randall793's Three Days to Kill

Game Master randall793

@Dieredon - yep, it's -20 so I'll modify that in. Waiting for Rianna till tonight.

My apologies, am sick and haven't been checking the internet lately.

Rianna casts daze on Axeman 1 and then drops prone hoping to gain some cover from the crossbowman from behind the log.

daze = Will DC 14

The crossbowman (AC4) manages a look of surprise as his neck seemingly sprouts an arrow shaft. He collapses, gurgling. @Dieredon. With a cumulative -4 to stealth roll, you're visible to all.

Rianna, Axeman 1 is already down. Changing your target to Guardsman 4. Will save 1d20 ⇒ 8 Fail!.

As the clubman (AJ9) raises his club to strike, Rianna's spell brings a blank stare as tries to remember some forgotten errand.

Clubmen

G6 moves to AK10 and flanks Skane before attacking.
G6 attack Skane 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
The hit bounces off Skane's armoured coat, ineffective.

G1 stays put as he too flank attacks Skane.
G1 attack Skane 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
Skane manages to block the drive with his shield effectively.

G7 spots the skulking elf and he closes to engage.
G7 moves to AI0 and attacks Dieredon. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Dieredon catches the blow full on as it it knocks the breath out of him.

Axeman

The lone axeman charges up to Bjorn hoping to end his sorry life.
Charges to AJ10. Attacks Bjorn 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7
But he fumbles and misses entirely.

Skane to act. Bjorn to choose target of attack. ===MAP===

His beard now streaked with crimson Skane continues to use his shield to great effect despite the biting pain in his axe shoulder still fighting defensively

Snarling at his now two opponents he presses forth an attack on his original opponent (Guardsman 1) ; O' veikburða suður- froða! Við stríðsmaður Norður- það að vera sonur vilja sýning þú rauður dauði í öxi eða orf!:

Battle Axe: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 = 15

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Surrounded by enemies, Bjorn lets out a roar in thanks and honor of the ursine spirits, to whom he has pledged himself, for the bounty they are providing unto him.

His basso voice rumbles out a joyful warsong, the sound of his scythe slicing the air as he swings towards an injured foe keeping musical accompaniment to his exuberant praise.

'Langt burt a kyndill var lit og nú það hefur til a á af logi

Svo mjög kuldi ert þessir slóð af norður þessi við munu herganga söngur áfram

Óttalaus við þjóta á þinn blað, Þangað til dauði eða sigur og frægð

Láta okkar sálmur vera sang á the landslag af slátra af maður!'*

Scythe attack on a wounded opponent in reach: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 = 12

Skane directs his attack on his previous attacker, who anticipated this attack and easily avoids it.

Bjorn scythe bites easily into the dazed clubman, leaving just barely standing, shaken out from his reverie. Bjorn crumbles down, exerted from his grievious wounds.

Round 16 ===M A P===

From the darkness emerges two (three?) figures, who could tip the battle either way..

Leader moves to AE14, attacks Rianna
attack 1d20 + 6 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 4 - 4 = 3 prone, in melee
The leader moves and fire an arrow in a fluid motion, however misses as he overshoots the prone gypsy.

G3 loads calmly and sights Skane through the melee.
attack 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 4 = 13 in melee, defensive fighting
Again the riddled shield catches a bolt meant for Skane's hairy hide.

G5 spots the prone gypsy and shoots after a moment reloading.
attack 1d20 + 5 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 4 - 4 = 0 prone, in melee
Rianna though prone almost gets hit by bolt in her rump, being the most exposed area of her body.

Wesh, Dieredon, Rianna to act

Round 16, HP: 1/11, No Effects

Dieredon steps back five feet to AK0, drops his bow and chugs his potion of cure light wounds.

Heal: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

NICE!

@Dieredon luckily a cleric brewed that potion...;)

Wesh moves with a 5 foot step to An1 and casts a blessign of Desna to make the warriors hit in battle as tstrligh slowly giudes the weapons into hitting. Wesh then drops his crossbow and get out his morning star to cahrge on the next round.

+1 on attack rolls for 1 minute

@GM: Seriously - Go Pharasma!!! Now we just need the dice roller to continue to be kind in melee so we can survive this encounter! Love the challenge though...;-)

@DM: Just realised that I'd meant to also have Skane take a 5 foot step at the end of the round to AM9. Realise this is a little late, if it can be retconned great, if not I'll take my lumps as they come this round. Cheers

@Skane, sure.

