Yes Ulfgar it is a +2 to your AC. I was refering to Buri's AC when
I meantioned the number 22.

Before opening the door Buri taps Ulfgarwith his wand of clw as requested.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

After entering the room Buri charges the half orc.

Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 16
Dmg: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9

Buri runs full speed in a downwards direction straight at the half-orc and manages to hit his target

The human Aspis with the green sweater carefully moves around to avoid the swirling fog and keeping the pillar between him and Ulfgar avoids an "accidental" swing from the dwarf

and then tries to stick his sword into Buri's back
To hit AC Buri: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
but ends up being to nervous and looking of his shoulder at the strange swirling and sparkling fog to focus enough to hit

The human Aspis with the red shorts takes a step closer to Ulfgar and tries to take advantage of the fact that Ulfgar overextended as he ran forward
To hit AC Ulfgar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
and stick his sword into Ulfgar's torso
Damage Ulfgar: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Myrayah, Velinov, Kajar
Half-orc
Ulfgar, Buri
Human Aspis

Damage Half-Orc: 9

Myrayah moves into flank with Buri, and proceeds to unravel the agent's green sweater with her scimitar.

Whatever it is you wanted to steal this tower for, it will not succeed!

Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 251d6 ⇒ 4

She then prepares to fend of enemy attacks.

knowledge arcana: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Velinov takes a moment to study the fog the villains seem so concerned about and what the magical implements could be intended for. Will breaking the circle disrupt the ritual/summoning/prison?

Kajar moves to assist Ulfgar with the Aspis agent in the red short pants.

"Looks like the others have their hands full, too! Let's wipe the tower with this one, Master Ulfgar!"

Orc double axe, both hands: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

Myrayah moves into flank with Buri, and proceeds to unravel the agent's green sweater with her scimitar.

Velinov is able to determine that breaking the circle will not disrupt anything at this point..but he is very convinced that being inside the cirlce right now would be very, very bad for the person inside.
Feel free to move if you want..I guess you'd want to be next to one of the Skylances

Kajar moves to assist Ulfgar with the Aspis agent in the red short pants. But his assistance provides a distraction at best.

The Half-orc Aspis agent grins a toothy smile and raises his greataxe and tries to decapitate Buri

To hit AC Buri: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20
Damage Buri: 1d12 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 4 + (6) = 17

and almost causes a huge gap in the side of Buri's neck from which blood would have started to flow if it wasn't for his though hide
Your current AC is 22 right?

Ulfgar, Buri
Human Aspis (parry is up)
Myrayah, Velinov, Kajar
Half-orc

Damage Half-Orc: 9
Damage Green: 4

Ulfgar takes a step back, and another swing at the Aspis agent in the red short pants.

PowerAttack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 23 Should be a hit on boss adds in tier 1-2 right?
Damage: 1d12 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 3 = 19

"And stay down!"

Ulfgar cuts his opponents almost in half

Buri delays..unsure on what to do
The green sweater wearing Aspis tries to stick his short sword in Buri's back
To hit AC Buri: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

init
Myrayah, Velinov, Kajar, Buri
Half-orc
Ulfgar
Green

Damage Half-Orc: 9
Damage Green: 4

Recovering from the near death experience Buri press on with his attack at the half orc.

Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 26
Dmg: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 12
Crit Dmg: 2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 7) + 4 + 4 = 18

Myrayah continues to attack "green"

Pick on someone your own size, will you!

Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 121d6 ⇒ 4

And continues to defend.

Help! My d20 is stuck!

Carefully skirting the magic circle, Kajar moves towards the half-orc, flanking with Buri.

"You could surrender and we could all walk out of here in one piece, but why do I get the feeling that's not your intent?"

Kajar swipes at him with his axe.

Orc double axe, both hands: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

@Myrayah- Yeah, me too!

Kajar snarls fiercely and barks at the other half-orc.

Velinov fires a blinding ray at the half-Orc.

On phone, can someone please move me into an appropriate spot out of Marlee but with los

ranged touch: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 4 = 1

"Try pushing them into the fog but don't touch it yourself!"

Buri delivers a viscous slice which sends the half-orc into a bloody state..but it's as he refuses to go down by sheer will power.

Myrayah continues to attack her target but her weapon can't pierce the leather armor the Aspis agent is wearing

Carefully skirting the magic circle, Kajar moves towards the half-orc, flanking with Buri, swiping at him with his axe but the bloody half-orc just steps to the side and evades the attack.

