No you could probably surmise that from what they look like.

Those things look like they swim faster than they could crawl on land. Try and keep your distance from them! Ashimar says urgently to the others while moving away from the critters.

Move action to Q9 taking a circuitous route around the critters to avoid AoO

She glares angrily at Maldur pointing to him as he attacks the rat-catcher. You! You are defiling Shelyn's weapon with violence upon those with a just cause. Lay down your arms peacefully and you will be shown mercy. More mercy than what you would have shown these creatures - pointing to the crustaceans. Was catching them not enough? Did you intend to torture them further by boiling them alive? She stabs a finger at Maldur. There are better paths through life than the road you have chosen. You are outnumbered and I have no desire to see a life lost needlessly. Surrender and be redeemed!

Diplomacy? Not sure if its even applicable for Maldur to surrender or the critters to listen but gesturing angrily while speaking in the direction of Maldur hoping the critters go after him, not the one that released them from the cauldron. lol... go my little minions... git 'im!

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

As she finishes speaking, she readies her sling in case it's needed.

Akrem'dar takes a small step forward. 5 foot step to M10 He'll wait to see if there is surrender, if not...His hammer swings with killing force this time, knowing that even with one hit, he can't kill. But he can sure hurt. And hurt, he intends to do.

Swing: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 25
Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 3 = 15 Base modifier on weapon+bonus from raging+PA bonus

Jarrin sees the three creatures and manages to avoid one of their attacks. Tooollleeeennnn! Trouble! Jarrin then steps back and fires an arrow at the creature closest to him.

Bow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Arrow: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Tolenn steels herself and is just about to enter the fray with the last guardsman when Jarrin's shout brings her up short.

Turning she sees Jarrin and Ashimar beset by the creatures, "Keep out of reach of those claws!" she cries then launches herself forward at the nearest reefclaw. p11

Scimitar Attack
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Her scimitar's keen edge slices cleanly into one of the creature's chitinous shell.

"Not with you," Ellismus replies to the last man standing, firing off a volley of mystic globes at him.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 3) + 3 = 11

Now down to 24 charges.

Cedric ignores the squirming of the bag for now and steps around Baldrago's fallen form, swinging the sap at the Gardsman, but the pain from his wound prevents him from being effective. He remarks You sure you don't want to surrender, the big guy is getting angry and you are all alone now?

Ashimar over near the lobster-like creatures says Those things look like they swim faster than they could crawl on land. Try and keep your distance from them! as she moves across the grate, it clatters with every step she takes until she is back next to Tolenn. From the noise it made, she guesses it would not hold someone who weighed too much. As she moves she berates Maldur [b} You! You are defiling Shelyn's weapon with violence upon those with a just cause. Lay down your arms peacefully and you will be shown mercy. More mercy than what you would have shown these creatures. Was catching them not enough? Did you intend to torture them further by boiling them alive?[/b] and once there she finishes up with There are better paths through life than the road you have chosen. You are outnumbered and I have no desire to see a life lost needlessly. Surrender and be redeemed!

Akrem'dar steps up and brings the Earthbreaker around, hitting Maldur so hard it numbed his shoulder.

Jarrin takes a step backwards, the grate clattering and groaning under his feet, and snaps off an arrow which snaps as it hits the floor near the Reefclaw. Tooollleeeennnn! Trouble!

Hearing his cry for help, Tolenn takes a few steps forward slashing out with her sword as she says "Keep out of reach of those claws!" The sword sliced into the chitin of the creature.

Ellismus says "Not with you," Before uttering a command that has Maldur struck by 3 globes of force.

The Guardsman wavers on his feet as he backs up, withdrawing from the onslaught, hesitating at the doors to the Butchers Floor just long enough to open the doors and passing beyond. In the hall he shouts Help!!!! Bandits! perception #1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 perception #2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 perception #3: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 Vs DC 13 for #1 DC 14 for #2 and DC 16 for #3

At the end of the hall, in the front of the Butcher Shop, one of the other Guardsmen says Did you here that, and moves to fling open the door seeing his hurt ally....He yells [B]Maldur what the hell? Did you say Bandits?Pulling his Mace and shifting his shield around readying for combat.

