Combat! Round 3 Init 10-8
Init: ... Draeven: 21 R | Asvig: 19 | Helva: 18 | Kenan: 17R | Fenra: 14 | Uther: 10 | Bjarke: 10 | Rennyn: 9 | Warriors: 8 | Jeryn: 2 |

The big man's words shake the hall and frighten the thralls half to death. The seated warriors however look to one another, some smirking others either looking impressed at the size of Stein's pair or just drunk enough to not care - Stein doesn't sign their checks, Asvig does. A few seconds later the opposite end of the hall sparkles to life.
Stunned might be one word to describe Asvig's reaction to Draeven's challenge, however the oracle's enchantments prevent the chieftain from responding. Amidst the sphere of sparkling lights, several of Asvig's men and the man himself stop what they are doing, held captive by the display. Helva is not fooled though shouting, Traitor! Kill them all! and the room bursts into life. Bjarke steps to protect his chief, grabbing the man by the arm and shaking. Thralls scatter, making for anywhere they can as tankards and tables spill to the ground. Behind Draeven, two warriors draw their battle axes as they move to stop him (G15 to H14,F15 to G12 MA + SA) their swings coming within inches of the big man's form.

Opposite Rennyn and Fenra, three warriors spring into action (B11,B12,B8 MA to E9,E10,E8 | Readied Action Triggered, Rennyn Init:9) and Rennyn's katana flashes cutting into the arm of one of them. The warriors raise their battle axes swinging for heads; two swing wide however the third warrior's strikes close enough to home, forcing Fenra into a difficult position (Straining an ankle?).

Elsewhere in the hall, the other warriors stir. Their reactions dulled by ale they fumble with their weapons and fight with their chairs.

Spells used: Murderous Command, Hypnotic Patter x2 | Fenra: 9 Strain | Map Updated

Fenra moved 4 squares closer (to F,5) to Asvig and cast color spray not hypnotic pattern. This only catches the guy that was in F,2 and the guy in H,4. If she wants to move 5 squares instead she can catch F,1 as well without provoking AoO. I don't see a good way to target Asvig with a 15' cone. (If she does retcon to 5 squares, then Jeryn will move the web back 1 intersection to miss her.

If I had been aware of your ruling on intimidate, I wouldn't have attempted it. As such please retcon Draeven's SA to readied action to attack the first foe that approaches instead.

readied attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
confirm crit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 fail
damage: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (4, 6) + 13 = 23
...should kill G,13 guy.

Please put Kenan into G,10 as you didn't have coordinates turned on the map last post, and I could not specify exact location.

Jeryn enters the hall (MA to G,11) and casts a spell filling the far end of the hall with a giant mass of sticky webbing. (SA cast web centered on E/F,0/1 intersection)

Is Asvig not in H3? Why would colour spray not hit him? Looking at the cone patterns it should hit G2, H2, G3, H3, G1. So it would only hit the three people in H3, H2, G2. Yes I would move to F4 as that is what is needed. There were no coordinates on the map before so I wasn't being precise enough. Also as it's colour spray, unless they have HD of at least 8 before the -5 they will be unconscious for 2d4 rounds, no shaking them out of it.

Asvig is in H,1 I believe.

Sorry about the grid thing, no one mentioned earlier so my sloppiness remained. Intimidating an entire room with one roll is broken and am surprised you didn't see this as a problem. I won't be retconing this but will use Draeven's roll for Round 4. Both Color Spray and Hypnotic Pattern use colors as an effect, as I was fooled by your codes I will let Fenra cast Hypnotic Pattern in place of Hold Person - HP seems to work out better anyways, doesn't it? Adjusted Fenra's and Kenan's positions and moved warriors to fit actions.

Making a dramatic appearance, Jeryn rolls through the door (yes, the rolling helps) finishing in superb casting position. The wizard holds up a fragment of spider web and speaks arcane words through the strands. Seconds later a large web fills the end of the hall trapping nearly everyone inside (Green Halos | Fenra please make a reflex save DC17), only the red haired woman and one of the warriors at her side seems to be unhindered.

Draeven's sword arcs a bloody response to the warriors daring to attack him, dropping one instantly. Seeing there is truth to the big man's threats, the second warrior's eyes widen with fear, or is that cowardness?

