Chretien, Angus

Cretien's Turn
Cretien takes a 5ft step back and then moves closer to the rest of the RHC and Nevard. his move is: diagonal-down-right, down 3 squares, left. Should avoid AoOs, but since i did a move, the 5ft wasn't free so that's all he can do.

Anugs' Turn

Angus will attack with his Longsword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 the skelleton right next to him and then will move (up to 20ft taking an Aoo possibly) in order to get closer to the Skyseer Nivard using his hands of Retribution ability (that will inflict 3pts of fire damage) to the Jaguard that just wounded Nivard

Can we get a new link for the map on this page?

Round 4

Sarya, Falko

MAP

With the skyseer behind us I will take the fight to the Hounds he says ready to engage them

[spoiler=On Falko's Turn]
Taking a deep breath, Falko fights every single cell in his body and moves forward to engage the deadly dead jaguar of death.

"Father... You know." he says as he skips forward, rapier pointing towards the jaguar, aiming for the beast's face.

Rapier, Luck round 1: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 241d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

Sarya aims again for a jaguar...

attack1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

damage2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

I specifically moved such that no AoOs would be provoked unless they have reach...

You can make a 5ft step with no A.o.o but you wanted to move 15 feet, which you are not allowed to do without taking an A.o.o.... "You can move 5 feet in any round when you don't perform any other kind of movement. Taking this 5-foot step never provokes an attack of opportunity. You can't take more than one 5-foot step in a round, and you can't take a 5-foot step in the same round that you move any distance." My interpretation of the rules is, to do what you wanted with no A.o.o would require and acrobatics check.

It'd just be the withdraw action instead of a 5' step + moving, I think

yeah, i guess it would be a withdraw action. I thought withdraw had to be in a straight line, which is why i said 5ft step and move action. however, looking at the rules, you can withdraw without moving in a straight line, and you cant 5ft+move (even though that makes no sense). I said the wrong thing, but what i did is still possible under the rules. lemme know how you want to adjudicate it.

i thought you could take a 5ft step in the same turn as a move, but the 5ft step just wasnt free (essentially costing you a move action to move only 5ft and not provoke). i guess that, plus my thought that withdraw had to be in a straight line, are either vestiges of 3.5 or memories of homerules that i got too used to elsewhere

We'll just call it a withdraw action and nullify the damage... i think it is just charging and running where it needs to be straight. So you can put the 8pts back on your character.

Sarya hits the jaguar with her blast on the stage.

Falko moves forward and finishes it off.

attack1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

damage2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

Glancing hastily to Nevard as he approaches in the fray, Johnathan's fear eases. He faces down the jaguars again with renewed spirit.

"Protect the Skyseer!" he shouts above the fray.

Don't you have to make a concentration check because you are in melee? either way you take an A.o.o

Skeleton A.o.o against Sarya 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 miss

Falko's blood freezes as he watches the battle unfold, genuinely scared for the Skyseer: "Protect Nevard! Protect the Skyseer! Converge on the imminent threats!" he shouts as he tries to direct his companions and the policemen.

Then he notices the jaguar closing in on Nevard and Johnathan: "No..." then starts running parallel to the jaguar and directly towards the berline parked nearby, thus avoiding the skeletons, but not the sheer drop as he jumps off the stage, once more, arms and legs flailing in the air for balance.

Acrobatics if needed: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Double move, directly south, then west, to put myself between Nevard and the incoming jaguar. If a single move is enough, Falko conjures a thick coat of grease in front of him.

Ouch! If Falko crashes and can't use his second move, he'll conjure the grease to slow down the attackers.

I am on it Falko, i'll hold these two Jaguar other here while you guys deal with the rest of them

Sarya hits the disabled jaguar and kills him.

Falko on his way off the stage and falls flat on his face taking 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8 falling damage.

Angus

Did I get a standard action to either get on my feet or gast Grease?

Standing up is a full round action. I rolled the concentration check to cast grease but because of the falling damage you couldn't concentrate... sorry refer to post #2927

I had read it. I just didn't know that falling damage wasn't instantaneous. I also didn't know that standing was a full round. Thanks :)

Having been wounded by the creature and needing to make a stand Angus fought with bravery and display of skill while fighting defensively

PA Longsword: 1d20 + 7 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 4 - 1 = 201d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

This is bad! This is bad! curses Falko as he gets slashed mightily by the skeleton, after having his teeth knocked off by the plaza's pavement.

He wants to get up, but he knows it will spell his demise, so he rolls and stabs at the skeleton with his rapier.

Dad! I need a little help here!!

Rapier, Prone, Luck round 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 171d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

Falko rolls and twists on his side, and manage to get through the skeleton's guard, but what his stab offers in panache, it lacks in momentum...

He then looks around to find Nevard, but it's hard from one foot above ground. When he finally spots him on the stage, he loses it and shouts like a madman: "By the Elements! Nevard! Don't you see the crowd is running AWAY?!? What can we say: The Bleaking JAGUARS have stolen the show! Now could you just try and help us to keep YOU alive!?!"

Sarya misses and takes an A.o.o 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 miss

The skyseer touch means you can pick that d20 that nevard rolled and use that for one of your rolls later on. Not terribly useful when the skyseer rolls low though.
