Sudara attempts to skewer the Halfling attacking Susanoah but misses as he does not want to hit anyone in the crowd around them
Also Sudara, Kami can only move at half speed as the dock is difficult terrain at the moment so no need for a climb check yet

It has been 48 hours so I will GMPC Susanoah's action for this round
Susanoah grasps his longsword and swingsit at the Halfling directly in front of him. Susanoah's long sword strikes tru as the hafling falls to the ground.
longsword vs N Halfling: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
An arrow each is fired from the rooftop to Sudara and Zahir. Each arrow pierces it's target.

The remaining two halflings sing their shortswords at Susanoah. Susanoah is able to effectively dodge ne sword as the other strikes him in his blind spot.

shortsword vs Susanoah: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

As Ahn begins to move he says, "I am unsure ... "
He drops his great sword and 5 ft steps (left one, down one) while drawing his longbow
"... as my morals have recently come into question ... "
He lets loose an arrow at the closest archer,
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
" ... can I kill these guys, or will I lose my paladin-hood for this as well?"
Ahn does not believe these are Pildapush's men Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Zahir Hor-Akim |
Zahir lets out a cry of pain following by a curse in a strange language as the arrow hits him. He then goes to take shelter under the nearest building's porch and casts a protection spell.
Move 2 squares south and cast Shield of faith
Are the squares adjacents between the puddlejumper S and the porch ? And is the crowd still around for the difficult terrain ?
GM Tyranius |
Ahn lets an arrow fly at the archers on the roof as the arrow is right on target it clatters off of the halflings studded leather armor.
Ahn does not seem sure of himself if these are Pildapush's men allthough the halfling does seem quite confident in his answer and is dressed in ragged clothing and piecmail armor.
Zahir takes cover from the nearby porch
There is a space in between the puddlejumper south and standing on the porch itself. The crowd is still difficult terrain.

Sudara Ishizu |
Do creatures with climb speeds make climb checks?
Sudara frowns. He and Ahn were oil and water, it seemed. He focuses on his spear work, following Kami a short distance before stabbing at the enemy in front of Ahn.
Longspear: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
"They're armed and stabbing us. Feel free. Different circumstance than a whimpering trader."
I should have reach to one enemy or another, but if the one near ahn is still up I'd like to move forward a bit behind Kami before attacking.
GM Tyranius |
Sudara moves on to the porch for a better angle with his spear. As he stabs at the man a couple sailors trying to get out of the docks fight slam into him and throw his aim off as his spear strikes the railing on the deck.
I will update the map on a break at work today
Kami continues further towards the archers
Sudara-"Climb: A creature with a climb speed has a +8 racial bonus on all Climb checks. The creature must make a Climb check to climb any wall or slope with a DC higher than 0, but it can always choose to take 10, even if rushed or threatened while climbing. If a creature with a climb speed chooses an accelerated climb (see above), it moves at double its climb speed (or at its land speed, whichever is slower) and makes a single Climb check at a –5 penalty.
Such a creature retains its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) while climbing, and opponents get no special bonus to their attacks against it. It cannot, however, use the run action while climbing.

"So, the thugs are fair game, but the man that hired them and ordered them to kill us is not ... fascinating!", Ahn is enjoying the "debate", but still he is suspicious of who the real culprit is here. Where are Ambassador Dremdhet Salhar's men that were supposedly already on the hunt?
GM Tyranius |
Susanoah swings his longsword at the northern halfling. Susanoah's sword slices deep into the halfling dropping him to the ground.
longsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
The two archers launch another set of arrows at Sudara and Zahir
longbow vs Sudara: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
longbow vs Zahir: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

[/dice=damage to Zahir]1d4[/dice]
The remaining halfling on the ground swings his shortsword at Susanoah
short sword vs Susanoah: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
the crowd of sailors begins to dissipate and the party seems to have a bit more room to move about.
As the crowd clears the party notices that there are a few sailors aboard the No Return vessel hooting and hollering. Kill them, WHooo!! Slice them up good The sailors cheer with each hit that the halflings get on the party and boo and jeer at you whenever the party strikes one of the halfling assassins.

