Okay.

AoO: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

Round 5

If he's still up Kayle will follow after and make her attack.

Kayle w/ Favored Enemy: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 2 = 25

Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

Is he still up? If not, Zstelian will heal Seka.

Yay Silvio! Kyson will ask Sarenrae to cancel the planned sunburst targeted right up Silvio's glory... Yes, Shield of Faith helps against touch attacks.

Round 5, Init 28

Kyson cheers as others begin to rain blows on the bad guys, but wonders why there isn't a damsel clinging defensively to his back.

This damsel must be broken. She's not doing it right.

Kyson again focuses his divine fire on the rust monster, summoning a ball of fire into his hand and tossing it at the rustie.

1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 - 4 - 4 = 5 touch to hit;
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 damage.

It'd be wasted anyway, seeing as the sun already shines out of Silvio's ...

The frogman stops croaking and in a burst of brimstone, a devilish red frog appears in the room, hopping toward Zstelian. It bites the Varisian, which does little damage, though the ranger does feel a small chill radiating from the wound momentarily. 1 hp

The frogman follows up by grabbing a symbol on his chest and holding it up and Zstelian feels a wave of painful energy wash over him. 9 hp negative energy damage; DC 16 Will save for half

As Kayle and the dogs manage to drop Drevoraz, Lavinia rushes over and grabs his blade. [ooc]Waiting on Zstelian's Round 5 action

Downstairs, Kyson's fireball again badly misses the rust monster, but Khazmia has more luck as she puts the thing down as her hanbo strikes home. Moments later, Dargon's fists slam on opposite sides of the frogman's head, exploding it in a mess of green goo and his carcass falls to the ground.

The basement grows quiet, except for Liamae's small whimpers of pain.

Round 5

With his quarry finally down and Lavinia safe, Zstelian rushes over to the wounded elf with his wand in hand.

Cure Light Wounds on Seka: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

He curses as the dark energy wracks his body.

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

***

Round 6

Seeing that the ugly frog creature is a dark priest of some kind, the old ranger takes a step and then grips his last two javelins and tosses them.

Javelin w/ Point Blank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8
Javelin w/ Point Blank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

With an avian cry, Kayle rushes in to attack the conjured animal.

Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Are the dogs still interested in helping or do they need handling?

Kyson will eye Liamae up and down (looking for injury, of course) as she whimpers.

Is she a pretty damsel? Have they met before?

"Are you okay? Do you know where Lavinia is? Are you a real damsel or a fake mean one?" Kyson asks of Liamae.

Seeing that Liamae is injured (along with Dargon and Silvio), Kyson will call upon Sarenrae for aid, while holding up his holy symbol.

Are you there, Sarenrae? It's me, Kyson. I need you. Please.

2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 healing

* * *

If she is a pretty damsel (Cha > 13), Kyson will ask her "Have I saved you enough yet? Or do you need more saving?"

Kyson will step between the damsel and Silvio for no reason at all.

Seka, that means you should be at 0 (and thus up for round 6).

Unless the channel energy hit you. =(

Hope not... This next post assumes a) that I am at 0 HP and b) that I can take the following action without provoking an AoO

Round 6, Init 21, AC 16, HP 0/24

Sekathral raises himself up on one elbow, feeling sick and groggy. He reaches into his sash and, finding a healing potion there, guzzles it down.

Potion of CMW 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1) + 2 = 8

Silvio kicks the fallen rust monster to make sure that it is delt with. Satisfied that it is no longer a threat, the chelaxian sheaths his blade and turns his attention to the injured sorceress. He sheds his chain shirt armor and tosses it to the ground. Next the fighter sidesteps Kyson and removes his shirt to place it around Liamae's shoulders to help cover her up. A handsome amount of sweat run down the chelaxian's chest to emphasize the lines of his lean muscles. There are traces of blood here and there, remnants of wounds that Kyson's healing magic as sown closed. "You are safe now, lady Terlikaria. No harm shall befall your beautiful person now Silvio is here", Silvio assures the sorceress. "We need to make sure that the same true for the lady Vanderboren. Do you know where she is?"

"Lady Makuhuzdia, how long will your magic keep the two frogmen down?" he asks in while waiting for the sorceress to regain her composure.

"Not long, I'm afraid, Silvio. Even at its best, it will only be a few moments." Khaz dabs at the "glow" upon her forehead and throat from the exertion.

"We should hurry." She says pointedly, as the men tend to the whimpering woman.

"Would you mind taking Dargon and snapping the necks of the remaining frogmen so they won't trouble us any further? Silvio is needed here."

Kyson looks confused by Silvio.

"Are you talking about the frogs I already killed?" Kyson asks.

You killed two of them?
I think so.
Really?
Really.

Kyson's chest puffs out a little more.

Khaz looks from Silvio, to Kyson, then rolls her eyes and sighs.

