Beyond Fort Horizon (Inactive)

Game Master Terquem

Derrick would have gotten an Attack of Opportunity against one of the creatures that rushed him, also using it to trip.

Trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Derrick whips his naginata back and forth, sweeping the legs from under two of the creatures as they approach. A third closes with him, however, and he tosses the weapon away, draws his katana, and attacks it with a powerful slash before stepping toward the fallen foes.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

If either prone enemy moves to stand, I get an Attack of Opportunity.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Okay I'll adjust the map, move one back, but now that you've dropped the naginata, you no longer have reach, correct?

Yes, I've dropped the naginata and no longer have reach--that's why I stepped up to be adjacent to the enemies I tripped.

Portia watches as another arrow comes near her. This it is closer than the last but she easily avoids the projectile. A shadow eagle springs into existence out of thin air and she does a quick whistle to let Issabelle know it is not an enemy.

HA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Unfortunately, between the chaos if the arrows and the overall sounds if battle Issabelle doesn't hear Portia's commands and swoops in on the new airborne enemy. A flying enemy is right up Issabelle's comfort zone.

Issabelle swoops in for the attack, claws poised to scratch and rage the new perceived enemy.

bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d4 ⇒ 3

Thikka steps five feet to Valind and her paw reaches out to tap the halfling on the back of the head, making his head start forward.

Healing Hex: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"You should see if you can get your god to smite all the heathen..." She says in mild amusement.

Rolandor moves to d, -5 and casts burning hands.
dmg: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

dc is 15 for half

Sithundan will drop his crossbow and charge to -C5 and attack the orange "No-ll" with his unarmed strike.
Attack roll: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8

I no longer exist? but wait,*crunch* I have bacon. Bacon is the realest thing in the universe*munch* so long as I have my bacon I am assuredly real! *chomp* wait, where it go... Bacon? NOOOO its gone my bacon!
Ritmush curses softly, grumbling under his breath as he reloads and sights another target.
Target is No-bold at -G,-2
Fiyah 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Droka continues singing. He points at the "No-ll" the eagle attacked last turn in order to get the eagle to attack it. The eagle pecks and claws at the creature's face. Meanwhile, Droka sidesteps so that he can send a glob of acid at one of the "No-lls."

Since I didn't need to make a Handle Animal check, I still have a standard action. I want to take a 5 ft. step to (E,0) so that I'm in range to acid splash the "No-ll" at (A, -4).
ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

a conjured animal(creature) always obeys the caster, natural animals, such as Isabelle, are loyal to their companions, but still very much wild animals and sometimes need effort to control

Sweet. I'm going to edit my post, then.

Unbolath moves 5' to F4. Taking aim with his bow he launches an arrow at "gnoll" -C,-1.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15

Possible Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4

Rolls include +2 bonus vs humans

could you try to change the damage roll to d8, please, or is there something I am missing? Also, you list the weapon as a +3 composite longbow, so that would mean adding another +3 to the damage, correct?

pretty sure ubolath cast gravity bow last round, it increases the damage dice of the longbow by 1 step putting it at 2d6.

Yea, I was just going back over that, so 2d6+5, correct?

Yep.

The +3 is merely my total bonus to hit with my bow. ( +2 dex and +1 BAB ). The bow is nonmagical. And yes the 2d6 is from gravity bow as others have noted. I get additional +2 hit/dam against humans, and as discussed earlier I appear to have seen through the disguises.

Hopefully it all makes sense :)

So what is the "Composite" rating of the bow?

Day 5, Gulley Ambush

Round 3…

Rolandor advances a few small steps, extends his hands and washes the three creatures in front of him in flames

Reflex Save, MGN_LBlu: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Reflex Save, MKB_red: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Reflex Save, MGN_LGRN: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Derrick draws his katana, but his swing is high and the creature in front of him ducks down, avoiding the blow

Issabelle veers away from the target Portia indicated and attacks the shadow eagle. Issabelle’s bite is hard and squarely in the shadow creatures back, but it flies onward, toward a creature that is staggering from an arrow wound, and rakes the creature across the neck. The strange creature spits blood in the air as its hands fly to its neck and staggering it falls to the ground.

