Comp Longbow, mw mighty +2: tiger aspect
to hit: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8 to hurt: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 = 8

Round 2
Justinian continues to move up. "Stay together." he says, loud enough for everyone to hear, especially Sunset. "If we get separated, they'll swarm us." He thinks for a moment about that.

"Pun definitely intended." He says grimly.

I'm a little confused on the Rounds. Should I be posting for Round 3 as well? I'd like to keep with Seraph, but she is moving a round ahead? Also, for everyone, I'm going to try and keep the spells and channels back until the s&^t really hits the fan, so don't get crazy.

i will wait until everyone has posted then before posting my actions to keep it simpler. I was assuming that the DM was already so we didnt have to slow down the roubds. Apologies for any confusion.

Asta runs until she arrives next to Seraph, aims her crossbow at the yellow ant, and squeezes off a bolt.

Moving to one square south of Seraph. Ranged attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 for 1d8 ⇒ 4 damage. DAMMIT

Round 3
Current statuses Divine Favor 7 rounds remaining and Shield of Faith 4 mins
Charge attack -2 AC. AC 21 for round

Charge Attack Yellow ant, draw and attack with (L) Bastard Sword +1 -PA +DF: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 29
Damage +PA +DF: 2d8 + 4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 + 4 + 2 = 18

Confirm Critical: 1d20 + 2 + 7 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 7 + 2 - 2 = 12

Asta's attack is swiftly followed by Seraph's charge. Charging the yellow ant and drawing her massive blade, she brings the weapon down at full strength in an attempt to kill the ant assailing Strawberry. Though the blow was well placed, the power she thru behind it made it waver as the cutting edge came down towards the ants large abdomen...

Divine favor 6 rounds left, whoopsie!

Sunset catches sight of a mite 30 feet in the dark mine as it turns and takes a left branch .

Strawberry bites and claws at the orange ant. Only the last claw hits.

Torod fires and misses as he move forward.

Justinian keeps up with the others as he calls for the group to stay together .

Asta catches up with Seraph, fires her crossbow missing the ant.

The remaining two ants bite and sting at Strawberry again, but all attacks miss again.

Opting for damamge over subtlety, Sunset pulls one of her vharges from her vest and throws.

Att Roll:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Dam:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6(Area of effect)

Which impacts then ignites with a soft 'Whoomph' in the area the mite is fleeing through.

(¬_¬)

Yup, that dice roller is givin' us all sorts a good times.

It's just trying to make the moment more intense~ ;) Nice try though!

Asta reliads her crossbow and jogs up to stand behind Seraph.

Next feat has got to be Rapid reload. =_=

Bah! I'll be takin' "Weapon focus:Dice roller" first. :P

Wheel of Time d20 had "Dark One's Own Luck". It allowed you to reroll one roll, even after the fact .... and you could take it several times. Hmmm.

Oh aye! Given' them bad guys a dose a 'Pugwhumpy's grace' would sure enough be right pleasant. >:)

Barkskin on himself and Strawberry: +2 AC; 40 min
Magic Fang on Strawberry: +1 to hit and dmg; 4 min
Gravity Bow: bow does 2d6 dmg; 4 min

Torod takes a shot at orange ant. If that takes it out, he'll advance inside the mine. If not, he'll move up to take Strawberry's place.
Comp Longbow, mw mighty +2: tiger aspect, precise shot
to hit: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27 to hurt: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

Torod growls and purrs at Strawberry to try to get her to go help Sunset. The group must keep its momentum for as long as it can.
Handle Animal: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 4 = 24

Confirm Crit Comp Longbow mw mighty +2: tiger aspect, precise shot
to hit: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18 to hurt: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 6) + 4 = 25

Pretty sure that does it.

Strawberry responds to Torods order. She rushes off to find their next foe.
She attacks if she can.
Strawberry Bite: tiger aspect, magic fang
to hit: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 15 to hurt: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9 trip: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 22

Hoping the furry, ball of clawed death stops at/with Sunset and doens't go carrening off into the darkness.

Sunset looks to see if she's managed to char-crisp the fleeing mite... or if anything else lurks around her current point in the tunnel.

Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14(Darkvision)

Lookin' fer traps an' lookin' for clues (^_~)

Oh aye! Given' them bad guys a dose a 'Pugwhumpy's grace' would sure enough be right pleasant. >:)

Something to consider, to be sure. Maybe a wand with that spell would be a worthy investment?

Sunset throws one of her special bombs after the fleeing mite. It briefly lights up an intersection thirty feet into the mine with an explosion.

Asta has follows Seraph with her crossbow ready.

Torod puts an arrow through the last ant killing it as he moves forward.

Strawberry moves forward to the mine entrance.

Combat over

Looking Sunset doesn’t find a crispy mite or other guards.

Sunset moves back and waits for the party to regroup.

"Looks like that lil' bugger scarpered. We're in fer lots'a fun an' adventure now..."

