Some (4-5) rogue or slayer levels (sneak attack vs the FF folk e.g. Wilhelm) and maybe some fighter levels (probably no more the 1-2) I would think.
Or there's something else... if you think about it for a few minutes, I'm sure you'll figure it out...
And nobody on either side was flat footed...
Too much metagame for my tastes, I just wanted to add some idle speculation. :P They hurt enough for Wilhelm to want to protect himself some more.
Edit: Unholy or more likely human bane (inquisitors?) is my next guess.
With PBP I usually try to answer 'WTF?' questions in Discussion (after the fight if possible, during if needed) so people don't think I'm cheating or overpowering the bad guys.
If anyone wants to know what they attacked with, I can answer some after the combat.
I just realised now that you didn't show the modifiers for the attack rolls and thought they hit Wilhelm on touch with the 14.
As to them not hitting could be you wanted to save thier grit points and not spend all to hit touch right off the bat :p
@Kobolds/To Hit - They have a +1 Size mod too I guess : )
@2d6 Damage - Poison? Hmm. More speculation coming later!
@2d6 damage - Alchemists! It's fitting and there is a discovery to slap bombs to bolts. So level 3-4 alchemists with a +2 int mod? Hmm, could work : )
@Damage/readied actions: If Fhârn/Lumnia gets shot here are some concentration checks for them
Additionally I realized Haste gets 7 targets; Lumnia will get the last cast for that sweet 80' fly speed to hide with. Additionally her AC is now 19.
Ikit isnt present? Didnt see initiative roll for him?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Hmm. I don't see him on the map either - most likely an oversight. I would just roll initiative and plop Ikit down on the map somewhere : )
(Also Ikit/his mount would of course receive the seventh 'casting' of Haste)
Ikit appears to be on the back of Natalie's horse. Not sure about initiative for him.

Oh yeah that is true. He was just a bit tiny :P
Sorry, I forgot to add Ikit into my Init paste when he joined. I'll fix that and add Pruett as well.
I'm in there: Init, Pruett: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Yep, but you weren't in my copy/paste entry on the campaign page, I just happened to remember to add you after I copy/pasted.
Now you and Ikit are both in the copy/paste on the campaign page.
I realize some people get on from phone and work and can't move themselves on the map, but nobody is doing so, which leaves me to interpret the best I can where you put spells and where you are moving too based on text descriptions. If I have to do the work, you can't vetch out where you get moved.
Also, someone messed up the grid work. If you do, try to fix it please, thanks.
Sorry it slipped my mind that I can actually interact with the map, added some guides for Wilhlm. I'll stop somewhere on that path so that I'm the last person leaving the battlefield. :)
Move speed for Triumph should be 110 feet or so (horseshoes of speed and haste which may or may not stack) for a single move.
I don't think the haste will stack with horseshoes of speed, both enhancement bonuses.
Probably not on review (you beat me to it), so I'll just have to be content with 80 feet of movement per action. :)
Noob moment: I had no idea that I could move myself. I'll start doing so!
I should have Ubagub/Gorruum's movement set.
NP Pruett, sorry, thought you knew.
I've figured out a way to lock down the grids, so now we don't have to worry about you guys moving them.
<- Is familiar and fighting is very relative here :P
But other then that you are right ^^
_____________________________________
I pro-actively added Lumnia to the map also!
Ikit form what I can see you can not add both Concussive bomb* and Smoke bomb* to the same bomb as they both have the (*) after thier name.
In that case... just smoke
-Posted with Wayfinder
I was a great idea and I wanted to use it myself, if I could
There is a wind-wall between Ikit and the Kobolds, if he throws the smoke bomb, it will not make it through the wall (probably). Do you still want to throw one?
Then no... heh. Just escape. Will uset if we are chased
-Posted with Wayfinder
So is Ikit holding his action?
