"I've died more than once before, it is of no consequence"

Aklo

Kiriko scans the street outside the Inn again, while keeping an ear on what happens downstairs and a dart ready in her tail.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

"It would seem, then, that your kings have given you a message to deliver," Bennevy says, switching back to the Common tongue. "Otherwise, you would not be here. We would just be slaughtered and be done with. What is this message, and who is meant to hear it?"

"What transgression and what ruler?"

The tone used by Sid make that half a question and half a growl.

"Oh there is no message for you yet. If you can survive the night you shall be left to know"

Kiriko

"If the purpose of this guy was to intimidate us, with me he was successful. I mustn't show it."

bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Sid is evidently shaken.

To Benenvy: "He has said something more in that strange language? How is that you speak it? You know something?"

"The language is an ancient tongue called Aklo. The fact that it understood and responded in the same tongue is important. The first time I spoke to it, I spoke in infernal, and it did not reply," Bennevy replies, not bothering to lower his voice.

"I have told you all it has been willing to divulge. It appears to be a harbinger of doom, not a diplomat or messenger. It also appears to see us as little or no threat, as it has made no attempt to avoid being surrounded by us."

He sits down at the bar, and removes his journal, ink, and quill from his pouch. He then addresses the Stranger in an inquisitive, but businesslike tone.

Sid strain to get and memorize anything the two say, even if he don't comprehend the language.

Tomid looks at the creature with new interest and a little fear. Guys, I think he is recommending we run. We cannot fight from that wall of bones headed our way. I might can hide from it, cause I am good at hiding, but the rest of you might not, and if the thing just destroys everything in its path even hiding will not help. I say lets grab what we can and get.

Aklo

The man points at the barred door, "A bit late for that don't you think?"

"Well, for an immortal being, you are of little use," Bennevy responds in Common.

He closes his journal, restoppers the ink, and returns them to his pouch.

"Perhaps we should hide. It was nice chatting with you, Useless Messenger from Beyond. Best wishes for your next unlife," Bennevy says as he moves away from the bar.

Knowledge religion (is the Stranger undead?): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"If there's an escape route, we should take it, after..." he says to the rest of the group, leaning on the last word.

Kiriko moves to the stair, transfering the dart into her hand and drawing a dagger with her tail.
stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

With some uncertainty Sid move in a flanking position and prepare a Bless spell to be cast if a fight start.

Ready action: cast Bless if a fight start, centered on Sid

Bennevy

The man starts laughing in an eerie manner. Suddenly you guys hear a loud banging at the doors. "Ah, well seems like the show is about to start!"

Sid takes a step back and cast Bless.
If we have the time before the initiative roll: 5' step to avoid an AoO and cast Bless.
2 fist level spells used of 4. If needed concentration +4

Bennevy reaches out to touch the Stranger, muttering something.

Touch Attack with Cure Light Wounds: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Roll to confirm Bennevy

Touch Attack Confirm Critical: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Yike! looks like we are in initiative…

initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Don't forget to roll initiative Tomid

[ooc]Hmm. I did. But its not there… I predict 13 - which is what I rolled before. Did I forget to submit it? /ooc]

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Alright so initiative order is: Ian, Aklo-man, Kiriko, Skeletons, Tomid, and finally Bennevy

So Ian you're turn, what do you want to do?

has The Aklo-man notived Kiriko? And how far is he away from Kiriko?

You don't think he has, as to how far away, he's about 45 feet

"Belief in evil burns," Ian says as his fire of belief targets the stranger.

touch attack and damage - only affects non-good opponents: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Well, it would, if I could hit <<grin>>

I should've noted that Bennevy's touch attack did seemed to hurt the man

His turn, he is going to rip a sword out of his cloak and ready for combat. Unfortunately for him that provokes attacks of opportunity from Ian and Bennevy who are next to him.

Then its Kirio's turn

Pullin a weapon does not normally provoke.

Melee scimitar and damage : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 121d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Its because it was hidden, he is literally pulling it out of his cloak by ripping the cloak open

Are Ian and Bennevy in position to be flanking the Aklo-man, or are we both simply adjacent?

Just adjacent

Bennevy attempts to touch the Stranger again with his power.

Touch Attack with Cure Light Wounds: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Did I fumble and accidently heal Ian?...chuckle..

Kiriko moves closer, trying to not make a sound. 'We need to take him down quickly, whatever his true purpose is. Aiming for his spine should work, whether he is undead, human or an outsider, as he apears humanoid."

stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
move(stealtyly) 25 ft towards the man
after closing the distance the kunoichi flings her dart at the mans neck , transfers her dagger from her tail to her hand and drawing another dart with her tail.

hit: 1d20 ⇒ 1
damage+sneak attack: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (3) = 5

Gotcha. Pulling a weapon from a ready sheath does not provoke but getting out out of backpack likely would. Tomid was standing on the bar weapon out and adjacent to the enemy but I think was still flat footed so no aoo from him.

My bless has been cast before the start of the fight and is helping the others or I will act at initiative 10?

It should be in effect, so guys don't for get to use it

Right so Bennevy and Kiriko both fail to hit the man, who elegantly doges out the way effortlessly. As he does so you start hearing pounding on the door. 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

So Tomid and the Bennevy your turns.

Bennevy draws his short sword and lunges at the Stranger.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 +1 more for bless

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Tomid will move to a flank before attacking, 5' stepping if possible. if not he would have to tumble.

Wakizashi: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 = 251d4 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (1) = 6

Confirm: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 121d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Sid move 5' trying to put himself up for flanking (I think Kiriko will benefit from it next round) and attack using his morning star in 2 hands.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Ian don't forget to take your turn

Bless: Bless fills your allies with courage. Each ally gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects.

It was cast before the start of combat, so with my attack it s the 2nd round has started.

Bless +1 to attack, +1 to saves Vs fear 2/10.

Melee scimitar and damage with bless: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 1 = 231d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

roll to confirm and damage: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 41d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Bennevy's attack missed, but Tommid, Sid and Ian managed to get some good hits on the man, though he is still standing strong. He turns on Sid and attacks with his small sword
To hit 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

He also lunges a claw attack at Bennevy
To hit 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Kirko your turn
