The Black Merlin |
The Black Merlin raises his pistol again and draws a bead on the bipedal wolf standing apart from the melee. Blue border. Seeing the surging bodies between his target and himself, the avian-themed avenger not capital 'A' Avenger exhales through his nose and squeezes off a shot.
Pistol+Point Blank: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 vs touch
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
'They know we're here now!' He shouts as he reloads.
Machaera Selanna |
Seeing Headsman take a hit, Machaera merely nods in acknowledgement at the Black Merlin’s shout over his pistol’s report, her own hand already moving to her spell component pouch and her lips running over the incantation she’ll need to recite.
Spell failure, hoping to roll high (beat 20%): 1d100 ⇒ 88 Phew! Casting snapdragon fireworks at the bipedal wolf who just hit Headsman, if the critter's still standing, or else the one in back.
Despite the hindrance of her armour, she easily extracts, juggles, and launches a twist of paper with a clear-voiced word that sets the bundle on fire, revealing a tiny dragon-shaped flame that dodges between the doctor and Headsman to detonate in the face of the wolf-creature standing beyond. Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3 And a DC 16 Reflex save for half and to avoid being dazzled for one round.
“Leave him alone,” she warns grimly, clenching her now empty hand midair into a fist, hoping she sounds more confident than she feels.
Io Dorean |
Io steadies herself
"You want to dance, puppy? Because I can Dance!" Io grunts with the last word, steeling herself as she positions her knuckles to tear through flesh. This was a move she had learned long ago, watching devils fight. So, so long ago...
Using Martial flexibility to gain Belier's Bite for 1 minute.
She brings her fist down at the wolf's snout, hoping to shatter bones
Power attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Doubt that hit. Rolling damage anyway. 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Bleed damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
I think I made the dice roller mad somehow.

The bipedal wolf simply bears a toothy small as Headsman's axe cleaves across its chest. Potentially being set on fire, however, along with getting hit by an axe, gives him a slight paws (pause)
Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
The bipedal wolf doesn't like the massive firework display and is dazzled, losing his action. The female wolf in the back feels why firearms won over slings and takes the ball in the leg, but stands up and snarls, "We'll see how you like my bullet bird-boy!".
Io's fist goes in to break the wolf's snout, but it's hard as stone and her fist bounces off it.

Albatross you're up.
Corvus Cator |
Is the ceiling high enough to try some rope trick actions to swing above the group in melee or is attempting an acrobatics check with 3 squares worth of threatened the only way?
The Albatross continues to pin the biped in the corner:
shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Corvus Cator |
I didn't think so but I thought I'd check just in case.
Yanis Boulin |
Yanis realizes he got in to close and is in where he shouldn't be, he jabs at the wolf with is spear then side steps in the the next room allowing someone more skilled to step in.
spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Bipedal Wolf 1 hurls a slingstone at the Black Merlin
Quad Wolf 1 bites at Io, Quad Wolf 2 bites at Headsman
Sling Stone: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Quad Wolf 1 bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Quad Wolf 2 bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Quad Wolf 1 trip : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Quad Wolf 2 bite damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Quad Wolf 2 trip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Neither Headsman nor Io are tripped.
Io takes 5, Headsman takes 8, the Black Merlin takes 7
Io Dorean |
Ouch. HP updated.
So, it's back to Merlin?
Yanis, we might need some of that healing here before long.
"I think there's magic involved here. These mutts should be long dead." Io raises her voice, "Is anyone able to disrupt magical auras? We need that!"
Corvus Cator |
I'm starting to think the folks in the rear should attempt to move in through a side entrance.
The Black Merlin |
if/when it's my turn
The Bipedal Wolf's sling stone slams into The Black Merlin's shoulder. He grits his teeth and levels his pistol at the slinging wolf-man. He squeezes the trigger on his pistol and it erupts in smoke and fire once more. The Merlin sets to reloading his weapon again.
'Only with bullets' The vigilante quips.
Pistol+point blank: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 vs touch
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
"Headsman" |
Or call out turns as they come up. It's pretty hard to keep track at the pace of a PbP
The second hit seems to set off something within Headsman, and he snarls back at the wolf as the claw rakes his flesh.
"Alright, you've done it now! I'm going to make a necklace outta your teeth, mutt!"
Starting up Rage, 8 rounds remaining after this one. 10 + 2 temporary hp remaining. AC-2 while rage lasts.
Greataxe Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23Damage: 1d12 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Machaera Selanna |
Initiative is under Campaign Info, along with the doodle map.
"I think there's magic involved here. These mutts should be long dead." Io raises her voice, "Is anyone able to disrupt magical auras? We need that!"
Machaera shakes her head. “Not yet – that’s more of an abjurer’s business. It looks like we’ll have to do things more crudely.”
Seeing Headsman’s mighty swing open up some space for a moment, Machaera conjures up a ball of acid in an instant and hurls it at the wolf (on four legs) between Io and the boy. acid splash, ranged touch: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 4 = 14 Damage, if hits: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Hopefully, if that's enough to bring the wolf down, that will give Io a clear charge lane. :) Also, it doesn't look like there are any enemy spellcasters about, at least, so Machaera will use her move action to stow her thunderstone again for now, and free up all her hands.
Io Dorean |
Io, frustrated at these wolves- why wouldn't they die? Lashes out with incredible ferocity, kicking and punching almost simultaneously, slamming her foot into the wolf-man attacking Headsman and bringing her fist down on the wolf in front of her.
Wolf:
Power Attack + Brawler's Flurry: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Bleed Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Wolf-Man
Power Attack + Brawler's Flurry: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Bleed Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Acrobatics (for awesomeness): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Sweet! Those might actually hit something. How do these wolves have such insane Con modifiers?
"Just- DIE!" She yells, not caring about stealth at this point (everyone in the fishery would be awake by now, and they may have even attracted the attention of the Korvosan guard by now), spinning in midair as she attacks, for no apparent reason other than to show off.

