Legends of Cadranite (Inactive)

Game Master Fallen_Mage

Suddenly there came a sound at the door, the sound of keys being jingled as they are inserted into a lock.

You have a few seconds to get into position. Let me know when you're ready.

Hearing the sound Gashka sets the lantern down by one of the cells and gets back behind the door. She puts a finger up to her mouth to motion for the others to be quiet.

Ash moves into a ready stance a few paces in front of the door

Anyka will follow the initial charge, moving in to stab the ratman if he resists.

Gashka sees the others getting ready to charge as soon as the door opens, she has a thought and whispers to the one closest to her, "Be careful, in case it has Narima."

Flynt will ready to throw a rock at the rat-man.

Ok I go out and things move fast...last i was looking Terra was still in her cell? but I guess we are all free now.

before the guard was coming....

I wanna go, I wanna learn to fight.Terra is excited, but Jin and Anyka know Terra has no real fighting skill at all, having tried to teach her just days before all of this.

Terra's spirit will hopefully make up for her lack of ability and strength.

now that all that was said and all for naught anyway...

sounds like I get to fight after allTerra whispers with a smile. as she ducks to a hiding spot where she can get a flank on whoever comes through the door.

stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Jin takes position near the door ready to take any weapon the rat is carrying before he can draw it.

Sleight of Hand a weapon, take 10 on stealth = 25.

Tikkle stands in the middle of the room, making no effort for concealment.
He whispers to the others "Let him get a few steps in, so we can get behind him and keep him from running... Hopefully he takes the bait and comes for me..." Tikkle begins to chant softly, with a wicked Grin on his face "Panyaaa... come play panyaaa..."

Tikkle readies an attack if he's charged and an intimidate check for when the rat can't run away to make him give up and tell us where to go

Pharnox will position himself near the door and prepare his rock for throwing...

You hear the door unlock and after a few seconds, it opens. The rat is seen pushing the door open with its foot as it begins walking backwards towards you, dragging Narima.

Opposed Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Jin's Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Jin manages to take the dagger from the rat without it noticing.

Opposed Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

The creature is so focused on what it's doing, that it fails to notice Vallterra or Jin completely.

Pharnox and Flynt throw their rocks at the back of the beast's head.

Pharnox Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Flynt's Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Both rocks glance off the side of its head, causing it to drop Narima and turn around. At that moment, Asho rushes the thing and slams into it, causing the rat to trip over the unconsious Nagaji and fall onto its back in the doorway.

Tikkle, I'll let you handle the Intimidate, since I have no idea what you would say.

Round 1, Players Go!

Jin chomps down on the stolen dagger freeing his hands so he can scoop up Narima and move her to safety.

Taking Narima from Jin, Gashka gets her out of harms way before gently laying her down. As she turns around, there is a look of fury on her face as she glares at the rat.

-.-

LOL, so I guess we both had the same thought. Who is gonna move her? If I move her, you can hand the Dagger to Anyka or something. If you move her I can drag rat boy outta the doorway and trap him in here with us. Either way

eh, he brought back Najima, that's what Tikkle wanted to know, so he's gonna Charge

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
confirm Crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Raw Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2 so 4 if crit confirms
I re read how he came in, no flank bonus.

I don't know how close you were but it sounds like move action to get to her, move action to pick her up and move action to move away. Jin's was already right there. You could take her from me if you want, Miss 15 str.

Pharnox true to his own advice will move forward and try to kick the rat where it hurts...

attack1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18, maneuver Dirty Trick (kick to the groin)

I'm going to say Sickened condition?

Staggered would also be appropriate...

Okie dokie, that sounds good. You just hand her to me and then I move her out of the way, freeing you to do whatever else you want to do.

I'll edit my post then.

Okay, fixed it. :o)

@ Pharnox - Staggered is not valid as per RAW, however, sickened is.

Ohhhh, for the kick to the groin. I get it now...*slaps hand to forehead* I'm such a girl....

Just feels that it should be, at any rate has Pharnox succeeded at his attempt to make the rat no longer capable of siring offspring?

with a natural twenty on that nutcheck, I think he's just waiting for us to kill him now xD

The rat comes in and before Terra does anything everything is over, or at least well in hand.

