RETCON ALERT!!!!

Morrigan killed pugwampi #1.

Bahram targetted pugwampi #2 and did 1 damage to it.

Belros targetted pugwampi #2 and did (because of bless) 2 damage to it.

Pugwampi #2 now has 5 damage.

Bahram, get under cover, instead of sitting out in the open.
Boramyr reaches across the chairs to tap Bahram on the shoulder

Divine Favour: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Standard convert a divine favour to a CLW

Anaara attempts to find another foe to weaken, taking a cautious step to her right, and wills her already active curses to continue.

Cackle, five foot step to the right. If that puts me in line of sight to another of them, Evil Eye hex to AC. (I don't think it'll quite get me in line of sight, though.)

Having finished knotting the rope, Kat tosses it up over the rafter nearest the balcony where the pugwampi's are hiding.

Attack (throw rope over rafter): 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 1 = 14 <-- not sure what the DC is, but I assume 14 should make it
Unluck: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 1 = 20

Move, tie the rope so that she can climb.

Bahram takes another hit and realizes he is all but completely useless now. nearly all daggers gone, and his luck has proven he is incapable of doing much.

He ducks behind some cover.

stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
stealth unluck: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Morrigan fails to blind a pugwampi

Katenui throws a rope over a rafter and ties it so that she can climb up.

Noonan misses with the bow.

Bahram ducks behind some cover.

Anaara A witch needs to be within 30 feet to affect a creature with evil eye, and cackling is a move action. So, I'm going to take the liberty of moving you into the middle of the lower chamber in order to be able to target one of the pugwampis next turn. If you want to do something different, please let me know

Anaara cackles and moves into the room

Belros fires his Longbow +5(1d8 / x3) at pugwampi #2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d8 ⇒ 1, but fails to hit.

Boramyr heals Bahram.

====== Next Round =========

Pugwampi 2 (5 damage) (-2 to attack) fires at Belros: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 2 = 20
Pugwampi 3 (3 damage) fires at Belros: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Pugwampi 4 (-2 to attack) fires at Belros: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 2 = 6
Pugwampi 5 fires at Belros: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Belros takes 2 damage

Morrigan

Boramyr

Here, you seem to be hitting better than I can.

Boramyr passes Bahram his crossbow and remaining 15 bolts.

Belros, take cover as well you

He then reaches over the chair and taps Belros on the shoulder

divine favour: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Move to pass crossbow, standard to burn divine favour for CLW

Round 4?
With the rope secured, and partially concealed by the mist, Kat begins to, foolishly she believes, climb up the rope to be able to engage the annoying pugwampi face to face.

Move: Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 vs DC5
Unluck Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Unable to initially make any progress, she tries again to get up the knotted rope.

Standard: Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 vs DC5
Unluck Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Yup, the dicebot hates me today.

Noonan is in the zone!
Bow,Bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 171d6 ⇒ 5
unluck: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Works for me.

Ah, finally. Anaara smiles and begins to chuckle to herself, willing her curses to continue and leveling a hex at the closest target she can see with a sonorous chant. Let's make you a little easier to sink an arrow into.

Move action to cackle, standard action to Evil Eye AC on the nearest pugwampi.

Active Effects: Bless

Morrigan aims at pugwampi #3 and fires another crossbow bolt.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Cold Iron Bolt Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

"Gotcha, you foulspawn! The Dark Prince will take pleasure in torturing your soul."

Move action to reload. 15 cold iron bolts remaining.

Bahram takes the crossbow and bolts. loading it he takes aim at the bugger that has been giving him the most trouble (actually fires at #2)

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

his aim with the crossbow is just as bad as his daggers.

Morrigan Miss chance because they are up in the rafters: 1d100 ⇒ 39
He hits the pugwampi, which falls to the floor below.

Katenui attempts to climb up the rope... Twice!

Noonan
Miss chance because they are up in the rafters: 1d100 ⇒ 46
Hits his target, which falls to the floor..

Bahram misses with his crossbow.