Unbolath takes careful aim and fires an arrow at another creature. The arrow strikes deep in the enemies side, and the impact from the enhanced arrow’s weight knocks the creature down dead just as Sithundan approaches and attacks only the air where it had been standing.

Thikka moves up to offer a healing touch to Valind, but the small cleric darts forward in a dash at the last minute before she can lay a hand on him.

When Valind has moved to a safe position, he channels the power of his faith in a powerful burst of raw negative energy.
Does Derrick need to make a Will Save? What is the Save DC, and Damage if Valind still intends to Channel Negative Energy. Some of the creatures listed for Will Saves may have succeeded

Will Save, MKB_Org: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Will Save, MKB_Grn: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19
Will Save, MGN_DBlu: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16
Will Save, MKB_Prp: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14
Will Save, SKB_Red: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
Will Save, SGN_Red: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

The stranger who had been driving the cart, runs up to a creature and with a round house left hook, clobbers the beast in the head, knocking it to the ground. He holds the knife for a moment and then flips it over in his hand so that he is holding the point of the blade, and lifts the knife preparing to throw it.

Suddenly another one of the creatures pitches forward into the dirt, struck from behind in some way

Victor feels a wash of life draining energy pass through him

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

What the heck was that! Look out these things may be using energy blasters concealed somewhere!

I'll be making some changes to Victor's character sheet, he was created for a game that ended, and now will be reporposed, thanks!

So what is the "Composite" rating of the bow?

Its just a normal composite bow, I was unable to afford a strength bonus to the bow, therefore I cannot apply any of my strength to damage. I have taken the bowyer skill, so perhaps someday I can work on this.

Cow #1 – takes 3 damage - Thikka changed her move to healing the cow since Valid ran off. So the cow has no wounds

From the Cow, Thikka moves to A2 and gives the Evil Eye at the closest enemy.

Will Save DC 16 or be at -2 AC for 8 rounds. If will succeeds, still at -2 AC for 1 round.

I was just looking at the map and I'm very confused as to who is alive and who is dead. Is the "No-ll" I am standing adjacent to living or dead? Looking at the map it looks like he's alive, but according to your damage description he's dead.

Map is updated Sorry Sithundan, I got behind! See I use one computer to do postings during the day, and a different computer to access the maps at night

I will post the monster's action tomorrow

Now that I know who is alive and who is dead, Thikka gives the gnoll in -E2 the Evil Eye treatment earlier. The one dead north from her current position.

Day 5, Gulley Ambush

Round 3…Monster Attacks!

Six arrows are fired this round
Ranged attack versus Thikka: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Ranged attack versus Portia: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Ranged attack versus Wiani +4 AC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Ranged attack versus Rolandor: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Ranged attack versus Droka: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Ranged attack versus Unbolath: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Damage versus Thikka: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Threat of a crit, Portia: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Damage versus Portia: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Portia and Thikka are hit with arrows.

As arrows fly through the air, some of the creatures are finally close enough to move into fighting positions.

Melee Attack, SKB_Org, versus Derrick: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Melee Attack, MKB_Blu, versus Victor: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

While the rest of the creatures continue to move forward

Will Save, MGN_DBlu: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11

Unbolath reloads his bow and launches an arrow at a "gnoll" (-G,-7). If that gnoll is dead or down by the time Unbolath goes, he choses another not in melee.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 2 = 11

Unbolath's eyes, entirely black, reveal no emotion, as he scans and chooses targets. In an almost predatory fashion, he selects his quarry, and calmly fires arrow after arrow.

MGN_Dblu is at -2 AC for 8 rounds

Thikka mutters under her breath about idiot fighters pulling healers into the front lines, and hexes herself.

Heal: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Round 4 I think
Ritmush reloads his crossbow, watching the carnage as the caravan warriors reach melee with the No-bolds and the No-lls.
They sure are good at murderin' things, stupid No-bolds are dyin really quick. thas' nice an all but if they are all dead i can't inter... Intergrate? err... I can't Inquisition em! Ritmush finishes his thought as he sights another No-bold Mah, this would be so much easier if.. "There were more of me." Ritmush finishes in a whisper looking to the brush on the hill. A Cheshire grin on his face as he chants a few words.

