"Aw, the little girl's in trouble."

Alanya double moves, ending up SW square of Draxen

Chyras doublemoves, ending up at the square north of Draxen

As you get closer to the water, you can see that the current would require a strong swim to get through...or a large creature.

"You see that big bull-man, Little Miss Smiley Britches? I want you to go eat him. I'll make sure you're more protected than last time."

LMSB: Double Move
Desiree: Move Action: Move
Desiree: Standard Action: Cast Shield of Faith on LMSB

Ray will move 30' and casts Divine Favor..

strong swim to get through...or a large creature.

Or a decent acrobatics check.

Of course

The minotaur dashes forward, his head down, finally having caught the halfling, he moves to gore her, frustration showing as he does so.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 = 18

Janira takes a vicious hit from the minotaur and falls, unconscious and bleeding.

Init Order

Peran
Drax
Janira
Chy
Ray
Minotaur
Anfial
Desi

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Peran will struggle through the brush and ready to spend an arcane point and cast color spray if the minotaur gets within range.

Will 18

Alanya increases her pace, determined to jump over the river.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Should cover it

At the other side she stands in a defensive position.
Total Defense, AC now 19

"Janira! Damn, don't take unneeded risks, but try to save de girl."
Chyras moves downward, ending square SW of Peran, he readies acid splash.

It's a bit out of initiative, but I went ahead and made my double moves for both characters, since I'm going to be afk most of the weekend. Little Miss Smiley-Britches has a swim speed, so I think she'll be fine in the river but let me know if you want a roll.

Draxen fires a shot at the Minotaur hoping to draw its attention from the downed halfling.
"Hey ugly,why don't you come after a real challenge."
Using Deadeye and focused shot deeds.
Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The minotaur grunts and turns to look at Draxen as the buleet tears into it's flesh. Waiting on Ray, then Minotaur will actually move

"Unless someone else is willing or capable of 'ealing Janira, make sure de bull isn't after me. I'll circle around if possible and tend to 'er if given a chance."

Sorry, busy weekend..

Ray will mvoe up 30' knock an arrow and send it flying towards the beast..

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The arrow does cut into the minotaur and he gives a little grunt before moving as quickly as he can. Very quick considering his bulk. Seeing one among the group has crossed the river, he decides to take her out first. Dropping his head, he rushes towards Alanya.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 = 14

Alanya's preparation to defends saves her, as she looks like a matador sidestepping the horns of the great beast.

Party up!

Ray moves up and fire's again..

Attack+PBS: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Yikes, that would have been a 1 hit banishment back to her own crib. +11...for real? :/

Chyras had acid splash readied, since the bull's in range...
Acid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Confirmed miss...

Normal round
Fire crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Alanya dodges nimbly as the axe swings by her.
Pissed off she lashes out at the bull.

Claw 1 w/pa: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 1 = 21
Dmg: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10
Claw 2 w/pa: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 1 = 16
Dmg: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13

GM:

Double move forward.

Peran will finish pushing his way through the brush and spend one of his arcane points and fire a color spray at the Minotaur.

Will save DC 18

The bull has taken a good chunk of dmg. Will we be having a BBQ at the end?

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

The group lays into the minotaur, seemingly endless attacks upon him all seem to find purchase in his flesh until the spray hits the minotaur and he seems to shake it off.

Giving Drax and Des a bit more time and then we'll push into the next wave...

By the looks of things he has taken 40 damage thus far, just as an fyi

The crocodile finally waddles up to the minotaur and attempts to take a bite out of him, while Desiree wards herself then crosses the log.

"FOR Lord Masamura... BANZAICharging the minotaur he has just challenged Anfial blade bites deeply.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 201d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 DR/1

Draxen reloads his pistol and draws his cutlass as he moves past peran.

Peran cobbles together his last spell and arcane point to cast a potent burning hands at the minotaur.

Fire Damage: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) = 10
Reflex DC 15 for half.

The crocodile's bite is enough to tear the crotch from the minotaur, dropping him and leaving him in a bloody pile of wounds from the beating the group had given him.

Upon inspection, it appears that Janira had stabilized without the help of the group, though she is still unconscious and badly injured.

"Good, she isn't dead. Unfortunately, i'm no cleric. Does anybody 'ave some 'ealin magic?"

"I have her wand.. Let's see here.."

2d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 2) + 6 = 16 2 taps..

"Anyone else injured?"

The heals go off and Janira's eyes shoot open, "RUN!!! IT'S GONNA EAT ME!!!!" She looks rather frantic.

"Non girl, it's quite dead. Shot, ripped, burnt, missing a 'ead. I'd say you're quite safe as it is."

Taking a deep sigh of relief, she sits up and looks over to the smoking corpse. "Well, seems I underestimated you. Did you find anything good in the cave?!?"

"A gillman. 'yroglyphs of sort and a few zombies while we were at it. Seems de gillmen 'ave a sacred spot in dere."

We should bring you there, that you can have a look for yourself. Are you already strong enough to stand up. If not... I could carry you!"

"There was a pool that I didn't let Miss Britches swim in and there was a miniature city."

Peran pulls out his notes and reads some highlights to Janira

"Old aquatic cave carvings, currently mossy... Gilman and shrine to Aroden, wall carvings about the 12 guises of Aroden, maybe different from current book, need to research further..."

Peran shows Janira a very crude map of the caverns and then reads some more notes.

"Half vampire planned to raise gillman army to conquer absalom, lost control of undead. Aroden's power still lingers in the cave, but just barely."

"Wow! You guys sound like you did great. What did the gillman tell you? You didn't kill him did you?"

"I do not kill people who peacefully pray. He told us for one, that he and the other gillman worship the pool because of his pure water at full moon. Because the moon would have effect on the waters." Matsu shrugs."I am not knowledgeable in this fields. But he also said that the miniatur city is an altar to aroden and that people still come and pray. I wanted to do so before, but we decided to search the cavern first. Luckily we did. For you. But back to the miniature city. We found descriptions for four of arodens aspects, farmer, solder, beggar and scholar. As I said before I would like to pay my respect to the old god and if anybody wants to join me?"

Any final comments before I do some wrap up?

Is there anything still to do? We found the hyroglyphs saying we should do some things. We found the city. We still haven´t done those things. Matsu would like to do those. Like light a small fire in the city and see what happens.

Not really no.

Any final comments before I do some wrap up?

Just thanks to you, and to everyone else for pushing through the dead time. I know how hard it is with a new baby, and it would have been very easy to just not finish...but we did it!

How do we get our Sheet`?

I'll work on the closing and the sheets in the next 24 hours, and get the rolls for the boons, too.

Nice thank you

Yes,

Thanks for hosting the game GM.
