This marsh land, those clouds... They remind me of... No! I must not dwell on things that can not be changed nor undone...
*Kellic stides boldly forward, spotting something in the distance*
Look alive elf! Vulgar, take the left! Byron, try to get around behind it and go for a weak spot. Pixie... Do something!
*Kellic moves in, launching a shriken as he does so*
to hit
damage
LOOK AT THE MOUTH ON THAT!!!
I swing my Axe and on my turn I for damage
On my next turn I will flurry of blows:
to hit for damage
And
to hit for damage
If I take more than 6 damage I will fall back and use ranged.
Nice one Dwarf!
I shoot the beast with my shortbow.
for damage.
I then scan around the surroundings for more nasty beasts, ignoring the dwarf who seems nasty when enraged.
Perception
Sorry guys, I jumped the gun a tad. Please choose a location on the map where you are standing. We will go from there. I will have to re roll who the critter attacks first.
On this map, simply select a row and column for your location.
Map.
way to roll with if DM...
where is the croc?
I'll be at 2C and then do all of the stuff I already posted...
Standing on D1.
Shortbow against flat footed croc: to hit for damage (including sneak attack).
Five foot step over to E2.
*Low whistle.* Good show fellas! 'ave at 'im!
This croc might provide enough for a new pair of boots for one of us.
I would have run into C3 and scored the hit on the croc
Initiative Order:
Byron
Kellic
Pixie
Vulgar
Croc
Byron shoots his shortbow but misses with a 10
Kellic steps up to B3 and lands both attacks for 13 damage
Pixie shoots his shortbow from way off in the shadows for another 6 damage and notices a second croc rushing up from the west.
Vulgar steps in and smashes the skull of the first croc and he dies on the spot in a spray of gore.
2nd Croc attacks ... Pixie
Bite: for damage *MISSES*
Tail: for damage *MISSES*
A most fortunate first round of combat! Now save that bard!
*Kellic does a flying dropkick into the side of the 2nd croc*
No! Not again! Why do bards keep getting killed by crocodiles when I'm around?!
to hit, for damage.
OOC: i don't have "dropbox" here at work so I'll guess
*Rushing towards the new croc*
RAHHHHHHHH
to hit
damage
Moves to A1, the long way and avoiding any attacks of opportunity, drawing his rapier and flanking croc.
*Byron moves to flank the croc and draws his rapier in one fluid motion.*
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 to hit, for 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (3) = 8 damage (including flanking sneak attack.
Take that, cursed reptilian malignant. C'mon Pixiedust, finish him off like only you can!
Opens in new window upon click.
Me thinks you are using the first msp link. I made a second maplink bud try that
That was my bad, I reposted putting my new location at A1, on the other side of croc2 from Pixiedust. After recounting, I think the croc would get an AoO as otherwise I have to make 2 diagonal moves.
Found it!! Thanks I was opening the original
can you please verify your positions on the map before we begin round 2. And from now on, please indicate the grid square you are moving to. For this one I made a few edits and assumptions so as to avoid AOOs and such.
I'll stand there i guess
There is good. Then I stick the croc with the pointy part of my rapier, again and again until it dies.
taking a 5 foot step into A1(now flanking it) I swing with all my might
to hit
for damage
DIE YOU TOOTHY BASTARD RAHHHHH!!!!!
Rapier in hand, Byron makes a play to stab at the vicious croc in a vital region.
to hit.
for damage
You'll look better as Vulgar's new shoes, you mud-sucking crocodilian!
OOC: some of us do actually work all day like an F-ing slave....
I 5' step back to D1. Provided the Croc is still alive, I cast hypnotism on it DC 16 will save, with a +2 as we're in combat. I affect HD of creatures...it doesn't need to understand, just hear and see my repetitive droning...
Your gestures and droning incantation fascinate nearby creatures, causing them to stop and stare blankly at you. fascinated creature is entranced by a supernatural or spell effect. The creature stands or sits quietly, taking no actions other than to pay attention to the fascinating effect, for as long as the effect lasts. It takes a –4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat, such as a hostile creature approaching, allows the fascinated creature a new saving throw against the fascinating effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a ranged weapon at the fascinated creature, automatically breaks the effect.
Come on Croco-baybeeee, see my tasty hand waving in front of your snout...nice crocodile, just look at my hand....C'mon you apes, kill this thing!!!
If it is still alive and follows Pixie's spell then I take my AoO
to hit for damage.
and then I attack on my turn, which should give me a flank for to hit for damage and a second hit from flurry for to hit for damage
if it doesn't draw the AoO, then I simply Flurry of blows.
If it attacks me for more than 6 damage, I fall back.
foul! I have AC 21
*Kellic jumps to Vulgar's aid*
Vulgar! No!
Time to get me a new pair of boots...
AoO to hit and damage.
Is there any chance of chasing it and Vulgar? If there is I follow and attack again.
to hit and damage.
FRAKIN' dice roller!!!!
Vulgar, have i added your ac wrong?
