Team Dwarf/Gnome in Elves vs Dwarves -- ELVES KEEP OUT (Inactive)

Game Master Chainmail

After pulling out the scroll during the move action, Kib can read it too.

Thograt's disembodied hammer smashes the mounted rider, Hon continues to hide, and Khazad moves up and readies an attack. Ninni charges and stuns the sentry with a thunderous fist, he is stunned again.

The mounted sentries form a picket line and cautiously advance out into the snow. The horses seem to be guiding them in a rough line to engage.

"It is unnaturally dark here." one of them exclaims as he enters the darkness.

Rapid fire! and point blank shot

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 - 2 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 ... really.

"Vennag mauri! Ohr add jor taungit fur leib!"

Brask holds his ground as he shouts in a friendly voice. Though they can't see it, he gives them a wicked grin that would make a wolf run in terror. To punctuate his point, he fires two shots at the mounted sentry in front of him.

"What?? Are you Blind??" roars the furious Gnome, in dwarvish, in a surprisingly loud voice "You dare to call us human huggers while you bed down with the foul humans!! Well, if it is blind you wish to be, then blind you shall be!"

As he finishes reading the scroll, casting the curse of blindness upon the Dwarf standing over Kragg
Fort DC15

The dwarf resists the spell and states,

"We hired these humans to counter your humans."

Kib goes for round 4.

Will be gone for Easter so I am posting round 4 now so you don't wait for me.

Hoping the fire is out and the human can't see him that well. Realizing that the only way out of thisis to have a weapon in hand, Kragg will stand provoking an AOO for the dwarf. As the dwarf swings at him, Kragg will reach out and attempt to disarm the dwarf.

disarm attempt 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 - 4 = 22 The -4 for being unarmed but if successful then Kragg hold the greataxe.

Oh, bu the way, have any of us recognized these dwarves or their accent or anything? Or is that something we would have to roll for?

1d20 ⇒ 18

You are almost certain these dwarves are from Dwarfhold. Obviously they are acting against you.

A natural 20 well placed, Kragg!
Khazad leaps out of the darkness upon the sentry which got Brask's arrow, aiming for an unprotected spot under his ribs.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15+1d6 ⇒ 4acid

Morale check 1d20 ⇒ 20

Khazad finished off another sentry, but the humans so no sign of breaking.

Roguish thoughts:Steady... Quiet as snow. Close enough to ruin his day. The other mounted humans might prove troublesome, although everyone is in range. Focus! One human at a time. Wait until he is almost on top of you. One battle at a time.

Hon remains motionless, except for shifting eyes and racing thoughts, awaiting the approaching horseman. Slow exhalations through his nose, he watches for a twitch of the horse's ears, the expansion of the nostrils and the intensifying scrutiny of the rider to clue him in that the time grows short and he must strike now.

does (Ham) stand for thograts hammer?

Ham was the spiritual hammer.

The mounted troops retreat from the southern group after suffering losses and finding their light sources are extinguished as soon as they get within 20 feet of Thograt.

Kib casts his grease around Kragg.

Magnum is attacked by three riders with lances and one hits him. Kib is glad he hid behind Magnum to cast his spell.

The dwarf that Kragg took the axe from yells, "Stop this fighting you skulkers."

"Jumpy, you are getting my command slaughtered stalking these dwarves. I am not happy." One of the humans calls to one of the dwarves.

Rapid Shot on the guy in M39
Attack 1: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 13
Attack 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 19
Damage 2: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Brask looses two more arrows at the bandit trying to get away.

Brask hits one of the retreating horseman and he goes down. The human riders are in an orderly withdrawal.

Wait. What?

The riders that rushed into Thograt's darkness retreated. The fight on Kib's side of the camp is not going as bad for the riders. They are still advancing. Kib is ready to go again.

Kibibblepep casts Grease again, this time right under the feet of the horses advancing against Magnum
Ref DC14

While doing so he attempts to remain hidden in the dark and with Magnum for cover Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Horses stay up and Magnum steps back and unloads with two axes in two volleys at a rider. One axe in each volley hits and he falls from the saddle critically injured.

Thograt rushes forward to Ninni.

Is the terrain still dificult? Double move S51->U48

It is still difficult terrain. I moved Thograt back some as I forgot.

The lone sentry elects to circle the grease spell and engage, so cannot attack.

Ninni lashes out with a barrage of fists putting the sentry on the south side of camp down.

Kragg finds one unarmored and one armored sentry standing over him with an angry and unarmed dwarf in nightclothes decorated with bear mugs and a red face next to him :-)

attempt to stand due to grease acrobatics 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (1) - 3 = -2
reflex save due to failed acrobatics by 5 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Standing in grease provoking AOO from the 2 sentries.

*edit* I just looked at the map since it was updated. I could not pull it up earlier where I was. Originally it had Kragg in grease thus the rolls above. Either way I am sure it is a miss and Kragg is standing.

Kragg stands and gets attacked by the dismounted sentries.

The dwarf decides to try and duplicate Kragg's maneuver, but is unsuccessful in rising to his feet. Kragg get's a shot as he rises at +4 as an AoO (or when he tries to rip the axe out of his hands).

The dwarf remains on his knees, but has his hands firmly on the axe. He is unable to rip it from Kragg's grip, but they both are struggling for possession of the axe.

One more unarmored sentry arrives next to Kragg. The dwarves move to aid their companion. The mounted sentries continue to withdraw from Thograt's darkness.

Move to Q54
Attack Sentry at Q36
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Brask's 20 words: "MOVE IT! DOUBLE TIME! GET TA KIBBLE'S GROUP NOW!"

