Lucendar's Savage Tide....All aboard! (Inactive)

Game Master Lucendar

Baolo stays up on the wall and hisses to Ialda and the others, "No one in ballroom. I tink dat dere are two more in dat small dining room next ta it. Mebbe go in here an see if we can get de jump on dat pair. I tink this pair mebbe see us in de courtyard Left-Ear."

"Lets do it, then," the barbarian hisses! as she tries to make it over the fence.

Can I take ten on Climb check?

Gruug will help Ialda climb the fence. "What you want Gruug do?"

"Are you a good climber, Gruug? We are going to try to climb this fence and go save the Lady."

Yes you can take 10 and it is a DC 10 Climb check. Normally, it would look odd for you to be scaling the wall, but with the festival, no guards around so you are fine to take your time.

Ialda takes her time, and hops the fence. "Gruug, Left Ear, Aero, come on over. We don't have much time!"

Baolo sits atop the wall helping Gruug, Left-Ear and Aero up the wall if any of them need assistance, then hops down and drawing his bow, covers Ialda and Gruug as they approach the manor.
Assist (Gruug) 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Assist (Left-Ear) 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Assist (Aero) 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
+2 to Gruug, sorry everyone else!

Ialda will assist as well.

Aid Aero 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Aid left Ear 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Aid Gruug 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

"Thanks for the hand up, Braids and Em," 'Left-Ear' says as he begins scaling the low wall. "I'm usually a fair bit better at climbin', seein' how I spent me first two years at sea in th' tops. 'Course, I hadn't been stabbed, burned and buggered by a demon monkey during those two years, neither. This revenge business ain't exactly good fer yer health."

Taking 10 gives me a 14, and Ialda's assist gives me a 16.

Although his companions try to assist him, the bulky Gruug just seems too heavy to lift or bare his weight. Gruug looks for decent handholds and climbs over slowly yet cautiously.

Gruug takes 10 to climb over

Aeronniell thanks the others for their aid, stepping into Ialdra's cupped hand as she's lifted to the top of the outer wall.

Once atop it, she lays flat and gazes over the interior courtyard for signs of trouble.

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

With everyone up the wall, Baolo slips down the other side and draws his bow, ready to provide cover as everyone makes their way to the doors.
Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

The party's climb over the wall is not silent (especially since no one stated they were trying to climb quietly), but Gruug's is especially noisy, given his bulky armor, and as he makes it over the wall, two black-scaled lizardfolk pass by the back window and see the party! Thankfully, for you guys, Baolo was your lookout and he spotted them as well, so no surprise either way.

Initiative rolls:
Aero: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Baolo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Gruug: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Ialda: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Left Ear: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Lizardfolk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Huntress: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Initiative Order:
Baolo
Gruug
Lizardfolk
Left-Ear
Aero
Ialda
Huntress

Scene: 2 Lizardfolk are 20 ft away, with throwing axes in their hands and clubs at their sides. They are also behind the glass windows. Baolo and Gruug can post their actions and I will post a map after the lizardfolk act.

Round 1

"Get ready mon, we got trouble!" Baolo gestures toward the window and then sends a blunt arrow, followed by a thistle arrow flying toward one of the lizardfolk, recognizing that the first arrow will probably fail to connect, but will hopefully break the window.
Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Yah, hopefully that first one is still enough to hit and break the window. If the second one does hit, it will keep doing 1 hp damage for 1d6 ⇒ 4 rounds

Shards of glass go flying as the window pane shatters upon impact of Baolo's blunt arrow, followed by the scream of a lizardman, as Baolo's thistle arrow penetrates its thick scales, finding blood. The lizardman growls in anger at the archer. Nicely done, B!

Gruug is up.

Gruug shrugs in a miffed sort of way... clearly unhappy with his ranged combat options. The half-orc mutters a curse to himself and then calls on his inner power reserves to ignite the wounded lizardman.

Fire Bolt ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Fire Bolt damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Gruug's Fire bolt finds its mark, but the lizardman is still up! You see them both look up and call in Reptilian to the north, presumably for backup. Then they both grasp their handaxes, step 5' forward over the glass shards, and launch them, one at Baolo, the other at Left-Ear! Fortunately for the party, their aim is equally terrible and the weapons fly high and crash off the brick wall.

Attack on Baolo: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6...-2 range penalty already factored in
Attack on Left-Ear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Another lizardfolk warrior appears, due to the call for aid, and throws his handaxe at Ialda, but the throw misses its mark by a mile!
Attack on Ialda: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Left-Ear, Ialda, and Aero are up. Aero is still on top of the wall, which may be to her liking.

