With paying for resource books, seems like an addiction...

I use to like building characters from scratch but HL makes it so easy to whip characters/NPCs/Monsters up. I don't know how I DM'd without it.

My luck has run out it seems, didn't even slow Redd down. Going to see what everyone else does before posting to avoid muddling the actions up again. On the subject of hero labs I'll get it one day, when I start GMing... one day...

Seeing a way out Chell disengages from Redd who had moved in for the kill.

Withdraw to E8.

RD 3: smugglers

"G't 'em guud, 'fore they run."

The smuggler in I:9 stabs at Sorrin one more time,

shortsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15;damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

While the two crossbowman understand the raging concern that would be Torgue each fire and then rapidly reloads.

J:7
crossbow, pt blank, precise shot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24;dam, pt pt blank: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

the bolt slices the drunk's mid-thigh.

I:5
crossbow, pt blank, precise shot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14;dam, pt pt blank: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

the smuggler take a 5 ft step up after he fires at torgue keeping the desk between him and the others.

Update RD 3 Map

Frustrated, Sorrin continues to engage the thug before him.

atk, nearest thug, scimitar, inspried: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27
dmg, nearest thug, scimitar, inspried: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10

sorrin strike hard but the smuggler (I:9) is still alive although he has sprung sever leaks between sorrin's blade and torgue's previous bashing.

magical weapon - save is 2+1/2 CL for weapon or the owners save which ever is higher

Owners save is higher. I'm assuming this is fort save rather than a reflex save. You need to clarify this for me in the future.

save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

The weapon does not make it's save so it has taken 12 HP of damage since torgue by-passes the hardness.

hardness 10 + 2=12
HP 5 + 10 = 15

I haven't use the sunder rules much, so I'm not sure if a short sword is one handed blade or a one-handed hafted weapon. I'm using the stats on the one handed blade.

Note: if you are going to be sundering a lot you need to know these rules and post a quick summary for me that will make it easier. Obviously you don't know if they are magical or the CL and I can add that to the stats.

RD 3: Redd

One of Redd's sword bends and weakens so he feints (improved feint) to try to catch the lumbering ox without his dexterity.

Torgue doesn't quite follow the quick movement of the Redd who proceeds to strike with his the blade that has been damaged,

Astrianna feels the weight of her armor get more heavily with every passing second, shaking her head in an attempt to shrug it off.

She sees the open door and moves towards it, stopping as she nearly trips over a sleeping smuggler. The bard looks back and glares at Redd, quickly knocking an arrow and firing it into the back of the smuggler's neck. "Another dead, Redd. If only you'd cooperated, you'd b up to men and a sizable amount of gold."

RD 4 Map

"Another dead, Redd...."

"He was expend'ble besides more cut fer those livin'" His crooked grim, "I'm gonna take pl'sure in skinnin' you once the ox is dead. Split yer party baby...split 'em guud." The sound of a dog scratching at the front door you entered can be heard by Chell, Bri and Astri.

Were you distracted by the "shiny"? Next time, we do this... my way.

Chell hesitates as she draws the power to blast the helpless man on the ground. Quell was about helping people not attacking the helpless. The dog scratching on the door provided a welcome distraction. Its pawing reminded her of those waiting outside. She alters the gethered energy to stop whatever decided to come through.

Move to draw cure light wand. Probably going to need it. Delay action to cast Hold Person on the first thing that comes through the doorway. DC 16 Will.

RD 4: Smugglers

The door swings open from outsides and lunging through is one guard and his dog, Chell instinctively hits the guard with her spell.

Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

hold person would not work on the dog

the guard dog bounds forward and bites at Bri...

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5;damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
plus trip. trip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

...but the dog is too excited to clamp on his target.

The armed man freezes in the doorway but the dog springs forward.

Meanwhile back in the inner office...

I:9

Hoping to finally hit his enemy the injured man in front of Sorrin thrusts out his short sword,

att: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13;damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

the feeble attack misses.

