You will believe a triceratops can fly!

Much scarier (and cooler) than flying monkeys!!!

Agnar takes the time to enhance his protections, casting another spell as he eyes the fort and ponders what to do.

"Didn't bring my battering ram. No one told me we'd be assaulting a keep today."

[ooc]Casting shield of faith.

Moving onto the rooftop platform gives Katerina a commanding view of the village and surrounding area. Close-set logs provide cover to anyone standing a watch. A single barrel sits in one corner of the platform, while opposite sits a large oil-burning brazier.

Pushing the Large spriggan body out of the way, Katerina can find a trap door. I'm going to say you were not able to open it this round, what with the Large body in the way.

Spike flies out of the pit past Kereek and retreats toward the mist though he can't make it fully inside, where he and Prazil here Agnar casting his protective magics.

Orin rushes toward the fort, trying to get out of range of the bolts, which come flying toward Spike, one of them hitting the dinosaur's tail 7 hp.

What kind of weapons do the spriggans wield? *NM* found it-Morning stars...

Katerina tries the trapdoor's handle, wary of any crossbow bolts coming her way from the defenders inside.

Move to open (if it's not latched/locked) and then... I will jump in if it can be opened, and it's not too far a fall! :D

Kereek lets out a long suffering sigh in Agnar's direction. "Why am we needing Pork Chop? We am having SPIKE! SPIKE AM BATTERING LIZARD!"

Kereek flies back up to the top and heads after Kat.

They all look the same, Prazil!

That's Agnar, Kereek. You are so bad at mixing up the bigfeets sometimes! =P

Wheeling around, Spike looses a trumpet-like bellow as Prazil spurs him out of the edge of the mist and, a few inches above the ground, back toward the fort and through the front door!

Break: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

OOOOOH YEAH!

Make mine Cherry! Oh YEAAAAH!!!

Orin? Agnar?

Agnar waits for Spike to get clear, then moves for the fort, trotting around the pit and through the now open door.

Kereek flies up to the roof in time to see Katerina drop down into a room, where she finds herself face-to-face with a Large spriggan that swings wildly at her as she falls.

Spike, now flying, slams into the door, shattering it to reveal a hallway inside, though the dinosaur himself is too big to fit in it.

Orin and Agnar move into the hallway, just dodging an arrow fired through arrow slits in the interior wall. Just to make it easier, you'll discover the door at the far end appears to be barred as well.

Kereek peers down into the room with Kat and the giant. "Kat-a-REE-na? Am you needing Kereek help?"

Seeing Agnar and Orin come under fire as soon as they enter the hall, Prazil spins Spike around and brings the dinosaur charging back, this time into the very walls of the fort. "Hey! Stop shooting Agnar and Orin! Walls am not for stopping Prazil and Spike!"

Break vs wooden wall: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30 forgot to add in Agnar's prayer in my previous rolls for this. doh!

Spike'll try and burst through a section of the exterior wall, 10 feet either to the left or right of the door - whichever side the attack on Orin and Agnar came from. Success would breach a 10x10 section of the wall.

typical wall stats

This is the last round of Prazil's sharing of Shake It Off!

Less than 10' Drop? Kat auto-succeeds her Acrobatics to take no damage nd lands on her feet

Landing on her feet with a muffled thump Katerina faces off against another giant gnome. Her blade has found it's way back into her hand and she lets the weight lead the dance. She spins round, her hair following in a cornsilk colored arc. She misjudges the distance slightly and her blade swings wide of the spriggan. She refocuses, adjust her footwork and swings again, coming up from the floor towards the thing's groin. The spriggan nimbly blocks her slash with it's morning star.

"Looks like I am needing Kereek help!" she says through gritted teeth.

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 miss!

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

We need new dice. Gad a different PbP and rolled an average of 4 on four consecutive attacks :/

Kereek nods sagely. "Kereek help am VERY useful!"

Scorching Ray!: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 4 = 13 for 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 4) + 4 = 19 fire damage!
Scorching Ray!: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 4 = 14 for 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 5) + 4 = 23 fire damage!

"Here's a pick-me-up. See if you can't get that door open," Agnar says to Orin, casting a spell and laying a hand on his shoulder, bolstering his strength with divine aid. Then he shoulders his bow and takes his shortspear in hand.

Casting bull's strength on Orin.

Katerina: Sorry, was a 20-foot fall...