Within the webbing, the tall blonde haired Asvig is completely incapacitated however coming around, shaking off the affects of Fenra's spell. Beside him, the woman begins the esoteric gestures of a spell (Kenan Readied Action triggered). Kenan's arrow is loosed finding a gap in the web of defenses set up against such a thing. The red haired witch finishes her spell and points her finger towards 'Stein'. The big man feels an immense weight settle upon him (Draeven Will Save DC15 please or succombe to sleep).

Spells used: Murderous Command(F), Hypnotic Patter x2(F), Web(J) | Fenra: 9 Strain | Map Updated

For what good reason would you deny my retcon?

Fenra cast color spray. I'm not sure what hold person has to do with this. She moved up to cast color spray. If you are forcefully retconning her actions to hypnotic pattern, why move her forward? She doesn't need move closer to cast that. She definitely doesn't' need to move 5 squares. Either way I already accounted for both of Fenra's possible forward positions in Jeryn's web casting. She does not end up in the web. No save required.

If Draeven's retcon is not allowed then there was a warrior in place to AoO Jeryn as he entered the room.

Helva took 11 damage, and her AC is 17 with mage armor active.

Slumber hex has a range of 30'. Draeven is out of range. Sleep is a 1 round casting, and, she failed her concentration check already then.

Fine. Can we continue?

Jeryn tumbles in avoiding the dead man's AoO. The warrior next to Draeven explodes in blood. Colors fill the eyes of those standing in front of the curtain and fall down unconscious. The warriors seated at the tables spring forth, one of them managing to avoid entangling himself in his own chair and threatens Fenra as two more warriors appear from a storage room to the north (H4, B13, C15 retcon 3rd round action: MAs+SA)| Uther will direct his actions towards cutting himself free.)

I need to see what Kenan does before I post. Is G4 standing on the table or on the far side of it, from my perspective?

Round 4 Init 17

Kenan's hands become a blur as he draws, nocks, and sends three arrows streaking at one of the men (@ E,5) surrounding Fenra... (Ki point used for extra flurry attack)

Seeing Fenra in some measure of peril, Rennyn calls out to her in celestial, Move back to us!

Suggesting withdraw but you do you! :)

Fenra steps back and calls the protective stars around her.

5' step, coat of many stars. I would withdraw but would still take the attacks of opportunity anyway but at an ac of 12 instead of 16.

The monk's bow hums and Fenra takes a step away from her attackers. As one of those threatening the oracle succumbs to his wounds, she begins her conjuration provoking a violent response. Axe blades swing from behind and in front of her yet none do more than threaten the air around her.
Within the wizard's tangle of webs one of the figures struggles to free himself sending vibrations throughout the lattice of strands.

Coat of Many Stars (Ex) is an extraordinary ability and therefore does not provoke AoO when used. Those rolls can be for their turn.

What is this "web ruling"? Is it a house rule you are adding? If so, it is poor form to do so in the middle of combat without warning players beforehand that you are changing how a spell works.

Round 4 Init 11

Rennyn's katana flashes out at the man in front of him...
SA attack @ E,10: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

...removing his head cleanly, sending it rolling across the floor as the body slumps to the floor, blood spurting everywhere.

We warned you, Rennyn states coldly as he stalks closer to those around Fenra. (MA to F,6)

Status and Effects:
AC: 19 HP 32

I'm not complaining, but what gives you +24 to damage?! I want it! And I definitely checked that there would be no AoO before using coat of many stars.

Double damage from confirmed crit. :)

As usual my grasp of the rules is laughable. As a result I failed my Fort save on Friday, took 1d6 of Con damage and am just getting back on my feet.
Rennyn's Katana does 1d8+6 damage. Double damage on criticals should be 2d8+12, shouldn't it?

Those who are able join the fray. Two warriors stumble around their table turning their weapons upon Kenan with little to show for their efforts. From the north door, a pair cross the room to threaten Draeven and Jeryn, each pressing upon the wizard and heavy weight in grave fashion. From the tables at the back, a few of the warriors navigate their way around furniture to make their way across the room. Two take swings at Rennyn as another two turn their axes on Fenra forcing the paladin and oracle to struggle. (AoO from Fenra)

Power attack (two-handed) adds +6 (+4 x 1.5 = 6) for a total of +12. Doubled is +24.

Rennyn moved to F,6 on his turn.

Draeven has DR/2 so only 5 points of strain.

