Kingmaker: Stolen Lands of the Shining

Game Master BloodWolven

How deep is the brook I am hopeing easily waded by horse..

I think I'll stay on my horse, my riding skill is decent enough to not hurt me too much. I'm assuming we can't sneak the horses up to where Angeus and S'ala are though, right? I think I'd rather be on the road anyway though...jumping into the middle of that many bandits would probably just leave someone dead.

The brook is no more than a foot to two feet deep.

The sounds from the day would give you a bonus on your stealth check of +2.

Tristan you continue your act of being a bit drunk, do you have a flask or bottle out?

"Hey, how are you doing?" says a bandit who stands up and comes to approach Tristan. 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10 Sense Motive

Tristan stops singing and gathers his ballance, but still swaying his body.

He stares and squints at the man for a moment as if going through his head to remember him.

GREAT!!! Trinstan then begins to sing again and wonder forward. Taking another pull from his waterskin.

bluff being drunk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 add +2 if he is Human

Kevros holds his position and takes a knee for more concealment.

"If you are doing so well, I think you should share, come sit down with me." The bandit believes that you are drunk and wants to join.

Kevros holds his position and waves over the ladies if they are about to pass him. He then aims in on the bandit and waits for Tristan's noticeable signal or if he gets into trouble.

S'ala whispers to Angeus:"Is there a target we should focus on for this attack? Should we creep up closer for when the battle commences? This One can move silently if needed?"

Narcissa and Siph join Kevros.

Sala and Angeus continue sneaking up in the foliage.

Quince and Masota on their horses wait for the signal.

We wait for Tristan to interact with the bandit.

too bad pathfinder doesn't play out like a action movie but lets go for it anyways.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 +2 for humans

Tristan looks around to see how many others have taken notice of him. Assuming Tristan sees the bandits at K2, and K3 he looks back to the one addressing him. Tristan nods and approaches the fallen tree to sit.

Yes yes come let us have a drink together. He hiccups... He eithert sits with the man or waits for the man to sit. He then hands him the waterskin and puts an arm around the man and begins singing again. As the man leans his head back taking a pull from the water skin Tirstan methodically punches and rips through the bandits throut with his spiked gauntlet.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

damage: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Tristan you do not see the bandits at K2 or K3, though you do see the bandits at K1, the campfire and they notice you as well.

Tristan you silence your drinking buddy.

You think you got away with it, until two arrows shoot down at you and yelling commences from the tree above. "Intruder, he killed Hedrias."

1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6 bow attack with elevation
1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 2 = 14 bow attack with elevation

One of the arrows go wide as the other one deflects off your armor.

*means action already taken or cannot act

Angeus and Sala, you are in difficult terrain, it will take you two move actions without stealth to get where your tokens are now.

Masota and Quince, I think it will take you 3 move actions to get to where your tokens are presently.

As the shouting starts in the camp, S'ala will begin his move, clambering over dead limbs and around thorn branches, to get into position in case the bandits approach this way. He has spear in hand. He will try to keep up with Angeus and stay within site distance so they can support each other if need be.

Tristan will use his move action in the surprise round to ready his shield.

Looking up at the two that shot at him with a bit of a sadistic smile.

Eeny meany miny moe which one of you gets my javelin I throw.

[ooc] Who's a closet bard,hmmm?{/ooc]

As the shouting starts in the camp, S'ala will begin his move, clambering over dead limbs and around thorn branches, to get into position in case the bandits approach this way. He has spear in hand. He will try to keep up with Angeus and stay within site distance so they can support each other if need be.

Cursing quietly under her breath, Angeus will also keep moving .

Neither of you, Angeus or Sala, did a stealth checks nor said anything about moving quietly, so I will take it as standard moves through the difficult terrain.

Kevros and Quince, you are up for Surprise Round.

Yeah, Angeus will take a standard move to get closer, then re-engage her stealth.

As stated before, S'ala will mirror Angeus, trying to stay even with her in a skirmish line.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Right, a stealth roll would help :)

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Surprise Round

Quince spurs his mount and takes to the brook assuming that they won't trap the water not to mention kick up water and noise to take some of the heat off Tristan and those still hiding.

Surprise Round

Are those bushes or trees on the map? If they are bushes, can Kevros see any of the bandits? If they are trees, he comes in closer quickly stealthily and hoping that the sound of battle will mask his careful progress forward for a better vantage.

