Non-Gaz group:

Spoiler:
Rayne follows Urthona into the office and his eyes go wide at the sight of the dark figure and the deceased halfling. Init: 15 + 2 = 17.

Reposted from Recent Posts as it disappeared here.


The non-Gaz group:

Spoiler:
Shagraat to go first.


M Hobgoblin Monk 3

Non-Gaz...

Spoiler:

I'm not sure about the linear distances involved. Do I have a shot of getting in and attempting to hit this thing? If I tumble through tight areas to an open square, I think I should get 15'. Is it possible to get to an open square to support Urthona, or potentially get an AoO if it tries to run?


The non-Gazzas

Spoiler:
The figure is about 10' away, and there is a clear space on all sides.


M Hobgoblin Monk 3

Non Gaz

Spoiler:

Tempted to flurry, but I don't want to hurt my chances of hitting with an AoO. Regular unarmed attack with an Action Point, dealing subdual damage if I hit.

d20 + 4 (AP) + 2 = 17. Normal damage is d6 + 2 = 6.

With a hoarse war cry, Shagraat darts into the room and aims a disabling blow at the creature's chest. Does such a thing have a solar plexus?, he wonders.


Non-Gazzas:

Spoiler:
Shagraat connects but his blow is absorbed by what appears to be armour or some kind, probably leather (he can feel the straps and buckles as he contacts). On closer inspection, the figure would seem to be a fairly ordinary humanoid of some kind, with perhaps a light-absorbing enchantment on their armour for stealth.

Notwithstanding this revalation, he, she or it feints to the left before bringing the dagger up to the right, aimed at Shagraat's ribs.

Shagraat, try a DC 20 Sense Motive check, adding your (non-existent at this point) Base Attack Bonus to the roll.

Gazzas:

Spoiler:
"I can hear fighting," murmurs Gaz, gripping the haft of his flail.


Male Human Sorcerer 3

Gaz's

Spoiler:
"Well, lets go then." Colvare impaitently pushes forward and up the stairs, pausing at the door long enough to prepare a spell, then kicking the door in, and letting another ball of fire loose at the first enemy he sees.

Aubry, what rolls would you like for that? and how many APs will it cost? :)


The Gaz group:

Spoiler:
Patience, padawan.

Colvare (and presumably the rest of you) rush up the stairs, Gaz following. About 20' to the right can be seen a doorway, where Rayne and Urthona are poised, looking in. Past them, Shagraat is in combat with a slim figure dressed in black, so dark it is almost a clot of night against the bright window behind. The halfling gangster lies flat on his back on the floor, blood spreading about his head.

The non-Gaz group:

Spoiler:
With a pounding of feet the rest of the group erupt into the corridor from a set of stairs to a lower floor about 20' behind, Gaz the minotaur coming up the rear.

Roll initiative, but you will lose a round to the others first.

OK, that's probably the end of the spoilers now.

But, but, but!!!

Colvare halts at the top of the steps, and seeing Shagraat in combat, causes a blast of fire to fly uneeringly at the figure in black.

Magic Missile Damage (1d4 1=4)(Auto Hit...)


M Hobgoblin Monk 3

Sense Motive: d20 + 2 + 0 (BAB) = 14. Does this mean I'm flat-footed now?

Too late to add it now to my attack, but are we still under the affects of Hamathin's bless?

Oi! You never heard of initiative?!

You are flat-footed, and you are still blessed.

The knife plunges into Shagraat's unprotected side.

15 points of damage.

Urthona.

When you said no spoilers, you never mentioned initiative....

Init (1d20 2=7)

And that is what I get for jumping the gun....c'est la vie. Any chance of in init chart that isn't spoilered? I am guessing you already have the one for the non-gaz group?

Roll initiative.

Initiative: 1d20+1: [14,1] = (15)


Female Half-elf Beguiler 3nd

After failing to learn anything new from the body Mirra starts after Colvare with her sword drawn. She gets to the doorway as the assassin stabs Shagraat in the side.

