This is the gameplay thread.
Standing before you on the other side of a featureless battle field are 5 nasty looking creatures with sharp claws, and equally sharp teeth. You also see that it has a tail and it appears to be about 10 feet in height.
Roll initiative.
You may also roll knowledge check if you wish. This creature requires a knowledge(planes) check.
Darrt strides confidently forward onto the field, a furred, multi-limbed creature standing next to him.
Initiative:
Shakros, too, strides confidently afield.
Huuurk takes a step forward so he is standing 10' to the side of Darrt, and draws his blade from its back-strap, slamming the point into the ground beside him.
Mlungisi opens his eyes, "Blast it, I still can't see a thing." Listening closely just a moment he continues, "What is it, a pack of ravenous giant rats?". He takes a step forward, metamagic rod in one hand, shield in the other.
Activate the ring of spell storing to cast Lead Blades (CL 1)
Targets touch
Duration 1 minute/level (D)
Lead blades increases the momentum and density of your melee weapons just as they strike a foe. All melee weapons you are carrying when the spell is cast deal damage as if one size category larger than they actually are. For instance, a Medium longsword normally deals 1d8 points of damage, but it would instead deal 2d6 points of damage if benefiting from lead blades (see table below). Only you can benefit from this spell. If anyone else uses one of your weapons to make an attack it deals damage as normal for its size.
Walk up next to Darrt, drawing weapon as i go.
Bad guys init:
Init order:
Monsters 24
Huuurk 18

I will be posting their actions soon.
I probably forget to say this before, but I probably have us acting in initiative order.
Standard actions:
All of the monsters seem to be focusing on something.
Monster 1:
Monster 2:
Monster 3:
Monster 4:
Monster 5:
Monsters 1 and 3 have another one of their kind manifest. Their success is evident due to their evil grin. The other 3 appear to look disappointed.
On later rounds I will have them act independently. They are all taking take same action this round so I did it like this to save space.
Mlungisi:
You recognize the monsters as Bone Devils.
You recall that they are resistant to magic, their tails are poisonous, and that they are immune to fire and poison.

If these guys are using the Summon (Sp) ability, then those monsters aren't there yet, as they are as Summon Monster (X) which has a 1 round casting time. The extras should appear next round.
Darrt blinks rapidly as he waits for his eyes to adjust to the sunlight. The large creature beside him moves forward slightly, crouching in a defensive position in front of its master.
Darrt: delay to Initiative 5.
Eidolon: Step forward and ready an action to attack anything that comes in reach (Will then delay to Init 5 next round to keep things simple).

Upon seeing the two bone devils appear out of nowhere Mlungisi mutters, "I would have preferred the rats." Then a bit louder, "Our magic may be of limited use against these fiends. And watch out for their poisonous sting, I'd hate to see you spluttering and gasping from it's effects if I am unable to reach you to cleanse it." He begins chanting and shafts of light descend upon him and his allies as they gain the favor of the gods.

With Mlungisi's blessing filling him with power, the dark elf begins to chant swiftly in his native tongue. After a moment a cloud of black energy crackles around Caarl, causing the man to grow to nearly twice his previous height.
"Let's see how badly those devils want to play this game, shall we?"
Darrt: Cast extended Enlarge Person on Caarl, draw crossbow.

Darrt: delay to Initiative 5.
Eidolon: Step forward and ready an action to attack anything that comes in reach (Will then delay to Init 5 next round to keep things simple).** spoiler omitted **
I must have typed the list up wrong. The higher init modifier is supposed to go first in my games. Sorry about that.
The summons should not be there yet. We will say they are not there yet.
Baddie #2 goes down, and your last attack hits baddie #3, Huuurk
Mlungisi you can just put your name into the new squares.
You can't spellcraft SLA's. They don't have any verbal or somatic components.
As Huuurk is rushing in the two devils did get a an attack in due to them having reach.
Attack 1:
Damage 1:
Attack 2:
Damage 2:
Both attacks his hits.
Make 2 fort saves vs DC 20.
If the first one fails then the 2 saving throw will be 22
first stinger Str damage:
second stinger Str damage:
Damage reduced to 5 and 7, unless they do elemental or some other type of damage, please let me know if they do.
Baddie #3 needs a Concentration check now for the summon, since he's still 'casting'. DC is either 10 or 15 + damage dealt.
You can't spellcraft SLA's. They don't have any verbal or somatic components.
New round: Spell combat: Bladed dash. Move to G8, provoking 0 AoOs. Activate Black Blade strike, adding 4 to damage. 3/4 Black Blade AP points remaining.
Boleridin's eyes roll into the back of his head, and he declares in an unnaturally deep and guttural, alien voice, "તમે હવે ખાણ છે. તમારા ભૂતપૂર્વ મુખ્ય, પટાવાળો હુમલો કરે છે."
gotta love 15-20 crit ranges!
Baddie 3 is not making that concentration check. -46 HP
Huurk they are only doing regular damage.
--------------------------------------------------------
Sharkos, Bladed Dash is a standard action. The spell allows you to move and attack as many opponents as you can pass by. It does not allow for a full round attack since your standard action has already been used in casting the spell.
Blessing of Fervor requires a full round attack to get the extra attack.
Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
The summoned monster is not really there yet so you get to go again. You can keep your first rolls since you rolled well.
-----------------------------------------------------------Boleridin Swaggle the monster won't be there until round 2. That was an error on my part I will remove him to avoid further confusion.
Mlungisi, the bad guys used a full round action to try to summon help. Their action for round 1 is over.
At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.
Everyone put the round you are acting in at the top of your post. As an example. I did set a bad example when I forgot to do it, but I will start it when the monsters begin round 2. You don't have to bold it though.
Round 2:Attack PC1:
etc
Good Catch Darrt.
Shakros you might want to still redo your actions. You can still keep your rolls though.
The next post will start round 2.
Round 2 is on hold.
Boleridin I think your round one action was to attempt to control a summon, but they were not there yet due to an error I made. You can redo your round one action.
Why we are wait I need Darrt to verify that is where he was trying to to delay 2.
Round 2 initiative:
Monsters 24
Boleridin Swaggle 24
Huuurk 18
Caarl 13
Shakros 10
Darrt 10--delayed last round.

Round 2 is on hold.

Everyone except Boleridin ended up delaying till after my spell went off.
So the new init order is nowMonsters 24
Boleridin 24
Mlungisi 5
Everyone else 4.
So round 1 bone devils all use SLA summon.
Boleridin needs to update round 1 actions - which we are waiting on.
Mlungisi casts blessing of fervor.
Huuurk charges and kills one, and wounds another.
Caarl 5ft step and total defense.
Shakros casts extended shield.
Darrt casts extended enlarge person Caarl.
Boleridin did his correct round 1 actions, he just also posted round 2 actions. He activated some ability, giving him +8 AC and +6 stealth, and made a stealth check for Go Unnoticed.

So close to making that save. It looks like Boleridin has a new pet.
The rest of you can take your actions now.

I see what I did wrong. It is 88 after DR.
Chanting again, Darrt touches his large outsider friend, his spell thickening and toughening its skin. He then moves forward to protect Mlungisi.
Darrt's Action: Cast extended Barksin on eidolon. Move to D16.
With a roar the wolf-like creature rushes forward, closing the gap between it and one of the few remaining monsters.
