Eldon sits comfortably on a chair, telling everyone else in the inn how successful the plan he devised has already proven to be.

"It's a perfect plan, but what else would you expect from me? Nothing but epic perfection, of course."

Wren nods along with Eldon, happy the little man is taking credit for the unfolding chaos.

We'll see how it goes.

"Arval, W'Jack, you might want to watch the door. We don't want those nasty wolves to come in here," Wren chitters, waiting.

Lena casts shield, and whispers well this is goiung better than i thought. But should you be speaking so loud?

She maintains her position near the door.

"Force of habit," Eldon whispers.

Arval walks over to the eastern door of the inn and starts barricading it with tables, barrels and benches. He then moves to the northern point inside the inn so he has an overview of the two doors leading inside.
"This should do it. It seems to be working outside, heard the wolves talking about dealing with us after the fight with the skeletons."

arval, what in Desna's stary night are you doing? We may want to exit quickly, don't you think? There is a building not five feet from this one that is on fire. Stop barricading. And be quiet. Lena whispers urgently.

Arval stops the moment Lena silently yells at him.
"Isn't flanking worse?"
He slowly starts to feel the heat from the burning mill and quickly removes the items he had placed in front of the door.
"Maybe you are right..."
He walks to the northern corner of the inn and stands watch, watching both doors.
"I'll just stand here then, we'll know when we get flanked."

Lena leans up and pats arval on the arm.
it's ok, I don't mean to be sharp. I'm feelibg a bit closed in. I hate hiding. But keeping our exit clear is a good thing. Besides, the demon wolves have other things on their minds right now. she whispers.

She paces a bit

what is going on?

Wren continues to wait to see what happens. She notes Lena's concern that the fire might spread with some concern...but hopes that it takes a bit of time before it does.

Round 5
Kawrock keeps circling overhead as a dozen skeletons and two curates start charging for the werewolves. The werewolves howl, and finally the question of which is better - skeletons or werewolves - can be answered. More dangerously, however, two festrogs have accompanied the skeletons.

Round 6
The two groups collide into one another as the curates cast spells to summon spiritual weapons to start slashing apart the werewolves. The skeletons prove to be completely useless against the demon wolves, who respond by ripping apart the skeletons with ease. The festrogs and curates are more dangerous, though and do great damage to the werewolves.

Round 7
Two werewolves go down as they are slashed apart by the curates' spells and the festrogs, but the skeletons are completely destroyed, being completely useless against the Jezeldans. Adimarus engages direclty with the cultists.

As the fight goes on, the Inn begins rapidly filling with smoke, and roof of the inn is now on fire.

The group will have to deal with smoke inhalation in the coming round if they want to stay in the inn. The werewolves and the undead are having a merry fight at this point in time. I'm going to assume Kawrock has simply observed.

Lena coughs.
Time to go.
With that she opens the door and looks, then exits.

Arval starts a coughing fit and stumbles outside after Lena. He just manages to get out of the door before falling to his knees on the ground, coughing up puffs of smoke.

Moved 40ft, double move

"Abou' time! Here I be thinkin' we were gonna sit there until our feet grew int' th' floor."

Whiskeyjack followed Arval out, keeping his shield high.

With the two forces engaged in open battle, Kawrock flies over to the building where the Princes wolves are holed up. "THE DEMON WOLVES ARE OUT AND FIGHTING THE WHISPERING WAY! NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!" He shouts down at them before flying back to the battle field.

Wren stands and fluffs her feathered 'armor', a rich tapestry of feathers and beauty. She casts fly and is ready to soar out of the Inn and into combat.

Wren flies up and over the Inn. She's on top, not inside the inn.

I'm positioning Arval and Whiskeyjack outside since their tokens were not moved.

Round 8

Kawrock flies off of the battlefield at a breakneck pace to circle over the Prince's Wolves and alert them to the fight. The door bursts open and then begin racing to the battlefield in wolf form. Wren flaps her way up to hover over the inn so that she can watch the battle take place.

The group then bursts out of the back door to escape the smoke, and get ready to circle around to join the battle.

On the battlefield, the cultists and werewolves exchange blows, with no deaths on either side.

Everyone is up again! Kawrock will take a full round to get back to the battlefield. The rest of you can move or engage as you wish. Please remember to move your tokens.

Round 8, Init 10

Wren soars a bit higher over the inn and trying to stay well above the smoke. She figures the werewolves are the primary targets in this fight.

She fires off a magic missile at the southmost w'wolf.

4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 3) + 4 = 15 force damage

Lena starts with a fireball on the marked, lop sided cross near the top curate

fireball: 8d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 3, 1, 4, 1, 4, 4) = 28 DC20 reflex for half

Arval starts running towards Lena. He pulls out his sword, ready to attack anyone on his path.

could someone move me to the northwestern door/window of the Inn? On my phone right now.

