It looks pretty straight forward. The gate is a natural bottleneck and if we standoff to the side, it would make it fairly hard to shoot us. But I think Criek could be the biggest damage dealer in this fight, if we can get them to bunch up at the gate.

Too spread out for any ghost sound shenanigans from Anody. He can Grease the entrance to try and create a bottleneck to hit orcs with though.

Sho's plan seems sound -- Sho and Ayla at either side of gate to engage/AoO, Anody grease on entrance to show 'em down, and me to bomb?

Are the three goblins outside the gate bunched up enough that I could get them all with one bomb, so others can get in position without worrying about them?

Yes they are. creik. Bombs away!

I see no dissent?

Criek nods, then realizes he's still invisible -- "Okay, sounds like a plan? Give me a few counts to get in position, so I can take out those goblins before they catch wind of anybody else? I'll hit them as I see you start moving? Here goes..."

stealth, full movement rate, invis: 1d20 + 10 - 5 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 5 + 20 = 34

ranged touch, point-blank: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17
fire damage: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5, 6) + 4 = 18, splash: 7, Reflex DC 16 for half

Sho will move to the side of the gate, and prepare to receive his guests.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Anody moves 20 feet closer. Following Sho.

anody: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
creik: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Mel's action is to delay, waiting for creik's attack.

Sharee, creik and sho are up.

Alert to how quickly things are likely to change once Criek lights the touch paper, Sharae clutches her holy symbol within her hand... and her second Starknife in the other...

Sharae delays until after the goblins act.

criek hurls a bomb in a delicate arc towards his target. The goblin at the last second, seems to sense something, looks up and takes the bomb in the face. He is instantly turned into a pillar of flame, not even having time to scream. The other two however...

reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

They get plenty of time to scream. One collapses in a heap after a couple of seconds, still twitching, but the other dances around.

Mel looses her crossbow

hv crossbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

crit confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

extra damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

And the crossbow bolt slams between the goblins eye, the point emerging from the back of his heat, silencing his agony.

Sharee and SHo to go

Ayla moves to the gate quickly to back up Sho.

So much for delaying until after the goblins!!!

Looking out for trouble, which must inevitably come, Sharae moves towards the gatehouse...

Sharae, Move and Total Defense

Sho has moved to the side of the gate and is waiting for the rush that is sure to come.

Anody's probably fallen behind everybody :)

OK, I don't want to sound cranky but could you all move your counters please. If you cannot (working from a phone) Then let me know. Also, make sure your counters are placed near a corner. This is to allow accuracy in movement and range. For example Ayla said she is moving, but her counter has not, so i have moved it for her. I would like you all to move your own counters. Also Sho, I am not certain as to your exact position. Your counter is off center.

The party hears sounds of surprise in the fort. A loud voice yells
[spoiler=orcish]go and see what is happening[/b]

anody to act

Sorry on phone. For the surprise round can you move Anody three spaces diagonal north east?

Anody casts Grease on the 10 foot square just east of Sho and then moves to stand close to Criek.

Please move Anody to stand just southwest of Criek

Sho will be at that location. I am not sure which side of the square he would need to be in to be completely concealed behind the gate.

Thanks anody

Sho stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

orc perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

orc acrobatics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12

The first orc storms past sho, and surprised at the slippery terrain doesn't see him (aoo for sho, and is flat footed)

orc 2 acrobatics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11
orc 2 perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

orc 2 also triggers a2 aoo, if sho can unlease it. However he sees sho and strikes.

falchion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11

remaining party actions

AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 221d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

you cut the first orc

orc 1 15/21
orc 2 21/21

Anody takes 10 on Kn:Nature to identify the orcs (for 20) and starts a Naturalist Performance.

Just as we expected, orcs are nasty and vicious, quite beyond any form of diplomacy, they are quite a handful for regular troops but I am certain that Ayla, Sho, and Criek will be able to....

