New rule: when you are in the google map document, please open the live chat box at the right. I would gab with ye. Looking at you anonymous users 22 and 2785.

Danaris takes a five step drop to K7 and fires another arrow at the beast.

attack:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4 Firing into melee, right?
damage:1d8 ⇒ 2

Ah, back to normal

Diplomacy 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Thassilonian

M1 move and attack Malcolm
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Gar , Kast , Dorin (roll to stabilize) , Malcolm and Zees

Stabilization roll 1d20 ⇒ 11

Uh, guys? Dorin's, like, -12 hp or something. A single hit point for stabilization would probably save the character from permanent death right now. Danaris? Spare the sorcerer a healing touch, if you would.

robin, if this is my stabilization roll what was that natural d20 I rolled with the natural d10 earlier? Just curious.

Round 2, Init. 12 (after Kast)

"Keep him pinned between us!"

[ooc]Gar delayed till Kast had moved last round, so he goes just after Kast now. But I will put up this rounds actions, assuming the Kast shifts to keep up a possible flank. Gar will shift too.

Gar deftly adjusts to keep this creature at a disadvantage and then swings his adze. He seeks an advantage, clearly seeing the creatue is upset with Kast.

Flanking Adze Attack -> 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 2 = 24
Adze Damage -> 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Sneak Attack Damage -> 1d6 ⇒ 6

"That should get your attention!" Booya!

Kast, having fought with Gar before, knows to work with partymate to take down the creature quickly.

Move: 5' step to R6, when wait for Gar to distract his foe from behind.

Standard Action: Beat face with the Morningstar.

1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14 to hit;
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 damage.

"That should get your attention!" Booya!

Zees starts breathing again, not realizing he had been holding his breath since Dorin went down. Maybe we won't all die down here.

I can give Dorin one temporary hp with Virtue. Otherwise, I'm out of spells. I can channel still, but that's generally a poor idea with still breathing opponents.

Solutions that may keep him alive may include, but are not limited to:

I think we have a few rounds to work something out, but I could be wrong. By my estimation, Dorin is about -8 to -10 with a -12 clock. Unless I'm wrong Dorin, I'm not worried yet. :(

EDIT: You have selective channel? That'll work too. :)

Or you could use your selective channel feat to exclude the 2 monsters. :-)

Ah, yes selective channel. Forgot that. Dorin, you can feel free to throw your dice or chips angrily at me next time you see me.

Round 1

Malcolm attacks M1

BS ATT: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
BS DAM: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Round 3 Init 20

Zees will go along the walkway (to 6, AA) to get a clear shot at M1 with his dagger. He will again fling it down with hand of the apprentice.

-4 into melee
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Argh

Round 3 initiative
Zees 20
M2 15 ( hp taken 22)
Danaris 15
M1 = 13 (hp taken 2 )
Kast 12
Gar 12
Dorin 10
Malcolm 3

M2 is near death but that does not stop him from trying to take Kast with him
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Danaris's turn to act
Gar please not that you can not take a five foot step to S5 due to the cells bar

Danaris moves to L7 to assist Dorin and then channels positive energy, excluding the bad guys.

1d6 ⇒ 6

M& vs Malcolm
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 111d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Map

Lying facedown in a pool of his own blood as well as the dust of centuries, Dorin appears to stop bleeding out (-12+6=-6 hp?). His form, however, apart from the slight movement of breathing, does not stir.

(Next time, I'm asking for an AOO with my 1d4 spiked gauntlets. Tick tock on the Dancing Lights!)

I am going to wait on Kast. A lot of what Gar does this round depends on what he does with Monster2

Good communication, thanks. M1 goes next, then Kast and Gar then.

On his turn, Kast will attempt to imitate Gar and dance and spring from R6 to Q4.

Acrobatics to tumble: 1d20 - 6 ⇒ (2) - 6 = -4

Yeah, I get an AoO.

When in Q4, Kast will ready to strike when Gar gets into flank.

Swinging with the Morningstar:
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7 to hit;
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 damage.

Yep, double 1s on the rolls. Definitely worth the AoO. :( But maybe Gar will pick me up!

AoO vs Kast
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

seems they should stay with attacking soft defenceless flesh (like Dorin)

Round 3, Init. 12

Of all the things Gar expected Kast to do, flopping on his belly at the feet of the creature was not it. But the antics provide a distraction and Gar takes advantage. He steps up and swings. 5' adjust to S6 for flank.

Flanking Adze Attack -> 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22
Adze Damage -> 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Sneak Attack Damage -> 1d6 ⇒ 2

Dropping the creature, he looks to Kast with a wide smile that is all teeth, "You have a hard enough time staying on your feet, leave the tumbling to me. Let's go, one more to take down!"