The Reefclaws advanced. 1 crawling towards Akrem'dar, reaching out with 1 claw attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 vs AC 13 The claw latched onto a leg damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4 crushing into his left leg with surprising pressure Grab: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 VS CMD 20 But Akrem'dar shook it loose. Fort Save vs Poison: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 DC 13 before the venom of their claws could penetrate his boot.

The other snapped at Tolenn Twice with razor sharp claws attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 vs AC 18 both clacking on open air.

Maldur will have reach to any square within 10 feet and you will have to role AoO's to enter them +7 hit 2d4+3 damage crit 20/x3

and please dont forget if you cast a spell roll the bad guys save, so those coming after you know what the enemies status is

The Killing Floor Rd 4

This post ASSUMES Maldur is beyond the range of the heal! Correct me if that's not the case.

Quickly looking about her, Ashimar notices no immediate threats around her. She looks her friend standing by the reefclaws and then up to Cedric and Akrem'dar, noticing a wounded Cedric hobbling in pain and a slightly enraged and hurt barbarian. I could care less about the rat-catcher's methods but I suppose it would go against Shelyn's teachings to let him lose his life in his filthy place...

5 foot step to P9

Clutching her amulet, she whispers a silent prayer to her diety as a burst of energy washes over all living things around her.

Channel Pos Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Action - Channel Positive Energy - 30 ft Radius so *everyone* healed for 5 points including the unconscious guard who should now be at zero I believe. Maldur is out of range though so no benefits for him! ;)

Watch that one on the floor to make sure he doesn't wake up!

Looking back at Tolenn and Jarrin, she yells out again Use your crossbows if you must! Back away so they can't follow She takes out and loads her own sling in case one of the creatures comes near her.

I'll say again... they only have a 5 foot move. If you're 10 feet away from them, they can't attack you. :)

Feeling the wave of positive energy cedric appraise the current situation ellismus can you stop the guard who is running away? or i'll chase him down?

"Oh! I love seafood!" The giant of a man grins as the energy washes through him, removing all the pain from the nasty little creature. He decides to respond, with crushing force, his hammer leaving the shell greatly damaged, large chunks barely hanging on.

Earthbreaker PA: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3) + 5 + 2 + 3 = 17

Apparently I rolled the damage for a SMALL earthbreaker last time. lol His definitely isn't fall

Jarrin will fire an arrow at Maldur, hoping to put the man down before reinforcements arrive.

Bow: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 2 - 4 = 0
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Tolenn moves back from the creature she hit earlier to p10 where she left her crossbow. Once there she will swing her shield up to her back, sheath her scimitar and pick up her crossbow and reload.

Edited....someone else took p9 !

Round 4

Taking up maximum risk cedric will pursue the fleeing man all the way inside of his weapon reach to hit the lightly armor men

Madlur's Aoo: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 102d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6

Moving to J-13, fighting def

Sap: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 - 4 = 161d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11

Current AC 20

Ill wait til tonight to post to give Ell a chance before botting him

indeed i was waiting / hoping for a magic missile to down maldur :)

I don't have line of sight to Maldur and since it seemed to be something like a free action to open the door, rather than a move, I'm thinking the doors are the swinging type where one just pushes them to open and they fall closed behind, so there is likely total cover too.

Ellismus fires off a volley of magic missiles at the nearby reefclaw once his allies have stepped away from it.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) + 3 = 7

No The way I do doors is subtract 2 from your move to open a door and get through the doorway. ie maneuver around the door. It makes it pretty clean and allows a more fluid battlefield.

Ashimar takes a step top the side and calls upon the healing powers of Shelyn. The familiar burst of white light washed over all the living, including the fallen Guardsman and the lobster-like creatures on the floor, healing wounds of all alike. On the floor Baldrago's Eyes snap open with a gasp. Remember healing heals an equal amount of lethal and non-lethal so he healed 5 non-lethal and 5 lethal bringing him up 10 so hes awake

Watch that one on the floor to make sure he doesn't wake up! she points at Baldrago not realizing he already was awake. and then followed it up with Use your crossbows if you must! Back away so they can't follow

Cedric shouted Ellismus can you stop the guard who is running away? or i'll chase him down? but then realized the Wizard could not see the fleeing guardsman to target him with magic.