The spriggan blocks Katerina's blows, but has no defense against Kereek's rays, which prove to be too much for him. As he falls, Katerina sees an opening into a hall behind him, while a door leads south.

Below, Spike slams into the wall, which buckles under the dinosaur's impact, opening up more of the hallway to the exterior. The bolt came from deeper into the fort, so not a wall you can easily attack.

With Agnar's spell infusing Orin with strength, the half-elf slams his shoulder into the door at the end of the hall, but it refuses to give. Another bolt comes flying out from the far side of the wall, the aim seemingly thrown off by the building-shaking collision a moment earlier.

All good ;) It explains why she missed! Slight sprain :) Falling Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Katerina steps off gingerly towards the west...

She goes towards the open area, leaving the door for later. Not sure what she sees, so have to hold off on what else she does :)

You see a hallway that goes to your left and right, arrow slits opening to the outside. You can gather that the archers who filled you with arrows out front are probably in that direction...

Kereek flies in after Kat.

Katerina moves off towards where she thinks the archers were shooting from. Put an end to that nonsense.

Agnar moves up to the arrow slit from which the last bolt came, and jabs his spear through at the crossbowman. Not sure what, if any, penalties are applied to the roll, but... Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Spike surges forward again, slamming into the slitted wall directly across from the opening he just punched in the outer wall. Prazil then pulls him back, making room for Orin and Agnar to slip through the newest breach. "Orin! Agnar! This way!"

Break: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Rubbing his shoulder, Orin turns around and goes outside to see what Prazil is shouting about.

Katerina rounds the corner to find three more spriggans, clearly the archers. The nearest one drops his crossbow and snatches up his halberd, swinging at the swordswoman. She knocks the blade aside with a quick push of the haft and quickly retaliates, sword point finding a hole in the surprised spriggan's armor.

The second says something in a language she doesn't understand as he too switches weapons and the third takes off at a run down the corridor, turning the corner out of her sight. Behind her, Kereek enters in flight. The remaining spriggan quickly gestures and a burst of light flares in Kat's face. DC 10 Fort save or be dazzled 1 min.

Below, Prazil smashes down another section of wall, making a difficult path for Orin and Agnar and revealing three surprised spriggans. All three drop their weapons, one ducking an arrow from Orin, and hack fruitlessly at the dinosaur in the rubble.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

No more mistakes!

The fort is being rocked by a series of solid shocks, like a catapult's stones smashing the walls. Sounds like Spike got out of the pit. One of the spriggans throws a distracting flare in front of her, but she ducks her head toe avoid the worst of the light. Still, Katerina steps into the spriggan she just slashed, her blade opening up the 'gnomes' gut. She spins past the falling corpse and slashes at the next opponent. Her blade cuts deeply, and she smiles, satisfied.

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 for Damage: 1d8 + 14 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 6 = 23

Attack second Spriggan, PA: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 for Damage: 1d8 + 14 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 6 = 27

Full attack, drop the first spriggan (regaining that point of Panache), 5' step and slash the second.

Kereek nods in appreciation as the swordswoman dances among the giants. Suddenly he stiffens, and peers at her closely. "Kat-Kat, you am not for having spider in Kat stomach? No spiders in Kat-Kat, eh?"

If the gnome-giant still lives, Kereek will send a scorching ray at him!
Fiery Bad Touch: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 4 = 14 for 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 6, 3) + 4 = 18 damage!
Fiery Bad Touch: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 4 = 6 for 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 5) + 4 = 24 damage!

Prazil and Spike jab and stab at the leftmost spriggan, though Spike's horns get caught in some of the ruined wall and pull his head to the side, spoiling his strike. Prazil then backs Spike out of the fort, making room for Orin and Agnar to press the attack.

+1 Lance: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21for: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Spike Gore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12for: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 5) + 9 = 20

Standards: Jab & Gore
Move: Back out of the fort (just 10 or 15 feet, enough to be clear of the rubble and structure), provokes AoO's

Disrupting her rhythm slightly, "What?"

lol!

Agnar hustles after Orin, muttering something about bringing a siege engineer next time.

Katerina cuts through the first spriggan and steps up to the next, leveling a vicious slash the splashes the walls with blood. Kereek hits him with a fiery blast, but undeterred, he powers his club into the swordswoman. She's able to knock the first blow aside -- barely -- and return a stroke, but the second catches her painfully. 10 hp

Below, Prazil jabs one of the spriggans before backing out, Spike suffering a small wound as one of the spriggans hit his head 1 hp.

