Ha love it!! Had to check to make sure I knew Elven and what do you know, the one language I actually picked. Perfect!
So far my character has shown herself to be a clumsy mamas girl :P

one of my favorite posts for sure.
A couple of important notes I wanted you to be aware of Finwe, both in regards to levitating. This is a houserule of mine, but it is one that a lot of other GMs have. When you are levitating you lose your Dex bonus to AC, which essentially means you are considered flat-footed. This is because levitating only allows you to go up and down, not side to side without pushing off of some surface. Also the language of the spell itself says this,
A levitating creature that attacks with a melee or ranged weapon finds itself increasingly unstable; the first attack has a -1 penalty on attack rolls, the second -2, and so on, to a maximum penalty of -5. A full round spent stabilizing allows the creature to begin again at -1.
So your menacing levitations with scythe in hand, while thematically look awesome, would mechanically be terrible.
Just an FYI for you.
True, I see well, hopefully Quim wouldn't have know Sadira would be worse in the air, and would have been slightly more frightened of her than usual.
Oh and Sadira never put her stuff on top of the carriage, because i never said that so she still has all of her stuff with her, or did we have to put our stuff on top?
So was Quimkithe's perception check high enough to see the enemy, or are they hidden from sight?
You wouldn't have been able to see them until after it was dispelled I'm assuming, but as soon as it was dispelled the arrows came at us
Ya, but I rolled my check right after you cast dispel magic
Should we just get in the carriage and run, using it as cover?
Maybe, but realize that then i would have to drive it, so maybe not
Anyone can drive. Also we would have to shoot back, or I would have to levitate up, so it might just be safer to get in carriage and run.
Does everyone have handle animal trained? Because we would need the person with the highest ac to be the one driving the carriage, and do we move foreward or backwards? I'm not sure what, exactly, we are facing, or what is in front of us, so I do not know what is better, foreward or backward. Also as a side note, I can't transform into my hybrid form with out scaring the horses again, right, @the world around you?
We can use charisma to handle the horses.
Ya but that is harder, but concievable
It depends on what people in the initiative do
Kaze has +4 Charisma and 20 AC if need be.
If Imfazl hopped into the drivers seat how high of a handle animal check would he have to make? If he took a ten,13 total, would that be enough or are the horses spooked making it more difficult to drive?
You can't take 10 in combat on any skill.
Not to mention you can't just "hop" into the driver's seat. You have to get out of the carriage, and then climb into the driver's seat, all told that's two move actions. Believe it or not opening a door is a move action. The Actions in Combat table displays that fact.
Would Imfazl be able to use his standard action to make a perceptions check, seeing as how he got stuck right away? :)
So is it Kaze's turn or does Imfazl have to take the rest of his turn?
If opening the door was his move action was getting out his standard or does he not get off the carriage and not land in the tanglefoot bag?
He already landed in the tanglefoot bag, so guess I'm up then.
Imfazl's move action was opening the carriage door, his next move action was interrupted by the tanglefoot bag, otherwise it would have been climbing the dropdown steps/ladder to get into the drivers seat. As it is, he's stuck.
No need to play my character dueer im her and ready to play
Don't use names and you're up Tamarelle
So, for future reference, if I'm in a similar situation will changing to my hybrid scare away our horses?

Yup, that was kind of what I hoped you'd get from the first encounter with them.

Like Finwe said, this is a public forum. Let's refrain from using each other's real names. From now on, only forum aliases please, and thank you. Also, as Finwe said, Tamarelle is up.

Ugh! Those horses are more trouble than they're worth.
Can i shoot the enemies from the carriage?
You can attempt to get on top jumping over the tangle foot area, but I doubt you can from inside, you are a rogue you would probably stay inside. Especially since Sadira just yelled to get to the carriage, and she wants to use it as cover.
Can i shoot the enemies from the carriage?
Finwe's actually wrong here, Tamarelle can and more than likely would at least fire off a shot at one of the silhouetted figures on top of the plateaus. They are, so far, the only people she's seen. The door, let's say to the east, is open because Imfazl just burst out of it. The other door has a curtained window but, I'd be fine with saying the curtains were open, because previously I said you were all watching the scenery going by. So she can shoot out of either side, if she likes. You are at a decided disadvantage because they are behind cover, which gives them a static +4 to AC, but anything's possible. :) Heck a nat 20 hits no matter what.
alright im going to shoot them but id like to have my updated character sheet with my masterwork weapons ;)

Well darn.
Woops. Sorry about that all. I just sent the updated sheet to SampleText, does anyone else need their updated sheet(s)?
I'm guessing SampleText is at work. Hopefully he'll get a chance to post later this afternoon. As soon as he does, then Quimkithe goes, and then some more baddies.
Edit: Ninja'd by Tamarelle. I think we were posting in the different tabs simultaneously. Quimkithe you're up.
Your good to go quim, i just posted my attack
Your good to go quim, i just posted my attack
For future reference you need to declare a specific target. In this case it would have been an east or west target. Since your attack missed, in this case it doesn't really matter, but just so you know for future posts.
Edit: Also for future reference, you roll damage with every attack, because you don't know if you hit or not. So every time you roll an attack you roll damage.
I know Finwe asked about potential crits. I'll just post an example. We'll have to pretend my first attack rolled a critical whether it does or not.
First you post attack and damage:
At this point you'd hit the "Preview" button to see what happened.
Now let's assume I hadn't rolled a 16, but a 20 for that first attack. Then I'd post two new rolls. The critical threat, and the critical damage.
After that I hit "Submit Post," and I'm all good to go.
As the GM, I'd take a look at that whole post and determine whether or not you actually did confirm your crit based off of the target AC, and make sure you did all the damage to your opponent. Too bad that wasn't an actual attack, I would have done max damage on the first arrow! Also realize it is important to put what kind of damage: Piercing, Slashing, Bludgeoning, or in the case of magic: Force, Electricity, Fire, Acid, etc. because some things have DR to various forms of attack, and it is easier for me to GM if I know from your post what kind of damage is being done. This is true for weapons that do elemental damage. That would look like this.
Not yet pertinent to this campaign, but I just read on the d20 page that retrieving a weapon is not provoke an AoO.
Rednaxel I need to know east or west target because your bow attack did hit! Nice shot! Over cover and everything... :)
let us say east
Not yet pertinent to this campaign, but I just read on the d20 page that retrieving a weapon is not provoke an AoO.
Correct, but, interestingly, sheathing a weapon, does provoke. So if you are in an enemy's threatened square and you stow a weapon and retrieve another one you take an AoO anyway for stowing the weapon before drawing the other.
let us say east
East it is, now the bad guys are up. Prepare!
Wow, our very first battle, and we are just about to die. Hopefully the dice are with us for the rest of this combat

Yeah so far a very inauspicious beginning, but I'm rolling like crazy! Two unconfirmed crits already for max damage. Luckily the guy that was going to hit Imfazl missed, otherwise that would have been the end of him for sure...
I seriously feel sorry for Imfazl, he's entangled and now asleep... That STINKS!
Oh! Just realized too, that Quim I can't see your hybrid or animal character sheets, remember to set the privacy on those as "anyone with the link can view." SampleText you don't even have a link to your PDF character sheet in your profile. Fix that if you will.
