Misterlurch's Ironfang Invasion (CLOSED)

Game Master MisterLurch

Elaheil charges the closest enemy, elven curveblade whistling through the air

"Gurth enin goth!!"

Charge Att 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 = 16 +2 from Charge
Charge Dmg 1d10 ⇒ 7

Current AC = 23 (+4 shield (9 rnds), +1 Bladesong, +1 Comb Ex, -2 charge). Please note that at my current level I suffer no penalties to attack for using Combat Expertise

Here we go.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Thy leaps over the fence- as he lands he looks up at the Hobgoblins, hand on his crossbow and speaks to them in their native tongue. "Backdoor is locked, anyone have a key?" His eyes lock with one Hobgoblin. I hope they know who I am, it will make this all the better
HG3 I believe is closest

Surprise Round:

Vindu quickly pulls out his bedroll, unfurling it to use as a fire-beater.

Elaheil charges from the end of the building, surprise and the extra momentum of his curved blade slipping through the hobgoblins defenses to score a hit across its torso.
(HG2: 7 damage.)

Thynevenom hears the battle cry of his elven ally, and rushes around the end of the building, leaping the rail of the fence with ease. "Backdoor is locked, anyone have a key," he asks as he levels his crossbow, locking eyes with the closest hobgoblin.

Khurdan rushes forward under the distraction of Elaheil's charge, making a beeline for the water trough.

Round 1:

Khurdan continues his rush to the trough, reaches through the rails of the fence and fills a bucket laying beside it.

The hobgoblins, seemingly prepared for danger, react with admirable speed and discipline. The one just injured by Elaheil steps quickly to the side as another swings around outside his reach to bracket the elf between them. Their synchornized attacks are nearly enough to overwhelm the elf's martial skill, but he holds them at bay by the barest of margins.

The last hobgoblin duplicates Thynevenom's vault over the fence, though less gracefully, and closes with the tiefling, blade swinging smoothly inside Thynevenom's guard by a bare inch, wounding him badly.
(Thynevenom: 9 damage.)

Thynevenom, Elaheil, and Vindu are up.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

In infernal Elaheil calls out to his tiefling ally, "Thy, I salute your boldness and bravery however attacking with a crossbow may be more effective if you were behind someone to screen the melee attackers."

Seeing Khurdan's current positioning and a defensive advantage he moves adjacent to him for a moment to cover his back before he moves on to the trough and slices as he does.

ATT 1 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
DMG 1 1d10 ⇒ 7

current AC = 25 (19 + 4 shield (8 rnds)+ 1 blade song + 1 comb Exper)

Thy shouts back to Elaheil "I didn't anticipate that he'd make it over the fence, given my past interactions with these bastards." Thy musters all the strength he can and swings his fist towards the goblin-

ATT 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
DMG 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Vindu winces from the roof as he catches a glimpse of the viscous hit Thy received. He seems to ponder for a moment before finally using his bedroll to begin beating the fire down just in front of him.
Perhaps I should go help with the fight.... No. No, this fire will be too much of a problem if I let it fester.

I feel bad about this .. but I forgot to move Khurdan as you will realize from the description of his action. I need you to, perhaps, reconsider your movement.

I have adjusted his 5 foot shift to move closer to Thy so I can be in a better position to help in the coming rounds.

Round 3 - Final I forgot I was tracking rounds from when you first got to the trading post.

Elaheil steps out from between the hobgoblins, slashing into his previous target as he steps off its line. The lime-green creature howls in pain and the elven blade bites.
(HG2: 7 Damage.)

Thynevenom ducks aside from his foe's blade, getting a short, jabbing punch into the hobgoblin's short ribs. A small grunt of pain rewards his efforts.
(HG2: 2 Damage.)

Making it look easy, Vindu extinguishes the flames in the one spot highest on the roof.

Meanwhile, as if to mock Vindu's efforts, the flames spread in either direction along the edges of the roof.

Round 4 - Start

Khurdan hurries over to the flaming corner of the building and flings the water up and onto the flames. The water is not especially well aimed, but sufficient to douse the flames in that location.

The hobgoblins press their attack, the two fighting Elaheil moving to flank him once more, but none of them are able to land a telling blow.

Elaheil, Thynevenom, and Vindu are up.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Seeing that Thy is hanging on by a thread and that he is unable or unwilling to move towards each other, Elaheil tries to cover some extra ground this round, risking the possibility of leaving himself open to attack he tries to move gracefully past their attacks. "Hold fast friend, together we can take him!