Summary of current turn results
All of Headsman's fury seems to congeal in to one huge hammer blow, as his axe slashes down and cleaves the black wolf in twain. Machaera' acid charge slams into the other wolf, burning off some fur, but it remains alive. Io breaks out into a cluster of fists, kicks, and jerky editing, crushing ribs and causing internal hemorrhaging, but the wolf with two legs stands straight. However, as it goes to move, blood gouts out of its mouth and eyes, as the internal damage is too much.
Map updated. Bipedal Wolf 2 and Quad Wolf 1 are down.
On init 12, the door from A5 slams open and another bipedal wolf with blond fur, leather armor, and wearing an amulet points a wand at headsman and says "burn in acid, false guardian of the streets! Your princess will never seen her throne again."
Acid Wand UMD check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
acid splash touch check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
acid splash damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Headsman takes 1 pt of damage as an acid splash barely grazes him.
Corvus Cator |
acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
The Albatross starts sprinting through the door, darting between friend and foe alike before rolling into a forward somersault that ends in a lunge at the cornered biped.
wakizashi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
crit check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Yanis Boulin |
Yanis' eyes flash and a wave hits the wolf, the wolf starts to retch tongue hanging out of it's mouth.
Sicken Body, DC 14 or sickened for 1 round

Quad Wolf 2's Will roll
Saving throw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
The wolf simply licks it lips and says "Mmm, tastes like human
Quad Wolf 2 takes a 5 ft step, then bites at Io
bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
The wolf's fangs bite down on Io's wrist, attempting to drag her down to be devoured at its leisure.
bite damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
trip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Io takes a vicious bite to her wrist, but she remains steady on her feet, even with the 300 lb wolf pulling on her.
Io takes 5 more hp

The other bipedal wolf (wolf 1), takes a 5 ft step back towards the one with the acid wand, and drinks a potion
Albatross, roll an attack of opportunity.
Potion roll if attack of opportunity doesn't connect
potion: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Once the attack of opportunity is done, it's The Black Merlin's turn.
Corvus Cator |
AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The Black Merlin |
Deciding to switch targets, The Merlin patiently waits for an opening to the remaining standard, 4-legged wolf. Seeing an opening he pulls the trigger.
Pistol+Point Blank: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 vs touch
Damage+Point Blank: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
"Headsman" |
"You better not have hurt her, fleabag! I'll kill you!" Headsman roars, shrugging off the acid as though it were nothing.
10 HP + 1 temp remaining. Yanis, I could use a little healing if you have a chance.
Headsman continues his rampage, striking at the quadruped wolf as he pushes past. "Outta my way!"
Power Attack Greataxe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 Damage: 1d12 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Machaera Selanna |
In a single sinuous movement, Machaera slides her rapier from its scabbard, calls a spark of magic to it, and lunges at the wolf Headsman’s just slipped past. Move action to draw, swift to dip into her arcane pool, five-foot step, and standard: attack! ;)
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 Damage, if hits: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Unfortunately, the need to close the gap makes her movements too easy to predict, and her blow is easy to dodge. "Next time," she hisses.
Io Dorean |
Io lashes out at the wolf next to her Last 4-legged one, sending a pair of kicks directly at its snout.
Brawler's Flurry: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Bleed Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Brawler's Flurry: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Bleed Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
If the first kick drops the wolf, she instead throws her shield at the bipedal wolf as her second attack.
Brawler's Shield: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
stormcrow27 |
Io's swift kicks (resists image of Gymkata...)sends the wolf into evil wolfy dying land.
The blond bipedal wolf yells acid bite in Thassilonian, and point his wand at Headsman.
UMD check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
An acid glob fires at Headsman
acid glob touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
It hits, doing acid glob: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Corvus Cator |
There's still a 4-legged wolf on the map. Should it be gone?
Yanis Boulin |
Yanis pulls his hands in towards himself, pulling energy from his body and rapidly healing his wounds. He sends out a wave of energy along his collective healing Io and Mach for 6 each.
Natural healing, 4 PP healing 12 total.
Corvus Cator |
The Albatross shifts his position to block the door as he continues to press the bipedal wolf. As the wolf swipes with its claws, he ducks under it can brings his blade wide across its belly.
wakizashi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

wakizashi crit check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

You are right, so Io and Mach, I had not added 2 more to my collective. I feel like a borg. Only 3 to each person
We'll make this work a bit easier since I would rather not kill party members in the first encounter, and being a vitalist is different from a lot of stock healing classes. Activating DM fluff. Through a miraculous intercession by the powers of psionic healing, 3 hp goes to both Io and the other 3 to Headsman. Sparkly choral singing accompanies Yanis's channeling, something about taking pain medication to clear up unsightly tartar build up.