"Stupid mouth breathing noscales who are unable to even do a raid right." A voice resounds over the cliff, sounding like a gruff hafling with a lisp. Or perhaps a Koblod but no such creature is readily apparent on the cliff.
"I am Raid leader Loroh Lor, while you have been failing at raiding the caravan full of assorted tall folk and a tasty halfling and an excessively hairy one we have set up on the cliff above you."
The voice barks an order in draconic and all along the cliff from other well defended or difficult to see spots more voices join chattering curses in the same language. There are at least a dozen, likely many more, separate voices in the cacophony
"The rest of my warband is unable to speak this fumbling tongue but I will sum up for them.
Those of you who have dared to wear the scales of my race and those of you who raid with them can give up now. Tell me who you obtained the skins of my people from and I will let you leave.
What my raiders want to do is varied but the least painful is burying you to the neck next to a hill of meat eating ants."
The voice pauses once more as the raiders clamor again spitting curses. "Warriors guarding the caravan, I have no interest in shooting you today. I only wish the No-bolds and No-lls".

Bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Round 3

As Portia, fires another sling bullet, she overextends and leaves an opening for the raiders. One raiders time his shot and hits Portia square in the thigh, causing her to reel back in pain, knowing if the shot was a little more to the inside it would have hit her femoral artery. That results would have been far more disastrous then the puncture to her thigh.

She tires of firing and missing, instead she tries to corral Issabelle once more.

handle animal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Getting her under control, she takes a deep breathe and moves forward to engage the enemy head on.

Move me to -A, -1 please

She drops her sling, moves forward and draws her longsword as she moves up to stand next the the caravan driver. She takes a slash at the enemy before her.

targeting blue enemy in -B, -2

longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

ROUND 5

will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
sense: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 13

"Hah, stupid idiot. When you're casting spells, wearing a mask interferes with your words, which makes the spell harder to cast! Next time learn some actual magic, you moron." She shouts at the idiot. "This idiot is casting spells, illusion probably. All those stupid voices on the hill from people we can't see are a spell." She says, even though she's only 90% sure of it, but if she quavers and it is, people might not believe her.

Bluff to cover up the 10% she isn't sure about: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Thikka moves to A-2, and holds out one paw. "Burn you stupid fakir's. Your loud mouth coward on the hill just got you roasted!" And she releases a burning hands into the creatures in front of her. I think she can get two of them

Burning Hands: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 Reflex DC 16, for half

"The voice is off and it quavers in the wrong spots, like a spell someone didn't cast right because he was wearing a mask. Idiot. Better to use a hood, doesn't interfere with your mouth."

there might be some confusion here. Portia, using sense motive, believes that the "voice" is telling the truth, and that whatever the voice is, it only intends to stop the raid, and means no harm to the caravan. She does not suspect it is a spell causing the voice (failed will save). On the other hand, Thikka sees the spell for what it is, but does not believed the message is honest.

Oh, I am sorry for misinterpreting the spoiler text. :) I had to re-read his post a couple times to fully understand it :)

Well, I don't cast spells Thikka, I prefer to live in nature and in harmony with it. I think we should just leave and let them deal with their higher-ups. There are nearly a couple dozen, if they wished to overrun us they could do so out of shear numbers.

THANK YOU FOR LETTING US LEAVE

My post above was Round 3, sorry. I forgot to include that... However, I'm gonna wait to post in response to what's happening now until tomorrow, because I'm tired and will need to think on things.

yanno I was expecting the whole counter ambush ploy to fail but not so quickly. Did I write something that implied the kobold has designs on killing you? Because I tried to be fairly careful to word that agression toward the No-bolds. Eh, guess i will have to see if i can just ignore thikkas point and force them to give up before they realize she is actually correct.

