Game Master Aerondor

Hanud moves across the room, drawing his waraxe. "Let me at the bastards!" He yells to Grigori.

Round 1 (Part 2)

Oops, sorry Hanud! If still allowed, I didn't take my move action.

Grigori steps aside to allow the angry dwarf passage. He begins to make his way outside in fact, and circles around to the nearest window...

Can Grigori enter the window in front of him? Or is it a climb?

Lots of waving of weapons and strong words, but apart from a brief flurry of magic, little lethal damage is done by the pathfinders.

After his embarrasing blow, Grigori falls back and tries to fidn another way in. Looking through the window he can see it is above some stairs going downwards. Getting through would be a squeeze.

Both of these would have given AOOs if the rogues had not been flatfooted by the sudden assault.

The rogue closes to Sehir swings at her
attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 cutting her badly
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The butrning one reflex dc15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 takes a little more damage 1d6 ⇒ 1 but strikes out at Faerin.
attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
The heavily armoured dwarf easily deflects the attack.
The one at that back waves his mace angrily at Sehir.
intimidate: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

"Fool. I had no quarrel with you. You don't want to get onto the wrong side of The Sanguine Beast."

A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Shaken is a less severe state of fear than frightened or panicked.

"Deary me Fearin, you seem to be in the way." Darius protests while continuing his rage song.

"Really? I apologise. Let me clear a path." A rather irritated Faerin replies in between swings.
Attack with raging Song. AC 18 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

If Hanud is able he would have stepped up to where Grigori was standing for an attack, otherwise, he'll wait for the rogues to come to him.

Hanud can step up now and attack
Faerin disables one of the thugs with a mighty swing Removed from the map, but technically he is diabled on 0, rather than dead.

Darius continues to goad is allies into acts of aggression.

"Oh jolly good swing there Faerin, keep it up. But do move to the side would you. I can't wait to swing as well."

"Take that ye Git!"

Hanud Swings his waraxe into the thug.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Round 2

Trying not to wrinkle his clothes or mess up his hair too much, the priest squeezes through the window. Moving down the stairs, he spots his next target.

"Za Rodina!" he cries with a swashbuckling smile upon his face. He swings his shasqua with gusto... but succeeds merely in fanning his enemy with the swooshing of his blade.

Attack (scimitar): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Cover gives a bonus to AC, but where does it stop AOOs?

Sorry, I accidentally posted that here, and just moved it to Discussion. Check the link I give there, it explicitly states no AoO's with cover.

Hanud swings and connects. The thug responds with an "urg" but is still on his feet. Grigori is able to squeeze through the window and climb the stairs. His exertion however means his blow goes wide.

"Ah a spot opened up, a joyous occasion."
Darius sees the opening, moves up and slashes at the guard with his greatsword, grinning like a maniac.
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
dmg: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11

He never took his action, but he will continue his song and move up and attack as a delay

Sehrli, a little impressed with the thug words, doubts and doesn't enter the room to fight. Instead, she raises a hand and casts a new elemental power against her enemies.

Not sure if I can cast another fire jet without affecting any team mate. If I can I cast it again. If I can't, I take an acid from the backpack (to get +1 to damage for alchemical component) and cast an acid orb to the northern thug

Fire Jet damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 (DC 13, same effects as before. Please remember that if they take the DC 15 Reflex roll to extinguish the flames, it's a Full Round action, son they can't attack that round)
OR
Acid Orb Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 3 - 2 - 4 = 15 (touch attack, applied shaken and cover modifiers)
Acid Orb damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Darius steps up and smacks down a thug. He collapses to the floor, bleeding. Well, it happens in the crazy jesters mind. Unfortunately in reality there still seems to be no way in through his companions.

Sehir draws another line of fire through the air
reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14, but again the northern thug avoids the worst of it.
reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11, his companion in the doorway does less well, and is still burning from the last flame1d6 ⇒ 5

Seeing his companions so easily dealt with, the northern thug draws a great sword and steps forward to engage with Grigori.
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

His blow is no more effective than his burning companions.

Couldn't I walk through our little dwarven friend to get near the enemies? Darius would be ever so sad if he can't at least draw some blood this fight ;).

He can, but cover or no cover, you'll have an AOO on you for going through that doorway other than as a 5' step. Darius's choice.

Not how I would read the rules as I leave a square it cannot make an aoo at me.

Darius sword slums down as everyone seems to be blocking his access to the fun.
"Bah you boys are no fun, going down when you only get hit once. Take them friends, I am bored with this fight." Darius says with a sad tone and proceeds to sit on the table.

Stopping song, but the morale bonusses continue for 2 more rounds thanks to community minded trait. Penalties however are gone.

"I'd offer the chance to stand down lad, but ye haven't earned it." Hanud growls at the half-orc as his swing goes wide.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Hanud takes a 5' step back to allow Faerin and/or Darius a better shot.

Round 3

Grigori smirks at the jester (if he can still see him), "All talk and no action, eh comrade Darius?"

Grigori carefully steps in and slashes enthusiastically at the remaining thug, coming closer to hitting his target this time. Though, no cigar yet.

5 ft. step N, then swing at Thug N:
Attack (scimitar): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7
Mods: +1 morale (Darius's rage)

At least I didn't roll a 1 or 2...

"Ye asked for a hammering and a Hammering is wat ye get!"

Faerin draws back her arms sinews tignten and lets loose an explosive round house swing.

Hammer, with bonus. 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 231d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Darius stops his enraging chatter, but the rage lives on! He waits for an opportunity to rush into the room and put his sword to use again.

Grigri steps up behind the thug, but even with the distraction of Faerin in front, can't seem to land a blow. Faerin however seems to have no such problem, giving the thug a glancing blow.

