Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Sakuro was not very good in melee and had no intention of expending all of her ammo here. With a shrug, she darted into the best hiding spot within range and crouched down, trying to remain hidden and out of the way.
Total Defense. Don't think there's anything better to do. XD

Antonio steps up to the warrior and thrusts a good two and a half feet of steel out his back, leaving the warrior collapsing in a pool of his own blood. Unfortunately, as large as he is at this point, he rather has to squeeze to simply stay on the walkway! He's hard to get around.
The flow of cultists come to a momentary halt, sizing up Antonio, and letting the other warrior move up -
Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
...who promptly faceplants in the grease.
Apparently, they aren't good dancers. :P
Nia does make it up over the rail, but there really aren't any good targets for her whip, at the moment. All of the cultists in the immediate area are dead or dying, and a couple have backed away from Antonio.
Anybody that takes a count will find that there are only five cultists, one warrior, and the two casters left.
Lightning: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) = 16
Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Make that one caster.

Antonio Nedraid |

"Next!" Called Antonio giddily to his next opponent as he stepped forward.
He Improved Feinted as a move action. Bluff vs enemy sense motive/CMD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Success allows him to make his next attack vs enemy Flat Footed AC (and add sneak attack damage).
He attacked with his standard action.
Large Rapier attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 for a possible 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10 piercing damage. If feint is successful, add 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 precision damage.

Nala the Wanderer |

The cloud will disappate now.

Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Sakuro continued to hunker down and try to stay out of the way of things. One day she'd have a nigh-endless amount of magic to call upon, but today was not that day.
Continuing her total defense.

![]() |

Antonio falls forward -
Ref: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
...slamming into the warrior.
Damage to warrior: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Ugh! Hey! What the???
The voice is from under Antonio's large body, rather muffled, but accompanied by groans of pain.
Incidentally, though the feint failed, the warrior was down, and temporarily denied Dex. He's pretty seriously hurt.
The cultists look stunned. They were pretty sure they had the advantage.
Kill them, you fools! The other adept talks big, but takes a step back.

Nala the Wanderer |

Nala moves into a defensive stance, like Sakuro. Trapped as she is behind the considerable bulk of her companion and the grease, she doesn't have any options short of diving into the water.

Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Sakuro... continued to defend, as it happened. There was nothing else she really could do at this moment, not if she wanted to save any magic at all for later.
Basically, defending until further notice. XD

Antonio Nedraid |

Antonio lashed out at the creeping cultist.
rapier AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 for a possible 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 piercing damage.
During his regular turn, he gingerly steps forward, trying to stay upright.
Ref Save vs Grease: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
If still upright:
He will again Improved Feint as a move action.
Bluff vs enemy sense motive/CMD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 Success allows him to make his next attack vs enemy Flat Footed AC (and add sneak attack damage).
He attacked with his standard action.
Large Rapier attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 for a possible 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13 piercing damage. If feint is successful, add 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7 precision damage.
If he fell prone:
He will get real sick of the grease and crawl out of the area.

Reiko Arashi |

Reiko turns back to the fray, the magical fear finally having worn off, only to see the massive shape of Antonio in the way. An exasperated look crosses his face for a moment, before he starts stalking back toward the enemies, his left hand beginning the shapes of a spell.
Readying an action to attack the first one to get around Antonio with a shocking grasp spell.
You have picked the wrong place to practice your dark magics, men. I will use that same dark power to destroy you.
As he speaks, his eyes begin to take on the crimson hue they do when he is exposed to Titan magic, usually right before he loses control and slaughters everything.

![]() |

The cultist up front sees Antonio crawling toward him, and gathers his nerve to slash at the imposing figure -
Slash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 for maybe: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Wow. He truly is terrified.
The adept targets Antonio as he starts to rise, nervously calling out arcane words - Down!
Will save, please.

![]() |


Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
"There's still something in the water!" Sakuro called out from where she was bunkering down. It would... probably be best to avoid going for a swim here, no matter how confident you were in your abilities.

Antonio Nedraid |

Once beyond the Grease area, Antonio leapt to his feet again.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
"Now, where were we?" He asked grinning at the next cultist.
He slashed his rapier through the air, then lunged at the cultist.
Large Rapier attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 for a possible 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 piercing damage.

Nala the Wanderer |

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
K(Nature): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Nala watches the creature slip through the waves, and tries to determine what she can recall about it.

Springing to his feet, Antonio skewers another of the fewer and fewer cultists - and they look even less prone to fight, at this point. Blood spatters paint a fair bit of the walkway in this area, which has become littered with bodies, making a place that was eerie in the beginning positively ghoulish.

Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
"One day I'm gonna have enough magic to toss 'em all around..." Sakuro muttered under her breath as she continued to defend. As always, though, people could ask her for a specific spell she had available if they really wanted/needed it. She'd come out of hiding for that.

Antonio Nedraid |

"Ow!" Antonio shouted as he got nicked.
He counterattacked the thinning ranks of the enemy.
He slashed his rapier through the air, then lunged at the cultist.
Large Rapier attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 for a possible 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 piercing damage.

![]() |

Reiko slides past Antonio, and closes on the caster:
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 for a possible: 1d8 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (6, 4, 1) = 18 electrical.
As the caster collapses, all the fight goes out of the remaining cultists, and they panic, running for a boat.
One dog is still barking from the corner.

Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
"Oy!" Sakuro said, pointing to the cultists. Her meaning, she hoped, was clear - if the group wanted to stop them from leaving, now would be a good time, just to make sure they didn't come back later and cause more trouble Otherwise... er, they were probably fine, actually, since the enemy's morale had broken. She was still staying down until things were truly settled, though.
(Hooray for squishiness.)

Nala the Wanderer |

Nala stands and waits for space to be available for moving, still. She sighs. Giant people in small spaces were annoying.

Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Sakuro waited patiently, having exactly no intention of running forward and past everyone else. Best to leave that to the more, uh, physically capable individuals, yeah?

Nia'Nikta |

Didn't realize another round had started and been traveling. Sorry Eldon!
Nia'Nikta would draw another arrow as she focused on the boat.
Atk: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5
"Antonio, Move towards them and the boat. Don't let them get away. Can anyone direct the thing in the water to attack them?"

Nala the Wanderer |

"Not without teaching it to attack people or boats." Nala, replies, dourly.

Nala the Wanderer |

"Nor am I. Things do not like me. I have worked towards being able to work with animals, but the net result has been mostly moot." DC is 25 to 'push' an animal to do something they don't know how to do. Bast I can get is 23.
Push: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Reiko Arashi |

I'm still keeping up with the game, I just don't ever have time for posting and all that. Feel free to bot Reiko to jump across the boats and into the cultist's boat.

Sakuro, Obsessed Arcanist |
Sakuro continued to cautiously guard, having exactly no inclination to go out where people could jab her with pointy objects. There... just wasn't anything else to do.

![]() |

When we last left our heroes, there were a couple of the cultists fleeing in a boat, Antonio half submerged in water with a very large, vicious looking fish, Reiko on the walkway, and the ladies still in the riverboat with the little crew. The dogs are not putting up a fight, and are mostly hidden, and the only way to engage the escaping cultists will involve range.
I'll be waiting for responses in the discussion thread before continuing.

Antonio Nedraid |

Still Enlarged
Antonio looked back at Nia from where he was reaching for the boat with his tremendous reach and sword length; he grinned down from his twelve foot height.
"Didn't mean to worry you Nia! Just trying to grab the boat..."
If the boat is out of reach or the fishies start nibbling, he will exit the water at speed.