Sorry I forgot to mention I was posting from my phone and couldn't move the token

"Come along, Eldon. We cannae be leavin' them t' have all th' fun if'n i' comes t' a fight!"

Double move to follow Arval.

Eldon runs after Whiskeyjack with such a fast pace for his halfling legs that, for once in his life, he doesn't have enough air to also run his mouth.

Okay, we're moving into proper combat rounds now. I'll give the other side a chance to respond and move into 'round one' of the full fight.

The group burst into action as Wren and Lena let fly with spells. Kawrock speeds back onto the battlefield. Lena's fireball goes off spectacularly. The wolves show a resistance to the fire but are nonetheless harmed, and it badly burns the curates and festrog.

The festrogs and wolves become a complete ball of madness as they bite and claw one another. Adimarus stalks up to a curate, and slashes her to pieces with three swift strokes of his sword before turning to spy Wren and Lena entering the fight.

"We're being attacked from the rear! Clean up and brace for more battle!"

The second curate, eyeing Adimarus, steps back to watch Wren and Lena but does not act. Despite the fact her side has clearly lost, she snarls defiantly at everyone.

Wren, Whiskeyjack, and Arval are up!

Round 1, Init 22

"Now this is a good fight," Wren clucks to Kawrock.

Wren fires off a magic missile at the southmost/blue w'wolf

4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 3) + 4 = 12 force damage

"Angradd, as we prepare t' receive th' bounty ye have proffered us, may our arms be bouyed by yer holy fire, an' our spirits filled with yer righteous anger!"

Casting Bless on the party, and moving forward.

Sorry for not posting yesterday. I had a funeral and forgot to mention it on monday :/

Arval keeps running towards the group, hoping to keep the attention away from Lena, Wren and Eldon.
"TO BATTLE!"

Wren fires in another missile as Whiskeyjack blesses the party. Arval lets out a roaring battle cry in order to draw lots of attention to himself. He gets some attention as the undead and werewolves all look at him. The festrogs just keep on their mission, which is trying to rip apart demon wolves. Unfortunately, they don't do a very good job of it and the blue demon wolf is scratched but once.

Lena, Kawrock, and Eldon are up!

"It's starting to be." Kawrock caws back at Wren as he flies over the battlefield, unleashing a pillar of holy flame on a Festerog and two demon wolves.

Flame pillar: 8d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 4, 5, 4, 6, 3) + 1 = 37

This should catch north most Festerog and the two wolves fighting it. It is DC 18 reflex for half and half the damage is holy and the other half is fire. It might be a bit tricky with the fire resist on the wolves. Also the +1 is extra fire damage since Kawrock's fire attacks go to 11 now.

Oh, toughies. Once more, with feeling!

Targeting same spot
fireball: 8d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 1, 4, 3, 1, 1) = 14 +1 if undead
DC20 ref for half

OMG! What a bad roll!

Kawrock flies overhead and with a FOOM creates a brutal pillar of flame. The festrog is completely destroyed, and one of the wolves badly hurt. Lena tries to follow up with a fireball of her own, but the curate watching her quickly casts a spell, and Lena finds her spell cancelled! Eldon runs up.

Adimarus quickly realizes where the real threta is.

"GET THEM!" he roars, and two of the wolves break away to advance towards the party. Adimarus joins them, his eyes on Arval. The remaining wolf rips apart the festrog, and the curate stays back and heals herself. As Adimarus stalks up to the gruop, there's a roaring sound, and you turn to see the Princes Wolves have arrived! They shift into hybrid form, pulling out their crossbows.

"YOU'LL NEVER GET THE HEART!" shouts one at Adimarus. The leader of the Demon Wolves just snarls.

Everyone is up!

"Focus on the wolves and I'll distract the curate." Kawrock says as he circles over the whispering way leader, causing a ring of violet flame to appear, surrounding the evil caster.

damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 1 = 7

2d6+9 damage if she feels the need to run through it.

"Alright, Arval, it's time to get you in position for some perfect swings!" Eldon announces as if he just came up with the best plan ever. "Don't you worry! Just don't try to resist my spell!"

Eldon casts jester's jaunt and, unless Arval resists the spell, teleports the fighter to a position next to one of the wolves. The cocky bard then starts giving Arval instructions on how to use his sword, as if Arval didn't know that yet.

Inspire Courage +2 is up!

@Arval: I moved you on the map, assuming you go along with being teleported.

how did the curate dispel magic and heal? Just asking

botheration!

Round 2, Init 22

Wren fires off a magic missile at the blue w'wolf.

4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 1) + 4 = 12 force damage

Arval suddenly feels his world shift as Eldon teleports him behind one of the wolves.
"What the..."
He sees the wolf before him and decides its better to just swing instead of talk. He tries to stand tall and menacing as he plunges his sword into one of the wolves.

