Round 4

"Damn boy's gonna get hisself killt."

Lockjaw casts about for anything to hit with his axe.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Unless he sees a threat on the ground he will attempt to climb to the action after stowing his shield and axe.

Not sure if I have enough actions for that but I'll put the climb check here.

Climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

I'm back. The *'s are school specialist spells which Daeron has to take, transmutation school. I'll edit the profile for easier spell checking.

Daeron clambers onto the roof, seeing a noosed priest battling for air whilst being clobbered relentlessly. Finding himself some room, Daeron slips his into his pouch while rubbing slick butter between his fingers, uttering smooth arcane words unremembered, silkily pointing an elven finger at Karrak's form. .

Casts Grease at Karrak's armour.

"Spell checking"...LOL

STR: 12/14
HP: 10/21 (plus 12 pts nonlethal)
Channel Energy 3/4

The priest is unable to resist the beatdown he is getting. Karrak falls over unconscious.

Round 4:

Chitleen attempts to follow the others unto the roof...
Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Would I have a standard action left?

If Karrak goes down before Daeron manages to cast, he'd aim the grease at the attackers instead.

sounds like Mankato may be limited in his ability to post so i'll just cover him until we hear somthing. Daeron- thanks, you'd have to take an AoO to find a place to stand on the roof after Chitleen is up. you can still target the manbats from your location though.

Karrak falls as Mankato unleashes a flurry of blows against the nearest creature. Unfortunately, his strikes are blocked by chain armor. Lockjaw slings his shield on his back and puts his axe into a loop as he climbs the stairs behind Chitleen. The fragrant elf better prepares for his ascent this time and with a jump and a bounce he launches himself onto the roof behind Mankato. sure. action, Chitleen.

With the roof crowded and it's integrity uncertain, Chitleen does not dare reach for alkahest. Instead his talwar flashes forth, seeking blood...

Talwar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

...and finding it, managing to nick his own leg.

How could Daeron avoid an AoO in this matter? Daeron's highly cautious nature would loath to give a free hit if he could avoid it. If none are available, he'll hang by the side and try to identify the creatures.

Knowledge, Dungeoneering?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Chitleen's tulwar flashes as he is in the action. Unfortunately, an unstable footing leads to a panicked thrust that slashes open his pant leg. A sheen of oil covers the northwest corner of the tower as Daeron casts his spell and nearly causes one of the manbats to slip. However the nimble creature retains its footing and both move on Mankato as the robed man behind them quickly binds the unconscious dwarf.

Dropping their saps, the beastmen revert to claw and fang. The first does slip in the oil as he attacks and though managing to stay up, his attacks are foiled. His companion however releases an assault of bestial fury biting and slashing the stoney monk. Mankato- 7 bite, 5 claw, 5 claw. fort DC 15.

Round 5

Lockjaw

Daeron

map.

Daeron- the roof is a little bottle necked at the moment, but as I said you can target folks up there.

Brother, this time we need silvered weapons to ensure a sound hit with our weapons.

Deducing the new combatants as werebats, Daeron calls out advice from a distance.

A brief whisper of words later Daeron covers his form with a shimmering field of force.

Casts Mage Armour

Daeron- in round 3 I had you cast gravity bow since I wasn't sure what you'd do. we could say you cast mage armor then and choose a new spell to cast this round if you like.

Will do.

Daeron continues his arcane whispers and points to the robed man, occupied with tying up Karrak. Flares of arcane force unerringly erupts from his finger tips, striking him.

Magic Missilex2: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

Round 5

"Werebats? What tha hell?"

Lockjaw will once again equip his axe and shield.

Can I get into the fight from where I'm at without a ranged weapon?

Mankato attempts to spin past his foes and attack the robed man.

acro 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
unarmed strike 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
damage 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The man is injured and then further harried by a twin blast of arcane bolts from Daeron. Mankato assault leaves an opening for Lockjaw to drag himself up onto the roof and into flanking position with Mankato.

