Duncan or John make a Str check DC18 for ramming the door and breaking it open. +2 for the portable ram and +2 for the other one assisting. This is the RD 2 action. Move is to get there std action is the ram.

Andrea had channeled and healed everyone for 6 points in round 2

John is stronger. I'll assist.

I'll DMPC the John's strength check roll.

Str Check vs DC18 break: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 26

The door busts open with Duncan and John following the ram into the temple.

Andrea follows, keeping her shield up

I'm going to wait till everyone has their RD2 action, then I will re-roll initiative for the first inside encounter. I'll put a map up a that time.

Orsin chugs down one of his cure light wounds potions, struggling to keep up with the group and, you know, not die.

Potion of cure light wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

The potions are CL 5 because Arael created them, correct?

Shinon groans and ducks into the tower, drawing a potion in his off hand.

Move action to move inside the temple, standard action to draw a potion of cure light wounds.

He glances back at Andrea. "Thanks for that. Are you alright?"

My wounds are better, but I am still *CENSORED FOR DISAPROVING MODS* PISSED OFF!

Orsin chugs down one of his cure light wounds potions, struggling to keep up with the group and, you know, not die.

[dice=Potion of cure light wounds]1d8+5

The potions are CL 5 because Arael created them, correct?

They are normally 1d8+3.

MAP RD 1, INSIDE

Missing Ermolos in the pile-up?

Andrea looks to Fiosa. I will cast an invisibility spell on you, so you can help us without exposing yourself. It will last three minutes or until you attack someone. You can heal us without breaking the spell.

Assuming Fiosa has no objections, Andrea casts Invisibility on her (Three mintues or until broken)

Andrea will then move inside when the others move further in.

Orsin throws the empty bottle to the ground, letting it shatter on the stone and packed dirt below. He pulls out a stronger potion, uncorking it with his teeth and drinking down its contents greedily.

Potion of cure moderate wounds: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 6) + 5 = 14

Okay, I definitely remember the CMW's having a CL 5, but if not I'm back at full anyway.

Orsin then takes his five-foot step to F8, his back up against the wall.

Don't drink too much, it will go to waste if we get pin cushioned again. Orin sees Andrea wave her hand over Fiosa and the halfing woman vanishes from sight.

If you delay your move some, you might be able to get in after Duncan moves.

Duncan casts Divine Favor and pushes Past John to E6 drawing his Bastard sword as part of the move.

Adjacent to John, Duncan's AC is 21. Andrea did you cast shield of faith on me yet. If so AC is 23.

Not yet, I channeled last turn and my action this turn is to turn Fiosa invisible so she doesn't get crossbow'd and then move inside with the others. I'll SoF you as soon as I can

That by the way is an excellent plan, so is not sporting many HPs.I bumped her up 1 NPC adept level so she wouldn't go down on one shot - er, most likely.

Obviously with these AP maps the grid and lines don't match up well with the lines on the map, so we need to bare with one another wiht the coordinates. I tried manipulating the gird yesterday but ite looked terrible.

To set the stage, you see two wooden tables that have some loose coin, cards and knuckle bones on them. they were obviously gambling befor eht bell went off. Fout chairs are near each table, in the north east corner is a stack of small wooden crates, a pari fo watr barrels, and on the far west wall is a small table. There is a hallway to the north west, and you see a tiefling clothing trailing him as he moves into the hallway. The southeast corner has an entrance to the bell tower. the place smells of beer, sweat and dog.

There is on tiefling exiting down the hallway as the door crashes open, there are four other tieflings in the room - two with light crossbows out and two with light maces out - and there is growling coming from a mangy one-eared dog near a table.

[

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Shinon turns to see a tiefling standing on the table in front of him. And then the dog to his left...not good. Shinon nods to himself tightens his focus. He taps his feet on the ground, feeling his body loosen up. He's still light on his feet. Good. He's going to need to be careful to not get hit by anything.

Shinon spends a standard action to take the Total Defense action, granting him a +6 Dodge bonus to his AC

Rd 2 begins:

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

(Just holding until I see some others move, Can't get to Duncan just yet,, but I will try to act before the tielflings)

Andrea is too far away and the sound of battle muffles the words from inside the temple.

JOHN, Wake Up!

Orsin takes a standard action to begin his bardic performance, inspire courage (which affects everyone THIS round except John). He draws his masterwork longsword with his free hand, still holding the wand of silence in the other.

+1 competence bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls.

GMPC'ing John's RD1 aciton.

John attacks the tiefling in D6 with his +1 Long sword long sword PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 231d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

With his precision attack he downs the tiefling in D6. He follows this up with a move into D5.

I will hold off on John's RD2 action. So far, Orsin has acted in RD

Andrea and Duncan why don't you take your acitons, I'll fit John and Shinon in a the end of the round.

Cause I'm waiting to see if Andrea is gonna Shield of Faith me. I am also choosing between the guy threatening Shinon or John. John's action affects mine.

Will post to help things up.

Andrea slips in to E7, right behind Duncan and casts shield of Faith on him(+2 AC, 3 minutues I believe)

Just move some Ermolos, so Fiosa and Orsin can step in.

RD2:

John attacks the tiefling in D4,
PW Att: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Gr Ax: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d12 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

The boy slices open the intestines of the foe in front of him growling, That's for the head.

RD2:

Fiosa uses her invisbility to move to C7 and she monitors the party's health.

Those inside can clearly hear the yelling "Get the mummies we need help upstairs!"

tieflings

Doubly Protected by Andrea's spell Duncan forgoes the use of his buckler for now and takes a 2 handed swipe at the Tiefling on the Table threatening Shinon.

2 handed PA, Inspired, Blessed, Divine Favor attack, minus buckler1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 26

2 hand Power Attack, Inspire, Divine Favor Damage1d10 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 16

As Duncan lands a mighty blow, nearly cleaving the mans legs and severing a femoral artery he yells, Ha! Ye ain't getting in front o me in the count John!

He then moves around the table to pin the dog attacking Shinon in the corner
BAD DOG!

FATALITY!

Andrea hears the word 'mummy' and some thoughts pass through her mind that might be helpful.

Know-Religon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

The tiefling is missing his leg and he is clearly dead, the dog rolls submissively on its back exposing it's mangy belly to the the group..."er..r..r <whimper> r...r..." his tails nervously tucked.

First orphans and now dogs!

Andrea's rage filled heart melts at the sight of the poor dog.

Aw..Puppy. Is puppy scared? We won't hurt puppy. Theres' a good lad.

FATALITY!

Andrea hears the word 'mummy' and some thoughts pass through her mind that might be helpful.

[dice=Know-Religon]1d20+6

If the Bastards have mummies we are in for a difficult fight! They are undead that can inflict cursed wounds and make you rot away and cause us to collapse in despair. They burn rather easily.

Here is the updated map. The main room of the temple has been cleared, with the dog whimpering before you. You heard footsteps heading back up the belltower, and the door is apropped open with a brick.

The hallway on the west wall is actually a stair case heading down.

What is the group doing next? I thik Orsin only ahd his inspre courage going for the round so he will drop that and not waste any more uses right now.

Up or down? They said they had mummies downstairs. There might be the wizard up in the belltower?

Andrea dings any non obviously dead Bastards with Stablize...for later.
