Jennis rubs his eyes before grabbing his boots and pulling them on. Whatever the ruckus, it wouldn't do to arrive half prepared. He slips his pack on and grabs his crossbow.
Jennis you were able to wake and gear up on Round 1, so you still have a Round 2 action.
The wolf snaps is jaws around the man's neck and rips out a chunk of meat and esophagus. Blood squirts all over the place as the man's head lolls lifelessly to the side.
The third wolf glances at the man which thumped it with a maul, and bites out at him.

Jennis quickly heads for the door, knocking on any closed doors as he passes them Wake up! Wake up!
Once downstairs, he'll assess from the side of the doorway what is transpiring before heading outside (to AU12. Seeing the carnage taking place, Jennis lifts the crossbow, and sights in on one of the wolves (w7) (assuming there are enough torches to give his low-light a line of sight).
Unfortunately, his bolt flies wide, hitting the broadside of the barn next to the wolf.

@ DM Kor:
Having reduced the wolf to 0 or less hps, I think I have to make a will save. Wild Rager. I'm not sure if that only applies when I am already raging, but I'll assume it's every time I drop someone unless you rule otherwise. will save:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 So I'm fine.
I'm not completely satisfied with how they have tried to balance that ability versus the extra attack you get at 2nd. Rationally, I would think that if you have more hostile targets in front of you, the less likely you would get confused. Accordingly, you may add a +2 bonus to your Will save for every enemy that is adjacent to you at the time you make the save. This makes killing the last opponent perhaps a bit more dramatic and it also encourages your rager to stay in the thick of the battle... not like he needed it though :)

@ DM Kor:
Good deal.
Oh, and the other balancing factor of the confusion is that rounds I'm confused and raging don't count against my rounds/day of raging. One little noted feature of confusion is that if you are attacked, you automatically attack that creature on your next turn. Which is more incentive for getting in the thick of it. To be honest, I don't see the point of playing a barbarian any other way.
Anyway ... I'm having fun. Thanks for a good game!

Eve on hearing a ruckus outside exits her room, goes down the hall to the door, opens it, exits the building, heads east and looks around the corner southward.

Varnus pulls out his flachion, and stops telling his tale, but it still seems to inspire a bit. He then moves up to the wolf to make it easier for Baern to hit it.
Pulling out falchion, and moving to AT, 37. Then ending performance as a free action, but Lingering Performance allows the benefits to continue on for 2 rounds.

Still emboldened by the half-orc's words, and now assisted by his help in cornering the wolf, Baern drives his fist down at the foul creature's skull. He then darts around the wolf to afford Clyde the same benefit provided to him by Varnus.
Piercing unarmed strike at W1, followed by 5 foot step to AS36.
Eve and Bradford leave their rooms, and run outside to the see current carnage.
Jennis Shoots her x-bow and sinks a bolt deep into a wolf.
Varnus moves into a flanking position to help distract the wolf Baern is attacking.
Baern punches forward and sink his arm deep into the wolf's meaty interior... not something he was expecting. The rotting wolf seems largely un-phased by the blow.
Most of the pack of wolves loose interest in their current snack and seek out fresh meat. Their pace is a little awkward, almost as if they were drunk. One charges in a straight line at Olfwei.
The wolf plows straight into Olfwei and bites him solidly. As is retracts back with its mouthful of meat, stick yellow mucus-like strands stretch away from the barbarian's bite wound.
Olfwei you are the proud recipient of 9 bite damage, and 1 acid damage. You will also need to make a Fort save please as you feel the thick gooey mucus burning your open wound... (DC unknown).
Eric, I think you are a round ahead in actions. I believe your Last Post in round 2 was declaring your round 3 action. I do tend to get confused easily when DM'ing so many people, so let me know if I am missing something.
Bonthwain darts out from the buildings, mouthing a hasty prayer to hinder his enemies.
Moves to AT14.
Casting Grease on the 4 squares from AT19 to AU20. DC 16 reflex or fall down, DC 10 acrobatics to move through it.
Hopefully, these things aren't smart enough to go around.

Ouch.
Fort:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
NOW I'm bloody raging, adjusting AC/Saves/hps accordingly. Dropping Earthbreaker and attacking with the scythe. I believe at +1 for inspire still?
Noticing that battering the beasts isn't as effective as it should be, Olfwei drops the huge club and pulls the war-scythe over his left shoulder, as the pain of his wound clouds his vision in a red haze of bloodlust.
Power Attack on W6:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Damage on W6:2d4 + 13 ⇒ (3, 2) + 13 = 18
Feeling the war-scythe slice through the unnatural flesh, Olfwei's bloodlust surges, threatening to overwhelm him, but he is able to master it, for the moment.

Jennis reloads as he mumbles under his breath, just a some rest for a couple of days, nice easy low threat town, why keep any combat spells readied? My father, well he'd just be laughing.
Flipping the crossbow back up, Jennis sees that one of the wolves is much closer, This is so not like wolves! I should have paid attention to the master of arms, maybe I'd be hitting something.

Inspire will last until the end of Round 5, so don't forget +1 to attack, and damage Clyde, Baern, Varnus, Olfwei, and Guard 2.
Round 4 actions
Varnus steps forward placing himself in a prime postion for some wolves to attack, and swings at the wolf who is attacking Olfwei. as he swings he calls out to the guard still standing.
"Stay back, and cover our rear."

Despite being disgusted at what had happened when he'd buried his fist into one of the creatures, Baern kept moving. Seeing that another wolf had snuck up behind him, Baern danced around to the side of it, this time throwing a kick at the wolf as he tried to keep himself safe.
The wolf on Baern snaps at his arm, but the agile monk manages to pull it away just in time.
The wolf of Olfwei seems intent on finishing the job his friend had started.
W5 crit confirm:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 Damage to Olfwei:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 (+1 Acid damage from the new wound). The burning sensation from Olfwei's old wound has seemed to have stopped.
Olfwei, another Fort Save
Trip on Olfwei:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Although the wolf's savage attack failed to bring down the barbarian, it did manage to knock him off his feet.
The wolf that charged Varnus came up short.
The wolf on Eric chomps onto his leg.
Damage on Eric:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 (+1 Acid damage from the wound).
Eric, please make a Fort Save
Trip on Eric:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
The wolf tugs on Eric's leg and takes him to the ground.
Digging his nail into the palm of his hand, Bonthwain draws blood. He then begins chanting.
Free Action: Using Sacrificial Boon to deal 1 damage to himself, gaining +1 on his next damage, save or skill roll.
This also sets off his Bloodline Arcana, raising his caster level by 1.

Since we are in the same initiative group, does this damage simultaneously heal from Bradford's channel energy?
Bradford hurries forward and calls upon Sarenrae's divine gift to heal his comrade. Eric feels a rush of warm energy wash through him, healing some of his wounds. The burning sticky ichor on his leg from the wolf bite does not seem to have been affected though and continues to burn away.
As the divine energy is released, the wolf in front of Bradford howls in pain as smoke rises from several of it's open wounds. Bradford seems a little puzzled at this.
Bradford can make a Knowledge (religion) check. Eric heals 3 hp.
Olfwei, now sitting on the ground looks less than fearsome and misses his wild swing on Wolf.
Since we are in the same initiative group, does this damage simultaneously heal from Bradford's channel energy?[/ooc]
Although the actions are not truly simultaneous, I have no problem with the juggling of order within a group, even it is after an action is posted. One of the downsides of PBP, is that there is less opportunity to confer your actions with the other players.
