[b]Surprise Round![/OOC]
Exiel, Corwin, Small white furry thing. No one else acts in Surprise Round. Please see the Map of the Monestary..

Akinra: I can't edit the map. Do you need to change a setting of some sort?

Exiel will avert his eyes from the creature, take a 5ft step East, and ready an action to cast burning hands if the creature comes within range.

Corwin, hold up. I'll burn him once he gets close, and then you charge in.

I suggest you ready an action to charge after my burning hands spell. If he does not get in range in the surprise round, we can re-discuss tactics.

Earlier, when I had the map editable, so many moves happened, I couldn't CTRL Z to undo them all to figure out what was happening. It is deliberate now. Just say where you move to, and what you do, and I will move the map around.

too happy to let it come to us. Besides, I am too tired to charge anyway

If I have a clear shot, shoot my bow. Otherwise Ready an action for when I do

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

fatigued, can't charge

The beast moves forward slowly, possibly also fatigued? The creature stops just short of coming into full view.
Begin Round 1

Initiative order? Are we all going before the fluff-ball?

Everyone but Ralph beat the Yeti
Order:
Everyone except Ralph, Yeti, Ralph.

I had a bad feeling that might be the case.

Edit: Well, Ash will walk directly south of the (pot/urn?) south of the fluff ball and take a shot from over the urn.

attack roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
damage roll: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Exiel moves 2 squares West and casts burning hands.

damage: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 1) + 4 = 12

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Exiel moves into range to cast his spell at the Yeti, and is suddenly frozen with fear, Paralyzed 1 round

Seeing Exiel get paralyed in fear, Corwin moves to intercept after Ash takes his shot, averting his gaze from the yeti I'm going to die one of these days protecting people move three squares to the east, and one north east.

Avert Eyes 1-50 is a failure: 1d100 ⇒ 90

if I fail to avert the gaze

possible will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

if not paralyzed myself rolling the concealment check due to averting eyes, 1-20 auto miss.

concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 29

if concealment check passes

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
damage: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Probably missed, could have been worse though.

Akina, Looks like Ash is close enough where he should have made his save as well based on positioning before he would have been able to fire that shot?

One sec, I was averting my eyes, so I get a 50% chance to avoid the gaze. (See my post 10 posts up.)

following Cor's 1-50 is failure post: 1d100 ⇒ 60

Edit: Boom. =)

@ CorwinYep ]Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Exiel Ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

The scent of singed yeti fur and burning wood assaults your nostrils, though it appears the beast avoided the worst of it.

The crazed beast tears into the man who willingly stepped in front of him.
To Hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + (6) + 2 = 10 1d6 is Cold damage
To Hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + (1) + 2 = 6 1d6 is Cold damage

Raking a huge gash across the Aasimar, who (possibly for the first time) actually notices the biting cold. Resist 5 cold on first attack = 5 damage, resist 1 cold on second attack = 5 damage for a total of 10.

Cursing under his breath, Ralph runs 6 squares to the right and lets off an acid dart.

attack roll firing into melee hope I'm lucky...: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (7) - 4 = 3
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

At the start of the next round, Ash walks to the square 15ft right from the Yeti, drawing his longsword as part of his move, and takes a shot.

firing into melee: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 17
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Akinra, if the yeti has innate cold damage, there is a chance they have fire vulnerability? Do I know if they have fire vulnerability?

knowledge nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

No, they do not.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Err...Ralph, the fighter's on 1hp!

Akinra, you may want to update the map. Both Ralph and Ash moved.

Exiel moves to the South-East of the Corwin and attempts once more to burn the creature.

averting eyes: 1d100 ⇒ 47

will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

burning hands: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 3) + 4 = 16

Edit: And apparently accidentally looks into the eyes of the creature and is petrified by fear before he even moves...

Dammit this is what happens when I post from work... I don't think the yeti will KILL him this turn, and I will heal him next turn!

