I am afraid the BrambleKnight does not understand subtlety. When they arrive at speed, if there is fighting, they will fight. If her friends are pulling back, they will hold. If there is some kind of standoff....?


Ok ok. Bjorn's been so reapish lately I've mistook him for a fighter :). If the party thinks there should a replacement for Ash I would be open to suggestions.

Sczarni

While I would like to see an arcanist replacement for Ash, I think our group is good where its at. I'm good to stay where we are and keep going.


This upcoming combat could be a very ugly one... heads will roll and we're likely to be down a party member or two before the rest of you arrive...

I'm hoping Ash.bot will get a bomb or two into the mix to draw attention or at the very least soften the outlying bandits up a little...

Rest of the combat will be just a hack and slash affair... as a character Skane will be itching to get red handed... as a player I think this could go south very quickly... leader and original axeman have healed somewhat (we think)... I personally think Randell is throwing us a bone with the parley...

I agree...I know my sword will be needed, but I am going to try and pin down some of the ranged guys with my bow first.


Good shout man - with your favoured enemy and excellent all-round attacks (both your melee & ranged are very respectable) picking them apart at distance will give the bandits something else to think about... if they do close on you, then that curveblade is plain nasty!

What's your thoughts on how this could play out?

Hard to say...close call. We are definitely outnumbered. I hate to leave it to the dice roller, but that will make or break it for us. You botting Ash gives me a greater degree of comfort though. ;-) Based upon what the leader said about the caravan, if things do go badly, we need to try and get back there to warn them. It may not be possible though. I am glad Wesh is showing eventually - we will need the healing. The Brambleknight will also give them some issues with a mobile combatant.

I also think this is a hard combat. I did have my crossbow out.

Sczarni

Right now, the best that I can do is daze different NPC's every round. This will at least keep them from doing actions for a round. I'll concentrate on whoever looks like they need the most help at the moment.

I could try to fascinate the leader, but they may take that as a hostile action and start combat.


@ Rianna Daze will potentially be handy enough, especially if you can use at range [keep one crossbow off our cases] - your beguiling gift could also be useful... offer your water as a "healing draft", if they drink they'll provoke AoO from nearest Northman :)...worth a punt?

@Dieredon - yeah glad you've faith me botting Ash, she may well end up going down in an alchemical blaze of glory lol, but I'm sure Ash proper would have come good, think she just had alot on her plate and never used the character's abilities to the full potential...

Think the Northmen will probably deal with their nearest threat [axe and club] and hopefully survive the iron rain lol. Think the incoming group really are the tide turners... lethal alfur ranger, our healer and the Brambleknight whose mobile and a ironclad doubletap on four paws...

Game on! ;)


Female Gnome Cavalier 2; Knight of the Shield

I hope to break their lines and exploit their back rank artillery, just like an armored division in miniature and fur.

Sczarni

@Skane - Unfortunately I've cast all the 1st level spells I can cast.


@ Rianna: No worries... things are going sour already... lol.

Hel's teeth I hope the cavalry arrive soon (figuratively and literally)


Female Gnome Cavalier 2; Knight of the Shield

I have been following the battle posts, but not dealing with the map. Well my approach is coming up so I thought to acquaint myself with the map. 8-o

A target rich battlefield. That's about the only good thing I can say.

I'm a hustling!


Hooah! Here comes the cavalry bringing the pain :)

Things are still dicey but let's try and turn the tide!

Loving it!

Still loving it man? You took a brutal shot!

Not sure how you're going to deal with guard-goon 7, but a possible unskilled Acrobatics check (you've 18 Dex right?) could give you some distance to keep up the arrows? Then again leaping and drawing that sharpened curveblade is also a good shout ;) (remember that +1 damage for the whetstone hombre)

Wesh bud - we need you!


Male Moon Elf Fighter (Arcane Archer of Kyonin) 3; HP: 28/28; AC:14; Initiative: +3; Passive Perception: 12; Second Wind 0/1 (SR or LR); Action Surge 0/1 (SR or L); Arcane Arrow 1/2 (SR or L)

I am going to drop bow, five foot step back and quaff a potion of cure light wounds. No AoO, and I am going to take my chances that he will not hit me again. Next round I will draw Curveblade and waste that mother!


@ Dieredon: Slice and Dice bro :)

@ Bjorn: should he still be standing Skane will pick up the next verse of your battle hymn :)

Big round coming up...


Think we're starting to turn the tide a little more in our favour gang...Wish I had my next feat or class ability right now - (share my shield bonus with adjacent allies)...

What's everyone's take? Any tactical thoughts??

On my way to the Northmen for some flanking and killing. Then off to the leader! I am hoping the Brambleknight does some damage on the outskirts until I get there.


Female Gnome Cavalier 2; Knight of the Shield

We finally got our first hit in. Hopefully more to follow. In retrospect, going with the axe allows Thistledown to get involved each round, at least till we get ride by attack.


