Silian spits, "Filthy damnable curs. Burn them. Burn them all." Silian's eyes glare with hatred, and his fingers flex involuntarily. With a gesture and a spoken work, Silian's hand is engulfed in flame. produce flame

"Twice be-damned-by-Shadow Ghallanda mutts. Blink dogs. They are crafty, and have the ability to phase in and out of location. Crush their bones, lest these mongrels maintain a shred of their living ability. Whether they be raised from death, I'll not leave this room til all the bones of these stray filth are powder."

Lianna follows in when she sees Akasha's glove light up, still a little dazed from the Allips mental attack though dutifully keeping her composure. She turns towards Silian at his outburst with a raised brow "Well someone has a deep seated psychosis."

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Balthazar, you already made a Nature roll for this and you don't have History as a trained skill, all knowledge skills are trained only. But otherwise, YAY a buttload of rolls :D Thanks, love.

Balthazar's bomb lands amongst the bones, exploding and sending flaming bits to nestle in amongst the rubble and a second skeleton nearby. In response, the canine remains move eerily as one, as only well trained dogs... or soldiers are wont to do. Sitting up, empty eye sockets lock onto the group huddled around the doorway.

You get a surprise round.

Balthazar tosses another bomb towards the growling dogs muttering the whole time. "Why are we even in this tower again?"

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Splash Damage: 4

Which dog are you aiming at, or are you aiming at a grid cross-section?

Ralph

With a snarl, Silian launches the ball of flame from his hand at the same skeleton the gnome tossed a bomb towards.

Ranged Touch Attack against Ralph

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Burn, cur!"

Demise shoots a crossbow bolt at one of the bad guys.

Ranged Light crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Demise, I need to know which creature you are targeting in specific, please and thank you sir.

Between Silian and Balthazar, Ralph is already looking worse for the wear but you are quite sure he still has fight left in him.

Last call for surprise round actions.

Whichever appears the most damaged. 1?

Susie-Q rushes forward soundlessly and snaps her jaws at Balthazar.

Bosramir holds his ground, still feeling out of sorts from his encounter with the Allip and unable to yet see the enemy.

Balthazar grimaces as the dogs bite shocks him out of his momentary forgetfulness, takes a step back 5 foot step to H4 and drinks an extract. Shield extract, +4 to AC making it 20.

Demise shoots another crossbow bolt at rat one.
Ranged Light crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Demise' bolt flies past the dog's skeleton before it lunges forward to bite Balthazar who has moved directly into its line of sight.

Akasha steps forward, launching an ineffective strike at the other skeleton.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"I'll bet these wouldn't be here if you didn't have some sort of complex with them!" Lianna says flinging an elemental ray at Susie-Q.

ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
cold damage if it hits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Silian's only answer is a snarl as the magenta flames dissipate from his fingers. Gripping his scimitar he moves forward to bring it down towards the skeleton's skull.

Scimitar attack vs Ralph: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Vannevar moves into place behind Silian and fires his crossbow at the dog attacking Balthazar, Ralph, but his bolt does not find its home in the skeleton.

Crossbow 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Those of you who didn't give me map locations for movements into melee range, I've moved you. If you don't like where you're at, let me know.
Map

Akasha and Silian attempt to hack away at the skeletal dogs but the nimble creatures make it hard to land a blow, meanwhile Lianna attempts to work her magics but her spell fizzles out. Vannevar fires his crossbolt to no avail. Things are looking grim for Balthazar, as his companions attempts to aid him have all failed.

Suise-Q lunges at Akasha, teeth ready to rend flesh but misses her entirely.

Silian seems blinded by hatred, ignoring most of what is happening behind and around him, his eyes fixated on the skeletal hounds before him.

Bosramir holds his ground, bottlenecked as the group is.

Balthazar drinks a reduce person extract.

Which provokes an attack of opportunity and raises his AC to 22.

Waiting on Demise.

Well that's a morbid statement lol

Well yeah, now that you point it out!

Demise lets loose another bolt at Ralph, but once again misses his mark.
Crossbow 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage 1d8 ⇒ 6

Ralph once again lashes out at Balthazar.

Map hasn't changed from last posting.

"^@^&@#!!" Akasha shouts in frustration as her blade harmlessly passes between the undead dog's ribs.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Balthazar wobbles on his feet for a moment before falling to the ground bleeding from the dog bite wounds.

Silian attacks the skeletal creature relentlessly, swinging his scimitar like a man possessed.

Scimitar vs Ralph: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

If Lianna's action would take away the target, he will turn his anger towards the other one.

Vannevar takes aim once more and looses another bolt. His brow furrows in frustration as he sees his failure to hit the target once more.
Crossbow 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I'll wait for Lianna until the morning.

Heal Skill DC 15 to stabilize: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"Sssswap placesss with me Lianna." Demise swaps places with Lianna and stabilizes his downed companion.

Lianna tries another elemental ray at Susie-Q.
Elemental Ray 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Demise changing places with Lianna will not get you to Balthazar as there is a wall between the two. You'll need to enter the room, the door is at Silian's location.

Susie-Q makes a ghostly yelping sound as Lianna's spell hits her. She shakes her head before attacking Silian who would have had to move forward to make his previous attack even though he never listed the move action, and it should have incurred an AoO but whatever.
Bite 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 1

Bosramir now seeing an opening moves into the room and engages Susie-Q, but is unable to land his blow.
Earthbreaker 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 6) + 3 = 13
I hope I got his numbers right, his sheet is laid out kinda oddly.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Demise steps up behind Silian and fires a bolt at Dog One.

Demise' bolt fails to hit it's target.

Notified Balthazar that it's his turn, if he hasn't posted yet when I check again later I'll move on.

Balthazar continues to lie on the ground, not moving.

You need to roll for stabilization while you're laying there on the ground not moving :P

Stabilize: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 2 = 21

Are you f~++ing kidding me. 20 on a stabilize. Great.

Hey, I'm sure you would have rather had that on an attack, but it's not a horrible thing to have on a stabilize roll either.

Ralph wastes no time moving on to the next standing enemy in the room, snapping his skeletal jaws at Silian.

"@%&*# this $#!+" Akasha yells, dropping her sword and drawing her mace. She focuses, a glow flickering over her weapon as she strikes.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Bludgeoning
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Drop sword (free action), drew mace (move action gives up AoO). Spend 1 pt arcane pool for +1 (swift action) Attack

Akasha, I never got a movement from you earlier so the map still shows you as outside of the room. The wall is between you and Bosramir, the door is between Silian and Demise. You'll need to enter the room to make an attack with anything but a ranged weapon/spell. My apologies.

I thought I'd posted a movement last round. Ok well, nix the attack (and the AoO. I'll switch weapons and move to stand in front of Blathazar's body

only thing I find was you saying you stepped forward , again, wall. When I asked for location clarifications, I wasn't given a response from anyone. I am willing to relocate you as a part of your previous action, but you will take an AoO. Unless I over looked something?

That's fine, couldn't see the wall.

Silian stumbles for a moment, trying to ignore the blood pooling from the gaping wound in his leg, bringing his scimitar once more down to bear on the bony blink dog before him.

Scimitar vs Ralph: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

AoO against Akasha 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 4

Akasha is now in a flanking position with Silian. However, both her and his attack still failed to land with the +2 flanking provides. The square Akasha is in isn't a fully opened space but I'm DM and I say she can be there either way. Bite me :P

"Why is it that the dead never seem to be able to STAY that way in these circumstances?" Lianna asks in an annoyed voice flinging another elemental ray at Ralph on the word 'stay'.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Cold damage if it hits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