Quick Stealth Movement into position: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Kevros, mostly trees, though there is still pretty good foliage, if not in the bandit camp or on the trail, every other square is difficult terrain.

Kevros I moved you. You think you are still hidden, or at least not noticed.

You all can hear a loud whistle.

Since your actions are not likely to affect each other in Round 1, feel free to post when you can. If you are not for sure how much you need to move to get to where your token is presently look back at my previous posts.

*Round 1*

18 Bandit K3*
15 K1 Bandits*
15 Kressel*

13 Angeus
10 Masota
13 Tristan
9 Sala
8 Kevros
6 Quince
5 Stalker

6 Bandit K2
1 Siph
1 Narcissa

Kevros you think that Tristan is taking fire from trees on the other side of the brook and the trees just to the East of him...

1d20 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 - 4 = 5 bow attack with elevation against soft cover.
1d20 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 2 - 4 = 11 both arrows missing their target.

The bandits that were around the campfire get up and begin to approach Tristan, they are chuckling at their numbers against him. Each pulls out a weapon of some kind on their way over, long swords, short swords, and clubs. "You will die slowly for killing Hedrias." One of them threatens.

A female in leathers comes out of the large tent under the 'compass rose', she has several weapons on her back and holds a throwing axe and a dagger. "Play with him boys, but once any other threats show up, you know what needs to be done."

Was I able to get to my tokens position in the surprise round? You had said we needed a tripple move how much of that was done?

Round One

Quince continues his rush up stream as fast as he can.

My goal is between Tristan and the K3 bandits.

Oh, no you shouldn't worry about what to do if more show up, you should just be worried how you will handle me.

Tristans attention turns to those on the ground as he moves forware 10'(20'difficult) while drawing his blade. As he bases the bandit he takes on a defensive stance much like a sword lord of Brevoy and cuts at the bandit in his path.

attack defensively: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Current AC: 25

What can Angeus and S'ala see from where they are. Will be get to our target location next round? Where are we right now?

Wolf said 2 turns needed to get into the position we show on the map, more if we move stealthily. I think one of those is past.

Hearing the whistle and the shouts of the bandits, S'ala turns to Angeus. "It sounds like the ambush is sprung, perhaps we should hurry forward rather than creeping. We may get there too late otherwise?"

If she concurs, S'ala will run forward to a position from which he can see any action, then will stop and evaluate. If Angeus wants to creep, S'ala will stifle his disagreement and follow her lead.

Quince you are now at your token, unless you attempted to have the horse run, then you could in a straight line be closer.

The bandit that Tristan has struck has a good sized wound though he is not downed.

Angeus and Sala if you move stealthily, you will get to where your tokens are at the end of Round 2. Running would be a bad idea. A double move would allow you to move your tokens 15 feet forward.

More arrows shoot from the West, but these strike the bandits around Tristan, they fall from the arrows striking into their chests, perhaps even through the chest, or head.

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 bow attack, 1d8 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 8 + (1, 2) = 19 arrow damage.
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 bow attack, 1d8 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 8 + (1, 6) = 23 arrow damage.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 bow attack, 1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (1, 6) = 17 arrow damage.

One arrow for each bandit around Tristan... All three strike home and all three bandits fall to the ground. Don't get on Stalkers bad side, LOL.

"Nay, if you wish, run ahead. I will try to remain hidden ." Angeus whispers to S'ala.

She then continues on quietly.

S'ala nods his understanding, and follows the rogue letting her set the pace.

Are any of the bandits within sight of Keveros. If not, he continues to sneak into a good position.

Kevros the nearest bandit to you can easily be seen, if you stand up fully and shoot there should not be any concealment.

The two enemies above Tristan shoot down upon him. *B2*

1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27 bow attack with elevation. 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 arrow damage.
1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12 bow attack with elevation. 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 arrow damage.
1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 2 = 21 bow attack with elevation. 1d6 ⇒ 4 arrow damage.

Of arrows shot only one hits its target, Tristan you take 10 piercing damage as an arrow is now sticking out from the top of your right shoulder.

Siph and Narcissa slowly come up to follow Kevros. Siph gets her foot stuck in something and tries to free it.

Masota keeps up with Quince.

More shots from across the water aimed at Tristan.

1d20 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 2 - 4 = 15 bow attack with elevation against soft cover. 1d8 ⇒ 6 arrow damage.
1d20 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 - 4 = 8 bow attack with elevation against soft cover. 1d8 ⇒ 6 arrow damage.

