Guess they get it. Beldan might act first though, he has 27.

Crit init.....

their go....

The dwarf casts; a roiling cloud of smoke shot through with whitehot embers; it advances from him to where the big yellow "circle" is.

The efreeti advances, and clouts Gjetost, for 28 h.p. in damage....

the frost giant throws two rocks at Gjetost, and hits once, 22 h.p. in damage.

group's attack.....

Is the princess chained up or anything?

No, she's just watching; she looks bored and pissed off by it all.

Using fast stealth, and taking advantage of the haste spell, Beldan skitters through the shadows (staying a minimum of 10 feet clear from the big fiery ball of doom) to P9. Stealth: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (20) + 33 = 53 He draws his crossbow as he goes and loads it as a free action. If the efreeti princess notices him, he winks and puts a finger to his lips.

Nobody sees the sneaky shadowrogue...

“What’ll tha’ cloud do t’ me laddie?” Stig asks Altai.

Stig has a couple of potions of resist and protection from energy, worth him quaffing one then going into the incendiary cloud to fight the efreet? I’d originally thought he’d probably want to go and fight the frost giant, but probably better to concentrate on one enemy at a time for the most part and not spread out too much.

Beldan is going to try to annoy and distract the dwarf enough that he can’t pop a spell on the main group every round.

"Get the efreet smith! I'll take care of the little sorcerer." Altai turns towards the dwarf and casts an unfamiliar spell...

Move to R22 before casting Feeblemind on the modsognir. Will DC 28 to avoid having INT and CHA fall to 1.

I'll try to dispel the cloud next turn.

Pip has already cast Haste, so he jogs off to T22 and does his bardic music thing.

Gjetost steps closer to the big efreet, eager to teat out his fancy new sword.

5' step to NO 22-23. Attack 1: 11+21+3(bard)+1(haste)-3(Power Attack)=AC 33. Damage 2d8+18+3(bard)+9(Power Attack)=40.
Attack 2: 16!+15+3(bard)+1(haste)-3(Power Attack)=AC 32, confirm roll 12+15+3+1-3=AC 28. Damage 2d8+18+3(bard)+9(Power Attack)=38x2=76.
Attack 3 (bonus from Haste): 10+21+3(bard)+1(haste)-3(Power Attack)=AC 32. Damage 2d8+18+3(bard)+9(Power Attack)=39.

Stig trundles up to the efreet smith and gives it a good whack.

Move to J21, which provokes an AoO. He's using 4-point Power Attack and Furious Focus. Attack roll 10+29+3(bard)+1(haste)=AC 43, damage 2d6+19+12(PA)+3(bard)=42.

Elgan!

(And Hnoss.)

Elgan frowns as the firey spell goes off.

"Aw, cum on nowah! Nut Ever-bodee lahkes a dip in deh elemental pool! Yew shuud bee moah consid-er-ate uv yer guests!" The little druid calls out to the Dwarf over the swiftly rising clamor of his companions actions.

He does a little dance, adjusts his steps to coincide with Pip's musical accompaniment, and hurls a blast of magical frost at the burning area,...

Casting 'Dispel magic',...

1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Wow. Nat 20. Is that an auto-dispel?? ;P Did I do that right? 1d20 + stat (+4) plus level (+13)??? Or is it just plus level? If so total is 33

Looking good! The dispel check is just 1d20+your level, with the target DC being 11+the level of the other spellcaster. So your result is 33, which knocks off the spell unless he is level 22 or higher. So, it's not an auto-dispel, but it's pretty close. ;P

Looks like I forgot to move Claw.

Claw lumbers forwards towards the dwarven magician.

Triple move to RS 18-19.

feeblemind no workee.......

Pip gets to t22 okay;

Gjetost only hits once, and it's not a crit.....so I guess 38 h.p. damage....

Stig hits, and the aoo hits Stig; stig takes 26 h.p. damage.

Elgan's crit dispels the damn spell.

The not feebleminded dwarf screams in anger....

Hnoss goes for the efreeti; she hits and does 22 h.p. damage....

Their turn shortly;...

The Linkboy conjures up a wall of iron around claw....

