Nadab draws his wand of magic missile and fires one at the priest holding the child.

Magic Missile!: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

" take that you ***** ***** *****"

I'll attack the next closest priest/pirate next to me (assuming there is one within my 10-ft reach; if not, I'll move first and attack second), then I'll attempt to position myself within striking distance of as many as possible, taking advantage of attacks of opportunity as often as possible (3 total with Combat Reflexes), doing so using acrobatics to avoid incurring any such attacks myself.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 6, 3) + 4 = 18
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"You will suffer for your deeds!"

I will stab the upper back of the head priest with my kukri. The sleep poison on the kukri is DC 13 Fortitude save, initial Staggered for 1d4 rounds, secondary Unconcious for 1 minute, frequency 1/round, cure is 1 save. I assume I would be using my previous attack and damage roll, unless you want another.

If the priest is dead or unconcious, I will attempt to drag the child away and begin to resuscitate him. Knowledge Nature-Heal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

if the priest is alive, I will continue to attack him and stay close so I can take advantage of the silence spell.

With the methodical stroke of a trained killer, Captain Ventra cuts deep into his victim.

Initiative order
Keila-17
Nadab-12

missing Semban

It's a 5. Ha... not last.

The look the high priest has could chill the very blood in your veins. Sheer outrage at this intrusion. Only to be replaced by utter surprise as two giant sized men wielding huge weapons begin to cut a swath through his men. He starts to wave his hands and tries to begin a chant, only to realize he cannot speak. Panicked he tries to jump down from the stage to join his men, but instead he feels a sharp pain in his back as a kukri stabs down.
you got a attack of opportunity.

Fort save. : 1d20 ⇒ 18

The priest then stumbles down into the midst of the priests and draws one of his disciples dagger from their belt. Keila continues on with her onslaught with a tripped priest ahead of her and one in front of him, she first stomps down, knocking the first unconscious, then stepping forward punches the next priest in the face, leaving it caved in and him bleeding out.

The pirate captain closest to the end of the pews and next to the last two priests in the row on the right pulls a rapier and deftly moves over the pews to keilas side, being careful to avoid the two hulking men. He then stabs forward

rapier attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Missing widely as Kiela twists with the attack. Seeing the of thier companions being decimated the remaining 4 priests begin casting. Anyone with spellcraft can try to identify what they are casting.

They then all draws Thier daggers, except for the one on the back left who's dagger was previously taken by the head priest.

The rest of the pirates then rally to their captains aid and pile out of the pews and around to confront Robert and Semban, provoking two attacks from Semban and three from Robert.

Semban attack 1: 1d20 ⇒ 4 Semban attack 2: 1d20 ⇒ 14 Robert attack 1: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Semban damage : 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) + 7 = 20
Robert attack 2: 1d20 ⇒ 4Robert attack 3: 1d20 ⇒ 9
Robert damage 1: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Robert damage 2: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Robert connects with two, looping off one's head and gravely wounding another. Semban follows suit and cuts down another Pirate.

Nadabs missile then flies forth slamming into the head priest, further infuriating the man.

Xanos moves closer to the captain around the flank and uses fortune on him.

ugh now I can't post from my new gm alias. We need to wait for Robert's next attack.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Mwk. Fauchard: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 Damage: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 8) + 6 = 18

Robert attacks the next pirate he can.

Durp....totally forgot you were enlarged as far as damage went, just pretend that didn't happen lol. Also keep in mind I do A LOT of this from my phone and sometimes auto correct really screws up what I am trying to say, so please don'd hold things like that against me. However I recently got a hotspot for my laptop and I will be posting more from that so I should be able to do combats like this a little smoother.

sorry I had my B-day yesterday and was unavailable.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Xanos will use his Storm Burst ability on the head priest.

That should help mess with his ability to target us. Chompy will remain with Xanos, action readied to attack the first enemy that comes after Xanos.