"Come on, Dargon,let's leave these two to figure out which one's the hero and go look for Lavinia."

Silvio looks over to the pile of frogmen and notices the blood running from their ears (or what counts for ears). He raises a eyebrow and gives Kyson a nod of approval. "Good for you. Silvio was tending to what ever creature that is (pointing to the rust monster) and must have missed it. Silvio is pleased that he has inspired you to great heroics!"

Sorry, another example of me reading and forgetting :(

Sorry, another example of me reading and forgetting :(

Lol. I thought Silvio was being Silvio. No worries...it played into your character well.

"They're really dead?!" Kyson responds like a gleeful child before remembering that's not how Damsel-savers act and deepens his voice before continuing. "Uh, yeah! Of course they are dead, that's what I told you. I do that all he time when I'm saving people."

Kyson looks at the damsel before repeating "All. The. Time."

Kyson gives the damsel his best manly head nod. He does not realize at the moment that his armor and sword are a rusty mess, those are forgotten in the face of the damsel.

Some parts of Silvio just comes to me by nature :)

Round 6

Upstairs, the frogman rushes Zstelian, hitting the Varisian with his spear. 11 hp The old ranger thrusts back, but can't get through the creature's guard. Ended up switching you to a melee attack as that keeps providing cover for Sekathral.

Sekathral, now awake, drinks one of his healing potions as Kayle claws the frog, which hops toward Zstelian but is stymied in its attack by the ranger's boot.

Dogs are still outside savaging the half-orc's body. You'll need to handle them to get them to come back inside.

Downstairs, Liamae appears to be overcoming her fright, though seems to be a bit oblivious to your interplay. "I don't know where Lavinia is," she says. "We were separated when the frogs attacked!"

She is pretty, and you did meet her briefly, when you first entered the manor, probably back on page one or two. Silvio tried to hit on her, to her amusement.

Round 5

That's fine but if that's the case Zstelian could have Quickdrawn his falchion and would have hit AC 24? That missed?

Javelin w/ Point Blank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23

Falchion damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8

Edit: Hmm, it looks like you recorded it as a hit but described it as a miss. Was that a mistake?

***

Round 6

Zstelian grunts as the spear catches him deep in the shoulder but ignores the injury for now and brings his falchion to bear again.

Falchion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Falchion damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

Confirming: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Additional damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8

Afterward he whistles sharply, calling the dogs.

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Kayle continues attacking the summoned critter.

Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

It's been pointed out to me that potions of CMW heal 2d8+3 HP, so I'm actually at the dizzy heights of 9 HP, rather than 8

Round 6, Init 21, HP 9/24, AC 16

Sekathral, now capable of movement, vaults up Acrobatics 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 , lands behind the frogman and attempts to carve out its liver. Attk 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20 Attk 1d6 + 2 + 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (5, 3) + 1 = 13

Round X, Init X
HP 38/43, Ki Pool 3/5
AC 18 (22), touch 17 (21), flat-footed 15, (fighting defensively w/ crane style)
Fort +8, Ref +6, Will +7 (+2 vs. poison, spells, spell effects, +2 vs. enchantment)
CMD 24 (28)

Dargon resist the urge to bombard Liamae with question in her frightened state, but once he notices that she begin to calm, he can't help it. "Liamae, where did the frogmen come from? Where did you last see Lavinia?" Did you see a half-orc with any of the frogs? Could she still be in the house? Are there any secret exits they could have used?"

"Easy, Silvio's good friend Dargon. The lady has been through alot, you must let her catch her strength. Dear lady, can you stand? We need to search the rest of the manor for the lady Vanderboren."

No, sorry, that'd hit, Zstelian (and yeah, I did include the javelin hits already in the damage, as I originally hadn't planned for him to close in until I realized that was his best option).

Round 5
The frogman jabs at Zstelian again, but can't get through the Varisian's armor, before he takes a couple blows from Zstelian and Sekathral that leaves him looking close to death.

The frog again is unsuccessful as it tries to attack Zstelian, before Kayle finishes it off. The hawk is surprised to be robbed of her victory as the creature suddenly fades into the ether as quickly as it disappeared and gives a piercing cry of frustration.

The dogs rush into the room at Zstelian's whistle.

Downstairs, Liamae assures you she can stand. "They must've come in through the grate," she says, nodding toward the creek running into the bsaement. "They were on us before we had a chance to react. I don't know where everyone else is, though, or even if they're still alive!"

Zstelian presses the advantage and tries to finish the monster off.

Falchion w/ flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11

Kayle flies in for a raking attack as well.

Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Round 6?, Init 21, AC 16, HP 9/24

Feeling victory is within sight, Sekathral narrows his eyes and prepares what he hopes will be a killing blow

Attk 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 = 16 Dmg 1d6 + 2 + 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (5, 1) + 1 = 10

Combat rounds go really quickly when there's only two of us!

