DM_Waife, do you mean the one opponent attacking Marcus's dog? I assume the man standing diagonally to me is Andrezi...I don't 'see' any other red enemy figures... unless its the back of a fleeing foe off the map proper.

- Oh and sorry no post yesterday... was playing STAR WARS: OLD REPUBLIC all night. {blush}

I gave the coords of your nearest foe. You can only just see him as he is around the corner.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Seeing Marcus fell his foe and Apollo engage the one man left out in the open, Tam spots the nearest foes ducking around the corner.

Just to make sure he keeps fleeing Tam moves to the barrel just outside the alley using it for cover and ready to attack with thrown daggers if necessary to 'encourage' the street thug to continue his flight.

Passing Ascaria he mutters, "Stay close milady... until we know all our foes are dealt with or fleeing for certain!"

Tam watches him closely scowling at the street thug gesturing his readiness to throw his dagger if he does not continue to flee...

Move Action: Move to (S 18) - ducking behind barrel weapons still at the ready

[OOC: My apologies for holding the game up... just got off of work...]

Still here.

Iscarel fails to notice the caltrops that were spread on the ground by the bandit.

Caltrops vs Iscarel AC15 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

All near by hear the bard yell out in sudden pain.

Iscarel, take 1 point of damage and speed reduced to half for 24hrs.

Tam, here's a slightly more revealed map for you to revise that move. I am not sure if you know where the baddy is that I am referring too. Tam's View Rnd 4 revised

Just clarifying Tam's action then continuing.

Perceptions all round please

Perception1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21+2 vs Humans

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Perception - 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Oh! Ok..sorry. I thought this game was being put on hiatus. Thx for the Map update I understand now.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

{Revised Action}

Tam moves at the opponent in the alley confidently moving right up to him and then ducking and rolling under his guard to tumble up to his feet on the other side of him blocking any escape - menacing him with dagger and rapier in hand!

Standard Action: Total Defense = +4AC {Current w/buckler 22}
Move Action: Move 15'ft to (P 24) through (Q 24)!
Tumbling: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Tam still threatens squares adjacent to him if the foe tries to move around him or flee he strikes.

Tam speaks his words of deadly intent, "Oh no, my prey, YOU at least will stay and entertain us with some answers - like who is your boss, where he may be found and why he had you attack us!?! Answer freely and you will go free or answer unwillingly and bleed freely! But answer you will in truth or in pain. Your choice. Choose now!!"

Nice!

@Tam

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Tam confronts the remaining thug in one of the alleys, now beside the thief the thief could see he was in a bad position but could still make a getaway.

Round 5 commences

** spoiler omitted **

Sorry, have been without power for the past 18 hours. Just now able to reply. So Tam will simply move 20'ft and still do the same thing.

Spotting the running cut-throats further down the alley Tam yells for his companions, "Ascaria, Marcus, Ethaniel! They are not fleeing! They are regrouping for a continued attack with greater numbers!"

Keeping his eyes on his foe before him Tam says, "You have one option... drop your weapon and surrender or I'm going to end you now! We didn't start this fight... but YOU, at least, will not be alive to see it's finish if you don't surrender NOW!"

{Don't hesitate... kill him! You can't trust him... he'd kill you...!}

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"Tam is right, but it is not just those near us that call for help! Voices cry out in the distance as well, with similar pleas! We will find ourselves surrounded by foes!" Ethaniel's eyes fall on Marcus's dog, baring short fangs against longer blades. He hustles towards the man that wields them, whip flailing behind.

Double-move to V20.

Ascarias action, round 4

With Tam obviously in control of the situation, Ascaria whirls around and sees Apollo attacking another of those unwashed bandits. She moves a little closer to S18, careful to stay in a relative cover, and casts daze on the thug (Will negates, DC13).

Stalker Hand Will Save vs Daze DC13 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The stalker is unable to resist the effects of Ascaria's spell and his mind becomes clouded with indecision.

