[dice=Climb]1d20+5

Scarlet finishes climbing down. "Alia... damn it."

With no wait to heal her, she just cries "I need a medic, fast!"

Miles bites his lip after hearing this.

I drew the 10ft square, but I'm no good with drawing that thing so I apologise that is looks crap.

GM GGG I asked in discussion but it got missed.. How many arrows can I carry 20? 40?, I've been keeping track and have used 7 or so. I have lots in my inventory

Numalar darts over towards Illthir and ducks down behind the battlements. He continues to watch the tower where Arbalasti stands.

Move action to move 15' and then ready action to snapdragon fireworks Arbalasti again if he tries casting.

"I could help Alia if I could get down there. Illthir, do you have rope? I'm not much of a climber but someone could lower me."

Sorry, I didn't quite get the question last time. Technically it depends on encumbrance. Zokon could pack on as many quivers full of 20 arrows apiece (3 lbs/quiverful) as he could carry. So so long as you have some weight to give 40, 60 or 80 are all fine.

"I could help Alia if I could get down there. Illthir, do you have rope? I'm not much of a climber but someone could lower me."

Scarlet is climbing down a rope right now. Currently she is 10' above the ground.

I drew the 10ft square, but I'm no good with drawing that thing so I apologise that is looks crap.

Grease is a 10' square, but it looks like you've got a cross going on there on the map, so I'm just centering the square on the cross. There are both scalable cross and square shapes available along the top bar of the Slides file (that circle hovering over a square-looking icon) when opened on a PC or laptop that you can use--nearly no drawing needed. ;)

The melee in the courtyard continues!

yellow waraxe v Serena (rage!): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Miss

Both crossbowmen sight down their bows and fire grazing the skald and the sorcerer despite their cover.

black (tower top) crossbow v Illthir: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3
Threat!
black confirm?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Additional damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Hit, no crit

purple (arrow slit inside tower) crossbow v Numalar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8 Hit

Numalar topples a bolt in his chest!

Arbalasti chucks an improvised explosive chemical device at the corner of the battlements that Numalar is hiding behind.

Fire bomb v Numalar (range, range touch): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 4 = 11 BOOM!: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4) + 3 = 9 Miss: 1d8 ⇒ 6

It sails long and explodes noisily to the southeast on the cathedral roof kicking up flagstone.

"Father's going to kill me."

When Miles flickers into focus Angus eyes him evilly.

"Yoo're only puttin' aff th' inevitable." Angus says as he stalks around the grease.

Total defense.

Warbeard searches about for the client.

Blue gives his potion to the downed guard.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Groggily the guard comes around. Blue hauls him to his feet, and tells him to get inside under cover.

1d20 + 16 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 16 + 20 = 40
1d20 + 16 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 20 = 46

Inspire courage An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. Began round 2.

Bless (for most) Each ally gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects.

The area of darkness is dark. The area between the guardhouse and the cathedral is dim.

Map updated. Note: the elevations of peaked roofs applies to the peak itself. Other spaces will be lower.

Durgan takes another double move, hoping his 25' Invisibility Purge will reveal Hotspur.
As before, may change movement if he reveals Hotspur's presence, and might take a standard if he does so within a single move.

"Where do you think you're going?" Warbeard says to Durgan.

Durgan reveals Miles again, but no Hotspur. How close is Durgan passing to Warbeard?

"Awrite thaur leprechain?" the skald says to Miles.

Durgan wasn't going to pass within AOO range. Skirting the edge of the tower.

But if Warbeard speaks up with a challenge, I could have Durgan stop with a single move and fight him. Whatever makes for a better game.

That is completely your call, but Ledda does speak as Durgan comes into view.

"This area is off limits until things are under control. You and yours get back to the great hall." It doesn't come out as a suggestion.

Very well then.
"If you'd ally with the Stag Lord, I have to oppose you."
Durgan moves towards Warbeard and swings his axe.
Attack, Bless, IC: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Axes lock. Battle is joined!

Serena takes another swipe at [yellow], finding her footing this time. "You can surrender, you know. There's no need for me to have to kill you."

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 18 Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Serena fells her assailant.

Scarlet continues to climb down.

Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

After Scarlet's first move this round (which puts her on the ground) she would need a burrow speed to continue downward.

You know I could have made Scarlet an Oread, as she's associated with magma.

Scarlet's finally at the bottom, and checks on Alia.

Heal: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

"Uhhh... Medic!"

"Right around the corner if your friends haven't killed him." Blue says angrily.

"Huh? Oh yeah, maybe I can ask Angus! Thanks bro!" Scarlet is cheerful as usual. I knew my bro wouldn't let me down.

"Hey Angus! I need some healing here!"

Zokon will fire a pair of arrows at yellow dwarf

"Hey you! the one with the... ugly beard.. " and then he fires

Comp Bow+pbs+bl+inco-da-rs: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Comp Bow+pbs+bl+inco-da-rs: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Zokon will fire a pair of arrows at yellow dwarf

Serena already got that one. The stairway is now clear of foes.

