Baldwin the Merciful's: Razor Coast (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

If Sorrin is not going to attack, then Dinetta will delay until next round so that she gets a full attack. No way she will attack once and let these guys surround her.

I was waiting on the enforcers, did I miss their action in Initiative order? Apologies, if I did! Is Astrianna already providing a flanking partner? And, I can't tell the best place to jump... Right between them?! I don't know if there is space to the left of them... Baldwin, help.

No you didn't miss their actions, I haven't gotten to those yet.

I tried to tinker with the map tokens and grid size and can't get this one to work out scale wise. Let me try one other thing for the scale, if that doesn't work so be it we will just play it out.

Sorrin as far as areas to jump -D:5 and the square Dinetta is standing in are the only two on the dock edge that do not have crates/barrels. the crates/barrels are 7-10 feet high, this is what Dinetta had to climb over. The rest of the dock is pretty open.

Ok the map fix didn't work.

RD 2: Enforcers

The enforcer closest to Astri strikes out at her,

claw 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

He only uses one claw since he is hold the jawbone in one hand.

bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The second enforcer on the dock is scanning the area for any approaching threats.

----

The enforcers on the second dock and those on the pier light the whale oil. As the oil ignites the crowd beings to grow uneasy and panick.

Seeing the enforcers strike out at Astri, Dinetta speaks a prayer and then stabs out with both her mithral blades.

Both blades are mithral, so they should count as silver for DR. The rapier is magic, the dagger is not.

Blessing <-- +2 attack, AC, reflex

Damage: 1d3 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + (5, 6, 6, 5) = 25

Attack-iterative-rapier: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (1, 1, 6, 4) = 21

Those are some seriously crappy rolls, damage is ok if anything hit.

Dinetta you already rolled your RD 2 attack. I'm waiting on Sorrin's action.

Prior Post

Ah, I thought the enforcers had gone so we were up. My bad.

Sorrin leaps like some fish breaking the surface... his eyes wide as he sees sharks beneath him.

He tries to navigate between the two behemoths and emerge on the other side.

Acrobatics, haste, expert leaper: 1d20 + 15 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 12 = 46

I'm hoping that there is a path between the two enforcers... If it's a clear shot, he tries to jump as far as possible, if not hell land and advance on land. If it's one straight jump, he's 11ft high at mid arc.

Map Update

*I made the tokens smaller but it's still not to scale. Tell me if you all prefer this view.

Sorrin leaps from one dock to the other landing in position to attack.

...the future pirate prince attacks!

atk1, +1 silver scimitar: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 1 + 2 = 26
dmg, scimitar: 1d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14

Sorrin lands and strikes which brings about Dinetta's sneaks in to attack. Both attacks hit and the wereshark shrieks in pain.

With the resizing of the tokens I moved Dinetta up closer to the Sorrin hit.

The buff train has pulled into station, choo choo motherf$*#ers

Astrianna cries out as the Enforcer bites and scratches her. Damn, if the Dragoons weren't all crooked before, they are now.

She keeps weaving spells, assisting her companions and preparing to unleash ranged fury.

5' step to L6

Move action: Begin Inspire Courage (22/25)

Standard action: Cast Abundant Ammunition on an Alchemisic Silver Arrow

When you glance around you do notice pockets of resistance and fighting. Some lead by townies, or by dragoons, and ship crews. For the most part they are trying to put out fires and bring down werebeasts. From what you gather it's not going that well but it's early.

Dinetta seems to have been moved quite a bit. She was attacking the one between her and Astri, when I was mentioning Sorrin, I thought he was still at the top of the page and would charge that first enforcer. She should be at -I/5 before this move.

Dinetta will 5 foot step to -J/4 an then full attack the top enforcer, she should have flanking from Astri I believe. <-- Dinetta goes before Astri in the init.

