Move me to E13 then and I'll slap E11.

Karthan delevies a diagonal slash to the orc who takes the blow but is still standing.

Symas to act.

edit forgot to post updated map for symas but this does not currently have Karthan move on it.

round 5 map

"Curse you," Symas mutters under his breath at the orc as he backs up again. He aims down the shaft and looses an arrow at his opponent.

5-foot step back and firing at A10.
To hit:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage:1d6 ⇒ 4

I'm still here, a bit lost without a round update post so let me know when my inits up. Its good to be concious.

Symas shoots his bow and hits the orc in the arm this time but it still somehow seems to be standing.

the one following symas still is up and takes a swing at Symas
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 = 9

The orc next to the prone Nesteurk Moves into the area Jondar vacated and then takes a swing at Jondar.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 = 9

The other orc next to Jondar tries to follow Anna and takes an overhead swing at her.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12

The wounded orc next to Chardak takes a swing at the now flanked chardak.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8

crit confirm on Jondar
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 = 9

ow Jondar takes 18 points of damage. Chardak takes 8 points of damage. Symas takes 9 points of damage.

It was fun playing with you all :). When Nesteruk's init comes up-

Seeing his new companions fall around him, the freshly healed Nesteruk grips his axe tightly as he hacks at the closest Orc from the ground, axe held tightly in blood soaked hands. Sadly, he misses once more and closes his eyes as he waits for a killing blow to fall.

1d20 ⇒ 9 -4 attacking from prone included.
1d12 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

+6 to the attack roll if Nesteruk can stand up safely and 5 foot into a flank.

Did any orcs change positions?

crud forgot to post the map

hopefully somehow this won't be the last map.

Orcs E12 and D10 are both out of the fight, correct?

Chardak grunts as the orc's sword bites into his flesh.

yes

-8, unconscious. Will attempt to stabilize next round.

Symas I think you forgot to add hp from Jondar's channel so you are only at -3.

Seeing Jondar go down, Chardak wheels left, swings his sword high and brings it down at the orc there.

Greatsword attack C11 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 ... damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 = 11

Edit: crit conmfirm 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 ... damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 3 = 12

HP remaining 3/11

Okay. Thanks.

Chardak which orc are you attacking? Is wheeling left taking a 5 foot step to E10.

Jondar sees the orc step over Nesteruk's prone body and swinging high at his head. Jondar raises his shield to deflect the coming blow but to his dismay the attack was a feint and at the last minute the blow changed direction chopping down into Jondar's leg. The searing pain was too much and as Jondar fell to the ground losing consciousness he thought, Pharasma judge thy servant worthy to be by your side. Maria, my love I'm coming.

Fort Check to Stabilize: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Greatsword attack against Orc C11. I'm hoping Karthan finishes the other.

Which orcs are left?

The ones without red dots on them notably A13 who is really badly wounded B12 c11 and E11 are up and e11 is wounded. .

I do a five foot step to D-13 and cast cure light wounds on Jondar.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

ERM, I should be in D13

@Karthan sorry messed up map I thought about that then had to leave really quickly. Will fix in next map.

round 7 map.

actually one thing to remember is you cannot coup de grace while staggered without using start complete full round action.

Here is current Init Order. You're up Symas. I'm not sure what everyone current hit points are.

• Symas 18
• orcs 18
• Anna 17
• Jondar 16
• Chardak 13
• Karthan 10
• Nesturuk 9
  

Karthan just said he was in the wrong square and never took actions.

I took my action. I was in E13 and attacked E11. You even posted the results afterwards. I was just wrong on the map.

Nesteruk's still heavily wounded, but is concious.

I believe Jondar is still unconscious even after Anna's CLW. Lost track of his exact HP though.

Jondar is at -1.
Symas in unconcious so I think I should roll to stabilize for him as he has been waiting a while.

1d20 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 8 = -1

oops forgot orcs turn
The orc next to Symas seems to try to line up for an ultimate killing blow on Symas and seems hurt enough from his own wounds to almost be at about the time he is getting the final swing off that will kill Symas yet is still standing at the end.midway through complete coup de grace since staggered.

The orc between the prone bodies of Nestruk and Jondar moves next to Karthan and Anna and attacks Karthan.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9

The orc next to Jondar and the orc trying to finish of Symas moves next to Nesteruk and attacks
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 = 9

The remaining orc next to the two fallen orcs attacks Chardak.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7

Karthan confirm
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

Nesteruk and Karthan take 9 points of damage and several of the orcs appear weaker.

