Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

The size of the transport is 7 feet square, 5 feet high, riding roughly 2 feet off the ground. The hitch being used permits both horse to share a single 10 foot space. That was what the perception checks were for, along with more detailed description of the carriage.

The lead horseman is somewhat started at Duncan's sudden stumbling out. He lifts his sword yelling, "vacate the road ye bandit."

The two horseman to following will bandish their weapons and shields.

Shinon's arrow clinks off the coach, the Hellknight riding on the top yells a warning, "Bandits" attempts to ascertain where the arrow came from. Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 While the man sitting on the rear pulls is loaded crosbow.

Everyone but Kenji has acted in this surprise round. Let's hold off till he posts, which he mentined should be soon. After that I will roll out initiative.

End of the surprise round recap:

Duncan double moved south from the trees and is on the road yelling at the horsemen. Cast Bless earlier then Activated Judgment.

John doned his shield and followed the dwarf.

Andrea cast guidance on Shinon.

Shinon held until Andrea cast guidance, then fired an arrow at the guard with the balista.

Kenji held action.

MapTell me if anything is wrong

That is pretty darn good. The carriage's horses should be side by side but it works the way you have them. If you did move them the carriage could be moved up 10 feet. Seriously, it doesn't really matter in this gaming context.

Don't spose we could retcon the bow.shot? The plan was to wait till they were ON the bridge. Duncan would not have walked out till they were.

Don't spose we could retcon the bow.shot? The plan was to wait till they were ON the bridge. Duncan would not have walked out till they were.

Smiles we could but the shot was done when in range. Lets see how this plays out.

If we TPK Andrea's mom is going to kick the butt of the Resistance!

Duncan, seeing the trap sprun early tries a different tack. Unlike the others he was not wearing a helm or a mask. The caravan, being attacked as it was from the rear by masked bandits so hopefully the unmasked dwarf who hadn't pulled weapon would seem an ally.

He looks at the driver.Bluff1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Run ye durned fools. Two score comin from yer back ta stop ye. Fight em from THIS side an ye can nullify thier number

The driver's sense motive: sense Motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2

"Nck Nck, Gitti up, yah, as the driver flicks his wrists to move the horses forward. The heavy wagon lurks forward. The others on the wagon look a bit confused as to the wagon's movement forward.

Duncan, are you doing anything else or holding for now? Dang nice roll you made and the dice god was agaisnt me.

Shinon aims for the ballista operator's head again. He lets another arrow go.

I don't have guidance at the moment, so no +1 from that.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Shinon can take his action when he signs in and I will fit it in the order.

The rider to the Northside of the road (H2 - AB109) yells, "HALT THE BLASTED WAGON DIMMIT! HARPER RIDE OUT THERE AND SEE WHAT THAT STUNTED GROWTHED VERMIN WANTS, CUT 'EM DOWN IF YOU HAVE TO...YOU ARE ON THE RACKS BUSINESS." Surveying the situation and landscape he directs both gaurds off each side of the prison carriage. "Two by two, and on yer feet he directs." Holding the rest of his aciton.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Trees to the North bandits!

Guard (G2) jumps off the northside running board and unsheaths his longsword. He dashes to hex Z105, holding the remainder of his action.

John will move to (AC,-128), then says to Duncan"I don't think this is going to end well"

The Balista operator on the wagon, points towards Shinon and lets it fire in the rain. Bolt at Shinon: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (13) - 4 = 92d8 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

One of the riders H5 (AD-98) in the rear draws his longsword.

A guard (G1 moves to Y105) jumps off the Norht running board pulling out haeavy mace and dashes to Y105.

The guard riding on the top rear facing bench takes position holding his crossbow. Holding action.

Horse rider (H4) draws his pick and holds his location, he starts to bark orders as he remains in AF98.

Its Kenji's action now

Kenji does not have a death wish at this point so he will hold his action and not give away his position.

The horseman (H3) on the soutside of of the road holds his postion in AF109.

Guards (G3 and G4) jump off he south side of the carriage and move to AJ 105(G3 move0 and AJ 100(G4)

Now it is Andrea's turn

Andrea casts guidance(+1 hit) on Shinon again, a grim look on her face.

The lead horseman (H1 -"Harper") rides forward to AC123, his long sowrd is out.

Ride Check DC5: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

"Git off the road ye mudder's spawn from a goblin's seed."

Can't believe someone fired early...itchy fingers was suppose to be on the bridge, divide the group that was the key. Standing up from her cover she take a 15 foot movement directly east and fires her bow at the rider on the bridge (H1).

Bow shot at H1: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 4 = 111d8 ⇒ 7(minus 4 for weather)- missing wide on the stone bridge.

Hopefully the goons will ride out in a charge at least a few of them.

The driver on the wagon starts to go forward, turning to the left towards the rest area south of the road. The wagon makes a wide turn to his left (south) ending with its lead horse in AI113.

top of round 2 unless, Duncan, John or Kenji wants to complete their round.

