Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Sakuro will be looking to trip the enemy up, using her short-range teleport in order to try and sneak close (if this seems like a viable choice for the rest of the group). Otherwise, she'll do what she can to protect them before they charge in.
Reiko Arashi |
Reiko will get as close as can with stealth, and then bomb them with the alchemists fire arrows, and close in with his katana once he has to. Focusing on one is a good idea.
EldonG |
Ok, then...everybody moves up together. Since the ogres are watching the road, Tania takes everyone through the brush at the side of the road. Taking your time, and with caution, it's possible for the whole group to easily get within 150 feet of the ogres, or thereabout. That's where Tania stops for a moment, points them out to those that haven't been this close, and whispers - I think it would be good for those of us that can get into place, to be in place - anybody stealthy should move up close and get ready. The others should follow after twenty seconds, or so.
With that, Tania creeps into position, going all the way to the thicket just north of them.
Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Reiko Arashi |
About 80 feet out, near some kind of cover or hidey spot. He wants to be able to stay as "out of sight" as possible while still being able to use his bow.
Antonio Nedraid |
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Surprise light crossbow attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 for a possible 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + (2) = 9 piercing damage.
...Crit confirm?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 for a possible extra 1d8 ⇒ 2 piercing damage.
Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Stealth was one of the areas Sakuro was not especially talented in - although she could do a remarkably good imitation of it by use of her innate magic, simply appearing wherever made the most sense. However, there was no point in rushing forward when things didn't totally require it, so the girl carefully took her time to sneak forward as best she could, moving along with Aya to stay out of trouble.
Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
With that, the girl began focusing her magic, paying special attention to the space in front of them.
Ready Action: Cast Grease (Reflex DC 16, I believe) 30 feet away from the group if any Ogres move across the zone she can target.
EldonG |
The two daggers are two ogres. They aren't paying much attention to the road, as nobody has passed by in over 24 hours.
Ok...anybody who hasn't done initiative, please do. Antonio starts off the surprise round (If someone beats his initiative, then technically, they do, but hey.) with an amazing shot into the throat of one of them. The ogre does not die, but he surely looks surprised!
Initiative, T: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Initiative, O: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
We're in a surprise round, at this point, as everybody did fine moving into place.
Tania attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Tania damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 8 = 16
Tania proves her point about not being able to guarantee a kill, as her arrow seems on target, but deflects off of the heavy hide armor.
Reiko Arashi |
Swift Action to make longbow +1
Intitative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Alchemist's Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Well, hopefully a 12 hits a flat footed ogre...
Reiko Arashi |
Reiko grunts in frustration, firing another arrow at the second ogre before the dead one hits the ground.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Alchemist's Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Varuk Beaststalker |
Varuk moves up along with Aya and Sakuro.
Surprise Round Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
After the others let their weapons fly, Varuk fires his new Dwarven crossbow at the remaining Ogre.
Masterwork Heavy Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 1
Two ones??? So not cool.
Antonio Nedraid |
Round 1___________Init 13
Antonio dropped his crossbow and leapt down into the hidden hollow from his place hidden on the rim.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
He drew his sword as he closed on the last ogre, hoping to get to him before it could recover.
aldori dueling sword attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 for a possible 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (4) = 12 piercing damage.
Do I see what they use for signalling device?
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Reiko Arashi |
Is the flag raised or on the ground? I ask because I wonder if shooting it and setting it on fire would stop them from raising an alarm.
Reiko Arashi |
Not a terribly big deal though, since I already posted Reiko's round 1 action.
EldonG |
The ogre would be signaling, but Antonio's presence proves to be an interesting distraction.
Gonna EAT da PASTE dats left!
Slammin' big club: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
into soft parts: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 6) + 7 = 19
The ogre wheels, raising the club high (making Antonio dizzy from his pit stench) then brings it down in a sideways arc meant to crush delicate human ribs.
EldonG |
Oh, crud. That's why I hammered RANGE.
Arya bolts up the mountainside even before Tania finishes voicing her frustrations, but it takes a lot longer than the two arrows Tania looses.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 3) + 8 = 15
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 4) + 8 = 18
Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Again, the second strikes true, deep into the ogre's side.
The ogre snarls and grimaces.
Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Well, that had been absolutely awful. Sakuro was already moving forward as best she could, trying to remain hidden... though, really, that was of limited help when you were also moving forward. Instead, the Arcanist girl focused her power as she moved, just in case. She couldn't simply stand by and do nothing, but she could at least do her best with the powers she had.
Advance 30 feet. Ready Action: Cast Grease if the Ogres approach within range (30 feet of her).
Reiko Arashi |
Reiko fires another arrow, while moving 30ft toward the ogre.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Alchemists Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Reiko Arashi |
Reiko sprints to the fallen Antonio while stowing his bow and drawing his katana.
How is he? Can you heal him? he calls to Alyra while taking a defensive stance near them, and watching the area for more ogre threats.
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Reiko Arashi |
That sounds like a good idea. Wait for the replacements, and take them out one group at a time.
Antonio Nedraid |
Antonio takes a deep breath and bolts upright. He feels around for the broken bones that aren't there anymore.
"Did we win?" He asked as he grabbed up his sword again, looking around for enemies.
EldonG |
Hours go by.
The area is small for the group, and Tania is irritable, even though it was her idea. The sun is high in the sky when she excuses herself, and fades into the nearby underbrush. She returns with a small bundle of leaves, berries, and tubers...and a few bugs.
Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Though it's not appealing, it is surprising how much there is, in such short order.
Eat. At least it should be enough for...
Her words trail off, unfinished. Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Perception (hearing), everyone please.
Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Sakuro blinked slightly, even as she strained her ears to try and figure out what was distracting Tania.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
However, it was a bit hard to hear over the sound of her suddenly thumping heart...
