Speak with Animals is an at-will racial SLA for atomies.

Gotcha.

Cindy urges the bear to scare the barbarian and the bear thinks this is a good idea. He bares his teeth and growls but it doesn't have much effect on the human warrior, who slashes at Bob again cursing the bear in frustration. Goldslip shoots the paralyzed barbarian point blank but the tough man continues breathing despite the crossbow bolt in his neck. Snowball bites him hard for good measure. Another barbarian spills out of the longhouse, runs in confusion around the bear, and strikes at Cindy. But the irritable and confused bear snaps at him as he rushes past.

Bob is struck hard (34 dam before DR) and so is Cindy! The doll is nearly shattered to pieces (32 dam before DR).

Cindy, the map says you are 15 ft off the ground but you'd have to be 5 ft up at most to be petting the bear so I'm working off that. The bear is ready to listen to what you say next. If it's a pretty common use of an animal companion, I'll treat it as if he/she knew the trick.

Everyone, GO!

Bob it all!

Bob swears as a good 50% of his protoplasm is stripped away in a single hit.

But Bob is too slow to run away, so it is kill or be killed.

acid on engulfed barb: 1d6 ⇒ 2

slam on closest barbarian: 1d20 ⇒ 14

damage if that hit: 1d4 - 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) - 3 + (2) = 0 1 bludgeon and 2 acid. DC20 fort or be paralyzed 3d6 rounds.

[hp: 29/82]

23->28hp

Snowball hears the sickening crunch of greatsword on animate porcelain and turns around. "Cindy?"

"BAD MAN!" Snowball shrieks.

She takes flight and, forgetting about the new allegiance of the bear, douses both barbarians and the bear with icy breath.
Breath Weapon (DC 16 reflex for 1 damage): 2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
Recharge: 1d4 ⇒ 4

The barbarian struck by Bob becomes paralyzed in shock!

What was that about a TPK? I didn't believe it for a minute.

Cindy floats backwards and up, entering the sphere of darkness, shaking from the effort of trying to hold her body together. As she heads out of range, she rages at the barbarians "I'm so sick of people not being nice! Mean to bears, mean to us, you stupid hairy men need to be taught a lesson" Her voice changes pitch as she continues "You will not be allowed to surrender. You have no choice left but to die. Your last thoughts will be of how much the claws, and the cold, and the burn hurt as you breathe your last!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
Met DC15 roll so all enemies within 30' roll vs DC13 will save or be panicked for 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9 rounds. Barb on left gets -2 to his roll due to Hypnotic Stare

Health: 27 damage after DR; 5 healed from fast healing; total 12/34

Mr. Snuggles, seeing his new friend get smacked and then hearing her say something about "claw" realizes she wants him to attack the bad men. He turns towards the one who ran past him and rears up.

Yay I get full attack too! No having to move

Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
..Bite Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
L Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
..L Claw Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 + grab
R Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
..R Claw Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 + grab

If claw hits, then roll for grapple: CMD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

"Oh, come on." Tina yells as the barbarian hacks at Bob. "Grr work, Bear. Grr them up"

Tina focuses her hate at the barbarians

Casting Reduce Person at the one who isn't inside Bob

After Bob's paralyzing strike, there is only one barbarian left fighting. But he refuses to be scared of Cindy or shrunk by Tina and the bear only manages one decent bite on him!

Goldslip still to go!

crossbow atk: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 4 = 3
crossbow dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Goldslip loads her crossbow and shoots it at the barbarian still standing, but the bolt doesn't even come close to hitting. She snarls in frustration.

The barbarian rages and curses as the bear bites him. "Stupid animal! I always said we should have eaten you and worn your hide!" He rears back with his sword and slashes down hard, laying the bear's shoulder and chest wide open. The bear collapses to the ground, bleeding massively (26 dam to bear).

Everyone, GO!

"Oh bear! Poor bear! Poor... tasty.... delicious....oozing... bear. ..."

