The Green Brute Squad (Inactive)

Game Master ThorGN

Scratch that then, Bishop still hits.

Amira, you can post out of init order, then I will just resolve the action accordingly.

Yandu moves forward 10 foot - realizing he didn't speed up himself and won't get out of the entange area. He still tries to cast a spell

Concentration 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Daze Monster (DC15) on the thug grappling the lady

Stats Anya are now in her profile

I believe you forgot the bonus from Haste, Brute. It would only probably matter for me, so I thought I'd ask. Would a 14 make it?

Amira, as a barbarian, I am offended by any use of calm emotions.

I'm a lady; I'll use ANY tactics to win an argument that I'm sure I'm right about, rules be damned.

Nope, 14 is not enough.

Just checkin, Brute. And I wouldn't call Amira a lady. A lot of other things, but not a lady.

Ashur attempts to break himself free of the entangling roots in the city marketplace. He lets his infernal heritage overtake him as he enters a rage.

Obviously not calm Rage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

If that is enough, Ashur moves towards the thug next to Erin.

Ashur rips free from these puny plants.

"I was going to-- UGH," Amira adds, as he sees the man tear free of the vines and move into her burst area. "Like I said; prepared!"

Alter my spell to being Hold Person (Same DC) on the grappler if Ashur is in the burst of Calm Emotions.

Full attack on flanked Thug. If he drops 5 foot step north.

"Red Market it is."
Erin grumbles, spotting Ashur right behind the poor fool.

She raises her right foot high and smashes it down on the man's foot, while twirling her swords and sending three quick stabs towards his gut.

Attack 1 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 (Flank, Haste)
Damage 1 1d6 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (5, 1, 4) = 15 (Sneak Attack)

Attack 2 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 (Flank, Haste)
Damage 2 1d6 + 4 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (1, 2, 4) = 17 (Sneak Attack)

Attack 3 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 (Flank, Haste)
Damage 3 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (3, 6, 6) = 22 (Sneak Attack)

Offensive Defense (+1AC for each sneak attack die landed)

Amira Casts Hold Person, Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20, and he shrugs it off.

Anya hits a Thug squarely with a Tanglefoot Bag, which slows him down just enough for Erin to land three solid blows, knocking him out of the fight for good. Thug 2 is Dead.

The crowd has dispersed enough now that the Market is no longer difficult terrain, well the part of it that is not covered by entangle at least.

Thugs are up. I will post for them in a bit.

The 5 foot.
Erin lets the body slide to the ground and points a bloody blade at the thug holding Zeeva as she approaches.
"You are next if you do not release her."

That's it; the instant I step back on home dunes, I'm getting a refund. By Abadar's fancy goatee, these damned 'lessons' have failed the past THREE TIMES now! Amira glares towards the eastern skies and looks absolutely furious. Were she more savage, she'd easily be raging. The past 3 Mooks (all individuals with <=2 will) have successfully passed a boosted Hold Person. That lesser Persistent rod can't come fast enough.

Thug 3 steps up to help his fallen comrade with a heavy swing at the wolf.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 2 = 26, Crit: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 2 = 18, Timber takes Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 + 6 = 19.

Thug 4 attempt to defend himself from the savage beast. (Full Defense)

Thug 1 delays until the man in the hood goes.

Bishop!

"By Deadeye's right, NO ONE HURTS HIM!!!

Bishop, heedless of the dangers to himself, steps back 5' unloads on Thug 3. He'll perforate Thug 3 with all 3 arrows (Using Deadly Aim.) If Thug 3 drops before the 3rd arrow, He'll switch to Thug 1.

Bow: 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 = 25 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 4 + 4 = 14
Bow: 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 4 + 1 - 2 = 19 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 4 + 4 = 14
Bow: 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 = 29 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 4 + 4 = 13

Timber will continue to gnash and thrash at the thug before him:

Bite on Prone: 1d20 + 11 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 4 + 4 = 33 damage: 1d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 4 = 16

Did I get missed? I thought KULIK went before Bishop.

You are up I believe.

Eh, you're pretty much in the same block anyways. Plus, they did hurt his doggie.

Oh, I wouldn't dream of taking away Bishop's opportunity to exact vengeance for attempted lupicide. :-)

Humans talk a lot but not listen to each other. Bad humans not listen to Erin human. Ashur human-type-thing not listen to Amira human. Confusing.

Attack with Deadly Aim on Thug 1. If Thug 1 drops, second shot from Haste will target hooded man.
attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 - 1 - 2 = 6
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11
Haste attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 - 1 - 2 = 12
Haste atk dmg: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

EDIT: haha, in retrospect it's the same as if I hadn't gone at all. :-D

Yes Kulik, you were up too. Bishop, you are still in difficult terrain because of Entangle. I’m going to assume you don’t move and take the AoO to get in the full attack action.
AoO vs Bishop: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 1 = 10, miss.

Thug 3 goes down with two arrows in his chest and one in his shoulder, bleeding out.

The Thug on the ground cries out, Alright, I surrender! Get your wolf off me!