The grinning Giant of a man, Akrem'dar, shouted "Oh! I love seafood!" and brought his hammer down crushing through the carapace but still the creature continued to fight on becoming ferocious in its onslaught.

Jarrin took a step to his right and once more the grate rattled beneath his steps, he loosed an arrow through the open door at Maldur and it went past him to bounce of a step on the stairs going up behind him.

Tolenn hearing Ashimar's words, backs up and puts up her shield and scimitar, retrieving her Crossbow.

Cedric headed after Maldur and rounded the corner of the doorway and dodged past the extended Glaive to bring the sap once again upside his face, leaving a nasty welt along his jawline and dropped him to the floor unconscious.

Ellismus points the wand at the Reefclaw nearest to Tolenn and three balls of force strike it.

The Reefclaw nearest to Akrem'dar snaps out with a single claw feebly fighting even though it is staggered from the blow and oozes lifesblood fluids out of its cracked chitin. claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 vs AC 13 Its claw fastening on his leg damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4 and tries to hold on grapple: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 vs CMD 20 and failed as Akrem'dar jerked his leg back with unnatural strength from his raging heritage. FO save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 vs DC 13 and he shrugged off the effect of it's poison.

The closest Reefclaw to Tolenn crawled up to her and snapped at her with a single claw, gaining an advantage because she could not fend it off with a crossbow. claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 vs AC 18 but fortune was with the Paladin and it missed.

The last Reefclaw crawled up behind Cedric......remember he threatens Cedric. Take an AoO if he moves further than 5 foot step.

On the ground Baldrago slid his hand towards his sword but did not grab it as he lay on the ground prone. He did not want to provoke the big shoanti....

The bag continued to squirm and muffled noises could be heard within.

Karralo seeing Maldur fall, ran up the stairs where you could hear him banging on a door saying Boss Boss we are under attack by The Szcarni as he tried to make sense of who was attacking and seeing only a lone Varisian.

Parns comes out holding a hammer large enough to be a sister to Akrem'dar's Earthbreaker. and takes up a position at the base of the stairs ready to strike should Cedric come near. ready action attack Cedric if he advances +7 to hit 2d4+3 Crit 20 x4 damage

Maldur will have reach to any square within 10 feet and you will have to role AoO's to enter them +7 hit 2d4+3 damage crit 20/x3

The Killing Floor Rd 5

Akrem'dar continues to rage, not against the dying of the light but against the aggressive dying overgrown lobster.

Swing: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 26
Damage: 2d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 5 + 2 + 3 = 16

Confirm: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + (2, 6) = 20

Akrem'dar howls out when his hammer crushes the beastie, his eyes darting about to the next target.

Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Round 5

Cedric will 5ft step back to k14 and will attack the giant lobster

This is just a social warning, you should pay your protection fee for operating in our district says cedric to the guard playing on the family cue

Sap 1: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 2 = 151d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Sap 2: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 = 231d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Crit conf: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 2 = 221d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Realizing that firing arrows into combat isn't going to be effective Jarrin switches to his rapier and tries to aid the party with the lobster-like creatures.

Move to L13 and flank with Cedric. I believe I have to drop my bow in order to draw my rapier and move, correct?

Rapier: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Crit Threat: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Jarrin stabs decisively into the reefclaw, giving the creature a serious wound.

Tolenn lifts her leg out of the reach of the critter's claws, then steadies herself and fires her crossbow.

Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

The bolt embeds itself in the wood planking , sticking up between two of the reefclaw's many legs.

Rolling her eyes, mostly at herself as she failed to take into account how the guard would be healed, Ashimar runs up to the north wall, kicking the sword away (free action?) from the prone man to prevent him from rearming himself.