Init 8+1 = 9


M Hobgoblin Monk 3

Shagraat watches in horror as the knife slips between his exposed ribs. Darkness descends...

God-damn! Did he critical and sneak attack me? 15 pts is a ton of damage to take from a knife!


M Elf (Aeranal) Cleric 2

Init (1d20 1=12)


Male Shifter (Longstride) Barbarian 2/Fighter 1

Urthona moves to the shadowy figure and attacks him with his longsword.

Attack with Action point(bless +1 forgot); Damage with rage (1d20+6+1d6+1=17, 1d8+5=6)

Those are pretty abysmal rolls...


Varies (tends towards Male) Changeling Warlock 3

Rayne calls out a moment too late to the shifter and hobgoblin. "Wait, you idiots! That might be Harmal!" The changeling waved his hands to the approaching group to signal them to stand down as well.

"We have business to discuss! There's no need for violence!"
Diplomacy: Nat 20! + 9 + 2(AP) = 31.

Shagraat:

Spoiler:
Don't forget you can use an AP to stabilise. That wasn't a crit, buit it was a sneak attack - in fact, I toned done the potential damage. Think on that as you lie there bleeding....


Urthona's sword swooshes through empty air as the figure easily ducks under the blow.

The figure pauses, seemingly listening to Rayne.... And then makes a dive for the desk in the room, where a series of ledgers have been haphazardly piled.

Urthona is the only one in melee range. If he succeeds in a DC 20 Sense Motive he realises this is a Bluff and gets an AoO, otherwise the figure moves to the desk and grabs the topmost book unimpeded.

Search roll. If you get 15 or more:

Spoiler:
Piercing the curious blackness around the figure, you realise that this is probably an elf.

If you get 20 or more:

Spoiler:
And a female elf, to boot.

If you got either of the Search rolls above, try a Knowledge (Nobility and Royalty) check, DC 20 (Mirra can try this untrained):

Spoiler:
Maybe this is one of the highly lethal assassins from House Thuranni, which is possibly not good news.

Knowledge Arcana, DC 17:

Spoiler:
The darkness effect on the figure is likely a Shadow enchantment on the armour for stealth purposes.


M Hobgoblin Monk 3

Dead men read no spoilers.

If we're out of initiative order, or when my turn comes up and I am still bleeding out, I will spend that AP.


Male Shifter (Longstride) Barbarian 2/Fighter 1

DC20...? Sense Motive? Okay I have a 5% chance...

sense Motive (1d20=2)

Urthona sees in bewilderment as the figure makes a grab for the books, he will certainly set them on fire...


OK, new round. This is a simple room, 20' by 20', A-D across the top and 1-4 down the side. The door is at B4, the window at D2-3. The dark figure is at A2, and Urthona is at B3. Assume the rest of you (except Shagraat, who is lying on the floor) are in the square just outside the room, and can move in as they see fit. The dark figure has had their action (to move to A2 and grab the books). We are now on initiative. That is:

Dark Figure
Urthona
Rayne
Benedetto
Hamathin
Mirra
Colvare

Urthona next.


Male Human Sorcerer 3

Search
(1d20+1=8) :(

[ooc]Search roll.

Search = 1d20+2: [2,2] = (4)


Female Half-elf Beguiler 3nd

Mirra catches a glimps of the figure in the shadows. "It's not Hamel, she is an elf."

Search 18+8 = 26
Knowledge(nobility) 10+2 = 12
Knowledge(Arcane) 5+3 = 8


Male Shifter (Longstride) Barbarian 2/Fighter 1

"Elf or no elf, she can still die." Urthona steps to the shadowy figure and rises his sword.

Attack and damage (1d20 6=14, 1d8 5=13)

I hate these dice...a study in futility


Urthona's sword swooshes again as he attacks the air near the elf.

Rayne.


