Rather adorable. I WANT ONE!

Rd 1: Bug

The beetle's belly and armored shell begins to shake as lashes out spewing a cone of acid.

acid, 23 DC to negate: 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 5) + 8 = 21

G1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
G2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
G3: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
G4: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
G5: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Beginning with first guard on the rock and working towards the guard near the trees.

The archer that Gerard hit is looking in terrible shape. The other guards that were hit wince in pain.

Here is the map, I left the cone effect of the bug's acid up so you can see who was caught in it.

Phem, don't fret... the crossbow is just an extension of you. If I drop him, then other one... Breathe, reload, shoot.

I might not have time later... same target, then the one behind him. I don't think it will affect Andrea.

Gerard drop the first archer on the rock that he previously targeted, then his third attack it the remaining archer on the rocks.

The Eagle pops into existance at C-3 and charges the guard at C-8, it's talons glowing with holy fire.(Smite evil) ending the charge at D-7

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Pardon me, Gerard! Andrea runs to -b,5 then up to -d,5 Heya handsome she says to the giant and then ends at -d,7 SMASH! she points at the guards and swings her fists (directing giant, I am using the run move)

Euphemia should be enjoying soft cover behind Gerard... I think she can shoot around him. Also remember, if you find a relatively safe spot (from melee attacks), you can use a crossbow while prone (risky) but ranged attacks get -4 vs. you.

Andrea?

Just gonna thwak some bandits!

Andrea runs and directs the giant on which bandit to smash.

RD 2: Giant

He steps to -G,-F, 5/6 and whacks at the first bandit,

GClub: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26;dam: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 3) + 10 = 14

The cracking bone sound resonates, then he thunks the bandit again,

GClub2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17;dam: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 6) + 10 = 24

but the second attack misses

RD 2: Front Guards

The three guards in then open move for cover agaisnt the bug. While the two on the side strike out a the bug's side:

FG1, longsword 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
FG1, longsword 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

FG2, longsword 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
FG2, longsword 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Three hits damage the creature for another 10 HPs.

Visually the bug looks like injured at least 1/3 down from your POV especially given its revious damage that was not all healed.

Euphemia tries to hit Gerard's latest target, trying the breathing exercises the rogue has suggested, aiming around him.
IC, Bless: Crossbow:1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 - 2 = 21Damage:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Summoned Celestial Eagle is Small.

Gerard considers Euphemia's shot, immediately after his own... Excellent form, nice trajectory.

Yep, small

Augh! We have to protect the bug!

Euphemia's bolt hits home making the archer grunt in pain.

Daniel stows his quickdraw shield and uses his Lay on Hands on the bug.
Touch attack. Ignores bug nat Armor 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Damage Healed 4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 2) = 13

That's it friend. Get them.

Are you kidding me? Daniel is suddenly "little bunny foofoo"? Kill something!

This may have been addressed earlier, but if so I can't find it. Can we charge in this terrain?

Orsin moves to strike down the enemy at 5,-I, charging in a straight line to bring him down.

If not charge, Orsin double moves into threatened area and strikes on his next round. If so, minus 2 from the attack roll.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Oh, well, nevermind then.

Don't let go (of the sword), Jack!: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Normal terrain, clearing, not difficult..

Don't forget your bonuses, even though you rolled a 1

Well. I checked in at 0050 and not my turn. Back to bed. ;)

RD 2: Side Guards

The remaining archer on the large rock will fire her bow at Orsin:

archer 2: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 1 = 18;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
archer 2: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 22;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
One arrow hits the bard.

The archers on the other side:

Both of the archers in the giant's threat range step away five feet and fire a the giant.

archer 3: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
archer 3: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

archer 4: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
archer 4: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The last archer on the giant's side will shoot at Orsin one more time:

archer 5: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 = 19;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
archer 5: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
I think you ahve 20 or a 22 AC correct, bless and prot from evil?

Confirming the crit on the giant:
archer 4: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
confirms the crit.

The giants wobbles and topples over to the ground.

RD 2: Bug

The massive beetle doesn't see any food in front of it so it turns and chops at the bandit D, 9

bite: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36;damage: 6d6 + 18 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 4, 1, 5) + 18 = 42

The longsword wielding bandit cries out in pain and his body has an enormous chuck of flesh missing from it but he is still up.

The eagle flaps up to -f,7 and pecks and claws at the bandit at -G,8

This f~&*ing dice roller!

fumble: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Andrea and the eagle miss their attacks.

How is Orsin within melee of the archer? Is the map correct?

This may have been addressed earlier, but if so I can't find it. Can we charge in this terrain?

Orsin moves to strike down the enemy at 5,-I, charging in a straight line to bring him down.

