Well I only share secrets with my friends...just tell me you want to be my friend and I will tell you! but I do have lots and lots to say otherwise. Like I can tell you that those bodyguards are none the wiser, and that the one in the middle is pretty powerful magically...I can't see him at all!

Reknar |

'Sure mate, whatever you say - I want to be friends with you' - Reknar thinks - 'What else have you got for me?'

MiniGM |

Excellent! I do so miss having friends. So that little spear you found is very special. It’s called the Heartswood Spear. Considering your history with the undead it’s no wonder it found it’s way to your hands.
you can do another spellcraft if you like with a +10 bonus
There is a gentle humming in your head for a bit. I’m getting tired waiting for candy man there...wanna just kill some of them?

"oh.. you mean my guards? It got a little hairy there for a moment, A thief had stolen something from the town mayor and the guards were stopping single travelers. Improvation is one of my better talents as it were."
He snuck a bit closer to the gnolls and the nondescript man.
"What say you have your two hairy friends here git rid of the problem so I dont have to pay them..."
He whispered just loud enough that he was sure Nic and Reknar could hear.

Reknar |

Reknar lifts an eyebrow and crosses his arms over his shoulder.

Honestly the plan is fine, but no PbP can survive with posts coming in at this rate. That is the issue we are having I think. I believe it is understood by all this could be a slow posting game, but one post per week or less than that will not work I think.

Nic "One-Ear" Rockborn |

Nic is clearly bothered by the gnoll. Without warning the cleric decides justice needs to be rendered. He tries to smack the gnoll with his moringstar.
morningstar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8;damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
"Oh, shut yer mouth." But in his eagerness he whiffs his attack.
Decided we talked enough, lets fight.

Seeing the dwarf move he gave a short smile, a shrug, and then tried to thwack the same gnoll in the back as the dwarf.
quarterstaff flank sneak attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (2) = 7

Reknar |

"So that's how this is going to be?!" - Reknar grumbles - "Ok then, let's get them!"
Want to start Inspire Courage for +1, and start shifting 5' toward a flank position.

Reknar |

MiniGM, do we have a map? Also, they are two gnolls and a third (nondescript), correct? Is he/she a human?
Reknar shifts his position again, and focuses on the one targeted by Thorin, trying to gain some sort of flanking position - "By the book boys and girls. One at a time!"
Longspear: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 < +2 if flanking
Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
"Tell us where Don is, lay down the weapons, and it may still end up without bloodshed for you" - Reknar growls.
Galen and Alex are not there?

no map needed. you have free reign pretty much, ill tell ya if you doing something really stupid!
Two gnolls, slightly in front of a hooded humanoid. Not sure what race he/she is.
Reknar's spear digs deep into the gnolls side, and it staggers, and slumps to the ground. Perhaps the gnolls should have realized they were flanked
Alex is only occasionally playing, and Galen seems to have gone the way of the dodo, thats why yo uhave the skull now

MiniGM |

Nice attack glances off the leather armor of the gnoll
The wounded gnoll roars as it draws a great club and swings it at Nik
1d20 ⇒ 5 and makes a massive divet in the ground
The cloaked one wiggles its fingers and there is a bright flash
Dc 14 fort please. Failure means you are dazzled
Then the thing moves back toward the woods, it is a good 40 feet away from you

![]() |

fort save dc 14: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10
"Get the gnoll i got finger mcwiggles"
Dropping his quarterstaff he began taking a step or two away from the gnoll and pulling out his crossbow. Sparkly floaty motes of light made the aiming awkward but he took aim center mass and fired away anyhow.
Five foot step away from the gnoll drawing out the crossbow as part of the move action and pew pew.
inspired shotwhile dazzled: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 - 1 = 13
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Reknar |

MiniGM, the spell targets everyone? If we are kinda flanking, we might be on opposite sides, and some not be affected? Also, no AoO perchance? :D

Reknar |

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
I thought Thorin was aiming at the caster.
So one gnoll is down, correct? If not, I go for the wounded one. If yes, I go for the other one.
Longspear: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20
Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
"Keep at it!" - Reknar roars at his companions - "No slacking!"

Nic: RD 2 action
Bright white light flashes in the dwarf's eyes. "Yer gonna pay fer that." He swings his morning star over his head trying to crash down a gnoll's skull.
att, inspired, dazzled: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 - 1 = 22;damage, IC: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
His Morningstar caves the gnoll's skull in. "That's gotta hurt!"

MiniGM |

Sorry! In that case your bolt missed the mark Thorin
Nic caves in the Gnoll's skull, leaving only the fleeing caster. The caster meanwhile casts another spell and suddenly moves extra quickly
Heroe's up! Baddie is now 80 feet away, if you are shooting there is light cover with the trees

Reknar |

"Surround him!" - Reknar roars, then runs past the man, to stay ahead of him.
Supposedly Reknar can run 4 times his speed, which is 120', so he wants to get ahead of the bad guy running, and if he tries to get past him too close, he eats an AoO :P
If we all do something similar we may have a chance.

Nic "One-Ear" Rockborn |

After the satisfying Morningstar whack shatters the gnoll's skull Nic steps up, or moves if need be, to attack the next one.
att, inspired: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11;damage, IC: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6
subtract 1 on the attack if he is still dazzled. Add two if I can sneak attack, he would try to do that if possible. I'm out of town so I have limited internet access.