Akinra, was that will save mine? I forgot about it. Also, Ash will need one. Since we both have the same will save bonus, here's the roll for the other person.

will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Corwin's up, then Yeti, it seems. Hmm...much as I hate to say it, best option at this point may be to full defence whilst Exiel and Ash try to shoot it to death, since you have the best AC and it is focused on you- it needs to roll a 17+ to hit you if you do that, which is a reasonably low chance. I will heal you next turn so you're not going to die.

Alternative is to risk swinging at it, and hope it is on low enough on hp for you to kill it...

grumbles about yeti's and their attacks. I think defensive fighting is the best option here, I don't think +2 ac is worth a chance of knocking it out, closing my eyes will just grant it too many bonuses to its attack as well... Here goes.

oww!

Fighting defensive, i make a swing...

Same checks as before.

avert eyes: 1d100 ⇒ 81

if failed

will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

if successfully averting eyes
concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 40
attack: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10
damage: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Was going to take a 5ft step back, however last thing we need is a coup de grace on exiel, same thing with total defense, if i'm not threatening, yeti can just go up and kill him.

Coup de grace is a full round action. Exiel was relatively safe. I'm more worried about you at the moment. Also remember that he's an aasimar too, so he has cold resistance.

Ahhh, hmmm you are right. I was thinking standard. Hit and damage dice have been very, very much against me... Will see how it plays out...

Coup de grace is a full round action. Exiel was relatively safe. I'm more worried about you at the moment. Also remember that he's an aasimar too, so he has cold resistance.

16 damage was dealt, cold resist was taken off.

I was referring to Exiel also having cold resistance.

Also, I took over for seconding Ash from Kyra, and I acted on Ash's behalf. Please let us know whether he hit. It is the yeti's turn now, Akinra.

Ash's bullet grazes the yeti, leaving a scarlet streak along its arm as the beast once again tears into the fighter.

To Hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
To Hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

The yeti's wounded state coupled prevents his attacks from penetrating the fighter's armor.

Everyone shoot and run, if this thing is tired it might be best to have it run around!

If this this is fatigued like it appears, it can't charge. Might be best cast spells / shoot and move back so it can't hit us

I close my eyes using the withdraw action, 5ft southwest, then and additional 35ft west.

Now that Corwin has withdrawn, Ash and I no longer suffer penalties for firing into melee. Might as well take a shot first.

Ralph:
attack roll: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ash:
Attack roll: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Edit: Holy crap! Crit threat!? Confirming vs touch AC...
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
damage: 1d8 + 1d8 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) + (2) + (5) = 11

Edit again: Forgot to make our will saves
Ralph: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Ash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Edit yet again: Ok, so I probably failed my will save, but if that crit confirmed, we're solid!

Either way, if thingo is still alive, Ralph will move 30ft West, and Ash will go back behind the pot (he'd actually moved up previously).

Didn't you previously save already? I think you are good (Can't effect you twice)

Didn't you previously save already? I think you are good (Can't effect you twice)

Only if it is one of those 'if you save vs X you are immune for 24 hours' types. If so, even better. I'm not going to pass on extra 6 points of damage. =)

Unfortunately you never took the fatigue penalty for Ash (you as well?). only +4 to hit i think due to -2 dex penalty.

You also mentioned Ralph moving twice, i think one of them was supposed to be Asher

You're right, my bad. I clean forgot about the fatigue.

Have amended the post to reflect the fatigue. The crit will only confirm if the Yeti does not have a dex bonus...there's still some hope...

I should be able to survive 1 hit with my cold resistance...
Exiel stands his ground, attempting to avert his eyes whilst casting burning hands again.

averting eyes, succeed above 50: 1d100 ⇒ 44

Will save if necessary: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

burning hands damage: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 4) + 4 = 13

Edit: Oh come on! Grr....

Oops, you are right about the movement too. Will amend the post.

Exiel: Wow...the dice hate you...

