Ian says "I am a little weary after this travel we should head to the woods to camp out. Of course we need to build the cage."

sorry if I was holding things up by you guys waiting on me. I was kind of waiting for us to move on...

Well then, let's quickly leave town and be on with this.

I'm just waiting on DM prompting/descriptive text/drastic plan-changes. What we intend to do seems all set.

right...

You travel into the woods, finding a safe place to camp hidden away from the village and away from the cave systems. You have a little while to prepare your selves for the meeting

Ian will quickly start building a cage and after he is finished he will rest.

right roll craft (woodwork) or profession (carpenter)

profession carpenter
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

"Why go through all that effort when we can just keep him bound and tethered?"

Ian the cage you made looks sturdy and will hold

Ian replies to Caelash "If we bound him he might be easy prey for a wild beast." Ian then gets his bedroll out and preapers to rest.

how long will it take to get to the beach where this meeting will take place

I will take first watch.

Ian says "I will take last watch."

my armor is light armor so I will be sleeping in it.

Ian replies to Caelash "If we bound him he might be easy prey for a wild beast." Ian then gets his bedroll out and preapers to rest.

"Somehow, I don't feel as if I'd miss him that much. Cage or no, I still say we keep him bound and tethered."

Ian says "Ok" and then lays down and tries to get some rest under a tree.

Caelash climbs up a tree and does the same, tying some of his silk sashes to make a comfortable cot in the boughs above.

Ian doses off to sleep after a few minutes.

snore

zzzzz...

sorry i haven't posted lately, my week has been mental, i'll post what happens next tomorrow

Ian rolls over in his bedroll.

During the middle of the night you hear the sobbing of a woman echoing down the forest, a few moments after it starts, you hear a the woman's voice screaming followed by a chopping noise of someone being cleaved in two

Ian hears the noise and gets out of his bedroll and stands up from being prone. He wisphers Grusk "Do you see anything a light will give us away" Ian then looks around to see if he can see or here anything more into the darkness.
perception
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Who was on watch Grusk still?

Uriel's watch

Ian

Ian whispers "Someone is approching"

What are the light conditions?

Caelash stands in his perch and readies his bow, trying to remain hidden.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 (low-light vision)

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

If our tracks were followed, remember creatures suffer a -5 penalty to follow Caelash's tracks, so they may not be aware he is with the party.

Uriel looks into the darkness and prepares to throw a bomb if need be or to draw his scimitar.

perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Sorry I didn't post earlier after the update but I have been working second shift this week from 1530 to 2330.

Uriel whispers, Remember that there was both a warrior and a mage of some sort back in town. Be ready.

I am thinking darkness as it is one day until the new moon.

Ian draws his greatsword.

yes its very dark

Caelash

Uriel

How far away are they since I can hear them? Dark or not, I have darkvision

about 120ft away from the camp and closing in

While waiting for the noise to draw closer, Uriel drinks his mutagen and feels the strength flowing through his veins.

the creature moves closer, and is now at around 60ft away

Uriel

Hmmm. We have a beautiful woman,. wearing fur and carrying a bloody sword in each hand walking toward us. Hopefully, she was coming to give us a visit and took care of a dangerous spy watching us. But, maybe not. Prepare for battle just in case.

With that, Uriel draws his scimitar and stands ready, staring into darkness.

Ian says stupid darkness still cannot see her and cast light on his greatsword.

Forgot to mention that Uriel's scimitar emits light. He is, after all, a Paladin of Sarenrae.

Since there is light and I assume it is like a torch and the sound I heard is about 60ft away I think I should make percpetion check. To see if I see the woman Uriel is talking about.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Ian you do see the woman, just as Uriel described her
Uriel

With lowlight vision and two light sources in the camp below, do I see her as well?

yes

"Mam, keep your distance and state your business" Uriel states then speaks more quietly to his companions..."Her twin swords show signs of evil. Be wary and keep on the watch for others."

she drives her swords into the ground, and places her hands above her head "I've come to talk to you, I'm looking for my father, you where the last to see him"

If your father is the mayor, we have him bound for his part in a cult and involvement with the situation threatening the village. Do you have any information regarding this?

she replies in a cold and threatening voice "That... is quite unfortunate" she then waves her hands and utters a few arcane words before you see the ground below you disappearing

everyone if you will, roll a reflex save followed by your initiative

reflex save
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
initiative
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Since I've been holding/readying, I'd like to shoot the crap out of her before her action takes effect.

Swift Action, use 1 point from Arcane Pool to grant +1 atk/dmg to bow for 1 minute.

Bow Flurry (Perfect Strike on Both: roll twice, take higher)
1st Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12 (+1 more if height advantage); Damage 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 + (1) = 6
Perfect Strike: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 1 = 25 (+1 more if height advantage); Damage 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 + (3) = 14

2nd Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 = 26 (+1 more if height advantage); Damage 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + (1) = 9
Perfect Strike: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27 (+1 more if height advantage); Damage 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 + (1) = 12

Initiative for after the surprise round: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Is that 1 concentration check at DC 36 + Spell Level, or 2 different concentration checks, one at DC 24 + spell level, and one at DC 22 + spell level? I forgot how that works with injury while casting rules, and it is not entirely clear.

alright, Caelash, you've hit her a few times, i'll have to check on injury/casting...

Only the second roll of each attack counts, so I should hit her twice (once at 25 to hit, 14 damage, and once at 27 to hit, 12 damage).

reflex 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

initiative 1d20 ⇒ 18

Caelash waits in anticipation, the moments feeling like days.

Ian agrees with the moments feeling like days.

so rolls
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Recoiling from pain from the attack Caelash manages to stop the attack
so initiative:
Uriel& Caelash
Ian
Woman

Uriel and Caelash act...
