Peek-a-boo...

Those rolling a knowledge nature/survival DC 13 or higher realize the breeze is blowing towards the warhounds.

Gerard you do get a surprise round.

The breeze is blowing towards the hounds.

Here the map, I'm having a difficult time getting everything t show up how I wanted.

BATTLE MAP

heading to dinner

"Not... not good at all, really..." Euphemia admits, feeling Frank tense from his new position in the back of her dress.
Gonna observe initiative and let this happen organically.

Gerard you have a surprise attack.

Surprise Round:

Gerard

Initiative:

Thieves
Lucrezia
Orsin
Gerard
Ogres
Euphemia
Daniel
Andrea
Warhounds

Attack warhound at I9, +1 mirhral, range, flat-footed: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 1 - 1 = 31
Damage, sneak: 1d4 + 1 + 5d8 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (2, 4, 5, 1, 3) = 17

There is a yelp from the dog as the dagger sinks in.

Question: In other games I have had the GM state that I needed to make a Dex check with each shot if I attempt to shoot a bow while in a tree. Would you require anything of the sort or not?

Question: In other games I have had the GM state that I needed to make a Dex check with each shot if I attempt to shoot a bow while in a tree. Would you require anything of the sort or not?

No dex checks between shots. You will need to climb the tree successfully.

I suppose I will just shoot. I would be annoyed if I fell trying to climb a tree.

attack 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 14 - 2 = 15
damage 1d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 4 = 17
attack 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14
damage 1d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 = 12

Lucrezia shoots some arrows at a dog.

Orsin follows Daniel's orders, combat permitting. If he isn't directly engaged in melee, he uses the wand of feather step on Gerard. If a thief is adjacent to the bard and he can't five-foot away, he inspires courage and attacks the nearest instead.

Power Attack!: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 = 31

Threatened a Crit!: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 = 31

Schweet. Now I kinda hope someone gets up in Orsin's grill.

Damage: 1d8 + 1d8 + 18 + 18 ⇒ (2) + (2) + 18 + 18 = 40

Orsin you need to move into the open to attack. Right now with the difficult terrain you are 35 feet from the closest target. Gerard is 2- feet away with the difficult terrain.

RD 1: Thieves.

The thieves start to yell warnings once the warhound is hit with the dagger. The begin prepare for battle, (holding), until the enemy reveals themselves. Once the arrows fly from the Lucrezia bow additional directs are given.

Luc should have the hounds flat-footed.

I see, I thought they might have engaged by the time that my turn came up. In that case, Orsin casts feather step on Gerard, as per Daniel's orders.

Lucrezia's hit the dog in J, 10 it is dead.

RD 1: Thieves attack

Three of thieves move towards Gerard and the direction where he threw the dagger. Only one of the three can attack, since two double moved with the difficult terrain.

rapier, G 7: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27;damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The thieves to I, 12 and fires a long bow at Lucrezia.

LB: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

The last thief does an action that is out of view.

Current Map after thieves move

I'm quite dissatisfied how this map came out, I used someone from Dunjini prefab and it had preset grid lines that I did not like. So I put a yellow grid down and the export has only captured part of the lines. I think that is because of the view I'm using, it should get better if the battle gets closer.

Gerard feels his feet nearly come away from the soggy entangled terrain and is elated, nearly feeling he could fly.

He steps back towards Orsin and his hands blur into motion, unleashing a volley of deadly steel.

Attack1@Ogre, +1m dagger, pbs, rapid, range, flat-footed: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 23
Damage1@Ogre, pbs, sneak(ff): 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 5d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + (4, 4, 6, 6, 7) = 31
Attack2@Ogre, +1m dagger, pbs, rapid, range, flat-footed: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 12
Damage2@Ogre, pbs, sneak(ff): 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 5d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + (3, 6, 4, 2, 4) = 23
Attack3@Ogre, +1 dagger, pbs, rapid, range, flat-footed: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 15
Damage3@Ogre, pbs, sneak(ff): 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 5d8 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + (3, 5, 2, 4, 8) = 28

Thief missed Gerard, AC29 vs. Rapier. 5ft-Step to E7. Does 23 hit Flat-Footed Ogre? if so, AC31 vs. Ogre hit w/sneak.

Gerard's first dagger hits the lumbering ogre.

Is the third dagger from rapid shot? Pretty cool if it is since it is normally used with bows.

Yessir. Extra chance @ +5d8, gotta take it. -2 sucked, but looks like I would have missed anyway!

Would a 21 have hit? Just realized I screwed up and didn't take enough penalty for range. Should be -4.

RD 1: Ogres

The ogre that Gerard hit moves up and attacks Orsin with his greatclub using both hands,

GClub: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19;damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 7) + 7 = 22

The second Ogre moves forward and attacks Dogtongue with a two handed attack.

GClub: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22;damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 1) + 7 = 13

Striking the redcap fey hard.

Yeah, A dedicated fighter/thrower can get off a tone of attacks with TWF/ItWF/rapid shot/manyshot. Don't see it often on a 3/4 build though.

MAP AFTER OGRES

Yeah, A dedicated fighter/thrower can get off a tone of attacks with TWF/ItWF/rapid shot/manyshot. Don't see it often on a 3/4 build though.