Duncan seeing the plan quickly going south, shifts his judgement to improve his attack and whispers to john, Let's hope that fool elf shoots a horse, he's screwed the plan

Duncan moves forward to close with the hellknight and draws his Bastard Sword.
[bigger]Who're ye callin a Stunted Growthead. I'm telling ye, 2 score o banditsBluff1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Shinon frowns and adjusts his bow. "Damn...I can't pierce that guy's armor through this heavy rain. Alright, time to switch tactics..."

Shinon redirects his attention to the horses, thinking that at least from this distance he has a chance to completely negate the caravan's chance of escape. He aims and fires a single shot at one of the horses.

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

As the rider of H2 and G2 both focus on Shinon's locaton. "To the trees, rebels in the trees North side of the road." The rider (H2) moves his horse to near Shinon, (X121). Ride check DC5: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 and he falls off his horse in the sloppy mud and panic of battle. Acro to avoid fall damage: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d6 ⇒ 1 taking damage as he is thrown prone.

2 handed Judgement, Destructive Smite1d10+4+1+1

If duncan can't reach with a charge. He'll move and cast divine favor

Duncan you can get there but you need to succeed on a DC 11 Acrobatics(balance) check to get over the bulk of the deceased armored man in front of you.

If you make the check the Armiger is down by your blow.

Okay I am concious again and am feeling a bit better. Okay so I am prone....Alright then.

Wondering why I suddenly dropped to the ground I do a quick flip and am back on my feet. I follow it up with a swift kick but due to my disorientation I miss. I ready for the next Round.
Acrobatics to Stand without provoking. My score vs CMD1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Attack1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 For:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Acrobatics1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Shinon's stroke hits the guard with a solid blow, smashing the chest plate but incredibly he is still standing.
Hex X116, Andrea did not cast Guidance last round

Acrobatics1d20+3

After the fleet of foot dwarf dances over his recent kill he bears down on his next hellknight, who dared taunting him, slicing him down with his mighty bastard sword.

Meanwhile, Kenji can not understand why he belly flopped and can't find the WILL to stand up when battle is approaching. He continues to flop around like a fish out on a dock. If you have spellcraft you can make a roll. You will be able to get up on your next turn.

"Go help out at the carriage, I'll go help the others." John will double move to (y,-119).

The prone guard near Andrea tries to stand up. Andrea you get an AoA. Using his long sword he swings at the cleric."Die ye jelly boned thumb suckin' crud bucket." Sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 131d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3. His sword clinking off her armor but not penetrating.

Another guard makes a five foot step (G2 from X117 to Y116) and swing his sword at Shinon. Sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 missing as Shinon parries effectively.

Action to John

The ballista operator swivels his weapon towards Shinon and fires. 1d20 - 6 ⇒ (1) - 6 = -52d8 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 as the rain picks up even more. The bolt fires off wildly.

The Horseman on the ground (Hex 108) gets up looking for a targe to go after and moves to carriage. (Hex AG112 behind carriage)

The guard in combat with Shinon uses his heavy mace and tries to pummel his adversary's skull. Heavy Mace: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 261d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Connecting with a crushing blow.

The Guard sitting on the rear facing seat uses his cross bow and fires at Duncan. Lt Cross: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 4 = 141d6 ⇒ 3 missing the dwarf narrowly.

The horseman who has been in the back rides forward HALT! TROOPS RETREAT, RETREAT!"(to AD109)

Action to Kenji, you can get up now and nobody is swinging at you. I take it this is your move action? Are you doing anything else?

Shinon never entered combat with anyone, he used his bow on his last action.

(Next round's actions)

Shinon notices the men heading towards him. Gritting his teeth, he fires his bow at one of them, attempting to take him down quickly.

Attacking the guard at X116.

1d20+4 (+1 if Andrea casts guidance on her turn)
1d8+3

[ooc]John: I see that now, I thought he stepped up to engage with sword. Regardless, the guards X116 and X117 would move to engage Shinon. I thought I read Shinon was engaging with his sword.I didn't take off for Shinon's -4 shooting in rain or shooting through the trees (concealment) he still hit one of the guards.

Jelly boned? How rude! Andrea slashes at the guard as he tries to stand[/b]
AoO: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 41d6 ⇒ 1

When her turn rolls around, Andrea reaches out to the formerly prone guard who attempted to strike her, blood trickling from her fingertips. BLEED!

Touch attack. Bleeding touch. 1d6 damage. 1 use out of six used.

Bleeding touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 101d6 ⇒ 1

Unfortunately, the wind and rain make her mask fall over her eyes and she only hits the air.

The Horseman by the bridge is dead (H3) from Duncan's swing.

The two guards near the horse carriage would begin to backtrack and attempt to retreat in an orderly fashion. They would double move 60 Feet to the East. (This was AO111 and AO113 which can be moved to AO97 and AP101).

it is Andrea's turn, and below is the remainder of the round actions.

I'm going to my game. However, the cleric driver of the carriage would jump down on the east side of the coach and run to the east given an opportunity. If chased he would throw the key ring to the coach on the ground. He goes last in the round too.
janiven and the NPC would not chase and would accept the retreat.