Varies (tends towards Male) Changeling Warlock 3

Sorry for the delay. I've been terribly ill since Wednesday and haven't been to work at all. Mostly in bed with a fever and all that. I'm still home sick, but I'm functional now.

Rayne sneers a bit before taking aim with his slender finger and loosing a bolt of flame at the shadowy figure.

Attack: 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 3. Yeah, there's no way that hit.


Rayne's blast scorches the far wall.

Benedetto.


Male Human Ardent 5 / Flayerspawn 1

Benedetto holds. If someone close to him takes damage, he'll expend his focus and take the damage. If any enemy tries to pass him, he'll attack.


Hamathin.


M Elf (Aeranal) Cleric 2

If you said where Shagraat is, I can't find it. If I can't do this without drawing an AoO, I'd like a chance to revise.

Hamathin sidesteps the melee and kneels beside the hobgoblin, whispering a prayer and touching him.

Aubrey, Shagraat

Spoiler:
Swap Create Water for Cure Minor Wounds, cure 1hp


You can do that.

Hamathin mutters a healing orison, stopping the hobgoblin's bleeding.

Now Mirra.


Female Half-elf Beguiler 3nd

Mirra steps thought the door and starts casting a spell and a flash of color come from her hands covering the elf.

Stepping to C3 and casting Color Spray DC 14, aiming at A1 square so should hit the elf but not Urthona. If Hamathin is in B2 I will revise my attack.
Color Spray
Will negates
Sprays a 15 foot cone and 2HD or less The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)
3 or 4 HD: The creature is blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round.
5 or more HD: The creature is stunned for 1 round.


The figure is engulfed in coloured light for a moment. The ledgers so recently grabbed fall from nerveless fingers.

COlvare sweeps his hands and a fiery missile pummels the figure, which just sways with the impact.

The figure is stunned. Urthona.


Male Shifter (Longstride) Barbarian 2/Fighter 1

"Ye won't geta'way... no, ye won't... blame it all on us..." Urthona steps to the shadowy elf and takes her into a securing grip.

Initiating a grapple... touch attack against AC8 + miscalleneous boni...
touch attack (1d20 6=25)

"Bind her!" he says.


Varies (tends towards Male) Changeling Warlock 3

Rayne rushes forward immediately, stooping down to grab the ledgers that the shadowy figure had attempted to abscond with.

That's it. Just moving up and grabbing the ledgers.


Rayne grabs the ledgers as Urthona siezes the dark figure.

Benny.


M Elf (Aeranal) Cleric 2

Aubrey, could you update on where everyone who is in the room is located? It's not at all clear to me for my map. Thanks.


To be honest, it isn't really clear to me either. I thought we would go fairly free-form for this fight.


M Elf (Aeranal) Cleric 2

Fair enough!


M Hobgoblin Monk 3

Just to be absolutely clear on Shagraat's position - I am lying on the ground in the middle of the pool of blood. :D


M Elf (Aeranal) Cleric 2

When my turn comes

Spoiler:

Hamathin moves within reach of the grappling pair, keeping his sword at the ready.
Ready attack on the elf if it/she breaks out of the grapple.


Benedetto will continue to hold.

Hamathin moves within reach of the grappling pair, keeping his sword at the ready.

Readies attack on the elf if it/she breaks out of the grapple.

Now Mirra.


Female Half-elf Beguiler 3nd

Mirra quickly scans the elf over and grabs any weapons she can see and tosses them in the far corner.

Spot Check 14+7 = 21
Search Check 10+8 = 18
I gave you both because I didn't know if I can search her in one round and I think Spot opposes concealed weapons.


If you want to grab any concealed weapons, it will require a touch attack too. There is a dagger dropped on the ground, and a hand crossbow on the belt. You can deal with one or the other.

Mirra grabs for the small crossbow at the elves belt.

Touch Attack: 12


Mirra grabs the crossbow and pulls it off the person's belt.
