No worries... it looked cooler this way =)

orcs wait for no man! Botting Jadashi

Jadashi moves over to his left taking cover behind a nearby column and firing another arrow, this time at the orc leader. His aim is true, and the shaft catches the orc in the shoulder.

The orc snarls in response.

"You face Mugek, Son of Krun." He bellows, in badly accented common. "I have waited for strong foes!"

He beats his drum again, as he steps towards Kahwen, drawing a wicked-looking blade with a faint bluish glow to it. "Your deaths will give me honor among the Black Suns!"

With those words, and almost no physical effort at all, he slides the blade past the tengu's defenses, sinking it deeply into his side. (8 damage to Kahwen)

- Round 2 -----
Liasna
Hadza; -1 hp, precise strike

- Round 3 -----
Jadashi
Malvic; entangled, precise strike
Kahwen; -8 hp, disabled (again!), precise strike
[Mugek; -4 hp]

Party is up! (though Kahwen is hurting!)

Kahwen barely has time to celebrate his success before the remaining orc approaches him.

"Ack! Magic swo..." He gets no further before that sword digs into his side. There is a spike of pain and then he feels undeniably woozy. He knows he can't take another hit like that and scrambles to get away, doing a back flip to get out of range of the sword before staggering back toward Liasna.

Acrobatics to avoid AOO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

"I'm hurt again!" He calls to her.

Ugh...I suspect he's not going to get very far...but assuming he doesn't get hit he moves as far toward Liasna as he can.

Actually: Correction on my part... I added 1 too many on the damage roll! You will only have taken 7 points of damage.
But, you still had 1 hp of damage from the previous fight...
So we end up in the same place.
8 hp's on the front line is always risky!

Oh, and its a dagger, not a sword... though probably felt like one to Kahwen!

Using acrobatics will count as strenuous activity, and will drop you into negative hp's (and unconscious) ... not counting any AoO yet...
You do however have the option of a restricted withdraw... but will only be able to move 15'

You could also delay, and hope Liasna can give you some hp's (she can channel, and doesn't have to move far to get you in range)... then you'd get your normal round.

Hearing the cry, but unable to actually see the Tengu, Liasna panics a bit, but moves in the direction she heard the voice from. Once she sees Kahwen, she stops - there are no other foes visible to her and going any further might bring enemies into her healing too.

She inhales, exhales, and then calls upon the Dawnflower to give succor to her allies.
Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 6

heh: ya, like that =)

Liasna is able to get close enough to see the sorely wounded tengu, and calls upon her divine patron to send a wave of healing energy outwards.

The pain in Kahwen's side almost completely goes away... though not all of it. At least the bleeding stops, and he is no longer in danger of keeling over from Mugek's blow.

- Round 2 -----
Hadza; -1 hp, precise strike

Liasna

Everyone not named Liasna, is up.

Kahwen, you can reframe your action if you want, as Liasna was still going from round 2, so went well before you in theory.

Jadashi shoots again after moves forward but without accuracy.

"They are trying to capture us!"

PerceptionBow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Hadza maneuvers around the broken walls and advances on the orc drummer. "I have no intention of dying," he counters as he swings his hammer.

Lucern Hammer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
B/P: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

After seeing his immediate threat drop Malvic tries to work his way out of the net.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Distracted by the large orc running a dagger into Kahwen he fumbles around not making any headway.

I did not know about the Acrobatics Check being considered strenuous...or the restricted withdrawal. Thanks for both. And being flexible. Oh, and Kahwen is definitely a glass dagger. I generally hope to get a good shot in before being taken out or having to retreat. Still trying to decide if I want to make him more durable as he levels or focus on delivering more damage.

Kahwen cried out to Liasna for help and was about to do something foolish to try to get away from the orc and his dagger (which he could now tell was a dagger. It was just the shocking perspective of it coming right at him that made it look, and feel, like a sword) when she sent a wave of healing energy out.

He sighed in relief as the pain faded to a much more manageable level. Meanwhile Hadza maneuvered closer and delivered a mighty blow with his giant hammer.

"My turn!" Kahwen said, quietly enough it might be lost in the pitched noises of battle as he took a measured step to line the orc up between him and the hammer wielder and swung a carefully aimed blow at the orc's vitals.