"Pity," Asta says as she cocks her crossbow. "Let's move. Punch through before they have time to organize their defences."

When the last enemy falls, Seraph stabs her blade into the ground and stowed her bow. Seeing Sunset's bloodied clothes she steps up behind her, cocking her head to inspect the injuries momentarily. "Stand still..." She placed her hand over the injury as she intoned. "Make right that which has been marred..." As the injuries started to heal she continued speaking. "... let no scars remain."

CLW on Sunset: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
CLW on Sunset: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

As the last of the grievous injury healed she looked Sunset over, seeing nothing else needing tending too she turns away. Stepping towards the mine entrance as Asta spoke. "As you command, i'll take point." With that she pulls her blade from the earth and heads towards the mines, the shimmering and swirling divine magic fading before she enters.

3/7 1st lvl spells remaining.

Sunset gives Seraph an acknowledging nod of thanks but keeps her weapons held at the ready. As Seraph moves forwards Sunset coughs, glancing to Astra,

"Here luv, a moment. Ye an' Justinian should shoulder up." She looks towards the other warrior. "Ye sword swingers, with yer shields an' all, should be better fightin' t'gether, hey?" She susggests.

"Jus' look out fer fallin' in't holes an' pits an' stuff tha' lil buggers might a' been diggin' while we've been sotrin' things out some." Sunset cautions.

"Agreed." Justinian says to Sunset. "However in light of your comment about traps, it would be better if someone who can detect such things leads. They can fall back behind us when things get hot."

Sunset gives a sly grin, "Knew me penchance fer tinkerin' would come in handy some day." She says as she advances past Seraph and Justinian. She begins to move forwards carefully, quickly testing the ground and sweeping across the tunnel floor with a booted foot as she leads.

Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22(Darkvision)

"Okay folks, showtime..." She says quielty...

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Seraph nods as Sunset glides past her, she gives the woman the space she needs before keep pace with her. Albeit several paces behinds her, lest she inadvertently set off a trap. She keeps her large blade at the ready, determined to strikr the moment the enemy revealed themselves.

However her vision let her see in the dark, so a surprise attack from the shadows was unlikely...

I don't have Darkvision, so...

Justinian takes a place next to Seraph, sword and shield at the ready. before they move out, he casts Light on his shield.

Torod and Strawberry are left to bring up the rear.
He takes the time to heal his feline friend.
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Asta lurks in the middle, senses straining for the first sign of danger.

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Seraph heals the rest of Sunset’s wounds.

Justinian counsels caution as the group moves into the mine.

Sunset takes point searching for traps as she leads the group deeper into the gold mine.

Seraph follows Sunset giving her room to work.

Justinian cast light on his shield as he keeps abreast with Seraph.

Asta is next with Torod and Strawberry taking up the rear.

Sunset carefully checks the ground in front of her as she moves deeper into the mine, taking a left 30 feet from the entrance the group moves deeper into the mine following the tunnels carved by the miners as they followed the gold vain. With only a handful of short dead end branches, there is only one way forward for the first 100 feet.

20 feet ahead of Seraph and Justinian, the floor suddenly gives way under Sunset exposing a 30 foot pit with a living carpet of some type at the bottom!

Sunset please make a DC 20 reflex to avoid falling in!

Ah nertz...

Ref Save:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

"... ! ..."

Sunset arms windmill about as she loses her balance from the sudden lose of the floor beneath her. She falls 30 feet into a swarm of ants.

Disturbed by the sudden impact into there nest the ants swarm over Sunset bitting and stinging her.

30 ft fall: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) = 12 damage
Ant swarm damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) = 4

These ant also cling to their victims as well as possibably being distractive.

Sunset make a DC 15 Will save vs being distracted

The 10ft by 10ft pit cuts off the mine tunnel. Leaving space for only two at the edge. It is 30ft deep and remains open since it has to be manually reset. Sunset is left prone at the bottom from the fall.

The walls look hard to climb (DC15)

Everyone can act

Sunset : 16 damage. Prone
Seraph
Justinian
Asta
Torod

Sunset simply pulls a flask form her vest and flips it stright up... then down.

Dam Roll:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Whoomph!"

Plus 1 fire damage :P

"Ach! That stings!"

Hoping that at least reduces the amount of 'Ant swarm' about.

Asta uncoils her rope and lowers it into the pit, holding onto her end and not allowing the other end to trail onto the floor.

"Sunset! Grab hold!"

Pretty sure I can grab the rope easily next round. It's surviving the ants. An' I in't even bin dipped in honey. :P

How wide is the tunnel? If it's 10' then Asta can't lower a rope unless she's still behind Seraph and Justinian. How big is the swarm? If it's the 10'x 10' of the pit floor, then Asta should cast an area spell or drop an alchemist fire. (And avoid Sunset.)

"Seraph! Grab that rope from Asta and pull! Someone drop a spell or a flask in there, and don't hit her! Justinian shouts as he brandishes his holy symbol. A cyan light bursts forth, it's healing power just reaching Sunset at the bottom.