@Skane, sure.

Cheers man. Although think my trusty shield will probably fall apart this round if I survive!

Do that voodoo that you do, Rianna!

Rianna in all her wisdom notices that Bjorn is down and Skane is not far behind. She begins to sing. Trying to take up the song of the Northman. Hoping to keep the clubmen from noticing Skane. You guys will have to help me with the words as I don't really know the song you were singing.

Rianna is trying to use her "Disappearing Act", Bardic ability. This allows her to try to make all foes within 30' treat any one ally as if he were invisible. Will save, DC 14. If this works, all foes within 30' of Rianna will treat Skane as if he went invisible. Of course it also means that Rianna might not live to see if it worked. ;)

Dieredon steps back and chugs down a potion, revitalizing him.

Wesh calls down the favor of the goddess, before steeling himself for melee.

Rianna sings prone, diverting attention to herself with the act.
How effective it is remains to be seen..

Clubmen

One of the clubmen decides he's had enough and withdraws, only to collapse at the end of his weary retreat.

G1 and G6 partner up, trying to surround Skane and ignoring Rianna.

G1 5ft step AN9, attacks Skane.
attack 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20
His battered shield holding up, it deflects another well aimed strike.

G6 5ft step AL9, attacks Skane
attack 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20
Working overtime, Skane counters each strke with a whirl of his shield.

Axeman charges Rianna, AL10
attack 1d20 + 2 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 4 + 4 = 17 charge,prone
Oblivious to Skane's presence, the axeman bellows and charges towards the prone gypsy. His greataxe sickeningly bites a chunk out of her.
damage 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Brambleknight and Skane to act. Don't forget the bless.

The BrambleKnight comes barking and snarling up the road. Seeing the bandit ahead reloading a crossbow, the pair rattle ahead faster as 'Nettle' is lowered into the charge.

"You hurt Ash you Roisto*"

Charge to AD-5 with 10' reach->1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 14
Damage with Lance x2 during charge >1d10 + 4 + 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (5) + 4 = 15

Hope that helps!

Hearing his brother's battle hymn, a battered and bloody Skane smiles a wild grin and takes up the song:

Á mjaðurt af blóð og vatnsbakki af eldur okkar sálmur , Að eilífu öflugur , alltaf glaðvær a andi aldrei til vera troðningur , Jafnvel the öflugur mannskapur vilja einn dagur bylta en the hugprýði sig vilja aldrei skýrast smám saman , sögufrægur orð , í fagur strengdur , okkar sálmur vilja fara alltaf á

Forgoing his defensive stance he bellows the words loudly, spraying blood and spit as he does:

Not sure if I get an AoO on the charging Axeman attacking Rianna? If I do here's the resolution:

As he sings the big Northman presses home an attack on the bandit in AN9:

Battle Axe: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

The Brambleknight charges out of the darkness, lance trained. However the crossbowmen dodges as the last moment.

Skane emerges from behind his shield and strikes out with his axe, hitting air as the clubman moves out of the way.

Round 17 ===MAP===

Leader moves to AK15 and fires off an arrow to the Brambleknight.
attack 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 4 = 6
The leader prowls the perimeter of the brawl and fires a shot to Betony, which flies wide.

G5 drops his crossbow and draws his shortsword whilst shifting forward. Deftly he tries a jab at Betony.
attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
hit? 1d5 ⇒ 3
His jab draws blood as it slips between Betony's armor.

G3 reloads and again tries to pincushion Skane
attack 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 4 = 18
Skane's armor proves adequate for job as the bolt glances away.
No AoO for the axeman

Dieredon and Wesh to move

Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Round 17, HP: 11/11, No effects

Dierdon draws his Elven Curveblade slides to AJ0 and slashes into G7 to return the favor.

ECB Favored Enemy ATT: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23
ECB Favored Enemy DAM: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

Take that you sorry excuse for a human being!

@ Dieredon: Good work alfar!

Wesh not being fast enough in his scale mail to reach the fallen bjorn knows that must contiue to fight and tries to get a charge off to charge the down gaurds charges saying a small prayer to Desna along the way knowing he would need all the lucky he would get using his morningstar twohanded as he did not have time to don his shield and swings his hardest to take down the guardsmen to the north of skane.

charge to AL8+2 charging +1 from bless
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage two handed
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

For when my turn comes up.