Anaara cackles and attempts to evil eye the pugwampi: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Belros GMBOT ignores the call for him to retreat and fires his Longbow +5(1d8 / x3) at pugwampi #4: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d8 ⇒ 5 With Morrigan's blessing still in effect, Belros hits

Boramyr heals Belros.

Pugwampi 5 fires at Belros: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Morrigan

Boramyr

Active Effects: Bless (The bless isn't mine. I think Kate cast it. I just like to list what spells are affecting me in case you aren't sure where my numbers are coming from.)

DM, you have pugwampis #4 and #5 still alive. On the map, they are numbered #2 and #3.

Morrigan just keeps firing. Targeting #5.
Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 46
Cold Iron Bolt Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Morrigan almost crits a pugwampi but shoots him in the face all the same.

"Their numbers are dwindling. Keep it up."

Move action to reload. 14 cold iron bolts remaining.

Round 5
Seeing another one of the pugwampi's fall to the floor, Kat, rather than again risking falling to the ground, instead holds her position just within the edge of the concealing mist.

Action: Total Defense - AC23

Round 5

Boramyr continues to maintain his cover while he draws out his axe.

Seeing her targets dwindling, Anaara wills her hexes to continue and levels a glare at the closest pugwampi.

Move action to cackle, standard action to Evil Eye #5 for AC.

Doing his best to keep cover from more pug arrows. Bahram loads another shot and takes it.

attack on 5: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
again: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

After the shot Bahram simply drops the crossbow.

hell with it, I give up. and he simply takes cover.

Morrigan

Boramyr

Round 6

Seeing yet another pugwampi silently fall, Kat continues to hide in the mist, waiting for someone to come and tell her that the battle is over, or that she is needed.

Action: Total Defense

Seeing Bahram drop his crossbow in frusteration, Boramyr puts his axe away, and then picks up his crossbow and loads it.

Unluck: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 37

Not this time.

Move action to reload. 13 cold iron bolts remaining.

We seem to have this well in hand. Anaara wills her curses to continue and holds her position. Though I hope there isn't too many more of these foul beasts in here.

Move action to cackle. I could hex him further, but I think we've about got him.

Morrigan misses.

Katenui continues total defense.

Noonan misses.

Bahram continues hiding.

Anaara cackles

Belros GMBOT fires his Longbow +5(1d8 / x3): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d8 ⇒ 2

Belros takes 1 damage.

Morrigan

Boramyr

Kat continues to stay in the mist trying to ward off any attacks that might come her way.

Sorry for the lack of action. Between the bad luck and lack of a ranged weapon, there is not much that Kat can do at this point.

Action: Total Defense

Morrigan moves to the center of the room shouts at the remaining pugwampi, "Your companions are all dead and you soon will be too! Know fear as your wretched soul draws closer to eternal torment!"

Intimidate to Demoralize: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Intimidate to Demoralize: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
+4 for being larger size. I forgot I could add the size bonus the first time I intimidated. DC 13 for a standard pugwampi. If successful, the pugwampi is shaken for 1 round (–2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.)

Anaara simply wills her curses to continue with a small smile. We are nearly victorious, Katenui, she murmurs, before remembering that Kat can't hear her.

Move action to cackle, staying where I'm at. It's the way it goes sometimes, Kat - sometimes there's just nothing you can do.

Should probably step out of the mist to get the pugwampi to shoot at Kat since she will have a AC of 23 with total defense.

Noona shoots
Bow,Bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 151d6 ⇒ 4
Unluck: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Conceal: 1d100 ⇒ 17

Torag guide my aim

attack 2: 1d20 ⇒ 9

damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Morrigan intimidates the pugwampi.

Boramyr misses.