Acrobatics to avoid AOO 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Hoping that his movement will provide him with an opportunity to get a parting attack in, he swings at his wounded foe.

Att 1 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
DMG 1 1d10 ⇒ 6

Upon reaching the fence he tries to deftly tumble over it into a position that he can support his comrade.

Acrobatics to get past fence for no additional movement 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Assuming that I pass all my checks I should be in a flanking position for you tucker. For Tyler: 7 rnd remain on shield.

Thy, seeing Elaheil's movements attempts to roll so the Hobgoblins back is to Elaheil.

Acrobatics to dodge AOO 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

@Thynevenom: I am not really sure what you mean to accomplish with your post. Elaheil is already on the other side of the hobgoblin without you moving, and so far as I can tell, you did not make any action that would provoke an AoO.

Facing is no longer a factor in combat in pathfinder. Meaning that it doesn't matter if you are "behind" a character or not in combat, as it is too fluid for facing to play a part.

Flanking does give the characters doing the flanking an advantage in combat to reflect the difficulty in defending oneself from multiple attackers, but that is already established by Elaheil's positioning and would require no further action on your part.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I am unsure what your actions are.

Vindu growls in frustration as the fire spreads and attempts to put it out where it seems to be spreading from, to his left.

I misunderstood the positioning of the characters when I looked at roll 20. Just replace my action with Total Defense.

Round 4: Final

Elaheil slashes at the wounded hobgoblin putting an end to its miserable life before easily stepping away from his remaining foe and vaulting the fence as he comes to Thynevenom's aid.

Thynevemon takes a posture of maximum defense, giving up any attacks in favor of survival.

Vindu continues to beat at the fire, moving to the fast spreading end of the blaze. Swinging the bedroll with determination, the fire before him gutters and dies.

As if in mockery of their efforts, the fire spreads back into both of the recently extinguished places. Given how readily it seems to be able to spread among the thatch, both Vindu and Khudan are certain that without their efforts the roof would be an inferno now. But without a bit of luck or more people fighting the blaze, the fire seems likely to outpace their efforts.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Round 5: Start

Khurdan growls in frustration, a peculiar sound coming from what looks to be a large frog-person, and rushes back to the trough to refill his bucket.

With a bellow of rage, Elaheil's foe pursues him. The hobgoblin slashes at him across the fence, but Eleheil easily evades its attack.

The other hobgoblin tries to finish off his own wounded enemy, cutting at Thynevenom once more. Thynevenom's defensive stance makes him well prepared and he easily slaps the blow aside.

Vindu, Elaheil, and Thynevenom are up...

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

"I thought the Iron Fang were known as fierce fighters not inaccurate stick swingers" Thy flicks his tail and again prepares to defend himself.
Total Defense

Elaheil presses the attack against the hobgoblin that is threatening Thy before shifting 5 feet to try and stay out from between his attackers and using the fence to prevent the one pursing him from easily following his movements.
Att 1 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 = 29 (+2 flank)
Dmg 1 1d10 ⇒ 5

Crit Conf 1 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25 (+2 flank)
Additional Crit Dmg 1d10 ⇒ 5

Just so I don't have to keep typing the same thing anymore, Vindu's actions for the remainder of the encounter will be attempting to snuff out the fires on the roof, with spatterings of goblin curses, unless Thy or Elaheil goes negative.

Round 5: Final

Elaheil steps in between the hobgoblin and the door to the building, placing a near-perfect slashing cut into the foe's leg as he moves.
(HG3: 10 damage.)

Theynevenom maintains his defensive posture while Vindu continues trying to bring the fire under control.

Though Vindu is unable to put out the fire where he is beating at it, it seems the rapid spread of the fire is checked somewhat as it spreads only a small amount.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Round 6: Start

Khurdan crosses the yard once more, carrying a bucket of water. He flings it up onto the corner of the roof, expertly re-extinguishing the fire on the corner.

Again displaying a surprising level of tactical coordination, the two hobgoblins move to bracket Elaheil and the more badly wounded hobgoblin snarls at his companion.

Rather than simply attacking Elaheil the one he has been fighting the longest takes a considered risk, kicking at the elf's legs in an attempt to trip him! Reacting immediately to the opening provided, Elaheil slashes into the exposed leg.
(HG1: 5 Damage.)

Unable to stop the assault on his balance, the world spins around Elaheil and he finds himself on the ground with both hobgoblins towering over him, and a blade flashing down for his life. Once more, if not for the magical defense of the shield spell, Elaheil would have taken a deadly wound; the disc of force the only thing between the hobgoblin's blade and Elaheil's own precious flesh.