Akinra: Yeti's turn now...unless it's dead?

it is a once/day event. However, if you have averted your eyes and avoided the need to save, the effect has not been saved against nor has it effected you...

The yeti crumbles to the ground, unconscious, but still breathing.

Not anymore...I acid-splash it till its dead...

Glad that's finally over...

From the looks of it, there's an open courtyard ahead of us. I'll send Lucien (my bird to do a fly-over to see if there's anything hostile-looking in the courtyard.

Akinra:Does my bird report anything?
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Ralph, pop an infernal-healing on Corwin?

Ralph casts infernal healing on Corwin, then goes over to the nearest door and listens at the door whilst waiting for the bird to return (take 20 for...20).

1 minute later, Corwin will be at full hp

Look around the area thoroughly, looking for treasure, books, maps...

There is nothing at all of value in the entry area.
The nearest door is the door to F5 Listening intently for a full minute convinces you no one is inside this room[/OOC]

The bird (which bird please? hawk, owl, thrush, toucan, raven all dome to mind as bird familiars. It is not on your linked character sheet.) reports nothing at all. Unless you send him indoors, which would be a great way to pick a new familiar! err... [/sarcasm]

I believe he's been using a thrush all this time. He chose it over a hawk because thrushes can actually talk.

If it seems that there's no one in that room, Ralph opens the door and takes a look inside. Assuming there's no hostile creature inside, Ralph and Ash will go inside and do a search inside

Ralph Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Ash Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Edit: Nice...good rolls

I'll go with Ralph. If we find nothing of interest, I go over to the door from F1 to F2 to listen, taking 20 for 27 total on perception.

Meanwhile I instruct my thrush to station himself on the far wall of F6 and call out (fly over the ceiling to F1 chirping loudly) if anything comes out from F3 or F4, or if he spots something he missed in F6 (I presume my thrush would have explained to me the layout of F6, so I can give him those instructions).

Ash and I will follow Exiel in searching the top room once we finish searching the bottom room, ASSUMING there are no enemies.

Same, following if to the next room.

So in summary (for Akinra's benefit):

1. The party searches F5 whilst Exiel's Thrush watches F6, especially the doors to F3 and F4, with instructions to warn the party if anything happens.

2.If there's nothing to fight in F5, Ralph and Ash score 20 and 23 on their perception to search F5.

3. If there was nothing to fight in F5, the party goes to F2 and listens at the door, taking 20 (scoring 27 through Ash and Cor).

4. If we detect nothing, the party enters and searches F2 as well. I suppose since Cor is looking for something, we'll take the time to take 20, for a score of 27.

Perception checks please at all locations for all party members present at any given location. Start with F1 moving to F5, then F5, then F5 moving to F6, and so on.

Akinra, the perception checks are as follows for the party:

F1 - Corwin took 20 for 27

F2 - Ralph rolled a 23 for the search

F6 - Exiel's Thrush taking 10 for 19, with instructions to warn the party if anything spotted

F5 - Ash taking 20 at the door for 27, if no enemies heard, enter and search taking 20 again for 27.

That sounds about right. though we should be VERY cautious about splitting up.

As you venture forth, you cannot take 10 or take 20. So, perception please.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 17

You are aligned according to the statements made regarding who is following who to the best of my understanding. As everyone stated they were following Exiel, he is in front. If you with to swap places with someone, just say so and I will modify the positioning accordingly.

Nah, too much trouble, I'll just roll with it.

Exiel does the following in order:

1. Close the door.

2. Move 5ft south, or 25ft south if he has a move action still

3. Cast Silent image behind the door, creating images of 4 stone elementals directly behind the door.

Also, he calls out to Ralph:

Another one, and it's bigger, coming towards us out the door. Get ready!

Ralph, go for the 10ft square just North of you. We'll start our plan from there. Better yet, if you can, move back, then ready an action to cast it just as the beastie steps out.