Naturalist (Ex): An archivist who has identified a creature with a Knowledge check appropriate to its type can use performance to share strategies for defeating it with allies in combat. The archivist and any allies within 30 feet gain a +2 insight bonus to AC and on attack rolls and saving throws against exceptional*, supernatural, and spell-like abilities

Anody, I moved your token as directed above.

chill, can you clarify, are we at the bottom of teh initiative and wrapping around to the top at this point? All the baddies have taken their Round 1?

all baddies have acted. Also I have alresdy moved anody as far as he could go (he cast a spell, grease) so he has double acted. I'll say that is his round 2 action.

Yeah Surprise Round was Move, First Round was move and Grease, Second Round was Start Performance

Ah, i see. Well this is the end of round one, so you are in position.

Ayla assists Sho attacking some orc near him

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Sho will attack the orc next to him twice.

Main Hand Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 = 17
Main Hand Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Off Hand Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 = 14
Off Hand Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Oh the agony. A 5 and a 2.

Between ayla's and shos attacks, the irc falls, dying.

Raising her starknife high, Sharae seems to catch the light of the sun for a moment... when her friends see it, they feel somewhat bolstered and reassured...

Sharae, Bless - all allies gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects - duration 5 minutes.

So currently only one orc outside the gates after sho/ayla took the other down? Criek will hold action until after the orcs move to let them bunch up again, then bomb --

ranged touch, point blank, bard boosted: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 30
cold damage, point blank: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6, 4) + 4 + 1 = 16 target staggered for 1 turn (DC 16 Fort negates); splash damage 7 (DC 16 Reflex negates)

oooo, possible crit confirm: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 25
extra damage on crit: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

One of the orcs is cut down by Sho and Ayla while another is slashed by sho as he passes, but still stands. More orcs near the gate. Creik readies a bomb

The goblins are doing something out of sight (for now)
Sho to act, then anody's performance starts.

hope everyone had a good easter

Those attacks were my action for this round.

As the orcs boil out of the gate criek drops a bomb on the leader, covering him in frost. He screams as his breath freezes, them colapses to the ground.

Acrobatics orc three: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Acrobatics orc four: 1d20 ⇒ 4

The next two orcs are surprised by the grease spell, and stop, one falling (the one on the right). Two goblins appear on the small gate tower

Ayla is vicously attack by the orc outside

falchion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10

But she avoids the blow easily

Another BOOM echoes from the fort.

Ayla to act, then round three. Mel and Sharee start the round. Note that criek has changed initiative due to his readed action

Going to go ahead and post my 'start of round 3' action now GM.

"What was that? Some kind of explosion? We need to get in there as quickly as possible", Sharae moves next to Sho and, with a smile, touches him upon the shoulder...

Sharae, Bit of Luck on Sho: Next round, whennhe rolls a d20, he may roll twice and take the better of the two results.

All - don't forget you have Bless active for the next few minutes.

GM - posting from iPad, could you move me next to Sho please?

done

Ayla moves a bit up with a 5-foot step and readies against an attack, with a melee attack against any charging foe.

Hoping Mel can take on that orc behind our lines -- Anody, do you have anything that can hit the goblins in the tower?

Sho will 5ft step fowards to attack the orc on the left at the gates.

Main Hand, Uses Best Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 221d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 = 18
Main Hand Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Off Hand, Uses Best Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 = 211d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25
Off Hand Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Nothing long range sadly

Mel charges the orc near ayla, drawing her kukri, slicing into him.

kukri: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 18

damage: 1d6 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

dropping him with a spray of blood.

Sho likewise kills his, as it staggers in the grease spell.

anody, do you have daze as a spell? handy for a bard. Just thinking out loud.

The goblins hurl alchemist fire on sho and ayla

alchemist fire, Sho: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17 touch

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 fire

alchemist fire, Ayla: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18 touch

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 fire

as the fires burn they sing

Goblins burn you up real nice, ready to serve you in a trice
crispy skin and juices run out, smell so good makes goblins shout
Soon be cooked, soon be done, we be goblins, you be yum!
followed by hysterical laughter by the happy little maniacs

anody and creik to act

Daze has a range of 35 feet for me. Think I would need to move in a bit for that.

Anody moves up to stand next to Sharae and tries to hit the nearest Goblin with a Daze spell.

DC 13 Will save or Dazed