Chardak examines the foes around him and tries to bring down the weakest.

Last round I hit C11 pretty hard. If that's him moving to D12? to menace Karthan and Anna, he would be my first choice of target. If you assigned the hit to another orc, I'll try my luck against E11. The main thing is to try to take one of the orcs out of the fight.

Greatsword 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 ... damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7

Edit; That string of good rolls had to end some time. I just wish it wasn't now.

Ouchies going to wait to see if Anna moves befor shiftin over and flanking with Chardak.

Tark, in the OOC thread , DM-wu gave me leave to 5' step so you wouldn't have to move to flank.

Sorry forgoten map after orcs.

Just FYI Nesteruk is back in the realm of dying after that last hit.

Still going to wait for everyone to get their actions in since nearly everyone goes before me.

Attack Orc @D-12
Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 2 = 19
Damage Cestus(B): 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Chardak swings hard at teh orcs head but misses. Anna hits the wounded orc but is still does not come to the gournd but starts it losing even more blood. Karthan and stabilization rolls to be made if nesecary.

Bellowing a battle cry KArthan shakes off the blow and slices into a nearby orc with his Bardiche.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Think that's like the 5th one I've rolled today in as many games.

So....we're boned. I think we could have gone in a little bit smarter.

That 1 really sucks right now.

The orc comes down on Symas dealing the critical blow ending his life.
4d4 + 8 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 3) + 8 = 20

The orc between the prone bodies of Nesteruk and Jondar attempts to trip Chardak who gets a swing in.
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 3 = 10

trip attack
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

The On the the other side of Cahrdak takes a 5 foot step not tihnking well badly wounded takes a 5 foot step and swings at Karthan.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 = 6
The remaining orc attacks anna
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12
Karthan takes 6 points of damage and Chardak is now prone.

Down at -4.

Chardak snarls as he goes down. Seeing Anna still standing he shouts, "Run, woman!"

He struggles to his feet... Drawing AoOs no doubt. And if he survives that...
steps forward, and swings clumsily at the orc nearest Anna.

Greatsword 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 .... damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 1) + 3 = 9

One more good round and we might have survived, but the dice turned on us. Oh well, maybe Anna can get out.

The orc between Chardak and Anna swings at Chardak but tries to take him alive as he seemed to be a heroic warrior.1d20 + 5 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 - 4 = 10

2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 = 6
Then from the strenous activity of making that swing tihs orc collapses.
Not 100% raw but ferocity doesn't stop the taking a point of damage from strenous activity at zero so it makes little sense not to take it while in negatives.
the two orc falnking Chardak try to deal nonlethal damage as well.
1d20 + 5 - 4 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 + 4 = 19
2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 = 6

1d20 + 5 - 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 4 + 4 = 7
2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12

Chardak takes 3 points of nonleathal damage then three point of lethal damage making him unconcious at zero but not dieing.

Chardak raises his sword one last time.

DM_Wu, I'm not sure how the unconsciousness rules interact with this -- "Orc Ferocity: Once per day, when a half-orc is brought below 0 hit points but not killed, he can fight on for one more round as if disabled. At the end of his next turn, unless brought to above 0 hit points, he immediately falls unconscious and begins dying." but I think Chardak may not be out yet.

It says when brought below zero hit points and you weren't brought below zero hit points so it does not work. I can see the same thing working agianst ferocity as that only works when below zero hit points.by a really literal interperation of the rules. Could I make these rules make sense in the context of the game and evolution is that fighting down in family units on tihngs with ferocity will help win battles and help there family survive making it avantageous trait wihch sort of makes sense but the bodies reaction to fight to the death may not kick in agianst nonlethal damage usually.

And crumples when he's hit from behind.

OK. You're the DM. I was hoping to give Anna more of a chance to escape.

Anna does a 5 foot step to C-14
and frost ray him (D-12).
Ranged Touch attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Damage: 1d3 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + (4) = 7

Anna that orc collapsed swinging after Chardak so I will resolve that attack on E-12

Anna shoots a white ray that hits this wounded orc and hits it hard freezing him and then he falls down to the ground. the orc that finished off Symas moves towards Anna. At this time as if spooked by sometihng Karthan's horse lets out a loud and echoing Neigh. The only orc left unwounded says in orc "reinforcements" The orc in A13 moves next to Nesteruk's body as if trying to pick him up but collapses dead on the ground. The unwounded orc drops his falchion and picks up Chardak's unconcoious body and moves 20 feet back as slowed down by the additional weight of Chardak.
