Birthright Betrayed (Inactive)

Game Master Helikon

Not yet, though I intend to on my go (my modifier is +7 and I have a Bit of Luck). I rolled 4 for Initiative, everyone over 6 can act... Maybe try to avoid hostilities this round?

@Bethamy You have no jurisdiction here. BUT.... if you manage to convince them to talk and hand them over to the city guards, well it is unlikely you will be prosecuted.

ok

Drelluandast sees Bethamy preparing to speak. Excited, the gnome trots up next to him and clears his own throat, ready to assist.

Readying to assist Bethamy's diplomacy check. Rolling now so I don't forget.

Diplomacy to Aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 (Success!)

I'm not very Diplomatic but I can try and aid on my turn

I don't mind a diplomatic approach, but it's probably something we should have talked about before they saw us, drew weapons, and we rolled for Initiative ;) Diplomacy checks usually take at least a minute of interaction, and they're not usually allowed once hostility starts.

As you look closer you can see that the leader is wearing a very special helm. A helm that matches the description you were given in the museum.

He will get a card ready in case there is trouble.

Hearing Arrius's call for the smugglers to surrender Bethamy hastily joins in "I say there, let's not do anything rash!" his mind races as he notices the helmet "I can't help but notice that you're wearing a very unique and valuable helmet there, one that I'm quite certain you were gifted by someone who's honesty is of much greater concern to the magistrates than your own? Probably you're just doing as you're told by men whose power you can't hope to contest with? We understand that, we have no desire to harm you or see you come to injustice. There needn't be any violence here today. Lower your weapons and come willingly, the magistrates will consider that favourably."

The archer replies."Kill them boys!"

"Oh, well there we go," Drelluandast says happily. "Surely nobody would fault us for self-defense!"

Tormond turns to Drelluandast. "No my good gnome. And at LAST I can use my claws and axe!"

What is the initiative ranking for this combat?

Pathfinder
Goons

Sorry, I'm confused--whose turn is it to go? Are we still finishing round 1?

I think that we are going first. Helikon has that information in the post right above yours.

Is the map up to date in terms of positions of people?

It is up to date with the goons.
Everything was prefight banter.

ok.

I'll stay stay where I am until something happens.

I'll wait to attack

I really didn't want to get in a fight. I'll ready to heal people.

The magus will move up and ready to throw a card if the other group attacks.

The archer shoots at the Remy Lebeau.
Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 151d8 ⇒ 5 Remy takes 6 damage.
The others delay and wait till you come closer.
Pathfinders

Seeing the smugglers open fire on his fellow Pathfinder, Arrius darts up to the nearest foe and begins a series of carefully coordinated attacks.

------------------------
Five-foot step, then flurry of blows.

First Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Second Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Now the dice have turned against me :)

Dat wasn't nice, homme the magus says as he charges his card with acid and throws it at the archer.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 ranged

and then he tries to close the distance while taking cover behind a crate.

"Damn it."
Mohag moves up and uses Bit of Luck (2/6) on Tormond.

Tormond fires his bow at the nearest smuggler.

"Thanks my friend for the aid" he says to Mohag.

rolling twice for bit of luck

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Nice hit

Unfortunately neither Arrius nor Remy manage to connect.
The smugglers attack them in return.
Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 4
Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 71d6 ⇒ 4 But they fail to connect.

Drelluandast trots up to the edge of the canal. "Look out below!" he yells before chanting a quick nonsensical phrase. With a flick of his wrist, a green goes flying from his hand towards the closest smuggler.

Casting acid splash. Taking a penalty for shooting into melee - GM will have to decide if there is cover from this angle.

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 4 = 1
Acid damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

The magus will pop up again to shoot an acid card at the archer who shot him
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
1d2 ⇒ 2 card
1d3 ⇒ 2 acid

Arrius continues hand-to-hand combat.
--------------------------
I'm guessing it's my turn again. Flurry of blows. This battle's taking forever!

Attack # 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Attack # 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Damage # 1: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Damage # 2: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Tormond will shift into bear form and move over to the bad guys.

"Surrender..rahhh he snarrls.

acrobatics if needed: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

How did you get a skinwalker character? That seems neat!

Mohag goes on Total Defense. Not really anything important for him to do now.
I forgot to get a Wand of CLW... that is a priority.

The leader of the gang is hit a glancing, but burning blow, and Remy does manage to hit one of the thugs.
But now it is their turn and with a whistle the archer brings his pet to attack.
A hippotamus rises behind the cardthrower and bits Arrius.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Then Carlo attacks Arrius himself and steps back.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Then Dalan thrusts his rapier into Arrius and steps back to give their boss a clear shot jumping on the beach.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
The Archer in the back happily complies
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Robin delays.
Pathfinders.

is it a real hippo or a summoned animal?

Badly wounded by the smugglers' swordplay, Arrius is forced to retreat to the far side of the bridge.

Total Defense and Move action

Arrius, you have Deflect Arrows.

Seeing the creature in the water, Drelluandast has an idea! "Hold on Remy!" he yells as he trots as fast as his short legs will carry him. Calling on his training at the Acadamae, he hastily throws his magic at the water and moments later a heavenly dolphin appears!

Fortitude vs DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 (Success!)

Drelluandast uses his Acadamae Graduate feat to summon as a standard action, then succeeds at the Fortitude save to avoid fatigue.

It seems quite real. Some saw something in the water before

Splashing gracefully into the water, the dolphin rams the hippo with its snout.

Slam: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Bludgeoning damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Assuming the hippo is not evil - otherwise, the dolphin deals an additional 2 damage.

Duration: 1/2 rounds

Annoyed at the fact that a hippo has arrived to the battle, the magus take a 5' step away from the creature, and motions his hand as two eldritch bolts in the shape of cards emerge from his hand, striking the foe on his right
2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10 magic missile

Tanks for the distraction, Drell he says over his shoulder.

Not a bad hit with that magic missile

Tormond swings at the guy with the rapier.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Mohag will give up Protection from Evil to heal Arrius.
@Arrius - did you want to use Deflect Arrows on the last hit you took?
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

We are not doing too bad now :)

Mohag will give up Protection from Evil to heal Arrius.

@Arrius - did you want to use Deflect Arrows on the last hit you took?
[dice=CLW]1d8+1

Thanks for the healing Mohag. Re: arrow, my rule is not to take a retroactive benefit if it was my own fault for overlooking something like that. Sometimes a lucky one gets through!

Th hippo and Tormund manage to connect but not enough to bring them down
Carlo 10 damage
Dalan 12 damage
HYPATRIA 5 damage
GAYLEIGH 4 damage
Dalan attacks Tormund
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Then Gayleigh attacks Remy
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Seeing their opportunity
Robin moves forward and attacks Tormund
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 231d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
and Carlo moves forward and attacks Remy
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Hypatria attacks the dolphin
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Confirmation for the threat on Tormund
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