Well, you, me, Lavinia, a frogman, a half-orc pirate and all your animal chums :) Feeling slightly left out, so I *am* going to get a parrot as soon as the opportunity presents itself...

Kyson, after seeing that he's saved the damsel enough, begins to walk back upstairs-upstairs.

"We'll come back and loot the bodies later, after we find Lavinia."

Zstelian again is able to avoid a spear thrust from the frogman, and then the two companions attack from both sides, putting the creature down.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Kyson, after seeing that he's saved the damsel enough, begins to walk back upstairs-upstairs.

"We'll come back and loot the bodies later, after we find Lavinia."

"Thank *you*!" While Khazmia feels for local "damsel" Lavinia is of much more importance to her.

Heads back upstairs as well.

Zstelian breathes a sigh of relief as the frog-man is felled. He immediately rushes outside the bedroom to check on Lavinia.

"I'm sorry we couldn't get here sooner. I sent Kayle to warn you but it looks like she wasn't able to get to you in time."

The old ranger retrieves the wand. He sees first to Lavinia's wounds, then Seka, himself, and the others.

Lavinia: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Lavinia: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Lavinia: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Seka: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Seka: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Zstelian: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Zstelian: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Tolin: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Zan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Kora: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"That was nice work with your bindings", Zstelian comments as he tends to the injured.

Seka, I leave looting in your capable hands.

"If you go down to Eleder, keep your money in your boots..."

Singing to himself, Sekathral begins to methodically remove everything that might be remotely valuable from the corpses of the frogman and Devoraz.

Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 Appraise 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Dargon investigates the grate that Liamae point out, trying to determine if there are any clues to follow, but comes up empty handed.

"Blah, let's go find where the old man went, maybe he can help us track them down."

"Thank you, Zstelian, it was enough. They came in a few hours ago, but I convinced them Vanthus was coming back. I saw Kayle briefly, but they closed the shutters so she couldn't get in, but I knew you all would be coming. Where is everyone else?"

She shivers as the wand heals her wounds, and goes to get a cloak, which she pulls over her shoulders. "And have you found Liamae or Kaskus? They were separated in the attack."

Neither of the other two Jade Ravens wake at the wand, though the worst of their wounds close. Kora, however, is dead -- the kindly older halfling woman's throat was slit.

Sekathral, of note, you find a pile of goods that is likely Lavinia's and the Jade Ravens' You would have a chance to nick something if you want, so let me know and I can write out what you see.

On the half-orc and frogman, you find a nice suit of studded leather armor; a beautiful scimitar; a thick leather belt, the clasp a carved ogre's head; 17 gp; a nice suit of leather armor, a nice spear, a wand, a potion, and a simple bronze headband decorated with an intricate pattern of small green gemstones.

As you finish gathering the items in the room and Zstelian heals everyone, you hear growling from the dogs. A quick word from Lavinia settles them, however, as the rest of the group arrives from the basement, Kyson's armor now as rusty as his sword.

"You're OK!" Lavinia cries. Her cloak slips as she hugs each of you, revealing a fair amount of tanned flesh covered only with the slight nightgown. Heh; let's see how Kyson reacts to that. ; )

Zstelian grows a bit solemn at the site of Kora's remains but even the little halfling's death can't shake him from the high that came with saving the one you lo-

The old ranger stops himself at the thought.

As Lavinia goes to greet the others, all alive and well, Zstelian sees to the loot scavenged from the would-be assassins.

Detect Magic, Taking 10 for 17 on Spellcraft checks to identify anything that shows up as magic.

The scimitar, belt, leather armor, potion and headband all radiate magic, as do a number of items in the pile that belongs to Lavinia and the Jade Ravens.

The scimitar is +1, as is the leather armor, but you're not sure about the two other items. The potion is sanctuary.

I think I'll leave the stuff that obviously belongs to Lavinia/the Ravens - Sekathral doesn't steal from people he considers to be on his side. Mostly.

Hearing the rest of the party come up the stairs, Sekathral shouts:

"What in the name of Cayden's flooded britches have you bastards been doing? Whatever it was, I hope you did alright out of it, 'cos all *this* gubbins here belongs to them as bled for it, i.e. me and Zstelian. Begging and pleading might help, though, so give it a go by all means."

Silvio keeps his shirt as well as one arm wrapped around Liamae's shoulders for as long as she doesn't protest. "Ah, you found Sekathral and Zstelian! It warms Silvio's heart to find you safe, my lady", he says with exuberant joy when he is reunited with Lavinia Vanderboren and his two adventuring friends. He returns Lavinia's embrace warmly (with one arm if he's still holding Liamae, otherwise with both arms). "Of course Silvio's and his friends are OK. Silvio is a experience swordsman and his friends are with Silvio, he explains. "You must excuse Silvio if Silvio is being to bold, but do you have a guest wardrobe somewhere in the manor? Or perhaps you know of a good tailor? Silvio is in need of a new shirt."