I know how you dislike the rogue class but Gerard is going to make a believer out of you, and he didn't even optimize the character.

RD 1- update

Initiative:

Thieves - moved toward the battle. One missed Gerard; one arrow hit Lucrezia.

Lucrezia - killed one warhound

Orsin - moved up near Gerard and tapped him with featherstep

Dogtongue

I know yesterday was unusually slow, it was big work day, but I should be on quite a bit today. Feel free to post your actions even out of order, I'll try to make it fit the best that I can.

Conditions: 2 handed (no shield to AC)
Lunge -2 AC
+2 Attack and Damage Divine Favor
+2 Attack and Damage Inspire Courage

Daniel 5ft steps adjacent to Dogtongue and full attacks the ogre.
Burning a swift action for LUNGE.

2 handed PA Full Attack Inspired Divine Favor1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 29
Damage 1d8 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 9 = 27

2 handed PA Full Attack Inspired Divine Favor1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 21
Damage 1d8 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 9 = 25

I think no 5ft step, in difficult terrain. Gotta burn a move action, provoke AoO? Are you feather stepped? Orsin is Inspiring? Missed that...

Difficult terrain prohibits 5 ft steps.

I think the feather step wand had 10 charges and they were being used on the horses through the thickets and terrain.

It's also taken 3 hours to get to this point.

Assuming there is an AOO on Daniel.

The Ogre take a mighty two handed attack on the armored beast,

GClub: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21;damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 3) + 7 = 17

Missing the tin can.

Then one of Daniel's attack hits. If he had to take a move action then he can only attack once.

Ok MOVE action to D12. Take the first attack with Lunge.

Ok MOVE action to D12. Take the first attack with Lunge.

That was where I moved you. Great minds think alike.

Orsin follows Daniel's orders, combat permitting. If he isn't directly engaged in melee, he uses the wand of feather step on Gerard. If a thief is adjacent to the bard and he can't five-foot away, he inspires courage and attacks the nearest instead.

[dice=Power Attack!]1d20+10+2

[dice=Threatened a Crit!]1d20+10+2

Schweet. Now I kinda hope someone gets up in Orsin's grill.

[dice=Damage]1d8+1d8+18+18

He feathersteped Gerard and inspired with his move action

UPDATED MAP

The previous ogre attack on Orsin would have been on Gerard since Orsin did not move. Either way, the attack missed.

Good, Gerard moved to E7 (needed 5ft to throw without AoO). Corking that path, drawing "agro". Protecting the bard and keeping Daniel from fighting on 2 fronts. Thanks!

Euphemia grimaces at the ogres and pulls something small out of a pouch cinched around her waist. She moves forward to get a better look at the situation, licks the object in her hands and then screams something along the lines of.
"Eugh!"
The magic to follow.
Take a move action to get better line of sight, if possible, and cast web to hit as many of these foes as possible (but emphasis on the ogres). DC 18 reflex save.

Euphemia is B, 13 where you move into? It's 5 ft step but a 10 foot movement with the terrain? Where exactly are you centering the web as it's a 20ft radius.

Andrea
Warhounds
Dogtongue

Re: Web - If you center the web on the rogue in I, 12 it will catch the rogue, one ogre near daniel and the hound in I,9.

Andrea moves to D-13 and mutters randomly under her breath, the words becoming a maddening cresendo as she gestures and causes an explosion of babbling voices erupt in the midst of their foes.

Casting Confusion at I-10. 15' Burst Save DC 19
Confusion Effects

That's perfect. As for the move, let's go forward, towards Daniel. Less people to get in the way when I vomit bugs.

What is the reflex save Euphemia? Can you post the save DC when you cast a spell?

A gooey glob of web springs forth covering the area.

Ogre: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

thief: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

warhound: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Simply terrible dice.

As all three become entangled in stringy mess.

Will saves from Confusion spell:

Ogre, G 9: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Thief, H 7: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

dog, I 9: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

dog, J 8: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Each creature is effected by the confusion.

Ogre: 1d100 ⇒ 48
Babbles
thief: 1d100 ⇒ 94
Attacks thief in G,7
warhound: 1d100 ⇒ 9
Acts normal
warhound: 1d100 ⇒ 90
Attacks WH in I,9

I did. It's a dc 18 reflex save. ;3

RD 1:

The confused warhound bites at I,9

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26;damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

confirming crit

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

The damaged is confirmed. The dog yelps and bites back at it's attacker

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25;damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Hitting

The last warhound moves to G, 7 and bits at Gerard:

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10;damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Missing.

---the confused WH gets a trip chance.
trip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The trip failed.

I did. It's a dc 18 reflex save. ;3

Oops I missed that, nevermind.

RD 1: Dogtongue

The Ogre is caught in the web and I don't think he gets an AOO, since he has not broken free yet and he is grappled.

His scythe flashes quickly,

dogtonue: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21;damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10

His blade hits home.

RD 2:

Andrea i've rolled the confusion that applies to all but the one WH, who has already taken his confused action. You can roll that on your turn.

I'll put the map up after the thieves move. That should make more detail visible.
