Kinshasa spurs Kokina toward the tent. double move

Torgat, that spell will finish with your standard action next round, since you moved.

Kinshasa is not up yet, but I'll leave his action as is.

Clearly having been seen, the woman fires twice at Darven. For some reason, he appears to have drawn her ire.

bow, RS: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 13 - 2 = 30 arrow: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8
bow, RS: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 13 - 2 = 29 arrow: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

Two arrows enter the body of the half-elf, causing a great deal of pain! Unless something happens soon, Darven wonders if he'll be fighting for long.

Gerekk is/are up!

Garekk stands there, amazed by what has happened. (Delay)

Torgat hears a shrill cry, followed by a hawk flying in from above the tents, attacking.
talon vs AC12: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Torgat, I need a DC12 concentration check, or you lose the spell

Kinshasa moves up towards the tent.

"Quit filling me with arrows!" Darven yells as he expends another healing spell.

Oracle CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Torgat tries to shield himself from the hawk's attack without missing a step of his summoning spell.

Concentration DC 12: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Whew! Substantive post to follow in a few hours after I get home from work.

Meiomi hears Torgat's grunt as a bird strikes him, and steps back to take a shot.
Deadeye bowman shot: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Darven, get some cover, or we're going to have to heal you all over again! You aren't some silly pincushion!

With a roar, Garekk charges forward towards the disappearing sniper. "Enough with the poison and hiding! Come down and fight, you coward!"

With a sigh of relief, Torgat finishes his spell by ringing a small bell.

"That is a handsome hawk, lady, but I was not named Eaglecaller for my raptor imitations!"

I'm not clear on whether Torgat's movement last round means he gets only a standard action this round, or only a move action. If he can take a standard action, he goes into total defense. If he can only take a move action, he draws his club.

With a pop of displaced air and the scent of the clear blue sky on a fine summer's day, a celestial eagle appears over the tents in the marketplace. Shrieking her hunting cry, the eagle rockets towards the archer.

Just enough fly speed to get there!

The eagle strikes at the enemy archer with her powerful beak, smiting evil as she does.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

With a sigh of relief, Torgat finishes his spell by ringing a small bell.

move only, so you draw your club!

Darven will take his move action to go behind some cover and go prone.

"Good idea Meiomi! I keep getting shot!" he says has he dives off to the side.

And we're back!

The woman is wounded by the eagle, but still remains.
Garekk charges forward as Meiomi misses the well protected archer. Darven takes cover, as he seems to be the primary target!

The woman changes targets, stepping back to shoot at the eagle.
PBS, RS: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 27 damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11

The eagle disappears in a puff of feathers. Her second shot is at the charging Garekk!

bow, RS vs AC15: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 27 damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

Garrek takes an arrow to the shoulder, which smarts quite a bit, but does not incapacitate him, yet.

Gerekk is/are up!

[dice=PBS, RS]1d20+11+1-2 [dice=damage]1d8+2+1

The eagle disappears in a puff of feathers.

"What? No!"

Once again, Torgat suffers the pain of being a level 1 wizard as his last spell for the day is unceremoniously snuffed out and the celestial eagle returns to its native plane.

"AHG!" Garekk cries out as the arrow sinks home. Without breaking stride, he reaches up and breaks the shaft of the arrow off and keeps moving towards the woman.

As he moves, he unlimbers his bow and tries to fire off an arrow at the woman. Cursing in disappointment as the arrow flies wide, he steps sideways into the tent beside him, looking for some cover.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Not sure if its allowed, so consider it flavor if not. However, I was thinking Garekk could take a 5 ft into the tent beside him or use the "stuff" as some kind of cover after he fires the arrow.

Unfortunately you cannot take a 5' step after you move

Garekk fires an arrow up at the woman, but fails.

Then, the hawk attacks Torgat once more!
hawk hover DC15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

bite vs AC12: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 1d4 ⇒ 4
talon vs AC12: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 1d4 ⇒ 4

At this point, the orcish blooded conjurer's heritage kicks in, and he is still standing!
talon vs AC12: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 1d4 ⇒ 2

Torgat still stands, but he is bleeding his life's blood onto the paving stones.

Torgat can take an AOO with his club as the bird moves into his space

Kinshasa, Torgat, Trex, Meiomi, and Darven are is/are up!
Universal Adjustments:
Universal Conditions:

Darven takes his standard action to whip everyone else into a frenzy,"Someone just get her already before we go back to the lodge as swiss cheese in a box!"

Everyone receives +2 Dex (+1 AC).

He then spends a move action pulling out a wand of Cure Light Wounds from his backpack.

Kinshasa and Kokina rush up to the tent running 3 times her normal speed

EH.. brainfart. My bad!

My previous shot was at the bird attacking Torgat. My next attack is again going at that bird that has him gushing blood. Dropping bow and drawing sword while moving.
Meiomi yells at Torgat, DUCK! as she steps up and takes a swing at the bird.
Meiomi vs bird: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Darven, I hope you have some fancy tricks for raising orcs from the dead. Torgat isn't looking too hot. I'll try distracting the bird while you keep us all alive, deal?

