Odric's AC is 17...
Not while flatfooted.
Bah! I announced my stab attack! How am I surprised?
You did, but I had to make a Perception check for you (at +2 for prodding weapon first) but only Grym beat the Ambush DC.
[b]Round 1[b]
Sandor hopes the monster is out of AOO's and moves up to hit swinging with his axe.
AXE:
Dmg:
I moved you in. Sandor lands a mighty hit to the.....middle of the monster.
Does Odric get an AOO for being attacked with a grapple move? The flowchart says he does.

Checked it out. Everything progressed correctly as best I can see. Otyugh makes a tentacle attack, has the grab ability (therefore no AoO) and the constrict ability.
Chris, are the green patches in C2 The Shriekers?
No, but I've added them to the map.
Initiative re-post:
Morkeleb 19
Otyug 18
Odric 17
Sandor 16
Gaius 10
Grym 9
Ferox 8
It's Odric's turn. The otyugh has opted to not enter into a grapple with you, therefore taking a -20 to its check to maintain the hold. You can either break free with a standard action, or use a light weapon to damage the tentacle.
Round the First
Odric is disgusted and a bit startled. He half-expected the reeking mass to be an Otyugh but the speed of the attack and the overpowering stench still took him by surprise.
Odric lashes out with his beautiful new custom made falchion, trying to sever the tentacle around his neck.
bah.
Sandor all ready posted his action above, Gaius is up
Gaius moves forward cautiously and focuses this round on defense. [Total Defense as a full round action] AC is now 19.
Grym!
Grym now bleeding from two nasty monster bites moves to even the score. The ranger is on full attack blades swinging and thrusting...
svord attack

dagger attack

ROUND 2
Morkeleb discards the Daze wand, and brings out the wand of Burning Arc. With the muttered incantation, a bright , curved line of fire--much like, well, an arc--issues from the end of the wand to connect with the creature's skull.
Burning Arc fire damage: Ref DC 13 for half
Grym, both attacks come in quickly, but don't land a telling enough blow to damage the creature.
Someone autopilot Ferox....
Morkeleb's second wand lands a solid hit and burns the beast. The smell of cooked s!*$e monster nearly overwhelms the melee fighters..
The inquisitor shoots an arrow at the s$$!e monster...
The inquisitor shoots an arrow at the s%*&e monster...
Ferox takes aim and lets loose an arrow at the creature.
Attack: for
Damage: damage.
Ferox lands an arrow directly in center mass. The beast howls, "Food bite back! Hungries!!!"
The beast almost absentmindedly continues to strangle Odric but fails to maintain the hold.
The second tentacle goes for Sandor. , but can't gain purchase over the dwarf's armor.
Finally the otyugh tries to chomp through Sandor's armor. , and teeth succeed where noodly appendage failed. (Success)
Power Attack (Furious Focus) with MW Falchion: for damage.
round 2 hp 24/30
Sandor starts to curse and yell at the monster but remembers they are trying to be somewhat quiet. He tries to bury his axe in once again.
Axe combat ex: ac=24
Dmg:
Movement: 5' step clockwise into the break in the wall if that is a viable move again I am on my phone and can't move my piece
5' Step and Total Defense.
Is Odric's position correct? He's attacking but is 10' back from the monster.
Odric, you can't reach the beast. It's got a much longer reach than you. Sandor, the beast blocks the entrance. You could attempt to tumble through...
Sandor lands another telling blow, and there are wounds all over the beast. A solid blow from Grym could end it all.
Can I instead overrun to flank? I'll take any AOO.
Assuming success, sure.
Ok, round 2, Odric goes for the flank rather than swing his sword ineffectually from across the room. Sorry no map. On phone.
I will push through and take the AoO unless Odric take it before me due to init.
The ranger still bleeding from the damned monster's bite is ready to end this. A hard thrust...
Svord
svord damage
I'm waiting for some conflict resolutions before I move, yes?
On phone now. Grym's is a death blow. Out of initiative.
Triage! Grym, Sandor and Odric all injured?
How bad?
Meanwhile, remembering this type of creature's propensity to storing treasure in its crap, Morkeleb does the Detect Magic thing to scan the area. He also retrieves the Daze Monster wand, wiping it carefully on his soiled clothes before storing it again.
Triage! Grym, Sandor and Odric all injured?
How bad?
Grym says he feels just a touch better then 50%.
He whispers ta Gaius I'm good for now lad, just wrenched me shoulder a bit. That thing got a big mouth latched onta me shield when I was avoidin the tenticle, and twisted it a bit.
Sandor stick's his head through the opening of the wall and looks to see if we attracted any attention.
Perception:
Can someone check ta see if we disturbed the guard's back there before move along?
The passage here is narrow, and semi-blocked up with refuse. It would be easy enough to tear down. Several pieces of broken furniture, dried hay, and fragments of lumber burn in a small fire at the center of this open, ruggedly carved cavern. Short alcoves filled with filthy, oversized rats’ nests dot the walls, and the disgusting drip of polluted black condensation echoes through the chamber. A thick flow of sewage spreads across the western edge of the chamber, seeping from a crack in the western wall to another in the south. A quartet of hybrid rat men torment some large black rats. They're laughing loudly and constantly. Somehow, miraculously, they haven't heard you.
Waiting until Morkelb and everyone get done searching the area for treasures.
Pulling everyone to a group There are 4 baddies that we're not supposed ta kill about or 40 feet feet from the openin. They are on the other side of the fire so ya think we can get em ta sleep or otherwise unharmed? Only difficulty is that the passage is somewhat blocked, but I think we can take it apart quietly enough.
Looking at Morkelb Think ya can save one of those prestiga...presgig..presdididastations or what eva ya call em for me for when we get outta this sewage?
Sleep spell?
I'm going to do XP at the end of this... scene...
Are you sure one of them isn't our man ...err Were Rat?
I think sleep spell is still the right call, but we should be ready to pounce if it fails. We didn't disturb the shriekers and they likely think the Otyugh would handle anyone else in this direction. We have a good chance to completely catch them by surprise.
Channel Positive Energy heals to everyone.
Grym needs some more attention so I'll use the Wand of Cure Light Wounds on him.
Cure Light Wounds
Cure Light Wounds
Cure Light Wounds
Three charges expended.
Perhaps we can save a more thorough search for after this threat is dealt with. Worry not, Sandor: I've prepared Prestidigidation and can therefore cast it at will this day; I shall get everyone as clean as I can forthwith!
.
I will gladly use a Sleep spell, but depending on their willpower and strength, there is no guarantee that all--or even any--of them will actually succumb. I have another method or two to try to keep at least one occupied, but violence might be necessary. Let me know when all is ready, and I'll proceed.
Morkeleb brings out his wand of Magic Missile, and readies his staff for casting.
Let's do this.
No magical auras.
Cast the spell already!
Only when the companions are ready with missile weapons, or charging positions, Morkeleb casts Sleep, centered on the center of the group of wererats--catching as many in the area is possible.
Will DC 18
Three of the wererats drop into a deep sleep. The fourth stares at his now comatose playmates...and screams.
