Game Master brvheart

Apparently, Hegwig grabs some valuables from the thieve attempting to distract and lead them into a ambush

Autumn Attack:
Ranged (Frost) light crossbow +2 (1d8/19-20); w/Cold Steel)

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d6 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + (3) = 5

Roll to Confirm Critical

Confirm Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d8 ⇒ 5

Alrighty

Paletress, as she steps forward (As her surprise action) turns to Autumn and grumbles so only she can hear while nodding at the horses:

"Heheheh...Hey owl lady, Can your bird herd?"

?????

init Caan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
init bandits: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Initiative Order Round One
Paletress
Caan
Autumn
bandits
Seamus
Sparhawk

Paletress double-moves up to the first one, cackling madly but otherwise not able to do much else.

Caan trudges slowly through the snow towards the threat.

Move, then double move.

Attack Frosted Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d6 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + (7) = 8

Move into position and fire at the rogue as Hegwig withdraws 40ft fly speed.

(this action will be repeated until they get within 10 feet at which time i will withdraw)

The bandit on Paletress pulls a sword and swings at her:
short sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Another fires at Autumn
shortbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

The third moves to his horse and gets on it attempting to flee.

Seamus and Sparhawk are up and then top of round two

seeing one bandic move to the south on foot and the other run for the horses, Seamus calls out "Hey they are trying to escape? We can't question them if they leave!" realizing he may shoot his friends if he aims for the bandit near the horses, he chooses to aim at the one who fired upon Autumn, pulling the cord back till he hears it click he quickly places a quarrel into the groove and bringing the crossbow to bear on the bandit, fires.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 for damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Soon as Paletress' turn comes up:

Paletress slaps aside the feeble slice of her foe's sword with a crazed giggle. Following through with her movement, she plants her weight and swings...

Longsword (No Power Attack): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Awesome damage roll completely negated by $%$^%#^#%^@ attack roll... IT TAUNTS ME, IT DOES!

Sparhawk hopes the bandit is not trained in horse combat, and aims for his horse instead, hoping to buck the rider out of the saddle.

attack: 1d20 ⇒ 19 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1
crit: 1d20 ⇒ 17 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

He them moves in to try and cut off the running one as far as he can.

No, he has no ranks in ride so when the horse bucks and runs he ends up prone on the ground. Of course the other two horses will bolt with it.

Cool. Was more concerned with him getting away

Caan clumps forward through the snow, his large toothy grin pointed at the bandit he now approaches.

Another double move, this time towards the second bandit.

Was aiming to have Autumn sic her owl on the horses and spook 'em to prevent the baddies from getting away. Glad to know I wasn't the only one with that idea.

So Paletress is attacking and Caan is moving, so Autumns turn then bandits?

Take a step over to find cover and get a clear shot Attack Crossbow (frost): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 122d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

Hegwig

Improved Steal; snatching Arrows From Bandits quivers; as many as possible then bombarding then other by dropping them on them as darts round later (range touch?): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d4 ⇒ 1

Autumn misses, Hegwig manages to steal an arrow. The one on the ground gets up and fires at Autumn
short bow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
The one on Paletress attacks:
short sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
The one near Caan moves up and attacks him
short sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Seamus and Sparhawk are up.

no clear shot from here, need to move so I don't hit anyone Seamus realizing he does not have a clear shot shifts to his left into the deep snot, loading his crossbow, taking the time to blow on his fingers, hoping to return the feeling to the fingertips.

fifteen ft, move, loads crossbow

Sparhawk then Initiative Order Round Three
Paletress
Caan
Autumn
bandits
Seamus
Sparhawk

Caan leers at the bandit, swinging his greataxe with abandon.

Greataxe attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 141d12 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

On Paletress' turn

Paletress looks at the bandit engaging Caan, then at the one she is locked with, and her laughter rises in pitch as she moves the five feet over to stand directly between the two bandits. Possible AOO from first bandit?

Now in position, she swings on her original target again, using the numbers of her enemies against them.

Longsword attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 91d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

insert long string of cursewords here

AOO short sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The snow is unbalancing as Paletress steps through it, a situation exacerbated by a flowing move to avoid another flailing stroke from the bandit, and her sword swings wide.