Updated Map

Ialda steps forward to Q 1, pulling her longspear as she moved. She poked at the lizardman across from her.

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Mind if I sit this one on the sidelines?", 'Left-Ear' quips, pulling his bow and aiming for the one Baolo already shot. "I'd rather not see me insides again so soon."

Round 1

"Lizardmen... here, at Lavinia's? I.. don't understand?"

Aeronniell frowns at the sight of the creatures, uncertain why the courtyard is not only unempty, but if it is occupied, why it isn't the captain's men.

Grabbing her holy symbol, she holds it aloft while quickly reciting a prayer.

Standard action: Cast Bless!
Move action: Draw longbow.

Ialda attacks and misses badly.
Left-Ear's arrow does little damage and the lizardman still stands.
Aero cast Bless.

From the back, you hear a laugh, as you see a 6'5" female lizardfolk come out into view, sporting 2 handaxes. She is garbed in studded leather armor and has deep black scales and she is gripping 2 fancy handaxes, their handles carved out of ivory, and quite stained with blood. She looks at the party and smiles, speaking in broken Common, as she licks her lips, "Yum...humans!"

Baolo and Gruug are up. The wounded lizardman is providing the Huntress with cover for ranged attacks.

Updated Map

"Don't suppose you know Devoraz, do you lady," Ialda asks the huntress as she appears.

The female snarls, "I am no lady! I am Krilla the Huntress! And Devoraz is an ally for now, as long as he gives me more humans to feast on, such as your soon to be dead allies. Hope you prove to be more of a challenge than this structure's guards." She waves her hands over the pair of human skulls adorning her belt (a la Predator style), showing them off to the party's disgust.

Oh what a nasty skank!

Time for Gruug to do what Gruug does best. He rushes forward and chops away at the wounded lizardman.

+1 Scimitar power attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
+1 Scimitar damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Gruug looks thoroughly disgusted with his awkward wild swing.

Gruug moved to P0

Round 2

"Oh, you didn' haf ta do dat mon." Baolo scowls and takes another pair of thistle arrows at the wounded lizardfolk.
1 point of damage from previous thistle arrow.
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
If he falls, second shot is at Krilla.
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Confirm 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Damage 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 7) + 4 = 13
No blood scarab since it already acted today.

Baolo, I moved you 5' up to avoid any cover penalties from the wall. Hope you don't mind!

Baolo's first arrow finishes off the wounded lizardman and he crumbles to the ground in a pool of blood. His second arrow penetrates the Huntress' thick scales and she screams out something in Draconic, the pain and fury in her eyes, as she looks at Baolo! However, despite the severe damage, she looks tough, like she could take a few more blows!

Round 2: Lizardfolk
The lizardman attacked by Ialda moves in 5' and attacks her with his club, but his blow is clumsy and easily parried!
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The second lizardfolk moves around the party, hatred in his eyes, as he attacks Baolo, but triggers an AoO from Ialda's longspear. If he survives...
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10...miss!
What's up with these awful rolls? Last 4 rolls: 3,4,2,5?!!!

Ialda's AoO, then Left-Ear, Aero, and Ialda before the Huntress!

Updated Combat Map

Ialda swipes at the creature when it tries to pass by her.

AoO Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

She moves 5' backward, and pokes again with her spear.

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Ialda: Don't forget +1 from Bless!

Seeing her companions have the fight well in hand already, Aeronniell carefully moves along the wall to line up a shot of her own.

To S,4

Longbow, bless, PB: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 24 for 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9

I did forget. Please add that in for me in my last post, DM!

"Don't suppose you lot want to surrender, would ye?", 'Left-Ear' asks, moving to get a clear shot on one of the lizardfolk. "No takers? Well, thought I'd give it a shot. Speaking of..."

Ialda's AoO wounds the lizardman severely but her second attack misses. Aero's arrow finishes the wounded lizardman, but Left-Ear's arrow misses wide.

Round 2: Huntress

Seeing her lizardfolk allies drop like flies due to the party's arrows, the Huntress screams in rage, her muscles bulging and her abdomen contracting, and then she rushes Baolo, handaxes in hand! She swipes at the human who wounded her, her handaxe grazing his arm, but still doing great damage. The Huntress' eyes are bulging, as she drools, thinking of killing the archer.

Free action: Rage; charge (no AoO as Ialda does not have Combat Reflexes)
Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Updated Combat Map

Baolo and Gruug are up to start Round 3!

Gruug moves in for a tactical advantage and strikes at a lizardman, hoping to gain back some of his shattered confidence from his last wild swing.

