I'm OK with taking ten on a stealth roll, but this is a slow patient stealth, 5 feet a round (unless there is a feat or some other complication of that sort. In the interest of moving along I'll let Ayla's take ten stand, but not in future. BTW you would have being better taking the chance with the roll IMO

I have revealed a bit of the map on opening the door at the top of the stairs (I am assuming that is the way you are going, if not I'll say you had a quick look.) Party order is Valia, Anody Creik, Sharae and Ayla. If you disagree, or would like to change, let me know. I'll wait an hour or two for replies

Good with that order

That should be good as I'll be guarding the back.

Criek follows Valia and Anody up the stairs and braces fro combat as Valia opens the door to reveal...an empty hallway?

looks like there's a doorway or side hallway about 10 feet ahaed of us on the east side?

After waiting a few moments to make sure they haven't been detected, Criek taps Valia on the arm and motions to be let past so that he can skulk forward to peer around the corner. If they've really got Val here, we need to know -- don't want to risk her in the confusion if we continue blindly?

stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

The party moves out and sees...

The revealed map. There are four rope fists, two on the catwalks, two on the ground. Garmen and the other man are on the ground, and you can see val tied up in the corner, gagged. There is a strange silver/grey metal box with indicator lights, and a dish on the top set up beside Garmensatellite dish guys. Also Garmen is the non ropefist avatar closest to you.

anody: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
creik: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
valia: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
sharee: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
ayla: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

ropefists: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Garmen: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

other: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Surprise round
The party can act. The bad guys are shocked to suddenly see you emerge from nowhere, so no action for them.

Garmen sees you, his eyes widening What the...

to be clear, the tan area on the map, where we are, is catwalk, and the grey floor area with the crates and such is below us? is there a staircase to the catwalks in this room, or just the one we came up by?

Criek quickly takes in the scene, spotting Val and letting out an "Ah!" of relief, and then,

know(local): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 recognizing the other, Sanvill works for the League? But it was Garmen's idea to grab Val! Snake!

His nerves twanging from the stimulant on top of his worry for Val, he pulls a bomb and hurls it at Garmen --

ranged touch, one range increment, blessed & stim'ed & point-blank: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 18

frost damage, point-blank: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6) + 4 + 1 = 15 + staggered for 1 round (DC16 Fort negates staggered)

There is a ladder, but you can acsend/descend on the crates. Does require acrobatics dc 10 to do it safely. Oh and yes, the tan area is the cat walk.

acrobatics 10: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 Valia attempts to valiantly vault down and engage the men downstairs.

d'oh, spent all that time strategizing and then this happens.

oh dear

Valia attempts to get to the ground of the warehouse, but stumbles, and falls

fall damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

He is now prone, and probably embarrassed.

with that roll, I think valia probably bounced off the floor, through a boarded up window, and is now back outside the building...

:D
cue Wilhelm scream

with that roll, I think valia probably bounced off the floor, through a boarded up window, and is now back outside the building...

10/10 would watch this fantasy movie. Perhaps Valia needs to wear a trench coat, play the violin, and speak in a terrible french accent from here on out.

Seeing Valia ready to jump from the walkway, Sharae seeks Desna’s blessing for her friend’s blade…

Sharae, Aid on Valia: +1 morale bonus on Attack Rolls / Saves vs Fear Effects for 4 minutes plus 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Temporary Hit Points

Oh dear, this hasn't started well Anody mutters. Waving his hands at Garmen Anody casts GlitterDust at Garmen.

Garmen and those 10 feet from Garmen must pass DC 15 Will save or be blinded. I think should only hit Garmen and the guy he was talking to.

Jumps down with Nodachi in hand
acro: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Not sure If I have an action left or not?

No, one action in a surprise round. You're done

Garman will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

other will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Garman swears loudly as he glitters, like his companion. I can't see. Bok, help me! Kill them!

He pulls out his rapier, and moves a bit.
Garmen
Creik
Sharee
Valia are up
The other
Ayla
Anody
Ropefists

I should mention, this area is one big room. The central catwalk merely goes over it, and does not block movement.

With Valia and Ayla both jumping into the fray, Sharae moves cautiously towards Garmen’s thugs upon the walkway…

Sharae, Total Defense (for an overall AC of 22) and Move

Criek advances warily along the catwalk, trying to size up the combatants on the floor below while keeping his distance from the thug on the catwalk. Seeing Garmen blinded for the moment -- I don't know Sarvill to be any great fighter...but if he's the League's agent here, he must be dangerous? I can catch him flat-footed and keep him away from Val!

