Elven team in Campaign Elves vs Dwarves -- Dwarves and Gnomes Keep Out (Inactive)

Game Master Chainmail

Sorry talons but I'm taking care of this for you. Talons fort save..... 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Seltyn will move 5' and try to jump the water. 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

He moves closer to his buddies.

If one of you were taller, you could run right up to the ratman and attack. MAP

Sorry if I'm posting out of order. This is the time I have to post.

Azlain continued to try to push forward and clear the way for the others.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Suny swings at her rat again.

Att Roll:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Dam Roll:1d8 ⇒ 8

Bump

Lianelda to go. Seltyn can full move through the cloud making the fort and will save. There is only a ten foot wide entrance into the rat nest.

Seltyn went through the cloud and made the save last round. He's just looking for a clear way to go.

MAP

All the rats in front of you fall from the combined fury of arrows, blades, and magic. Spider attempts a surprise dagger throw at the ratman causing a severe wound. 1d20 ⇒ 141d4 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + (3, 5) = 11 The ratman disengages from Wil, and retreats through the wall. AoO for Wil.

Another ratman joins the first on the platform and they fire at Lianelda from concealment but their shots are wideon the platform. They pull back from the platform and seem to be scurrying to find another spot.

Known/hidden1d20 ⇒ 31d20 ⇒ 51d8 ⇒ 51d8 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + (2, 1) = 4

Oops! The rattie on'a platform to go!

"Hey! Come back here ye lil' todger!" Suny calls after the fleeing foe, even as she carefully picks her bare foot way across the rubble/wreckage/detritus covered floor.

So...slow move actions to get closer to the Ratties shooting position.

AoO w/Longsword - FD -Attempt at Nonlethal damage 1d20 + 3 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 - 2 - 4 = 5

Wil never intended to stab the enemy in the back and tried to hit the ratman with the flat of his blade. The combination of defensive fighting made his attempt an extremely poor one and as his blade rattled off the stone sewer wall his query made its escape.

With the way clear Azlain concentrates on moving through to a place where he can climb up to the ledge.

Good to have you back hopefully everything is going alright for ya Azlain? :(

Is the map updated or not? I will post my actions once I know~ Thanks ^^

As you approach the wall, you notice you have gradually fought your way to higher ground. On the other side of the wall is a 10' drop to another channel of murky water and a large pile of varying remains on the other side. In this pile can be seen pieces of broken weapons as well as the occasional glint of a gold piece or helmet.

You glimpse a huge rat in the pile. This queen rat has the mass of an ogre. Two rats guard her.

No wonder nobody wants to go down there!

I'm mostly back on track. Life is throwing lots of curveballs lately. Thanks.

The masked elf looked down the channel and could only sigh. Sheathing his long blade and drawing his bow, he looked up for targets.

Round 1, Ini 7

AC: 24

SA: Attack w/Longsword -FD @ Rat P-121d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 2 = 15

Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

MA: 5ft Step to Q-13

Wil dodged the monstrous rats attack as he side stepped and slashed at its approaching spawn. He kept his shield up and thank the gods for the healing from the priestess as he was afraid his own ability would be taxed heavily by this new creature. "Keep it up lads we have them, press the attack. I will hold here." Fighting defensively Wil left the way open for everyone's ranged strikes, while simultaneously threatening the creature with his close proximity. This is gonna be rough...

Can I do a swift action on my enemies turn, say in response to taking damage? The RAW states most swift actions are like free actions which can be taken at almost any time. My idea is as he fights if say he get hit by both rats, and takes enough damage to warrant a Lay on hands, which is a swift action when paladins cast it on themselves, he could theoretically heal himself before the Queen rat strikes, thus avoiding being knocked out too soon. Please let me know what your decision is on that Chainmail. As it would make an effective tanking strategy if I could heal while taking damage on the enemies turn. Thanks!

Talon pulls a thunderstone out and sends it flying in the middle of the two rats and the queen, the hope being to stun and deafen them all

Touch attack against AC 5 to throw the stone to that location with enough force

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Rat Queen and the two rats need to make FORT saves with DC 15.

FALL BACK, let us not be surrounded once more. FALL BACK I SAY

The exploding thunderstone made Wil nearly jump out of his skin and barely caught himself from falling over the edge and onto Spider. Talon's cries made him look wildly about for what force was surrounding them. When he saw nothing he turned back to face his opponent and mumbled to Spider. "What is surrounding us?!"

That is all the talking I will be doing until next round...

Will Save:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13

Suny continues to stand by Wilaml's side and swing at the rats.

Att Rol:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12(+2 if flanking)

Dam Rol:1d8 ⇒ 8

Well...if'n I could connect with th' critters. :P

Big creature in front of us, with a few little creatures, its the same damn situation as killed Talon the first time that he died when playing him in 3.5 edition. In all honesty though, these are the sewers and it just seems like something is a little too good to be true when we find her so suddenly. My spider sense is tingling

Seltyn moves to n-15, and seeing the rats, casts glitterdust, centered to catch both rats and the big one. DC 17 will save or be blinded for 1 round.

MAP

ALL THE STATUS EFFECTS IN THE WORLD!!!!!!

Between the 2, something should stick...lol

Azlain fires his bow at the smaller rat in front of Talon, all of a sudden wishing he hadn't switched weapons.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Will moves over the trash pile to make room for Suny and the huge rat bites and holds Wil in her teeth and another misses him with a bite. Wil and Suny have their attacks fail to penetrate rat hide.

