I'm a little confused. What round are we on now? If 2 still, I finish growing and then move up to speak/threaten. If 3, than I need to still act. I just don't want to cause further confusion if we are still in round 2.

Well, assuming it's round 3, I'll move up, grab the ladder on the ground and try to set it, taking the fight to the murders.

Sorry for the late reply; making movies is hella taxing.

Sharimus fires his crossbow at the bandit on the platform, but misses. He then heads towards the base of the ladder Gunther has set up.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 81d8 ⇒ 8

From around the corner of the middle treehouse a man appears.

I am Fiveknives Kalim! Take them, Safira!

He points, and the black panther from before appears from the bushes, heading straigth for Lilia's throat, biting her in the neck.

Charge, Bite: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23Miss chance, high is good: 1d5 ⇒ 4Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4Trip attempt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

He then swiftly tosses two daggers at Lilia's back, but the canopy makes his aim go off. He then draws another two, fast as the wind.

Attack roll, thrown dagger: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 - 2 = 13
Attack roll 2, thrown dagger: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 = 8

Thrown shortspear: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Then the scout steps back onto the bridge, drops his bow with one hand, grabs a shortspear from its quiver and throws it at Gunther, doing 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 damage.

@GM: I turned invisible with the potion, then moved. Shouldn't the enemies be unable to locate me unless they make incredible perception rolls?

Lilia you didn't roll a stealth check btw

"A creature can generally notice the presence of an active invisible creature within 30 feet with a DC 20 Perception check. The observer gains a hunch that “something's there” but can't see it or target it accurately with an attack. It's practically impossible (+20 DC) to pinpoint an invisible creature's location with a Perception check." - Invisibility

A stealth check doesn't seem to be required, but it can raise the DC according to the table in the link. I figured I'd rather move at full speed, which lowered the Perception DC by 10. So the DC to notice I'm within 30 of you is just 10 (though the panther will automatically smell my presence with its scent ability), but the DC to pinpoint my actual square is 30.

Please correct me if I misunderstand this.

@GM: I turned invisible with the potion, then moved. Shouldn't the enemies be unable to locate me unless they make incredible perception rolls?

And yet still they did know exactly where you were... Strange, isn't it? Almost as if it could smell you from a mile away..

DC 10 INT check for Lilia: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Lynn's eyes widened with shock as the black cat dashed out of the forest and leapt at where she assumed Lilia was. She let out a shriek and started forward her footfalls long and elegant, her voice undulating in a war chant from the southern seas. As she moved she digging free her Clw wand holding it behind her as she bounded toward her foe.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

She takes another shot at the same target, missing
Get out of the way so that I can get up there she remarks.

(Maanyatha, don't forget you can pass through allied spaces!)

Sharimus climbs the ladder.

I forgot to move my token last turn..i said i was moving towards the ladder...

Moving onto the bridge doesn't seem like a great plan with a panther next to her and Lynn heading toward her as well, so Lilia changes her plan. She takes a big step to end up north of the panther, drops her bow, draws her swords, and attempts to stab the panther.

Colf Iron Short Sword, from invisibility: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Damage, SA: 1d6 + 5 + 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (1, 3) + 1 = 13

Lilia's foot slips on a wet rock and she misses the panther.

Ill climb the ladder and come to stand just north of Sharimus, hoping that with my increased reach, it will force the enemies to leave themselves open.

Im built around drawing AoOs.

Looking at Sharimus and pointing to the lone agent to the left, "Focus on him (her). See if you can force them closer to me, or even get behind them."

The leftmost guard drops his bow, then takes out his longsword and swings at the rope of the bridge.

Attack roll DC 5: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
The bridge is now difficult terrain.

"Kalim!! Cut the other rope!"

He shouts to the other man.

"Order me around again and I'll cut off a finger, Adams!

The answer rings, as one knife flies through the canopy towards Lilia but misses. Another one flies towards the second rope that holds the bridge, making Sharimus and Gunther fall towards the ground.

After seeing her master attack, the black panther jumps into the fray with the distracted young scoundrel once more, ravaging her for 20 damage.

As the bridge rolls over like a hammock, Sharimus gets thrown off and receives 3 Damage as his face hits the roots on the jungle floor. Gunther however, manages to stay on as he frantically jumps next to Fivefingers, barely holding his balance on the ledge.

Lynn changed her straight line charge into a slight zag(northwest>northeast) to avoid the ripping claws of the panther. Her battle cry comes to a peak and the surrounding air turns to a shards as a cacophony of sound echoes through the jungle floor.

CoS(Ref14=Negate): 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1) + 1 = 5
[ooc=spells]1/3 1st lvl spells, 5/9 performances remaining, +1 attack/damage still in effect[/ooc]

Sharimus draws his crossbow, loads and fires it at the enemy on the left.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d8 ⇒ 8

move action draw and load due to +1 BAB, standard fire

The scarred panther sees the crystalline shards materialize and does a barrel roll, avoiding it completely. Sharimus changes tactics, to no avail.

Taking a few free shots before the mercenary can sever the ropes, I'll try to grab the ledge for extra stability if possible.

Acrobatics (if needed): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

AoO 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7

AoO 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12

Afterwards stepping into the room, I'll glance down to the Grippli within, trying to see if they are at least still alive.

Longspear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 = 13

Gunther recognizes the elder grippli Mother Bogwynne, tied up to the center post. She stares at you with scared eyes.

"Hurry up! These people have no mercy!"

She manages to cry out, before a snarl from Fiveknives shuts her up.

If I could just roll something worth having. . .

So I should be able to run up the rope where the elf is correct?