Move to K9

Raising her mace before her she addresses the prone man Surrender and live, neighbour. Shelyn has healed you with her compassion... but my friends can just as easily reverse the effects. I have no wish to see lives needlessly lost. Now what's in the bag?

Her message to the guard is reinforced by the mace she holds at the ready - prepared to bring it crashing down on him should he make the slightest hostile move.

Ready attack in case he insists on remaining hostile
Atk w/ mace ONLY if required: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 (+4 for prone)
Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ell?

Ellismus fores off another volley at the nearby Reefclaw (O11)

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2, 3) + 3 = 9

Akrem'dar brought the massive hammer down hard on the strange eel-lobster and smashed it into the floor. The creature immediately went into a frenzy, lashing out with spasms of its claws. The prone deserter received a couple nasty pinches from the claws, but shrugged off the effects of the venom.

Hearing the reference to him being a Sczarni from upstairs, Cedric plays into their fears stepping back and attacking the creature first saying This is just a social warning, you should pay your protection fee for operating in our district. He brought the twin saps down hard on the creature and it squeaked each time....

Jarrin dropped his bow and moved forward, pulling his Rapier out. As he wasn't that skilled with using it, he could not also attack with it. You have to have a +1 BAB to be able to pull a weapon out while moving. So I stopped Jarrin 10 feet away as I doubt youd get that close without being able to attack...

Tolenn took a step away from the creature engaged with her and fired her crossbow, missing. If you use a missile weapon while in melee it provokes an AoO, so I figured youd move first.

Ashimar moved along the side and kicked the sword away from the ex guardsman saying Surrender and live, neighbour. Shelyn has healed you with her compassion... but my friends can just as easily reverse the effects. I have no wish to see lives needlessly lost. Now what's in the bag? Ashimar see's his glance at the bag and notices how his faces darkens and then as he lurches for the sword she brings the mace down hard on his head and he went unconscious again.

Ellismus once again looses a volley of balls of force at the reeflcaw.

The two remaining reefclaws attack. One snapping claws at Cedric attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 vs AC 18 damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 grab: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 vs CMD 19 Cedrics Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 vs DC 13 loss of strength: 1d2 ⇒ 1 Cedric is down to 17 Strength The claw nicked his leg, but he felt the fast acting venom burning into his nervous system and felt his legs go a little wobbly.

The other crawled after Tolenn and snapped one claw at her attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 vs AC 17

The bag squirmed and noises came out of near Ashimars feet.

Parns hefted the Mallet saying Got ya didnt it. Ive seen that look before Sczarni. Wont be long before that venom has you weak as a kitten. Let see if we can help you meet your ancestors ehh? and with that he stepped forward swinging the mallet hard in a viscious arc. attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 vs AC 18, tripping on Maldurs outstretched arm caused the mattock to miss.

Karralo comes running back down the stairs saying Now youre in for it Szcarni punk. The Boss is coming and he will make short work of you.

Upstairs you can hear the heavy booted feet of someone coming.

Maldur will have reach to any square within 10 feet and you will have to role AoO's to enter them +7 hit 2d4+3 damage crit 20/x3

and please dont forget if you cast a spell roll the bad guys save, so those coming after you know what the enemies status is

The Killing Floor Rd 6

Oops, that's right. Forgot which character I was on. I will move to flank the reefclaw that is behind Cedric and use my delayed attack on it.

Once again discarding her crossbow, draws her scimitar and engages the frustrating crustacean before her.

Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Adding to her frustration , her scimitar glances off the creature causing no damage.

I'll try one last time before shutting up for good... the reefclaws can only move 5 feet at a time on land - period. If we use that to our advantage and stay away from them, we can enjoy good things like no poison, no damage, no deaths... y'know - the stuff most people often take for granted. :)

@GM - is the squirmy bag shaped like or sound humanoid?

I hear you just fine ;) However, Tolenn in her frustration has forgotten Ashimar's advice "in-game" ;D It'll serve as a life lesson for your friendly neighborhood paladin ;)

I thought it would be best to try and assist Cedric while I could since he has enough trouble already. Jarrin also isn't incredibly keen on facing the big humans one-on-one, I'm hoping another will take that spot.