Dieredon repays the clubman in full as he shifts, draws and strikes him in fluid motion. Weakened by the previous grenade attack, the clubman falls, breathing heavily.

Wesh unhesitatingly charges and strikes two handed with his morningstar, missing his intended target.

G1 shifts to AO8 and continues attempts to pummel Skane into submission.
attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Surely Skane's armor deserves a thorough cleaning as it disperses the impact of the clubman's blow without due harm.

G6 stays in his position as he turns his attention to Wesh and swings his club in a measured strike.
attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Caught out of position after the charge, the greatclub grazes Wesh.
damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The axeman moves into Skane's right flank and swing his greataxe mightily.
attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
The axeman snorts as the greataxe misses Skane by a near margin.

Skane, Brambleknight to act

Rund 17

"Gig's Jigs!" Betony curses as the lance tip misses. Her opponent steps up into their charge. She drops 'Nettle' and reaches for 'Razor-Leaf on her back. [b]"Distract him Thist, while I get the axe."

Thistledown bite attack ->1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8
Thistledown bite damage ->1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Thistledown trip attack on successful hit vs CMD ->1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 12

Betony axe attack ->1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18
Betony axe damage ->1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Thistledown does his best to engage and distract the bandit. Surprising agile on the lunging wolf, Betony pulls her axe free and swings a good downward blow.

Bruised and bleeding Skane is renewed by the arrival of his fellow guardsmen; Hagl vinur prestur! Velkominn til stríð veisla!

With a grim smile he hunkers back behind his battered shield; kissing its chipped edge and launches a vicious backhand swipe at the axeman who felled Rianna:

Attack Axeman 2

Battle Axe: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 20

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Skane takes a 5 foot step and moves to AL7 to stand beside Wesh.

Skane fights defensively and is again AC20 for the forthcoming round

Round 17

"Gig's Jigs!" Betony curses as the lance tip misses. Her opponent steps up into their charge. She drops 'Nettle' and reaches for 'Razor-Leaf"' on her back. "Distract him Thist, while I get the axe.

Thistledown bite attack ->1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10
Thistledown bite damage ->1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Thistledown trip attack on successful hit vs CMD ->1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 13

Betony axe attack ->1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23
Betony axe damage ->1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Thistledown does his best to engage and distract the bandit. Surprisingly agile on the lunging wolf, Betony pulls the axe free and brings it down in a hard swing.

Razorleaf finally tastes blood as it bites through the crossbowman's clavicle. Thistledown swats but is parried neatly in return. The crossbowman nurses his arm but seems eager for payback.

Skane's trick backhand catches the axeman unprepared as he raises his shield for the return barrage. Shaking his wounded arm, the axeman grips his greataxe in chopping blow.

Round 18===MAP===
Bless r16.

The leader fires off an arrow whilst advancing towards the melee. He shakes he head in frustration as the arrow glances off Wesh.
attack 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 4 = 4

G3 moves towards the melee and stows away his crossbow.

G5 ducks and thrusts upwards trying to catch Betony's throat.
attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
The knight's armor clangs as it stops the blow.

Dieredon and Wesh to move

Round 18, HP: 11/11, No Effects

Dieredon seeing his opportunity, charges the Leader by rushing to AJ10 with his Eleven Curveblade held high!

ECB Favored Enemy Charge ATT: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 20
ECB Favored Enemy DAM: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

Taste my Elven steel you bloody cur!

Wesh after missing the first attack knows he should not miss the second but wants the sheild to protect himself. he first takes another two handed swing at the guardsmen in front of him and then he suprisngly with a feet takes a step backwards and draws his shield outside of the reach of the enemy.

attack with moringstar still two handed
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

5 foot step back to Al7 then draw shield.

@GM: I am not sure it matters, but my ATT roll against the leader should have been a 21 due to Wesh's Bless spell. Sorry that I failed to include it.

Dieredon drops the bandit leader with one overhead chop of his blade after a quick run.

Wesh shows that priests aren't to be trifled with after laying the hurt on the opposing clubman.

G6, grievously hurt shifts forwards and strikes Wesh in a final attack of defiance.
attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
His forced attack withers him down as he collapses from exertion.

G1 bellows in rage seeing the leader bought down and furiously charges the guilty elf.
attack 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25 confirm? 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12
The greatclub lands perfectly on the tall elf, crumpling his armor.
damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

The axeman lifts his greataxe and tries to splinter Skane's skull.
attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Skane deflects the blow aside with his shield.

Brambleknight and Skane to act.

