That is true so negate that damage. Yea my rolls have been pretty good on both tables so far lol. So since you were still standing then You also swung at him and missed your attack.

Heh. Yeah, figured. I read your post, and first I was like, "Agh! Dammit!" Then I looked at his attack roll and I had a sigh of relief. Barely missed. He's not getting any mercy on my next attack.

"That's more like it," Susanoah menaced, "now I can go blade to blade with a clear conscience..."

Longsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Sudara yes, you are correct. I don't know what the heck I was looking at lol

Zahir walks around the wolf, trying to avoid to be bitten, so that he can flank the animal with Sudara. He then strikes the wolf with his mace.

I move one square north then one square northeast

Acrobatics check to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Attack wolf with light mace: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

+2 flanking bonus included

Zahir attempts to get around the dog but the dog notices him and snaps at his legs but misses him and bites air.

AoO vs Zahir: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Speaking of wolves, has mine come in yet?

yes I just have to post on the map.

Sudara again takes a step back, briefly holding his spear in one hand while he draws mystic signs in the air. They glowing symbols swirl briefly, then coalesce into the form and shape of an Eagle, which immediately begins attacking the Wolf.

Full Birdie Attack: Claw Claw Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: Claw Claw Bite: 1d4 ⇒ 31d4 ⇒ 31d4 ⇒ 3

5ft step back. Summon Monster 1 (Summoner ability) Eagle into space where Sudara was. Birdie attacks.

Ahn takes a swing at the thug in front him.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

your wolf is in the building. Just let me know where he ends up on your turn

I see our quarry on the table over there! Negi says as a black-furred wolf enters the room. Yes, the name is very misleading

On the off chance the Thug Ahn hit is still up:

Let's clear a path, Ahn! Negi calls, and orders Jon to attack the thug in front of them.

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

As Silver Jon leaps to attack, Negi stabs at the man with his own weapon.

Bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

And if he's down:

Enough wasting time, Negi says as Jon rushes into the room. let's get him!" Negi quickly mounts his ride, pulling out his lance and preparing to charge into the fray.

ride: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Looks like that's my move for the turn then

Ahn swings his greatsword striking the thug causing him to fall to the ground gurgling and chocking on his own blood.

Negi's wolf Jon rushes to his side as Negi climbs on his back setting his lance into place.

Elo swings his scimitar at Susanoah as his scimitar strikes the table beside him.

mwk scimitar vs Susanoah: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Sudara retreats from the onslaught of the dog and begins to weave signs in the air when suddenly an Eagle appears, as if out of no where, and engulfs the dog with claws and talons until the dog falls to the floor bleeding from multiple scratch marks all over its neck and torso as Susanoah swings his longsword at Elo getting his sword tangle up in the legs of a chair momentarily.

Jenya reloads with another precious paper cartridge, takes aim at the enraged bar owner, and fires.

PointBlank shot on touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 251d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Jenya fires a shot at Elo striking him right in the gut causing the man to fall to his knees holding his wound as he passes out from the bleeding injury.

Meanwhile the theug and the one-eyed man are kicking and swinging fists at each other in a struggle to get away as they both miss each other in a flurry of blows

thug vs one-eyed man: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4
one eyed man vs thug: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9

I think that regains grit right?

yes. Killing blow

Zahir heads toward the remaining thug and saids to him, menacingly. "It seems like you are alone now my friend. If I were you, I'd would stop hitting this poor man and move back a few feet."

Not a big deal but I think my position on the map is incorrect. I was flanking late Slobber with the eagle, so I should be two squares north of it and not between Negi and the eagle.

"stabilize, and bind the owner ... If that last thug fights, we will let him bleed out, but let's give these other a reprieve. No sense they die for there poor judgement today."

Ahn kneels at the thug at his feet and bind hims, then uses his clw wand to heal him.

yes I have just not updated the map yet as I am at work. I will update it at lunch

The thug seems to pay no mind to Zahir. He seems pretty intent to contain the man on the table as Ahn begins to bind the owner's wounds and limbs.

"I'm no healer, Ahn, I--gods, he's bleeding a lot," Susanoah looked concerned even as he walked deliberately over to the last thug to grab him, [b]"Did you have to shoot him, Jenya?"

If no one else has dealt with the remaining thug before my turn comes up I'll drop my sword and shield and attempt a grapple.

Grapple Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Jenya breathes a sigh of relief as the all out battle subsides to an unarmed slap fight that she has no interest getting involved in. Brushing a strand of hair away from the angry purple bruise forming on her forehead she says "I don't think he's going to be happy about us killing his puppy when he wakes up. Or me shooting his guts out for that matter. Idiot shouldn't have attacked six heavily armed people in the first place"

She takes her time in reloading her pistol with black power and bullet rather than the expensive cartridges now that the threat seems to have subsided.

Looking at Susanoah with a cocked eyebrow Jenya says "He was trying to kill you smart guy. And shooting is kind of most of what I do. I coulda brewed him a flask of Acid maybe instead if that's what you preferred. Moron is a stinking drug dealer anyways, why are you so concerned about him?."

Anyone else who tries to escalate this gets skewered! Negi brandishes his lance meaningfully, looking around for any hostile moves.

Readied Action: Anyone making a hostile action towards the group gets charged if I have a clear path to them

Sudara watches carefully. He isn't going to let a person die if it wasn't necessary. It hadn't taken much more than Janya opening her mouth to understand that he and he weren't going to see eye to eye.