Lockjaw and Chitleen actions.

Round 5:

Eyeing the patch of ensorcelled slipperiness with a jaundiced gaze, Chitleen does not risk moving and instead stands in place and attempt to improve upon his previous assault...

Talwar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

On G,-1

Lockjaw will haul himself up.

Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Lockjaw- i'll just use your previous climb roll from round 4, but are you going to act on the information that you'll need your silver morning star?

Sadly I didn't find out I needed it until I left it behind at my pack. :D I'll detect evil, if they're evil I'll smite the closest one and thus bypass DR.

Round 5 Take 2

Sorry for the confusion on my part all.

Lockjaw clambers up and smites the closest werebat for daring to touch his priestly friend.

"And a heapin' o' Torag's warth fer ye!"

Smite closest, +2 AC vs. him. Attack roll at a 12 would've been 20.

Mwk Waraxe Cold Iron Smite Power Attack: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Chitleen's tulwar flashes in the faint light of the setting crescent moon and cuts through coarse black fur, but the wound mends immediately leaving no trace of injury. Lockjaw's blessed axe strike is not so easily ignored however. The creature emits an ear rending shriek and gawks in disbelief as cold iron hacks into its chest and the holy weapon foils his resistance.

Under attack from the stone monk and arcane missiles, the robed figures howls in outrage and hurls his robe back as he instantly transforms. As his face twists into the horrid visage of a vampire bat, he shares a look of recognition with Daeron and the elf realizes that this is the same shadowy figure that offered to guide them from the dwarf bridge, but disappeared with his family leaving only voracious bats to haunt the tower.

Now he launches into a flurry of claw and fang with his companion upon the flanked monk, who defends himself well enough only to receive a telling claw wound. Mankato-5 hp (@ 5/27)

Hard pressed, the monk is unable to land a solid blow.

Round 6:

Grimacing as his weapon is proved mostly useless against the foes before him, Chitleen's mind begins to race.

Can he stand in the F,1 square?

Chitleen- you'd have to drop down to the stairs again. columns 1 and 2 on the map are open to the lower floor.

Suspension of disbelief won't let me worm my way into Chitleen having his bow and arrows on him as he was rudely awakened while sleeping - bugger.

Though all Chitleen manages is a burgeoning headache. His skymetal arrows a distant memory below, Chitleen attempts to strike again with his talwar... hoping for a lucky blow...

Talwar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Daeron continues his ranged assault, giving a flicker of recognition when he notices the goat herder from before. However with the packed landing, Daeron picks the most accessible foe and tries to pincushion him.

longbow attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

let's see what Lockjaw can do.

Round 6

Lockjaw swings again at his smite targets.

Mwk Waraxe Cold Iron Smite Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d10 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Apparently I can do...nothing useful. Damn.

Still groggy and unused to close quarters combat, Chitleen can't land a solid blow. Daeron's arrow hits, but to little effect. The manbat focuses on dodging the glowing axe and Lockjaw's swing misses as well.

Mankato shifts from between his assailants remaining near the fallen priest and receives another bite from the leader.The monk remains standing, but looks like he is flagging quickly. Mankato- 1/27

The others turn on the paladin. The one in the grease is distracted by the slick floor beneath him and misses, but his companion rakes the dwarf with his claws. Lockjaw- 5 and 4 hp

Why are you attacking us? We have done you no harm before you attacked us.
Diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Round 7

"All that matters is they're fightin' us now."

Attack Smite target.

Mwk Waraxe Cold Iron Smite Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 281d10 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 232d10 + 16 ⇒ (3, 5) + 16 = 24

"Dinna think that one'll make it."

Mankato's query is met with a high pitched tittering laugh as the leader responds, "Why are we attacking you? Because fresh dwarf flesh brings the best price!"

