brvheart, do you mean the Orcus priest AoE?

yes, that is what I meant. Sorry missed this earlier.

Initiative Order Round One
Aggrammar
Almon
Nuala
Sorek
Gnolls
Lars
If our new player is ready he can enter any time.

I cannot see the map - Aggrammar will not be at the front line, but behind it, attacking from there when possible.

"Dogs" - Aggrammar snorts in derision - "Anyone got some leashes?"

Starting Sermonic Performance (bonuses have INCREASED): +2 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +2 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls..

Nuala studies one of the close gnolls and fires..

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Dam: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

charging through the door hoping to attack the Gnolls before they get organized. Sorek moves between 2 gnolls and leaps up and kicks both of them at the same time.

move: to between the two gnolls
standard:Swift Claws

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12
if this attack roll hits it will affect both gnolls

Not wanting to waste his magic on the mangy, dog-like humanoids, Almon moves into the room drawing bow and arrow. He looses the arrow at the gnoll in the top right corner.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5

The gnolls move up and attack. One on Almon
spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
And two on Sorek
spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Lars is up

Lars moves up and stabs away.

power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

That hits and kills one
Initiative Order Round Two
Aggrammar
Almon
Nuala
Sorek
Gnolls
Lars

On the map, I see only one gnoll alive. IF that is so:

Aggrammar moves forward - "That's how it's done lads" - he compliments his companions, moving to thrust his own spear at the last gnoll.

Longspear: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

There are two, the other by Sorek is on top of one that is dead. That missed btw.

Nuala will target the same one from last round if its alive.. If not a different one.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Dam: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Almon side-steps fifteen feet to his left to get a clear shot at one of the two remaining gnolls.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 17 Includes -4 for firing into melee
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6

As the Gnolls drop all around him, Sorek looks upon the lone remaining Gnoll, seeing no need for mercy, he ends its existence...healing himself while he does

move:none
standard: enduring crane strike

attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 = 29
damage: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 + 2 = 14

crit confirmation: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13

if it hits
healing to Sorek: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Three more appear out of the darkness from the south, two attacking Sorek:
spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

In the meantime, Lars sees two more leading hyenas in the hallway to the west coming on.

unless i'm mistaken it looks like we just need Lars actions to finish round 2

and any preferences on Oath of Vengeance or not from Lars and Nuala...see recruitment thread

Yes, Lars is up then round three
Aggrammar
Almon
Nuala
Sorek
Gnolls
Lars

Throwing my action just in case:

"Lars lad, can ye hold that end?"

Free: Keeping up Sermonic Performance
Standard: Attacking the one on Sorek.

Longspear: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

"Against these dogs? " and he moves to engage the next.

power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Nuala will study and engauge the gnoll on Lars..

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Dam: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

looking at the map I still have 2 gnolls adjacent to me.

Dodging the feeble attacks of the gnoll reinforcements, Sorek attacks the 2 gnolls within striking distance

attack#1: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13
damage#1: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 6 + 2 = 18

attack#2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26
damage#2: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 + 2 = 14

In the darkness of the chamber beyond a nimbus appears then resolves into the shape of a bastardsword. An armorclad warrior wielding it with two hands comes charging into the frey. He brings the sword down on the gnoll closest to the back.

1d20 + 7 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 - 2 = 20
1d10 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

"I thought I heard fighting! I naively thought they might simply be running for fear of me ha ha! Mind if I join you?"

"I am Myrick, Oathbound to Muir."

@brvheart is Myrick joining combat in the hallway with Lars and Nuala? or has he come through one of the doors leading into the room with Almon, Aggrammar and Sorek?

Please roll init Myrick so I know where to place you in the order.

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

If he was attacking a gnoll he would have to enter the room as the hyenas are in front in the hall.

looks like we need the following to act to complete round 3: Almon, Gnolls, Lars, Myrick(actions already posted)

That is how it looks to me also Sorek. Glad to be on the same page with someone!:)

Lars goes after the critters in the round, so I wait for that. Round 2 action was posted but not resolved by the GM.

Almon rushes back up into the hallway to assist Lars and Nuala with the new threats.

Ranged Attack (North Hyena): 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6

You hit a hyena in round 2 Lars. I took off the damage back when you posted. Almon hits the one north of it.

Who are we missing then? :D

Looks to me like we are waiting on the Gnolls

Upon seeing this warrior in gleaming armor burst into the room and with his large bastard sword cleave right through the last remaining Gnoll in the room "Well that's a welcome surprise. Any help from Muir is more than welcome "

Turning about full circle his fists glowing held high in the air "here puppies... Sorek and Myrick have some treats for you "

-Posted with Wayfinder

The hyenas attack, one on Almon
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
The other on Lars
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
One Gnoll attacks Lars
battle axe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Lars is up then round four
Aggrammar
Almon
Nuala
Sorek
Gnolls
Lars
Myrick

Lars will attack the Gnoll that attacked him.

power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

"Ye've arrived just in time for a good ol'scuffle" - Aggrammar chuckles at Myrick - "And it seems ye are already makin' yerself at home - good"

Then then dwarf takes up a position from where he can guard the entrance through which they gained access to the room - "Come then! Get back and we should be fine|!" - Aggrammar roars at his companions outside.

All the gnolls in the room are dead or dying.

"Well you hardly needed my help, they are all downed."

For sake of description, Myrick looks like his avatar

He wears a tabard emblazoned with a red sword shown upright and tip up. In one of his hands he holds an ornate and magical sword, in the other an enchanted spiked shield which he flips almost effortlessly up on his shoulder.

He offers his hand.

"There is time now for a more formal introductions. I am Myrick and as my surname suggests, I serve Our Lady of Virtue. I have taken an Oath of Vengence and I have come to Rappen Athuk to avenge the blessed dead and punish the evil that inhabits this place."

"Well met then lad - I am Aggrammar" - the dwarf extends his own calloused hand in return, a silver cross symbol dangling around his neck - "It seems these dogs got more than they bargained for" - he pokes one of the dead gnolls with his boot - "Suits them just fine"

Almon winces from the bite. He drops back five-feet and shoots off another arrow.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 10

All the gnolls in the room are dead or dying.

brvheart, my intention is to guard the entrance towards possible incoming enemies from the corridor (assuming my companions will retreat to a more favorable position :P)

Nuala likewise fires at one outside of the room.. "Now's not the time for introductions, there's still gnolls about!"

Study and fire at Almon's target as well..

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Dam: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

"I'm here Nuala - and ye lads and lasses should be retreatin' and lettin' them come at us" - Aggrammar snorts - "If ye stay there, them bows won't be much good against an axe"

On his turn Myrick will move his 4squares with one diagonal towards the fighting.

"If there are still those in need of judgement I am here as the Lady's Instrument, should that be her will!"

Myrick falls short of being able to make it outside of the door.

"Move past me and let me be your shield."

looking at the map...can Sorek move through the door and end up next to Lars and still have a standard action left? Looks to me like I can. I hate these crowded hallways btw.

Almon dropped his Nuala, but you can drop the gnoll behind it. Yes, it appears so Sorek. You have been fortunate not to have had many so far. Usually there are a lot of them.

Round 4

As the last enemy in the room is vanquished, Sorek can now hear the sounds of combat in the hall..

"Myrick.. more gnolls in the hall"

move: move next to Lars
standard: Flurry Strike attacking the nearest enemy

attack#1: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17
damage#1: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 + 2 = 18

attack#2: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 = 24
damage#2: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 + 2 = 15

"Kinda crowded in here isn't it Lars"
