Jeras flies closer to the hobgoblin to help Flora and tries to stab him.

+3 dagger adamantine-insight bonus: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 3 = 38
damage: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

The Exchange

Not sure if crowd is currently friendly or helpful towards us, if helpful add another one to the die roll (and 5! to the DC). Either way it looks like the crowd will be friendly when Mal flubbed his attack

performance,friendly? crowd: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16

Mal tries to recover his composure, but a combination of the effects that his potent brew has on his normal innate stoicism and Gomwai's managing to get past him clearly has flustered.

Witch's Winter Holiday

When Daathiel says "Jump!", Flora's body instinctively jerks in response. But her attacker's arms adjust with supernatural speed to keep her held tight. From her uncomfortably-close vantage point, the halfling sees the hobgoblin barely flinch as Jeras's knife cuts into his shoulder.

Yeah, this guy has a stupid-high CMD that he's boosting even higher with shenanigans. Also, @Jeras, first blood means a Performance check!

Flora's hand brushes against one of the wands at her side and she grabs it speaking a command word. Her small form is covered in a layer of slick grease.

Flora's CMD vs grapple is now 22 + 1 (haste) + 3 (naturalist) + 10 (grease) = 36.


Witch's Winter Holiday

While Flora makes herself harder to hold onto, Gomwai's companions rush after their leader. One manages to slip past the reach of Mal's long arms, but the other two both steel themselves for retaliation as they form a line next to the hobgoblin.

@Mal - Blue and Green both provoked due to leaving a threatened square. Go ahead and include your AoO's (if any) in your next post.

To clarify, these three (Blue, Yellow, Green) are not hobgoblins.

Mal acrobatically spins forward with a kick into a flank with Jeras, but the target is actually the one in green . Jeras is about to make that yellow tabbard man dead anyways.

Mal continues with a onslaught of blindingly fast attacks.
FoB1, green, heroism,mutagen, divine favor (crit 19-20): 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 33 Damage,mutagen,Divine favor: 1d8 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 20

if green falls redirect onto blue, also that would mean panache back, so +5 damage, and if that happens, I would use menacing swordplay on blue to intimidate him as a swift action.
intimidate, heroism: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13

As green falls Mal grins menacingly at the one in blue.
crane wing up, so plus 4 ac against melee, unless an attack is within 4 of the higher ac, which would trigger crane riposte.


Witch's Winter Holiday

Mal's jabs all strike home, but both warriors remain on their feet (though the one in the green tunic seems to be sway slightly on her feet before snapping back to her senses).

No unconsciousness, so no panache regained or intimidation this round.

Daathiel delays; I really want to give Jeras a flank, but Red goes before him and might move away.


Witch's Winter Holiday

Daathiel hesitates, but Gomwai does not! He releases the slick Flora from his grasp, then suddenly lashes out with a foot...

Red Trip vs Flora CMD 26: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33

...and knocks the halfling flat onto her back! The hobgoblin unleashes a flurry of blows and kicks even faster than Mal can manage...

Non-lethal Bludgeoning damage: 2d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 + (6) = 18

...and just when the Pathfinders think he's through, he stomps down one more time...

Red Unarmed Strike vs Flora AC 33: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
Non-lethal Bludgeoning damage: 2d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 4 + (6) = 21

...leaving the halfling battered and bruised before stepping underneath the floating Jevas.

Oh bother - Combat Performance rules apply to them too. Not going to bother adding the bonus to his rolls, nor with last round's Performance check for successful combat maneuver. But he will roll for the successful trip this round:
Combat Performance vs DC 19: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20

The crowd roars its adoration for Gomwai's martial skill. From the Emissary's platform, Kiang Zhen smirks and murmurs something in the Emissary's ear.

Perception DC 40:
"...with no magic. Imagine what they could do with all those dishonorable Pathfinder tricks..."

Dropping the wand, she calls on her internal buffer to help eat some of the burn that washes over her as she makes a powerful attack.

From the ground, an dagger like a wooden stake covered in ice appears in her hand. She stabs at the hobgoblin 3 times.

[damage is half piercing, half cold)


Witch's Winter Holiday

Hah! We can't really argue with dice rolls like that!

