MAP

Noran holds his action until after Filios has a chance to move. At that point he will take a 5' step to Filios' current position, and send a flurry of arrows at Tasskar.

Att: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 MISS

Once Filios goes, and Noran takes his Readied Action, I will move right "behind" Filios and Ready to Cast my

Round 1, Initiative 19, Charging

Filios seizes the opportunity and charges the Tasskar while placing the throne between himself and the croc.

CB ATT: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

Balenar charges up the stairs after Filios and Noran. He begins to recite verses from an ancient battle epic, and the words fill you with courage.

Everyone has +1 to attack and weapon damage rolls from inspire courage!

Round 1, init 9(2)

Quartes rushes up the stairs after the others, and stands next to Noran. He raises a hand, uttering arcane syllables, and lets fly a dart of energy at Tasskar.

Magic missle1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Thanks Beckett - very nice blessing!

Haven't heard from Jareth since last Friday... I'll give him through tonight before continuing on tomorrow morning.

Round 1, Initiative 7 (GMPC for Jareth)

Wielding his scimitar and shield, Jareth follows the others up the stairs, but something in the back of his mind tells him not to move too far. He ends his movement and casts shield of faith on himself before activating his judgment of protection.

Jareth HP 12/12, AC 21/T 14, +2F/+1R/+4W
Conditions: judgment of protection, shield of faith (10 rounds)

Round 1, Initiative 6

Tasskar snarls as one of Noran's arrows takes a large gash out of the troglodyte's arm and Quartes's bolt of magic energy slams into his side. He moves out of reach of Filios, chanting strange words and gesturing as he begins to cast a spell.

Bite 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17; Damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The albino crocodile moves in to take its master's place, snapping at Filios with its toothy maw. The swashbuckler's attempt to avoid the attack fails, and the croc takes a bite out of the elf's leg! (Filios is at 5/10) It doesn't grab him, however, as a larger creature might.

Spellcraft1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Quartes yells out to his companions. Beware! He's summoning a swarm!

If Tasskar steps away more than 5 feet, I should get an AoO with the Inspire Courage of Balenar because he went before the movement in initiative order.

CB ATT: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16

Filios attacks the croc!

Bite me will you!

CB ATT: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16
CB DAM: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17

If Tasskar steps away more than 5 feet, I should get an AoO with the Inspire Courage of Balenar because he went before the movement in initiative order.

He just took a 5-foot step.

Also, you didn't hit, but I don't think a curve blade does 1d20 damage. :P

My bad, misread the map, did I hit the Croc? Here is the redo on damage.

1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Nope... Snapjaw is the croc with 20 AC. :-/

Noran looses two arrows at the croc.

Att: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Att: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Sorry, I meant 'Noran loses two arrows'.

Hey Filios, can you 5ft step up? (to the right)

Sure, feel free to move me.

Moved you over 5'.

Also, feel free to suggest actions for Jareth (if he's not back by his next turn)... the nature of this encounter makes it difficult to GMPC someone.

With defensive powers up, I think he would probably be setting up for a charge into melee.

Round 2, Init 17
HP 8/8; AC 16/16T/14FF; +3F/+3R/+6W

Then I shall 5ft step and Aid Another to attempt to get Filios a better chance of landing his next strike.

Attack roll (vs AC 10: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
If successful, Filios next attack against the gator gets a +2

Round 2, Init 9(1)

Balenar continues his performance, shouting a word of warning between stanzas, "I'm going to try to confuse Tasskar... might be tough since he's a caster of some sort, but if he summons that swarm this fight will get a whole lot more difficult!"

He takes a step closer to the troglodyte to get within range, then begins chanting as he casts lesser confusion.

Will save DC 14 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13... lucky!

Tasskar's eyes go wide and he fails to maintain concentration on his spell as paranoia wracks his mind. He begins to look around wildly, frantically swinging his scimitar around recklessly!

Snapjaw - HP 19/19; AC 20/14T; +5F/+5R/+2W

Noran suggested Jareth head into melee... any other suggestions or want me to go with that?

Go with that for Jareth, please.

Quartes, seeing Balenar's usefulness, leaves the man's side to rush forward behind Jareth, uttering an incantation under his breath as he does.

Sorry for the wait everyone! Moved; and casting True strike: +20 on my attack next round

I can't do that to you guys...

Part of Jareth wants to charge forward into combat, but there's still a nagging suspicion that something is wrong... something Quartes mentioned...

"Quartes... what did you say when we first got here? Something about a pin..."

Quartes looks back at Jareth in confusion. Pin? A pin...drop?. He looks to his companions, most of the gathered on one side of the room. He tried to remember the orientation of the top of the tower.

Wait! It may be unstable!

Round 2, Init 9

Jareth moves slowly towards the eastern wing of the room, careful not to go too far. "See if you can bring them back towards the center!"

He'll ready an action to attack an enemy if one steps into reach.

