Quzman, Jameena, and Dumah are up!

Eager to bring down the gnoll in front of her before more arrive, Jameena unleashes a veritable whirlwind of rapid scimitar slashes.

Quzman, Jameena, and Dumah are up!

Sorry, I forgot to deduct the eardrum bleeding attack.

Quzman smiles as he sees the Packmaster fall to the ground and looks up towards the next group of gnolls. "Come, let us see how well your blades can dance." As he deftly dodges the blows from the gnolls ahead of him, Quzman slices and cuts as fast as he can against the trio.

AC 24 HP:55/24 inspire courage haste

He will start with the one on the left, but will change targets as the gnolls, hopefully, fall.

Dumah's Fort save vs. Carrion Guard's arrow strike: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Dumah will move the flaming sphere to K8. DC 16 reflex save or 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4, 6) + 3 = 18 damage. He'll take a total defense action.
Current Hit Points: 37/45. AC 20.
Spells active: Haste, Mage Armor, Endure Elements, Resist Energy (fire).

Eli successfully feints guard, but the gnoll still lives.
Jameena wounds the guard, but he still lives.
Quzman kills one guard, wounds another.
Dumah feels the poison coursing through his blood, suffering 1d3 ⇒ 3 points of Con damage, losing 12 hps from his maximum.
Gnoll save vs. Flaming sphere: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18..success!

Eli hears the elite Carrion Guards talk in Gnoll and they both step toward him!

Carrion Guard attack on Eli: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25..hit
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Carrion Guard attack on Eli: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17..miss

The 2 gnolls in front of Quzman flank him!

Carrion Guard #1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31..hit, possible critical
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Carrion Guard #2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15..miss
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Confirmation roll: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16...no confirmation

The archer gnolls shoot Quzman twice, but amazingly the ranger stands, covered in blood.

Archer #1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24..hit
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Archer #2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26..hit
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Three more gnolls, normal looking ones, armed with bows appear from the north!

Updated Map

Party is up!

Eli grunts in pain as the Gnoll opens his flesh, then steels his eyes saying, "It will take more than that to slow down the Sand Stalkers of Kelmarane. I hope you have had time to say good bye to your fleas..." Eli ducks between the two Gnolls, twirls ,and slashes at the Gnoll whose blade is red with Eli's blood.

AC:21; hp:43/15
Round 6 Inspire Courage

5'step to Row 18 (gives Flank w/ Jameena)
Move Action, Bluff to Feint against Gnoll in Row 19 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Attack vs Gnoll in row 19 w/ Inspire, haste, Combat Expertise 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Damage+Cold+Sneak Attack 1d8 + 1 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (6) + (2, 3) = 14

Already wounded, Tempest punctures the gnoll's armor, perforating his heart, spraying blood on Jameena, as he falls dead to the floor.

Eli

Petty, Eli. Real petty. It was just jostling for position. Spraying her with gnoll blood? Let it go! Really, let it go.

LOL !

Ty begins firing at the archers who had recently presented themselves, knowing there was no way for the rest of the party to stop their attacks at this moment, beginning with L3 and moving leftward if they fall.

Attack One with Manyshot 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
and 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Attack Two 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 and
1d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

I have never critted with manyshot before, but I think I added correctly. Still a x3 multiplier, I believe.

AC 22, DR 2, HP 54/59, under Effects of Haste and Inspire Courage

Quzman gasps in pain from the multiple strikes, but grits his teeth and concentrates at the task at hand. He is determined to destroy what gnolls he can before they challenge the rest of his "tribe". Starting with the gnoll next to his friend, Quzman spins and whirls while attempting to fight off the gnolls surrounding him.

Attack(scim):1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Damage(scim):1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

AC 24 HP:55/2 haste inspire courage

Seeing Eli, Dumah and Quzman all stagger under new wounds, Jameena does not hesitate, but raises her holy symbol high.

Dawnflower, lend your healing grace to these heroes. Channel energy on all Sand Stalkers - 3 LoH uses left 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 6) = 10

AC 23, hp 48 of 54

Waiting on Dumah...

Move the flaming sphere to J13, DC 16 reflex or 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4, 5) + 3 = 17 Damage. Dumah will again take a total defense action.

Current Hit Points: 25/33. AC 20.

Sorry, I have been in training all day.