Scale is 5, 14 dex gives 2 more, 1 for your trait. I got you at 18 ac no? If im wrong put 3 hp back but your still grappled and headed for water.
After byrons AOO you will have 1 more round of attacks before he gets to water
*Lunges after the retreating croc, rapier leading;*
to hit
for damage
Can someone slip around to cut off this creature's route to the water? I just started to fancy having the dwarf around!
2nd AoO before croc gets to the water:
to hit
for damage
Take that you leathery, so to be boots, swamp-dweller. Give us back our dwarf!
sorry but its 10 + 5 for Scale + 2 for Dex + 2 for Shield + 1 for trait +1 for dodge= 21 AC
I try an opposed STR check vs its CMD to break the hold (on my turn of course)
Ah ok. On your sheet it says for armor just scale mail ... didn't notice the shield in the description. Ok add the 3 back and once the others take their turn you can make your check. You are "prone" right now and the croc looks "bloodied" to use a 4ed term.
On that note, I might get you guys to do a digital character sheet so the format is standardized. I'd put it up on my dropbox site and you guys would have access to it online. Just food for thought.
Byron lunges at the croc and manages to land a glancing blow. The thing looks beat up but still hods on to Vulgar and is dragging him towards a watery grave.
Please begin your round 3 actions. So Vulgar is going to try to break the grapple. What will the rest of you do?
Vile creature of scaly-kind! There will be no dwarven snack for you!
*Dives on croc, using all of his weight to plunge his blade deeply into the beast's lack of neck.*
To hit:
Damage:
*Dives on croc, using all of his weight to plunge his blade deeply into the beast's lack of neck.*
To hit: 1d20+1
Damage: 1d6+1
*Byron slips off the creature’s back like a hardened biscuit off of a buttered pan, covering himself in mud on the far side of the crocodile.*
*I take another 5' step away from the croc, strike a suitably heroic pose with my bow and sing:*
Byron, Kellic, and Vulgar the dwarf/attack and kill the croc/smash its skull and save the dwarf/'cuz Pixie's songs rock!
Inspire courage= plus 1 to attack and damage while I sing.
I am so happy that thing bit the dwarf not me....I wonder what dwarf tastes like?...what rhymes withe dwarf? Wharf? Morph? Shoot, c'Mon, kill the damned thing already
*Kellic stands fast and releases a flurry of punches*
damage for damage
and the other hand...
damage for damage
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, dunn'a let him eat me boys!!
Nice punch too Kellic
Vular! Worry about getting out of that thing after its dead! Hit the dam thing!!!!
I can attack at -2 rather than attempt to break the grapple.
can't...breathe...must...try to...kill...this...beast...before...it kills...me
to hit
for damage
OOC...if that didn't kill it, I quit!
Vulgar, in a near panic as the croc had ahold of his leg, grabs his axe and throws a wild swing at its front quarters and cleaves its leg right off.
With that, the croc dies.
An excellent first combat boys! Jolly good fight. You really didnt want to be fighting that in the water. After it dies you have no problem getting out.
Sigh...piece of cake. Glad to help out, a little credit here. A round of applause?
Hmmm, Vulgar did not seem to be inspired by my singing...sad, must be something wrong with his ears...
ooc: be sure to include the tiny (5% bonus to hit) +1 on attacks and damage when I say I inspire courage...after a while, it is really the only thing I've got left :).
*Pixiedust carefully picks his way through the much and carnage, avoiding getting dirty, and using prestidigitation to remain clean, and lays hands boldy upon Vulgar's wounds, singing a ditty about Jack and Diane...*
I cast Cure Light Wounds on the dwarf for .
whew, out of the grasp of that croc. Wait! what is that freaky elf coming over here for?! what is he chanting? He (she?) is going to touch me!! I'm too weak to resist...
What are you doing? Don't touch...
Hey!! that was nice...I feel good, not great, but way better than a few minutes ago. Might have to protect that elf more often
*I rub the salve on myself too*
now I have 14 of 15 HP left
After a near death experience, the party dusts itself off and gathers up its courage knowing that they work well as a team! This adventuring stuff just might pay off in the end if you can keep up the fine teamwork.
Are the skins of a croc worth anything back home?
*Picks himself out of the mud as gracefully as possible, brushes himself off and cleans his blade before sheathing it.*
Good show boys! Are you alright Vulgar? You are welcome to use my poultice if need be. He does look a bit better now than a few moments ago.
Heh, it would seem that I should stick more with my bow than blade. No weapon Krellic? Those fists seemed to do a bit of a trick on that crocodile's scaly hide. And Vulgar, I wouldn't want to be on the other side of that axe for all of the gems in Golrion. Pixiedust, I must admit that your golden voice did do some good in this fight as aid to those meeting the creature toe to toe, and that is of no little consequence.
It would seem that I've done pretty well with surrounding myself with those that can handle themselves. We might get this thing done after all.
As none of you have trained knowledge nature, I feel that you are all from this area so you may have heard a certain tidbit about the ecology and habits of the local crocs in passing or in general conversation. So I will permit an untrained knowledge local check and add in your int modifier too please.