Though a gritty smile, Kast replies "I gave you the distraction you wanted, right? Isn't the important thing?"

Kast looks toward his next opponent (if this one is indeed down).

It was labelled as near death..here's hoping 12 damage drops it or we are all in trouble. :-)

you are all in trouble anyway but yes it is dropped

Dorin and Malc next, I think.

Round 4, Init 20

I doubt Dorin or Malcolm's actions will change mine.

Zees will step back 5' if necessary and again fling his dagger forth using the hand of apprentice at the remaining monster. I really need to get something better to use for this.

-4 into melee
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Round 3, Initiative 3

Malcolm again attacks M1!

BS: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
BS DAM: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Round 4 initiative
Zees 20
M2 15 ( hp taken 33)
Danaris 15
M1 = 13 (hp taken 14 )
Kast 12
Gar 12
Dorin 10
Malcolm 3

M2 is down so it is Danaris turn to act

Also it is french national day and I'm off for an extended week end . see you on sunday

Worried that Dorin's light will go out before the party can get him back on his feet, Danaris pulls out an arrow and ask for Erastil's aid in lighting the darkness. Danaris casts light on the arrow.

Have a good weekend robin

Kast will limp from Q4 to N5, risking an AoO from M1 in an effort to take this opponent down quickly.

When there, he will wait for Gar to get into position (flank) before striking.

Swinging with the M'star:
1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 2 = 25 to hit;
1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 damage.

Dorin enjoys a good mid-morning nap, oblivious to all else going on. You guys remember Dorin, right? Young guy, casts spells, got slugged hard by a monster on the first round? I guess he's out for the weekend.

Sorry Kast , it was not your turn yet

Malcolm has a AoO as the remaining creature tries to flee up the stairs

AoO of Fleeing Creature

Get back here!

BS ATT: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
BS DAM: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

So, is Kast up? Where did M1 get to? Can any of us reach him before he goes again and really flees beyond our ability or willingness to catch him?

he is actually in P14

In order
Kast 12
Gar 12
Dorin 10
Malcolm 3
Zees 20(next round)
Danaris (next round)

Kast double moves after him.

I think I can limp to about Q9 or so.

Round 5, Init 20

The creature runs past Zees, who is tempted to let it go after they way it took down Dorin, but he worries about the reinforcements it might bring. Zees moves to P9 and again flings his dagger using Hand of the Apprentice.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0=1

Gar will double move to P10 unless the stairs count extra. Trying to keep him in view. "The bastard in getting away! Damn coward...damn fast coward. <pant>" He will switch the adze to his left hand while moving and pull a hand-axe from his belt.

Dorin dreamed of the quiet days in the Varisian caravan, of traveling from town to town, having celebrations when they met with another caravan on the dirt road, of the simple life. Being trained in magic by the caravan's master. Those days seemed like they would last forever.

Round 4, Initiative 3

Malcolm moves to Dorin's side and uses what little skills he has to aid his wounds.

Hang in there young fella! May Abadar bless your soul.

Heal (First Aid): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Danaris tries to assist Malcolm.

Heal (aiding Malcolm): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

"I can ask Erastil to aid Dorin again, but I feel that I already taxing my abilities. I believe that Kast might be able to help Dorin," Danaris says to Malcolm.

I'm at three channels for the day.

Some of you run after the creature who cintinue fleeing south ? Gar see it taking the corridor in Q17 while for the others the lack of light begins to be a problem
Nonetheless Kast hear it shouting while moving

There are some problem to update the map . I'll do it later

Kast will relate what the monster was saying as he moves.

"I think we should expect company, let's get to where we last saw it and prepare."

When he gets to Dorin, he imagine a perfect, healthy Dorin in his mind. He overlays that image while touching Dorin, superimposing the images.

Cast Cure Light Wounds on Dorin. 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 healing.

EDIT: And again:
Cast Cure Light Wounds on Dorin. 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 healing.

I think that gets Dorin to a +2, but I'll wait for robin to confirm.

Not wanting to get cut off, Gar is going to go to P18 and lay in wait for anything entering the intersection while waiting for the other to get clear of the jail.

Stealth -> 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

"Perhaps it's time for us to go." Zees will try to hide at M-18. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 They'll go for me and Gar will get them.

Once Dorin is up...

Good work Kast! Let's catch up with Gar and Zees and position ourselves accordingly.

Malcolm makes his way to Gar, and takes up a position next to him in preparation for what will come.

Kast will limp to O17, also readying himself for whatever comes down the tunnel, but also bracing to go down it as well.

Yes Dorin is now at + 2. you have time to position yourselves as you want to if you stay . But are you sure you want to ?