...And from Valia. noting his comrade's graceful descent.

frost bomb: ranged touch, stim + bless + point-blank: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 18
frost bomb damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5) + 4 = 11 and staggered for 1 round (DC16 Fort negates staggered)

Duration of blind is 4 rounds by the way

creik, who is your target? I'm guessing it is Sarvill?

sanvil fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

The target of creik's bomb staggers as a blast of cold envelops him, as he also glitters from anody's prior cast. His hands quickly move as he casts a response.

no. of images: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

he seems to suddenly gain two doubles.

Ayla and anody are up

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Some sort of magic Andoy mutters to himself as he moves towards Criek and then spots Garmen moving I believe the ring leader is trying to escape! Anody casts Grease on a ten foot square encompassing both Garmen and the ropefist next to him.

Grease Reflex save DC 14 or fall down

Sarvill was second bomb target, yes! Did you get Garmen from surprise round bomb? i don't see a save vs. staggered on him.

creik, they were 10 feet apart, and your bomb only goes out 5 feet. Sanvil is staggered.On the bright side, Garman is blinded.

Valia gets up. The ropefist beside is so surprised an Elf fell out of nowhere, he does nothing to stop it.

Still flat foooted. BTW Valia, you have not yet leveled.

elven curved blade: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Chop! Valia is now standing.

Overcoming their initial surprise the ropefists spring into action

One on Valia
swift action, gain power attack
flurry 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
flurry 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

damage 1: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
damage 2: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Valia takes 4 points.

One of the ropefists stomps over to Ayla and strikes

swift action, power attack
unarmed cbt: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

missing badly.

One of them on the catwalk moves up to criek double move

The other attempts to move to ground level
acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Showing Valia how it is done. He ends up next to Garman.

Anody and Ayla sorry about the mixup, you act now.

map is updated

Ayla retaliates back with the Nodachi.
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

creik, they were 10 feet apart, and your bomb only goes out 5 feet. Sanvil is staggered.On the bright side, Garman is blinded.

For sure. There were two bombs, one in the surprise round, here targeting Garmen for 18 to hit touch, 15 damage. In first full round, I threw another bomb and hit Sanvil, 11 damage. Neither bomb had anybody close enough for splash damage. Since the staggered only lasts one round, Garmen would recover by now, but I want to make sure the damage gets noted! :)

Anody stays where he is and targets the ropefist next to Criek with the grease.

creik, damage on garman noted. Everyone, all doors and windows are boarded up, req dc 15 str check and full round action to clear.

except the front door of course

Moving in behind Criek, Sharae whispers to him, ”Fall back, I’ll hold this ruffian off whilst you support our friends below”

Sharae, Move followed by Total Defense

Suggesting Criek takes a withdraw action so as not to provoke and then Sharae can hold up the Ropefist

next round
Garmon says Bok open the door. I need a moment
That's his action

Garmen acted
Creik
Sharee acted
Valia
The other
Ayla
Anody
Ropefists

2nd full round
sharae, I assume you moved to space right behind (west of) me? map not updated.

Criek's eyes go wide as the ropefist runs at him, shaking the catwalk, until he feels Sharae's presence at his back. At her words, he dives backwards past her, tumbling out of the brute's reach.

acrobatics->leave threatened square: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 have to beat his CMD; think that should do it!

Glancing to the floor, he spots the ropefist and Garmen trying to open the boarded door, and takes aim at that ropefist with another bomb.

frost bomb - ranged touch, one range inc., stim/bless/pointblank: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 23
frost damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 5) + 4 = 15 and 5 splash damage to Garmen; Ropefist DC16 Fort save or staggered 1 round

ropefist fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

garman reflex save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

criek, I think you are cheating yourself on splash damage. alchemist bomb splash damage is the minimum bomb result (reflex for half). For you that is 7 damage (2 (from dice damage) + 4 (Int bonus) and 1 (point blank feat).

wait, I still need to add another level or I levelled one too many? Last time I looked at that, I compared my level to a party member. Looked kosher at first pass, but it's possible I stopped halfway.
You can send me a PM if that's easier.
Marking down 4hp now.

Valia counter attacks his assailant, swinging wide at his opponent.
atk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Anody cast Grease at the ropefist on the top as his second round action. Hope that didn't get missed

[ooc]wait, I still need to add another level or I levelled one too many? Last time I looked at that, I compared my level to a party member. Looked kosher at first pass, but it's possible I stopped halfway.

You should be level 4. Looking at your character it is level three.

On it

Oh dear, I am running low on spells. Anody mutters as he casts Daze on the ropefist on the same level as himself, Criek, and Sharae.

STR roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

In a furious combat, the party avoids damage.

Bok, the Ropefist near the door, rips the boards apart in a tremendous exercise of strength, opening the door.

Argh! Opened it boss.
