Oloch moves as quickly as possible toward the Halfling.

double move. Are the squares with pebbles or small rocks in them difficult terrain?

@Oloch: Let's go with 'no.'

The halfling remains silent as he pulls back his bowstring and levels an arrow at Oloch's midsection.

Vs. Oloch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

A scowl betrays his silence as you get the sense that the archer is certainly frustrated. He hops down to the level below, scurrying behind the cliff for a bit of cover.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Ulisha continues inspiring courage, and moves to hang closer to the group.

Up Next: Everyone

... Well, Hakon might be making a fool of himself, or if it works, a man of action. Cue high flinging viking.

Hearing the little halfling beginning to flee, Hakon takes up the chase. He bolts to the edge of the cliff and jumps down to the boulder to land near the halfling. "Grah!"

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Double Move to get to location on the map. Used Acrobatics to jump down to the boulder. Unless I can go farther, but I don't think I can with that roll. >.<

A 15 lands you on your feet. Feel free to take your full movement.

Yoon sighs sharply and talks to Gom-Gom, Little man is trying to get away, we gotta get him before he gets big Oloch! and runs after the halfling.

Double Move

Oloch chases after the Halfling sniper, trying to keep up with the sure-footed rogue while he is dressed in more cumbersome armor.

Double move, trying to close the gap

Did go full movement. That was a double move of 60ft to that point.

Unless you'll allow me to run instead, but I don't see that being a good idea. >.>

Kyra moves over to Mavaro and tries to heal his wounds.

"Sarenrae heal my ally so we may win this day."

CLW spell: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Mavaro thanks Kyra for healing him, then slings a stone at the archer, missing widely.

sling: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The sling stone flies 2-hole over the halfling. He begins circle-strafing Hakon, firing an arrow into his side at the end of his movement.

v. Hakon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Ulisha remains inspiring, despite her gallows humor, and double moves to a more optimal position.

Up Next: Everyone!

Yoon runs around the rock, spotting the halfling. An evil glint flashes in her eye as she gathers up fire in her hand and launches it at the assassin.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Hakon grunts as the arrow pierces his side. "Damn it, that stings."

He growls as he hops down off the rock and swings his axes at the Halfling.

Handaxe Attack + Bless + Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 5

Handaxe Damage + Inspire Courage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

And here is the second.

Handaxe Attack + Bless + Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 8

Handaxe Damage + Inspire Courage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

And both go over the halfling's head. Wow... The Skald is doing pitiful now. >.<

GM, Oloch wants to hop down that small cliff and move next to Hakon. How would I go about doing that? Acrobatics check? How much movement would it cost?

DC 15 to land on your feet, take no damage, and consider each square 5 feet of movement. Failure ends your move action where you land.

OK, here goes nothing...

Oloch leaps down from the height, moving toward the Halfling sniper.

Acrobatics (DC 15): 1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 5 = 0

And he crashes in a heap on the ground.

Golf clap

Wanting to avoid Oloch's fate, Mavaro sticks to slinging stones at the archer assassin.

sling: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Hakon gets his hacks in but makes no purchase. Yoon and Mavaro's projectiles each sail wide. Oloch deals 1d6 ⇒ 2 damage to the ground by throwing himself at it (and to himself, as per Newton's Third Law) (If you have a move action remaining, you can return to your feet.)

Up Next: Kyra!

Since I still have a move action left:

Unfazed by his graceless landing, Oloch regains his footing. He looks at the Halfling and growls, baring a tusk.

Kyra moves around the big rock while trying to get near to the injured Hakon.

The troublesome halfling attempts to put some distance between Hakon and himself, before trying to put the injured Ulfen down.

Acrobatics v. Hakon's CMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Shortbow v. Hakon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

The arrow flies wide!

Ulisha continues inspiration, and casts cure light wounds on Mavaro to top him off. "Don't let the Ulfen have all of the fun," she wryly remarks.

Up Next:Everyone!

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Yoon, the invincibility of youth strongly in her brain, takes a running leap off of the cliff to chase down the halfling...

...and lands flat on her face. She pushes herself up, tears of pain and anger in her eyes as she brushes some of the dirt off of her.

Too close!

Hakon glances behind him and see both Oloch and Yoon perform swan dives into the dirt. He smirks, but then an arrow shoots fast past his head. Growling again, he turns back to the Halfling.

Bastard. He thinks of a way to stop the halfling from fleeing. Then it comes to him. He is using a bow! I can just walk around him!

He moves around to the far side of the halfling and swings a single axe towards it. "You're not going anywhere!"

Handaxe Attack + Bless + Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 21

Handaxe Damage + Inspire Courage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Hakon connects! The halfling seems to sport a similar wound to your own, considering the blood and bruising.

Still to go:Kyra, Mavaro, Oloch.

"By Sarenrae's light i wish everyone would stop getting hurt! Well if everyone else is doing it..." says Kyra under her breath.

She then tries drop down the cliff as safely as possible.

acrobatics: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18 GO KYRA!

"Praise Sarenrae, and let her healing light cover my allies!"

Kyra channels energy ignoring the single enemy.

channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Mavaro feels invigorated by the healing and opens fire with his sling again.

sling: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Mavaro's sling bullet strikes the halfling on one of the studs of his leather armor, creating a very audible "ping." The halfling doesn't seem affected.

Close!

Up Next: Oloch

Oloch moves as fast as he is able to the halfling's position. Unfortunately, his armor is heavy and he can't quite get in an attack, though he is able to set up an advantageous flanking position with Hakon.

Undaunted, the halfling continues to to his best to dance away from Hakon and Oloch.

