Carl does things

init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

That's not really too much of a stretch. If we're all aware of them and they're not aware of us, we all get a surprise round action before they do anyways so initiative order isn't that important yet. It's only important if, say, they're aware of some of us but not all and so some people get to act in surprise but not all. And I like groups that aren't too meta-y.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"Here we go," Beleg mutters.

Surprise action: ready to attack if any goblin comes near.

Black Blade Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 1 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Mostly I just went with it because I was in the middle of writing up my action when the GM ninja'ed me with the initiative. :)

Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

One down! Quiven says as he scratches at the area where he was bitten. Ugh, I hope I don't turn into a dog.

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Ander moves to the other side of Quiven and awaits the oncoming goblins, bow ready.

Dink: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

One goblin charges Quiven!
charge!: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 2 = 15
dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1

A second closes on Ander.
attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The last moves up and takes an aggressive stance, as though he was ready for something...

Quiven, Dink!

Dink takes in the scene...

...and decides to demoralize the goblin attacking his favorite banana loving halfling.

"Your momma was a pink poodle you wet-nosed little..."

taunt: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Quiven will discard his bow and draw his weapons for melee combat!

Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

If I recall, I can't use both weapons this round because I had to draw them first.

Quiven: without the Quick Draw feat, that is correct.

Dink puffs up and the goblin appears shaken.

The goblin with the fist full of flame casts a spell!

Vines begin to grow abnormally fast out of the briar walls, entwining about your feet!
DC 14 Refl save to avoid becoming entangled.

collateral damage goblin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

The cat moves up alongside this last goblin, crouching in a guarding posture.

Maddie, Ander, Carl, Beleg!

Carl tries to avoid the entangle.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Carl hacks at the guy in front of him.
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
2d4 + 14 ⇒ (1, 2) + 14 = 17

If that is enough to kill the goblin, he will move.

That eviscerates the goblin. (Aren't you supposed to be tending some field or something?)

Carl's movement triggers the readied action of the back-rank goblin!
hi-YAAA!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 4
But not to much effect.

Before I forget : Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Cursing at the entangling vegetation, Ander drops his bow, draws his blade and attacks the goblin in front of him.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 2 - 2 = 10
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Finding herself wrapped up in briar, Maddie attempts to break free.

Strength check - ACP: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 1 - 3 = 15

Not done with actions yet, waiting to find out if she broke out before taking another move or standard action.

Sorry, Maddie, DC is 16.

Attempting to break free is a move action, so she has a standard left.

A brief look of annoyance flashes across Maddie's features as it seems she comes terribly close to breaking free, yet fails.

Undaunted, she attempts to cast Hold Person on the goblin with the flaming sword.

Concentration Check (DC 17): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

As Maddie loses her spell, she takes a deep breath in an effort to stay serene.

Ref: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Beleg curses under his breath as vines grip his legs. He tries to break free.

Str check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Str check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

But it takes him a couple tries to pull free.

Ander is attacked!
attack!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
damage?: 1d4 ⇒ 3

...and so is Carl!
attack!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
damage?: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Neither dogslicer manages to connect. Both look at each other, then at the goblin with the weapon of flame in his hand, concern registering across their grimaces.

Quiven, Dink!

Quiven, avoiding the entanglement of the surrounding foliage, will take a 5' step south (assuming I can be in the square of the fallen gobby) and attacks the goblin east of his position!

Rapier: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Lt Mace: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Crit with Rapier?: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Quiven uses his rapier to great effect, lancing the goblin through and sending her to meet her maker.

"Whoa!"
Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Dink steps--a difficult-- 5 feet east. will adjust map as soon as possible

If he is able to see a suspicious sort of goblin capable of casting he will taunt them.

Knowledge: local ?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

If he has a caster in sight...

"This was the best swimmer your daddy had?!"

Taunt: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Otherwise, Dink will double move next to Ander.

having Google map issues. Feel free to adjust Dink accordingly.

Dink couldn't see the casting goblin where he was. Now that he's moved near Ander, he can, and can attempt a taunt next round.

The goblin with the fist full of flame pulls a wand out and moves back nearer the bramble wall, then points at Carl and mumbles something.

The red-and-black furred cougar tilts his head, then looks at Carl with narrowed eyes and attacks!

bite!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
free trip vs CMD: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
bite dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Maddie, Ander, Carl, Beleg!

Carl gets knocked on his butt from Kitty. He will stand up, provoking from kitty.

Then he power attacks the goblin, hoping to drop him, and use cleaving finish to attack the kitty.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
dmg: 2d4 + 14 ⇒ (4, 1) + 14 = 19

if it kills the goblin, he cleaves to the kitty
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
dmg: 2d4 + 14 ⇒ (2, 1) + 14 = 17

Maddie continues to struggle out of her briary prison.