Skane smiles a bloody grin at the axeman;
Your friends fall like autumn leaves dog. Your dull hatchet cannot breach my shield... so let my axe open you to the winds!, then swings a hard and strong downward cut towards the axeman's neck:

No longer fighting defensively this forthcoming round

Battle Axe1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Round 18

"Let's finish this."

Thistledown bite attack ->1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7
Thistledown bite damage ->1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Thistledown trip attack on successful hit vs CMD ->1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 21

Betony axe attack ->1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 = 21
Betony axe damage ->1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Again Thistledown snaps and snarls attempting to distract the bandit, until 'RazorLeaf' gains his full attention.

If that drops him, they will move up to AF 12 to worry G3 and keep him from joining the fray around the fire. "Where do you think your going"

Dieredon falls unconscious to the ground, grievously wounded!

I believe that the crossbowmen are up, everyone else is down and out!

Round 19 ===MAP===

The light of the brazier highlights bodies lying everywhere. Moaning and deep breathing could be heard from the fallen as the sound of battle continues on.

Skane's cautious style of battle finally pays dividends as the body count rises around him. His axe tastes blood the second time as it lays open a ghastly wound. Looking almost as battered as his opponent, the axeman continues the fight.

The combined team effort of fey and wolf brings tthe opposition down and the Brambleknight forges ahead to engage her next target. Startled, the crossbowman draws his short sword and prepares to defend himself. He opens up with a backhanded slash, but this is easily dodged by the knight and her mount.

attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Rianna, Dieredon for stabilization. Wesh to act.

healing through channel
1d6

Woot! The bear is back... again!

Dieredon feels the waves of healing energy surge into his unconscious form, and he too barely opens his eyes!

Rianna continues to lie still, her body now no longer bleeding.

Wesh's calls forth a burst a wave of energy which washes over the battlefield. For some it soothes the pain of battle ready to begin anew.

G1 skips over the fallen bodies and swings his club at the wolf and her rider.
charge attack 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
His attack spectacularly fails though as he fumbles his grip.

G6 flutters his eyes open and gingerly rises to his feet. AoA from Wesh and Skane
Ungrateful at Wesh's healing surge, he lashes out to end him.
attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
He attack does not receive the blessings of his gods as it bounces off Wesh's shield.

The sole axeman riled at Skane's taunts redoubles his attacks and slogs on.
attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Which opens him to further jeers as his attacks continue to fail to breech Skane's defences.

Brambleknight, Bjorn, Skane act if you can and don't forget the AoAs!

Round 19

"I don't like the look of that bloody stick he's carrying Thist. Take him!" The Brambleknight shifts its attention to the newcomer (G1) hoping to take advantage of his stumbling approach.

Thistledown bite attack ->1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5
Thistledown bite damage ->1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Thistledown trip attack on successful hit vs CMD ->1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 25

Betony axe attack ->1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
Betony axe damage ->1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Bah! Crit on the attack that doesn't count. Doubt the 12 hits, but he was charging.

Buoyed by Wesh's healing energy, Skane shakes out his battered shield arm, then reacts violently as one of the guardsmen rise in addition to his fellow guards: "Back to the boneyard with you úrþvætti!"

AoO on Guardsman 6: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26

Critical Confirm: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7 dammit!

Battle Axe Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Blood-drunk he grimly turns his attention back to his axeman foe...

"I tire of this. My axe is thirsty - let it sup of your lifeblood cur!"

Battle Axe Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Wesh seeing teh gaurdsmen get back up after his healing returns his attacks against him with his morningstart with a swift swing.

attack of oppurtunity
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
damage
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Will need to wait until I get home to see the map before I know what to do.

Round 20
Wesh misjudges his strike and it goes wide but Skane makes up by putting down the rising clubman (AL8) and follows through, striking the axeman (AN7) down.

The remaining crossbowman, sensing the tide is against him turns tail and flees. Withdrawing East

Dieredon, Wesh to act. Just 1 clubbie left. Not putting a map for this round.

Round 20
Status

Dieredon, while lying prone and still severely wounded, thrusts his Elven Curveblade into the belly of G1 to end the foe's existence!

ECB Favored Enemy Prone ATT: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 18
ECB Favored Enemy DAM: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

@DM: If G1 falls, then Dieredon will stand as his move action. If not, then he will remain prone giving G1 a -4 on his next attack roll.

@Bjorn: Sorry if I stole your kill...:-)