This is why I had Torgat draw his club, although I hadn't intended him to be bleeding to death when he used it.

Almost as a reflex, Torgat raises his club as the hawk swoops in to rake at his face once again. Just as he feels the cold, sharp points of the bird's claws dig into his face, he swings wildly, trying to knock the hawk away from him.

Club, AoO: 1d20 ⇒ 141d6 ⇒ 4

Torgat's turn. He accepts the benefits of Darven's raging song with a tired nod.

The hawk rips away a hand-sized hunk of flesh and muscle from Torgat's face. The pain is nearly blinding, but breeze is cool on the raw exposed muscle of his jaw, and the warm, wet sensation spreading from his neck to his shoulder and down into his shirt warns him that he only has seconds left before he collapses.

The young wizard staggers back a few feet, not realizing that by doing so he has lost what poor cover the tent provided from their rooftop assailant. Feebly, he raises his club and points it at the hawk, and silently pushes with his mind.

Meiomi and Trex get a whiff of a nostril-burning stench, and a stream of greenish liquid arcs from a point in the air near the end of Torgat's club towards the bloody bird of prey.

Acid Dart, ranged touch attack, Inspired Rage: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 1 = 161d6 ⇒ 6

Before the acid has even reached its target, Torgat collapses unconscious to the ground, blood pumping furiously from the gaping wound on his face.

My previous shot was at the bird attacking Torgat. My next attack is again going at that bird that has him gushing blood. Dropping bow and drawing sword while moving.

Sorry, I know I was rushing a little to get posts in before I left last week. This is corrected.

Torgat smacks the hawk with his club, but this is not enough to drop her. That being said, the bird has definitely seen better days.

Kinshasa and Kokina rush up (losing DEX to AC for running)

Meiomi tries to shoot the bird, but fails.

Torgat steps back, and uses his wizardly abilities to splash acid all over the hawk, who falls to the ground next to the half-orc.

Trex takes vengeance on the bird, shredding it.

Parini then fires upon Garekk, her nearest target. One of her arrows misses, but the other finds its mark.
bow, PBS, RS vs AC15: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 14 arrow: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 9
bow, PBS, RS vs AC15: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 31 arrow: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 9

Kinshasa, Garekk are is/are up!

Kinshasa whirls his sling around his head then launches a shot at the enemy on the tent.

Sling: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

He then moves up to the tent.

As Kinshasa misses, he and Garekk ponder climbing up the tent to get to her perch. Garekk thinks he can do it, but it won't be easy.

Torgat stabilize DC14: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Torgat stops bleeding out as he lays on the ground next to his club and the dying hawk. Trex tries to comfort his master, and casts guidance on Meiomi.

Garekk, Meimi, Darven are is/are up!

Universal Conditions:

Darven taps the wand of healing to himself, causing some of his wounds to close up. He then stands back up, ready to get back into the fight.

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"I'm coming Torgat, stay with us!"

Continue raging song as a free action.

Hawk is upside down? Does that mean it's down?Because if it isn't I'll finish it, if it is, I'm going after the main event....

The hawk is totally down. Go get the archer!

Meiomi takes off down the street toward the archer, hoping by the time that she gets there the archer is off the roof and that she didn't make a mistake leaving her bow in the dirt....
I'm coming, try to shove her off the roof, always worked against me...

"This is going to kill us all trying to do it this way!" Garekk exclaims as he looks at the tent. He thinks he can find a way up.. and dropping his bow he gives it a try. He moves between the tents and climbs on top of a barrel before trying to pull himself to the top of the tent.

Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

If there is still a standard action allowed after climbing, he will attack. Attack, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 1 = 23
Dmg: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9
Crit?: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 1 = 7

Torgat’s inherent hardiness - a gift from his orcish ancestors that he has rarely given a second thought - takes over as he lies unconscious in the dirt. His bleeding slows to a trickle, and then stops. His breathing is still labored, his pulse uneven, but the wizard is at least out of immediate danger.

"This is going to kill us all trying to do it this way!" Garekk exclaims as he looks at the tent. He thinks he can find a way up.. and dropping his bow he gives it a try. He moves between the tents and climbs on top of a barrel before trying to pull himself to the top of the tent.

It is 20' up. You climb at 1/4 movement, and have to have your hands free. You are at the top. with your blade out as you clamber up, but no attack.

Darven heals himself, as Meiomi rushes forward, ready to climb up the tent. Garekk climbs all the way up, looking eye to eye with the archer.

Adjusted Garekk into a legal square.

Parini drops her bow, and pulls out a greataxe. "Die, you... worshiper" She swings hard into Garekk with the axe. Luckily for Garekk, her blow goes wide.
Axe, PA, FE vs AC15: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 + 2 = 8

Kinshasa, Garekk, Meimi, Darven are is/are up!

Universal Conditions:

Meiomi rushes forward, panting a bit. She eyes the bows that have been dropped, considering. I should just pick up a bow and shoot at her, won't be much better than me hacking at her... Either that or figure out a way to bring the tent down... but Garekk is up there... damn.

