Edmund is happy to stay inside the phalanx, and moves with the group.

With his bow nocked, Jokbur advances cautiously.

Moving ahead of the group, Qui carefully moves forward waiting to see if anything happens.

"Seems like we should be good to move on guys, the statues aren't moving..." Ariella says, relaxing her shield stance a bit.

The statues do not move as Qui and Jokbur move around

Jonas lets Ari lead their little formation forward after the scouts.

I'll go where she goes.

Qui moves forward and investigates the statues.

Will start clockwise from the one on the far left.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Jokbur follows.
Take 10 for 30 perception

Areilla will lead the phalanx after the scouts, following them at a twenty foot distance.

Quirmydt and Jokbur looks around and begin to poke around the statues when one of them animates and swipes at Quirmydt, but he manages to avoid the blow!

Surprise Round

Claw vs Quirmydt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 vs FF AC 17
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Round 1

Initiative Order - Quirmydt, Jonas, Hermann, Edmund, Ariella, Statue, Jokbur

Statue AC 16 T 12 FF 14

Qui chirps:
Ack, told ya something was here.

He immediately goes into his usual defensive fighting style and pokes at the stone thing with his scimitar.

Swift: Assume Crane Style -- AC26

Attack-scimitar: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 2 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Qui finds a chink in the stone monster's armor, but is not strong enough to exploit it.

Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

"A gargoyle!" Edmund says, almost excitedly. "Magic weapons will help."

"Ari, time to put that fancy new sword magic to work." Jonas said moving forward to support Qui, leaving enough room in front of him for his sister to engage. "Go for it, I'll keep it off you."

I can't seem to move myself on the map. Jonas moves to directly behind Qui. Ari should be able to get in on Qui's right. That lets me cover all of them with Bodyguard.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

If we picked an Enhancement to weapon attacks when we leveled up, does that count as Magic for the purposes of bypassing DR?

Jonas, it does not

This is where the magic weapon spell comes in handy!

Quirmydt strikes true, but cannot do anything to its hard rocky exterior.

Ariella, Hermann, and Edmund before the Gargoyle

Edmund lets fly with a pair of magic missiles: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8
Trip attempt: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Ariella dashes forward, moving up next to Qui. Her scimitar flashes as she sends a tendril of power up the blade. She slashes at the stone fiend, but fails to penetrate its rocky hide.

Attack (AS): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Miss

"You know," said Hermann aloud to no one in particular, "I think there's not a one of us who didn't expect one of those statues to come to life in this unholy blight!"

Unlimbering his spear as he moved up to attack position, he thrust at it to measure its guard.

Attack (longspear): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Hungry for frog legs, the gargoyle continues to attack Quirmydt

Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 *hit*
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Claw #1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Moved Jokbur from bottom of round 1 to top of Round 2 to make future rounds go smoother

Round 2

Initiative Order - Jokbur, Quirmydt, Jonas, Hermann, Edmund, Ariella, Statue

Gargoyle AC 16 T 12 FF 14

Rnd 2 Jokbur
The archer steps back and unloads two arrows sacrificing some accuracy for penetration.
hit DA/damage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 271d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
hit2/damage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 221d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Full attack after 5 step back--precise and pb shot

Not that it matters for these two shot, but does flurry of blows have a negative to hit to it yet at this level? And how do you get +8 Damage? I calculate +5 (But I may be missing something)

Jokbur heats the creature twice. Each shot is well placed, but only manages minor wounds on the creature (But it does wound it!)

Round 2

Feeling a bit more confident he had the measure of the thing, Hermann put all his might into a powerful spear-thrust.

Attack (longspear, Power Attack): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Such confidence, however, proved... ill-timed.

Ow, it hit me. Bad stone monster.

Qui continues to dance around making striking him as difficult as possible.

Fighting Defensive: AC26

Assuming that his tiny weapon is unlikely to penetrate the gargoyle's stony skin, Qui attempts to distract the creature.

Attack(aid another): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 2 = 19

If hit, +2 attack for Hermann on his next attack. (at least I think that is how aid another works).

Edmund throws a glob of acid.

Range touch attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 = 16; damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Bodyguard, DC 10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Adds +2 to Qui's AC against the attack that hit. Pretty sure that makes it miss.