Str Check - ACP: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 3 = 9
Str Check - ACP: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 3 = 6

Alas, she's still stuck.

Maddie tugs at the vines, which nevertheless hold her fast in place.

Carl takes a move action to get up from prone.
AoO from firepelt cougar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
AoO dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
The firepelt chomps on the prone farmer and takes another tasty, tasty hunk of farmer flesh. Mmm.
T'will provoke from Unfortunate Goblin #3 too.
AoO from goblin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
AoO dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1
The goblin swings at Carl wildly and without much conviction, making his last moments worthy of scorn.

Carl scrambles back to his feet. His stroke (giggety) cuts down the last goblin mook. His follow-through, however, whistles harmlessly over the firepelt's head.

Ander, Beleg; then Quiven and Dink!

Concentration Check vs DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Sh*t!

Ander tries to cast a spell, but loses it as the vegetation tickles him.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

He then tries to break free and fails at that as well...

I think I broke free last time?

Beleg readies his blade against any threats that might come within reach.

Black Blade Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 1 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

DC to break free is 16; your last roll was a 14. Trying to break free is a move action, so I'll let you use the 14 you just rolled.

Quiven will 5' step toward the cat and attack with his weapons.

Rapier: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Lt Mace: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Rapier Crit?: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Quiven steps forward and attacks the firepelt, piercing its tough hide and eliciting a snarl from the cat.

Taunt: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 at caster looking goblin.

Uses the same insult... but to much less effect than it sounded in his head 6 seconds ago!

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 If needed for being within the area of the spell.

Dink then steps away from the mess of vines and plants.

The caster looks at Dink's display, but doesn't flinch. Dink slips out of the tendrils of the spell effect.

The caster screeches something unintelligible (and unpleasant) and charges Quiven!
attack vs Touch AC!: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The firepelt continues to focus on Carl.

confirm crit vs Touch AC on Quiven?: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7
crit dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Maddie presents her symbol of the goddess Pharasma and channels positive energy to heal her companions.

Channel Positive to Heal, excluding two nearest dying goblins (4/5 remaining): 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

She then returns to attempting to disentangle herself.

Str - ACP: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 3 = 9

Carl takes 11 points, then heals 11 points from Maddie's wonderful channel.

Thanks Maddie!

Carl tries to slice the s%+@ out of the kitty.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
2d4 + 14 ⇒ (1, 1) + 14 = 16

Beleg sighs and resheathes his blade, drawing out his bow with a look of do better this time on his face.

Quiven winces at the pain delivered by the mage-like goblin but then feels the warm soothing healing power of Maddie. I can get use to that! Focusing on the task at hand, Quiven directs his strikes toward the magic user!

Rapier: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Mace: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Carl attacks the firepelt ferociously, but does not connect.

Beleg sheathes his blade and draws his bow, deciding there is more than one way to skin this cat (and its master).

Quiven double-swings at the caster; both strike home!

Ander, Dink!

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Ander finally breaks free of the entangling vegetation and moves forward past Dink, and stops in front of the flaming goblin.

Dink begins to insult the caster goblin with a story involving a dog and the casters mother...

DC 15 Will vs. Mock (Bardic Performance)

Will save!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

The casting goblin gets angry. Are you...mocking me?!? I will not be mocked!

But to get at the gnome, he has to get past the halfling first. With fury at Dink's display, he uses the flame jutting from his hand to attack Quiven again.
attack vs Touch AC!: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 - 2 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
The caster cannot penetrate the halfling's defenses since the gnome distracted him.

The firepelt would like to be Carl's best friend. Or at least closer to him.
bite!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
free trip vs CMD (if a hit): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

claw 2!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
claw 2 dmg: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Only one claw gets into Carl's flesh this time, though.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
it probably will miss because I'm a champ at that
on a rare occasion that i hit: 2d4 + 14 ⇒ (4, 3) + 14 = 21

Did Carl add Maddie's bless in?

Sadly yes.

Maddie continues to try to break free of the briar.

Str - ACP: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 1 - 3 = 13
Str - ACP: 1d20 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (13) + 1 - 3 = 11

Sadly yes.

Then 19 will miss. Good for goblinses and firepelts, bad for longshanks.

Ander attacks the goblin, swinging his blade hard.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Beleg mumbles a few swear words (in Galtan) under his breath.

Greenwood Composite Longbow in melee: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 4 = 7
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

The swearing becomes louder and directed more pointedly towards his bow.