Haund tries to swing,but just hits the wallHanud cannot target the thug, who is on the other side of a wall from where he is now. He could strike the one in the doorway before, but that thug is now down. Hanud can pick another action if he wants.

Faerin can step into the roomn with no AOO if she wants to, giving space for someone else to get into the doorway and attack.

Sehrli takes an acid from the backpack and raises a hand, conjuring an orb of acid and throwing it to the last thug with a face of disgust.

Touch attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 2 - 4 = 6
Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"That's what the girl from last night said didn't she Grigori? Hihi hiii!" Darius laughs wiggling his pinky is a bent angle.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Faerin moves in in order to allow the others to get into this fight as well.

Honestly, he'll step up to strike through the door, after Faerin steps in, result will be the same.

"Fools! Never wake the wrath of The Sanguine Beast"

He swings once again at Grigori
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13
Knocking the priest hard.

"Ha! Run while you can little man."

Round 4

Grigori retorts the jester with a smirk, "I vwouldn't know what the girl from last night told you, comrade Darius." Observing his crooked pinky, "But if you say so..."

"Aй!" Grigori cries out in pain as the Beast's sword slashes into him. Staggered, he cautiously steps back, places his free hand above his deep, blood-spurting wound, and piously yet briefly prays to his deity for aid. The bleeding visibly slows to a halt, and while pointing with his blade the path now open to them, he announces to his nearest axe- and hammer-bearing companions, "Get him for me, my friends!" And to the jester, "And you! Get off your rump and circle around, lest this Silly Beast get scared of our ferocious dwarven comrades and run away through the vwindow!"

5 ft. step back and, no time to draw my wand, so... Spontaneously cast cure light wounds on self (drop obscuring mist):
HP Healed: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

"Less Talking more swinging." Faerin grouses out after ssing her companion take that hit. Taking a 5 foot step to better gain an advantage.

Attack with bonus 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Faerin follows up against the half orc, but his defences are too good for her quick blow.

Grigori is all too happy to take the chance to heal himself.

"Is that the best retort you have? Pfft I don't listen to old men with such bad jokes. It destroys my mood." Darius says solemnly, jawning at the same time.

-Posted with Wayfinder

There is room for Darius to get in and strike if he wants to. And if nobody else gets in first...

Delaying for our bardic friend.

Can someone post an action for Sehir and/or Darius?

They both step back and total defence?

Darius is delaying. Thought hanud would step up and attack

With the halforc on the back foot, two of the pathfinders take their time practicing dance moves in the doorway, while Sehir tries to summon a globe of acid over its head.
ranged touch into melee: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13
damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He roars in rage as the acid drips over his face, burning him deeply.

The greenskin swings his mighty sword at Faerin
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
But the stonelord's defence is too good.

"I'll see you all in hell"

The half orc is tough! He's still on his feet, and looking annoyed.

Hanud moves up to attack, taking the bonus as he can.

attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 1 = 13

Round 5

"Blessings, comrade Hanud." Grigori mutters a brief prayer to his goddess, then places a hand on Hanud's shoulder.

Grigori goads his enemy and boasts, "The Sissy Beast is all talk and little action. He's barely vwounded me with his mightiest slice." Looking at Darius, "Hmmm. Just like someone else we know!"

Cast guidance on Hanud.

Faerin strikes at the orc and scores a good blow, annoying him, when Hand tries the same maneuver, it doesn't go quite so well.

"Oh, do hurry up lads. I had high hopes that this time I would be in the presence of more able team mates. However, it seems that age has befallen some of them to do naught but mere rubbing his friends for luck. Perhaps his lack of success with the ladies has convinced him to try elsewhere? Hihihi!

Grigori cannot help but crack a smile at Darius's implication, but quickly retorts with sarcasm. "I suppose a man who wears tinkle bells and makeup is quite lucky with the ladies, eh? Ha!" Then more seriously, "Now how about a little less jesting and a little more getting off your arse and doing something helpful?!"

The Orc sneers at the lack of teamwork from the Pathfinder crew, and swings again at Faerin. The blow is a great one, and a lesser individual would have been cut in half. Even Faerin doesn't look too happy.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11

I've moved the unconscious slaver off the map. Someone can go through his square if you want to.

"You there, Orc. I suggest you put down your sword so you might survive. I assure you the moment I have to use this greatsword, I will do so very effectively and slowly. You will live for a couple of more days while I continue to cut and cut and cut. Now be a good boy and surrender so we can all have a drink hmmm?" Darius says with an evil grin cast at the remaining orc fighter.
intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

"As for these bells and make-up, they are to make it more challenging and interesting. With my looks and my wit, the ladies can't help but fawn over me. It is all the more ridiculous for the noble lord when his highborn wife cheats on him with a jester instead of a good looking chap. Oh you should have seen Lord Feraldus when he came home and found his wife in bed with me, white makeup all over her face! Hoo hoo hoooo!" Darius laughs and shakes his head with all the bells jingling at the same time.

Hanud, attempts to reach the orc to finish him off. Bonus is gone this round, IIRC.

"Stand down or die ye git!" He yells as his swing goes wide and he strikes the wall.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Yay dicebot.

Round 6

Darius's story of the nobleman's wife seems to have rekindled some fond memories in the priest. "Ah! An all too familiar tale, comrade Darius. Eh, except the part about the vwhite makeup. Is why I joined the Pathfinders, one cannot stay in one place too long when the nobleman finds out..."

Recalling that Sehrli is still present, he then clears his throat, "Ahem, or so I hear..." He then gets back to business. Drawing a foot-long wand of wood, he winks at Sehrli, then taps the wounded Faerin on her shoulder with a smile. "This always makes the ladies feel better, my dear."

Draw wand of cure light wounds, then use it on Faerin:
HP healed: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
