Lucendar's Survival PbP - Welcome to the Slaughter!

Menas throws his javlin at the uninjured archer while moving with Justified and retrieving his last throwing weapon.

Throw to hit 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Move to S4, javlin in hand and shield ready.

Sorry for the delay, I could not access the site yesterday and the map this morning. I will post right now

Quain moves to Z, -1 to open his line of fire towards the second archer

Single bow attack, 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20, damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Dot...

Dotting to get the thread showing up for me again.

I am here.

I need Kwin's Round 2 action. Since I don't want to run the monk, I will rule that Haterivet is hanging back, instead of engaging them so scratch his Round 2 action.

If Hat is hanging back could i change my action to attempt to finish off the injured archer, i'd rather we only get shot once rather than twice.

I believe for round 2, Kwin was moving to U-5.

Round 3: Orcs' Turn

The Orc archer in L3 shoots Menas:
1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

The Orc in O11 shoots Justified:
1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 9

The orcs forming the defensive wall change tactics, draw javelins and throw them at Justified, dropping him!
Attack #1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Attack #2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The orcs with the prisoners are no longer in sight, disappearing into the depths of the cave!

Summary of damage:
Orc in L3: -15
Orc in O11: -13
Orcs in R & S 9: Unharmed
Justified: -9-9-7 (-25)
Quain: -4
Menas: -9

Updated Map

Party is up!

Just one question about the two orcs that threw javelins. Have they dropped their falchions or sheathed them?

I'm guessing i couldn't change my target for the javlin due to Hat disappearing, so i take a 7 point hit due to damage reduction.

Menas hurls his last javlin at the orc that injured him while covering himself with his shield.

Fighting defensively, AC 22
Javlin vs L3 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 4 = 20
Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Crit threat 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 = 18
Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Then rushes to place himself between the Orc's and Justified, setting his feet and adopting a defensive stance...

Move to S7

Just one question about the two orcs that threw javelins. Have they dropped their falchions or sheathed them?

Neither, they gripped their falchions at their sides with one hand, while they drew and threw their javelins one handed and then re-gripped them.

Quain drops his bow and charges towards the falchion wielding orcs, drawing his weapon while running and trying to kill the closest orc.

Drop the bow in Z, -1, then charge towards U7 drawing my guisarme, attack orc in S9 with charge and PA 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 23, damage2d4 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 5 + 3 = 13, AC is now 14.

Seeing the melee finally engaged, Kwin continues to close to do his part, while staying out of the heart of it.

Double move to O-0. That should be "Oh-zero" if it is not clear.

Guys - I was not seeing any new posts here. Sorry for my delay. I'll read up and post. Hate it when this system fails to show that there are new posts... Thanks for the heads up Ego

I have gone back and re-read 100 posts. I have reviewed my character. I am now ready to play. So, let me please try to correct your impression of my AC one more time. Justified's AC is 20. You are hitting the hell out of me anyway but my AC is not 18. My dex is 14 for +2. My breastplate is enchanted at +1 for an AC of +7. And my weapon, when wielded in two hands provides a shield bonus of +1. My stats say its 20. I am not sure why you think otherwise. Based on this please reconsider those javelin throws.

Justified: I get the Dex and AC from the Breastplate. Where does the +1 shield bonus for wielding the weapon 2-handed come from? It's not from the weapon or your traits or feats or your archetype, so I am confused. At no time, did you state you were using combat expertise, so please let me know. Maybe I missed something. If your AC is 19, both attacks would have hit this round and nothing is changed.

OK. I am wrong. I have a PFS character with the same name. He uses a meteor hammer, which does give the +1. guess it has been too long. It appears you do not need me after all. Someone MP me when/If I am up again. Wish I had at least gotten a turn after waiting since May. :(.

Summary of Round 3:
Orc archer shoots Menas, misses
Orc archer shoots Justified, wounds him
Orcs throw javelins, drop Justified, blood seeping onto the ground in a pool beneath his body
Menas throws javelin, critically wounding orc archer in the stomach, but he refuses to die, still standing due to their ferocity
Kwin double moves
Quain charges and skewers orc, refuses to die
Justified bleeds

Round 4: Orcs' turn
Orc archer in L3 moves closer to M4 and shoots Menas, penetrating his defenses, earning a smirk as his arrow lands true! Yet the archer's wounds continue to bleed profusely!
Attack on Menas: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 9

Other Orc archer, not wounded as grievously, moves to M8 and shoots Menas also but his shot is high and misses by a mile!
Attack on Menas: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

The orc skewered by Quain grits its teeth, curses him in orcish, steps 5' toward the ranger and swings his falchion at him, inflicting a grievous wound across the ranger's abdomen!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

The last orc sees the wounded Menas and tries to finish the job, but barbarian's defensive stance deflects the blow at the last second!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Summary: Menas suffers 9 damage
Quain suffers 10 damage

Updated Map
Menas, Kwin, and Quain are up!

Not to be picky but if the rocks and the fire are big enough to prevent my charge surely firing arrows through them provide me with a small cover bonus, say +2? :)

Kwin moves to L3 and makes his presence known to the orc (M4) with an opening slash.

To hit 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

I missed the fact that the arrow's trajectory went through the fire. Sounds reasonable. Arrow missed then.

Kwin moves to L3 and makes his presence known to the orc (M4) with an opening slash.

Kwin's dagger punctures a rib and the orc archer cannot ignore the severity of his wounds and he falls to the ground dead.

That orc must have had 2 hp left then, because everyone knows orcs with 1 hp are invulnerable!

Menas calmly turns aside the advancing orcs falchion with the same smooth shield movement which catches the archers arrow. Seconds later Menas is throwing back his head and howling, his demeanour instantly changed he steps in close to the orc and launches a brutal assault with his cestus and shield...

Drop defensive stance and controlled rage for strength. Menas has +1 to hit and AC as he is in combat with two orcs.

Cestus 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Crit threat 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Shield 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Menas, I suppose you are attacking the Orc in T8 (the wounded one)?

Quain steps forwards cautiously, and attacks one of the Orks with his full strength but keeping his eyes on the other ones.

If Orc T8 is still alive, 5 foot step to T6 and attack Orc T8 with P.A. 1d20 + 6 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 1 - 4 = 20, dammage 2d4 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 + 3 = 11

If Orc T8 is down, 5 foot step to T7 and attack Orc R8 instead with P.A.

AC is now 18

Just noticed i forgot to specify the orc i was attacking, thanks Quain. As we have been doing i'll focus attacks on one orc at a time, so my attacks are on the orc in T8.
