Not flatfooted it isn't =)

Excellent point.

Not enough space to move between the fence and the hobgoblin's cover?

Not enough space to move between the fence and the hobgoblin's cover?

Through difficult terrain (its a slight hill) yes.

Lucanor is caught off guard, but the moment of embarrassment passes as he focuses on the need of the now. Taking his crossbow out, he fires at the nearest hobgoblin, "They've got good cover" He admits with annoyance.
Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Dmg if that hits: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Hecktor has 2 hours to update or I'll DMPC him to move combat along. So expect an update around 12pm CST.

Also, take a look at the map HERE to check positioning/flanking and what not.

Also I marked on the Current Map in the campaign settings up top where this encounter occurred.

Initiative order:
Hecktor

Ok,
Heckor moves forward to threaten the hobgoblin to the south, he draws his warscythe while moving.
Silas uses his wit to deinspire the 2 hobgoblins, the animals are immune. took the liberty of moving Silas within 30' of the HG
Gared takes a shot, misses.
Hobgoblins fire their bows at Percival again, seeing a chance to get a quick victory. South HG takes a step back to avoid Hecktor's menacing.
NorthHG: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 8
SouthHG: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Both Hobgoblin's miss Percival.
HG's drop their bows and pull their Handaxes out.
Michael moves.
Razorcrows flurry about attacking
Michael rcattack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 talon: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

All misses

NP Hecktor, it may just happen from time to time during combat that I DMPC you, I did what I thought you would do.

Hey there, sorry Niles. But i work night shifts and am asleep during the day from 12:00 till 18:00. I'm in the amsterdam timezone. 18:58 here now

Round 2, Fennec dies in 2 more rounds.

Also note, Razorcrows do not AoO because they are flying above the square so feel free to use ranged attacks without provoking.

I can't see on the map what i'm closest to, so i'm assuming still the hobgoblin. So resolve when it can :)

Attacking:
Scythe attack: 1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 4 = 8

Ugh....lousy result :)

Edit:
Shame on me, i had forgotten in profile what dmg is on my weapons. Updated in profile.

I'll move you to an attack position on the Hobgoblin closest to you.

Gared drops his bow and pulls out his greataxe, attemping to cleave the attacking stormcrow in two.

Attack (greataxe): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage (greataxe): 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Free action: Drop longbow
Swift action: None
Move action: Draw greataxe
Standard action: Attack stormcrow

Noting that Hecktor has closed to melee range Silas faces the Hobgoblin he's fighting, takes a deep breath and unleashes a torrent of bad jokes, "Three Dwarves walk into a bar, the fourth one ducks.
Where are you if a Vrock pushes you a against a wall? Between a Vrock and a hard place.
What do you call a mage duel? A spelling B.
What do you do when a dwarf is drowning? Take your foot off his head.
What did the judge say to the halfling? Will the defendant please rise."

Standard Action: Silas casts Hideous Laughter at the Hobgoblin Hecktor is fighting, DC15 will save.
Move Action: Silas equips his bow.

Gared drops his bow and pulls out his greataxe, attemping to cleave the attacking stormcrow in two.

Attack (greataxe): 1d20+3
Damage (greataxe): 1d12+3

Free action: Drop longbow
Swift action: None
Move action: Draw greataxe
Standard action: Attack stormcrow

The Razorcrow is about 20feet above you, better to use the bow methinks.

I'll update the combat to this point.

GaredBow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 bowdmg: 1d8 ⇒ 2
Gared hits the Razorcrow which squawks indignantly.
SHG will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
SHG falls prone at Hecktor's feet. Hecktor smiles broadly.

NHG scoops up his discarded bow and shoots at Hecktor.
Stay way from me brudder!
bow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Razorcrows
The one that Gared hit flaps off in a southerly direction.
2 fly to Percival and begin clawing at him
Razorcrow2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 talon: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Percival is clawed for 2 dmg total. 2 attacks 1dmg each
Razorcrow3: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 talon: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
One flaps over to Silas and attacks
Razorcrow4: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 talon: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
This one scores Silas across the arm with its talons. 4 dmg.

I know I only rolled one attack but I was counting 1 roll for 2 natural attacks, saves me some time.