You are up Talon

Talon! Get to the other side of the door and fire at the big one! Suny! Hit a rat and run back! I need the doorway open to blast it!

Talon will have line of sight. Suny will take an AO or 2, but we're not hurting anything right now, as it is.

Map

Okay so Wil was at 17 hp. he Took 10 so he went down to 7 and Lin came and healed him for 7. Since the rat initiated a Grapple. Unless I missed something but when a grapple is initiated then they both gain the grappled condition, losing the ability to use AoO's and Wil wasn't out cold yet when lin tried to heal him.

Talon raises his bow, his gut twisting as Wil hung in the Massive rats Jaws. I knew this was gonna get ugly! "Oneshot looks like we need to aid our new brother, as foolish as he is!"

Move to P13

SA: Attack Rate Queen with bow 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 1 + 1 = 17

Damage 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 13

Crit Confirm:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Bugger....

Seltyn moves one square, looking for a shot.

The rat is huge. It dodges a nasty shot from TalonTalon doesn't have precise shot, and squeals in a high pitched scream. The scream of many little rates crawling in the refuse behing the channel echo their queeen's call. Setlyn has a shot, but Wil is being jerked back and forth by the nasty rat. The queen rat is engaged with Will.

Wil is at -3 hp from MAX I should have said. And 10-7 was 3 and not two--my math was off.

Suny can touch Wil (assume him touch AC 10)

Is Suny close enough to grab/touch Wilaml?

Or would she need a kind of 'Reflex Save' to get a hold of him?

In that case, he'll risk a scorching ray at -4. We gotta hurt this thing!

Ranged touch attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 1) + 1 = 13

So much for that idea. Don't think I've ever played a more useless character...

Lianelda seems to have dropped, so her fall was orchestrated. Wil notes the rat is not completely concentrating on him -- CMB for the grapple is 13.

*Waves hand* Can I touch Wil?

Azlain grits his teeth, casting his now aside as the woman he'd told he would protect fell to the enormous rat. Drawing his blade again he roars, moves forward and takes a more direct approach to the fight.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

I feel you Seltyn. This fight has been intensely frustrating so far.

I find evoking gets fun at level 5. It is getting there that is the test of patience.

On paper, he's not bad. He just rolls craptacular dice...lol

Wil struggles mightily to break the rat Queens hold. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 He gripped her mouth with his gloved hand and pried her teeth off of him and slipped out of her maw before she could clamp down again. As he took up his former position he focused on healing himself, soothing away the rat queens attack.

1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Hp 17/17 uses Left 4/6

He recovers his sword and lashes out at the nearest Rat while fighting defensively again.

SA: Attack w/ Longsword - FD... Rats... lol 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 2 = 5

As it turns out, I do have internet, so will be able to post as normal. Thanks for bearing with me guys.

Next turn around

Remain in position, assuming that it means I can see the Rat Queen.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Once more a single of arrow flys from Oneshot at Talon's hand, a certain united purpose felt by them both, and the arrow striking deep into her skin.

Suny, I can't shoot straight with you in the way, watch out!

Suny tries to both get out of the way, but still be in a position to help with flanking..and the stabbing.

On her round:Att Roll:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Dam Roll:1d8 ⇒ 3

Or...possibly more just waving her sword around...(-_-)

All the rats including the queen try to get Suny but miss.
Rat1/rat2/queen 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Spider 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 172d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

The human rogue launches a bottle of naptha directly hitting the queen and splashing the rats and Lianelda. Talon sinks an arrow into the queen and she shrieks in pain, her screams echoed by little ratlings throughout the nest.

Round 2
Queen 16
rats 15
Spider 14 hit Queen
Talon 11 hit Queen
Suny 10 <----
Wil 7
Seltyn 6
Azlain 4

Um...why's I bein' pointed at? *Scratches head* Din't I post whut I were gon'a be doin' in me round? Or is it come full tilt agin an' we's gettin' another go?

*Shrug*

Suny continues to swing her sword, taking a move as she needs the better to get within striking distance.

Att Roll:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Dam Roll:1d8 ⇒ 4

And...seems to pretty much just continue to wave her blade about....(-_-)

Heck, with a natural '1', she's probably thrown it some where. (¬_¬)

As the flames licked at Lianelda Wil looked torn, he was a healer and a warrior. His newest ally was downed and being harmed by a foe he seemed unable to harm. With a roar of rage he struggled across the uneven heaps of refuge between him and the monstrous rat queen.

MA: Move to

Smite Evil (1/day - 0 Remaining) (Su) +3 to hit, +2 to damage, +3 deflection bonus to AC when used.

Damage would be 18 and AC 26
AC Currently is 24 before the Smite Evil, as Wil is Still fighting defensively.

Nicely done there Wil, beautiful smiting.

Talon draws his bow fully once more, whilst Wil's huge swings seemed to have hurt the beast, that it was still moving was indicative of the same kind of power as he had faced down in that crocodile in the Jungle. He was stronger now than he was then, and seeing the ineffectual swings of some of his allies only strengthened his resolve to bring them home safely by killing this thing as quickly as is possible.

Noticing the rats however, there seemed to be a greater priority. If the smaller rats were killed, then Suny could move out of the way, thus Spider and Seltyn would be able to move into positions of power.

Shrugging off the big kill for the moment, he turns his attentions to the smaller rats, firing with all the speed that he can muster.

Suny, I need you to make a small step to the side damn it, otherwise I run the risk of impaling you on an arrow.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Aiming for the rat right in front of Suny, hopefully its struck dead. Would hate to think otherwise just how much damage these things can take