Velinov moves and fires a blinding ray at the half-Orc, but the half-orc was just busy sidestepping Kajar's attack and the ray hits the pillar next to him.

Having a new target the Half-Orc swings his great axe at what must be the greatest enemy threat - the other half-orc

To hit AC Kajar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage Kajar: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

before his internal determination gives in to his blood loss and he falls over on the floor.

Other stuff

Damage half-orc: 20
Damage green: 4

Ulfgar takes a step back and swings his longaxe at the last standing Aspis Agent.

PowerAttack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 + 2 - 1 = 11

edited, but nvm

Ulfgar carefully avoids the circle and walks around it to swing his axe at the last standing Aspis Agent.

Just to be clear, even though there are magic circles only the south one actually has swirling magical fog inside it ...you could most likely possibly walk through the other one unharmed.....maybe

But his swing goes wide as he is carefully counting his steps to avoid possibly ending up on a different plane..or summoning a lemon (don't you just realy dislike spelling errors on scrolls?)

The Aspis agent in return tries to hit Myrayah after taking a step away from the rest of you

To hit AC Myryayah: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
who desperately tries to parry the attack, but the lucky cut is too fast for her to turn aside
To confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Damage Myrayah: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Party
Aspis

Damage half-orc: 20
Damage green: 4

Kajar withstands the brunt of the enemy's attack, but is deeply wounded by it.

"Surrender wasn't his intent."

Kajar coughs up some blood.

"I might need some healing, but get HIM first!" Kajar shouts, pointing towards the Aspis agent in the green sweater.

The half-orc then dashes towards the other skylance, avoiding the smoking circle and the Aspis agent. He draws his crossbow once he reaches the skylance.

Buri tries to finish off the half orc.

Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 13
Dmg: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10

Ulfgar walks up behind the aspis agent again.

PowerAttack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 + 2 - 1 = 18
Damage: 1d12 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 3 = 11

Maybe I should have asked if the other agent was dead-dead, not just dying and a power attack might not have been needed..

"There's no kill like overkill"

Kajar dashes towards the other skylance, avoiding the smoking circle and the Aspis agent. He draws his crossbow once he reaches the skylance.

Buri makes sure the half-orc never gets back up again

Ulfgar walks up behind the remaining aspis agent and takes him out of the fight.

Out of combat for the next 3 rounds (at your tier) before other stuff starts to happen..since you only have a few rounds I'm not going to list all equipment the Aspis had with them since it will take about a round to loot any of them, and 1 round or longer to identify what it could be..and you also need to heal a bit..so please state what you want to do for the next 3 rounds

You notice that what ever is inside the glowing fog in the magic circle is striking at it's confines from with in..trying to get out.

Also I think that today is the last day we have for the special..just so you know

As Ulfgar dislodges his axe from the Aspis agent thigh, he calms down and immediately an exhaustion comes over him. He grips his axe more closely and stabilizes himself, putting the shaft of the axe on the ground and leaning on it for support.

"So, Velinov," * kuch, kuch* "you think you can close this magic circle, or somehow make it stop?"

As he says that, he takes a careful step back. You can never be too sure about these things.

Does Velinov know if the circle was to summon or to imprison the black fog? Is there a way to activate the skylances to point at the circle/creature in the circle?

Velinov remains expressionless as he ponders the scene before him.

"Ulfgar, take a look at the skylance over there to see if you can aim it at the circle. Buri, can you see to the injured with Myrayah's wand(I think it was hers?)? I have a bad feeling about this and I don't think the circle is going to hold much longer. I'm hoping we can bring enough firepower from the skylances to simultaneously hit whatever comes out of this."

It looks like we can all activate the skylance 1/day for 2d6. 5 x 2d6 in a round may be our best opener.

Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

44/50 Charges

"That sounds like a good plan"

After gathering up what can be grabbed quickly from the enemy equipment, Myrayah moves to the southern Skylance and readies to shoot a scorching ray at the entity in the circle should it take hostile actions against any of us.

Skylance - Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 72d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

**Overseer Announcement**

THE END: Siege of Serpents
***********************************

As you can see the special is over, but to give you a summary of what else was going to happen;

The half-orc was carrying the Skykey, which has a side effect of random teleporting the person who carries it when you fail a save vs a spell

The Aspis also carried a few potions, including cure light potions.

After 3 rounds the magic circle would start to break and (at your tier) small lightning elementals would break out and attack

If you make it past that wave, the thing inside the circle - a protean worm - breaks out and attacks as well.