Elven Curve Blade + Flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14
Slashing + Sneak Attack + Precise Strike + Dirty Fighter: 1d10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + (5) + (5) + 1 = 20

Jadashi fires another arrow, but can't quite get a good fix on his target as it goes wide. At the same time, Malvic tries to free himself from the net, but can't quite get untangled... though the materials are crude, the net proves quite effective at its intended task.

Hadza moves in with his polearm ready, taking a mighty swing at the wardrummer in an attempt to draw his attention away from the far more fragile Kahwen. The blow nearly knocks the orc off his feet, as he staggers to the side, a shocked look on his face.

Kahwen attempts to take advantage of the distraction by sticking his own blade into the orc... but it deflects off the armor doing no damage at all.

Mugek snarls in response, as he finds himself suddenly sorely wounded, and surrounded. Once more, he beats a thunderous beat on his drum, then decides to focus on the nearer enemy first, as he thrusts his dagger once again towards Kahwen, this time aiming for his stomach!

But the tengu is ready for him this time, and easily steps aside before the short blade can come anywhere near!

"Surrender now! Come on idiot! We are more and better fighters! !

Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Jadashi shoots an angry roar at Mugek appealing to his Judgement.

The orc lessens the grip on his dagger like he actually thinks​ about this.

I am back!

Hadza circles around to flank with Kahwen and swings at the orc again. "You should fight someone your own weight, not my feathered companion!"

Lucern Hammer, Flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22
B/P, PS: 1d12 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 6 + (6) = 23

"Well, I don't have such a great constitution and..."

Hadza shuts his mouth by hitting Mugek's weakness. His head. The greataxe swings so hard that his skull crushs under the weight. Even with the legendary ferocity of the orc, Mugek can't plays with his drums any longer and fall into the ground.

Mugek gear's are one scroll, a wand, mwk chain shirt, mwk scimitar, a magical cloak and his magical dagger.

"Well, all's well that ends well, right?" Liasna says, eyeing the body suspiciously, as though he might get up to give his instruments another good thumping. "That said, is everyone alright?"

Jadashi looks at Hadza with respect.

"We have a great warrior here. May anyone identify this magical items? I may try to use the wand ... if nobody wants this dagger I will take it ... and his chain shirt looks fine ...

Kahwen bows to Hadza, left hand tucked against his chest, right extending his sword out behind him and to the side.

"Indeed, Friend Jadashi, Friend Hadza is a mighty warrior," he agrees.

He looks over the gear from the orc leader. "There is nothing here that interests me, unless that cloak would prove useful to me."

He then casts his gaze back at the battle, looking to see if there is anywhere else they are needed, particularly focusing on the caravan and the archers.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Malvic continues to struggle with the net as the battle finishes.

"Bah, stupid net!" he says frustrated.

Hah, since the battle is over can I take 20 on this?

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

[dice=Escape Artist]1d20+3

Malvic continues to struggle with the net as the battle finishes.

"Bah, stupid net!" he says frustrated.

Hah, since the battle is over can I take 20 on this?

[dice=Spellcraft]1d20+8

For the net, Yes. For the magic items no. I accept taking 10 which I can use for the following items. Scroll of glitterdust, wand of cure light wound (20 charge)You can't identify the 2 other magical items. The dagger have a moderate aura of conjuration and the cloak have faint abjuration.You feel that this dagger have a special ability. (i will reveal it all the magic items you cannot identify at the end of the part.)

option
1. Attacks the archers
2. Protect the convoy.

There 4 days lefts before the end. The defenders really need your help.

"Thank you," Hadza says simply before moving over to cut Malvic free of the net.

"We still have more to do."

"Shall we step back a bit to help defend the caravan? From the clamor, it sounds as though they could really use the help." Liasna suggests, gesturing back. "First, though, does anyone require healing?"

"Since Mugek was kind enough to leave us a new cure light wounds wand, I could use a dose of healing," Kahwen says to Liasna.

He will then wait (just) long enough for everyone, including himself, to get healed and claim their gear from the drummer before charging back to the caravan.

"As Friend Liasna said, 'back to the caravan!' There are more raiders to repulse!"

"Let's trade then, shall we?" she says cheerily enough, handing Kahwen his want back as she takes up this new wand. Pretty sure I only used it three times?