Bob resists the pull of the blood though, and keeps trying to paralyze the barbarian while slowing digesting the one inside him.

acid digestion: 1d6 ⇒ 4

to hit barbarian: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Anyone want to coupe de grace the other one who is paralyzed?

didn't see Goldslip break her connection or form a new one, so I'll presume that Snowball got the benefit of life link last round:
28->33
Also, Snowball's own fast healing this round:
33->38 hp
makes her too healthy to receive healing from Goldslip xD
Recharge: 4->3

"BAD! No eat Cindy's bear! Snowball eat YOU!"
Snowball lands next to the barbarian that just knocked the bear out.

She snaps at him.
Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Crit Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Cindy howls when she sees her new pet fall down bleeding, and almost rushes in to the remaining barbarian. Something in the back of her mind remembers the hit she took and realizes she's not ready to take another...

She pauses a second to regain control, and then swoops down to grab the darkness pebble and moves in as close as she can, hoping the circle of gloom will help her friends kill the last disgusting hairy man.

HP: +5 from fast healing for 17/34

as opposed to making a separate post, I'll roll da bear's stability roll here
Stabilize: 1d20 + 1 - 11 ⇒ (20) + 1 - 11 = 10
YAY I needed a 20 to stabilize, and I got it! He's unconscious and at -11 HP

Tina looks at bear, and then up at the remaining barbarian. A droplet flies from her finger toward the barbarian's sword

Targeting Grease on the sword, DC 17 Reflex or drop it

Goldslip still to go. I'll PM her.

Goldslip feels the stream of life from her to Snowball peter out. She sees that Cindy is still in rough shape, and kindles a connection with her. Then she reloads her crossbow.

Life link is still active on Snowball, too, if she takes more damage.

Enraged, the barbarian swings hard at Snowball right next to him.

Swing: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Dam: 2d6 + 17 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 17 + (4, 2) = 32
Dam to self: 1d6 ⇒ 3

But he whiffs something fierce!

G0!

Cindy heals 5 hp from my life link. I take that damage and it washes out with my fast healing.

The nixie smiles as she once again points her loaded crossbow at the paralyzed barbarian at her feet.

Coup de Grace: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
If he survives the damage, then DC 17 Fortitude save to avoid dying anyway.

This time, the barbarian can't resist the crossbow bolt to the neck and bleeds out, dead.

Plenty more people still to go.

HP 38->full
Recharge: 3->2

Deftly dodging the blade, Snowball staps at the barbarian again.
Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"Eat eat eat." thinks Bob, outloud, as his protoplasm continues to heal itself.

acid damage to engulfed enemy: 1d6 ⇒ 5

But Bob tries a new strategy! He leaves the paralyzed barbarian behind as he oozes on top of the unparalyzed one!

Thanks to the moved pebble, the barbarian can't see Bob coming and is engulfed.

But he does manage to resist becoming paralyzed.

Yeah I probably won't rule in the future that enemies who can't see you coming automatically fail the save but for now it's really helping you out. Tina and Cindy still to go.

Seeing Bob move onto the last standing hairy man and leaving the other one lying on the ground still, Cindy swoops in with rage, brandishing her little dagger.
"Why did you hurt Mr. Snuggles! You guys hurt Mr. Snuggles!!"

coup de grace: 2d2 - 2 ⇒ (2, 2) - 2 = 2
I know it's not much damage, but it's what I think she'd do

Amazingly, Cindy's dagger finds the jugular of the barbarian and he dies with slow spurts of blood.

For the record, there is still one paralyzed barbarian lying around and shown on the map. Bob has paralyzed a lot of people today. Tina still to go.

Oh? I thought Goldslip finished off one too...

Amazingly, Cindy's dagger finds the jugular of the barbarian and he dies with slow spurts of blood.

Cindy's rage fades as she stares the man in the eyes and sees the light fade out of them. Almost in shock, she slowly looks from his face, to her dagger, back to his face, and then around at the group.

"whaaa??"

My notes say I accounted for that one and there was a third remaining.

wasn't the third one the guy Bob just ate? xD

There've been a lot more than three barbs out here and you guys are getting xp accordingly once you finish this.

And you are avenging me!

yay vengeance! Also, yay bad memory? xD

Skipping Tina.

The barbarian snarls in anger at the terrible situation he is in and, vowing vengeance, steps north and swings at Snowball.

