Shanosuke's Souls of Lost Aridia (Inactive)
Game Master Shanosuke

I meant "dogs of war" figuratively :)

Well, they change from incredibly confident in one instant to sadness in the next, but never seem to remain in the middle. I thought it was the women that were supposed to be emotionally unstable.

The twenty anubites will be 160 feet at round 2.
They are coming. let me know when you are ready to face the foe.

Mus'ad is ready

Ready

Ready!

The dark eyed woman snickers at the Tiefling's comment, "Well, at least they sound like an amusing bunch."

Ready

Well if any one has shots to take, now is the time to take them.

All anubites, none special. Once you shoot, they engage.

No shots here. Let them come.

Mus'ad would prefer to ready an attack for the first one to charge him...

Meh looks like the only shooter is gonna be Catalina. Okay whatever. They will be within 40 feet at they're closest. You want to charge them or have them charge you? Samal will follow the majority's lead.

Charge or hold? Your choice go.

As the enemy draw near, Mus'ad picks his prey and urges Al Gasreed to action. His faithful camel bursts into action and surges forward. When they pass the anubite Mus'ad leans in the saddle to deliver a wicked downward stroke with his curved blade....

Charge: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 4 = 19 for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Ride by Attack on an Anubite on the fringes. I should end up about 60ft clear of the pack after my full movement.

Arik roars as only a dwarf can and flies into his quarry at full tilt.

Raging charge. 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 for 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

AC is 16 for this round. It will increase to 18 after the charge, and to 20 if I stop raging. (I won't stop raging :)

Jen moves forward about 15 ft and uses slumber on one of the enemies that aren't being targeted by anyone. (DC 15 Will Save or fall asleep)

If the anubite she is targeting fails the save, Whiskers will jump in on top of the anubite and cut its throat. (6 damage + DC 16 Fort Save or die)

Pavok moves alongside his his battle brother with a longspear in hand, thrusting it at the closest enemy.

Spear attack:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage:1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Jen - don't mean to naysay, but your proposed actions aren't RAW legal.
A coup de grace is a full round action that provokes an AoO. Given that you familiar would still need to move up to the enemy this round it can't be done.

Ah yeah, you're right. I went back and looked at the section that I've looked at so many times before and it turns out I was wrong. Thanks for telling me; can't believe that I missed something so simple

Revised action:

Jen moves forward and to the side about 30 ft and uses slumber on one of the enemies that aren't being targeted by anyone. (DC 15 Will Save or fall asleep) Her current position is off to the side, but only a bit offset from the front line, so that hopefully she will be attacked but since she's not in the direct line of action, an anubite couldn't charge her in a straight line without one of the meleers in the party getting an AoO.

Whiskers scampers next to her.

Yes, I will just have to be more clever with how to go about this. Just need to pick up something from town after we're done with this arc. Also will make the look complete. :D

*Drumming fingers on desk* still waiting on Catalina.

yes, I'm here.

Catalina snaps out of her daze as she looks to her comrades seeing that the battle has already begun. She pulls back on the arrow and aims for an untouched anubite. She exhales and release. The arrow cuts through the air towards its target.

to hit:
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Damage:
1d8 ⇒ 3

She whistles for Regan to take his shot.

tallon 1:
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 201d4 ⇒ 2

talking 2:
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d4 ⇒ 3

I'll try to be more creative with me next attack.

Okay two anubites are dead one injured and one is asleep.

Two anubites are chasing after Mus'ad These anubites have fleet. So they have a 70 foot movement. Only two are able to catch him and shockingly both attacks miss

Samal has joined with Pavok and Arik. The three are now surrounded by the remaining anubites.

4 on Pavok 2 hit for a total of 9 damage
3 on Arik 1 hit for 4 damage
5 on Samal 2 hit for 10 damage

Your turns.

Seeing themselves surrounded, Arik roars in desperate anger and attacks the closest beast.

Flank Attack if possible 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 for 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Pavok channels Torag mending power to heal his wound, then drops his longspear before it hits the ground the paladin is holding a Scimatar and a handaxe in his hands. The Kellid unleashes a fury of blades onto the enemy. "May the Forge take you all!"

Lay on hands on self(swift action):1d6 ⇒ 6
Drop Weapon then quick draw blades(2 free actions)
Flank if possible as well(-2 if can't)
Attack1:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Attack2:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage1:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage2:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Nice Pavok

Just a simple action over here, hehe. Thx my battle brother.

Jen laughs as she sees her the first anubite slump to the floor. Whiskers five-foot steps towards it and digs into its throat with its claws (DC 16 Fort Save or die, and 6 damage).

She sees another anubite near her and sends another slumber flying its way (DC 15 Will save)

Flushed with hidden excitement beneath his tagelmust, Mus'ad wheels around Al Gasreed and they both strike out at their foes in concert...

Curve Blade: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Camel Teeth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 for 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Seeing that none of the dogs have any ranged weapons of their own, Catalina adjusts herself to make a more powerful shot (Deadly Aim) while her hawk continues to claw at the anubite he'd attacked previously.

Deadly aim: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

T1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 for 1d4 ⇒ 4
T2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for 1d4 ⇒ 4

Two more Anubites go down

Two anubites attack Al Gasreed and score a solid hit for 8 damage. If you have mounted combat you need to score a 22 to avoid the attack.

2 are on Pavok. He flanks with the bird Tegan. No hits on him.
All 3 foes attack and hit Arik for....ow 13 damage
5 anubites attack Samal dealing 11 damage

No sleeping anubites this round and the anubite that was sleeping is now awake and quite pissed off. He stands and provokes an attack from Whiskers

Continue.

I don't mean to second guess, but there are a ton of mods at play here. Arik's AC is 20 at the moment. Does that change the damage?

