No worries! Next time I ready an attack I'll do a pre-roll. Alternatively, feel free to roll AoOs for Brand if the opportunity arises. His attacks are on his sheet, but everything is +0. =)

She moves upstairs to help her companion
RTA: 1d20 ⇒ 6

But her ray misses her target. she was not very adept at shooting her rays at targets fighting

Copper runs up the stairs and sees Kazkaz attacking Brand. "Bad lizard!" She whips around her bladed scarf to cut it down before the shocker lizard does more harm.

Attk w/ Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 1 = 22
Dmg w/ Inspire Courage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

Copper nearly cut off one of Kazkaz's limbs but it manages to stay up.
In the meantime, Tasskar moves just behind Snapjaw, waves and chants before touching it. Snapjaw's teeth and tail starts glowing with magical energy.

Turn Order: Snapjaw & Kazkaz, Balenar, Ashen, Copper, Tasskar, Elsabeth, Isabella, Brand

Brandishing her rapier once more, Elsabeth will move up and attack Tasskar.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

@Elsabeth: You won't be able to reach Tasskar but I moved you up next to Kazkaz.

Isabella moves to Tasskar, trying to tumble past the shocker lizard. She then attacks the troglodyte

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Attack, Bard: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15
Damage, Bard: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Elsabeth misses Kazkaz while it blocks Isabella's advance towards Tasskar. (Acrobatics to go through Kazkaz fails, since it's the only path to reach Tasskar at half move speed. Your movement stops next to Kazkaz and he gets AoO) Kazkaz lashes out at Isabella who tries to parry...

AoO Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Parry: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15 (fail)
AoO Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Kazkaz bites into Isabella's thigh, but it's shallow.

Still waiting for: Brand, and Isabella's new Standard Action (unless you want those roles to go against Snapjaw/Kazkaz?)

Brand continues to attack Snapjaw.

Swing: 1d20 ⇒ 6 for: 1d8 ⇒ 2

... and fails horribly.

He then takes a step back, allowing the more combat adept to control the battlefield.

Sorry, I should have taken the -10 for full movement. I was just able to reach the spot I was in by moving: SE - E - NE - NE - N

@Isabella: It's alright, moving you back next to Tasskar. Just post with more details in the future. You'd still be taking AoO from Snapjaw though after Kazkaz... don't forget to record the -1 panache.

Bite AoO Attk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Bite AoO Dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Snapjaw tries to defend against the woman attacking its master but she jumps over his head easily. This repositioned her enough that Tasskar was able to deflect her attack with a claw.

Snapjaw continues to attack Isabella, deparately trying to get her away from Tasskar...

Bite Attk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Bite Dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Tail Slap Attk: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7
Tail Slap Dmg: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

... but she dodges the attacks as if she knew they were coming. Meanwhile, Kazkaz tries to take down the person who just hurt it badly, Copper.

Bite Attk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Bite Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Kazkaz also bites into Copper's leg, but it's shallow. His teeth is small apparently.

Turn Order: Snapjaw & Kazkaz, Balenar (delays), Ashen, Copper, Tasskar, Elsabeth, Isabella, Brand

RTA: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Ray of energy arches toward the croc

Cold: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Copper continues to try and take down Kazkaz, swinging her scarf around and bringing it down upon the lizard's head...

Attk w/ Flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 20
Dmg: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

... and cuts it off with ease! She steps up next to the crocodile and prepares to attack it as well. Tasskar hisses at Copper as he witnesses her killing one of his pets.

He continues hissing as he moves around the corner (Isabella's AoO is already spent for this round.) and begins waving his hands around as he begins to cast a spell. Balenar continues to sing and takes this opportunity to sneak behind Tasskar, draws his MW rapier and stabs him from behind.

FF Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 15

However, Tasskar's hide was too thick for him to penetrate...

Spellcraft checks to identify the spell.
Turn Order: Snapjaw & Kazkaz, Ashen, Copper, Tasskar, Balenar, Elsabeth, Isabella, Brand

Isabella takes a step in between Tasskar and Snapjaw and attacks the spellcasting troglodyte

Attack, Flank, Bard: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 27
Damage, Bard: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Threat confirm: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 13
Extra Damage, Bard: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Attacking Tasskar
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

SC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

"He seems to have more allies!" she calls out to her friends

Concentration check vs DC12: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 (success)

Tasskar manages to maintain his spell despite Isabella's successful attack. Elsabeth moves up to Tasskar but Snapjaw tries to bite into her as she passes by.

Bite Attk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Elsabeth's attack however was easily deflected by Tasskar's hide. Ashen has no idea what spell Tasskar is using.

Still waiting for Brand.

Brand moves into a flank on the crocodile. You can see a look of disappointment on his face as Kazkaz dies.

He swings his morningstar at the crocodile.

Brand attacks!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 for: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Brand smashes his morning star into Snapjaw's tail, leaving a fleshy bruised dent. However, it continues to focus on trying to take down the only person who hurt his master...