Kokina has a climb speed of 20. What would be your ruling for me to ride her to the top of the tent?

Garekk laboriously makes it to the top, just to barely dodge the womans ax as it swings at him. He curses as he draws his own great sword.
"ENOUGH!!!" he roars. "Lay down your weapon, and you may yet survive!!" With these words, he follows through with his threat.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 1 = 6

Unfortunately, his own reply matches hers!

Darven runs across the street, gaining cover from the other side, and then heals Torgat.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"Alright, let's get you up on your feet."

Free action to continue the rage song.

Thanks, Darven!

With a groan, Torgat staggers to his feet, Trex skittering around him.

"Thank you, Darven. Please tell me that I at least managed to put down that bird." At the skald's nod, he shakes his head. "It was beautiful, but once a predator like that is trained to attack people, well. Not much else to do." Hearing the sounds of continuing combat, he sighs and begins making his way up the road, hugging close to the tents to gain whatever cover is available.

Kokina still needs to make the climb check, it sounds reasonable that you could ride her up.

A creature with a climb speed has a +8 racial bonus on all Climb checks. The creature must make a Climb check to climb any wall or slope with a DC higher than 0, but it can always choose to take 10, even if rushed or threatened while climbing. If a creature with a climb speed chooses an accelerated climb (see above), it moves at double its climb speed (or at its land speed, whichever is slower) and makes a single Climb check at a –5 penalty. Such a creature retains its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) while climbing, and opponents get no special bonus to their attacks against it. It cannot, however, use the run action while climbing.

Never mind, she takes 10 and easily makes it up.

Her turn tomorrow.

Torgst is still prone, as Darren comes well after him in the turn order, sorry.

The cloaked woman swings recklessly hard again at Garekk. She strikes Garekk right in the ribs with a mighty blow, cutting right through his armor. Only his orc heritage keeps him standing, as blood pours out from his mighty wound. Orc ferocity, at -10hp.

greataxe, PA, ?? vs AC15: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 2 + 2 = 18 greataxe: 1d12 + 6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 6 + 2 = 18

"Go down,, buffoon! I have had enough of your types!"

Kinshasa draws his sword and slashes down at the woman.

Masterwork Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Gnah, give up

Kokina also bites at the woman, on Kinshasa's urging.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Meiomi reaches the edge of where everyone has climbed and grabs Garekk's bow. I will never climb fast enough to do damage, so I may as well try shooting with Erastil's blessing
Stepping back into the main street, she takes a shot.
Meiomi's Attack into melee: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 4 = 2 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

With a groan, Torgat staggers to his feet, Trex skittering around him.

"Thank you, Darven. Please tell me that I at least managed to put down that bird." At the skald's nod, he shakes his head. "It was beautiful, but once a predator like that is trained to attack people, well. Not much else to do." Hearing the sounds of continuing combat, he sighs and begins making his way towards the fighting, hugging the sides of the tents to gain the protection of whatever limited cover they might provide.

Trex bumps Darven with his snout in gratitude, casting guidance on the skald before following Torgat.

Garekk cries out as the ax sinks deep into his ribs. In a desperate attempt to knock this foe down, he lets his inner demons out to play, seemingly growing larger and stronger.. not that it will do him good in the long run, but perhaps he can bring this woman down with him. With one last murderous roar, he brings his greatsword around once more, before falling over to his side and passing out.

Attack, Rage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Dmg: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 4) + 5 = 14

Gah!! The dice really hate us this game!!

First, Kinshasa and Kokino miss the woman, then Meiomi does, and finally, before he falls down, dying, Garekk does. (Garekk is at -11, dies at -16)

Darven is up.

Darven can't do much but double move towards the bulk of the combat, so he does so!

"I'm coming guys!"

As Darven and Torgat rush to re-enter the fight, Parani swings her axe once more, this time at Kinshasa! The axe cuts deeply into the cavalier, spilling out the nagaji's blood onto his mount. KInshasa falls to the ground (well, the top of the tent), leaving Kokino alone near the ranger.

greataxe, PA: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 2 = 22 slashing: 1d12 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 6 = 13

I just realized that Garekk took 3 less damage... still out, but not as close to dying.

Garekk stabilize DC18: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 Stable!
Kinshasa stabilize DC11: 1d20 ⇒ 10 Bleeds. -2hp

Meoimi, Darven, Torgat, Trex are is/are up!

Seeing Garekk and then Kinshasa go down, Torgat stops and takes a quick (5-foot) step to get a little behind the corner of the nearest tent in case their assailant picks up her bow again. He draws a wand from a loop in his belt, eyes it dubiously, and begins to activate it.

"Let's hope this one lasts longer than the last," he mutters.

Move action to draw Torgat's wand of Summon Monster I (CL3), still a full round to cast it. Also, I thought Torgat had been healed up to 5 - maybe it was 4? Not -4, though.

Darven double moves again, "Almost there guys! Just have to climb up this tent!"

Continue Rage song +2 dex.
