The Raven Knight |
Come now, friend. certainly you would not deny such a woman her right to her father, a man that braught much good and prosperity to the lands here, to rest the lands near her. That she might visit him as the need arises. Surely you can find it in your heart to step aside, and let us finish this grim business for a beloved father and friends?
Diplomacy:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
I shall also try to move the coffin a little closer to Kendra, both to be able to protect her should anyone try to cause her more pain, and also to hold her back. Will also get good grip on the coffin.
I know only the very basics. I have all the books, but have not read them as I wanted to play this. I have glanced through, but know very little details about anything.
I'll also whisper to Kendra, hoping to encourage her knowing this is likely breaking her already broken heart, Come my dear, let us ignor these men for the moment, and honor your father. Whatever hate and drunkeness had inspired this, we have, . . . more important tasks at hand. No matter what,though, we are here beside you.
Aemrellara |
Aemrellara looks at the mob worried this is weird...
Then she whispers to the other carrying the coffin "They don't look very convinced,to use a euphemism.We can maybe consider starting to lower this coffin on the ground?"
Aid another (Diplomacy)1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 it would have been enough on itself,but only adds +2 to Raven check,taking it to 15/20
Then, while slowly lowering the coffin, to not further irritate the men,she continues after Raven Knight "Please guys,we are all here for a tragedy today,don't add another."
Only Marzio and Raven remaining,and that means another +4 can be add and only if the rolls are good,going to 19/20, not enough :(
Marzio Vinicio di Almas |
Still Gandal here
Aid another (Diplomacy) 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 17/20
"Please my friend, try to be reasonable.A paladin of Iomedae wouldn't be involved with evil, this was a great man,why do you want him out of this sacred grounds?"
While the farmers answer,Marzio whispers back to Aemrellara and Raven Knight "Good idea, let's lower the coffin without damaging it,and if we have to defend ourselves don't harm or kill any of those farmers"
DM Ankoku DaiShogun |
Do I remember anything about necromancy in his lectures or letters? Or even some sort of leaning towards it?
I really need to put more attention while posting.In the bard's post i wrote "only Marzio and Raven".But Raven already acted.I meant "only Marzio and Jaylen",which only leaves Jaylen now
Am working on the map
Jaylen |
The girl remains silent, happy to let the others do the talking whilst she watches the interlopers for immediate threats and any signs of weakness. At the signal of the elf she lowers the casket, glad to be free of it's impediment. Moving slowly to avoid antagonising the mob further, she steps up beside Kendra and leans in close, suggesting the girl move to the back of the procession and not taking no for an answer. She indicates for one of the locals in the group to look after her. Turning back, Jaylen sees that the words of the others have failed; the ire of the mob increased.
Pointing out one of the more-nervous-looking villagers near the back of the angry bunch, she demands he look at Kendra. "You. Look at that girl. Think this is a good day for her? Think that what you're doing is making it any better?" To another, her venom barely disguised, "You. Think you're going to be able to look her in the eye again if you insist on continuing with your actions here?" Pausing, she addresses the group as a whole. "You lot should be ashamed of yourself. On this day do you choose to do this? This young girl...one of your own..." she pauses for effect, "is putting her father into the ground and you take it upon yourself to do this." Lowering her voice, she continues, her tone more neutral. "You lot should take a long, hard look at what you've done here today...and also hope that The Lady Of Graves isn't watching on.".
Her reference to Pharasma - The Lady Of Graves - came from somewhere deep in the back of her mind. She's hoping that the mention of the Goddess of death may weaken the resolve of these overly-superstitious folk.
The Raven Knight |
Knowing that accusation against her father's honor as a scholar would sting her more than anything else, Master Lorrimor was a great man, not a student of evil. You should be more careful with what you say, and the pain it will spread, friend.
I will also lower the coffin, making sure to do so carefully and in unison with the others, even if we get attacked.
back towards Marzio, Agreed, Knight-brother. I will not attack the comman man for such as this. Do you sense any magics clouding their mind or will?
DM Ankoku DaiShogun |
The rest of the mourners behind the pallbearers step back scared,and begin to scatter around;they are obviously not going to enter the brawl.
Kendra moves besides the small group carrying the coffin,willing to help them.
For the first round,all the PCs are busy lowering the coffin, unless they want to release it right away, as a free action.There is a cumulative 40% that the coffin drops crashing at the ground for every PC which leaves all of a sudden.
Aemrellara 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Raven Knight 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Jaylen 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Sajan 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Marzio 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Kendra 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Gibs Hephenus 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Farmers 1d20 ⇒ 5
DM Ankoku DaiShogun |
For the first round only Kendra,Gibs Hephenus and the farmers will act,but the order remains unchanged for all the following rounds.
1)Sajan
2)Jaylen
3)Raven Knight
4)Gibs Hephenus
5)Aemrellara
6)Marzio
7)Kendra & Farmers
I just realised Jaylen wrote earlier she left her place at the coffin.That would have caused to check for the 40% that the coffin crashed on ground.I checked at home and the roll succedeed,so Jaylen is free to act, but i forgot to check her position on the map.Tell me what coord. you want to start at.
Marzio Vinicio di Almas |
soon as it's my turn I try to defend Miss Kendra, I do not know if she can defend itself
In the meantime, I repeat not to harm the citizens.
fight anyone who tries to attack me and attack Kendra, but I make only nonlethal damage
master
Davide sono dannatamente impegnato con la tesi di laurea, conduci tu il combattimento del mio paladino.
Finito tutto curo amici e nemici feriti con il potere di cura del paladino, se non ricordo male basta curare un punto ferita per annullare tutte le ferite debilitanti.
sarò molto impegnato per le prossime 2 settimane per la stessa causa e non so se riuscirò a postare. se non lo faccio per le 11 del mattino fallo tu al posto mio. mi fido di te. :)
Davide is damn busy with my thesis, you lead the fight for my paladin.
I take care of friends and enemies did all wounded with the healing power of the paladin, if I remember well enough to care for a wound to cancel all the debilitating injuries.
I will be very busy for the next 2 weeks for the same cause, and I do not know if I can post. if I do at 11 o'clock in the morning you do it for me. I trust you. :)
Aemrelara |
Aemrelara tries to put the coffin down as gently as possible, while doing this she attempts to diffuse the situation one last time. "Please, Please! This day does not have to end in bloodshed, make this day of solemn remembrance not a day of sorrow."