"Because he isn't an animal? Or a monster? The mortal spirit is infinitely redeemable. It doesn't always pan out, but the chance must be given."

Sudara helps wrap everything up, including subdue the last thug if needed. He nods at both Ahn and Susanoah approvingly, for obviously placing some value on the life of another.

"Bind the dog as well … if we can prevent it from dying then we will. It's the least culpable of the lot."

diplomacy / grapple checks if you are going to subdue

A little help with the drugged out thug would be appreciated. Sudara and Zahir should be free to do something, right? XD

"Hey hey hey, we killed two people and your eagle thing killed a wolf today so why single me out. The guy I shot is still alive at least. Misfire here is the only way I can defend myself or anyone else and I'm not going to apologize for doing just that." Sticking her pistol back in her hostler Jenya disengages from the conversation by looking around the Second Chance more carefully. "And the guy was busy before we even got here. There's two bodies that have nothing to do with us. Wonder what their story is."

yes

"I warned you ...", ahn takes a pause from healing to hurl a ball of flame at the remaining thug.

ranged touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Diplomacy check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Sheesh. I think he's down. ;) Well done, Ahn.

Sudara shrugs.

" I don't think you were wrong for fighting. They came at us and self defense is our right. I was giving a direct answer to your question, Why should we be concerned about him? The fight is done, no reason to kill anyone else now that we are out of immediate danger.

Sudara will try to help talk down the remaining thug, assuming he isn't cinders. I'm a little confused at how many are left standing/alive.

Aid Another: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Ahn hurls a ball of flame from his fist at the thug striking him square in the chest. The thug's tattered clothing quickly engulfs into a small flame adherring itself to his skin as the thug falls to the ground groaning, smoke hissing from his burnt skin just as Zahir begins to speak some sense into the thug.

Combat over

As the last thug falls the one eyed man sees an opportunity to try for the door. As he leaps rfom the table the grit induced man stumbles over a broken chair and falls flat on his face.

There was just the one Sudara. this fight was a little hectic to look at on a map due to so many NPC's. It was meant to add confusion amongst everybody :D

"Ah! Hey!" the young paladin shouts at Fredrik, running to stop him before he... landed face first on the floor... "Stop. We're not here to hurt you. We didn't come here to hurt anybody."

The large human puts his boot on the one-eyed man's back, pinning him to the ground (grapple check?) for the time being.

"Just calm down and talk to us for a few minutes."

"Yeah well, I never said we should let the jerk bleed to death. I'm just put out by people berating me for shooting him when he was trying to kill.." Jenya is interrupted by the sound of the final thug screaming as he burned to death. "Now that there was overkill I'll admit."

"Whaaaat? I let him know what would happen if he continued.", says Ahn as he continues to secure, stabilize and heal if necessary.

yes grapple check Susanoah

Grappling: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

"Jenya," Noah began, "I do thank you for the assist. He was trying to kill me. On the other hand, I wasn't trying to kill him. I'm just... I'm not used to violence like this. I wanted to become a Paladin to help people... these big cities... they make everything so much more complicated..." He frowned as the man, Fredrik, struggled underneath him.

gahhh get offa me the one eyed man struggles in his drug induced state but held firm by Susanoah. what do yous want...

Jenya smiles at Ahn and drops into gnomish

Gnomish

To Susanoah: "That's alright, this stuff isn't easy for me either believe it or not."

With that said Jenya walks over to the unmarked body in the corner to see if she can figure out what happened.

Perception unmarked body: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Actually, seeing as we just saved your glutes from a good kicking, we thought you might repay us with some information. Negi said, smiling innocently as he rested his lance on his shoulder. We heard that you may have come across a missing lady of high birth, or at least marriage, and we just happened to be looking for her.

The one-eyed Andoran smugly looks at youI was hired to kidnap lady Anilah and sell her into slavery. I fobbed her off on Pardu Pildapush at his office in the Pits. ’Nough gold for a whole week o’ grit Frederik begins to hack and cough up blood, with red phlegm foaming on his lips. That's.. That's all I's told to do.

Hey this guy's alive. Probably worth waking him up to see if he knows something or needs help

Jenya walks over and crouches to the very obviously dead body that the bar owner was standing over to see what she finds.

Perception dead body: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

"Pardu Pildapush, huh? And what's his story?" Susanoah's boot remained where it was.

And just in case:
Grapple: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Ahn does it with disdain, but feels it's his duty not to leave a trail of unnecessary bodies.

Hey Ahn, maybe you could direct a little of that healing mine and Susanoah's way after you're done with these bastards

Elo is concious, but weary and not happy

Pildapush. He hires me. he owns the finest chattel in the pits. He collects people, so I's gets paid if I bring him people The man says as he is exhausted and coughs up more blood and pleghm.

"And where can we find this Pildapush? Where are the pits?" Zahir asks the coughing man.

Knowledge local of Diplomacy gather information (as you walk through town check)

Jenya moves closer to the rest of the group and drops into a whisper to avoid alerting the junkies or Elo.

Hey guys, I don't think this grit stuff is safe so before we head out shouldn't we confiscate and destroy as much of this stuff as possible? And since this place doesn't seem exactly legal I don't think there'll be any problem with us.. well.. looting it. Drug soused idiots owe me at least 13 gold for the ammo I wasted on 'em