Bite Attk: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 = 26 crit? (@Isabella: I'll leave it to you to roll the parry & riposte attempt this time.)
Bite Attk: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23 confirmed
Bite Dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7
Free Grapple attempt: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Tail Slap Attk: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) - 1 + 2 = 7

... and he bites deep into Isabella's mid-section and somehow manages to hold on to her. Grappled condition for both of them unless Isabella manages to parry.

Turn Order: Snapjaw, Ashen, Copper, Tasskar, Balenar, Elsabeth, Isabella, Brand

RTA: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Another bolt of cold miss its target. This is not going well for her

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Let go of Isabella you reptile!" Copper says as she dashes to attack Snapjaw...

Attk: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 12
Dmg: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

... manages to slash a very long wound along its side but it still insists on holding down Isabella. In the meantime Tassar finishes chanting and a swarm of bats materialize around Brand and Copper which promptly starts attacking them.

Swarm Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Also, both of you take 1 bleed damage at the start of your every turn. (DC10 Heal check or any Cure to remove)

Tasskar starts to cast defensively...
Concentration check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

... but his claws start to burn only for a short moment before fizzling out.

Turn Order: Snapjaw, Ashen, Copper, Tasskar, Balenar, Elsabeth, Isabella, Brand

Brand cries out, and moves out from the swarm, and casts a cure spell on Isabella.

Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Thanks GM, unfortunately I only have a +5 total attack modifier, so beating a 26 is not possible. I subtracted one panache for the attempt

Isabella feebly raises her sword to parry the crocodiles attack. The crocodile is too fast and attacks her midsection while she expected an attack at her legs. Using her one free hand she tries to attack the crocodile, but the reptile restrains her from using her sword effectively.

Attack, Bard, Grappled Condition, Dex Penalty: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 6

1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 101d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Brand manages to runs away from the swarm and cure a struggling Isabella who could not bring her sword around to strike her captor. Snapjaw bites more strongly, tucks his legs, and rolls around rapidly trying to bring down Isabella.

Death Roll Dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Trip Attempt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Snapjaw pulls hard and brings Isabella down on the floor (prone) and it's still latched onto her!

Turn Order: Snapjaw, Elsabeth, Ashen, Copper, Tasskar, Balenar, Isabella, Brand

Ashen tries once more to fire of a beam of dark energy at the big crock
RTA: 1d20 ⇒ 20

This time, it hits, the energy seeps into its body, trying to sap it's strength

DC16, or str dmg for 3 rounds
Str Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Oh, it gives a penalty to strength, not strength damage.... darn. :-( Would have been cool if it did double.

5' step and attack the flank missing his strike.

@Elsabeth: No flank since Brand can't attack around that corner.

Snapjaw Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 (fail)

Snapjaw visibly withers after Ashen's ray hit it. So far it still manages to hold onto Isabella but it looks like it might let go anytime soon. Copper sidesteps and continues to flay it with her bladed scarf.

Attk: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 7

But it only bounced off Snapjaw's thick hide while the swarm continues to bite Copper.

Swarm Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 1 Copper has 3 dmg now.

Seeing that he's surrounded, Tasskar stops paying attention to his swarm and starts to prepare for melee combat. He begins chanting and focuses on his partially open hand...

Defensively Cast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 (success)

... where a 3-foot-long, blazing beam of red-hot fire springs forth and takes the rough shape of a scimitar. "Oh no! Watch out for that Flame Blade! It only needs to touch your skin before it burns you!" says Balenar who tries to stab at Tasskar once again.

Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14 (miss)

Turn Order: Snapjaw, Elsabeth, Ashen, Copper, Tasskar, Balenar, Isabella, Brand

Escape Artist, Dex penalty: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 - 2 = 5

Isabella tries to wriggle out of the crocodile's grasp but fails miserably!

It does. His str is reduced by 4. It affects anything str based

-Posted with Wayfinder

Brand attempts to try and free Isabella from the crocodile's mouth by hitting it with his morningstar.

Brand swings: 1d20 ⇒ 6 for: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Brand narrowly misses the crocodile struggling to maintain its hold on Isabella.
Maintain Grapple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Despite feeling very weak, Snapjaw manages to keep a tight hold on Isabella who is now struggling her back.

Turn Order: Snapjaw, Elsabeth, Ashen, Copper, Tasskar, Balenar, Isabella, Brand

RTA: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Yet another frost beam misses the large croc

"Grrrrr...."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Elsabeth will continue attacking
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Confirm
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 121d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Elsabeth manages to find a gap in Tasskar's hid and pierces his flesh. He roars and retaliates as a beam passes by harmlessly...

Melee Touch Attk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

... but Elsabeth is very agile on her feet despite her armor and manages to duck under his attack. Meanwhile, Copper frantically attacks Snapjaw to free Isabella despite the swarm around her.

Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 4 (10dmg staggered I forgot to account for bleed damage from Copper's previous turns. Retroactively added here.)
Attk: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

She cuts open another wide wound on Snapjaw's side reaches his jaw, instantly freeing Isabella but she falls unconscious from the attempt. Without Tasskar maintaining the spell, the bat of swarm disperses and exits the tower.