Typically you don't get to "cut corners" when moving around solid objects (ie walls and tables). For example from B4 to C5. You would need to move B4 to B5 and then C5. Also, if they are moving over/through furniture (tables and/or squares with chairs in them) it should likely count as difficult terrain, reducing how far they can get in one round and still attack.

Fenra is unarmed but smashes her fist into whomever she has the AoO against
unarmed attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
possible crit!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

She then steps between the tables G6. Assume this is not cutting a corner as there is someone in the adjacent square apparently not? standing on the table and lets a cascade of colour wash over the men in front of her.

Colour Spray cast defensively DC17

cast defensively: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

While her punch connects solidly the man on the table? kicks a tankard into her and the spell fizzles.

If you’re unarmed, you don’t normally threaten any squares and thus can’t make attacks of opportunity. And attacking unarmed provokes AoO, something Fenra probably doesn't want to do. Too bad, as you could have used that 20 on your concentration check. :P

Besides, you should probably wait for Chris to adjust things (which is what I am waiting for) and for Jeryn, Draeven and Kenan to go. Things might change drastically before we get to your turn.

Adjusted warriors to move around obstacles. Attacks vs. Fenra retconed to throwing axes. Attack vs. Rennyn retconed to throwing axe. Reduced Draeven by 2 points of strain. Fenra should repost actions for Round 5

F8 adjusted att. Throwing axe damage to Rennyn: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

H0 CMB DC17: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 2 = 13

The warrior (D4) retcon'd to throwing his ax at Fenra would have missed due to cover (+4 AC), throwing into melee (-4 to hit) and his to hit modifier being lower for ranged (+2) rather than melee (+5).

Round 4 Init 2

Jeryn, seeing Fenra in a tight spot, calmly stands where he is and casts another spell...
cast defensively DC 19: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 success

And he hasn't even raged yet...

Are we waiting on... me? Are Asvig and Helva down and out?

I was waiting to see if Fenra will repost/adjust her actions and yes Asvig and Helva are enthralled by the colorful lights.

It isn't Fenra's turn yet.

Round 5 Init 17

Kenan steps back from those closest to him (5' step to F,11) and looses three more arrows... (Ki point used for extra flurry attack)

Now it is her turn. You might want to update the map for her as a bunch has changed. And you have two saves to make for the guys over the pit.

For previous turn I would obviously not do the unarmed attack but will take the same movement to G6 and it will just be too bad about the fizzled spell.

Fenra, seeing Rennyn carve his way toward her, waits for him to (hopefully) remove the only other person directly threatening her.

Delay until after Rennyn

Your spell hasnt fizzled. You had already taken your round 4 action. The warriors come after you and triggered the AoO, though not really as you dont threaten unarmed.

To avoid such confusion I would suggest adding round #s to your posts in the future.

Another warrior spontaneously explodes in front of Draeven. Kenan's arrows puncture another warrior's chest spilling the Ulfen's blood and sending it seeping into the floor. With the wizard's last arcane word uttered a magical pit appears sending one of the warriors disappearing into its depths while another bounds away. Within the webbing, Bjarke manages to free himself of the sticky strands - what he will do next is anyone's guess.

I wouldn't mind if you removed the dead from the map. :)

Round 4 action was 5'step to G6 and cast colour spray with a failed concentration check. So spell fizzled and I am standing in the square you are trying to move into in round 5. Round 5 was delay until after you.

I see I did coat of many stars round 4 so those actions are taken after and are not allowed yet. So That whole last bit shouldn't have happened. I will pretend nothing happened and do round 5 now as there was one good and one bad roll.

Round 5

Fenra moves out of range of the pit's edge,MA to F7, provoking AoO and focuses on the two men across the table, a burst of colour sprays from her finger tips.

Colour spray against D7,8; DC17 will save; -5HD when calculating effect.

Shifting his elven eyes away from the battle, Rennyn searches the layers of webbing for Asvig. The man is standing limply as marionette whose strings have gone limp and his eyes are closed. The aura is decidedly evil, but the elf's seen worse offenders.
Across the hall, the warrior having just successfully avoided the pit tries his luck again making to jump over the table and chairs. In doing so however he misjudges the tables height and comes crashing down into the chairs one the other side. His companion has better luck negotiating the course. (D3 MA to B3, C3 MA to B6) Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Fenra's tactical retreat goes as planned, successfully avoiding any perils and blasting the two warriors with her colors. The two warriors drop. Without a close target, the warrior turns his attention to the paladin but his axe swing comes up just short of forcing the elf to move in his own defense.