That said, she turns and promptly taps the Tengu with the wand. "How's that? Need another hit?" Looking to the others, she holds it up, noting, "Since we're about to dive into another fight, it probably won't hurt to top off even if it's only a small scratch. No telling when some small pain'll distract you in a fight, you know?"
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"You have my thanks." Malvic says still frustrated after being released from the net and not being able to identify the items.

He listens along with the new plan to head back to the caravan and nods.

The minimum from one shot tops me off and 3 uses of my wand is what I have listed,too. Thanks, Liasna!

The most vulnerable part of the caravan travels near the base of a cliff where the sounds of ever-louder chanting echo from a shadowy cave.

Slide 1. The cliffs have ample handold. (Climb dc 10) The white square are the caravan position. Your mission is to eleminate all the enemy and protect the supplies.

I knew I should have taken climb! Can we really only see the 2 enemies on the map?

"Enemies! Kahwen declares, aiming his sword up at the individuals he can see. He goes running off after taking a glance at the cliffs. They might be easy enough to climb but he is much better at falling than climbing so he follows the path instead of taking the direct route.

Yes, as the encounter is written, they will appear on their turn.

Hadza moves to guard the wagons and supplies and holds his pole-arm at the ready. "Guard the supplies. Do not let them draw you into an ambush."

Liasna nods at Hadza's words. "Fall back to me if you're injured," she instructs. "I'll try to provide as much cover as I can within thirty feet." She draws out and loads her crossbow, prepared to shoot.

"I will cover you with my bow. And if you need this magical dagger will do its job"

Local untrained: 1d20 ⇒ 181d20 ⇒ 8

Attack with my now readied, just before entering into melee combat.
I want mk chainshirt ... if nobody want it ...

"Excellent idea. Let them come to us." Malvic says taking up a defensive posture.

The party is ready for some orc to pass by. But they are not that suicidal.
An orc wearing a blue shirt who comes from the east takes a barrel of water from Malvic’s Caravan. Another barrel of water just lifts off by himself at the same place.
The shaman doesn’t speak a word while he climbs down the mountain. His human's ally follows him and shoots an arrow to the closest enemy. Kahwen. The arrow just grazes the tengu.

Kahwen ducks aside, narrowly avoiding serious injury from an arrow. He finds himself alone, having rushed ahead while his companions wisely stayed behind. Tempted as he is to charge ahead, there are two opponents before him, one of whom seems to have magic and he has been too close to death too many times to stray too far from healing magic for very long.

So, instead, he barrels back the way he came, glad he did so when he sees that there is a more immediate threat to the convoy and that Malvic is the only one near enough to stop it any time soon.

"They are trying to gaining more time! We have to fight them!"

He uses a spell (guidance) and try to climb.

Climb+guidance: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Rapier: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 + 1 = 2

Liasna, uh, can't quite see them. All the same, hearing Jadashi's call, she says, "Point me in the right direction! Which way are they?" She lifts her crossbow as threateningly as she can for someone with such limited vision. For the moment, though, she touches Hadza, granting him guidance since, you know, he can probably see.

Hadza moves down to defend the rear of the caravan.

Double Move

The shaman comes closer and cast a spell. (Will save to all except liasna.)

"Stop those barrels!" Hadza growls, frustrated by the appearance of the orc warriors and unable to give immediate chase. He tries to put down the raider in front of him.

Standard Action: Attack
Lucern Hammer: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
B/P: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Satisfied that the orc is dead, he scales the cliff.

Move Action: Move 30 ft, 10 ft climb + 10 ft move
Climb: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Climb: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

That's pretty good...the rest of the post depends on that either being a successful save or it not completely stopping him from doing anything.

Kahwen sees a raider trying to steal from the caravan. With his usual zeal he rushes over, swinging his sword in a violent arc at the orc.

Elven Curve Blade: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Slashing Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 5

"Begone roguish thief!" he commands with no sense of irony.

Seeing an orc apparently making off with his loot just at the edge of her range, Liasna scowls and aims before releasing her bolt. She winces as the bolt goes wide, but shrugs it off. She'd been perhaps a bit too worried about the barrel.
Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Still, it looked as though all of the action was happening at the rear. After confirming there wasn't anything going on at the fore, she starts moving back to join the others.

★★★OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT★★★

The clash of weapons and sounds of battle are all that remain after the war drums stop beating. The orcs and giants look around in a moment of panic. Where they once fought with cruel determination, they now fight with worried desperation.