Round 2

"Hecktor, you finish that one near you, we can take care of the 'uderbrudder' shooting at you." Lucanor moves north and west a bit to fire at the northern hobgoblin.

Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Dmg if that hits: 1d8 ⇒ 4

If i kill the goblin, it'd be stylish if for a possible decap...seeing as my previous profession involved such motions ^^. So let's see. Please correct me if i'm miscalculating on the dmg roll.

Since round 3 might start when im working, following are:

Attack prone goblin: 1d20 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 24
Dmg: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8

** spoiler omitted **

Since round 3 might start when im working, following are:

[dice=Attack prone goblin]1d20+1+4
[Dice=Dmg]2d4+5+6

Pretty sure your calculating things wrong here.

Attack = BAB+STR+MWK Bonus so 1+4+1= +6 (It's prone so +4 more for this round) for a grand total of +10

Damage= Base Weapon+ 1.5*Str so 2d4+6 not sure where you got the +5 to damage from.

Edited previous post to your calcs. Couldn't find where i got the +5 from. :)

I'll probably check in again at 01:00. If by then more rounds have gone by move me as you see fit.

Round 2 so far.

Waiting on Michael and Percival, I'll check again around 8-9pm CST and update if necessary. If no update by tomorrow morning then I'll DMPC around 5-6AM CST.

I know you're still on round 2, but posing my actions for round 3 in case it happens while I'm sleeping.

Silas will maintain Satire unless both hobgoblins die, (assume he's poking fun at their googly eyes, the poor weapons training they have and their unsanitary habits, etc...)

Michael rides up the hill and turns to face the hobgoblin as he and Adrienne unleash a torrent of attacks.
"You're not safe anymore!

Fight with Mount check DC 10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Michael attack, using Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 - 1 = 24
War Hammer Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
The +1 to my attack is the higher ground bonus I get for being mounted, since my mount is a large creature and the hobgoblin is medium.

Adrienne bite attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Adrienne bite damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Michael attack crit confirmation roll: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 - 1 = 11
And the crit is not confirmed. Poo.

Free Action: Attack with mount ride check
Move Action(both): Move up the hill
Standard Action(Michael): Attack with war hammer
Standard Action(Adrienne): Attack with bite

Swaying slightly on his feet, an arrow in his chest and beak wounds in his neck, Percival looks between the crows. "B%~%$&*s." Turning, he sprints away a short distance.

Retreat north

Looks like Dr Lawson is in trouble, change of plan for Silas in round 3. Daze won't work on a Razorcrow so Silas will try to shoot the one attacking the Doctor. I hope for the Doctor's sake Silas gets to use the attack roll from my previous post.

Round 3 Begins
Initiative order:
Hecktor attacks, hits
Silas attacks, kills
Gared <=================================We are here in initiative.
Hobgoblins x2 both wounded -9/-8

Percival -8hp and Lucanor

Fox bleeds out and dies next round.

MAP

Poor little bugger.

If the hobgoblin that's in front of Michael does anything to provoke an AoO, Michael and Adrienne will both take it. I'm assuming that he dropped his axe when he picked his bow back up. So if he tries to pick the axe back up, tries to shoot, or he tries to move away from me, he gets splattered. I've got him trapped good.

Michael continues his attack on the goblin in front of him.
"I wouldn't be worried about your brother anymore. You've got me to deal with now!"

Michael attack, power attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 - 1 = 6
Michael damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13
Adrienne bite attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Adrienne bite damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

If I don't have to move to continue my attack I'm going for a full attack. Adrienne gets two hoof attacks as well in that situation.
Adrienne hoof attack 1: 1d20 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 5 = 5
Adrienne hoof attack 2: 1d20 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 5 = 3
Adrienne hoof damage 1: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Adrienne hoof damage 2: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Swigging from a glass vial of blue liquid studded with gold, Percival turns and draws a heavy dart.

Drink an extract of CLW
Heal: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Poor little bugger.

You guys still have 2 rounds of actions to save him. DC 10 str check to open the trap and dc 15 heal to stop the bleeding.