Round 6

fighting def

Cedric will retaliate against the guard with the war mattock who tried to kill him

Sap: 1d20 + 3 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 2 - 4 = 151d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

No worries, that lobster is going to end on my diner table tonight replied cedric fighting his new opponent

Sap: 1d20 + 3 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 2 - 4 = 201d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7

current AC 20

waiting on Ell, Akrem'dar and Ashi

Is there something right to the north of Akrem'dar, enemy wise? It looks like it on the map, but I can't tell what. If it's something there, alter the attack for that, but if I'm just seeing things wrong...well...move to L13 if possible

Akrem'dar decides it's best to give his friends another lesson in damaging the enemy. And so, he takes several quick steps, swinging his earth breaker at the "This is a hammer, runt!"

Akrem'dar accepts the threat of danger, knowing that danger equals fun!

Crush the Bug-Lobster: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 + 2 - 1 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6) + 5 + 2 + 3 = 19

Possible Reefclaw AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Grab: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Poison Save vs DC 13: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Was waiting for a response on whether the squirming bag seemed humanoid but oh well... since everyone else is being rash I might as well join the club...

Ashimar shakes her head pitifully at the yet-again unconscious man by her feet. I did warn you brash one... I wish I didn't have to do that.

Satisfied that the man isn't getting up any time soon, she glances at the squirming bag behind her. Grabbing the deserter's fallen sword, she takes a step back and quickly slices open the bag to look at who or what has been squirming all this time.

5 foot step to L2, open the squirmy bag and let new monstrosities fly forth... hence the move to L2 so I can run for cover next round and leave you all to your fates ;)

Thanks...leaving Akrem'dar to die a most horrendous death. :P Feel the love. lol Nah. I know you wouldn't get Akrem'dar killed.

yup i could use a magic missile on my end :)

@Akrem: Out of curiosity, what was the AoO for? According to the map you were by the unconscious fella.

Ellismus moves along the back of the room to end where he can see through the open doors before pointing the wand and letting the missiles fly.

Move to R8.
Magic missile against any non-reefer enemy adjacent to Cedric (I can't tell who is who since the coordinates in the text don't match the map)

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 2) + 3 = 9

Yea, Tks Ellismus :)

Elli, I was moving to try and give Cedric a flank, if I could, because I thought there was a reefer just south of Cedric. And moving that far would probably get me an AoO. At least I think.

To be honest I was attempting to make that flank and hoped you might step up to face our humanoid opponents instead.

Ah. Ok. Then I guess, instead, we'll just spend all of Akrem'dar's round trying to get as close to I14 as possible. ^_^; lol

sliding in between the vat of water and the Lobster-like creature, Jarrin stabbed downward with his rapier, piercing its chit up near its head.

Tolenn forgoes Ashimar's caution and drops her crossbow, pulling the scimitar and slashing downward, glancing off its hardened chitin.

Ashimar glanced at the squirming figure in the bag and it looked somewhat humanoid but small oops sorry, thought Id said that already

Cedric dances in and swings his saps, one after another at the deserter while saying No worries, that lobster is going to end on my diner table tonight both saps connected on arms and shoulders, numbing body parts from the blows.

Akrem'dar glances at the now unconscious guardsman at his feet and looks at how he'd have to get to around the vats passing by the buglike creature near Tolenn and opted to go with his first instinct and move forward to crush the one near Jarrin...using your initial plan because it is the most sound, just no flanking for Akrem'dar. If you don;t like the result I can change things. The other way would take a double move and subject him to 2 AoO's His Earthbreaker crushed another reeflcaw it went into a death frenzy immediately snapping claws at those surrounding it. who 1 Akremd'ar 2 Jarrin 3 Cedric: 1d3 ⇒ 1 who 1 Akremd'ar 2 Jarrin 3 Cedric: 1d3 ⇒ 1 both snapping at the big Shoanti that had attacked it. attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 vs AC 15 1 claw clacked on empty air, the other sunk into his leg damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2 Fo Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Dc 13 st loss: 1d2 ⇒ 1 Akrem'dar's St is at 17 now. make temporary adjustments. Akrem'dar felt the venom of the claw racing up his leg making him sweat and his legs get weak.