There is a beat as the hill is quiet, followed by a semi audible sigh. Unless you are secretly wearing the skin of my kin I dont have any interest in fighting you today. You are entirely free to leave. I have no interest in your caravan, nor am I secretly helping your enemies. As I can only imagine you have a brain and realize the intelligence of a raiding party who blindly charges over a hill screaming and hollering with when they could have easily stayed on the cliff like my warband currently is and shot whatever happens to be in the canyon down there with no issue. with another bark the chattering kobolds go still.
So, humanoids who have chosen to raid wearing the bodies of my race as crude costumes. If you wish to believe the hairy halfling I can prove her wrong and kill more of you then they already have inflicted on your numbers or you can give up now and live.Drop your weapons and stop fighting. Your choice.

The problem is, GM. Thikka doesn't know the 'no bolds' are 'no bolds'. So all she had was a guy in the distance, who looked kobold, yelling down. She thinks he's part of the people attacking. That's why she said what she said. Honestly, if she hadn't seen through the spell, she would take him at his word. But having seen through the spell, she now thinks it's a trap to get the convoy to lower their guard. On the other hand, he has no reason to attack the convoy, as we're busy killing off the no-bolds. :) Note that Thikka was speaking to her own allies, not the no-bolds. Basically there's a 3-way confusion going on. At least part of that is because I thought this new kobold was with the other kobolds. Or nobolds, or wahtever htey are. I honestly didn't understand what was going on, so neither does Thikka. :)

"I ain't no halfling, you scaly ass. When I get finished killing these stupid idiots you sent down here to attack us, I'm gonna find you and whop you upside the head with me stick!"

As long as raiders continue to attack the caravan, Unbolath will unleash arrows at them, as that is his responsibility, keeping the caravan safe.

"I am guessing the humans and halflings posing as kobolds and gnolls are trying to stir up trouble and get blame pinned on the humanoids for the raid. A lot of danger and trouble to go through for that end however."

-Round 4-
Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Intuition: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Derrick pauses and looks to the hillside for a moment, hearing the words and the roar of a crowd. Too many... but the life of a samurai is freely given when needed. Better to die in battle than run and hide in life. With that he slashes again at the enemy near him (the no-bold Orange at -E,0)

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

I am unsure what round we are on. Are we still resolving round 3? It seems some of us have declared Round 4 or Round 5 actions

It is round 4.

Sithundan will 5' step to the west and attack the blue "No-bold" with his flurry of blows.
Attack rolls: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage roll: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Having felled its previous opponent, the shadowy eagle unleashes its full fury on the nearest opponent. Droka keeps singing. Stepping up, he points his finger at one of the No-lls and lets fly with a glob of acid.
Free action: maintain inspire courage. Acid Splash as a standard action.
ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Eagle's bite, to-hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Eagle's bite, damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Eagle's left talon, to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16Eagle's left talon, damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Eagle's right talon, to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9Eagle's right talon, damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Day 5, Gulley Ambush

Round 4…

Portia advances and suddenly there is a shout, in a broken speech pattern, from back among the rocks on the cliff face. The strange creature in front of Portia turns its head, and that is all Portia needs to bury her sword to the hilt in the monster’s chest.

Panic begins to spread among the strange attackers, as many of their number are dead or dying and a new enemy, it seems, has shown its hand from behind the attacking monster’s position.

Thikka shouts as she takes a few steps forward, and swaths an area in flames. She catches two of the attacking monsters in the fire. The creatures drop their weapons and leap to the ground rolling around in pain and agony.

Everywhere the strange monsters drop their weapons and flee away from the caravan toward the west.

Derrick catches one of the creatures as it turns in place, and easily cuts the small monster down.

With panic setting in among the Attackers, Situndan extends a stony arm and lands a killing blow to the side of another monster’s head.

Drokka lobs a missile of acid at one of the monsters as it also turns to flee. The creature falls to the sand and throws its hands up to its face, while the shadow eagle attacks and kills a small creature making a run for the western end of the canyon

The Following Monsters are upright, and fleeing, and will be 60 or 40 feet from their current positions, I will update the map tonight. Some of the monsters on the ground are alive.

I have my round 4 action posted above, I believe. I should be able to drop one of the fleeing given my rolls I suspect.

Yes that will drop one of the fleeing enemies, sorry I missed that