Seeing Copper fall, Balenar dashes around Tasskar and rolls on the ground once to get to her side as quickly as possible.

Rolling Tumble: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 success
AoO Touch Attk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

He successfully ducks under Tasskar's slice and reaches Copper. He immediately casts a spell to heal her.

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

And Copper regains consciousness, looking almost completely healed, but is still feeling groggy. She shakes her head, hoping for it to wear off "Uhhh..."

Turn Order: Isabella, Brand, Elsabeth, Ashen, Tasskar, Copper, Balenar

Brand steps away from the remaining foe, readying to attack if an enemy comes nearby.

Five foot step, ready.

Pre-emptive readied attack (although unlikely to be necessary): 1d20 ⇒ 5 for: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Isabella stands up and attacks the leader of the troglodytes

"Thanks Copper! Elsabeth, get behind him!"

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

She will use her last panache to try to parry the AoO if that happens

RTA: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Black tendrils wrap around the leader, trying to drag his vitality away

DC16 or be sickened for 3 rounds

move behind and attack.

1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 = 191d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

AoO Touch Attk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

@Isabella: He has combat reflexes. Roll your parry.

Isabella and Elsabeth pierces through Tasskar's thick hide who fails to defend himself as a beam of energy hits his gut.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 (success)

But Tasskar shrugs off the spell's effect with barely a pause. He continues to assault Elsabeth with all his might.

Flame Blade Touch Attk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Flame Blade Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Bite Attk: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8
Claw Attk: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13

Tasskar leaves a huge burn between Elsabeth's left shoulder and neck, the smell of burning flesh filling the air. Copper moves to completely corner Tasskar and whips her balded scarf around once again...

Attk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

... which Tasskar easily saw coming and leaned out of the way.
"Can you guys try not to get hit too often?" mumbles Balenar as he moves around to heal Elsabeth. Her burns recede but Elsabeth's wounds still look fresh.

CLW for Elsabeth: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Turn Order: Isabella, Brand, Elsabeth, Ashen, Tasskar, Copper, Balenar

Parry previous
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8...nope

Hurt badly by the attack Elsabeth recoils with pain thrusting her rapier forward as she shifts her weight back
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 211d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Current HP 5

RTA: 1d20 ⇒ 18

The shy mage tries again to sicken the apponant

Parry, Flank, Bard: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 9
Attack, Flank, Bard: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 25
Damage, Bard: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Isabella tries to deflect the flaming blade using her own sword, however her blade passes through the flame without effect. Luckily she is able to lean to the side so the burning scimitar passes her without injury. She then retaliates with a mighty swing aimed at the troglodytes exposed hand.

Brand runs around the perimeter of allies to find a gap in the fight, and swings his morningstar.

Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 19 for: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

After multiple attacks smashing and slashing at him, Tasskar is beginning to look very worn out. Now he is also feeling very sick. Despite all this, he continues to attack and chase away the intruders and focuses all his efforts against the one who looked most hurt.

Flame Blade Touch Attk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Bite Attk: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0
Claw Attk: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7

But the pain at his side prevented him from putting all his strength against his assault and completely misses. Copper brings her bladed scarf around again to attack him.

Attk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 (miss)

Balenar casts his last healing spell at Elsabeth "Luckily he did not hit you or you'd be dead already. Better not wait for that to happen though... Here, hold still for a bit"

CLW @ Elsabeth: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Everyone may act

Attack, Flank, Bard: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15
Damage, Bard: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Die, you ugly thing!

Attacking again
1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 81d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 1 for: 1d8 ⇒ 8

If Balenar has announced that he is out of healing spells, Brand will take a five-foot step back out of Tasskar's retaliation range.

Dawned on me that Brand's stupid curse won't let that happen. lol.

Brand five-foot steps away from the foe.

She pleads with the lizard man

-Posted with Wayfinder

Despite being cornered, Tasskar is saved by his thick hide where the attacks from the groups can't seem to find a soft spot.

Tasskar relentlessly assaults Elsabeth, feeling weaker every moment but he holds himself up by sheer fanatical willpower.

Flame Blade Touch Attk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Bite Attk: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (10) - 2 = 8
Claw Attk: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 = 11

But he is feeling to weak to make the strikes fast enough to hit. In the meantime, Copper tries to find an opening to attack Tasskar ...

Attk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

... and she was close to hitting him but Tasskar finally finds his poise as he deftly dodges her attacks. With Brand backing off, Balenar keeps singing, picks up his rapier and dashes to stab Tasskar.

Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26 crit?
Attk: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17 confirmed
Dmg: 2d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 + 2 = 7

Luck seems to have touched Balenar as he finds a small gap in Tasskar's scales and pushes his thin blade right into Tasskar's heart. Balenar swiftly pulls back his blade before Tasskar could retaliate but he simply collapses, the flame blade fading from sight but not before scorching the cold stone at his feet. Tasskar is bleeding and unconscious but clearly alive for the moment.