The man in the hood weaves his hands back and fourth, mimicking the actions Amira took only moments before.

Hold Person on Erin. Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Erin laughs at him, and then realizes that she can’t move her arms or legs...

The Thug holding Zeeva drags her towards the door, and the man in the hood follows.

They are not out yet.

Zeeva once again attempts to break the Grapple. CMB: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3, fail.

Ashur, Amira, Yandu!

Kulik’s arrows fly wide, but he does skewer a large Watermelon quite nicely.

I'd like to think that "Kidnapping someone" is a hostile action as per Calm Emotions. If it's not, let me know.

"Hold back for one damned second, Ashur!" Amira asks, hoping he delays by a moment.

Erin strains every muscle attempting to follow the kidnapper. However, she continues to stand stone still, pointing at where the kidnapper once stood with her blade.

Next round will. Will 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Totally fair, I forgot about Entangle. Swift action to order Timber after Zeeva....so he'll just have to gnaw on the thug until my turn :-)

Oh, right. we cleaned up on our side. Just do My heal-y action.

Ashur goes after the man in the hood. You can see the familiar sight of his fangs growing out and his horns expanding to full size. He raises his arms and attempts to grab the hooded caster.

Grapple: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31 Take your AOO, Brute. Mighty AC 16.

Note to self.... Ashur has "The Big Smile"

Ha, ha, ha, like that will do any good.

AoO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13, miss.

Ashur quite easily wraps up the man in the hood. He is looking none to fondly at your great, pointy teeth.

Amira, go ahead and roll for your Healy action then.

Well, it's mattered before. A certain spider-climbing demon knows that.

Ashur smiles as he deftly dodges the man's attack and grabs hold.

Heeelz: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6) = 18

Edit: This is the 2nd time in a pbp I've gotten 3 sixes in a row. The first was 3 d20s in the Dalsine pbp we're still in. Note to self: Play Cheliax.

The unconscious Thug comes to, and heeds Amira’s warning to lay low. Something about the way she pulls those arrows out of his chest is very convincing...

@ Ashur, Awk! Unhand me, you Demon!

"Hey, no need to be insulting. I might twitch and snap your neck." Ashur growls.

Is that all four of the thugs, or is the one grappling Zeeva still up?

The one grappling Zeeva hasn't been affected by anything yet, IIRC. Yandu has his turns to take, though.

He has an arrow sticking out of his side.

'Tis but a flesh wound.

Yandu moves out of the entanged area and casts a Glitterdust. He targets it a little bit north of the thug grappling Zeeva to ensure Erin isn't in the range as well.

"No tricks and no disappearance - better give up while you can !!"

DC16 Will to avoid being blinded.

Anya seems to have been waiting for Yandu - and swoops in from behind - her small but sharps claws trying to find a target.

Melee attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17 flanking with Erin

Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 - only half damage due to Shadow Form = 2

She seems to smile at Erin as her attack is rather ineffective - but all it needs is to get attention from the thug.

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22, This is one resilient Thug.

Anya flies down, batting at the thug to little effect.

Kulik and Bishop!

KULIK launches a pair of arrows into the thug using Deadly Aim.
nrml attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 = 7
dmg: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 10
Haste attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 = 22
dmg: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 10

LOL, that's my second 1 rolled on an attack. <facepalm>

New Boon! Bane of the Fruit Vendor: Take -10 on all Diplomacy checks to purchase fruit in the Green Market

Bah, what self-respecting half-orc eats fruit anyway? ;-)

Bishop turns his gaze downward for a split second, I accept, but if you cross me I'll replace your eyes with arrowheads. He points with the tip of his bow towards the one making off with Zeeva. Timber, attack!

Not waiting, Bishop unloads into the same thug. Again, if the thug goes down, I'll trade targets for the most injured looking one.

Bow 1: 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 = 34 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 4 + 4 = 18
Bow 2: 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 = 29 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 4 + 4 = 19
Bow Haste: 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 4 + 1 - 2 = 28 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 4 + 4 = 15

Timber will bolt after the appointed baddie. If he's dead I suppose he'd go at the closest.

bite: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 4 + 1 = 19 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 4 = 10 Trip: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 4 = 17

Bishop, with the difficult terrain, Timber can’t get close enough to attack this round, but that matters little.

Thug 3 dies by multiple arrow head incursion.

The Hooded man attempts to cast through Ashur’s gigantic arms.
Concentration DC 27: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30, Wow, that was unexpected.

Ashur Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11, Lol!

The hooded man slips out of Ashur’s now frozen arms and dashes from the market place.

You have two live thugs, two dead thugs, and a lot of blood on the ground. Amira can take an action and Ashur gets another Will save to finish out the round.

After that I want to know what everyone is doing in the next round...

Zeeva seems a bit frustrated by the bloody combat. This is a peaceful community market, not a battle field! Why did they have to go and start something like that. This is going to take forever to clean up.

Was that a hold person? Because like I've stated, I'm not one.

Will save1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Erin continues to hold her position, blood dripping off the end of her sword.