Dumah Fort save vs. poison: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13..failure..lose another 1d3 ⇒ 1 points of Con...down to 10 Con, no hp loss
Gnoll save vs. Flaming sphere: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7...failure

Eli skewers a gnoll

Gnoll attacks Eli but misses

Gnoll attacks Quzman and hits, drawing deep blood. However, the fear in his eyes is palpable, as his shocked face realizes that Quzman still stands..At 0 hit points!
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Carrion Guards shoot arrows at Quzman but they bounce off his breastplate and they move back 30 feet, shouting and howling to the north, obviously for reinforcements!
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21...miss
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10...miss

Party is up!
Updated Map

DM, my action shouldn't interfere with Eli, so I'm gonna post now, since I'll be away the rest of the evening.

Ty continues to blast arrows at the enemies. Looking in Quzman's direction, he sees the warrior staggered from blood loss and attacks that particular gnoll first. Assuming he finishes that gnoll, he turns his attention back to the archers, right to left.

Attack One with Manyshot 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
and 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Attack Two 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Attack Three 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Haste Attack 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Possible crit 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
and 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Wow, Ty was on fire that round!

After firing his arrows, Ty moves forward 5' and attempts to get Jameena's attention. "Jameena, some humans just killed your gnoll prisoner and looted the scene before heading in the other direction!"

AC 22, DR 2, 59/59 hp

Tyronel rains death upon his enemies and kills all the gnolls but for the gnoll next to Eli!

AC: 21; hp: 25
Round 7 of Inspire Courage (last one for the day)

"Huzaah, Sand Stalkers are on fire!"

Eli continues his onslaught of attacks against the gnoll enemy.

Full Attack
Attack 1 w/ Inspire, haste, Combat Expertise 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Attack 2 w/ Inspire, haste, Combat Expertise 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

With Quzman about to fall, Jameena does not hesitate, but once again lets the healing of the Dawnflower flow from her.

Dawnflower, lend your healing grace to these heroes. Channel energy on all Sand Stalkers - 1 LoH use left. 3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 4) = 14

As Ty calls attention to the humans down the hall, she responds "Call out to them, and see if you can get them to wait. They must be the escaped slaves these gnolls were hunting. We need allies and a place to rest if we are to conquer this place. I have already expended most of my healing."

AC 23, 54 of 54 hp

Assuming combat is over, for a second at least, Ty quickly pursues the humans he saw. "Stop, we are here to help you! Come back!"

Assuming combat is over, for a second at least, Ty quickly pursues the humans he saw. "Stop, we are here to help you! Come back!"

Actually, since I'm pretty sure Eli's attacks missed, there is still one gnoll standing. But I'm certain it will meet a gruesome fate real soon.

Quzman gasps in pain at the wound from the gnoll's blade, but he shows the gnoll a look of grim determination. Sighing audibly as Tyronel's arrow takes the gnoll down, he turns to Dumah, "Come my friend, we must regroup, as I fear another wave is more than I can stand right now." Quzman staggers back towards the others.

Move to J21

Quzman draws a deep breath as the warmth of the Dawnflower flows over him, courtesy of Jameena. "Many thanks. The gnolls are fierce in packs, but this lone one should prove no problem."

I thought about a partial charge, to try and kill him as I dropped from blood loss, but didn't want to risk it and have to spend the round getting up collecting weapons.

AC 24 HP:55/12 inspire courage haste

I believe Dumah can just reach the last gnoll with his flaming sphere.

Damage 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5, 5) + 3 = 17 if fails a DC 16 reflex save.

Fort save for poison 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Cursed filthy gnolls! Dumah leans heavily against the wall for a moment, his breathing labored, before following the stalkers.

Jameena looks at the pale Dumah with concern.

"My divine healing is useless against the poison. Do any of you have anything that might help him?

I really need to do my homework on filling out the healer role. I don't even have a dose of antitoxin.

Get after the men Ty saw! Don't let them get away! I'll finish this last gnoll and join you. If I can.

Assuming combat is over, for a second at least, Ty quickly pursues the humans he saw. "Stop, we are here to help you! Come back!"

The humans do not stop and continue to run, turning a corner out of sight of Ty's gatling gun...i.e. bow.

Gnoll Reflex save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Outnumbered, the Carrion Guard flees to the north. The party is safe..for now, although you do hear reinforcements and metal clanging coming from the north.

Oh, don't you start too....!

Jameena shoots Dumah a stern look and hefts her scimitar.

"You truly have very little experience with the holy warriors of the Dawnflower if you think a Paladin of Sarenrae would consider retreating while her poorly armored and poisoned ally covered her flight. Down the hall with you, wizard,"she says, in a tone of voice that clearly signals that this is NOT a matter for discussion.

Into the garbage shute, spell-boy!

"Do we follow the men, or do we head back out of the passage and regroup?"

Let's follow the men. You said the one slayed the downed gnoll; so they are no friends of the Carrion King. They may have information to aid us, and perhaps a place to shelter. With the Haste spell under effect, we should be able to catch them. And I can cast it again should it be needed.