The nasty blade connects, cutting the young dragon deeply and severely.

20 to hit for 25 dam. Everyone GO! Tina may go twice.

HP: 16->21
Recharge: 2->1
Snowball shrieks as the barbarian's blade smacks her into the wall.
"Rawr!" she replies, unintelligible, before snapping again.

Bite+flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Dont forget your claws!

not takin' that AoO. My claws don't have reach yet xD

Snowball, I double-checked my barb's attack bonus and I think it actually missed you unless you have an ac penalty right now.

Oh, off by one xD
In that case, I'm totally taking the AoO xD
Retcon: 20 to-hit, not 23. Snowball dodged xD
HP is actually at full unless the AoO lands xD

---slight retcon---
Snowball dodges under the Barbarian's blade, the edge just barely skidding across her hard, smooth scales.
"Rawr!" she squeaks, lunging recklessly at the barbarian.
Bite (as above, minus the flanking): 15 + 7 = 22
Damage!: 4 + 3 = 7

She attempts to dodge in very close, clawing at the one who would dare to harm Mr Snuggles.
Claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
CRIT?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Start full attack (bite happens!)
5' step into his square, provoking an AoO from entering the square.
then finish full-attack with two claw swipes

Tina silently flies through the darkness at the remaining barbarian, and channels her necrotic power into her hands, and launches an attack at the remaining barbarian.

Darkness gives me neak attack, right? and I just remembered that I've got a Smite Good waiting around that I haven't used yet today.
attack rd 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17 dang.
damage rd 1: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + (3) + 1 = 11
attack rd 2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36 what goes down, must come up.
attack rd 2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35 42 if he's Good.
damage rd 1: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + (3) + 1 = 10 So that's a 19 if it confirms, or a 22 if he's good.

oooh, I forgot about darkness. Is that barbarian too blind to take any AoOs?

I don't think you're in the darkness, snowball. And you can smite, Tina, but he's not good.

AoO: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Dam: 2d6 + 17 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 17 + (5, 6) = 35
Dam to Barb: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I didn't think so either, but if Tina can approach in darkness then so can I (we're both using attacks without even 5' reach) xD
I think Snowball eating the AoO is close enough, though xD
recharge 1
HP 6/41

Goldslip patiently loads her crossbow in preparation to kill the other paralyzed barbarian lying before her.

Taking 5 of Snowball's damage.

"Go on, Snowball, you can finish him!" she calls enthusiastically.
+2 to your next attack roll from Combat Advice.

Well there's darkness south of the barb and light north of him since he's right on the edge so Tina is approaching through darkness while Snowball is not.

Cindy and Bob still to go.

Out of all the fun stuff, and she's too scared to take on a standing one with her little dagger.

Cindy toddles over from the dead barbarian to Mr. Snuggles and squeezes in tightly, leaning against his neck.
"I don't know any heal stuff, but I know you're still in there. This red blood stuff is what helps keep people alive, so maybe it'll help you..."

She carefully wipes the blood off her dagger blade onto his fur while massaging his ear with her other hand.

"Go on, get that stuff inside you. It'll help"

Forgot to do HP last round. Goldslip (5) + fast heal: 17 + 10 = 27/34
This round: Goldslip (5) + fast heal (5): 27 + 10 = 34/34

The large beast, unconscious but no longer dying, grumbles confusedly in its sleep, as if it realized something very odd was going on.

unconscious but stabilized; -11 HP

Bob attacks from the darkness!

slam: 1d20 ⇒ 11

My sleepy brain is finally confirming what Bob said about the barbarian being pinned. To half make-up for my mistake, I'll skip the barbarian's turn this round getting out of Bob.

The barbarian struggles and pulls himself free from the gelatinous cube, ready to keep on fighting.

Everyone, GO!

recharge 1->0
HP: 6->11 (life link last round)
11->16

"GRAWR"
Snowballs wounds close about a third as quickly as they were opened, and she continues her onslaught as a shiny blur.
Bite+combat advice: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Tina fires a glob of grease underneath the barbarian's feet. "Get on our level. she yells the assailant, as she hovers over him.

DC 18 or fall prone