Yes. He will ready an action vs being followed
-Posted with Wayfinder
Looks like we have another kobold before Gorruum, but Gorruum is most likely going to just ride off the map.
Careful Gorruum it might be the end of the world you ride off of
Ha, he'll probably just fall into a swamp and be able to happily splash around. All these confusing politics. Aren't you just supposed to smash people that shoot at you?
I can do some more channeling, if needed. I'm not sure what everyone's current hp is.
Should probably get a feel for the local terrain. I'm guessing not swamps and that it is either plains for forested. The latter is a favored terrain so Gorruum can grant a +2 to allies within sight on Stealth and Survival and we leave no trail ourselves. OOTO if its plains, we're out of luck.
Hills & Forests
Should I assume you tie Anastacia to her saddle and then continue on until you can find a safe spot? That'll require some Survival checks.
That's my current thoughts. Multiple watches at once, preferably. Wilhelm can pray in the morning for a few castings of Lesser Restoration to help out.
Haven't had the time to sit and look at the watch order. Probably want multiple people on watch at any given time. I can look tonight (7 hours or so from now), but if someone else has thoughts, feel free to chime in. :)
I have thought on some but had a busy week so havn't be able to put them to word yet.
I've thought on one rotation, but with the people who needs a certain amount of rest time to get spells and stuff back, I would like to people to tell me what they think and how many spells they have used if any.
1st: Wilhelm, Natalie
2nd: Gorruum, Ikit
3rd: Fharn, Pruett
Got
1st- Snowball, Bed of Iron, Liberating Command, Feather Fall, Crafter's Fortune
2nd- Mirror Image, See Invisible
left up with Bed of Iron probably going away during tonight.
But if it comes to it Fhârn can also hit people somewhat ok with a pointy stick so his rest may not be as important as the other casters.
I'm fine with that order. Gorruum doesn't have spells. Ubagub hasn't used any.
Looks good to me.
Let me know where you want to camp at. There are multiple good places to camp on the map. If you pick somewhere near the edge, I'll have to add some more to the map.
Each good place also has downsides to it. Top of the hill, you can see farther and have a defensible position, but you are also more visible.
In the gully you are less visible and more defensible, but things can sneak up on you easier.
Ruins restrict line of sight, which is both good and bad.
I put a triangle where I think we should camp. There is a sunburst where it would be good to have a faux camp. If we had an illusion, or could keep a dancing lights happening there some. Anastacia could cast light on a stone that was wrapped in red cloth. Might make them think it wa a fire, but only lasts 70 minutes/casting.
It would be nice to put some punji stakes in the water approach too. I don't know how much time we would have for such preparations though.
We need cover from their ranged attacks, so the trees would be best, I think.
Anyway, that's my take on it.
I think either the area Anastacia has chosen or the ruins so we have something to prevent them from attacking from all sides at ocne.
Giving everyone else time to comment.
My main worry about the suggested spot (triangle) is that the terrain around it is sorta rough and that if the kobolds find us they can shoot at us at will. But on the other hand, we could probably just leave again in that case ...
Consider my vote split between the ruins (better cover for a shootout) and the suggested spot (lots of terrain - both good and bad).
Fhârn should have a silent image scroll or two and they last for as long as he concentrates. It is totally possible for him to maintain it for his watch (creating a decoy camp at dawn at least [as it probably won't help much in the middle of the night!]). But that also means he is sitting almost in trance - and will probably not be that helpful for actually watching...
If the trees around the triangle spot don't provide cover, then it's no good at all. Same goes for any place we might choose. If it doesn't provide cover, then it's no good. We should probably avoid ranged combat with the kobolds, and try to meet them in melee.
I wasn't sure if a false camp would be possible. If not, we shouldn't bother with it.
Questions for MDT:
Is the forest pretty wet around here? Or, is it drought conditions. We encountered flooding earlier...
How deep is that stream near the triangle?
I have a wand of Silent Image with 50 charges, so we're good there.