Attack-rapier-twf--flanking: 1d20 + 14 + 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 31 <-- +2 flanking, -2 two, +2 Inspire Courage, +1 haste, +2 Blessing of Fervor

Attack-iterative: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 6 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 + (5, 2, 4, 6) = 27

Attack-dagger: 1d20 + 14 + 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d3 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (5, 2, 5, 1) = 16

Her mithral blades flash and bite into the werebeast's flesh.

Dinetta you initially were between the crates before I resized the token. After the resizing, I put you at the closest enemy to your position between the crates. It also changed some of the map coordinates.

I don't think you were in Astri's haste range either when she cast it, you were sneaking ahead.

I don't like reconning actions either. It gets too confusing and slows things up. This is also why I don't use the readied action while gaming on line. Way too much to track for DMs over multiple days. There's already enough work for the DM to track.

So there is no confusion. This is the map at the top of RD 3. Dinetta where do you want to move based on this map? Do not attack again, I will use your last roll.

Everyone remember these creatures are large and have reach.

RD 3 Map

*Astri I know you stepped back 5-ft and that will be reflected on the next map.

I am not trying to retcon anything. Dinetta was trying to get into a position where she could use her sneak damage. This was why she moved opposite Astri, to -I/5 (initially I also at the time I posted expected Sorrin to move opposite her, (not realizing that he had moved to a different pier), to give him flanking as well). This would have allowed her to get flanking on the enforcer to the north. She moved back there once she realized that there was no way to get behind Jalang. Without flanking, Dinetta is pretty much useless in a battle. She also has the Gang Up feat, but this requires 3 attackers and so far we, with only 4 players, seem to have never had 3 attacker, thus, I have been attempting to use positioning to get the flanking. This was why she had moved back to -I/5. If she cannot get any flanking, then she would still be hiding, trying to get into a good position, such as -G/3 or -I/2 where she can get sneak damage next round, hopefully, with Sorrin.

Based on where she was supposed to be, -I/5, she should have been able to make a 5' step and get flanking from Astri before Astri 5' stepped back to cast. This would have been to -J/4 as I posted.

Just an fyi, Astri hasn't had out a melee weapon to threaten with for flanking/sneak attack purposes.

Oops forgot about the reach or I would have had her cast defensively. Oh well.

Round 3

Active Effects:
Haste: +1 AC, +1 ref, +30 speed, one extra attack.

Against shorter enemies, Chell would warn Astrianna to duck for what was about to happen. But her enemy was so much taller that its upper torso made a large target. She holds up her holy symbol which begins to glow brighter and brighter. By the time it saw the glow it was too late. A beam if sunlight blasts it in the face and blisters the exposed skin.

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 = 24
Searing Light: 4d8 ⇒ (7, 8, 3, 8) = 26

Sorrin can try to get into position, just had to get over...

Other pier was a killer move to cut out some difficult terrain and avoid enforcers as Sorrin approached Jalang. Didn't pan out, sorry!

I had a character in over of Baldwin's games, CoT. Same situation, Knife Master Rogue 13. 1d4+7d8 sneak or... 1d4. LOL. I painfully understand.

I need to move on, I just put dinetta in flanking with Astri.

With dinetta's attack the hybrid in front of Astri goes down.

Chell I'll redirect your searing light to another hybrid.

Map

RD 3: Jalang

The raging hybrid at the end of the pier comes forth and uses his reach to attack Sorrin with his greatsword, there is swooshing chill in the air as weapon arcs down.

greatsword, IC: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28;damage: 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (3, 5) + 14 = 22;cold: 1d6 ⇒ 2

I'm not sure sure what your AC is right now, I know you do receive +1 from the haste you were in the range when cast.

Chell casts her searing light at Jalang who rushes towards Sorrin, her ray hits. The attack hits.

Chell and Astri in the future make sure you add a SR roll to your spells.

There is a splash into the water from the far dock as one of the hyrids jumps into the water and begins to swim towards the battle. One other hybrid converges from the pier batting townfolks away as it approaches. A cry for help comes from the water as a townie shoved into the drink.

The hybrid that was facing sorrin shifts 5 feet when he sees his comrade go down from the backside attack, he attacks Dinetta.

