Round 2

Kyson moves 30' in the air towards the church.

Standard action will depend on what he sees. What is going on? How many baddies are doing what where?

Round 2

Khazmia casts fly and hurries after the others towards the burning building.

Seka, there is one window, six feet off the ground (which will require a Climb checks to reach, plus put you at risk of fire). There's also a door.

"Help, I'm trapped in here!" a voice calls out in response to Linah. Holding off on resolving the other R2 actions to get Seka's action.

Holding off on resolving the other R2 actions to get Seka's action.

Kyson hasn't finished his turn, he's looking for more information on what is happening at the church. He has several medium range options but needs more info, including distance to after his 30' air walk.

Whoops, sorry. It's also about 300 feet. There are five pirates assaulting it -- two apparently breaking windows and looking in, and three using a makeshift battering ram on the door.

Could Kyson envelop them in a 20' radius wall of fire? Or would a wall of fire springing up in front of the doors (heat side away from the church)? Or are they all within fireball formation?

Given that the distances are different than what I thought, Kyson will instead run 90' towards the church. He'll be within 210' at the start of his next turn, then within 180' (and hence medium range) for his next turn.

Kyson runs in the air towards the church, really really angry.

p.s. What time of day is it and what direction is Kyson approaching the church? Please say from the West at about 5pm.

It is probably around 5 p.m. but I would say you're approaching from the northwest. You could probably get three of them together in a fireball or wall o' fire, but the other two are both on their own.

Sekathral will soak his turban in seawater, wrap it around his face, then try the door. If it's impassable, he'll climb in through the window.

Climb: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Unless I’m stretching the confines for my round action…

”Wait!” Linah says when she sees Sekathral trying to enter the building. ”I can ward you from some of the flames.” She touches Sekathral on the shoulder and speaks a blessing in kelish. The magic spreads a pleasant warmth through his body.

Cast Resist Energy (fire) on Sekathral

Round 2
Zstelian continues running toward the half orc as Kayle speeds ahead, closing half the distance in a seeming blink of the eye.

Kyson bravely rushes off on his own toward the church under siege, though the door still holds against the pirates' battering ram.

As Khazmia rushes toward the burning building, Linah races toward Sekathral and endows him with protection from the flame. The door being blocked, he scrambles through the high window into the smoking inferno. At the far end, he can see a woman huddled in a corner as far from the flames as she can get.

Round 2

"Come on, missis - let's get you out of here before we're both ****ing barbecue"

Sekathral will attempt to hustle the woman out, carrying her if needs be.

Linah tries to climb after Sekathral. Failing that she calls out to the person trapped inside in hopes to calm the woman. ”Try and stay calm. Help is coming! ”

Climbing roll: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Round 3

Kyson will run another 90' towards the church, raising up another 5' in the air (to 25'). I figure he's about 120' away.

Khazmia flies with all she has after the others towards the temple. double fly, 120 feet. How far out does this put her?

Round 3
Linah clambers up to the window, carefully avoiding any fire, in time to see Sekathral escorting the terrified woman out.

Khazmia closes on Kyson, near the church -- where the group of pirates are retreating a short ways to make another run with the ram. Both of you are about 120 feet away.

Zstelian continues his own run, on the ground, toward the half-orc as Kayle arrives close enough to dive bomb the hulking half-orc. Her attack catches him by surprise, and she easily avoids his attempt to slash her as he breaks off his pursuit of the woman. Zstelian is 150 feet or so from the fight.

"You're almost there", Linah encourages the woman and does her best to assist Sekathral with getting her out of the burning house.

"I thank you for you help. You saved this woman's life. I could not have done what you did.", Linah tells Sekathral. "We need to get to the others." She says and starts running towards the chapel (#3).

Zstelian continues sprinting while Kayle tears at the orcish raider.

Claw (Favored Enemy): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 = 12

Claw (Favored Enemy): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Confirming: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Bite (Favored Enemy): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Damage: 1d4 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 13

Sekathral tells the woman, "Listen, I'd go over to where those other coves are huddled around that bloody pier and stay there, if I were you", salutes Linah, then draws his pistol and runs over to where the pirate leader's contending with the colonists, attempting to come up on his blind side.