Elaheil, Vindu, and Thynevenom are up.
Vindu, you don't need to post unless you want to change your intended action...

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Withdraw action over the fence.

I would like to spend my one hero point to gain the Rogue Crawl for one round except that I would like to not provoke the normal AOOs for this movement. Assuming this will be allowed for my hero point...

Elaheil deftly rolls 10 feet away from his two foes and desperately casts one of his three remaining spells. "Ilmarë!!" Color Spray Also, 5 rnd remain on Shield

Will Save DC is 16

Edit:

I would like to spend my one hero point to gain the Rogue Crawl for one round

Elaheil deftly rolls 10 feet away from his two foes and desperately casts one of his three remaining spells. "Ilmarë!!"

In case you need it here instead of discussion, Edit #2:

I would like to spend my one hero point to gain an extra move action

Elaheil deftly rolls 10 feet away from his two foes and desperately casts one of his three remaining spells. "Ilmarë!!"

Color Spray Also, 5 rnd remain on Shield

I just remembered that you need the acrobatics roll too

Acrobatics to avoid AOO 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Round 6: Final

Elaheil quickly rolls from between the hobgoblins, gaining the distance he needs for a quick spell. With a word of power and a fanning motion of his hands, a spray of colored lights washes over the hobgoblins. Overwhelmed by the assault on its senses, the more injured of the two collapses to the ground, senseless. The other shakes its head, paws at its eyes, and locks its gaze on Elaheil once more. With a grating voice it says something in its foul language.

Thynevenom falls back from the threat posed by the hobgoblins, re-crossing the fence and getting clear of the reach of their blades.

Vindu, with a growl of frustration, continues beating at the fire but with no success.

Vindu does, however, catch a break. The only direction the fire tries to spread is directly toward him, and he is easily able to stamp it out and prevent the spread while he battles the blaze.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Round 7: Start

Khurdan rushes back to the trough with desperate haste, filling a bucket with water. As he fills the bucket, he calls to Elaheil, "Do you need help?!"

The one conscious hobgoblin moves over to Elaheil, slashing down at him. The gods favor the elf once more and the blade thuds harmlessly into the soil of the paddock.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Thy shouts to the frog like creature "Help our elf friend while I assist with the blaze. Leave the bucket and help him - I doubt his defenses hold up much longer." Thy rushes as fast as he can to the trough damning his lazy guard that caused his injury in the first place.

Elaheil Exposes himself for a moment to stand up, shifts 5 feet (Assuming he survives the AOO), and strikes at the incapacitated foe, trying to finish him off while he is vulnerable.

Att 1 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Dmg 1 1d10 ⇒ 7

Round 7: Final

Relying on the protection of his spell, Elaheil rises to his feet and hisses in pain as a thrust as perfect as any Elaheil has ever seen stabs into his thigh. Luckily it misses the large artery there, and, though painful and a grave wound, it leaves Elaheil able to fight on.
(Elaheil: 7 damage.)

Elaheil steps over to the unconscious and prone hobgoblin and, with a quick and economical stab, tears the creature's throat out.
(HG3: 7 damage.)

Thynevenom rushes to the trough, calling to Khurdan, ""Help our elf friend while I assist with the blaze. Leave the bucket and help him - I doubt his defenses hold up much longer." When Khurdan surrenders the bucket, Thynevenom takes it and hurries to the burning building.

Vindu flails on at the burning thatch. The thatch takes little notice of his activity.

The fire spreads a little, but in a very unfortunate direction moving further up the pitch of the roof.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Round 8: Start

Khurdan circles the paddock, easily vaulting the rail to attack the hobgoblin from the opposite side. His jabbing fingers tear flesh and the hobgoblin snarls in pain.
(HG1: 3 damage.)

All too well acquainted with how hard it is to land a telling blow on Elaheil, the hobgoblin attacks this new threat, stepping neatly out from between the encircling foes before he does. Though the blow seems surely that it will land, Khurdan sways at the last moment and the hobgoblin's blade misses him by bare inches.

Vindu, Elaheil, Thynevenom, you are up.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Vindu, over the past couple of seconds, notices both his ineffectiveness and the scorched state of his previously new bedroll and decides he would be better off using water. As such, he quickly scans for another bucket as he leaps off the roof.

Acrobatics to get over fence for free:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Vindu expertly vaults the fence with minimal effort.

