Kalani has never read or seen anything quite like this before.

I know that I will need to keep moving to flank, but I'm working on it.

Stevesie shouts, "I got u brah," drops his bow and takes out his shortsword and moves north four squares and then northwest one square to get flanking with Kalani.

I have Churdon draw his weapon and approach the beast. I stay 1 square away just in case, I plan on closing the distance next turn if need be.

Stevesie muses, "If only Darian (Darien?) the blind oracle was here, then he could join the Warcraft 3 fun with Illidan quotes, He's blind not deaf.

The serpentine creature moves to bite the isolated Stevesie.

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Round 2

Party Up
Churdon Initiative: 24
Ulfgar Initiative: 22
Stevesie Initiative: 18
Kalani Initiative: 13

I move to flank the creature going the long way around to not provoke an attack. I use 1 arcane pool point to give my weapon a +1 enhancement for 1 min. I then swing my sword at it.

Longsword: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10

Oh boy I thought that that hit and that I was at 0 hp. Good thing I checked again and saw that it didn't hit me.

Ulfgar fires another arrow at the beast.

Longbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Bort moves forward and attempts to bite the snake.

Bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I think there is a lot of missing going around...

The scaled serpent is quick and the party has a difficult time keeping up with its frenetic movement.

Round 2

Churdon Initiative: 24
Ulfgar Initiative: 22
Stevesie Initiative: 18 <--Up
Kalani Initiative: 13 <--Up

Taking the moment where Kalani isn't threatened, he casts Bless .

"This should aid us!" he shouts.

Then, he moves forward in an attempt to flank again. Left diagonal, up, right diagonal

Also Stevesie, you won't get the benefits of bless until next round.

Stevesie lunges at the beast, "I'm not a fan of being blessed by your god, next time I want a blessing from my god, k thnx bii."

Shortsword: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Also quick link for bless to refresh your memories

I attack it again

Longsword: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

I think its still the serpent's turn at the top of the 3rd round.

The serpent moves back under the cover of the tree and attacks Stevesie.

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

The serpent moves back under the cover of the tree and attacks Stevesie.

[dice=bite]1d20+5
[dice=damage]1d8+3

More misses all around

Round 3

Churdon Initiative: 24 <--Up
Ulfgar Initiative: 22 <--Up
Stevesie Initiative: 18 <--Up
Kalani Initiative: 13 <--Up

More misses all around

Its times like this that we need auto-resolve.

Ulfgar fires again at the beast as Bort moves to engage.

Longbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

@Ulfgar - is that taking into account the -4 for firing into melee already?

@Ulfgar - is that taking into account the -4 for firing into melee already?

Yes, he has a natural +4 for skill, +1 for within 30 feet(point-blank shot) and +1 for bless for a total net of +2

I move around Kalani, to attack the serpent

Longsword: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9

these rolls will be the death of us.

Shortsword: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Stevesie swings his sword at the beast.

Buff tracker:
Resistance (self): 7 turns left
Monstrous Insight: 8 turns left
Bless: 9 turns left

Also Stevesie, I think you missed the bless bonus!

Kalani moves forward and shouts "Let me have a swing at it!"

Including: Bless, Monstrous Insight
Morningstar: 1d20 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) - 1 + 1 + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

"Blast! It's tougher than it looks!"

Also Stevesie, I think you missed the bless bonus!

Yes I did, I rolled a 14 Rob. link

Ulfgar's keen eye lands the first blow as the arrow hits the serpent, setting up Bort's follow up attack with his bite. Hissing in pain, the serpent darts around to dodge the rest of the attacks with renewed vigor.

Unleashing at Churdon with fury:
bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The serpent's jagged fangs bite deep into his side while it attempts to coil its body around him.

Grapple: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Round 4

Churdon Initiative: 24 <--Up
Ulfgar Initiative: 22 <--Up
Stevesie Initiative: 18 <--Up
Kalani Initiative: 13 <--Up

Ulfgar and Bort reposition and continue attacking the massive snake.

Longbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

confirm critical: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

And Bort?

Lol Churdon is at -1. Sucker

Stevesie runs two squares west and then two squares north. After carefully avoiding the serpent, Stevesie is standing behind Churdon, he pours an amalgam of chemicals into a small vial and feeds the concoction to the elf a potion.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 You owe me. Also you are prone, and I guess you still have to roll your stability check.

It's not letting me post as Bort. It has the alert that I have posted seven things and cannot change my name after 10 posts but I keep clicking submit post and it doesn't work.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Buff tracker:
Resistance (self): 6 turns left
Monstrous Insight: 7 turns left
Bless: 8 turns left

Kalani moves forward and swings with his morningstar
Including: Bless, Monstrous Insight
Morningstar: 1d20 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) - 1 + 1 + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Stevesie pulls out a magical piece of paper and staples it to the guild contract. "Congratulations Churdon! You are the very first one to be dead (under 0 hp)! Please claim your reward when you call now*"

*Subject to rules and conditions

Healing auto-stabilizes. No need to roll. But an action/standing up from prone will have to happen.

But since his turn happened before mine wouldn't he have to roll to see if he drops an additional hit point? or is that some other edition?

Ok, so he needs to make the stabilization check to see if he loses one more hit point or not. Otherwise the cure will stabilize him.

@Bort - looks ok now. Want to roll that attack?

I already rolled it earlier. He had a 9 vs. ac so I assume he missed.

Ok, I guess we'll ignore Churdon's attempt to stabilize.

Round 5

The serpent attempts to flee.

AoO Bort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
AoO Kalani: 1d20 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) - 1 + 1 + 2 = 21

Somehow Kalani manages to catch it off guard with his morningstar, but only barely.

morningstar: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Despite the melee frenzy, the serpent quickly darts into the woods, its outline quickly disappearing as it's coloration blends in.

***Combat Over***

Stevesie surveys the surrounding area. "Is everyone alright? Anyone need aid?" After making sure that everyone is okay Stevesie inspects the moss on the tree, and takes a sample.

Ulfgar and Bort attempt to track the beast to discover where it went and determine if it is still a threat to the party.

Ulfgar Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Bort Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Bort also has scent so he will be able to detect the direction of the beast if it remains within 30 ft. of him.

"Didn't touch me! Although it looks like Churdon is a little more hurting"

Kalani assists Stevesie with searching for the moss.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

The elder darkwood has a trunk 30 feet in diameter. Kalani points out that the elder darkwood’s trunk has a small patch of elderwood moss like Laurel described. The growth is easily collected by even the most unskilled hand.

Bort is able to find the trail due to some bloody spots brushed against foilage and can deduce that the creature high tailed it out of there.

"That was embarassing. Anyone have anything that we can put the moss into?"
