He then drops his cross bow and pulls steel.
P:38 drops his crossbow and fluidly drawls his sword, "'bout time we use real weapons."

O:40 has to make a DC 15 reflex saving throw to use his greased crossbow, or he drops it. Which I guess he was going to do anyway. Hopefully it will shoot out of his hands like a greased tater, it will accidentally fire, and shoot him in the throat.
Round 3
"I'm moving up!" She shouts to Cir and Chell. The half-elf bolts from her cover and crosses the beach, anticipating Torgue and Sorrin will quickly dispatch the two crossbowmen once they close in. Once behind a dune Astrianna begins a war-chant, her voice resonating off of the cove's many cliff faces.

Torgue moves to M-37 to keep Astri behind him and away from any charging nasties. He then draws a potion of Enlarge(move), ready to quaff it and grow HUGES!

Astrianna Sparacello |

He was at 4 dexterity, Chell gave him 4 dexterity back, so he's at 8 dexterity, which is -1.
Astrianna looks at Sorrin strangely as he goes running by. "Where are you going? There's one left!" Her eyebrows raise at the sight of the gigantic Torgue. "On second thought... Torgue may have this under control."

baldwin the merciful |

Torgue moves over and considers taking his potion (I assume you will be taking it when you see what comes out), while Bri moves forward behind the fleeing Sorrin. The group begins to understand why sorrin fled as they see a four-armed, gorilla-like creature, covered with matted white fur, roars in rage as it rears up to its full, towering height.

Round4
Inspire Courage Active: +2 competence attack/damage +2 morale save vs fear and charm
Astrianna's eyes widen on seeing the beast, stepping around Torgue to raise her bow and fire a magical arrow at the beast.
The bard looks between it and Torgue, and whispers a prayer to Cayden that today will be Torgue's day of glory. She continues her song while she tries to figure out exactly what the creature is.

You know this is a creature called a Girallon. Girallons are among the jungle's most dangerous predators. They are aggressive, carnivorous, highly territorial, and incredibly strong. Worse, their four muscular arms are capable of inflicting incredible damage on anything that falls into their clutches. Their exotic appearance makes them popular creatures in certain cities as attractions in gladiatorial combats, either starved and pitted against each other, or set against gladiators eager to increase their fame and notoriety.
You've heard that if it hits with the four arms it can rend the flesh from a body.
Astri does hit it with her arrow, drawling it's attention to the tasty half-elf flesh.

Cireladwen |

Watching the bear of a man get stabbed so thoroughly seems to force Cireladwen to point her bow at him, though she would dearly love to take out the more impressive beast before it can wreak havoc with its massive arms.

Astrianna Sparacello |

Round 4
Astrianna immediately regrets drawing the creature's attention as its four eyes settle on her. Four eyes... Ah! Kahn fought the Gorillon, yet fights no more. Kahn's body had a head, but not any more. She recalls an unfortunate rhyme about the matter.
"Calistra's t$+@, Gorillon! Everyone, help Torgue, this is an incredibly mighty creature, it can literally tear people into chunks! Hinder its attacks, slow it down, anything!"

Sorrin the Wayward |

Torgue might be down with a crit.
Big guy's in trouble, soft target... Needs reinforcing. Strategic fall-back? The man moves forward, challenging the enforcer.
Does your mon-key have... cymbals?

N39, cause Sorrin's an idiot.

Chell Silves |

Round 3
Chell moves up with the others, also wondering why they are retreating. She comes to a sliding stop as the giant, four-armed Gorilla thing comes crawling out of the cave. "Quell help us," she mutters. It was a little surprising then when he vision began to focus and her trembling stopped. Apparently that counted as the words necessary to cast Prayer. Thanks Quell.
Move to L35 and cast Prayer. No save. +1 to allies in 40 and -1 to enemies within 40. 1/5 Rounds.
Round 4
She then casts a magic to conjure horrible images in the mind of hulking creature. Probably something like a mound of banana's that are all rotten inside.
Cast Doom on Gorillion. DC 15 Will.

Astrianna Sparacello |

Ooh that prayer is a cool spell. So +1 to everything for us? Astri would do 1 more damage to the Gorillon, Cir and Sorrin would do 2 more damage to the enforcer. Torgue would take 3 less damage as well.
Chell, I suggest a tagline like I do with Inspire Courage to remind everyone.

Chell Silves |

"+1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a -1 penalty on such rolls."

Chell Silves |

No worries, Chell... This is a test!
"And we are doing well," she says, not missing the sarcasm but also ignoring it. "The Dawnflower would be proud you stayed to help those in need and punish the evil."

Cireladwen |

Cireladwen gives Chell a reassuring look. She'd be damned if she let the cleric get swept up in a couple of moments with her last memory of a comrade being the "I told you so" spewing forth from Sorrin's lips (even if he did tell them so, there was no way of knowing whether or not the captives would still have been alive had they retreated).
If it came down to it, however, the elf would simply start yelling at any remaining human foes that their mothers are easy. That might get them off of the bear... The monkey thing, though... he may or may not understand any crude jokes.
...
Maybe if she shot him in the...

baldwin the merciful |

togure update you HP stat line.
RD 4: Girallon
the mighty beast lets out "Rawrr" as its jaws slam shout on Torgue,
bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
The bite misses.
But it's claws move to shred the flesh off of sorrin,
claw 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25;damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
plus if four claws hit rend: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
claw 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18;damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
claw 3: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14;damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
claw 4: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23;damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
I believe only one of the claws strike Sorrin this round.

Sorrin the Wayward |

Just realized enforcer is between Sorrin and Four-Arms... Does enforcer provide cover? Also, Prayer gives -1s. Enlarge gives you +2 damage, because it fixes your 2-handed fraction round down issue with 16 Str. You should be at +20 damage?

baldwin the merciful |

The enforcer does not provide cover.
Edit:
I need to look at the cover rule.
Edit 2:
No cover.
Any creature with a space larger than 5 feet (1 square) determines cover against melee attacks slightly differently than smaller creatures do. Such a creature can choose any square that it occupies to determine if an opponent has cover against its melee attacks. Similarly, when making a melee attack against such a creature, you can pick any of the squares it occupies to determine if it has cover against you.
