Aerel would attempt to aid if you wish, Benedict, but it was your initiative to check and I don't want to steal your thunder.
Aerel reads Goblin and reviews the documents with his allies and points out any especially interesting bits.

Benedict the Clever |

I don't have Knowledge (engineering) - only have it when I use the Manual of War to get Advanced Armor Training (Adaptable Training) - so feel free to roll or Take 10.
"I suppose these morlocks are our next target. They may have information about this Onyx Citadel."
We are currently at 144,160 XP, with 11th level being 155,000.

DM Stalwart |

Forgot to mention...
If the ogres are looted, each are wearing a set of full plate, and each carried a large masterwork greatsword. Collectively, the party recovers sixteen large-sized javelins, ten potions of cure light wounds and five potions of cure moderate wounds, plus 1,957 gp. One ogre also had a bag of tricks (grey).

Aerel Truthseeker |

Each potion is in a quart jar, unfortunately... :D
Knowledge (engineering): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Or I could agonize and debate and roll and get a 10. It just all works out sometimes. I also forgot that we knew the DC.
"This doesn't look like it was knocked down from outside. It's more like it lost structural integrity inside and collapsed in on itself."

Benedict the Clever |

"If there is a way to command the towers to do that, we're going to do that to the one in Phaendar.
For now, let's keep an eye out while Haela works."
That will take an hour, during which Benedict keeps watch for drakes, morlocks, or other foes.
At least there is shelter of the buildings here.
Perception Take 10: 10 + 18 = 28

Benedict the Clever |

"I suggest we rest here if possible, with watches, and continue exploring in the morning. It has been a long day."
Benedict has his Ring of Sustenance so can take 2 watches.

The Heroes of Phaendar take their watches as they rest throughout the night.
You hear a few muffled voices and movement along the perimeter of the camp.

Aerel Truthseeker |

With darkvision and high perception, Aerel makes sense for a watch in the deepest part of the night, but he would defer to the others' suggestions.

Benedict the Clever |

Grum and Benedict both have Rings of Sustenance so only need 2 hours of sleep.
Which watch is Benedict asleep?: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Benedict is awake.
Can I just say that the watches are:
1) William, Amkarang, Benedict
2) Aerel, Haela, Grum
3) Benedict, Grum
So Aerel gets a midnight watch as he noted, the two humans have the evening shift, and both Benedict and Grum have 2 shifts.
Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
Benedict will quietly wake the others. "Get up and get ready. Haela, Amkarang, no time for your armor."
Aerel and William have light armor so can sleep in it. Amkarang and Haela will be in a bit rougher shape but we can manage.

Aerel Truthseeker |

Perfect.
If he has time when Benedict wakes him up, Aerel will roll out of the bedroll and slip into cover.

Grum was quite glad that he had paid to enhance his armor so that it would not only clean itself, but that it would be as comfortable as wearing regular clothing. It made being in the field so much easier. With a smile he got to his feet, ready to face whatever was out there.

Amkarang the Unsinkable |

Amkarang, deeply asleep, wakes with a start as Benedict rouses him, ”Hmmm, where’d the rivers of rice wine go?” He blinks blearily before coming fully to his senses, ”Hei Feng’s beard, that was a good dream that got interrupted.”
Lacking time to don his armor, he grabs his meteor hammer and gets ready for whatever is to come.

Assuming this is not a surprise round, using point-blank shot, rapid shot, deadly aim, clustered shots, manyshot. Aerel will focus on the ogre to the right; note that he has darkvision.

Nice shooting Aerel! 151 damage if everything confirmed!
Benedict moves in front of Haela and uses Tactician to share Lastwall Phalanx with the party.
"Stick together!"
Reaches everyone except Aerel. +1 sacred bonus to AC and saves against evil creatures per adjacent ally; Haela grants an extra +1.
Benedict's AC is 30 with Lastwall Phalanx and Haela adjacent. Haela unarmored and flat-footed is AC 15. It will go up to 21 against giants once she is no longer flat-foooted.[/ooc]

Remembering all too well what happened the last time he charged in, Grum took his place on the line. If the ogre attacked Haela, then it would have to get through the half orc first.

William let a barrage of arrows loose trying to bring the ogres down.

