DM Maslen's Second Darkness PF Conversion (Inactive)

Game Master Pathfinder Maslen

Everything after Marcus' action where he killed the bandit is on initiatives. So everyone else is where they are on the map link until your initiative action.

You didn't move Tam to Marcus' side. Tam moved there before we entered a new initiative... right?

EDIT: I guess it really doesn't matter as I missed anyways. So whether I could attack after moving or not doesn't really matter.. I'll just attack him next round.

No Tam I did not as Marcus' action was the decisive action. Until that point everyone was fleeing.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Iscarel turns, shrugs at the halfling, and takes off down the alley. (Double move to DG29) Just as he looks as if he's about to take off, he cuts into the alleyway, bow whirling into his hand and hastily stringing it as he looks to wheel around the corner.

And to think, I've gone a year without shooting a single arrow! This should be good. Time to show 'em how we do it in Celwyvinian

Let's do it! Already posted my action. Bandit 2 is toast

Ascaria screams out as Marcus heads back trying to save Andrezi. She knew it was a noble and righteous thing to do... the right thing to do. But she also knew what else it meant. When he runs away ordering Tam do get the others out of here, she screams after him with tears welling up in her eyes. "Don't you dare leave me like that, Marcus Whiteshae! If you get yourself killed I will never forgive you!"

She sees Tam and Tippy joining in with Marcus' frantic rescue attempt. A rougish smile creeps onto her face beneath the pain and the tears. "Oh these guys. What did I get into here? And to think that I care the most for the worst one in the lot... Desna, save us..."

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

The gang member set apart from the others sees the devastating attack Marcus made against another of the gang and yells out.

"Badeye! Heeeeeeeeeelp! Ohhhhh gods!"

He then turns and gets away from this very scary brutal killer.

Ethaniel's Initiative Roll

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Tippy's initiative

Tippy moves at a run toward the group grappling Andrezi.

"Kill their boss. Take out F%#-Eye!"

Ascaria's View Rnd1

The plan was to withdraw but now it has been revised again and you turn to see Marcus and Tippy out of sight but you know exactly whats happening through the yelling of commands.

Tam's View Rnd1

Tam, I gave you the move upto Marcus's position before he charged and you have intoned your Elvish prayer to Desna. Now you may revise your action if you so wish.

The gang member set apart from the others sees the devastating attack Marcus made against another of the gang and yells out.

"Badeye! Heeeeeeeeeelp! Ohhhhh gods!"

He then turns and gets away from this very scary brutal killer.

Get back here and die like the Mook you are!

Tam double Moves to Marcus' side ( DS 41 ) blades at the ready to protect his flank.

"You forced this fight CURS... come and reap your rewards!! We do not abandon our own!!!"

Tam is still fighting Defensively ready to receive the thug's counterattack.

Tam moves in to support Marcus. Marcus steps into the nearby bandit and fells him also in mere seconds. The bandit stood no chance, he didn't even have time to react. He was outmatched and overpowered entirely. Little did he know that this Ranger favored humans as prey.

Two of the grapple group let go and move to guard against the threat. These two were no mere beggars or pick pockets. They were garbed similarly to the stalker. They stand weapons in hand as the remaining members fight to maintain a grip on Andrezi.

Perception check (listen) all

As the bandit falls Marcus levels a bloody blade at the 2 who would throw their lives away to try and stop him.

LET. HIM. GO.

Ha! Don't worry, you werent alone. How was father's day? :P

Sorry for the delay. Ethaniel will double move to DU39. If I could get close enough for Channel Energy, I would, but if I take a 20-foot move and a standard, it will only affect myself and Ascaria.

How many times have I cast my lot today?

Round 2 Commences

Tippy's Init View Rnd2

You now have two well equipped gang members before you with weapons in hand, poised for attack.

Ascaria, in the 1st round, I merely moved you a double move to keep initiatives turning over. Hope that was okay.

Ascaria's Init View Rnd2

Before you an extremely dangerous encounter is commencing. Marcus however has made extremely short work of two thugs, brutally cutting them down before him. Burgeoning need blossoms from your allies as you feel the dread of what may soon happen dawning upon you. It was no longer a dream, this is a fight for your lives.

Tippy delays. He needs allies to fight these guys to best effect. He'll wait until his friends have engaged them and then move to an advantageous position.

Tam's Init View Rnd2

Tam mutters a very rude expletive to his inner voice, "f!@# you!"

{If your not going to help; shut the hell up! I DON'T need YOU... not NOW or EVER!!!}

Tam will hold position readying an action move to flank anyone that advances upon Marcus in melee.