You can see where this is going, can't you? Negi says facing the remaining halfling on the ground. Your buddies up there aren't helping enough! You'll be dead in the next thirty seconds, and we'll be after them too. Lowering his sword, but keeping his shield up, he entreats his opponent: Put down your sword, and you can go free your boss!
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
GM Tyranius |
The remaining halfling on the ground drops his sword as he sees the halfling next to him fall to the ground. This isn't worth it at all. He didn't say there would be this many.
Combat Over
As the halfling on the ground runs off the party looks towards the archers on the roof and notice that they are also gone.
The sailors aboard the No return have now drawn weapons and have backed away from the edge of the capsule as the party can hear strange guttural growling that sounds like a very rough common. Do not let them board
Jenya Poole |
Well, there goes any chance of sneaking aboard Jenya says as she bends to check the two dead halflings for any clues as to who sent them, or for any loot
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
GM Tyranius |
Jenya notices that there are some scraps of paper on the halflings bodies that are signed by Pildapush. There is another slip of paper with names and descriptions that match each person in your party and also Fredrik. Fredrik's name has a line through it already. The gear that you find on the halflings were two shortswords and a set of studded leather armor.
As the party approaches the ramp they see the ship capped by a bloody-mouthed dragon ram and carrying a 15-foot fighting tower around her mast, the lateen rigged Katapeshi slave galley, No Return, floats dockside, tethered by four mooring lines. She’s 130 feet long and 20 feet wide, her deck nearly level with the dock, with crew
access across three gangplanks: a wide plank mid-deck, and two narrow planks fore and aft. Steep stairs in two narrow hatches, fore and aft, lead to the hold.
The party hears more guttural growls

He picked up and stowed his great sword prior to moving to here if possible
Zahir Hor-Akim |
One small thing: I moved under the porch last round so I normally couldn't have been stricken by an arrow ;)
Zahir says a few words in Ignan, casts a spell and gets up on the deck of the ship. He then moves a few steps towards the center of the galley and, while still muttering strange words, stops near the foreman and a sailor. At that moment, waves of heat seems to radiate from his body and his form wavers and blurs as if his temperature has suddenly increased of hundreds of degrees.
I cast Shield of faith, move NW-N-W-W-N and activate the power Heat Aura (Flame revelation, swift action, Ref save DC 12)
GM Tyranius |
Ahn-yes that is fine that you picked up your gear
Zahir -Yes subtract that damage I was including cover on that attack. Zahir I need the damage roll for your Aura also
Zahir Hor-Akim |
All right, I will subtract the arrow damage but you need to roll the dices again because there was a small mistake in the dice code ([/dice=damageto Zahir]1d4[/dice])
And, as a result, I will change my action and instead cast a cure light wounds on myself and draw my mace (and stay where I am on the map)
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

correction for Zahir damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Zahir cast CLW and draws his mace for the upcoming battle as Foreman Snarl comes around the corner and cracks his whip at Ahn in an attempt to trip him

The foremans whip grasps Ahns legs as he tumbles to the deck

Kami no Sosen |
Sudara's Eidolon roars as it rushes across the deck, his long claws scrabbling on the wooden planks.
If still dificult terrain, just move him close to the right side sailor...otherwise..
The Serpentine Eidolon rams into the sailor on the left, goring at him with his horns.
Gore Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Ahn stands and fires his bow at the gnoll. Ahn's arrow pierces right through the gnolls armor as the gnoll howls in pain and a fit of rage.
Negi and Jon rush forward, lance in hand towards the eastern pirate. The pirate notices the oncoming duo and easily dodges out of their way.
Susanoah rushes forward to the gnoll as he swings his longsword at the hyena looking beast.
longsword vs Foreman: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
The gnoll falls to the ground as blood spills from it's body onto the planks of the ship.
The Foreman is down! Lets get out of here. The sailors yell as they look on in shock as their Foreman of their ship falls to the ground. The two sailors turn and leap from the side of the ship in an attempt to get away from the rest of the party.

Good control with focusing fire on the gnoll

GM Tyranius |
On the foreman Jenya sees a hide armor, a masterwork whip, a masterwork handaxe and a potion with a warm light hue to it.
As the Party descends the stairs they see, chained the length of the ship, two to a bench, are 50 filth encrusted oar slaves bleeding from lacerations and open sores and slumped in sleep or exhaustion. The benches form a five-foot-wide aisle down the center of the galley, constricting movement in all but three areas: a 10-foot diameter around the main mast, slightly fore of midship, and the extreme ends of the galley which hold rooms.
As the groups eye's adjust a little more they see a hunched and feral, hyena-headed humanoid with a large handaxe in his hand at the head of the slaves.

As the gnoll roars and rushes in th slaves all awaken frightened and huddles as far away from the fight as their chains will let them while the slaves furthest from the fight reach out into the aisle grasping at the parties legs in a plea for assistance.

As the figure huffs and puffs attempting to catch his breath he says"You should not have locked me away.*Heavy breathing* Captain, Do not let them leave here alive. As Pildapush catches his brathes he begins to draw a dagger from his belt and move towards the party.
The Captain brings his handaxe down upon Sudara.