Jonas puts his shield in the way of the dancing frog hoping to protect him from the Gargoyle, then swings again.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Ariella enters into her battle dance, whirling and twirling her blade about her in ever faster arcs. She sends another surge of crackling energy down the blade before lashing out at the Gargoyle with lightning speed. Her blade slices through the gargoyle's flesh as easily as if it were butter. "Ha!" Ariella taunts the beast, dancing back and forth in front of it.

Scimitar on Gargoyle (AS, BD): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24
Damage (magic): 1d6 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 15

If you want to aid someone, aid me, I get through its DR.

Jonas deflects the blow in time for Quirmydt to not get bit. Edmund's magic damages it slightly, while Ariella's magic infused sword slices through the gargoyle easily.

The gargoyle changes his mind on his target and attacks the woman who can get past its defenses landing a bite on Ariella.

Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 *Hit*
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Claw #1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Round 3

Initiative Order - Jokbur, Quirmydt, Jonas, Hermann, Edmund, Ariella, Statue

Gargoyle AC 16 T 12 FF 14

Round 3--JBur
Jokbur hopes to get lucky and hit a vital area.
hit/damage/hit/damage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 221d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 131d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
But his one accurate shot doesn't seem to do much.

Round 3

"What'n...!" exclaims Hermann after being clearly bested by Lady Ariella as she not only hit but wounded the thing!

Attack (longspear, Power Attack): 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 1 = 10

Privately ashamed, he tried again - his ego driving him to additional feats of strength.

"GAH!" he growled in frustrated humiliation.

Ariella slashes at the gargoyle again with her empowered blade.

Damage (magic, BD, AS): 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 12

Since the gargoyle is not ignoring him, Qui continues to attempt to distract the creature.

Attack(aid another): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 = 21 **HIT**
+2 to AC for Ariella

Attack me you stupid rock. What, not afraid of a little frog?

Edmund pings the creature with another glob of acid.
Touch attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 3 - 4 = 12
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Bodyguard DC 10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Ari gets +2 to her AC against the attack that hit. Hopefully it's enough.

"Don't worry about it Hermann, just keep it up!"

Jonas again moves his weapon in the way of the gargoyle's swing hoping to throw off its attack.

He vies for position to help Ari get another swing in.

Aid Another (attack, Ari), DC 10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Ari gets +2 to her next attack.

She was still hit that round with the +2 from Jonas

The gargoyle desperately wants to finish off Ariella and her painful attacks, but can only connect on its gore attack 6 Damage

Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Miss due to Qui's Aid Another
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Claw #1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Claw #2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Round 4

Initiative Order - Jokbur, Quirmydt, Jonas, Hermann, Edmund, Ariella, Statue

Gargoyle AC 16 T 12 FF 14

Jbur round 4
Not really able to do anything better, Jokbur tries to penetrate the gargoyle with harder, less accurate, shots.
hit/damage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
hit/damage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Both arrows hit, but the stone creature seems to avoid most of the damage.
"I need to get a skin of stone--I hear there is a spell for that!"

Bodyguard: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
+2 to Ari's AC. I know it will still hit, but Jonas doesn't know in the moment.

Jonas put his hand against his sister's back as she moved, letting Sarenrae's fire flow from him and seal her wounds.

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"Thanks bro!" Ariella mutters as she slices the gargoyle again with her crackling blade.

Attack (BD, AS): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18
Damage (BD, AS): 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 14

Qui continues to fight defensively, smiling as his blade just deflects the gargoyle's bite.

Rocks are not supposed to move stupid thing.

Fight Defensive: AC26
Attack(aid another): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 2 = 10 **not sure if Aid Another must hit, or just beat a 10**
+2 AC to Ariella if successful

Ariella slices through the beast once again, this time it crumbles into chunks of rock!

Combat Over

Behind where the gargoyle was sitting was its horde. Scattered coins worth a total of 27 gp, a gem valued at 500gp, a scroll in a scroll tub, and a vial.

Jonas grins happily at his sister. "Good work."

"For some reason it's so much easier now," she replies. "Sarenrae has truly blessed me."

Qui resumes his normal stance and looks at the pile of rubble that used to be the gargoyle.
The strange creatures in this place are astounding. It is as though some mad scientist decided to make a zoo of the chaotic and evil creatures of the land.

"That was impressive Ari." Jokbur notices his arrows are smashed and unrecoverable after hitting the gargoyle.

After the loot is secured, Jokbur and Qui lead off.