Orin and Agnar step up to fill the void, weapons flashing, though the spriggans suffer only one small cut between them in the exchange of blows.

Hello?

This one didn't drop as fast as the others... Katerina steadies her racing heart and keeps working. Her blade sings through the air as it carves swathes of hide from the spriggan.

Attack; PA: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 for Damage; Precision: 1d8 + 14 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 6 = 25

Attack; PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 for Damage; Precision: 1d8 + 14 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 6 = 23
Threat Confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 for Damage: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

If the Threat Crits, she goes back to two points of Panache and will Parry/Riposte. If it does not confirm, she will have to take her lumps :)

Sorry, busy few days at work and home.

Kereek frowns as the gnome giant still lives. Maybe his fire was getting rusty?

Fast Dismount (DC 20): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

Prazil stows his lance in the holder on Spike's saddle, slips down off the dinosaur's back with practised ease, and follows Orin and Agnar deeper into the fort, drawing his hammer as he goes.

Move action: stow lance
Free action: swift dismount
Move action: move up beside Orin or Agnar, draw hammer as part of the move

Attack the nearest opponent.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9; Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Katerina cuts down the spriggan but on the first blow, so no crit ever happened as Kereek watches the quick, bloody work. He catches a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of a third spriggan ducking back into the room they earlier emerged from.

Below, Prazil joins Orin and Agnar in the breach just in time to see the half-elf cut down one of the spriggans. The remaining two fight back furiously, one exchanging blows harmlessly with Agnar, but the other landing a glancing blow on the half-elf. 1 hp

Orin exchanges blows with the spriggan that struck him "Time to end this." he says to no one in particular as he bunches his muscles to add power to his swing.

Attack roll #1 (power attack): 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 - 2 = 24
Damage: 2d4 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 7 + 6 = 15

Attack roll #2: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 2 = 25
Confirm Critical: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 2 = 8
Damage: 2d4 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 + 6 = 17

can Kat hear the spriggan headed for the escape hatch? Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 Also, to confirm, the spriggan icon in front of Kat is not really a spriggan anymore, is it?

Kereek can tell you about it, Kat. And ... I see no icon in front of you. You must be seeing things.

Kereek points out the fleeing spriggan. Could I have popped off my scorching ray before it disappeared out of sight? If not, I'll move after it and use my rolls from last post, please.

Katerina turns on her heel and goes back the way she came. Twisting past Kereek, she pus her back to the outside wall of the fort and approaches the opening. As she clears the opening, she finds herself right where she wants to be: face to face with her opponent! "Surrender if you value your life!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Aid Another (Orin's attack): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Success! +3 to Orin's next attack

Seeing one of the spriggans fall, Prazil slips around Orin and into the passage where their foe stood just a moment before. The stalwart kobold then harries the foe beside him, crushing toes and batting aside its weapon to make an opening for Orin's deadly blade.

"Where am Varnholders?! What did you do to Varnholders?"

Kat threatens the trailing spriggan, but it proves to be for naught as Kereek incinerates him moments later, before he has a chance to make any reply.

Below, Orin takes advantage of Prazil's distraction and beheads one of the remaining spriggans, while Agnar jabs at the other's throat, though it manages to pull back in time to avoid the worst of it. He swings back, but the near death throws off his aim, and his halberd skids off Agnar's armor.

What are the boxes in the hallways?

Prazil presses in on the remaining spriggan, leading with his shield high. His hammer swings in low, cracking loudly into his foe's knee. "You am not for answering Prazil's question! Where am Varnholders?!"

Mwk Warhammer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21for: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Seeing Prazil going for a disabling, rather than killng, blow Orin twists his sword at the last moment striking with the flat of the blade rather than the edge.

Attack roll #1 (power attack, non-lethal): 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 13 - 2 - 4 = 25
Confirm critical: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 13 - 2 - 4 = 12
Damage: 2d4 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 + 6 = 17

Attack roll #2 (power attack, non-lethal): 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 2 - 4 = 9

Kereek looks sheepishly at Kat. "Sorry! Kereek am not knowing we am wanting them alive. Kereek am not killing next gnome-giant, yes yes?"

It's ok, just tell me later why you think I have spiders in my stomach! First let's see if we can get downstairs some how."

If the boxes are murder holes, Kat might try to slip through one-she is skinny and has some Escape Artist :)