Frozen blood coats the sandy floor of the arena as the hobgoblin slowly falls, a look of shock and terror on his petrified face. Gomwai hits the ground, and the crowd falls speechless for a brief second as a massive crack opens across his frozen torso where Flora's wintery blade lies imbedded.

That would be an opportunity for a Combat Performance check from Flora!

Insight bonus does not apply against these guys. It is specific to one creature type at a time.

But Daathiel will now start giving advice on how best to fight humans.

"Go left! Feint high! Just like that, you're doing great!"
Move action to switch performance, and standard for Total Defense.


Witch's Winter Holiday

Fortunately, the insight bonus didn't make a difference in Jeras hitting Yellow's AC. Unfortunately, Jeras would have to be directly across from Mal to be flanking Yellow, which means he would need to take a 5 ft step "down" at the start of his turn. This is unfortunate because the 4th attack took out Yellow, but Jeras can't take another 5 ft step to get another target within reach for the haste attack.

But that does mean that Jeras can make a Performance Check for downing an opponent!

As another of their comrades falls with several knife-sized holes in her back, the last two warriors duck around Mal to put Daathiel in a pincer! They swing their sansetsukons in deadly arcs...

Witch's Winter Holiday

Hah! Not going to bother totaling all that up, but let's just say that only one of those attacks missed.

As the last of Gomwai's warriors fall to the arena floor in a bloody heap, the Grand Pavilion erupts in a cacophony of cheers and exploding firecrackers. With a smile, the Emissary steps forward on his platform. Marthysan and Kiang Zhen join him, the half-elf beaming with joy at the Pathfinders' victory.

GM Screen:
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
1d10 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Suddenly, a clash of thunder bursts overhead in the otherwise clear and cloudless sky. The joyous sounds of celebration cease momentarily as the stunned observers and officials alike look around for the source of the sound. An uneasy hush falls over the masses.

This happens literally the next round, written in.

Suddenly, one of the attendants on Gomwai's side of the arena begins drawing mystical symbols in the air! As her neighbors scatter, translucent bars of force (dashed blue box) begin to form around the Pathfinders!

Spellcraft DC 30:
She's casting forcecage!

Daathiel Reflex: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
Flora Reflex: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
Jeras Reflex: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32
Mal Reflex: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (6) + 29 = 35

Still on edge from the battle, the agents all jump out of the way as the bars join together into a massive cube. Laughing, the woman floats easily into the sky. On the opposite side, another attendant steps forward and cracks her stony knuckles. "The Ruby Phoenix Tournament is over!" she bellows. "We will start with destroying your precious champions - and then this entire phony circus!"

Sorry, not enough time to make actual tokens right now. Pictures coming later today. Also, Daathiel, your ring of blinking just wore off.

@Mal, charging unfortunately requires that "You must move to the closest space from which you can attack the opponent." With your reach, that puts you back 5 ft. Fortunately, that doesn't change your ability to provide flanking to Jeras.

Miss chance, 1 = Miss: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Blue Fortitude vs. DC 19: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Mal's fist solidly connects with the woman, but she only shakes her head at his attempt to stun her.

But that is first blood, so Mal has the opportunity to make a Combat Performance check!

Miss chance, 1 = Miss: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Jeras's dagger also cuts into the woman, but he doesn't draw as much blood as he would expect as the blade skitters off to the side of her displaced form. Flora takes aim at the other woman, but has to lean a bit too far to not hit Daathiel as he steps into her line of fire - and for perhaps for the first time in the entire tournament, the wooden spear crashes into the barrier protecting the audience!

Jeras unfortunately can't get sneak attack against a target with total concealment. And Flora only missed because of cover.

The women laugh in unison, the one on the ground pointing at Mal. "Back to the ground where you belong, worm!" she bellows, magic sparkling around her fingers...

Dispel check vs DC 21: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

...and Mal suddenly finds his carpet falling beneath him! Still laughing, the woman sinks into the sandy ground as the priest hits the ground. Her companion floats back and up from Jeras and Mal and snaps her fingers. Dust billows as a cyclone suddenly forms, its winds buffeting Jeras in the air and Mal on the ground. "The sky is too dangerous for the likes of you," she gloats as she pulls out a bottle. "Now crawl!"