Acrobatics v. Oloch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Acrobatics v. Hakon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Seeing Kyra presenting a holy symbol and wounds visibly close, the halfling decides she should be job #1 (and wishes he had known that sooner).

Shortbow v. Kyra: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

His arrow lodges itself in a gap in Kyra's armor.

"If all of your friends were jumping off a cliff..." Ulisha trails off as she hits the ground with a thud.

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Dusting herself off, she stands up.

Up Next: Everyone!

Hakon trudges along, following the halfling and going around to the other side to aid in flanking.

"You. Will. Not. Get. Away!" He barks out as he swings an axe towards the halfling.

Handaxe Attack + Bless + Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 10 Well... That is most likely a miss. >.>

Hakon looks towards Oloch and shouts. "Just charge the runt, Oloch!"

Yoon takes off sprinting, trying to cut off the halfling's possible escape to the south and shouting, we're close now, Gom-Gom! All of us are gonna stop him! Unless he surrenders!

Full-round action to Run 55ft

Arrrrrrrr! Oloch roars as he charges the little cretin.

attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 17

damage: 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5) + 6 + 1 = 16

Bless is still up, duration 1 minute, Bless fills your allies with courage. Each ally gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects

With a mighty swing, the halfing is reduced to two half-halflings!

Combat over. Noncombat update tomorrow sometime.

"Gather up close everyone so that Sarenrae's healing light can fix us all up."

channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 1

and again.

channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ulisha will happily assist with healing, identification of magic items, and application of sardonic wit.

"I appreciate the warning. But I have a sneaking suspicion the Vessels Between aren't through with me. The good news, is I found out who hired the guild- -a friend of the Tullivors who goes by the name of Anwald- -apparently I'm an 'Enemy of the People of Galt.' Seems kind of odd to me, since I was pilfering from the aristocracy, but let's not get into semantics."

Ulisha looks up to see reactions before continuing.

"I want to sell this to pay him off," she say, producing a silvery sickle. "Silverhex is why you're here, right?"

"The sickle certainly was why Smine sent us to find you, though I doubt he knew how much travelling around we would need to do. You're quite a hard person to track down Ulisha! We had a small run in with a lady by the name of Rhiannon Sarvio. If all the noble types in this land are like her then I can understand how you could get in to trouble with one of them."

Hakon shrugs when Ulisha names a noble from Galt. "Bah. All those Galtain folks are nuts. Might be a better idea to buy passage down south with the money."

He grumbles a bit before nodding in agreement with Kyra. "Aye, just what she said. Smine mentioned that, that sickle of yours is rather powerful. Some sort of Druidic relic or something." He shrugs. "But, I think we should get this over with. If it is as you say, there will be more cowards coming once they realize they know those two failed."

Mavaro smiles in relief as they fend off the assassins.

"It appears we have completed our tasks...is there anything left to accomplish here?"

"Rhiannon?" Ulisha raises an eyebrow to Kyra. "The Sarvio runt? Yeah, she's probably not happy that I worked for a rival family and stole from hers. Even though her family paid me to steal from the Tullivors. Both the Tullivors and the Sarvios have enough to feed an entire River Kingdom on table scraps alone. You could finance an orphanage on items resting in their thrice-damned coffins." She spits on the ground, scoffing. "Or pay off a group of assassins."

Wait, so both families paid you to steal from each other? Yoon says, looking incredulous, and you took both of their coins?

"Pretty slimy deal on both of their parts, but it was a pretty sweet setup for me. It's always nice to profit from making a profit, young one," Ulisha says, with a wide smile. "The Tullivors paid me to steal from the Sarvios. The Sarvios paid me to steal from the Tullivors. Once things got a little too tense, I split, though. I prefer my head where it is, and wherever the final blades are not. The real irony is that this friend of the Tullivors- -a friend of the nobility!- -has claimed I am an enemy of the Red Revolution. I'm hoping this Anwald fellow is as reasonable as the lot of them- -maybe a bit of gold will convince him to back off."

Oloch admires the silvered sickle. It is a shame to be forced to sell such a fine weapon to pay off this coward.

Ulisha nods to Oloch.

"You could try and talk some sense into Anwald," she suggests, mixing malice and concern in her tone. "For obvious reasons, I would prefer to stay in hiding. I can offer you some supplies, if that's the route you wish to take."

Ulisha shrugs, before continuing. "Hell, convince him to call off his dogs and you can have the sickle for free," she says, tapping Silverhex.

Yoon giggles evily at Ulisha's suggestion of "talk." We're not very good at talking, but we can threaten, can't we Gom-Gom?

"If talking to this Anwald could potentially fix this for you then i think it's at least worth a try."

Looking at the finely made sickle, Oloch adds, Yes, if we can fix this by talking sense to Anwald and , um, keep the sickle in the process then I am all for talking to Anwald.

"The lout is probably still in Daggermark. I imagine once he finds out the assassins were turned away, he'll look for more. Shouldn't be too hard to find."

Woohoo! We're gonna pretend to be assassins! Yoon shouts, turning and skipping back towards Daggermark.

"Let's go look for him, then," Mavaro nods.

A quick jaunt back into Daggermark, and 1d4 ⇒ 1 hour of canvassing the city leads you to a small pub where a man meeting Anwald's description is not touching a rabbit cutlet or its accompanying ale. He seems impatient, and you notice him look up each time anyone enters the establishment- -it's obviously he's waiting for someone, and that contact is late.

How would you like to approach him? He does not appear to pay much mind to you- -people come and go in Daggermark all of the time.
