Nodding as Vannevar signals a stop and indicates the presence of others, Akasha readies her blade.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Silian whispers to Akasha, "If we have a bottleneck, I'll encase them in shadows, or if they have archers, I will encase us." Silian holds another arrow at the ready and follows Akasha's lead.

Waiting for Akasha, then.

Weapon at the ready, Akasha leads the way up, light spell illuminating her free hand.

Akasha reaches the top and peers out, she immediately spots a total of seven people in the room. Two, a human male and an androgynous orc, are bound at the wrist and sit against the wall not to far from the staircase. Three ravers guard a door and they spot you immediately, two others are near the caved in back wall and have not yet spotted you.

Jonah and Tava, initially you see a human woman wielding a light spell and a sword peer into the room. She does not look anything like the insane barbarians holding you hostage, she looks clean, well kept... civilized. You'll see the others as they come up. You'll have to wait for them to say where they are.

I'm only showing Akasha on the map initially until she decides to move into the room, or Vannevar or Silian move passed her.

Ravers 4 and 5 were caught unaware, they are flatfooted.

Talk about walking into trouble

mumble grumble, psycho dice roller

Tava attempts to stealthy escape her bonds again.

And instead Superman's the chains. Lol

Tava makes short work of the ropes, but in so doing directly draws the attention of the nearest raver. :D

Crap..

If Silian has line of sight Silian opts to see how things play out and stepping up behind Akasha, fires an arrow into one of the ravers. G5

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
6 arrows

After firing his arrow, Silian slings his bow over his shoulder.

If Silian does not have line of sight, he will switch to his scimitar and wait.

Vannevar moves into position roughly I3 and swings at the nearest reaver Flatfooted, #5 at H2 but misses.

Greatsword 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage 2d5 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 3 = 10

Silian hits the raver with his arrow, momentarily distracting him from Tava.

Raver 5 returns swing at Vannevar, but likewise misses.
Warhammer 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Raver 1
Attempts to get a hold on Tava before Tava can regain footing and join the fray. Tava, you are considered Prone so you get a -4 AC against melee attacks, however this action does provoke an AoO from you.
Grapple 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Jonah struggles with his bonds, attempting to break free.

escape dc23: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
But all he manages to do is roll near Raver 1 and Tava

Punch to the FACE!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

punch: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Clearly out of sorts Tava swings a wild haymaker that misses by a mile.

Raver 4 moves to engage Vannevar, but Vannevar's luck holds as this raver also misses.
Warhammer 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Raver 3 swings her hammer at Akasha.
Warhammer 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Raver 2 also swings at Akasha. Akasha finds herself to be just as lucky.
Warhammer 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

That was some miraculously crappy rolls.

Easily sidestepping the clumsy swings Akasha's blade lashes out to cut one of the ravers

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Akasha catches the second raver with her blade, but the cut isn't nearly as deep as it could have been and it only seems to anger the barbarian.

R2
Tava, Silian, Vannevar, Raver 5, Raver 1, Jonah, Raver 4, Raver 3, Raver 2, Akasha

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

In spite of her tremendous strength and skill, Tava is unable to (roll well) escape her captor.

Silian switches to his scimitar and hacks at the raver to his left.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Silian calls out in Common to the two members of the room not frothing at the mouth. "Greenskin, Round-ears, are you friends of these savages?"

Not bloodly likely Jonah responds, while holding his bound hands up. If we were, I doubt we would have been restrained.

"Well then try to stay alive and we will sort this out momentarily."

Well, we will try, but do try to hurry.

Silian, "his left", raver 2 then?

Sure, why not?

Vannevar attacks the same raver as before #5, this slashing deeply across his chest.

Greatsword 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3) + 3 = 10

I just realized on the previous attack I made a typo in the dice roll, using d5 instead of d6 for damage, lame. At least it didn't happen at a time where the attack actually hit, lol.

Raver 5 bellows in pain, a crazed look coming across his face after Vannevar's attack Rage. He swings his warhammer at Vannevar with all his might, but the swing goes wide.

Warhammer 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Raver 1 continues to grapple and then tries to punch Tava.
Grapple 1d20 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 5 = 18
Unarmed attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

As the hammer smashes into her she can feel her ribs crack. Coughing up blood, Akasha desperately calls up her last spell, using all her focus not to leave herself open to attack she unleashes a burst of swirling colored light blasting as many of the raving lunatics as possible.

Step back to H3, Blasting 1,2 and 3 with Color spray
Concentration check (DC 17): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Raver 4 occupies H3, I'm assuming you meant G3? And also guessing that was meant to be a 5 foot step?

Continues to try and escape the captor.

Silian brings his scimitar down against the raver he has been fighting 2 I believe.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Vannevar sneers and slashes out at the enraged raver once more #5.
Greatsword 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10

Tava is able to break the hold that the Stone Keeper has on her.

Silian's scimitar puts a swift end to the raver's life.

Raver 5 swings back at Vannevar, but fails to hit him.
Warhammer 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Raver 1 attempts to gives up on trying to keep a hold of Tava and instead draws a warhammer and takes a swing. The hammer connects with Tava and knocks her unconscious. You're at 0 hp now, I believe?

Jonah, now at the pile of weapons, pulls a dagger out of the pile and attempts to use it to cut the bonds.

escape: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Only to almost cut himself with the dagger.

I right now don't want to channel, as it will heal the bad guys as well.

And I accidently saved a different map over the map for this campaign so it's gone now. I really don't want to have to remake the damn thing, is it OK with everyone if we just use what we have up until this point?

Raver 4 swings at Vannevar, knocking Vannevar unconscious HP-1/13.
Warhammer 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

I need everyone to sound off on their HP, please!

HP 9/9

you can see on my tagline, I will try to keep up to date.
I with the RNG hate I suffer, I doubt I could break the ropes, but will start my full round action to attempt to cut the ropes, if you are willing to go that way.

You are the only person I know who doesn't say dice roller.

well, it is a random number generator, thus RNG. :)

4/11 hp

As she sees allies begin to fall, Akasha plunges her blade into the lunatic before her, trying to keep her eyes on all the enemies before her.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Confirm
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Akasha severely injures the man, but he still stands.