Double move to the alley behind #5

Sorry for the delay. Got Conned. Posting for Khaz.

Round 4

Both Kyson and Khaz run 90 in the air towards the Church, preparing next round to cast massive spells upon the assualtants.

Sorry for the delay all. Not sure how I managed to not update any of my games since Wednesday! Guess I didn't realize I needed a little break there. Back to it now, though!

Round 4
The woman Sekathral rescued nods and begins retreating as he draws his pistol and starts to run toward the fight near the well. It's about 450 feet, so 370 more to go.

Linah plunges off in a different direction, racing toward the chapel 240 feet away, where Kyson and Khaz are getting close enough to feel the flames and see the three pirates fail again to batter down the door. 90 feet away

Zstelian continues his race toward the center of town, but he breathes a sigh of relief as he hears Kayle screech in victory, the bird's talons and beak driving into the half-orc's skull, and laying him out on the ground.

Linah continues to running towards the chapel praying that she is not to late.

Round 4

Kyson and Khaz should be 30' from the Church/baddie area. We were 120' away last round, then ran again to get to 30'.

Kyson, who is now divinely and supremely pissed, introduces the battering pirate to the highest of Sarenrae's spellsmites that he can muster...as a lesson to others who might attack a church...HIS church!

Cast Flame Strike on the three batterpirates and will try to get the other pirates if they are in radius.

9d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 1, 5) = 26 fire/divine damage, DC 20 Reflex for 1/2

"You have knocked on the Door of the Sun's Church! Now you shall feel Sarenrae's answer!! BURN!!!"

Zstelian calls his companion off and rushes forward to check on the girl. "Are you alright? The brute didn't hurt you did he?" the old ranger asks.

Sekathral keeps on running.

Don't suppose clambering over the houses would help speed up the journey at all?

Khaz summons the flame of outrage burning within her soul and aims it at one of the pirates attacking the holy church of Saranrae!

scorching ray 1: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 2) = 14

scorching ray 2: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 5) = 19

ranged touch attack for ray 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

ranged touch attack for ray 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Round 5
Linah and Sekathral race into the village 180 and 310 ft. respectively to go as Kyson and Khazmia arrive at their destination, bringing flaming death onto the chapel's attackers.

One of the two with the ram seems to manage to avoid the young priest's wrath, though the other two take the brunt of the fireball's damage, their skin blistering as they cry out in pain. A ray from Khazmia's spell catches one of the two other pirates assaulting the windows, causing him to scream in pain too.

The two of them who had been assaulting the windows pull out hand crossbow and begin loading them, while the other three prepare for another run at the door.

Nearby, Zstelian reaches the girl, who he realizes is actually a young woman, curly red hair coming loose from its ties amid the chaos.

No! He couldn't catch me and then some bird just came out of nowhere and ... it killed him!" Her eyes widen as she realizes the near escape. "What's going on? They just attacked. Where are the Jade Ravens? And everyone else? And who are you?"

"My name is Zstelian, I'm a friend. That bird is Kayle - she's with me. Do you know Lavinia? She would have arrived with the Ravens."

The old ranger flips the slain orc over searching for anything of value or that might indicate his affiliation.

Sekathral keeps going.

Khazmia moves to set up a lightning bolt for optimal effect and minimal damage.

lightning bolt: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 5, 1, 6, 5, 5) = 29, DC 18 Refl for half

Round 6

"My church! And you shall burn! Suffer for what you are doing!"

Kyson tosses a ball of fire at the lead ram-carrying pirate.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 touch to hit;
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 fire damage.

"Come up here and fight me like a pirate!" Kyson challenges as he draws his scimitar and moves to 10' up from the lead ram-carrier.

Round 6
Two pirates dive out of the way of Khazmia's blast and Kyson's fire, as they rush their ram toward the door a third time, the barrier shattering on the impact and the screams of people inside sounding loudly over the melee. Linah continues to race close, hoping she can arrive in time to prevent a massacre as the pirates get ready to enter the building. 120 feet away

Sekathral continues his plunge forward as well 250 feet, as Zstelian helps the woman to her feet.

"Yes, she arrived recently. But I don't know where she is." She looks around, green eyes wide. "I'm Arli."

Sekathral doubles back, running towards the (closer) sounds of struggle he hears.