The laughter becomes an angry shreik when Lockjaw's axe sprays dark gore as it plows the wounded manbat from collar to groin. The leathery wings flap jerkily as it collapses and its life blood skitters across the greased floor.

Elves up.

Round 7:

Seeking to assist Karrak, Chitleen risks putting feet within the grease...
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
...barely managing to retain his footing as he moves to Karrak's side. He then tries to wrench the dwarf from the clutches of the manbats...
Pull Maneuver: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Move to immediately above Mankato - then try and pull Karrak straight North.

Daeron dismisses his conjured grease with a thought before he starts another arcane spell, pointing at Lockjaw, willing him to go big.

Enlarge person, Lockjaw.

Chitleen skids over the bloody corpse which has transformed back into a jug eared Garundi man. The elf grabs the bound dwarf and prepares for a struggle. Right behind him Lockjaw suddenly looms, filling the tower top with his growing bulk.

And with that, the tide of battle has turned. The werebats spring into the air flittering soundlessly through the dark night back toward the mine entrance above deprived of their prey for now.

Lockjaw can take an AoO if he makes his DC 10 acrobatics check against the grease.

Acrobatics Unenlarged: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Acrobatics Enlarged: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18

AoO Unenlarged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 81d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
AoO Enlarged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 192d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8

"What in tha?"

Lockjaw sways precariously on the roof.

Not sure if the Enlarge goes off before or after the AoO so I've included both sets of rolls.

The over-sized Lockjaw gets a departing strike, but it is awkward and only a glancing blow that does no lasting harm to the lycanthrope. Then the assailants are gone.

"I'm a big'un! Too bad, damn bats. How's the boy?"

Lockjaw will look for a safe way off the roof before checking on Karrack.

No need to break my neck on the way down.

Chitleen drags Karrak and the dead man-bat back into the tower proper before he takes some time to rifle through the lycanthrope's pockets.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Moving back into the tower, Chitleen does a quick inventory of the dead lycanthrope's gear. He finds an expertly crafted chain shirt with more standard scimitar, sap, and noose. There are also a pair of alchemical thunderstones.

"Hey boy, get up!"

Lockjaw shoves a grimy paw at Karrack.

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Sighing "He has very little of worth or identification. A pretty shirt, but naught else. Does Karrak endure in this world?" turning to Lockjaw.

HP 16/21 (with 6 pts nonlethal) if I figured that right. Anyone else injured?

Karrak sits up with a bolt. "TORAG SMITE YOU!!!!....Oh, Hi Lockjaw." He looks around. "You saved me...What were those things?"

"Eh, dunno if he indurs but he's kickin'. Welcome back boy. Torag done smote fer tha day, tha werebats be gone."

Still groggy..."Where? Bats?"

If no one minds, I think I am going to sit down and trying to take it easy. I was not quite up to defending myself as well as I should have.

Mankato takes it slow and steady to get back down.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Once everyone has made their way off of the roof, you find that Karrak and Mankato have suffered grave wounds. Lockjaw restored Karrak to consciousness at least, but all will need some rest.

Nothing disturbs you rest for the rest of the night and it is mid-morning before the wounded stir. Chitleen steps outside the door a moment to relieve himself and reports back that he heard the sounds of labor over on the far side of the lower motte.
everyone regains 3 hp and all non-lethal

I am sorry but I am really hurting as I am sure our blessed healer is. I purpose that we take the day and rest unless something is more urgent.

Before sleeping Chitleen would have drank a Cure Light Extract for: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Awakening to Mankato's words Chitleen does not dispute, but muddies the waters "Over the far side I heard some works of labor... it might pay to discover it's purpose" and with a wry look above "And perhaps to mend the roof?"

Before Sleep
25/34
Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 5
30/34

Lockjaw will offer Mankato some healing as well.

"Yer lookin' like smashed rock, lemme help."

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 5

After Sleep

33/34

Lockjaw shrugs into his armor once again.

"They keep attackin' at night I ain't takin' this off no more."
