It continues to claw away at Kentaur.

REF save is half damage for flaming sphere :D

Read your spell again, reflex negates.

I took the fire user alternate race trait; my spells always at worst are save for 1/2 damage when they are fire based.

Wish my bluff skill was better! :D

Quinray is up

Wondering if he is wasting time using these arrows.

lb: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 + 1 + 2 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
firearrow: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
sneak: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

lb: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 2 + 1 + 2 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
firearrow: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
sneak: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 the tree thing partially avoids the arc of flame

Kieran and Ibram just miss. Quinray's first arrow hits again but only the fire damages the creature.

The thing turns to the source of the fire and attacks Tirnel!

Claw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Dam: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

Claw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Dam: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12

Claw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Ibram is now flanking the creature

pwrattk: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

-boooo!-

Kentaur will channel, excluding the treepulse: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

-16hp

-19HP

If it will get him out of the rending reach of the resilient rutabaga Tirnel will cast levitation out of his bonded item and move 20' up into the air. Otherwise he will cast magic missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10

In either case he continues to focus the ball of flame on the tree for a third round flaming sphere: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 2) = 10 DC18 REF

Never thought being a lumberjack would be this tough...

falchion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 212d4 + 7 ⇒ (3, 2) + 7 = 12

Levitate would not do you any good, the creature is 20' tall with good reach.

reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Tirnel's magic missiles and flaming sphere, as well as the superior wood chopping skills of Kieran finish the creature off.

Ibram channels 4 times pulse: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4, 4) = 16

-3HP

Well done everyone.

Tirnel surveys the area.

~detect magic~
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

No magic detected, but Tirnel finds gems worth 550gp scattered about the clearing.

Kieran looks at the group-This is probably a good place to rest your Grace. There shouldn't be any other significant predators about besides this tree.

He sets about setting up camp and making a fire.

perception on watch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

-3HP

I'll take a little more healing before we rest.

~casts mage armor prior to his watch so he can memorize it for the next day~

perception on watch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Quinray is ready to take any of the watches.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

Heal Tirnel up...

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

night: 1d20 ⇒ 10

The night is quiet.

Good thing the night was quiet with that grouping of rockstar perception rolls...

As is his habit, Kieran wakes early and prepares for the day's march; making some grain potage for breakfast and then quenching the fire.

Here we go my Lords, rise and shine. Sarenrae is on the move and so must we be.

He leads the party South hoping to find some sign of the marauder's trail. Walk with me Quinray, I can use your keen eyes up front. Hopefully we will not find cause for our bows to sing together this day.

survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

These woods are quite lovely. I wonder if any of my kin still dwell in them?

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

~Maybe I'll find some Fangberries~, Kentaur thinks to himself.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

After a few hours headed south, Kieran finds evidence that the marauders turned sharply to the west and after heading west for about an hour, after following the path through the forest for about 30 minutes, the party can see a clearing up ahead.

Quinray, let's move ahead. You look for traps, I'll look for foes.

Kieran advances towards the clearing, bow ready, straining his senses to discover any danger.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

~casts mage armor~

Well at least we are above ground this time...

Tirnel advances behind Kieran and Quinray

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

perceptiontraps: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

Need stealth rolls for anyone moving forward towards the clearing.

Does Kieran really want to move forward?
I've got Kieran at -2 Stealth, (-6 Armor, +4 Dex).

stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Need stealth rolls for anyone moving forward towards the clearing.

Does Kieran really want to move forward?
I've got Kieran at -2 Stealth, (-6 Armor, +4 Dex).

Well clearly since I'm being strenuously encouraged not to move forward I will certainly stand fast. However, just reading the post not sure why my action is not relatively logical.

"After a few hours headed south, Kieran finds evidence that the marauders turned sharply to the west and after heading west for about an hour, after following the path through the forest for about 30 minutes, the party can see a clearing up ahead."

Why on earth would Kieran be afraid of 'a clearing up ahead'?

Advancing towards the clearing would seem like a reasonable next step.

Finally, my armor penalty is only -4 (+1 for MW armor; +1 for armor training)

~retcon~
Kieran pulls up short of the clearing, a sudden feeling of danger ahead washing over him. On second thought Quinray, you sneak ahead and see what's up there. I'll cover you with my bow.

Then armor penalty is -5, gave you +1 for MW. You are free to move forward with Q. I am not encouraging you one way or the other j ust pointing out that I asked for a stealth roll and Kieran is not very stealthy, plus Q and T are very squishy by themselves.

Seeing Kieran pull up short Tirnel does as well.

If that tank of a man isn't going up there, no way I am. Desna with you Quinray...

It's Quinray time! :D

Kieran never even noticed "Lord" Quinray ghost past him.

Why does Kieran always think that he wakes up first?

In best Drax the Destroyer voice-Kieran always thinks he wakes up first because he does. He enjoys spending time standing over the others and mocking their pitiful dreams as they sleep. Clearly Kieran is the best at waking up early! Kieran sees 'Lord' Quinray try to sneak by; nothing escapes Kieran's observation. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

-I am in such awe of Kieran's early morningness, that I sometimes get up earlier than him just to see how early he wakes up! :)

I actually heard Drax say those words. We are all pitiful and weak in Kieran's presence. Nice!

-I am in such awe of Kieran's early morningness, that I sometimes get up earlier than him just to see how early he wakes up! :)

That's because Kieran has already woken and is now resting his eyes to allow you to feel the glory of what it is like to always be first risen. Kieran is the most beneficent at letting others pretend to his greatness!

** spoiler omitted **

Quinray returns back to the group. He gives his information of everything he saw and heard. Ogre hiding outside, most likely others inside. Quinray saw two large spears and large foot tracks trampling the clearing.

WhAt do we want to do?

~casts message on Quinray~

I like our chances at range, but if the fellow you described brings all of his friends to the fray I like our chances less. At 60' we should be able to get off one volley before he, or others, can reach us in melee.

Unless anyone else has a better idea, signal when you are ready Quinray.

Once/if Quinray makes it to a safe sniping position, Tirnel and the rest of the party will move up and fire on the guard ogre.

If he is somehow spotted the party will immediately move up and engage the guard at range.

Quinray knowing the perfect way to get to a great vantage point moves forward. If everyone agrees....

Fire arrows at out side ogre who must be completely defenseless because he is unaware and so stupid.

LB: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 = 24
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
sneak: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

LB: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 2 = 13
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3
sneak: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

Quinray needs to be within 30' to sneak attack. The cave entrance is 60' from the edge of the forest. If you are moving within 30' to make a sneak attack, gonna need stealth roll.