Cedric tried to shrug off the effect of the reefclaw venom fo save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Rd 2-vs DC 13 st loss: 1d2 ⇒ 2 [b]Cedric is down to St 15. Make temporary adjustments but felt the venom burning through his body. Sweat beeded up on his brow.

The last reefclaw alive snapped both claws at Tolenn attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 vs AC 18 and both hit empty air.

glancing at the fallen foe Ashimar muttered I did warn you brash one... I wish I didn't have to do that before grabbing up his fallen sword and slashing open the bag. Spilling out was a halfling Laborer trussed up as well as you might truss up a pig awaiting slaughter....It squirmed and cried out through a gag and his eyes pleaded with you as it took in his surroundings...

Ellismus moves along behind the grate, away from possible reefclaw attacks and once more invoked the power of the wand, sending 3 globes of force into the mattock bearing deserter.

Parns backed up 5 feet and readied to attack the first who moved towards him Ready action attack whoever moves adjacent +7 2d4+3 Crit 20/x4 ya got me good there Szcarni, but I see the venom running through ya. Ya wont last long...

Karralo moves to stand next to his buddy and says with a smile The boss is coming. ya all are in for it now ready attack for anyone coming adjacent +4 1d8 crit 20/x2

Coming into view on the stairs of Cedric no one else can see him The leader has a spear in one hand and a bow in the other, he drops the bow against the wall and pulls the bowstring back, his forearms bulging from the tightness of the bow's pull and releases a single arrow at Cedric attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 vs Ac 20. damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Cedric felt the arrow sink into his shoulder a good 3 inches and he felt the room begin to spin.... Cedric is at 0 hit points. He can only take partial actions or go unconscious and no fighting...

Ranged attacks on Verik, have to be made from the J line or further in, as he is about 6 feet up the stairs. But for the same token he cannot shoot out into the room either.

Maldur will have reach to any square within 10 feet and you will have to role AoO's to enter them +7 hit 2d4+3 damage crit 20/x3

and please dont forget if you cast a spell roll the bad guys save, so those coming after you know what the enemies status is

The Killing Floor Rd 7

Cedric stays conscious after the arrow hits him by pure strength of will

Ellismus shoot the wounded one, so that we have only two enemies to face.

Ashimar looks down at the poor halfling trussed up by her feet, her steely gray eyes narrowing with resolve and determination. By Shelyn's grace! What cruelty is this? Are they deserters or just common thugs to treat the poor halfling in this manner? And these men were Korvosa's protectors at one time! What drives them to such injustice I wonder...

Reaching down to remove the gag from the halfling assuming free action?, she urgently addresses him in a low voice Azért vagyunk itt, hogy segítsen szomszédjának. Tégy kényelmetlenséget néhány pillanatig tovább, és mi lesz ingyenes hamarosan. Hogy hívják? Megsérült?

What she does for her movement and action for the round depend on whether it's a full-round action to free the halfling? Ashimar has 1 x CLW left so it's either free the hobbit or heal akrem'dar... ;)

That's not very sporting... Pfft... What am I thinking? What are we doing here, fighting seasoned guards where we're barely out of diapers, so to speak? Ellismus sighs, points the wand and fires off a volley at the guard that Cedric had already 'seasoned'.

MM @ Parns
Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2, 4) + 3 = 10

Charges: 20 remaining

Jarrin sees Cedric stagger from the arrow and quickly takes a 5' step into the space of the now-deceased reefclaw and will cast Cure Light Wounds before the man succumbs to his wounds.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Cedric will whisper his thanks and appreciation to Jarrin

Round 7

Feeling the magical healing Cedric will 5ft step forward to engage the new enemy

Sap: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 2 = 181d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

Sap: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 2 = 201d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

Ashimar reminded me about the readied action Karrolo has.