The bandits swarm Tristan, well what is left of them.
Tristan gets an AoO on the North one.
1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9 short sword attack with flanking, 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7 long sword attack with flanking, 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Kressel moves forward and throws her throwing axe, 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 4 = 13 axe attack in combat, 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 axe damage.

All missiles and attacks directed toward Tristan miss in this barrage.

Kevros stands up and fires his precise shot at the Bandit in Line of Sight of him ...

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 1

Ammo = 4/5

Oh so very wrong! A one! ... :-P ...

Sorry guys I meant **Round 2**

Round 2

Kevros stands up and fires his precise shot at the Bandit in Line of Sight of him ...

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 1

Ammo = 4/5

Round 2
S'ala continues following Angeus who at last count was sneaking.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Not sure if that loud snapped branch distracts the bandits from combat or not?

Round 2

Angeus continues to lead S'ala through the brush, trying to indicate where to step to remain silent.

Stealth 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Hearing the snap of a branch behind her, she looks over her shoulder a S'ala, a slightly chiding expression on her face as she brings her finger to her lips and mimes making a shushing sound.

Round 2

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Tristan takes the arrow and contiues the assault on the bandits around him.

Attack Defensivly: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Current AC: 25 HP:16/26

Round 2

Quince moves up stream and cuts off the bandits coming from the west.

That would be the 2 coming from K3. I doubt I can reach them this round.

Quince without a perception check you don't see them. 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 Perception Check. No neither of you see the bandits initially when you ride up.

Sala and Angeus are one move away from their tokens.

With Tristan's defensive strike he downs another of the bandits.

The two enemies above Tristan shoot down upon him. *B2*
1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24 bow attack with elevation. 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 arrow damage.
1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 bow attack with elevation. 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 arrow damage.
1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6 bow attack with elevation. 1d6 ⇒ 6 arrow damage.

None of the arrows strike true, but deflect off Tristan's armor or he dodges them.

Siph is still having trouble with her foot and Narcissa tries to gives her a hand.

More shots from across the water aimed at Tristan.
1d20 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 2 - 4 = 16 bow attack with elevation against soft cover. 1d8 ⇒ 2 arrow damage.
1d20 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 - 4 = 8 bow attack with elevation against soft cover. 1d8 ⇒ 6 arrow damage.

Since his leader is still watching, and he knows her wrath he continues to fight. With only a small scratch on his back.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 short sword attack, 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Kressel moves forward and draws her hand axes, 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23 handaxe attack with flanking, 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 handaxe damage.
1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15 handaxe attack with flanking, 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 handaxe damage.

All missiles and attacks directed toward Tristan miss in this barrage yet again.

That is still where I wanted to get to because it is the straightest shot to get near Tristan and I am guessing water is not trapped.

Round 3

During Kevros Initiative

Unless someone attacks Kevros directly, he continues to attack the bandit with the scratch on his back with precise shots.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 9

Ammo=3/5

Round 3

continue with the sneaky monk routine.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Round 3

What do red "X"s mean?

Quince turns east and makes his way to the small clearing to attack bandits that are around Tristan.

I am assuming even with the difficult terrain I should be able to engage one of the bandits this round. I am aiming for the first one standing. If the Red "X" means dead then I am going to attack the one currently engaged with Tristian.

Attack Morning star: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
damage Morning star: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Attack Scram Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
damage Scram Bite: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Attack Scram hoof: 1d20 ⇒ 15
damage Scram hoof: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Attack Scram hoof: 1d20 ⇒ 2
damage Scram hoof: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Red X's = Dead, Gone, No longer Living, Worm Bait, Potential Undead Candidates, etc ... LOL

In that case I cast animate dead.

Well not that they are dead, but down at least. They could be dead, like the one who just got shot by Kevros and hit by Quince with his horse. That bandit drops with many wounds...

The two enemies above Tristan shoot down upon Quince, an easier target. *K2*
1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25 bow attack with elevation. 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 arrow damage.
1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13 bow attack with elevation. 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 arrow damage.
1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11 bow attack with elevation. 1d6 ⇒ 2 arrow damage.

Siph and Narcissa still having troubles.

Only one of the targets make their target, Quince you not have an arrow in your shoulder, 11 piercing damage.

1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5 bow attack with elevation. 1d8 ⇒ 2 arrow damage.

Kressel with hand axes out strikes at Tristan, 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 handaxe attack, 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 handaxe damage.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 handaxe attack, 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 handaxe damage.

Misses all around.