Fenra waits for a foe to either slip past her comrades or for the woman to become a threat.

Delay until it looks like she will be attacked or Helva becomes conscious. Once Helva becomes conscious but is still blinded/stunned she will cast hold person on her. If it looks like an attacker is going to reach her it will be colour spray instead. Just so you know I am quite low on spells, only 1 second level and 2 first, because as far as I recall we came here straight from the last attack by the assassins and I used a hold person, cure moderate, and three cure lights then.

Seeing the room suddenly riddled with their fallen comrades and their leader hung out to dry, those remaining lose their drive to show up the interlopers. One by one, they drop their weapons and raise their hands in surrender.

END COMBAT

Rennyn and Draeven order the disarmed men to sit in a cluster in the middle of the room while gather up the dropped weapons and tossing them into the far end of the hall.

The thralls are allowed to sit at the tables along the side wall.

Jeryn and Kenan keep watch over everyone, bow in hand and spell components handy, ready to take on anyone who doesn't follow orders. They pay extra special attention to Asvig and Helva.

After securing those outside the web, Rennyn and Draeven move to secure those within it. They cut out and secure each man and woman, leaving Asvig and Helva for last.

Once the rest are under control, they move on Asvig and Helva...

The Chieftain's Farm

Despite scowls from those who'd just watched their comrades murdered (Hehehehe) the warriors are complacent with your commands.
None yet understand why the group has crashed their party and as many seem eager to answer any questions. Quiet pleas to escape pass some of the lips of trembling thralls, many wishing to leave this place to far more happier locals yet they too obey. As for Asvig and Helva, it is some time before the affects of Fenra's spells wear off leaving the group to man handle their limp forms into position.

No one has rested yet | Spells used: Hypnotic Patter (F), Murderous Command(F), Color Spray (F), Cloak of Stars(F), Web(J), Create Pit(J) | Fenra: 9+9 Strain | Jeryn: 8+1 Strain | Draeven: 5+5 Strain | Rennyn: 0 Strain | Is there need of a map for this?

Rennyn assures the thralls that no harm will come to them as the group secures the warriors weapons. Asvig and Helva are stripped of weaponsamd belongings and bound with their hands behind their backs while seated on the floor.

Once everything is arranged, Rennyn speaks to the assembled group. Your master is responsible for an attack on our caravan a few days ago. We have come seeking answers and retribution. We are also looking for a man seized against his will and reportedly held here. Cooperate with us and receive mercy. Oppose or deceive us, and receive judgment.

Where is Ulf Gormundr?

To whom are you addressing your questions?

The warriors in the room scowl, a couple muttering some vulgarity questioning Rennyn's origin of birth, but no one offers a reply.

At the moment? The captured warriors. I am assuming that Asvig and Helva are still incapacitated as you have not indicated they are conscious, nor have they have spoken up.

Rennyn sighs. Have it your way.

Draeven strides over to the offending warriors and strikes one of the mutterers with the back of his hand...
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
damage: 1d3 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 non-lethal
...viciously knocking the man's head back before doing the same to the other...
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
damage: 2d3 + 16 ⇒ (1, 2) + 16 = 19 non-lethal
...knocking him out cold.

Anyone else wish to talk s***? the big man growls. You better start answering his questions!

Draeven's rough treatment does not help. Although defeated, the warriors are either too stubborn to talk, not ready to talk or too loyal to Asvig to saying anything that may jeopardize their solidarity.

Putting a calming hand on Draeven's shoulder Fenra speaks. I think they know nothing Draeven. Remember, the ones who attacked us committed suicide when captured. They were under a very strong, evil compulsion spell. I doubt these warriors know anything about what Asvig does under the witch's command or they would be enraged at his lack of regard for them and their brethren.

Fenra speaks with a with tone of sympathy and regret and the unnecessarily lost lives.

Be sure the witch is gagged and blindfolded as well as tightly tied. We don't want everyone here suddenly bashing their heads in on the tables and floor.

She turns to see if everyone is well in hand. If nobody wants to volunteer any information at this point...No matter, there are only so many places to keep someone at this farm. I will just look around.

Fenra goes to recover her morningstar from wherever it was stashed and searches the farm.

I don't know whether you want a bluff check. The story is more or less true. And holy cow! You used up some mighty nice rolls slapping some peons around :)