22 22 and 20 To hit Arik

Couple of crit but no confirms.

Ride check to negate hit on Al Gasreed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Mus'ad is unable to heave Al Gasreed out of the way of an incoming strike, and his camel is wounded. Hissing with anger he lashes out at the one who struck his steed...

Curve Blade: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Camel Teeth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 for 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Crit conf: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 for extra 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

...though he is once again shown up by his camel - who strikes true where he does not.

Al Gasreed at 14/22 HP

As the beasts miss the paladin he lets out another flurry of blades, his scimatar misses but the handaxe strikes true.

Flanking with a teammate if Possible(-2 to strikes if not.)
Attack1:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Attack2:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Damage2:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Whiskers AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1 damage

Thanks to accursed hex, Jen has another shot at the formerly sleeping anubite and uses the slumber hex again (DC 15 Will)

If it falls, then Whiskers digs his claws deeper into the anubite's throat, dealing a coup de grace (6 damage, DC 16 Fort or die)

Ouch. Arik 5/22

Does anyone have any substantial healing? I have cure light wounds, but I can't get to you while you're surrounded.

Just Lay on hands(1d6) here. Im attacking the creatures fighting Arik if able.

Arik and Catalina still need to make their actions.

My bad, I didn't realize it was my turn.

Arik pulls his quaterstaff off his back and lets fly!

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 for 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

crit confirm 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Niice attacks Arik!

Arik do you have Quick draw? If not I recommend just punching. I wll let you keep thos rolls.

I do not. I will be punching. Thanks.

Seeing the severity of the situation, Catalina decided to make a move forward to get a Point Blank Shot. She steadied her aim and drew the arrow back with a little more force. She released and the arrow went flying, but she took this chance to draw another without waiting to see if the first hit. She aimed again with as much power as the first. Letting go the arrow flew, cutting through the air with a slight whistling sound. Tegan continued to flank anubites who're attacking Arik, in an attempt to relieve the dwarf of his burden.

To clarify: I'm using Deadly Aim and Rapid Shot

Arrow1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Arrow2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Talon1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for 1d4 ⇒ 4
Talon2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 for 1d4 ⇒ 2

FOUR DEAD IN THIS ROUND! YAY!

The battle around Samal, Arik and Pavok us fierce!

Samal mauls one of the enemies. Arik beats the puss out of another! And Pavok and Teagan Slay another!

Mus'ad misses but apparently Al Gasreed, obviously pissed about being hit, rips a new one on one of the anubites in front of him.

Unfortunately Jen is having a bad day against the saves and her second attempt at the hex fails to put the beast to sleep. No coup de grace as there are no helpless anubites. I don't understand what you mean when you say: "If it falls, then Whiskers digs his claws deeper into the anubite's throat, dealing a coup de grace (6 damage, DC 16 Fort or die)"

If it fails he is not helpless. Whatever, it's your cat not mine :p

The anubite whiskers had attempted to coupde grace got up last round and now this round it is attacking the cat.......and missed........horribly. He has taken seven damage though and is obviously hurt.

The four anubites on samal attack her all and once and are able to bring the Lamia to her...knees?

The anubite left on Arik misses.

One of the two anubites on Pavok scores a crit and confirms for a total of 12 damage. Lame

Anubite on Mus'ad swings and misses.

Now there is one anubite on Mus'ad
One on Jen
One of Arik
Two on Pavok
And four on Samal-who is disabled 0hp even.

Everyone post your next actions and current HP. Need to make sure I mathed right.

Blast these anubites! Have they been struck with insomnia?

Jen refocuses her attention on another anubite nearby and uses slumber on them (DC 15 Will Save). If this succeed, Whiskers five foot steps away from the anubite to whom he is currently adjacent and coup de grace's the new anubite. If not, Whiskers takes a withdraw action to move behind Jen.

Mus'ad seeks to rid himself of the last anubite with flashing blade and crunching teeth...

Curve Blade: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Camel Teeth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 for 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

...and if the beast falls before him, Mus'ad goads Al Gasreed into position where he can run down another of the creatures.

19/25 HP for Mus'ad, 14/22 HP for Al Gasreed

Sorry, I forgot to post my hp. It's 20/20 and Whiskers is 10/10

HP:31/34

Pavok rings his twin blades and yells, "COME YOU MANGY MUTTS COME FACE YOUR REAL OPPONENT!!" as he lets loose another flurry of blades.

Flanking if I can if not -2 to attacks.
Attack1:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Attack2:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Confirm crict for attack1:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Damage1:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Damage2:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Extra Damage from crict attack1:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

5/22
If I can with AoOs...

Arik drags Samal out from among the enemies to the safest place he can get to.

If not...

"You will not touch her!"

Bull Rush, trying to affect ass many as possible.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Damn...

Catalina readies her arrow swiftly aiming towards the dogs surrounding Samal's fallen body. Firing, then pulling another quickly firing again.

Arrow1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Arrow2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Tegan swoops for another strike.

Talon1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 for 1d4 ⇒ 1
Talon2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 for 1d4 ⇒ 4

Al Gasreed and Mus'ad drop their foe.
Jen puts one of the anubites on Pavok to sleep.
Catalina,Tegan, and Pavok manage to drop another anubite.

Arik's attempt to Bull Rush fails but draws the attention of the anubites. Three more attempt to move into position weaving around to avoid AoO. Four attacks on Arik. Flanking is in affect. We have one hit for 7 damage on Arik.

Mus'ad is clear.

Pavok is clear.

A single anubite attacks Samal and drops her.

Catalina is clear.

Jen has one badly wounded anubite before her. It moves in for the kill and scores an unconfirmed crit. He deals her 5 damage.

6 Anubites left total.

2 of you are down.

It is your turns.

Roll to stabalize 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Arik is down and stable.