Spellcraft : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Still here. Waiting.

Hal waits in the street, half peeping through the door, half trying to look casual and watch the street. He is quite figidity and struggles to keep the "nothing to see here" look up.

If anything is on the street of importance please let me know. Like guards for example.

'this whole thing could be fun after all'
Keila seizes up the pirate captain, trying to determine his most likely fighting style based on his stace, choice of weapon and all the other tells a experienced fighter can read.

perception/sense motiv: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

'he is using a rapier, that means his style is either based on precision or on speed, his main talent is close combat, or he wouldn't have engaged me in melee'

attack/disarm 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage 1: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
attack/disarm 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
damage 1: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

@DM: try posting from a phone with german autocorrect (I recently found out how to switch it to english)

on my next available action, I will attempt to revive the child using my knowledge nature in lieu of heal

Captain Ventra grabs the chil out of the sacrificial pool, and begins to breathe life into his waterlogged lungs. Live, damn you, or this nonsense will be for nothing... Ventra puts more effort into resuscitating the child.

I assume I would use my 20 from earlier, unless you want a reroll.

No the 20 from earlier is still good. And Xanos and nadab can tell the priests were casting sanctuary.

Robert moving 5 ft to the right cuts down another pirate.

Captain Ventra, pounding on the boys chest and breathing into his lungs manages to bring the boy back, although he is unconscious at this point.

The head priest goes back into casting, roll another spellcraft to know what it is.

Keila deftly disarms the Pirate captain however misses her next strike. you can tell he is a very agile sort by the way he moves and uses only a rapier.

The Pirate Captain, now lacking a weapon and seeing that enguaging this lot any further in melee is a foolhardy task, moves back, flipping over one of his crew and moving to the back of the church.

The priests now try to retreat provoking a attack of opportunity while moving through the exstended reach of Robert and Semban.

both of you roll will saves. You also both get one attack of opportunity.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Is the cleric that is casting within the silence spell's radius?

If Hal notices all the pirates running to escape, he will run back to the docks ahead of them. His intent is not to engage them but to note what ship they board looking like a bystander. He feels like he is not abandoning his crew because they are mopping the floor with evil clerics and pirates.

-Posted with Wayfinder

No he moved away from the circle and captain Ventra is busy with the boy at the alter.

" COWARD! Come back here you wussy goat-***** son of a ***** and a fish-sausage." shouts Keila at the fleeing Pirate Captain.

With a huff the martial artist turns towards the head priest
if I can reach him with a chargeand charges the man to deliver a devastating punch

else, throws her recently aquired rapier at the man or if another priest is between her hand the head priest at him and moves closer to the caster

hit: 1d20 ⇒ 11 +6 (charge+power attack), +2 throw improvised weapon(range = 20) - penaltys
damage(unarmed power atttack): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage(thrown rapier): 1d4 ⇒ 2?

spellcraft : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

So the only one still attacking is the head priest?

@Nadab: I think so, I am not sure about the normal pirates(if there are any left)
@DM: I guess the pirate captain used a withdraw action?

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20, damage: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 5, 2) + 4 = 12

Also, can I get a quick head count of the enemies who are still fighting and/or running?

@Keila : yeah with some acrobatics. @ Semban: there is the head priest, pirate captain, 4 priests, and 3 pirates after your last attack of opportunity. @Nadab: you are correct. And you identify the spell he is casting as Fog cloud.

-Posted with Wayfinder

acrobatics : 1d20 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 5 = 14

is the head priest next to anyone? How many people, and are any of them my allies?

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Mwk. Fauchard: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Robert, you should still be rolling 2d8 for damage. lol I won't pass up an opportunity for possibly killing even more of the crap out of these guys if it presents itself.

Robert attempts to swing at the fleeing priest but as he lifts his weapon he cannot seem to swing.

