Elijah will attempt to stab the guard again

attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24
crit confirm: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
if crit: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Lukasz Round 1

Not wielding a weapon and not preferring to use his limited number of spells on a fight where the group already had the advantage of numbers, he prays, "Asmodeus, steady your faithful's hand to ensure that their blow strikes as efficiently as your scribed contract."

Casting Guidance on Elijah, +1 to next skill check or attack roll

Grumblejack Round 1

Grumblejack roars as he breaks out of his cell. Squeezing through the tiny doorway and makes his way into the cell block.

Double moves into the room.

Captain Roger Round 1
The Captain shifts into a Crane Style and then strikes at the enemy before him, connecting but the guard's armor is too thick for the blow to hit him.

Attack Roll 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Guards Round 1
The Guard nearest the doorway will fumble for his signal horn, blowing it loudly and draw his longsword standing ready against Elijah.

The Guard near the stairway's head seems in a fog as he dazedly stares at the Captain while being assaulted.

Round 1
Lanarial slid into the room with the captain, swinging but missing the guard. Varshana used her wiles to Daze the mind of the guard near the stairs. Elijah stabbed and connected with the guard by the doorway drawing blood for the now terrified guard. Grumblejack moved into the room while Dargon took the opportunity to step behind the giant and hide in the shadows. The Captain continued his assault on the Dazed guard. The Guards finally realizing whats going on, one has drawn a weapon and blown his signal horn.

Round 2Map

Maintaining Crane Style and fighting defensively, Roger will fire off another punch at his guard.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 2 = 3 EDIT: I'm rolling crap right now. :-(
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

AC is 21. He'll deflect the first melee attack that hits him.

Is it possible for Lanarial to draw the dazed guards longsword and use it, since he's just standing there? If yes, then that's what I'll do!

Lanarial grins as the guard stands dumbly, just waiting to have his throat slit. Timing his attack with the Cap'n, he darts in and slashes at the exposed flesh of the soon-to-be dead guard...
Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

They still defend themselves normally, but can take no action. If you wanted you could use the [ooc]Steal Combat maneuver to take it its CMB vs CMD +5 for a sheathed weapon.[/ooc]

We'll just kill him first, then I'll take his longsword, and armor, and whatever else I can pull off his corpse ;-)

I will attack the same guard again, hoping to kill him...

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
damage if hit: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Dargon will stay behind Grumblejack and if the Ogre heads into the room e will follow him into the room in stealth.

Acid Splash Concentration Check: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10 vs. DC 20

Varshana whips her hands back and forth in strange and jarring motions. She utters some words and smiles and points at the same guard she dazed. Her smile fades as nothing happens, and she curses.

Cursing at the signal horn is blown, Lukasz knows the group had to get out of there before the whole prison came down on top of their heads. However, seeing Grumblejack barreling around the corner and not seeing much room to manuever around Elijah, Lukasz decides to stay where he was and shouts, "Clear the way!"

Lukasz holds his action until Grumblejack is able to enter the fray.

"S#!t" Roger desperately lashes out again at his guard, hoping to drop him before reinforcements arrive.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 - 2 = 14 still fighting defensively
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Grumblejack looks at the tiny doorway and Elijah fighting in the doorway and begins to growl menacingly at the guards beyond his reach.

Intimidate check 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11

The guard facing off with Elijah is to entrenched in his own battle to notice the low growls of the ogre. The guard lets out a slurred yell and takes a wild swing at Elijah.

Attack roll 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 2 = 6

The guard by the stairs narrowly dodge's the captain's blow drawing his own longsword to attack. What are you doing, we have to detain them stop swinging like that!

Attack roll -4 for nonlethal 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 4 = 14

Round 3 Map

Round 3 action

Daze Concentration Check: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20 vs. DC 20 for 0-level spell.

Varshana grits her teeth and rips another piece of her clothing off. She mutters some words again, and swings her arm holding the piece of tattered clothing.

Daze on the guard that wasn't by the stairs before. DC 14 Will save.

Is this a new round cause I am a little confused lol

Initiative order
Lanarial 21
Vashana 19

Dargon is hiding in the shadows behind Grumblejack also waiting for an opportune moment to move in and strike.
The Captain took a swing fighting defensively against the guard by the stairs but was unable to land a solid blow on the guard.
The guard in combat with Elijah took a wild drunken swing but was unable to connect, though his intent to kill was obvious.

Round 3 Stars using above Initiative, map is 3 posts up.

Does doing the recap at the top of each round help it along?

First blood...every cut counts in a knife fight...

Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

crit confirm!

Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Yes, thank you

Elijah will take another hack at the guard near him refusing to die.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

After to strike, Elijah will take a step to the side in hopes to clear the way for the heavy hitting ogre. free 5 left on map to be out of doorway

Dargon continues to stay in the shadows behind the big guy, waiting for an opportunity to move in and get a weapon to use.

Lanarial's blade nimbly dances through the guards defense, cutting a deep blow through his neck. The guard's eyes bulge in pain as he tries yell, his slit throat not allowing sound to escape. His body goes limp and falls to the ground, blood puddling under him.

Will save, -2 drunk 1d20 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 1 - 2 = -1

The guard by the door's mind already fogged from the drunken stupor is easily Dazed by your enchantress.

Elijah strikes at the now Dazed guard hitting the guard with a much deeper strike and even getting a small twist in before pulling back and sliding out of the way. The guard, still standing is bleeding profusely.

Elijah your dagger should be at a +4, +3 strength, +1 for BAB, and since that was a critical threat. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 Does not confirm.

Wasn't a natural 19 so no possible critical threat, I wish though lol

Herp derp. Yes, you are completely correct; and with that I'm going to bed.

Lanarial will take the dead guard's longsword and offer the dagger to another party member if they desire to have it. He will listen for any other guards coming up the stairs while checking for keys, personal belongings, money, etc.

I don't think he'll have time to strip the armor from the guard and don it himself, but that will occur at some point... ;-)

Once we are out of battle, Varshana may take that dagger!

the guard by the door is still standing so no looting yet as we're still in initiative.

Roger grins as the first guard collapses. Glancing over his shoulder, he sees the other guard is still up and leaps toward him, extending his leg into a perfect flying kick.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

5ft step toward the remaining guard. Ending up against the wall so Lanarial has room to move up if needed. No defensive fighting this round, so my AC is currently an 18.

Round 3 Recap
Lanarial's blade nimbly dances through the guards defense, cutting a deep blow through his neck. The guard's eyes bulge in pain as he tries yell, his slit throat not allowing sound to escape. His body goes limp and falls to the ground, blood puddling under him.
Varshana dazes the guard in the doorway.
Elijah gets his own cuts in then darts out the of the doorway making room for the others to enter.
Lukasz holds, waiting for Grumblejack to enter the room.
Grumblejack holds waiting for room to enter.
Dargon remains hidden.
The captain takes a flying kick at the guard in the doorway. The captains kick is enough to shatter the guards ribs as he falls to the ground bleeding from his own wounds.

Round 4 Map

Is that both guards down now?

Now Lanarial takes the dead guard's longsword and offer the dagger to Varshana. He will listen for any other guards coming up the stairs while checking for keys, personal belongings, money, etc. Are there any other weapons in the room? (Bows specifically)

If there is time (i.e. no guards rushing up the stairs to see what the noise was all about) he will start taking the armor off the dead guard and donning it.

Yes both guards are down, but stay in initiative (aka declare one action you're taking because more will arrive soon.

Each guard has a longsword, a longbow, a quiver with 20 arrows, a chain shirt, a heavy steel shield and a key. There is also a peg with a ring of 7 keys by the door.

Dargon will follow Grumblejack into the room and say we should check to see if one of those keys open the office door to the left there before we go downstairs. If someone has a weapon I can Use that would be good as well. Perhaps a Dagger.

Oh, then I'll change my action :p

Lanarial takes the longbow and quiver (and sword if he can) then hides in the chimney (or whatever that is on the bottom wall opposite the stairs). Stealth 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

From his concealed position, Lanarial will snipe at the guards when they come up the stairs.
Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 =(
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Elijah will grab a longsword and heavy steel shield. He will attempt to don the armor hastily if he thinks he has the time before more come along for the ride. He will pass the dagger off to Dargon to use. He leaves the bow/arrows to others, ranged combat is not his preferred style. He prefers up close and personal, he wants to see the guards fear in their eyes and watch the blood drain from their faces as they perish into the darkness., which is where they tried to send him!

Don hastily is 5 rounds compares to 10, does Elijah think he can don it in that time? Otherwise double move action to grab sword/shield and ready them

Varshana saunters into the guards' room and grabs the proffered dagger. She runs a finger along its edge, "Yes, this will do nicely." She snaps her head back to the corridor, "Grumblejack darling, could you be so kind and go up these stairs and take care of the guards sure to come down."

Roger will ignore the weapons/armor and take a defensive stance by the stairs. He's prepared to tank anyone who comes up until everyone else is ready.

Dargon takes the dagger and looks at the bow before stating. Im not strong enough to pull that back. if it was smaller Id take it. Elijah, you should carry it in case...

Then he moves to help Elijah put on the armor.