"Zstelian, Silvio's friend", the chelaxian calls out to Zstelian. "You contain some magic, yes? Silvio has herd of wizards who are able to repair items who are broken or worn. Silvio's sword has been attacked by some kind of monster that caused the steel to rust. Are you able to repair it?"

Basically can you cast Mending? I know Kyson can, but Silvio doesn't know clerics have that power.

Zstelian weighs the unidentified belt in hand, and after a shrug, puts it on.

Based on the description, I'm guessing a belt of strength.

Zstelian offers the armor to the rogue.

"It's going to be big on you, that orc outweighed you by a good amount, but this armor is enchanted. It'll protect you better than what you're wearing now."

He offers the headband to Kyson.

"You're more experienced with magic than I am. Can you determine what this does?"

I'm assuming we'll sell the potion and scimitar.

***

At Silvio's question, Zstelian looks to Tosh. The little weasel waves his paws in the air and waits for the old ranger to follow.

Mending: 1d100 ⇒ 25

On his first try the spell springs to life and dull flakes of rust begin to fall off the blade.

"Yes, I believe I can repair this, and your armor Kyson, with some time."

Kyson is happy to see Lavinia, but is a little confused by her less clothed appearance. What is more noticeable is how Kyson bends from the waist to keep his waist area from coming close to Lavinia's body.

Just like that nice Calistrian lady who needed clothes, she is. I wonder if Lavinia is going to walk the streets looking for a husband too.

"We rescued you! We rescued two damsels!"

They are going to let me back in the monastery now, for sure!

Kyson stands around happily, a bit too happily for his own comfort and looks for a pillow to hold in front of his waist area as he stands near both less-clad damsels.

* * *

Kyson nods to Zstelian. "Maybe we should clear the entire manor of bad guys, then collect all the loot together, then I should identify it all at once. I know some things, but not always lots of things, you know?"

"We killed some bad frogs in the basement. And we made a mess in the trophy hall too, Lavinia. Sorry."

Zstelian shrugs and offers the headband to the orcish princess.

"Can you take a look at this Khaz?"

"Oooh, that's pretty!" Khaz takes the headband and looks at it from several directions. "Look how the light refracts in the gems. Kyson, come look at this! Isn't it pretty?"

The lovely green princess hands out the headband, it's gems not that different than the color of her skin.

Kyson accepts the headband and checks out the gems.

"I like it. I wonder what it does. We should find out after we rescue more damsels. Lavinia, are there more damsels in the manor? We should check every room to be safe, right?"

Kyson pockets the headband for later.

Sigh...

Zstelian retrieves his armaments from the slain half-orc and frog-man, cleans them briefly, and then exits the room.

"Lavinina, you and the others barricade yourselves in here until we return with the all-clear."

The old ranger whistles sharply for Kayle to stick close and then exits the room.

I'm not sure what areas we haven't visited yet.

Sekathral examines the armour, sniffing it.

"Phew. Bugger must have bathed in manure. Still, who cares if I'm a bit ripe so long as I'm still standing? 'Scuse pong until I get this thing scrubbed, shipmates"

Sekathral will move out and help to secure the rest of the building, keeping an eye out for stray frogmen Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

"Perhaps, we let Lavinia hold onto that while we check double check the manor." Dargon says pointing to the potion is sanctuary.

"Lavinia, when you're fit to look into it, make sure you get the grate in the basement properly locked and sealed. It seems that's where they came up."

"Yes, I'll stay here with Liamae and we'll keep watch over Tolin and Zan," she says, as she draws a sheet over Kora's body, her eyes filling with tears.

"See if you can find Kaskus -- he should be the only other person here, Kyson -- and make sure the rest of these ... creatures ... are out of my home, please."

You've still got all of the second floor and a good chunk of the first floor to look through.

Khaz tromps along with the others, taking one last look at the pretty damsels, before shaking her head and heading out to kill things.

If I leave it up to the front-rank people to explore we're never going to finish.

Zstelian goes to the only room that hasn't been searched on the second floor, Vanthus's room.

Kyson smiles at the pretty women and thinks happy, fun thoughts.

I hope one of them will do me...
...the favor of writing a letter so I can get back in the monastery.

Kyson follows Khaz out, looking for trouble.

"Let's start on the 2nd floor and work our way down, eh?"

LOL, Kyson. I assume everyone's still in their rusty gear?

The last room in the upstairs is clean, well-ordered and almost sterile in appearance. It's obvious that no one's used this chamber in weeks. The luxurious four-poster bed has silk drapes and satin sheets, while a reading table and cabinet sit against one wall along with a bar with various -- empty -- bottles of wine and liquor and a collection of fine drinking vessels.