The young girl curses loudly. Hoping an aggressive first attack will put the villagers to flight, she screams and launches herself at the leader of the mob, dragging a large bladed knife from it's scabbard at her waist as she does so, aiming it squarely at his face. Unfortunately, so intent on making the attack look impressive does the girl swing wildly and merely catches her opponent harmlessly with her forearm.

Gibs Hephenusis up
Faced with an unknown, aggressive girl,Gibs takes on a difensive stance,while emboldening the rest of the crowd to repel the foreigners.
fighting defensively
sorry Jaylen,forgot to answer your question about gibs weapons-he fights with bare fists
Kendra is up
Really angry for what has been said, Kendra runs in defense of her new friends.
moves to I4
casts Mage Armor on herself
Farmers are up
Some of the farmers charges the coffin and the pallbearers,clumsily wielding spades and shovels
two of them attack Kendra:
1d20 - 3 ⇒ (20) - 3 = 17 special-no critical range;damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 non lethal

another two attack Jaylen

I will Ready an Action to intercept any incomming attacks against Kendra or the Coffin.

"These men have gone mad from there hate and ignorance, there's no reasoning with them like this."
Aemrelara draws her rapier and with her bravest voice she starts telling the courageous tale of the Professor vanquishing 50 goblins all on his own. (Inspire Courage)
I would write up the story itself but frankly I suck at it. I will try to do it in the future though.

Jaylen |
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
20" long, from tip-to-tip; 15 of those inches being finely-honed blade, the worn, leather-bound hilt making up the rest, the knife wielded by Jaylen is as much tool as weapon. Noticing he's adopted a more defensive posture, she takes her time looking for the right opening before making her attack.
DM Ankoku DaiShogun |
The farmers menacing Kendra are confused by her stepping back and being replaced by Raven Knight and Marzio.Their farmtools swing uselessly.
I31d20 - 3 ⇒ (2) - 3 = -1 miss
H41d20 - 3 ⇒ (15) - 3 = 12 miss
Meanwhile Kendra has been surrounded by a glowing curtain,and retired behind the paladin and the priest.The girl touches Raven's back and grants him a lucky ward.
standard action-use Diviner's Fortune on Raven Knight,giving him a +1 insight bonus to attacks rolls,ability checks and savings.Lasts 1 round
The commoner closer to the coffin seems uncertain as what to do seeing the elf singer armed with a real sword,and just walks back a bit.

Well then I am counting the squares wrong then, because a 15' spray finishes 15'wide at the end, and from I8(if you count the the square with the letter in it) both targets are in the area of effect as per color spray

Aemrelara continues her inspiring tale of her and the professer, taking one step forward as she gets to the part where she dispatches 3 goblins at once and menacenly brandishing her rapier at the villager.

Ignoring the two villagers to her side, Jaylen steps in, not allowing her opponent to break off from the combat.
Once.
Twice.
She flicks her blade in his direction, testing his prowess rather than looking to connect.
Thrice.
On the last, she shifts her body and, instead of a searching jab with her knife, brings her left fist around.
Throwing all her weight behind it.
Driving it into Gibs' midriff.

It seems the location of the squares are changing :P (I'm now in 10)
Seeing that the effectiveness of his spell was not what he had hoped for, Sajan quickly retreats back to the right of Kendra and points his finger at the farmer to the right of Jaylen(F8 by my count) and mutters a quick arcane syllable.

Posting for Marzio too,he cannot anyway influence Raven's turn.
Marzio approaches the closer thug farmer H4 and knocks him down,or tries to.
farmer AoO on Marzio 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (15) - 3 = 12 missed
Marzio CMB to trip 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 missed
but he isn't trained to such maneuvers,the commoner dodges the paladin's attempt.