@Ventra: He is currently 15 ft away from you, he is about 10ft Keila, and has 3 priests around him on the other side away from you.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Waiting on Ventra to then start the next round.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The Captain looks to his crew after bringing the boy back from the grave. He sees the cluster of clergy and primes an Alchemist's Fire for their backsides.

Ventra will lob an Alchemist's Fire at the head priest, hoping to set them all alight. Also stealth like, since the priest hasn't "seen him."

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Splash Damage = 3

Sneak Attack Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

I don't think I can counter the priests spell...

Nadab fires another magic missile at the head priest.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

So I guess since most everybody is trying to flee, my best bet for hitting as many of them as possible would be to stand at the door and block their exit. Still using my acro roll from earlier if I'd be passing through threatened squares.

Huzzah!!! I have a slow week this week so regular posting can resume!!!@Ventra: roll a will save. Ps I can post a lot today.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Will Save #2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Adding +2 to the save if it's vs a compulsion effect. The second roll being from Shoresong's Fortune Hex, though I will stick with the first roll.

You get a strong feeling this man isn't one you want to hurt, but you manage to barely shove out the intrusion and strike at the priest.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The strike interrupts his spell and with a look of defeat he goes to his knees as you withdraw your kukri from his back.

he has surrendered at this point. You can pursue the remaining priests and pirates if you all would like. If not we are out of combat. If so we will continue initiative.

-Posted with Wayfinder

if the head priest has surrendered, Keila will charge the pirate captain(or a pirate between them)

Xanos will see the priest surrendering and turn to instead turn his attention to the child. Perhaps he can administer aid.

Is there anything I can do to help him?

Any ability score healing would be good.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Still planning to position myself between the door to prevent anyone from escaping. But I assume this has already happened, since my initiative order has come and gone, lol.

Crap I've not prepared any restoration spells.

Beyond just letting the boy rest and protecting him there isn't much to do for him.

The head pirate scrambles past the priests , pushing them out of the way, heading into a door in the back of the room. The door closes and the rest of your opponents bang on the door spitting curses. Keila charges another pirate Slamming his head into the floor, after which the rest surrender and the priests follow suit. You are all out of combat.

Was the pirate captain within my reach for me to get an AoO when he ran?

So, to be clear, I had planned to block off the door on my turn, which should have happened prior to Ventra's turn, which you already resolved. Do, then, I get any opportunity to prevent the enemy captain's flight?

you are correct sir I should have let you attack, that was my bad. However there is a door in the back of the room and there would be no way for you to get over there without provoking a lot of attacks. Also the Pirate captain stayed out of both yours and Robert's reach. Aside from that the only door you were aware of at the time was the one you came in. If you would like however you may say you slayed another priest or pirate retroactively, however it doesn't really effect the outcome much. You wouldn't of had the movement to intercept anyone had you even known of the back room. I will try to be more vigilant about keeping track of initiative order. Further if anyone else thinks I may have made a mistake at some point feel free to address it. I will be sure to either fix it or exsplain why something happened the way it did. Any who the Pirate Captain positioning and escape were within the description as well as why it was difficult to chase him relative to your positions. Keila was the only one in relatively the same position to chase.

-Posted with Wayfinder

My apologies, I didn't see that it was through a back door. How far from me is it? I did make a pretty decent acrobatics check earlier, and movement permitting, I'd like to reposition in that direction instead. My impression was that there was just the one exit to block, so this changes things. Here, I'll even make a retroactive perception check to have seen the door earlier (I'm 10 feet tall and all ATM, so there probably isn't anybody obstructing my view of it).

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

excellent! Remember I never showed my face to those in the evil church. Also remember I have retreated to the docks to identify any others trying to make a play for their ship. Assuming it is the buttcrack of dawn and not too many people out I should be able to spot the captain as he enters the docks. Hal will just do a nondescript action and keep an eye out, like looking like a drunk that found a place to sleep it off.

-Posted with Wayfinder

can Keila see the fleeing Captain? If not, how much lead does he have?