Grimacing at the blow that finally landed, Elaheil sways slightly but steels himself as he and battle wounds are old friends. Realizing the precarious state he would be in if he rejoined the fight. Feeling that he did his fair share he salutes Kurdhan with his sword "I leave the glory of the kill to you good sir."

He sheathes his sword as he goes and and grabs a bucket plunging it into the water and moving on quickly to throw the water up onto the corner hoping to stop the fire from spreading out of reach.

Acrobatics to vault the fence 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

ATT for roof 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Thy throws water onto the roof then rushes to the door slamming on it with his fist several times. He shouts to those inside- "My name is Thynevenom and I am foe to these hobgoblins. The roof is ablaze and I urge you to leave the building before you are burnt with it. The danger is above you as we are handling the goblins. Either this door or the back door will do but please I do not wish to see more families suffer a loss of loved ones."

Diplomacy Check: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9

So, it is a move action to get to the trough, a move action to fill the bucket, a move action (at least one) to get to the burning section of roof, and an ranged touch to throw the water up on the fire.

@Elaheil - I will leave off the second set of actions for the summary this round, and include them for the next round.

The "AC" for throwing the water up to the roof is 10 for the edge, 15 for the squares in the second row, and 25 for the peak of the roof. (see the zones I have marked.) I am also putting in a "creature" to identify the fires so I don't have to guess which squares you want to target.

Round 7: Final

Elaheil leaves the hobgoblin to the tender mercies of Khurdan, and rushes to help fight the fire, filling a bucket with water as soon as he reaches the trough.

Thynevenom takes his bucket and flings the water up onto the roof, extinguishing the fire that had started to climb toward the peak. He then goes to the door, pounding on it and trying to convince those inside to come out. He can hear crashing sounds and shouts from inside, but not much else.

Vindu abandons the bedroll method, darting between flames and dropping off the roof and running to the trough.

The water level in the trough is dropping, and it seems likely that soon someone will have to operate the pump.

The gods of fire smile on you once more and the fire spreads by only a small amount again.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Hobgoblins: 15
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Round 6: Start

Khurdan explodes into motion, raining blows onto the hobgoblin with such speed its defenses avail it not at all. When he is once again still, the broken body of the hobgoblin lies at his feet.
(HG1: 13 damage.)

Elaheil takes his water to the building, flinging it up onto the highest patch of fire, and snuffing it out instantly.
I hope that is an acceptable target.

Vindu, Thynevenom, you are up.

Initiative:
Khurdan: 26
Elaheil: 13
Thynevenom: 11+
Vindu: 11-

Vinud (assuming i did manage to find and grab a bucket)quickly fills it with water and flings it on the roof.

Flinging Water:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Forgot to say which tile, it's F5.

Thy again slams his fist against the door. "Please. If you do not wish to open the doors please at least open a window or some sort of ventilation. If you do come out now you will have enough time to salvage supplies." He then runs to the trough and fills his bucket. He yells to the others "The water is running low!" Thy mumbles to himself. Vipl zmy dftc ao afr eirzh (damn the luck of our party).

Moving forward with a summarization.

The fire is out and the building is as silent as a tomb. What do you do?

Vindu, upon noticing that the inside has gone quiet is the last seconds of the firefighting, drops his bucket and moves towards the door. Without hesitation he begins slamming the door, trying to break it open.
I'm rolling a strength check and two attack actions as I am unsure of the correct course, so just use whichever is appropriate.
Strength Check to break door: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Claw attacks to break door:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Claw attacks to break door:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
[ooc]Damage from claw attacks:1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7/ooc]
[ooc]Damage from claw attacks:1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5/ooc]

Thynevenom pulls out his crossbow with a bolt ready and aims at the door, unsure of what may be on the other-side of the doors. "Bust it in Vindu my friend."

Elaheil comes to the door to help Vindu while Khudan goes to the side to try and break a window. Neither portal gives way.

You can hear Khurdan's voice calling to some of the villagers to come help and three fairly strong looking fellows trot around to the front of the Trading Company to assist.

You are unable to get through the door this time, but with the help of the others perhaps your next attempt will succeed.

Vindu, from the assistance of Elaheil and the three villagers, you gain a +4 on the Str check to break through the door for your next attempt.

Vindu glances at his allies and smirks.

"Heh, it's nice to have friends sometimes. On three everyone."

Strength Check:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

As Vindu pushes against the door he growls in exertion.

Thy eyes the villagers
I hope they have no tricks up their sleeves...
He shifts his footing and steadies his aim at the door.