Channel Energy (everyone gets it): 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

Justinian posted 40 secs ahead of me lmao, editing. kinda of.

Setting her blade down she moves to assist Asta, taking hold of the rope and waiting for when Sunset grabs hold to pull her up out of the pit. "Cover us." Expecting an ambush she asked the rest of their companions to provide cover.

Str Check to haul Sunset up if needed.: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

"Hey! No dropin' nothin' but rope! I'll do tha' fir-en' down here Baba-looey!" Sunset yells back up at Justinian.

And much thanks for the healin!

Passing the rope is a free action so Seraph and Justinian should be able to pull away smartly. :)

Yes, the tunnel is 10 foot wide. Swarm is 10x10. Yes you could target a square that Sunset is not in, splash would still hit her, but where the fun in that. Also I believe she has DR 10 vs fire anyway.

That's where I was going. Justinian doesn't have the cash to afford any of that, so it's up to someone else.

Is DR 5 fire. Lets not get too far ahead of our DR, hey? (^_~)

Sunset, Not what your character sheet says.

Sunset throws a bomb at ground zero, highly effective at burning lots of ants and singeing herself.

Asta gets out a rope and throws one end into the pit.

Justinian calls out orders and then channels the healing power of Iomedea for Sunset.

Seraph drops her blade and takes hold of the rope ready to pull.

Sunset calls back to hold on the raining fire on her.

(Assuming speed of pulling a person up a rope is about the same as accelerated climbing {half speed} with no check.)

Grabbing hold of the rope after throwing her bomb, Sunset holds tight as Seraph and Asta pull. Unfortunately these ants are clingy and the ones on Sunset continue to bite and sting as she is pulled halfway up the pit.

Torod and Strawberry keep guard, but don’t see any creatures attempting an ambush.

The ant swarm starts to climb the pit walls.

Situation: Seraph and Asta have hold of the rope pulling Sunset up. Sunset is 15 feet from the bottom and top of the pit. She is still covered in ants that are clinging to her.

The clinging ants can be removed by Sunset taking a full round action and making a DC17 reflex save. Also, by High winds or any amount of area effect damage.

Bold may act

Ant swarm: 9+6 = 15 damage
Sunset : 16+1-8=9+13= 22 damage, Clinging ants 3d6 / round, holding on to rope
Seraph
Justinian
Asta
Torod

I'm going to save my Vomit swarm for when we meet enemies, so....

Asta continues to haul on Sunset.
"Somebody throw some alchemist fire into the pit, and try to get Sunset in the splash zone," she snarls between her teeth.

"In my pack, more... vials." Seraph grunts as she pulls Sunset oit of the pit. She couldn't swap her attention else where at this point...

SA Str check to keep pulling on the rope.: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Aa she struggled with the rope her tail snakes into her backpack, rummages for a moment before retrieving said vial. Though it wavers with her motions of pulling on the rope.

Swift: Prehensile tail, retrieve stowed object.

If prehensile tail isn't allowed to do that then please disregard. It's DM call but if someone has experiance with it Not working this way. Then please speak up. :) thanks!

Tomaru pulls out one of his flasks of Alchemist Fire and tosses it at Sunset.

Alchemist Fire
To Hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 To Hurt: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Asta and Seraph haul on the rope pulling Sunset 15 more feet to the top lip of the pit.

Seraph’s tail pulls out a vial from her backpack.

Torod pulls out a flask of alchemist fire and hit Sunset squarely with it. A flash of fire burns all the ants that were clinging to the aasimar and severely burns the rope she is being hauled up by which what is left is now on fire and looking like it won’t last much longer. On the bright side Sunset is unharmed by the alchemist fire.

Crisply little ant bodies rain down the the pit from Sunset.

Situation: Seraph and Asta have hold of the rope pulling Sunset up. Sunset is at the top lip of a 30 feet pit. The rope she is holding on to is severely burnt and on fire burning (likely to give way any moment).

Bold may act

Ant swarm: 15 damage
Sunset : 22 damage, holding on to burning rope
Seraph
Justinian
Asta
Torod

"Throw down another rope! Sunset, be ready to switch!"

3d6 is a crazy amount of damage for a swarm at our level...speaking of which, I only rolled 2d6 for my Channel, and it should have been 3d6. If allowed, I will add another d6 for Sunset.

Channel fix: 1d6 ⇒ 1 Really?

Justinian sighs as the alchemical fire eats at the rope. '...just once....just once...I wish someone would take heed...' But he doesn't have time to voice his thoughts. From the side of his pack, he yanks his coil of rope and attending grappling hook from the quick release. He drops the free end next to Sunset while setting the hook on Seraph's pack.

"Don't move." He quips grimly to the tiefling paladin.

Move action: get rope. Move action: set hook. Free Action: drop rope down.

Channel 7/8