+1 Scimitar power attack (flank & bless): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 17
+1 Scimitar damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Gruug moves to Q -1

Actually, with longspear in hand and the lizardfolk adjacent to her, Ialda does not threaten the warrior so no flanking bonus...
Gruug's scimitar bounces off the creature's tough scales!

Baolo is up!

"Oh mon, I knew dat crazy lizah was comin'. How 'bout two mo arrows?" Baolo takes a step back away from the Huntress to draw and fire two more arrows.
5-foot step to Q3.
1 point of damage to her from the previous rounds thistle arrow. This is round 1/1d6 ⇒ 3 rounds
Attack 1 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Attack 2 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Baolo steps back, bleeding from his wounds, and is aim is off, as both arrows bounce off the Huntress' thick scales and armor. She smiles at him, licking his blood off her handaxe!

Round 3: Lizardfolk
The lone lizardman still feels bold with the Huntress at his side. He moves to P1 and flanks Ialda and attacks with his club, but the barbarian nimbly dodges the blow!
Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12...miss!

Ialda, Aero, and Left-Ear are up!

Ialda 5'steps to P 1. She uses her Longspear trying to pierce the tough skin of the Huntress.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26

Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Aeronniell continues to take advantage of her perch to keep up her archery practice.

At the lone lizardman if it survives Ialda's spear, otherwise the huntress.

Longbow, bless, PB: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 24 for 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

Aero, Ialda stabbed the Huntress. So you attacked the lizardman or the Huntress?

"Ah, a clear shot! I'll be takin' that!" The pirate fires another arrow at the Huntress,

Huntress Aero! Huntress! ;-)

LOL. Priority order would be a target that doesn't have soft cover. Barring that, then she'd focus her efforts with Ialda, which is apparently the Huntress.

You've go a clear shot at her right now :) Her buddy is the one with cover. Wonder why you don't get high ground for ranged attacks.

Ok, will direct Aero's shot at the Huntress!

Huntress, Round 3:
The female lizardfolk barbarian screams in pain, as Ialda and Aero's attacks wound her, but she looks very tough and does not appear to be in danger of dying. She has taken -39 hps so far. She takes a 5' step and full-attacks Baolo and Ialda! Her first attack, swung with mighty force and hatred toward humans, catches the archer before he can dodge in the ribs, opening a severe wound and causing him to scream in pain, before he collapses to the ground, the blood flowing from his wound! The Huntress thinks about attacking again and lopping the archer's head off, but there are too many enemies around and she turns to the green-skinned elf, who just stabbed her with a spear, and catches her in the shoulder with deep lop of her handaxe!

Attack on Baolo: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Attack on Ialda: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Baolo is at -5 hps.
Ialda at 21/37.

Gruug and Baolo's stabilization are up to start Round 4!

Updated Combat Map

Recognizing the immediate, Gruug steps forward and engages the female lizardfolk. "Gruug make you hurt now!"

+1 Scimitar power attack (bless): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 = 14
+1 Scimitar damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Gruug looks at his scimitar in disbelief and ponders throwing it away.

5' step to Q1

Blood continues to pour from Baolo's wound. His breathing begins to become ragged.
Stabilization (DC 10) 1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 5 = 7
hp now -6
But she takes another hp of damage from the arrow.

Lizardman moves to O2 and flanks Ialda again and attacks with his club and misses again!
Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8...miss!

Huntress taken a total of 40 damage
Ialda, Left-Ear, and Aero are up.

The barbarian takes a 5' step to Q3 and throws down her spear. With a quick thought, suddenly her Draconic claws were out and searching for the blood of the Huntress.

Claw One 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 16

Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Claw Two 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 17

Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

This assumes I can free action drop a weapon, and free action grow sorcerer claws in the same round, DM. If I can only have one free action, then I'll only get one claw attack this round.

"Alright, enough of this playing at archer," 'Left-Ear' says, dropping his bow. "Prepare to receive boarders!" He gives a piratical warcry as he moves to outflank the Huntress, stabbing the lizardwoman in the back.

Ialda, yes, I will allow you to get both attacks.
Aero shoots her bow at the Huntress:
1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 14

Ialda attacks with both claws, but fails to penetrate the Huntress' thick scales, as does Left-Ear's swing and Aero's arrow!

Round 4: Huntress' turn:

The female lizardfolk continues to rage and attacks Ialda twice!
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11...miss
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21...hit
Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Ialda is currently at 8/37 + 4 hps from rage

Baolo's stabilization and Gruug is up in Round 5. No map update but both the lizardfolk and the Huntress are within striking distance and both 10' or more away.