Power atk: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 = 26
Intimidate on hit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
dmg: 1d10 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 2 = 19

Power atk: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 = 16
Intimidate on hit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
dmg: 1d10 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 2 = 20

"Eldon, ye daft...wai until th' rest o' us ge' int' position!"

Whiskjack had no more breath to spare for yelling orders as he sprinted to help Arval, who was now engaged behind the front line of enemies.

Double move, swift to burn a fervor to cast divine favor on himself.

Don't forget Bless everyone!

Good point Lena, her initiative has changed. That said you still need to take your action.

Kawrock encircles the curate with a ring of fire while Wren fwaps the wolf in the back with a magic missile. It is blasted backwards and collapses on the ground. Eldon then sends Arval into the fray with a poof. The doughty warrior appears behind Adimarus, where he connects with one hit but fails to intimidate his foe.

Lena has an action. I'll GMPC if she hasn't posted by this evening.

Lena magic missiles the curate.

magic missile : 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 4) + 4 = 16 +1 damage if undead

The curates are human.

The curate is blasted by the missile but manages to remain upright, despite being trapped in a wall of fire, with her undead minions gone, and a lot of angry werewolves and adventurers to deal with. The Prince's Wolves load their crossbows at once, and all of them aim at Adimarus - the smaller werewolves look very interested in keeping their distance from Adimarus. One bolt connects with Adimarus' face, but bounces off.

The demon wolves snarl and engage with Whiskeyjack and Arval, their blades exploding into black flame as they call upon their dark goddess. Arval manages to avoid the attacks of Adimarius as another wolf comes up behind him. However, Whiskey is slashed and bitten and then knocked to the ground!

Whiskeyjack takes 33 damage and is prone! Everyone is up!

Round 3, Init 22

"Someone help W'Jack!" Wren clucks.

Wren fires off a magic missile at the plain w'wolf

4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 4) + 4 = 12 force damage

Lena advances 4 squares east and casts scorching ray at the red werewolf

whiskyjack!

scorching ray1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 touch attack

scorching ray2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 touch attack

damage1: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 6, 1) = 11

damage2: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 2) = 8

why doesn't the dice thrower like me

wren! There are other spells than magic missile. Use one!

Kawrock continues to circle the air above the curate. Firing down a bolt of flame as the circle of fire continues to burn his prey.

Wall of fire: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2) + 1 = 4

Firebolt: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Arval takes a step aside and keeps attacking the werewolf.
"Whiskey, don't go down! Keep swinging and slam those skulls!"

Power atk: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 2 = 16
INtimidate on hit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
Dmg: 1d10 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 2 = 22

Power atk: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21
INtimidate on hit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Dmg: 1d10 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 2 = 21

Also, demon wolves have spell resistance, I've been rolling it in spoilers - but for future reference.

Wren's Overcome SR: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Lena's Overcome SR: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Kawrock's wall and fire spell finally overcome the curate, who collapses into the wall to burn to death. Wren's magic missile thuds into a demon wolf, almost killing it. Lena's scorching ray connects beautifully, but the demon wolf's natural fire resistance renders it almost useless.

Arval keeps attacking Adimarus, who proves an able opponment as he parries the warrior's attacks.

wren! There are other spells than magic missile. Use one!

"Squawk! At least my spells are working, Lena!" Wren squawks back.

But more honestly, the pit spells, fireball, and glitterdust are awful considering the considering the positioning of foes and fire resistance. So MM is the right choice...if W'Jack wasn't prone, then I might get a pit down, but Wren knows what she is doing.

Forgot to say that Whiskeyjack and Eldon are up!

"Mine are working as well!" Kawrock calls from above, not wanting to be left out.

Ah! I just looked at the totals and not the roll. Fairy 'nuff then!"

Whiskeyjack looked up from teh ground to see the wolves standing over him, and he cursed loud and long. To think that a dwarf could be tripped so easily as that. Still, it would be better not to lay there and get pummeled. He launched himself to his feet, his shield held high, swinging his warhammer as he went.

attack,ic, df: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 + 3 = 19
damage, silver, ic, df: 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 + 3 = 12

My spells are working, not my fault they are fire proof! Don't you have any cold or electrical spells?

Lena casts a magic missile at the curate

magic missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 2) + 4 = 11

Eldon rushes in, stabbing out at one of the werewolves! However his attack is knocked aside. The Princes Wolves line up, and send a volley of crossbow bolts at the badly injured plain werewolf, who goes down under the attack.

Whiskeyjack is pummeled as he stands, but it bounces off of his armour, as wella s the subsequent attacks. Arval finds himself flanked as another werewolf moves in, and he barely manages to fend off Adimarus' vicious falchion. Adimarus then leaps on Arval, and scores a nasty bite! As he does so, he bears Arval down to the gorund.

Arval takes 19 damage and is prone! Everyone is up. Lena, the Curate died last round - you can re-do your action since you posted out of order.