Terra is just left standing there holding her rock.

ok I have no idea anymore. there is no point in me doing anything, all you guys got everything covered.

This seems oddly familiar doesn't it Terra? You could always help Gaska check on Narima or go to the door and make sure no one else is coming.

It was a bit chaotic with everyone running in different directions and doing everything at once. I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated, don't mean to make you feel that way.

I guess i could do that, but i do feel rushed to get a post out there, no time to weigh the situation and make a clear choice as to what to do

Terra moves to the doorway hoping to get the rat guy into the room. she checks the hallway(?) out there and if it is clear she comes back in closing the door.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

GMSCV - a suggestion for combat. You roll each of our initiatives for us, as well as the bad guys and put it in a post as a list.

Then, we can post our actions for the round whenever we like/in any order, but they only happen in initiative order.

That way, folks who post less frequently know their action will happen, and when; and those that can post whenever they like/often can do so freely, knowing that they wont impinge on other's actions.

Round 1:

Standard Action: Asho will search the ratman's gear and watch it for signs of waking.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

What size is it's leather armor/vest? Will it fit any of us?

You know, I'll try it. Next combat.

so what is happening?

Waiting on Anyka and Flynt.

Flynt is going camping for the next three days....wants to find a different job where I has weekends off at least so we can go camping again. Miss the huge bonfires....*sigh*

You know, I'll try it. Next combat.

Cool. It works well in other PbP's.

The other thing you can do is any time you pop in during the round write a list of actions posted, and let those that haven't posted know that they are up.

Then at the end of the round, do a wrap up of what happened, who is still alive, what conditions are in play etc...

I can link you to some posts by other GMs in PbPs...

With the rat under control Anyka rushes over to Narima checking to see if she is hurt.

Flynt ran up to the prone rat and screamed, "What did you do to my brother?!" And viciously kicked it in the gut.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Non-Lethal: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Anyka notices that Narima is still alive, but she seems diminished somehow.

Despite the beating its received, the rat tries to get a hold on Asho.

Grapple: 1d20 - 6 ⇒ (2) - 6 = -4

Asho manages to evade the grab, but the thing tried to roll away.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 2 = 12

Attack of Opportunity for Pharnox, Tikkler, and Asho.

Round 2 - Players, Go!

Terra: 1d100 ⇒ 42

Not this time Terra.

Jin returns his attention to the scuffle his grip on the dagger tightening, he places his other hand on Flynt's shoulder and says "Keep your voice down or you'll draw the attention of more of these jerks."

Ready to throw the dagger if the creature runs.

confident the corridor outside is clear Terra closes the door then goes to Narima.

Anyka? will he be ok?

Terra looks Narima over as well heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Pharnox calmly kicks at the rat, if one kick didn't keep it down a few more had to do it... Pharnox speaks in low elven, his voice under-lied with a tone of viciousness...

Rat, et arripuit gladium, ut iaculis sodales uti slit guttur eius;

Ash fends off the rabid creature's clutching paws. As the ratling rolls away he quicly lifts his rock up in a two-handed grip, attempting to bring it down on the creature's head. His strike is poorly timed, and he almost topples as misses.

AoO: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 - 1 = 8 [BAB, Strength, Power Attack]

Not sure of damage for rock - Asho gets +1 for Strength and +3 for two-handed Power Attack if he hits...which he didn't. How much damage does a rock do?

"She's breathing but something's.....wrong somehow. I don't know what." Anyka says, stress clear in her voice.

You missed anyway Asho. If you have one of the rocks that can be thrown, 1d4 Ranged, 1d6 Melee. I think Terra still has that larger rock.

Tikkle Stomps on the pathetic rolling rat. "Where ya goin little Panya?"

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
UAS Damage (Lethal): 1d3 ⇒ 1

Tikkle's actual Turn
he then leaps to the rat at the end of its roll and bares his sharp teeth and says to the Rat "Give up Panya! Tell us about this place and maybe we'll let you live!"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 Also hoping for a conditional for the cat and mouse thing and the royal Butt kicking he's in the middle of ;P

At the sight of the cat, some sort of primal fear grips the rat. In a high squeaky voice, he begins speaking, "Rizzle give! Rizzle give! Rizzle tell you what you want to know."

Combat's over now.