The efreeti goes at Gjetost; he takes 25 h.p. damage; hit once.....

And the frost giant charges Stiggy;
stig takes 31 h.p. damage.

Group's attack!!!

MAP!

oh, and the premiere of Terra Nova's on,.....see you guys later tonite;....

Stig took 57 h.p. damage so far;...

Beldan quietly raises his crossbow, pops off a shot at the mad dwarf, then attempts to hide again.

Sneak attack (if he was unaware of me and denied his dex bonus) then rapid reload.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 plus 7d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 5, 5, 2, 1) = 28 sneak damage plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 cold damage plus 7 points of bleed damage and 2 points of strength damage.

After firing, Beldan takes a 5 foot step to P8 and tries to remain hidden – ie, ‘sniping’, stealth check with -20 penalty: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Two twos, fantastic ...

Linkboy....how you like a crossbow bolt in your neck?....

he's still up, but he sounds like Froggy of Our Gang now.....

oh, and the premiere of Terra Nova's on,.....see you guys later tonite;....

Cool – it looks interesting, I think it starts here soon, let us know how it is. That main guy is the guy who was in the US version of Life On Mars, right?

Yeah; Jason Omara; IMDB confirms that;.....never saw Life on Mars,....

Yeah; Jason Omara; IMDB confirms that;.....never saw Life on Mars,....

Good show, kinda trippy.

It was an okay show; I'll watch it. I mean, sheesh! I watched Land of the Lost,....

"You'll need to do better than that, spawn of Surtr," Gjetost rumbles as he lays into the efreet.

No move, but he's dropping the Power Attack.
Attack 1: 10+21+3(bard)+1(haste)=AC 35. Damage 2d8+18+3(bard)=30.
Attack 2: 14+15+3(bard)+1(haste)=AC 33, damage 2d8+18+3(bard)=27.
Attack 3 (bonus from Haste): 9+21+3(bard)+1(haste)=AC 34. Damage 2d8+18+3(bard)=32.

Stig keeps pounding the efreet. He's still using 4-point Power Attack and Furious Focus.
Attack 1: 10+29+3(bard)+1(haste)=AC 43, damage 2d6+19+12(PA)+3(bard)=42.
Attack 2: 13+24+3(bard)+1(haste)-4(PA)=AC 37, damage 2d6+19+12(PA)+3(bard)=43.
Attack 3: 11+19+3(bard)+1(haste)-4(PA)=AC 30, damage 2d6+19+12(PA)+3(bard)=39.
Attack 2: 9+29+3(bard)+1(haste)-4(PA)=AC 38, damage 2d6+19+12(PA)+3(bard)=40.

Claw furiously starts to punch his way through the conjured barrier.

Attacking an inanimate object's an automatic hit, right? Damage 1: 3d8+8=23. Damage 2: 3d8+8=22. The Wall has hardness 10, with hit points depending on how thick it is.

Pip opens up on the dwarven wizard, all the while whistling a merry tune.

Lessee... No move. He's using Rapid Shot, Manyshot and Deadly Aim, plus his arrows +3.
Attack 1 (w/Manyshot): 13+19+1(haste)+3(bard)-2(Rapid Shot)-3(Deadly Aim)=AC 31, damage 1d6+5+3(bard)+6(Deadly Aim)=18x2(Manyshot)=36.
Attack 2: 11+14+1(haste)+3(bard)-2(Rapid Shot)-3(Deadly Aim)=AC 24, damage 1d6+5+3(bard)+6(Deadly Aim)=17.
Attack 3 (bonus from Haste): 13+19+1(haste)+3(bard)-2(Rapid Shot)-3(Deadly Aim)=AC 31, damage 1d6+5+3(bard)+6(Deadly Aim)=17.

feeblemind no workee.......

The not feebleminded dwarf....

Bah! And here I spent four of my precious 5th level slots memorising two opposing-school spells to knock off this jerk. *grumble*whine*

Ahem... Altai's action depends on the continued health of the efreet and the dwarf. Also, Hnoss might want to heal up Stig. That frost giant's full attack sequence is bound to be ugly.