Female Gnome Cavalier 2; Knight of the Shield

Nice swing Dieredon (for a 10 even)! Not sure you are applying it, but you were hit by Wesh's bless too.

Sorry about the double post yesterday. It seems Countless posted the exact same moment I did. When mine didn't show up on my little netbook screen, I thought the Post Monster struck. I always copy my larger posts before hitting submit, so I posted it again. Now I see it was not needed, it had just got bumped up the thread.


male Human (Varisian) cleric 2

I think we just got two more hits.


Female Gnome Cavalier 2; Knight of the Shield

Actually going back and looking at my post, I am not sure what happened. I am used to the numbers not changing during edits, but I guess the first one officially went in, so when I reposted from what I thought was still the preview screen, it generated another set of attacks.

SO the first set should be the official set, although very odd that the second closely mimics the first.

again sorry about that confusion.

Yeah, I missed that Bless. What is that a +1 to hit, and what else?

The Cavalry has arrived!

Saves against fear

Got it...+1 to Hit and Save against Fear for 6 Rounds.

@Wesh: Please let us know when it expires...Thanks. I will definitely use it going forward!


Tide looks like it's turning folks - some great strikes going in!

@Betony - yeah think our simultanious postings was too much for the new server! lol


@ Wesh: might be good to get the others on their feet as well with a healing burst or two, know we could do with Rianna's guile and Bjorn's brute force...

@ Bjorn: Sooner you get the Diehard feat the better brother lol

Yeah, I've been thinking about that, too. It would require Endurance, but I think I get that as an option next level, so we'll see.


Would definately fit with the enraged bear-serker :)

I am worried about the enemies that might be unconcious getting back up because I can only selectively channel two of them.

@Wesh: Just choose two that look the least dead. The ones that are mostly dead won't come back to life without a miracle. ;)

Exactly - and with Rianna, Bjorn & Dieredon potentially up and at em, then we'll really hold an advantage.

If Guardsman 6 is healed and gets up we'll get two AoO on him Wesh... so I'd choose 2 others apart from him for starters...

Is it worth trying to take the leader alive??? Or should we keep him out of the fight???

19 rounds gang - pretty epic!

Sczarni

Remember, there is a difference between dead and mostly dead.

I agree - get us up and running Wesh! I will keep my fingers crossed for good rolls!


Female Gnome Cavalier 2; Knight of the Shield

I am glad to see that just 33% of Wesh's potential heal brought two of you awake.

Sczarni

Anyone got a miracle to give this mostly dead gypsy girl?


Male Moon Elf Fighter (Arcane Archer of Kyonin) 3; HP: 28/28; AC:14; Initiative: +3; Passive Perception: 12; Second Wind 0/1 (SR or LR); Action Surge 0/1 (SR or L); Arcane Arrow 1/2 (SR or L)

Not sure how close to death you are, but if you hang in a little longer, Wesh should be able to channel us back to relative health without healing the bad guys after this round, I hope!

Sczarni

Actually, I was just trying to see if anyone else has ever watched "The Princess Bride". Evidently that is a no.

"It'll take a miracle."


Female Gnome Cavalier 2; Knight of the Shield

Oh to Blaive!

This is heresy you speak of. I just didn't have a cart and a holocaust cloak or I would have been over to help you much sooner.

Sczarni

To Blaive is to bluff.

And I'm pretty good at that. ;)

@Betony: Nice job chopping.

Hopefully this will wrap up this encounter. And hopefully we'll level. :)


Hope we do, this was a very tough and brutal fight... were on the cusp of a glorious defeat if not for the timely intervention of our cavalry! Kudos to you boys, girl and wolf (and special thanks to my shield lol).

Would be nice to hit Deeptown a level wiser and tougher ;)


Female Gnome Cavalier 2; Knight of the Shield

Great use of fighting defensively. Best I have ever seen.


Male Moon Elf Fighter (Arcane Archer of Kyonin) 3; HP: 28/28; AC:14; Initiative: +3; Passive Perception: 12; Second Wind 0/1 (SR or LR); Action Surge 0/1 (SR or L); Arcane Arrow 1/2 (SR or L)

Inconceivable!

No more rhymes, and I mean it...

Iocane powder, I'd swear by it!

I'm not left handed!

And of course...My name is Indigo Montoya...you killed my father...prepare to die!

I could go on and on...


We should have just answered the Bandit leaders request to surrender with "Death first!" :)

Great fight. Man this game has thrown so tough encounters thus far, been great though not just walking through opponents!

Hopefully the next thing won't be smoke rising from the caravan as we trudge back with our battle scars, trophies and prisoners...

Sczarni

Hey guys, don't forget me. I'm still unconscious.

Would never forget ya...;-)


Female Gnome Cavalier 2; Knight of the Shield

Who said that?

We have Ash-bot to worry about too.
