Rappan Athuk set in Nirmathas, Golarion

Game Master baldwin the merciful

Guh! Varl grunts as the arrow manages to penetrate his fullplate armor and drive its barbed head into his shoulder. Scanning through the underbrush Varl watches for the movement of the archer, his shield at the ready and his axe prepared to cleave into any of the goblin snakes that make it out of the pit.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Ready Action: Attack first goblin snake to get out of the pit within range.

Varl you simply know that the arrow that hit you came from the cave/hill, you think from higher ground. You do know that the single archer has talent and is not one of those scouts you previously faced.

"Grr...where is the bastars shooting at us? Anyone got eyes on 'I'm?"

perception

I missed your perception check previously, you do see the goblin archer is above the cave opening on ledge twenty feet high. He is wearing a greyish brown chain shirt that has leaves and twigs stuck to hit. He is wielding a longbow.

DMPC kalim's perception check:

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

He shakes his head in frustration.

"Another goblin! Little bugger's got proper armor and a longbow, on a ledge about 20' up."

Nibb gets up and try to look where Karnog said the goblin is.

Perception check:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

At the same time, he pick up the crossbow...

"Aarhhg! They're here too!"

Then Nibb retreats two steps in order to procure his safety.

5 feet step to G-3

After helping Agrim out of the pit, Rammellorn readies his long ax to charge the first offender that he can discern.

Rd2: GBS (Sergeant)

The goblin near Nibb uses his move action due to the terrain to get closer to Nibb (H-3), with an evil grin he slices at the is favored type of flesh...gnome,

longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10;1d6 ⇒ 1

But he misses, this creature becoming visible to Kalim and Varl from their locations.

It the end of the round, if you have not actually taken an action do so.

Varl's attack misses.

Kalim the archer is way out of your 30 foot range but the goblin sergeant is not, so unless you say otherwise i will direct the attack on the closer foe,

RD 3:

The archer lets his longbow string dance as an arrow targets Rammellorn,

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14;damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

but the arrow falls harmlessly nearby the dwarf paladin.

The snakes curiously do not follow up the side of the pt but rather they burrow.

Kalim fires again at the sergeant. ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7acid damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Ah got dis one Nibb! Varl yells swinging his axe towards the goblin. Help da others!

SA: Attack Goblin (H3) w/ PA 1d20 - 1 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 + 6 + 1 = 16
Damage 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Varl looks at his weapon as if it must be broken for missing the squirmy goblin.

kalim misses with his acid attack this time.

This stunted green skinned goblin with a hateful look on his face does have some decent armor on studded leather and heavy wooden shield. The leather looks of good craftsmanship. his longsword is pitted, and he has a couple visible throwing axes on his body.

Round 3

Vatilda strides forward snarling at the goblin before firing another dark bolt from her hand.

"Degga mahn ugrako d'efflen ik, gorcha"

move 30' to (F,-13)
eldritch bolt vs GA: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 ranged touch attack

>Updated battle map repost<

Round 3

"Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?! There are four nasties burrowing under us. Watch yourself!" Argrim announces and tries to get far away from the snakes.

_____________________

He double moves toward Kalim. Avoiding the goblin AOO and attempts to get total cover from the archer. He's trying to get in position to flank with Varl with his battleaxe, either the sergeant or snakes. I don't know which square is difficult, so I can't give you an exact position.

This is my last post for awhile. Good hunting!

Argrim you need to spend a move action standing up as you climb out of the hole. I'll ajjsut your movement.

Good luck tomorrow

Karnog calls upon the power and strength in dwarven.

As he finishes his brief prayer, a dull golden glow settles over the party.

Karnog casts bless: +1 morale to attack & saves vs. fear for 2 minutes.

He then moves in front of Vatilda, attempting to shield her as best as he can while being almost half her height.

"You could take cover behind me, be a smaller target for that archer bastard, then pop up and return fire."

"Ve.. ve... very well! I shall take the one over the cave!"

Nibb retreats a few steps to F-4 and will try to hit the goblin above the cave.

Shoot!:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Critical confirmation!:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage:2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

Am I able to move behind Nibb and still attack with reach? If yes, then I will do that for the sake of action economy at te risk of looking cowardly by taking cover behind the gnome.

Rammellorn moves quickly behind Nibb and strikes at the goblin in front of him with the reach of his long ax.

Attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage:1d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I keep forgetting that I have hatred +1 against goblins and orcs. Also, what range does detect evil at will have and last noob question: How does everyone get all green attack and damage posts? I haven't figured this out yet.

Agrim, nice shout out to Indy! good luck.

Nibb moves to F-4 and hits with his crossbow.

Argrim has to get up from the hole which is a move action, then he uses 15 foot of movement for his standard action positioning himself at G-2.

Karnog cast bless and moved to Vatilda

Rammellorn moves to F-3, hiding behind a gnome, and uses his reach weapon missing the goblin sergeant.

Detect Evil at Will is a 60 ft cone but requires std action and concentration, then it does take 3 rds to get complete information(and I do require that with the detection spells).

Rammellorn I didn't understand want you were referring to with all the green attack and damage posts?

longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10;damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

The archer fires another arrow at Rammellorn.

>Current map repost<

"I've got an idea on how to bring that pesky archer down. Everyone ok so far?"

Karnog sheathed his warhammer before reaching into his haversack for his rope. Finding it right on top and ready to grab, the surly dwarf is pleasantly surprised.

Dwarven:

RD 5: 19 rds of bless remaining. Move action sheath, move action retrieve rope. 5' step closer to the cave.

Round 4

Quickly looking of his shoulder, Varl watches as Argrim pulls himself out of the pit and rushes towards the goblin warrior he is locked in combat with. I’ll take the left, you take the right. Varl yells in dwarven to his friend. Just like a hammer un anvil.

MA: Move to I5 for flank w/Argrim vs H3
SA: Attack Goblin (H3) w/ PA 1d20 - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 20

Rd 4:

The goblin sergeant slumps to the ground with Varl's deft move and attack.

Nibb walks around the hole, careful to not slip and fall 20 feet to D-6, while he recharge his crossbow...

Good, I think I know how this works... It seems not like a big deal.

Then, he will try to find a good angle to shoot at the goblin archer.

Round 4
Rammellorn drops his long ax at the sight of seeing the sergeant go down and draws his composite shortbow and knocks an arrow.
Feckin' vermin fight like cowards. Come down here and fight you pest!Rammellorn takes careful aim at the goblin shooting at him from the cliff and lets an arrow fly his way.

Attack1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage1d6 ⇒ 4

Rammellorn's shot is close but pings off some of the twigs he has extended from his armor. He snarls at you showing is 7 teeth.

MAP

RD 5: Archer

The twig covered creature aims his bow and plucks the string letting it rip at Karnog.

Archer: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 = 26;damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

There a squeal of delight as the arrow sinks home.

RD 5

The snakes are burrowing and are a non-factor.

Cutting down the goblin warrior, Varl turns knowing that his friends are still in danger. Banging his axe against his shield, the dwarf rushes forward on his stubby legs towards the mouth of the cave to hopefully draw fire from the archer and protect Vatilda

Full Action: RUN! (G16)

"Ouch. You little bastard!"

Karnog moves closer to the cave, tying a quick slipknot in his rope, fashioning a basic lasso loop.

Karnog are you taking an action?

Argrim G-5 and -6 are difficult terrain G-9 through -12 is not that is large tree overhanging. F-13 and -14 is bush so it is difficult terrain

Ok, the move to G7 is clear so I will do that.