Sparhawk will fire at the rear bandit
bow: 1d20 ⇒ 6 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Caan follows along with the momentum of his last swing, the large bladed head acting as a counterweight before he strikes again from the bandit's flank.

Another AoO then?

Greataxe attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 61d12 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

not sure how close I got to the fleeing bandit but will use move action to try to cut off retreat, pulling out sword and shield.

"Throw down your weapons and surrender! No need to die today!"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Hegwig: Draws another arrow from the current guy or dagger with Improved Steal From Bandits quivers; Flys to the other guy and drops it as a bombard attack.

Improved Steal (Draw a arrow): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 missed and therefore can not move away

Attack from Above (Ranged Thrown): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d4 ⇒ 4

Autumn (another semi-Magic Missile)

Attack Crossbow (frost): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + (6) = 14

Bandit attacks Caan
short short: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Bandit shoots at Caan
short bow: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 12 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

AOO on Caan
short short: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

They miss Caan three times! Seamus and Sparhawk are up then top of round four. Caan, you have gone already.

Sparhawk moves in to attack the nearest bandit.

I think I am on the opposite side of where I intended to move. Was trying for two rounds to head off the runner but am on the opposite side of map from him. If its fixed and I am in range I will attack, or if I can hit another one

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

after loading his crossbow, seeing Paletress dispose of one thief and that Caan has the second well in hand, and that they are ignoring Sparhawks offer to surrender, Seamus moves forward and brings his crossbow to bear at the one who had attempted to escape pitty about the horses and fires the crossbow at the bandit.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 for damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

I am not sure where you were planning on moving Sparhawk. I don't believe I moved you. You had a clear shot until Caan moved in your way. firing at the other one is firing into combat so it misses. Seamus shoots and puts down the far one.

I don't recall dropping the other bandit... I haven't rolled over 10 on my attack rolls this combat. Oh well, gonna knock down the one on Caan anyway.

Paletress rounds on the bandit engaged with Caan, howling with insane laughter as her sword lashes out...

Longsword: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 211d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

...and gives a hearty longsword tickle to the bandit's spine.

You didn't Caan did I believe. Looks like you hit now!

All bandits dying or dead. XP=80 each.

Sparhawk motions to Caan, "Lets try to stabilize one enough to talk."

While those with medical skills attempt the help the injured bandit, Seamus, checks on their horse quickly, then checking the other bandits for anything valuable and inspects their camp for the treasure they were arguing over.

Paletress romps over to the place where the bandits' horses were previously kept before they were encouraged to depart with a bolt to the butt.

Survival for Track: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"Heh heh! how keen are we on these horses? They might heh heh lead us back to their other friends... and the wretched pustules what ride on 'em. HA!"

Sorry, on my tablet so looking up treasure will have to wait.

3 +4 elven chain clown suits, 2 vorpal butterknives, and the deed to Hidden Valley Ranch...

padded armor, buckler, short sword, shortbow with 19 arrows, 8 gp, 5 sp each so x3. Their horses bolted.

After gathering the gear from the dead bandits, Seamus asks, "Is this a good place to set up the tent, once it's up we may be able to start a fire." He then begins to unload the horse and set the tent up.

Caan shrugs at Sparhawk, unhelpfully. "Groetus has given me all the help he sees fit to today. I suppose I could try some pressure on the wound..."

Heal the dying bandit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Caan sits back, grinning. "Haha! All better... Well, sort of."

Funny thing, Caan can't stabilize. I figured we'd never need to. Whoops!

Survival in Snow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

I already deleted the bandits so I don't know how far they were below 0. Presume they were dead as you cannot heal them anyway. What is everyone doing?

Paletress' previous survival check was to track the horses on the basis that they would return to their point of origin / other bandits. if the others are seeking to camp out in this little clearing tho...

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 thinking up other ways to mitigate the cold / spotting a workable site.

"I think we lost him, guys." A sad Caan gets up and helps the rest of the group assemble the tent: eager for a reprieve from the cold.