Thanks Vatters, I was just dreading doing the math! =D

Pip sings as he shoots, his floating sword harmonizing and providing backup music

"In the year of the scavenger, the season of the b*%!&
Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch
Just another future song, lonely little kitsch
There's gonna be sorrow try and wake up tomorrow."

Gjetost hits once, for 30.

"You need to tighten up yourself, whoreson of Utgard Loki;" replies the efreeti.

Claw hits; he's denting the thing some.

Pip plants three arrows in the wizard;

Stig hits the efreeti two of three;

Hnoss hits the efreeti once.

And the fire djinn is still standing....

I guess it's Altai's turn.

Oh, and Altai,....he almost didn't do what it was he did that saved him from being one shotted there. I guess it was a pretty useful spell. ;)

Decisions, decisions... Altai looks back and forth between his foes. Selecting one, he casts a more familiar spell...

I'm hitting the frost giant with my empowered Enervation spell. Attack roll 12+9+3(bard)+1(haste)=touch AC 25, damage 1d4=3x1.5=4.5 levels. Do we round these things up or down? The loss of BAB and the penalty to attack rolls, damage and saves ought to be worth it no matter.

Them!

Was it THIS round that Elgan dispell'd the fire spell? IF not, then on his turn he'll swat his friend Stig on the back with his healing wand.

I think you round down;....

The giant gets dosed though.....he's feebled.

It was last round; go for it!

After Elgan heals stig, it's.....them.....

Elgan swats Stig on his prodigious backside with his little healer's stick.

Cure Crit wand, 3d6+6, yes?

3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2) + 6 = 20

Now Stig's 37 h.p. down...

Elgan swats Stig on his prodigious backside with his little healer's stick.

O.o

Their turn....
the frost giant moves; gives Beldan a whack....though he's drained, and so misses the rogue.

The efreeti goes after Gjetost;
and rolls twice really f@*+ing s#$#ty rolls.

Black tentacles appear,......Altai, Pip, and Gjetost;
the cmb roll is 20 or you're grappled, and take 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 damage.

Group's attack...

heh heh.....

"Now, little human mage,.....not so damn tough now, are ya?!?"
he taunts Altai.

Beldan pokes his tongue out at the giant, then attempts to tumble out of its reach, moving into the shadows behind the throne and hiding (fast stealth): Acrobatics: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (15) + 27 = 42, Stealth: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (12) + 33 = 45

Position O3.

He gets away with it.

"Hurh! Stay still and die, little mouse!"

MAP!!!

yeah, good plan moron, thinks Beldan. He hopes he can keep this joker occupied long enough for his friends to kill the efreet ...

"Come out and fight like a TRUE MAN!!! You want to die the strawdeath? Spend forever in Niflheim?!? Coward!!!"

Does bardic music help CMD? In addition to tthe bonus from Haste, Pip has a base CMD of 21 and Gjetost has 31, so they shrug off the tentacles. Altai, however only has 18. So he makes it if bardic music counts, and is grappled if it doesn't.

Pip scurries out of the field of tentacles before taking another shot at the dwarven wizard.

Move to U18 before firing, using Manyshot, Deadly Aim and his arrows +3.
Attack roll: 11+19+1(haste)+3(bard)-3(Deadly Aim)=AC 31, damage 1d6+5+3(bard)+6(Deadly Aim)=19x2(Manyshot)=38.

More of the same from Stig. He takes a 5' step to K20 before unloading with 4-point Power Attack and Furious Focus.
Attack 1: 11+29+3(bard)+1(haste)=AC 44, damage 2d6+19+12(PA)+3(bard)= 42.
Attack 2: 9+24+3(bard)+1(haste)-4(PA)=AC 33, damage 2d6+19+12(PA)+3(bard)=39.
Attack 3: 10+19+3(bard)+1(haste)-4(PA)=AC 29, damage 2d6+19+12(PA)+3(bard)=38.
Attack 2: 19!+29+3(bard)+1(haste)-4(PA)=AC 48, confirm roll 13+29+1+3-4=AC 42, damage 2d6+19+12(PA)+3(bard)=41x3=123.

Claw puts more dents in the wall of iron.

Damage 1: 3d8+8=22. Damage 2: 3d8+8=20.