Round 2, Init 7

Confusion roll 1d4 ⇒ 1

The confusion effect seems to not take hold as Tasskar stops flailing about. He raises one of his arms, his palm facing upwards, and shouts a brief command as he casts a spell.

Small flames appear in his outstretched hand, though they don't seem to harm him. He remains standing at the far eastern end of the room.

Bite 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26; Damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The crocodile attacks Filios once again, sinking its teeth into the elf's leg and bringing him down. (Filios is at -2.) With one threat out of the way, it turns its attention to Beckett, snarling at the cleric.

Tasskar - HP 23/32; AC 17/11T; +9F/+3R/+6W

Round 3, Init 17
HP 8/8; AC 16/16T/14FF; +3F/+3R/+6W

On my turn

I'm going to move 3 squares to the left and Ready an action to Channel Energy for when the Croc moves. I have a plan, hold off your attacks a moment. I don't have much left, so make it count. . . as I close my eyes a moment and begin to pray, and shepherds we shall be, . . .

Bleeding out....

understand. . .

I've only got 2, 1d6 heals left. If I use it now, when you really don't even have a chance to hit the thing, it's wasted. We have got to move the fight to something more advantagous, so hopefully the croc moves a little after me, and we can at least start to flank it. As is, I'm going raise you, your going to attempt to get up, get AoO'd and be right back down again or dead, and I have 1 heal left. If we can flank, at least we can parse out the damage for my last heal to make it worth it.

Oh, I understand the situation. I have been doing this awhile...do your damnedest!

@Filios - You can go ahead and roll to stabilize.

@Beckett - If you move and ready an action, that'll provoke an attack from the croc... just wanted to make sure you knew.

The throne doesn't offer cover in my original square? Even so, I will go ahead and do that.

I foresee a crit on the way followed by a TPK. . .

I think it's my turn now?
Noran focuses his fire on Tasskar again.

Att 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12, 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Att 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17, 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Jareth might wanna use his shortbow if he's not going to melee?

@Beckett - Hm... yeah, ok - my bad. Nothing mentions that the throne provides cover, but makes sense that it does. Might have negated a hit against Tasskar at one point, but that's OK. Your move won't provoke. Sorry!

@Noran - You're 35' from Tasskar... did you want to take a 5-foot step first for Point Blank Shot? Also, isn't your attack bonus +2? (+1 Dex, +1 Point Blank if you move, +1 Inspire Courage, -1 Flurry).

Round 3, Init 9

Balenar moves and draws his shortbow as he continues his performance. "I still have a couple spells, but I'll hold onto them in case we need some healing!"

Shortbow 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20; Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

He draws an arrow and fires at the troglodyte, hitting the creature squarely in its shoulder. "Aha! That's for keeping me in that stinking room!"

Stabilize: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 1 - 2 = 17

Stable at -2/10 HP

Quarter looks at the possibly unstable floor with trepidation. With a wince, he watches Filios fall, then eyes Tasskar with frustration.

Hoping that he takes the bait of his taunt, Quartes readies his sword to strike at the troglodyte if it comes within range.

ready action to strike Tasskar if he comes within range. attack and damage
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

@Noran - You're 35' from Tasskar... did you want to take a 5-foot step first for Point Blank Shot? Also, isn't your attack bonus +2? (+1 Dex, +1 Point Blank if you move, +1 Inspire Courage, -1 Flurry).

Crud, why did I think I was already in point blank range? Yes, I need to step in, I've been using that bonus!

@Beckett - Hm... yeah, ok - my bad. Nothing mentions that the throne provides cover, but makes sense that it does. Might have negated a hit against Tasskar at one point, but that's OK. Your move won't provoke. Sorry!

I was honestly asking. I assumed it would, but no one mentioned it before, so I wanted to make sure is all.

Could someone shift me 3 squares to the left, please.

everyone that hasn't acted yet, PS, please hold off your attacks until after I heal everyone in the room. :(

Round 3, Init 7

Jareth takes a step back with Beckett switching to his judgment of justice, then readies an attack if an enemy follows the cleric.

Round 3, Init 6

Tasskar snickers at Quartes's words with a hissing laugh...

Flame vs. touch 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22; Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 fire... eesh - guess it's my turn to roll well :-/

He snarls as he flings the flame in his hand at the magus. It slams into Quartes, intense pain burning through his body.

Balenar winces as he sees one of his rescuers badly injured. "Good thing I saved some healing..."

Scimitar 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 17

The crocodile chases after Beckett (Beckett's readied channel happens here... go ahead and roll for that) and steps within reach of Jareth. The inquisitor swings his scimitar at the creature, but his attack bounces harmlessly off its thick hide.

Bite 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

The crocodile turns to this new threat, lashing out at the half-orc. It nearly manages to grab hold of his leg, but a white glow seems to repel the creature, Jareth's shield of faith saving him.

Noran steps closer again, and continues flurring arrows at Tasskar, trying to eliminate one threat.