GM, do I owe you any more fort rolls for the poison?

Edit: current status.
Current Hit Points: 33/33 (45). AC 16.

Yes, please and you lose 1d3 ⇒ 3 more Con, as the poison courses through your bloodstream.

Fort save 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

GM

Seeing Dumah pale even more, Jameena reaches into her pack and pulls out her healing kit. She opens up a small jar of ointment and quickly smears it on the arrow-wound.

"Here, this may be able to help you. The poison may already be too absorbed into your blood, but there is a chance this will help you fight it."

Heal check to treat poison. If I make the poison DC, Dumah gets +4 to his save. 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9

Edit: ¤%"&%¤&(/R%) - seems like the dice gods are determined to kill Dumah. Also, forgot to add the +2 from the heal kit, but with that roll, it won't matter. If he has to make another save, I try again.

The wound is already closed from the healing you provided. Perhaps something ingested?

Worst case scenario, I do have a backup character if Dumah doesn't survive this...

Quzman quickly sheathes his dagger as he moves to Dumah's side. Putting his arm around him to support the young mage he says, "Come, let us take this lapse to get you to safety. Jameena, can you watch our backs as we go. Eli, let's catch up to Ty and see if whoever he saw has a place to hide.", as he starts to help the mage down the path after Ty.

Dumah's condition continues to deteriorate, as he is vomiting and turning very pale. He loses another 1d3 ⇒ 1 Con.

Tyronel runs after the humans and when he reaches the corner, he looks around but sees no one present down the hall.

Perception check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Current Hit Points: 21/21 (45). AC 16.
CON 6/14

I'm guessing the effects go for a minute unless Dumah makes a save? I'll give you another roll. If Jameena rolls well enough to give him a bonus, that's not added into this roll yet.

Fort Save 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

"Let me just try and help Dumah one last time, then we must move. I'll bring up the rear."

Heal check 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Ty moves to the wall, where the blood drops seem to come to an end. He stows his bow and reaches out with both hands, attempting to detect if there was something he could determine. If not, he waits until Eli joins him, and points out the abnormalities.

Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Eli will follow after Ty, trusting Quzman to take care of Dumah. When he gets to the site where the archer is searching he will help try to find a trigger to open the wall.

Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

My laptop has to be sent off for repair, I will have limited access to PC's for a bit.

Current Hit Points: 21/21 (45). AC 16.

CON 6/14

I'm guessing the effects go for a minute unless Dumah makes a save? I'll give you another roll. If Jameena rolls well enough to give him a bonus, that's not added into this roll yet.

Fort Save 1d20+3

In his vomiting, Dumah spits out some of the black vile wracking his body and manages to fight off the effects for a few seconds. Another Fort Save next round please.

Eli will follow after Ty, trusting Quzman to take care of Dumah. When he gets to the site where the archer is searching he will help try to find a trigger to open the wall.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Eli searches but does not find any hidden trigger.

Quzman helps Dumah down the hallway as quickly as the weakened mage is able. "Come my friend, just a little bit further. I think they have found something." he tells him, as he see Ty and Eli examining the wall.

I am going to be out of touch until sometime on Tuesday, due to travel for work. Quzman will help out as possible while caring for Dumah. Please DMNPC him as necessary. Thanks.

Dumah clings to Quzman, struggling for breath and shaking after the vomiting.

Fort save 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Dumah will try to help find the passage or trigger that the others are looking for.

Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Worried at what might lie further down the tunnel, Eli will scout ahead a short ways, keeping the rest of the group within in vision distance.

Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Dumah clings to Quzman, struggling for breath and shaking after the vomiting.

Fort save 1d20+3

Dumah will try to help find the passage or trigger that the others are looking for.

Perception 1d20+9

Dumah succumbs to the poison once more, before finally vomiting it out of his system and collapsing on the floor, though its effects on him are quite clear. He loses another 1d3 ⇒ 3 Con. He can't stand or walk and looks very close to death, so looking for secret passages is the last thing on his mind.

Things had turned grim for the party. Ty and Eli couldn't find the humans, Quzman was badly injured, and Dumah was unable to stand, let alone access the gate to get the party out of trouble.

"Go on ahead, you all, and try to find somewhere we can hole up. I'll try to slow down the gnolls with my arrows, but they will be on us quickly." He moves to the back of the party , ready to start laying down cover fire.

Current Hit Points: 3/3 (45). AC 16.
CON 3/14

Dumah slumps, most of his weight falling to Quzman. His breathing is heavily labored, and coherency comes and goes.