If not charge, Orsin double moves into threatened area and strikes on his next round. If so, minus 2 from the attack roll.

[dice=Power Attack]1d20+2

Oh, well, nevermind then.

[dice=Don't let go (of the sword), Jack!]1d20+1

This was his post.

Phem, see if you can take down that archer... You're gonna be fine. I've got to go for a sec...

Gerard runs just above the surface of the ground, rushing towards and past Andrea.

Fly (no loss of Dex to AC), double move to -H,9. Forgot that Orsin went after the archers, sorry.

Daniel (after the guards turn) 5ft steps up to the guard to his front. He viciously attacks, 2 handed.
2 hand PA, Inspire Courage, Bless 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 22
Damage 1d8 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 6 + 2 + 9 = 23

2nd Attack, Inspire Courage, Bless 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 14
Damage 1d8 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 6 + 2 + 9 = 19

NOTE: DEPENDING ON THE STATE OF THE GUARDS when my turn comes up, Daniel will attack the most wounded one. His priority is to drop a foe so there is only one and not two to counter attack next round

Phem, see if you can take down that archer... You're gonna be fine. I've got to go for a sec...

Gerard runs just above the surface of the ground, rushing towards and past Andrea.

Fly (no loss of Dex to AC), double move to -H,9. Forgot that Orsin went after the archers, sorry.

I'm not really sure what you are doing here? Did someone actually cast fly on you? I know there was discussion of casting fly when you get to the baddie. Did I miss a post? If you are flying you need to need to tell me height you are at and take that distance into account with your movement. You need to take you ascending rate into account that is 1/2 rate. If you are moving just above the ground - 6 inches 3 feet, I have no idea - then provide the path you going because there are AOO that may occur.

Perception:1d20+2

Stealth:1d20+2
Euphemia is too smitten and worried to act appropriately, apparently, ignoring obvious tells around her and hiding... badly, to say the least.

She does cast a spell of flight on Gerard, however, once the party gets close enough to make it economical.

It was low key, but all love.

Euphemia would have cast it on him right before battle.
Euphemia gulps and takes aim once more at the same archer.
1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 25Hit? Damage (I just now saw the buff summary):1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

She then runs towards the bug.

Ok then Euphemia cast fly on Gerard before battle. I still need to know more information for the move. How far is "just above the ground"? I have no idea what that means. If Remember you ascend at 1/2 speed, that could effect how far you fly. Plus, I need to know a path that you took, otherwise I will take each and every AOO.

Sorry, assembling kid's bed. Taking full advantage of the archers having ranged weapons, and presuming they are not trained in the art of quick draw (his specialty) or unarmed combat.

Path: start @ (-B,-2) fly at ground level/upright ("running") to (-E,7), somersault/ascend to leap over the wounded archer @ (-G,8) landing @ (-G,9) and walking to (-H,9). He has 120' (double move) and is trying not to flaunt/give away that he can fly. He seems to be moving fast.

the AOO become a non-ssue since -G,8 and -H,9 each had longbows in hand.

Euphemia's arrow hit home and the archer slumps over the rock, his bow tumbles to the ground.

I can't update the map from this computer, so that will have to wait till I get home. This computer is running a different version of maptools than my laptop.

RD 3: front Guards

One of the front guard moves around the rock repositioning himself at G, 10 his buddy does the same moving to G,11.

I'm not sure what yoru AC is right now.

-I,10 takes a full round attack and swings his sword at Gerard.

FG3, longsword 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
FG3, longsword 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The two guards attack the beetle,

FG1, longsword 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
FG1, longsword 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

FG2, longsword 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
FG2, longsword 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17;damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

the bug gets hit three more times,

AC 26 vs Longsword.

Gerard's flesh gets nicked by the guard.

RD 3:

Using Daniel's previous post he takes the 5 ft step and hacks that the seriously injured guard that was bitten, putting him out of his misery.

RD 3: the two archers on the rock are slumped over, not moving.

The archers on the other side:

Both of the archers in near Gerard step away five feet and fire a the giant. -H,8 steps to -I,7 while -f,8 steps to -J,6 then fire.

archer 3 at Andrea: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
archer 3 at andrea: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The hurried archer misses.

archer 4 at Gerard: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
archer 4 at Gerard: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Stepping back threw off the archer's aim.

The last archer steps 5 feet from Orsin, -I,5 to -J,6,

archer 5 at Orsin: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
archer 5 at Orsin: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The arrow sinks deeply in the bard.

RD 3 actions remaining:

I'll give Orsin a little time before I DMPC his action today.

Could you please review the posted movement/actions for the archers near Gerard. One seems more than 5ft. And can they/we occupy the "rock spaces"?

RD 3: bug

I posted the attack and damage int eh wrong thread, but he hit for 40 points.