That cuts the time in half

Cursing as the escape attempt got off to a rocky start, Lukasz says "They are sure to arrive soon." Forgoing the shield for the moment, Lukasz begins to issue orders that he hopes others will be willing to follow. "No Grumblejack, take position in the center of the room, if you would be so kind. Elijah and our dear Captain, take up ranks on both sides of Grumblejack. We need to use these close quarters to our advantage. Captain! do you think you can subdue one of the guards? We need to figure out a way to cancel out the alarms before the entire prison comes down on our heads." With that, Luaksz makes sure to grab the ring of keys, in case the group ends up beating a hasty retreat.

as he worked at the leather clasps and buckles of Elijah's new found armor, Dargon nodded at Lukasz. They wioll likely send someone to investigate. When that occurs, they need to be dealt with promptly and then we go downstairs. However we need to go into that room to see what is up and make sure a guard isn't hiding that t=could spring up behind us. he points at the other door. Check to see if it's locked. If it is take over for me here and let me unlock it

Round 4 and 5 recap
Lanaraial takes the bow and quiver donning them, then moves over into the fireplace hiding himself and knocking an arrow. The fireplace is warm, but the lack of soot or even firewood in the room shows it has not been lit in some time. You would assume the warmth is coming from the room below.Move to pick up a weapon, move to pick up quiver. Move to fireplace. Standard to ready shot.

Lukasz moves into the room, stepping over the guards body and grabbing the keys off the wall issuing orders to the others. Move action into the room, move action to grab the keys. You have 1 round of actions left before I move into round 6.
Grumblejack moves into the center of the room squeezing his way slowly through the doorway. He looks at the tiny weapons you are picking up and scoffs at their small size. He balls his hands into a fist and prepares to strike at whomever climbs the stairs first.Move action into the room, Move action into the room. Standard action to ready an attack. Has 1 move action he will forgoe.
Dargon moves into the room taking Elijah's offered dagger, then moves to the doorway attempting to open the locked door. Move into the room. Move to take the dagger. Move to the door after the Captain leaves that space, Standard to pick the lock. 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Dargon will get the door unlocked and opened at the end of this round.
Captain Roger moves to the stairway then takes total defense waiting for someone to enter the stairs. Move to the top of the stairs. Standard for Total Defense. You have a full round of actions remaining you may take before I start round 6.

As you move around and set up your defense, those of you near the stairway will hear a door open and the sound of boots moving into the room below. It sounds as though they're moving towards the stairs. New combatants will arrive during round 6 those of you who have round 5 actions left please give me your round 5 and 6 actions.

Round 6 Map

Round 5
With time to spare, Lukasz decides it best to strap on the unattended shield. Though he had never seen combat, he had seen his brother train enough with it to mimic the movement.

Move action to move over to unattended shield. Move action to pick up shield.

Round 6

Shield it hand, Lukasz dons the shield before once more incanting, "Lord of Darkness, bequeth your infernal blessing on our forsaken Captain, so that he might know the infallible grace you bless."

Move action to equip shield Standard action to cast Guidance on Captain Roger, +1 to one attack, save or skill roll, lasts for one minute or until bonus is used.

Dont know if I have any actions remaining, but a couple questions first. Don hastily cuts time in half so 5 rounds to don armor? Then somebody was helping me so cuts down to 2 rounds? If not, then Elijah will foregone donning the armor. Free action to toss it down when he hears the footsteps of the reinforcements coming. He takes a defensive stance to gain +2 AC for -4 atk :)

End the Total Defense, maintain Crane Style, readied action to strike the first person to come up the stairs. I'll be fighting defensively, so AC is currently 21.

Dargon continues to work on the door.

Elijah the table here is the table from the core rulebook. Donning hastily cannot assisted and would take 5 rounds. The issue here is that before you can don the armor you must first take it off the guard wearing it. Removing a chain shirt takes 1 minute. This can be assisted to cut the time in half thus 5 rounds. I used your actions as well as the actions assist you to help remove the armor counting for 2/10 round needed to remove the armor from the guard's body. 1 round of your action and 1 round of assisting. Hope that clears it up.

Okay, cool. was confused...can I retcon my actions then since I would assume Elijah would know better than to attempt something that would take more time that what is currently there. If possible then round 5, Elijah would use a double move to grab sword and shield. Round 6 Elijah would use a move to ready shield and ready an attack action to take a swipe at the a guard that get withing striking distance. If not that that's cool :)

No problem at all.
Dargon, the door is unlocked and opens into a room you should be familiar with. This is where you were taken when your visitor came earlier. The room is plain and featureless save for a large wooden table and 4 chairs.