====== Next Round =========

Pugwampi 4 (-2 to attack) (-2 to AC) (-2 to saves) (intimidated) (4) fires at Belros: 1d20 + 3 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 2 - 2 = 11 and misses

Morrigan

Boramyr

Boramyr goes through the now familiar act of reloading his crossbow, and then tries to hit the last pugwampi.

attack: 1d20 ⇒ 18
attack: 1d20 ⇒ 14

damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Plink. :(

Anaara wills her hexes to continue, then steps inside the mist and lays a hand on Kat's arm. We are nearly victorious, my lady, she tells the woman with a smile, hoping the mist is clear enough for Kat to see her lips with them next to each other.

Move action to cackle, five foot step next to Kat.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 151d6 ⇒ 2
unluck: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 77

Active Effects: Bless

"And now you die!" Morrigan aims up and fires at the pugwampi once again.
Hopefully for the last time.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 64
Cold Iron Bolt Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Move action to reload. 12 cold iron bolts remaining.

Kat, upon feeling the touch upon her arm, turns and looks at Anaara. Seeing what was said, the oracle of the sun nods in understanding.

How many are left?

Just one, and it has met a certain amount of...misfortune. Anaara gives a mischievous smile.

Bahram sits in hiding, clutching the borrowed crossbow. luck has not been in his favor.

he loads the bolt wondering if he should take the shot.

he still feels the pain from the creatures attacks. he ponders his next action, finally he pops up to take a shot at the creature.

attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6
attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14

and the bolt flies off no where near any target past or present.

he ducks back behind the cover, wondering why in the 9 hells he is here again.

Morrigan fires his cold-iron bolt, which lands true.

The pugwampi grasps the bolt in his chest, and falls to the floor below, dead.

Combat over

To the southwest in the rafters, two huge sections of these rafters have been engulfed in a sort of nest, comprised of a patchwork of random bits of cloth.

Anaara pokes her head out from the mist, sees the final foe fall, and turns back to Katenui, tapping her arm. We are victorious. She walks out from the cloud and examines the nest from below, looking for anything that stands out. Kevi, who had hidden in Anaara's original refuge during the fight, pokes her head out, sniffs, and darts over to Anaara, curling sinuously around her legs and following her gaze to the ceiling.

Anaara Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Kevi Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

She calls from below to her teammates in the rafters. Do any of you require aid?

I prepared a Cure Light Wounds that I didn't end up using to get folks back up this morning since the caravan had a healer, so I've got some healing if anyone needs it.

Morrigan breathes a sign of relief as the last pugwampi falls.

She holsters her crossbow then looks up at the cloth nest. "I'd be surprised if these vermin have hoarded anything of value but I suppose we need to go up there to confirm no more of these creatures are hiding out."

Morrigan moves up to where Kat has secured her rope and gives it a strong tug to test if it is strong enough to support her weight.

Strength check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

As long as the rafters don't come down on top of her, Morrigan turns to Katenui and gives her a big toothy smile indicating she did well.

"When we're done here, we'll want to burn these corpses too. We don't want to attract any carrion scavengers with a free meal."

Bacon rejoins Morrigan as well, running up and nuzzling at her leg.

Slinging his crossbow over his back

A little scuffed up here, but I think we will live.

He then digs into his pack for his grappling hook.

How wide are the beams ?

The beams appear wide enough to walk on -- perhaps a foot wide.

Kat nods to Anaara, and then, having already secured her rope close to where the nests are, will climb up and see what they hold.

Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 vs DC5 - should make it

Kat has 2 first level spell slots, she can cast CLW if needed.

Boramyr puts his pack back on when he notices that the beams are wide enough to walk on, and slowly makes his way across to the nest.

Will move half speed to ensure I have something to hold on to.

Noonan sighs in relief as the last pugwampi dies. About time! He keeps a wary eye out as the rest of the group starts investigating the nest.

Bahram breathes a sigh of relief, the blasted fight is over and he has nothing to show for it except a few small arrow holes in his shirt.

I forgot who I borrowed the crossbow from

He then hands the crossbow back to its owner, the sights must be off, I think you better get it checked out.

Bahram then goes about finding all of his missing daggers.
before heading toward the nest.

best not get to far in case you want me to scout things out. but I really need to find my knives first.

Already claimed it back Bahram. :)