Daathiel casts Gallant Inspiration as an immediate action when Flora's spear appears about to miss.
Competence Bonus: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Daathiel was flying, and his last altitude change was Withdraw to fly up against the warriors. But I will be more explicit about his altitude in the future.

Daathiel moves forward and up, so he is at 20' height.
He draws his wand of Bestow Grace as he is moving, and activates it. Auto-pass the UMD.

The Exchange

Mal has see invisibility. Does he see red? If she wasn’t stunned I would have instead used my swift on menacing swordplay to intimidate. The crowd is helpful so I need the +4 bonus from 4 hits to make it worth trying.

Did you roll the d4 secretly for carpet?

@Daathiel - My understanding is that drawing a weapon as part of movement does not encompass wands (as they do not count as weapons like rods do). Could you find some documentation to clear that up for me?

@Mal - From your prone position, you had an excellent view of the woman in red descending into the ground. And the flying woman does not seem shaken in the slightest by your, uh, "swordplay".

Added Flora's damage into the tracker - nice work, Daathiel!

It has been very much table variation in my experience. If that is your ruling then Daathiel will draw and use the wand where he was. Moved him back.

Mal kips up, and picks up his carpet, before saying,” The woman in red went into the earth... No I didn’t fall off, I swear this carpet isn’t working! I only had one drink I’m not ‘seeing’ things

Perfect! Thanks Flora! Daathiel, I didn't see where you had your token previously, so go ahead and move it back into place.

No, just blurs the air slightly. It's a DC 15 Perception check to notice, but that's not really a problem for this party.

@Jeras, you can still hit and do damage, or Disarm/Sunder that potion that the spellcaster has taken out, or ready to disrupt a spell.
I will try to Dispel the Displacement when I can, but if she is capable of casting Forcecage, that is unlikely.
Even your base damage will add up on a primary caster.

Mal, are you OK with having to save against a fear effect? I think you'd only fail on a natural 1. I want to see if I can't split up the casters, but I don't think there is anywhere I can go in a single move (70 feet) that will put me in a position where I can target blue but not either you or Jeras in a 30 foot cone.

Flora moves ahead pulling out a wand from her belt as she goes. She levels it at the woman in blue and a wave of fear washes over her and Mal.

Jeras floats forward into the wall of wind, which buffets and knocks him around. The elf can't stay airborne in the storm and plummets to the ground like Mal! Above him, the woman's mocking laughter echoes through the arena.

Falling damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4) = 11

@Jeras - that was either a move action or a 5 ft step, so you still have at least a standard (and maybe a move) left this round.

@Flora - you can tell that with the woman's current height (35 ft above ground), you'd have to be literally directly underneath her to barely reach her with the 30 ft cone from the wand. As you'd be able to see that from your starting position, would you like to change any actions this round? My apologies for the confusion.

Jeras stands up carefully only to have to duck suddenly as Flora's spear comes tumbling out of the cyclone and whizzes past his head. Above the arena, the woman's mocking laughter continues. "For all your supposed prowess, you're full of nothing but hot air!" she taunts. "Here, have some more!" She makes a stirring motion with one hand and tosses a handful of sand into the cyclone with the other. The raging winds pulse angrily, and a blast of hot air washes over Daathiel, Flora, and Mal!

The three Pathfinders stand strong against the burning downdraft, but Flora and Daathiel still feel tired as their lungs lose their moisture. Daathiel and Flora are fatigued, and Daathiel takes half damage again due to blink. Mal takes no damage (and thus avoids the fatigue) due to Blessed Fortitude.

Mal looks at his carpet and tells it to go flat. my understanding is that once activated I direct it verbally, and since dispel magic only suppresses, it’d still be activated by me, but need a ruling on action economy, either way I’m trying my carpet, I need it back!

@Mal - I'll let you know when the carpet's back online, so go ahead and post as if it's not available until then.

@Flora - the only effects that can be dispelled on you are grease and haste. The blast of hot air (which I forgot to mark on the map), though, is another matter...

Also, forgot that the column of hot air sticks around for a while. It's on the map now as the pink spread.