WS shark:
claw 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

claw 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15;damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The last wereshark moves and takes a single attack on Dinetta using his reach,

claw 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27;damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
*You don't have haste so does the 27 hit you?

Updated RD 3 Map

*Sorrin you are up.

Remember the dark area on the side of the pier (-H and I: 5) are crates that you need to climb over.

Even with the reduced scale, Blessing of Fervor Should have hit everyone. So depending on their choices, both Dinetta and Sorrin should have +2 to AC from that. I know Dinetta does because its in her attack but I don't know if Sorrin made a choice.

Skin of his teeth. Barkskin +2, Haste +1, Blessing of Fervor +2... AC 29. AC 33 vs. AoO due to movement, +4 Mobility.

Blessing of fevor does not stack with haste.

Sorrin you are up.

AC is 28, then. That guy hits with a 5? Does he get any negatives to hit like power attack or anything?

Sorrin cries out on pain as the greatsword's icy blade bites.

Stepping (towards left, nimble moves) to flank with Dinetta...

He tries to eliminate one behemoth.

dmg, scimitar, courage: 1d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15

fumble, scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Looks like 54 damage and 14 last round? 68 total on this guy. I took the 24 damage, if it's a miss let me know.

Yes, 23.

I actually misapplied his damage bonus it's +19, not +14 while raging in hybrid form and PA. I also did not take the +2 powerful blow damage for a single att.

This is the first attack you made on this barbarian wereshark. You previously hit the other wereshark. This guy did not move up until his turn. You did hit him for 54 this round.

EDIT:

I just noticed that you actually stepped and attacked the original wereshark. That one does have 68 HP of damage and it is still standing but bloodied.

Astrianna finally gets a clear area to stand her ground and shoot her bow. She sees the hybrid wereshark barreling towards them, but she would risk shooting people in the crowd.

"Chell! On your left, stop it!" The bard yells, drawing arrow after arrow to her cheek and decorating the nearest wereshark like an overused target dummy.

Chell wobbles slightly after such a powerful spell and doesn't notice encroaching doom. At Astri's warning she looks left and flinches, both at the size of the creature headed for her and the fate of the people that got in its way. Chell concentrates and raises her hand towards the melee. She focuses on the wereshark and commands "Flee."

SR: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Cast Command. DC 16 Will.

Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor! Drowning Pool fans?

Dinetta's blades deftly find an opening and she removes the beast's heart. Without hesitation the librarian steps closer to the Jalang.

RD 4: Jalang (imposter)

"Jalang wants you dead...by my hand or his. Dajobas shall live!" The creature takes a move action to toy with his prey as he steps back then to the side before utilizing his reach and pressing Sorrin with his frosty greatsword.

Imp crit, PA: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (10) + 23 = 33;damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 4) + 19 = 29;cold: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The wereshark approaching from Chell's left jumps into the water trying to flee the docks.

RD 4: Astri results

Astri notices the hybrid barreling between her position and Dinetta and expertly places four arrows into the foul beast. Her pinpointed accuracy manages to surprise herself.

RD 4: Enforcers

Farther down the docks whale oil erupts and as some of weresharks ignite their deadly trap.

Closer to home:

The wereshark that was in the water climbs out onto the small pier that Sorrin used as his launching pad.

climb: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

The hybrid riddled with Astri's arrow steps closer and attacks Astri,

The wereshark in the water with the blue circle is the one fleeing per Chell's command.

Sorrin you are up.

Dinetta calls out to Sorrin.
Hold on, let me get behind him.

Irrespective of whether Sorrin delays, Dinetta takes off across the wet dock like no librarian you have ever seen before. Maneuvering with great care to avoid the massive blade of the Jalang imposter, but making sure that she ends up behind the hybrid and opposite Sorrin.

Dinetta plans to end in the open square just below Jalang (the "E" is 3 squares above her, opposite side of Jalang.)
--> With Spring Attack, she can make a full move and attack at any point in the move. She will undoubtedly draw an AoO (AC36) with this move.