Going to help Linah/Kyson/Khaz

I assume there’s nothing worthwhile on the half-orc?

”Good to meet you Arli. Do you have someplace safe you can hide? I need to find Lavinia and the Ravens.”

Some basic gear, but nothing better than you've already got.

Mott, Did Kyson or Khazmia do any damage to the pirates from the fireball or the lightning bolt?

Round 6

Kyson casts Wall of MuthaFreakin' Fire in front of the door, extending it and pushing the flames towards the pirates.

"You want into the church, you'll have to go through me and Sarenrae's Wrath!!!"

Kyson moves to engage the lead sekathral pirate with his scimitar.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 to hit;
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 damage.

Those withing 10' of door take 2d4 fire damage (which Kyson resists), those between 10' and 20' take 1d4. Kyson is standing in front of the wall of fire, being as non-Kysony as he's ever been. You might call him Silvio-ish, except that he's a virgin and has a positive intelligence modifier.

No, Khaz. Kyson threw a small ball and missed. They all made their reflex saves to avoid the lightning.

Round 7
Kyson summons a wall of fire in front of the door, startling the five pirates getting ready to enter before landing right in front of the flaming barrier. Can't attack, as that'd be two standard actions, though Three of the pirates attack Kyson, and though he's able to fend off one, two others take advantage and step to either side, driving their swords into the young guardian. 19 and 8 hp

The last two pirates begin to retreat, but both become targets of Khazmia's wrath, scorching rays hitting both, fatally for one of them.

Sekathral and Linah continue their run through the burning village toward the chapel, getting close enough to see the swords strike Kyson. 60 feet "No! Linah yells.

Nearby, the woman climbs to her feet and nods at Zstelian's question, though she seems to do a doubletake, wiping her eyes almost as if the man appeared completely different than he had a moment before. "Yes, I can hide. Go save everyone else!" she says, running away from the violence all around her.

Did she happen to know where Lavinia and the Ravens might be?

She doesn't. She assumes they're fighting pirates somewhere in the village.

Are there any other nearby crisis's?

The chapel (3) is close by, where the others are congregating. Beyond it, a pirate seems to be making short work of a group of village defenders (5) and near that, a group of villagers seems to be trying to put out a fire in another building (6)

Zstelian takes off at a sprint toward the helpless villagers.

5?

Yeah.

Wow...I totally didn't even realize how much I totally cheated in my last post. I was in the process of moving this weekend, but that's no excuse. I blame Khaz. It's her fault.

Round 7

2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5 fire damage - Since Kyson is fly/standing 5' next to the wall of fire, those attacking him (and within 10' of wall of freakin' fire) take the damage...no evasion there, pirate-suckas.

Kyson relentlessly resumes his righteous rampage of retribution, reaving rends and rips in his rival raiders.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 to hit vs. D3;
1d6 ⇒ 4 damage.

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18 to hit vs. D3;
1d6 ⇒ 3 damage.

Kyson 5' steps to avoid giving another easy flank.

Sure ... cheater. Funny how your thread, Build a Better Hero: Painlord's Guide to Cheating at PBPs, notes to try to take advantage of GMs in just this way!

Round 8
Kyson's defense of the church continues its success as he pulls his blade easily from its sheath and cuts down one of the attackers. The other two each take a final slash at him -- one managing to penetrate his guard 5 hp -- before deciding discretion is the better part of valor and joining their comrade in flight. Khazmia sends another pair of scorching rays in their direction, but they manage to duck out of the way, as Linah arrives.

Zstelian also arrives, along with Sekathral, in time to see Kyson's successful defense of the chapel. The elf nods grimly as Zstelian indicates his goal, and joins the old Varisian in rushing toward the nearby fight.

If they are attacking then fleeing, then Kyson gets an AoO...and they should be within 30 or so feet, one move action away. Plenty of room for Khaz's revenge and Kyson's charge.

Round 8

AoO vs. the one who slashed him:
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 to hit;
1d6 ⇒ 3 damage.

Kyson charges the one that struck him:
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 to hit;
1d6 ⇒ 6 damage.

"HEEEEE-YYYYAAAAAA!"

Kyson finishes concentrating on the Wall of Fire, it will disperse next round.