I:6
The man in the doorway shoots at Sorrin,

crossbow, pt blank, precise shot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26;dam, pt pt blank: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Suddenly there is whizzing sound followed by a loud thunk of a bolt sinking into sorrin's body.

J:7

Takes aim at the drunken ox who is now flanked,

crossbow, pt blank, precise shot, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21;dam, pt pt blank: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Sorrin stares down at the shaft that sticks out of him and doubles his effort against his immediate foe as he nods acknowledgement to the crossbowman.

atk, nearest thug, scimitar, inspried: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13
dmg, nearest thug, scimitar, inspried: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13

I think you can only get "flanking" when making a melee attack. You can sneak attack with range (if opponent is loses Dex). Unless you found something that does allow it... in which case, I need to know for my own rogue-y goodness.

Also, Sorrin should have soft cover (+4 AC) with respect to the guy in the doorway... 26 hits anyway. His buddy is just in his way.

Grrr...I had misread the flanking with rogue/range weapon sneak attack. so basically, unless the rogue gets the jump at the start of the round, or somehow is hidden, or the opponent is blinded, or is invisible it is extremely difficult to have get sneak attack with a ranged weapon.

Yessir, that's why I was annoyed when Gerard lost the Init.

Yessir, that's why I was annoyed when Gerard lost the Init.

Unfortunately for the archers they do not have improved feint which would work, especially, with their rapid reload feat. Redd on the other hand does have that feat which for a rogue is must IMHO.

Int 13 and Combat Expertise as pre-reqs... Tough to commit.

What does the blue circle around the two in my room mean?

You put those two to sleep, Astir subsequently killed one.

Is the door to this room open to the outside? Wandering if we should be worried about reinforcements.

Int 13 and Combat Expertise as pre-reqs... Tough to commit.

13 int isn't hard for rogue since they are skill monkeys, but the combat expertise hurts. Ihe best way I've found is to make the person human to get the bonus feat.

Is the door to this room open to the outside? Wandering if we should be worried about reinforcements.

The doors at E/F 13 are open that is where the dog came in and the person in the door way at E:14 is a held person.

The door at H:12 is open and adjoins two rooms.

Don't see anything else in my room right now, so will ready to sleep hex the next thing that tries to enter from the outside door.

Bri - You are being attacked by a dog right now.

FYI - I've already did use your slumber hex twice.

Togue your turn.

I suddenly noticed that I can't be flanked due to being a 5th level Barbarian and Having Improved Uncanny Dodge but forgot to write that down on my sheet. I'll suck up the damage and be sure to write that down on my sheet.

Redd and the crossbow man didn't flank you anyway that was the discussion sorrin and I had. You only took 4 HP of damage from the bolt.

Torgue's first attack missed the leader but you second whack clubbed him hard. There is loud crack and grunt, "I'll run ye scurvy arse through." He spits then fakes high befor going low,

I'm not asking for much... a 7?

Oh, totally didn't see the dog marker on that last map I was looking at.

Bri is getting a bit annoyed now and just wants to set some things on fire. She casts Burning Gaze and looks down at the annoying dog. "I'm more of a reptile person anyway."

Burning Gaze dc save 16. Fort save or catch on fire, reflex save to put out fire.

Round 4

Fortitude save Large Scorpion Poison 3/6: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Str at 11

Astrianna feels weaker than before, but the strength no longer drains from her limbs. However, she noticed a distinct difficulty in firing her compound bow, and with a pained expression drops it to the ground. She reaches into her Haversack, pulling out one of the longbows they pinched at the Crooked Pier.

Taking a step back through the door, she momentarily glances behind her as a dog bursts through the entrance, but decides Embri and Chell can handle it. Knocking a magical arrow in the new, but certainly not as good bow, she calls Redd out before loosing it at the smuggler.

"I'm an independent businesswoman, Redd! Here's a f!++ing donation!"

it's fur sizzles but doesn't catch on fire.