See the problem with rolling your AoO before you get one. Now I can totally metagame and take the AoO knowing that the HG won't get hit. I'll roll AoO's if you don't mind or I'll call for them, you don't want to give me an advantage do you?

Do we want to save the fox? Silas should be able to open the trap but can't staunch the bleeding.

Yea, I see that now. Oh well. Live and learn.

Gared strings another arrow and lets it fly towards the stormcrow to his south, then moves towards the trapped fennec. Gared won't move within range of the stormcrow next to the fennec though.

Attack (longbow, Point Blank Shot): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage (longbow): 1d8 ⇒ 5

Free action: None
Swift action: None
Standard action: Attack stormcrow
Move action: Move towards fennec

Gared strings another arrow and lets it fly towards the stormcrow to his south.

Attack (longbow, Point Blank Shot): 1d20+5
Damage (longbow): 1d8

The wounded or unwounded one?

The one farthest to the south, as it isn't threatening anyone and I won't have to take penalties for shooting into combat.

They are all flying up between 10-20 feet so no penalties for any of them. The one furthest south is running away, You'll kill whichever one you hit.

In that case I'll kill the one next to the fennec and move up next to it.

Round 3
Initiative order:
Hecktor attacks, hits
Silas attacks, kills RC
Gared attacks, kills RC
Hobgoblins x2 both wounded -9/-8
Michael and Razorcrows x4

Fox bleeds out and dies end of round 4.

North HG picks up Axe. Provokes 2 AoO AoOMike: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 AoOdmg: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 AoOAdrienne: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 AoOdmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Adrienne's bite is fierce, but the force of Michael's swing causes him to miss the Hobgoblin. The Hobgoblin, near death, full withdraws screaming RUN BRUDDER, THEYS AINT EASY PREY He moves 60' north off the combat map.

South HG stands up. Provokes AoO from Hecktor AoOHecktor: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 AoOdmg: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9 Southern HG hearing his brother yelling, decided discretion is the greater part of valor, he withdraws 60' south off the map.

Michael you can choose to pursue one of them on your turn and I'll consider them dead no rolls needed, but you cannot get them both.
Percival you took your action already for round 3.
Lucanor you can take a potshot at one of them, the more heavily wounded one is to the north.
The razorcrows having no one to handle animal on them, flap off in different directions.

Combat over.

Silas will free the fernac from the trap as gently as he can, although he doesn't have the skills to stabilise it.

DC 10 str check please

Also, everyone has 1 full round of actions before the Firefoot Fennec dies.

"Poor thing", mutters Silas, "the least we can do is get you out of there."

Silas tries to release the trap like he was shown. Strength check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Can I get a hand with this, it seems to be stuck?"

Gared attempts to open the trap.

Strength check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

With a grim countenance, Gared braces himself against the ground and wrenches the trap open so that the fennec can be pulled from it.

Seeing the hobgoblins rush off, Lucanor moves to the cage and attempts to open it.
"Not my showing, fellows. Sorry about that."

Str Check 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

And then he casts a spell on the fox, not wanting to take any chances
Casting stabilize
Heal check to help it in addition 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Percival moves over to the fox and helps Lucanor tend to its wounds.

Heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

The Firefoot Fennec is stable and free.

You've been noticed by a mysterious faction. +1

Waiting on Michael to decide what he wants to do.

Percival sighs and, muttering a curse, pulls out the bolt and throws it to the ground. Examining himself and probing his wounds, he winces. "...ow. Remind me to prepare two of those healing liquids come the morning."

Lucanor eyes Percival's wounds, "You look pretty bad off. I'm no true cleric, but I can give you what little curing spell the goddess has granted me."

Hecktor looks at the wound Percival sustained.

"Lawson, the wound looks filthy. Better disinfect that before you use the healing liquids."

Hecktor takes out the flask of whiskey and a clean cloth from his pack , puts some of the strong alcohol onto the cloth and hands it to Percival.

"Looks like I took a scratch too from one of those filthy birds, I suppose cleaning it will hurt more than the actual attack. Aie that smarts! Ah, ah well it's done now. We probably shouldn't linger here if the Doctor is in a condition to travel, for we have far to go."

You guys waiting on something from me?
