and talk."

Entangle has been gone and the small fey is still invisible (she hasn't been totally convinced by Ebon's diplomacy roll), so your action is unclear.

We're currently out of initiative, so anyone can roll for diplomacy and ask questions.

He simply wanted to remove himself from the area of entangle (just incase it starts up again) and get into close reach of the fey creature incase combat restarts

He simply wanted to remove himself from the area of entangle (just incase it starts up again) and get into close reach of the fey creature incase combat restarts

That's what I guessed as well, but the fey is still invisible, so you don't know what close range is. Please do some actual talking/asking questions and diplomacy rolls everyone...

Sheathing his sword, Ebon looks at the slope in front of him, now taller than he is.
" Hey, could ya make me my own size again? This is pitiful!"
He yells as he tries to climb the rest of the way up.
climb: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 - 4 = 12

Targost moves over to where he thinks he heard the fey creature talking.

"Hey there. Glad you decided to listen to us. I could tell you did not really want to hurt us. We really are not bad people, we are just trying to discover who killed the druid Hemzel and where some of his possessions have gone. Maybe you could help?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

"Hey there. Glad you decided to listen to us. I could tell you did not really want to hurt us. We really are not bad people, we are just trying to discover who killed the druid Hemzel and where some of his possessions have gone. Maybe you could help?"

With these words Targost seems to have convinced the fey creature, as she appears just in front of you.

"Hi! I'm Gire, I'm an atomie!"

"Cyflymder said Hemzel was going to lead the humans to destroy the fey! So we pounced and surprised him. Cyflymder and his brutes tore the druid apart. His poor wolf friend too! So much blood!"

Sheathing his sword, Ebon looks at the slope in front of him, now taller than he is.

" Hey, could ya make me my own size again? This is pitiful!"
He yells as he tries to climb the rest of the way up.

Ebon easily manages to climb the hill further.

"Sure I can change you back to your own si..." the atomie interupts herself "Ehhh, wait a minute... Are you really saying small people are pitiful? I'm even smaller, so that would make me even more pitiful? Is that what you're saying?! I think you need to wait it out until you learn a valuable lesson."

Alexia seems ever so slightly amused by Ebon's predicament, but does not let it show. Her characteristic scowl remains ever present.

"Anyone else have a problem with little people?"

Any other questions?