Marcus hearing the calls and in unfamiliar territory looks around. They were in an area where the attackers new the land better and they were outnumbered. They needed a strong point, he looks to Tam. We need to get inside!

He sheaths his scimitar and draws his short bow as he moves 20ft west to start linking up with his allies.

Marcus, would you care to have Apollo make his attack this round? He is still under your Handle command.

The dazed stalker is unable to do anything except defend himself, his mind muddled and mostly confused.

His companion currently facing Tam makes a full withdraw using all his energy and attention to not get hit by the elf.

Tumble vs Tam's CMD16 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

Fail Acrobatics to avoid fall DC16 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7

Tippy retrieves his daggers, feeling he's going to be needing them soon. "Or a roof!" Tippy yells back. "Inside could mean getting separated."

May I take my AoO at the prone target? I assume he is not flat-footed or flanked.

On Marcus's turn Apollo attacks the man.

Bite+Trip1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14Trip CMB=17
Damage1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The dog moves to W13, trying to bail the foe up against the wall.

Andrezi looks at Tam with frustration. "Kill the little s%!$! Screw the talking!" He then moves up to the man with menacing mirth and attacks with a dagger.

Dagger vs Prone AC13 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Confirm Crit 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Crit Confirmed Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 + 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Andrezi drives his dagger into the mans back right and into his kidneys.

Even though the stalker is dazed Apollo fails to bite the man.

May I take my AoO at the prone target? I assume he is not flat-footed or flanked.

Sure you can, only -4 AC for Prone. No sneaks.

Tam strikes out with his rapier at the fleeing street thug.

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 4 = 22{Prone}

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The elf lets out a snarl of agony as he nearly drops to his knees, clutching his leg. "...ngh. Nadorhuan! I'll cut out your tongue and feed it to the wolves!" he roars as the man flees.

Iscarel flashes Marcus a frantic glance at Marcus, and down the nearby alley to the north. "Lle lakwenien?" he curses, despair tinging his voice as he sees his companions turn tail. With nothing left to do, he hobbles after them, wide-open, double moving to W30.

what's the extra +4 on the attack? You hit with 18 but want to know. If its for being higher I don't believe it applies.

If the target is prone, you get a +4 bonus to hit it, in addition the penalties they have to their AC. Being prone is nasty.

Where's it say that tipster. Reference me

Apologies, there is no bonus to hit, just the -4 penalty to the armour class, but I've seen it enough in pbp to wonder if adding the +4 to the attacker has become a type of shorthand approach.

The reference is in the entry on the prone condition.

-4AC is ample negative and is as the prone condition description.

** spoiler omitted **

Marcus turns with his bow ready,

Iscarel, I got you to U30 which was best for if you went southern route you would have to navigate around the caltrop square and loose some distance.

Tam's attack as the bandit attempted to tumble away hits true and the man began to fall to the ground. As part of his failed attempt to acrobatically escape or due to Tam's opportune attack.

It did not matter though when Andrezi stepped in and finishes the thug off precisely.

Cheers. That works for me.

Marcus hearing the calls and in unfamiliar territory looks around. They were in an area where the attackers new the land better and they were outnumbered. They needed a strong point, he looks to Tam. We need to get inside!

He sheaths his scimitar and draws his short bow as he moves 20ft west to start linking up with his allies.

Tam does not take time to argue with Andrezi's frustrated words sparing one last glance to make sure the thug is down for good.

Yelling a reply to Marcus' commands, "Fine, Everyone make for the L-shaped building and get inside it! Its the biggest cover around and we can get that thug off Apollo!"

Tam turns and dashes from the alley making his way toward the embattled war-hound but staying just out of Marcus' and Ethaniel's line of fire. Brandishing his Dagger and Rapier ready to strike the last thug standing once he closes to melee.

Full-Round Action: Double Move to (U 16)