[OOC: channel positive energy is a 30'ft radius burst centered upon the cleric. Ethaniel is close enough to get Marcus, Tam and Ascaria. I'm waiting for that healing.]

Andrezi still concious for now yells warning to you.

"He's sending a group to flank you. Watch your ...."

His warning is abruptly cut short.

Another bandit moves into view and throws a dart.

Dart throw vs Tippy AC19 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

But misses entirely.

Marcus' Init View Rnd2

Everyone advanced but are hesitant to engage and hold their positions. Was it fear or tactic? Andrezi warns you that a flank is forming adding another front to the fight.

Stay with me Tam, close to the wall.

Marcus CHARGES to square DM or DL 46 (depending how you charge along diagonals) feinting and overhead chop, then shortening up for a reverse grip two handed downward stab.

2 handed Charge PA, FE1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 - 1 + 2 = 26
Damage1d6 + 6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 + 2 = 12

Once again the slice is brilliant. The strike Brutal.

Apollo. Still in Guard mode, easily matches his masters charge, staying on his heel and biting at the same Rogue.

Bite Charge1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13plus trip if it hits.
Damage1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

After Marcus goes, Tippy moves to DK47. He can go around the thug without getting within his reach until he steps up to him.

"...At your right hand Marcus."

Tam CHARGES to square DN 47 {hugging the wall so getting around him will require acrobatics} feint high for a vicious slash that he expects to be blocked but the real attack is the rapiers thrust below the thugs defenses from the overly telegraphed high slash.

Full round action - Rapier Charge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Rapier - Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Speaking to the inner voice, {You want to help? Then go deal with the flanking thugs!}

The comment mostly meant in facetiousness as Tam knows IT is only a voice in his mind...

Marcus charges and as he gets to his new targets, he is subject to a waiting attack.

Ready attack vs Marcus AC16 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Crit Fumble Reflex DC10 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

The waiting gang member was unable to rally the courage to strike true.

Tippy moves wide and tactically positions to cause the 'Hand' to fail in his defending on two fronts.

Tam charges in to stay with Marcus and is also subjected to a waiting readied attack.

Ready attack vs AC15 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

This shortsword attack hits the charging elf and draws more blood from the elf.

Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Marcus does, once again strike fearsomely with his Scimitar but the 'Hand' stands his ground and is able to fight on.

Iscarel's init view Rnd2

You stand alone.

We still have a few actions remaining in Rnd2. This is pretty much for my benefit of keeping initiative order handy. Awaiting Ascaria's action still for Rnd2 and of course Iscarel and Ethaniel.

Tam is reeling the last blow taking the wind out of him... his chain shirt is darkened with his blood - he will not last much longer.

But courageously... or perhaps stubbornly the elf does not flee or retreat...

Was hoping our cleric would have channeled but oh well. I'll start seriously looking into making another character as I don't think Tam will survive this fight.

Go total defense. AC21 isn't easy for mooks to hit at this level....although a kick a$$ full melee would be cool

Heh. Doesn't give me much to go on for my option, but I'll stick with Tippy's plan and move in to flank. I'd rather take potshots with my bow than get myself caught out of position, but I should be able to draw some fire. Besides, it's about time the elf shot his bow, isn't it?

Iscarel will move to DB33, drawing the scavenged shortbow to his brow with the forgotten grace and skill of an elven ranger. Picking out his target, preferably one with no cover, outside of melee and within 30 feet, he'll whisper something to his nocked arrow and send it whistling through the air. "Fly true."

Shortbow Attack1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Shortbow Damage1d6 ⇒ 3
Does not include Point Blank Shot

Gaaaah. Double posted, and deleting one shaved ten off of my roll. Why do the forum goblins hate me?

Channel Energy only has a 30 foot radius. With a 20 foot move, I could not get close enough to the group to use it last round.

Ethaniel's Init View Rnd2

DR42 is as close as I can get with a single move action. That still puts Tam and Marcus out of channeling range, right? If so, I will double move to DO44. If not, I'll move to DR42 and channel.

Move a single then ready to channel as soon as Tam and Marcus step back 5ft. At least you'll get a channel off this round.

I have mixed feelings about it, as I don't want the others to leave Tippy high and dry, but I think I do need to get off some healing before those three thugs act again. A 5-Foot Step will still let Tam and Marcus full attack.

"Ascaria, come my way!" Ethaniel calls out to his companions. "Marcus! Tam! They've drawn you too far! Step back!" The half-elf clutches at his holy symbol, preparing to call forth positive energy.

As Waife recommended, Ethaniel will move to DR42 and ready an action to Channel Energy.

OK
