To Nuveril: Bold words, fierce halfling, the critters look scared.
Pravenah readies an arrow to skewer the first annoying gremlin she can spot.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

”Hey! It worked! Way to go Nuveril! Let's use this opportunity to take the battle to them”
Nano yells and go into spellcasting. As he moves toward the ladder, he does so with impressive speed, his small legs allmost moving in a blur.

Casting expeditius retreat (speed is now 50 feet for 10 rounds) and follow jaken towards the ladder

Ok, a couple of rounds respite it would seem (who is going/staying where?)

If I made it up the ladder I would like to attack a Pugwampi, but I'm not sure how close they are.

Nuveril prowls the floor of the chapel, her eyes on the slight movements in the rafters. Stowing her scimitar, she draws a javelin and prepares herself to throw it the first time she gets a clear shot at a pugwampi.

Nuveril may not be the sharpest cookie in the jar, but she remembers the goat and the cliff and isn't about to volunteer to make Climb and Acrobatics checks tens of feet above a stone floor with pugwampis in the area. ;)

Oops forgot the second rolls. I would stay down there but we need to dispatch these annoying mongrels fast and I don't have a ranged weapon.

Acrobatics 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Climb 1d20 ⇒ 14

Seeing the otherwise stupidly brave halfling female stay on the floor, makes Nano hestitate. But since he has only got enough energy to conjure one more ray of acid, he figures that they need to take the fight to the pugwampis.
Just before he starts climbing the ladder he turns to Nuveril with a smile 'what is the matter? You only got it in your mouth?' he winks and start climbing.

Nano will follow jaken up the ladder. So unlike him. Seeing another halfling acting brave and Nuverils threat against the pugwampis must have inspired something in him ;)

Acrobatics 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Climb 1d20 ⇒ 11, 1d20 ⇒ 15

Seeing the otherwise stupidly brave halfling female stay on the floor, makes Nano hestitate. But since he has only got enough energy to conjure one more ray of acid, he figures that they need to take the fight to the pugwampis.
Just before he starts climbing the ladder he turns to Nuveril with a smile 'what is the matter? You only got it in your mouth?' he winks and start climbing.

Losk keeps his feet planted firmly where they are. "Eye, you lot throw the little things down, and we'ull finish em off. I aint gettin' any closer to them than this, not with the way luck runs near em."

Losk reloads his crossbow, and waits for the others to position themselves.

I'm off the net for a couple of days now. I'll sort the map of the upper level and a full description then.

People up stairs, please array yourselves on the map provided... :)

Seeing the disgusting pugwampis, Jaken moves foward along the rafter finally settling in place and readying himself to strike.

Acrobatics 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Possible Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

1d6 ⇒ 4

1d6 ⇒ 1

Move to N6 and ready attack against first approaching pugwampi. Not sure if we roll damage twice also. If not take the first roll :)

Perception (1d20+7=21)

Nuveril keeps a cautious eye overhead, looking for movement. She knows the odds are that the fall itself might kill the pugwampis, particularly if the cause of their tumble is an attack by her companions above, but her scimitar itches to remove rat-like heads from small bodies anyway.

With a sharp curse to the furry gremlins, Pravenha shoulders her bow and follows up the ladder. Once on top she tries to find some steady footing and aim for the rat bastards.

Acrobatics 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 or 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Climb 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 or 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Just wait for nano's action, and then I can work it into something sensible....

Not wanting to push his luck nano stops when he reaches the top and unleashes his lis last acidic ray towards the apparent leader of the group.

"I'm out of ranged magic, i need to get closer to them to hurt them. But ain't no way i'm going there alone.

Ranged touch 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8, 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
damage 1d6 ⇒ 6

Sorry for the delay folks, really hectic week at work, and probably another this week. I have a 1yr old and a 3yr old to manage today, but should get chance to sort myself out and get a post up....
Normal service will be resumed ASAP...

Jaken, I think you may have gotten confused with the numbering, or where you entered up top....Moving to N6 would be 80ft of movement minimum.....(If you assumed entering at the opposite side, it would be around 30ft...) I've put you at F6 which is the same distance from my point of origin....If you did mean 80ft of movement...How?(I'll admit I was a bit lax with timings...)[ooc]

Map

A few seconds of scrambling sees the three of the group at the top of the ladder, and into the rafters. While Nuveril and Losk ready themselves below.

The Pugwampis arguning amongst themselves don't immediately notice the newcomers [ooc](i.e. You get a surprise round), As Paravenah readys her bow, Jaken cracks off a bolt from his readied crossbow (I think...), and Nano attempts his final ranged spell casting, unfortunatly, as he does so, his footing shifts, and the energetic blast hits the roof, altering the little beasties to his presence.

End of round, more actions please!

Not wanting to rush alone into the arms of the little rat-like creatures Nano hestitate.

I will have to delay so Jaken and Parvenah go before me

Impatient down on the floor of the chapel, Nuveril kicks angrily at a collapsing pew. "What are you doing up there? Why don't I hear any screaming?"

Please read this thread!

Hi to everyone. For those of you who havent been following the other thread, after an extended absence (thanks to Nevynxxx for filling in) I am now back on board as DM for this game. Apologies for the disruptions - my schedule is getting bearable again.

Here is the map of the rafters, fifteen feet above the floor of the chapel. Losk and Nuveril have remained below - Parvenah and Nano have climbed the ladder at G3. The south-western corner of the room has been made into a half room, half tent, whatever is inside is hidden from all of you for now. The rafters shown look very old and fragile. Most of the balcony, which used to circle the room looking down on the chapel below, has fallen away over the years leaving precious few places to stand.

From where you currently stand Parvenah and Nano can see the three pugwampis peering out through a 'curtain' of scavenged scraps of cloth, linen and tapestries. They are aiming their tiny bows through gaps in the material and will receive cover from you. Losk and Nuveril can't see the enemy from below, although can make out signs of movement in the canopy above their head.

I know many of you have posted actions, but to start with a clean slate, I'll ask you to go from here. (Note that I've also redrawn the map, so references have changed somewhat).
Initiative:
Nuveril 21
Pugwampis 18
Nano 17
Paravenah 8
Losk 4

Yay, free retry :)
Nano focus his energy to produce his last acidic ray.

Ranged touch 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22,1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 3

Losk stands tapping his foot, leaning on his axe, waiting for some news from above...Hold action...

The pugwampis poke their heads through the old, dirty fabric hanging from the roof and peer across at Parvenah and Nano. Remaining where they are in the rafters, perched precariously in the roof of the chapel, the nasty beasts release a volley of tiny arrows. Although one sails close to Parvenah, none of them strike their mark.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

1d3 ⇒ 2

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

1d3 ⇒ 3

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

1d3 ⇒ 3

Losk remains on the ground below, waiting for a clear shot. Nano releases his final acid ray, however the creatures take cover behind the hanging fabric and manage to evade his attack.

I know it's a little confusing,with a shift in DM, new map and so on. We should be back into a semblance of order now. The three pugwampis are hiding up in the rafters, Nano and Parvenah can see them, although they have cover. Nuveril and Losk remain below and currently cant see them at all. Next up are Parvenah and Nuveril...

Nuveril glares up at the quivering fabric stretched across the ceiling. "Dwarf," she addresses Losk, "if your sun-lady wants to help us reclaim her temple, would she not grant you some kind of fire to burn away the shroud they're hiding behind?"