Brask trudges through the snow as he knocks another arrow. His slow and steady gait brings another target into view. The fire illuminates the sentry and provides a good target. He knows they're retreating, or at least appear that way. He just decides to give them a little more incentive to not fake it. He let's fly another arrow and grins as it strikes true.

"Heh heh. That'll keep 'em 'onest."

Round 6
Hon, crossbow sweeping the encampment as he moves stealthily forward, looks for a target amoing the tents and horses.
Fast Stealth(20')1d20 + 6 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 5 = 30 Hon has been moved on map.
Thinking to himself:Sure would be a shame to let an opportunity to raid the tents and horses go to waste.

edit: Now why can't I roll like this during a crit moment?

Because we're the Battered Dwarven Bastards! We don't just kill ya, we grind ya to dust!

Kragg will be expecting this manuever and will take the AOO when the dwarf tries to rip it out of his hands.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 25
damage: 1d12 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20 to be added to CMD as well

That should leave a mark on the the dwarf. Now where are those human sentries that need to feel a piece of this.

Kragg's blow knocks the dwarf back to his knees as the stricken dwarf's fleeting grip slips from his former axe. The approaching dwarves are somewhat astonished. You don't see hits like that every day.

Am I up yet?

All yours Brask I think.

Brask to go.

Move to S53
Attack W30: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 14 (+banner+Favored Enemy-Range Penalty)
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Brask moves back towards the group to begin aiding Kragg and the others. He lets fly another arrow into one of the humans surrounding Kragg.

"I need ta git me a better bow."

Trying to take advantage of the humans night blindness, Kibibblepep uses a simple spell to cloud the mind of one of magnum's atackers.

Casts: Daze. Will DC15 or dazed for one round. PS, wow, 2nd level sorcerers still suck A$$! lol

Khazad continues to plow through the snowy field, huffing and puffing, catching up with Ninni. Double Move U48->V44
"Come on, Dwarvenshield, let's drive those bastards back before Kragg overtakes me on kill count."

Magnum unleases a flurry of hatchets and axes.

The prone dwarf seems to be the leader of the group. He is the focus of current resistance. He is prone due to a lvl 2 sorceror and using a lvl 1 spell.

I shouldn't have made this difficult terrain, it slows everyone down considerably. Gives lots of AoOs. Well, it is the 'reality' of the fantasy world.

Focusing his ire on the dwarf in front of him, hoping it is Jumpy, Kragg attacks again.

attack 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 22
damage 1d12 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20

Do you yield yet?

Kragg scores another monster blow on the dwarf, and he goes down and stays down.

There is an eery quiet as the stocky dwarf tumbles.

Don't know what the status of the humans is, but if they decide to retreat and we are out of init, Kragg will attempt to stabalize the downed dwarf. heal check1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 if confirmed dead then that is fine, if alive but unstable, Kragg will use a potion of cure light to save the dwarf.

If the humans or other dwarves press the attack then good byt dwarf, but it hurts Kragg to have had to cut down one of his own.

The riders congregate north of the tents throwing assorted torches and sunrods around them to see. The dismounted humans are waiting so see what happens. Assume the humans are delaying a std action.

The two dwarves rush forward with waraxes to aid their injured companion. One ventures onto the grease of Kib and falls prone.

Brask moves to U52 and lets fly another arrow at the human in W30. The arrow flies off into the dark well away from his target.

"Damn."

He sees enough of what's happening on the other side of the tents to know what's going on. His mind turns over half-a-dozen different tactics before settling on the simplest one.

Brask's 20 Words: "KRAGG, MAGNUM, KIBBLE, THOGRAT, GROUP UP AND GO DEFENSIVE. HON! GET YER ASS UP HERE NOW!"

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 - 2 = 8

The hostilities resume quickly and furiously. Kragg is beset by the sentries around him. A volley of javelins heads toward Kib, Magnum steps in front to take the brunt of the attack.

The two sentries flanking Kragg hit with cavalry sabers, Magnum is hit with one out of a volley of eight javelins.

Kragg is hit for 9 and Magnum dodges 7 out of 8 javelins and is hit for 2

A command voice comes from the human riders, "Jumpy is down, but the fight continues. Hit em hard."

Another voice anwers, "They must have come for us too."

Round 7
Hon skedaddles 20' over to P53 (closer to Brask) and aims for the mounted humans highlighted by the sunrod and fire on the other side of camp. To himself only, "Ah Yes! Three, no four targets all outlined nicely. Choices. Thats right keep throwing those torches..."

I am assuming that the 20' movement through this terrain is my action and I am unable to fire. Standing by for round 8.

Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Round 7, Init 14
AC 19, HP 14
Buffs: Mage Armor
Special: none
Spells: Lv1: 2/5

Kibibble's jaw literally drops as he witness the human, Magnum, step protectively in front of him and then, almost miraculously, dodge almost every single Javelin thrown their way. 'I may just have to rethink my opinion of this particular human after all' thinks the Gnome as a warm feeling of affection and appreciation suddenly flows though him.

His distraction does not last for long though as he sees the trouble Kragg is in. Pulling a wand out of his belt pouch the small sorcerer aims and then fires a blazing blast at the injured, unarmored human attacking Kragg.
Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 4) = 19
Was it just one ray this wand had? As there was only one charge left when Neji gave it to Kib, right?

I may be incommunicado the next few days so in the interest of facilitating peppering the snow around the cavalry I had pre-posted my actions within the spoiler. On a lighter note Postmonster tried to eat this, but thanks to Ctl-a and CTL-V, I made my wisdom save.
