John [spoiler] Your avatar is on the map where you are. You just climbed out of the hole. But you are not near everyone else.[/ooc]
Chretien hits the bear twice.
The bear 5ft steps forward crushes Rognar 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 and attacks Javier 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 miss
Bear 2 runs toward where it smells others.
Party

Dr. Kortemir Runemace |

Dr. Runemace takes a 5' step back North from the bear and takes the full round action to reload his cane-pistol; he likes to take his time with the paper cartridge and tamp the ball down correctly (don't want no malfunctions...)

Having taken a mere 5’ step last round, and yet found himself in front somehow, a very bad place for a squishy wizard, Femi withdraws to the corner of the tunnel.

Dr. Kortemir Runemace |

Round 2
Without Precise Shot, Dr. Runemace declines to fire into the scrum.
Instead he takes another 5' step back and tries to see if an ally in sight is injured enough for treatment.
Heal check: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

*John Lang* |

Having returned to the maze, John took a moment to listen for the sounds of the group, or the sounds of combat.
Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Not really hearing anything, John began probing the ground in front of him for trap doors with the end of his staff while moving north, then returning back south after discovering the dead ends.
As a general rule, John will be moving half speed, since he's going to be probing the ground with his staff looking for trap doors while holding onto the hedgemaze wall to help prevent him from falling in. He will also look around a corner before walking around it, since he knows there are guardians protecting the maze.

Kort You can see that Rognar is injured, however he is in the grasp of the bears claws.
Rognar attempts to escape 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 fail
Javier full attacks the bear 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 hit 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 hit 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 bringing down the bear.
Round 4

Order: Chretien, First Wave, Second Wave, Javier, John, Kort, Femi, Third Wave, Rognar.
Chretien

Cretien Dufrene |

can i move north to the corner without going in the pit?

Cretien Dufrene |

Cretien moves to the north, up to the corner, slowly at times as he must hold on to the hedge. readied action, shoot any enemies in sight

*John Lang* |

Having checked north, John moves south to the T Junction and the goes to the east.
Still going half speed prodding for pit traps with my staff.

Javier Delgado |

Javier will move past the pit trap holding against one of the hedge (taking 1 damage like Chretien I imagine), then see what's past the angle if he can get there in time. He will keep his eyes well open in case he notices any sign of anothe trap.

Euphemia 'Femi' Ferka |

Femi too will move with the others (taking the 1hp damage) and watching their rear.

Cretien Dufrene |

Cretien sets up his turret.

*John Lang* |

Upon seeing the bear, John focused his Hyponotic Gaze on it, then cast Anticipate Thoughts, hiding his casting as he normally did.
DC 18 Will Save, and he has a -4 penalty on the save.

Femi advances with the others down the hallway, though if he can see the bear coming around the corner, he’ll also toss a force missile at it to try and scare it off - though he doesn’t really think it’ll work…
Force Missile: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Cretien Dufrene |

ready action to shoot, turret will also shoot when i shoot

wow, how deliciously improbable :|

*John Lang* |

Can I see it? If so then I'll do my action as listed. If not, I'll just start moving east.

*John Lang* |

Ya, I just have to be able to see it.

Will Save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 fail The bear near John failed his Will save.
As the bear jumps to attack Rognar Chretien fires as well as his turret misses.
Bear attack 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15and misses Rognar.
Bear moves to attack John 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 crit 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 no 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 grab attempt 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 success
Bears move closer to the party.
I figured it would be just easier to put all of the bears under the same initiative.
Party

*John Lang* |

Keep in mind that with Hypnotic stare the bear has a -4 penalty to grapple me.

*John Lang* |

Gotcha.

Javier Delgado |

Javier will study the bear with Mimicry, so that he can transform into an animal if needed be, using a spell point to make it a swift action
Then I guess that there isn't too much else he can do for now, so he will just full attack the bear in the pool of grease.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 if Hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 if Hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Femi, upon seeing the bear, will tag it with a force missile. ”How many bears do you think there are?” he idly asks, watching their rear for more.

Dr. Kortemir Runemace |

Round 6
Dr. Runemace took aim at the bear grappling John, but desisted with a snort of disgust as he realized he wasn't trained to fire into melee.
Instead he tried to monitor John's health; trying to see if he needed to run up and heal him.
Heal Check: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

*John Lang* |

GMEDWIN, when you get a chance, could you please pin the map link somewhere? I know you linked it like 4 pages ago, but I can't seem to find it. Thank you in advance.

Euphemia 'Femi' Ferka |

It's always in my header too John. I always link the latest map there, so you can just scan for Femi and grab it.

*John Lang* |

I missed that. Thanks!

Cretien Dufrene |

It's always in my header too John. I always link the latest map there, so you can just scan for Femi and grab it.
yeah i keep it in mine too, i dont like to scroll far.

GMEDWIN |

I have decided to punt on this particular puzzle/combat scenario. It has bogged down and well it probably works better at a table than pbp. This is not really a question whether you beat it but a question o when. I hope you do not mind.
Eventually, your group defeats the bears and make it to the end of the maze and you can tell the Bruse is very impressed by your exploits. He stands and says, "The representative of the Risuri RHC have earned an audience with your Bruse!"
He then turns to the party, pulls out his pocket watch and says, "Meet me in my court in the hour."
The large minotaur turns and is followed by his advisers. Lya Jierre and her minions move to what you guess is her quarters.

Dr. Kortemir Runemace |

Dr. Runemace breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well then, thank goodness that's done. Is anyone in need of medical attention?" He asked, looking around at his companions.
Heal check: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

*John Lang* |

When the group finally reunites, it's pretty clear that John has been mauled a bit by a bear. I've taken 12.