"Hey Angus! I need some healing here!"

"Be reit thaur hen, thes shooldnae tak' but a tick." says Angus with murder in his eyes at the suddenly visible Miles.

Zokon moves to just behind Serena and takes a bead on Angus

Scarlet is climbing down a rope right now. Currently she is 10' above the ground.

Is the rope a knotted rope? My climb skill is -2. If it is just a regular rope Numalar might not survive the fall.

Edit: does Arbalasti throwing the bomb trigger my readied action?

"Ow!"

Concentration: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Illthir grunted in pain, but it would take more then that to disrupt her concentration. She made a rude gesture towards the crossbowmen but could do much more at the moment.

I had written this long addendum to Arbalasti's post where I had mentioned that if Numalar wanted to he could attempt a Wisdom check DC 10 to see if it triggered his readied action (since Arbalasti is obviously not casting a spell) and then I noticed that after the crossbowman shot Numalar that he was at -1 hp and then I erased it all. So I need a constitution check or if you want to fiery escape (which i imagine you have the spell mojo left to do If you are readying snapdragon--in which case see Wisdom check above).

Oh and like Zokon, have you been keeping track of how many arrows (spells) you have left in your quiver?

Dang... missed that. Too many posts to look through. :)

Numalar sees the bolt coming at the last second, and with a word turns into a statue of solid gold! The bolt glances off him harmlessly. The gold color quickly fades leaving him as before.

Yeah, I'll use draconic defense. I haven't really cast much this battle. So I'll use it again in later rounds if I am hit again.

The rope is not knotted but there is a wall to brace against so the DC is 5.[/ooc]

Since Numes is still up on his feet, and you asked....

Wisdom DC 10: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Fireworks spring from Numalar's finger tips and strike the tower-top above.

fire damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Arbalasti reflex (hardy, DC 16): 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 2 = 18 Half damage and not dazzled.

Revealed in all of his timorous glory, Hotspur's small herald, Milesbot, tosses a wobbly bag of goo at the very angry dwarf and then darts for cover behind Zokon.

tanglefoot bag v Angus (bless, inspired, ranged touch): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 14

It goes *SPLAT!* all over the skald sticking him in place.

Angus reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Cursing in rage he hacks at the taffy-like stuff nearly cutting through!

mwk waraxe (rage!): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Arbalasti chucks another improvised explosive chemical device at Numalar but the fireworks distract him.

Fire bomb v Numalar (range, range touch): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 4 = 1 BOOM!: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 5) + 3 = 10 Miss: 1d8 ⇒ 6

It sails long and explodes noisily to the southeast on the cathedral roof kicking up more flagstones.

"And then he's going to raise me from the dead and kill me again."

Warbeard attempts to shove through Durgan, but Durgan doesn't move.

Warbeard improved overrun v Durgan (rage!): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Miss

"Hey Angus, whos side are you on.. do I have to take you out or ya gonna, work with us?" he shouts at Angus while looking down the shaft of a blunt arrow

Hearing the fray, Blue spins and rushing at the battle between his lieutenant and Durgan mutters a quick spell.

hydraulic disarm v Durgan!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Miss

Water scythes the air above Durgans head and splashes against the stable with the strength of a river torrent.

The gate guard staggers into the guardhouse.

While the crossbowmen continue to fire upon Illthir and Numalar.

black (tower top) crossbow v Illthir: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3 Miss

purple (arrow slit inside tower) crossbow v Numalar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1 Miss

Both bolts are caught by the merlons.

1d20 + 16 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 16 + 20 = 53

"Hey Angus, whos side are you on.. do I have to take you out or ya gonna, work with us?" he shouts at Angus while looking down the shaft of a blunt arrow

Bloody Angus continues cursing in Dwarven like a mad man, shouting all sorts of nearly intelligible threats.

Bloody Angus continues cursing in Dwarven like a mad man, shouting all sorts of nearly intelligible threats.

"I see your point." he replies and then he fires a couple blunt arrows at Angus

Bow+bl+ic-rs-da: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Bow+bl+ic-rs-da: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"Who'd I get these arrows from, they fly all over the place?." he mutters after seeing the arrows spray

No one seems to be paying attention to the unconscious elf. That's a relief.
Now, what did Alia tell her? Above all, make sure I have my estoc at my side at all times.

"Oh right, she's always working on that blade." Scarlet begins searching Alia's body for her blade...

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

A quick look reveals nothing, so she starts looking nearby.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

I want to confirm Scarlet fails to find the weapon before going after Ledda. 'Cause that would be metagaming.

Serena moves to engage Angus. "Surrender now," she warns the skald. "Don't make me harm you." She will fight defensively for this round, waiting to see if her offer is taken.

Durgan takes a 5' step back, then draws and drinks a potion of Enlarge Person.
"Listen to the paladin. Surrender and do not help the bandits."

Illthir and Scarlet hear a splash from the moat next to the drawbridge!

"Huh? What was that, in the moat?" She looks up at Illthir. "Did you hear that?"