DM Stalwart |

Aerel wasn't within 30' so no sneak attack. But the crit more than made up for that and the ogre is dead.
Aerel steps out from hiding and unleashes a barrage of well-placed arrows. When he's done, the ogre collapses.
William sends several arrows at his target, but the ogre had enough cover that only his first shot struck true.
Assuming Amkarang also holds the line
The wolves with the ogres race to attack. Grum's readied attack brings down the wolf attacking him. The other rushes toward Aerel.

Benedict the Clever |

I believe only the first attack from the Large archer goes against Aerel's flat-footed AC, not all of them. But if you get full attacks against flat-footed when coming out of Invisibility, then all Aerel needs is a Wand of Vanish to get full-attack Sneak Attacks, and Benedict can retrain out Improved Feint and Greater Feint.
"Aerel, fall back behind me!"
Benedict steps up to the ogre. He feints right, then strikes left.
Greater Feint: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (1) + 24 = 25
Attack, PA, Recklessness: 1d20 + 15 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 15 - 3 + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 3 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 3 + 9 = 20
His Bluff is good enough that he might succeed even on a 1, but the attack is probably a miss regardless.

Haela Sturm |

Haela delays, ready to heal Aerel if he moves adjacent.
Heal: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
Beats the DC by 10, so that is 20 base (2*target HD), +4 Frontier Healer, +2 Wis for Heal skill beating the DC by 5, +8 Planes ranks for beating the DC by 10, total of 34 points of healing.

Aerel Truthseeker |

Why would I step out of cover? Being hidden was my plan and my defense. 62 points of damage noted unless the GM changes his decision, flat-footed or not.
Aerel raises his buckler for the little defense it offers (25 with the buckler, 27 with phalanx?) and moves to their dwarven healer.

Aerel Truthseeker |

I completely missed that there was a map. I thought it was a theater of the mind scene. Thanks for the move.

William Grove |

William turns his arrows toward the enemy archer and fires.

Benedict the Clever |

Benedict points to the nearest ogre (the one threatening in melee).
"Amkarang, Grum, take him down!"
Fortunately he is within 10', so just a 5' step and Full Attack from each should do it with no AOO provoked.

Grum stepped forward, but he wasn’t “in the zone.” His form technically alright, but it didn’t sing with the joy of battle. He tried to shake it off, so that he could properly lose himself in the fight.

Amkarang the Unsinkable |

Amkarang, too, tries his best to but the hurt on the ogre as he steps forward and attacks, but the lethargy of an abrupt wakeup throws off his form.

Benedict the Clever |

The ogre is denied his Dex, if that matters. Some of Amkarang's attacks might hit.

Amkarang the Unsinkable |

It might…metagame knowledge dictates ogres often have terrible dex but I’ll go ahead and roll damage for the attacks that were above 20.

Grum and Amkarang combine to take the second ogre down with brutal effectiveness. One of William's arrows hit the archer, eliciting a grunt of pain from her.

I think that hits Haela - she is only AC 17 because unarmored. She is CMD 26 against Trip if it matters.
Benedict steps and attacks the wolf.

Will wait on Haela's turn until I know whether or not she was tripped, and whether or not the wolf is still up.
Benedict is AC 30 at the moment with Lastwall Phalanx.

If Benedict did not drop the wolf, then Haela will try to finish it off.

Aerel Truthseeker |

Situation questions: Is the structure to our 'west' tall enough to hide behind? Is Aerel able to take a full attack or do his allies block his shot?

DM Stalwart |

The wolf is dead after the crushing blows of the two heroes.
Aerel sees that the structure to the west of him is a temporary structure made of wood, but tall enough for him to hide behind. His allies would block his shot, providing cover to the ogress. But she's standing behind some old crates that already provide her cover, so it doesn't matter.
All: I'm traveling this weekend, but Aerel, Grum, William and Amkarang are all still up. See you next week.

Benedict the Clever |

Benedict moves to get closer to the archer and uses Barroom Brawler to pick up Step Up.
As it looks like Grum missed his turn, can he take two rounds of actions?

![]() |

My bad, sorry!
Showing some restraint, Grum kept pace with Benedict and Haela. He did not offer any battlecries, nor did he charge in. Rather he double timed with them, keeping a long loose formation to attack with them. If nothing else, it was better that enduring another hour of painful surgery at the dwarf’s hands.