The dice gods crave offerings! And Maanyatha, getting up there requires you to A. Move around to a ramp, or B. Climb up 20ft at 1/4th your speed with a DC 15 climb check.

Don't forget this'll be your round 2 action Maanyatha not your round 3 action quite yet unlike sharimus, n' gunther

Lynn is correct, you get a second turn. You could move and charge the tiger, for example?

She will move and charge the tiger with her naginata
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

@GM: I don't see it in the description, but judging from my slanted token and the rolls in the spoiler I'm prone?

Lilia's both prone and disabled, but decides to put all of her remaining strength in one last attack versus the panther.

"Don't you dare touch Lynn!" she yells at the panther, and thrusts one of her swords at the animal.

Cold Iron Short Sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The strain's too much on her body, and Lilia passes out from blood loss. Her features change as she reverts to her usual form; a kitsune with crimson fur.

You're not prone, just staggered.

As Maanyatha runs up and charges, the cat nimbly dodges what could have been a deadly blow. Gunther takes a few pot shots but does not manage to do much, while Lilia uses her last strength to fiercely stab the now distracted beast with blood running down her face as she passes out.

Fiveknives takes a step towards the now giant Gunther, and hisses between gritted teeth.

"Oh, it's on, big guy.."

One dagger is deflected by Gunther's armor, but the other drives deep into his left shoulder for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 damage.

The cat, seeing his previous target no longer as a threat, focuses its attention on Lynn. She manages to dodge the sharp fangs aiming for her throat, but the pair of claws that follow rake her for 2d3 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7 damage.

Seeing his superior in trouble, the scout steps back inside and picks up his bow again, firing it into Gunther's back for 1d8 ⇒ 4 damage.

Lynn watched as Lilia pushed herself a bit further stabbing the jaguar, before passing out. The Cat now focused on her misses her throat possibly due to it's new wound. However her split focus causes her to be hit by the heavy claws ripping through her feeble dress and leathers leaving a large wound.

She gathered what breath she could and let loose her final ounce of offensive magic in yet another air shattering yell.

CoS(ref14): 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7
concentration(incase): 1d20 + 2 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 3 + 2 = 24

round 2
Assuming her attack put the creature down or at least stunned it Lynn would quickly bend a knee toward Lilia's body and using her wand to seal up some wounds.
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Noted

Sharimus loads his crossbow and fires at the bandit to the west.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 71d8 ⇒ 5

Stabilize: 1d20 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 - 1 = 10 Yay!

I'm assuming Lynn casts defensively and that Sharimus walks a bit before he can see his target.

More chords fly towards the scarred panther and again it dodges deftly. Sharimus fires away, but also finds the canopy distractful in lining up a shot. Lilia coughs up some blood, but snores contently after, stabilized.

Maanyatha, your turn! Hit it hard!

The nagaji will attack the panther again with her naginata to keep it at a distance.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

She would be pretty deadly if she could hit, lol

Im pretty sure Im 1 round ahead of everyone.
Round 1 move and begin casting Full Round spell
Round 2 finish casting spell and move
Round 3 picked up ladder and move it
Round 4 climbed up + AoOs.

As the Nagaji lashes out with her polearm, her blade getting caught in the panther's fangs. IT retaliates with a quick step towards Maanyatha, following with the rythmic calculation of a predator fed up with being cornered for 1d6 + 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + (1) + 3 = 5 damage. The attack trips the bloodrager, leaving her open to attack. (-4 AC vs melee attacks)

Fiveknives utilizes years of experience in close range combat to stab Gunther twice, the Cleric barely dodging much deadlier blows by sacrificing his wrists so soften the blow for 2d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 + 2 = 10 damage.

The scout, seeing his superior regaining the upper hand, steps out of the treehouse and fires a shot at Sharimus but the canopy also hinders his line of fire too much to be effective.

The naginata is a reach weapon.

Sharimus loads and fires again.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d8 ⇒ 7

Hold on Gunther...

if that drops him i will move towards the ladder

The naginata is a fine reach weapon, indeed.

The scout takes an arrow to the knee, but stands!

I think what maanyatha meant was the creature moving would provoke an Aoo, not sure though

Lynn gave a vulpine snarl at the cat as she took a step North pulling another potion from her bag. The potion of hide from animals and used her wand to heal Lilia once again.

rapier: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

All my NPCs always take 5ft steps if they can and only have to move 5ft.

That was supposed to be my wand not my rapier XD

Admit it, Lynn; you wanted to stab me! :(

"Thanks, Lynn," Lilia says warily as she gets back up.

For a moment Lilia considers to first change back to her human appearance and hope no one but Lynn saw her true appearance, but Lilia realizes her allies are in a pinch and she cannot afford to spend time on her transformation. She instead bends over and picks one of the cold iron swords that slipped from her hands up again.

"Could you maybe give me some more healing, Lynn?"

I admit nothing!

Grabbing her sansketukon, the bloodrager enters into a bloodrage and begins to attack the cat, even as she is on the ground.
1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 4 = 15
1d10 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

As the newly transformed Kitsune gets up from the ground, the Nagaji barely misses, her speed hindered by her position on the ground. The panther retaliates with a furious combination of claws and bites, rending Maanyatha badly for 1d6 + 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (3) + (3, 4) + 9 = 19 damage. It glares at Lilia afterwards with a terrified look in its eyes and blood running from its flanks.

Fiveknives, seeing his pet ravage his enemy, shouts an order to his scout before heading over the bridge towards Lynn and Lilia.

"You! Take care of that elf down there! These girls are mine! Safira, take 'em out!"

The scout nervously nods, and fires another shot at Sharimus, hitting him in the upper leg for 1d8 ⇒ 6 damage.
