Fenla senses no magic in either room, except the items and spells on the players. But this is not conclusive as the spell can be blocked by various materials
the green door dot, Brother Hawthorne can hear indistinct giant voices talking quietly.
1d10 ⇒ 1
hmm
1d4 ⇒ 3
Brother Hawthorne:
yellow dot door is quiet
I need everyone to place their tokens in position, as something is about to happen. Or not. :) Brother Hawthorne in at the orange dot door, so he is fixed for now.
Brother Hawthorne points towards the door, and then towards his ears while making a talking motion with his mouth. He looks expectantly to Vakmu for further instructions.

I haven't been looking in your spoiler boxes...
Brother Vakmu whispers to Fenla via her message spell: Relay to Brother Hawthorne please. First remember we can use Fenla's spell to whisper to her, and she can relay. Second what did you hear at each door? Specifically, the one at the end of the corridor as well (orange dot); I heard the noise in the one right at the start of the corridor (red splash) and it looks like you're telling me there's talking inside this one (green square).
You think right Brother
Again via relay through Fenla, "Low hanging fruit first, lets reap any sleepy heads in the room on the end, before we risk the alarm going up in the other 2 rooms. Check the door for traps Brother, and then slip it open. Rommin behind him to coup any sleepers. Then Wilrin, then myself. Fenla and Ungor wait at the corner.

I'm presuming the rear marching order is charger (Legs), archer (Rommin), caster (Fenla), rear guard (Ungor)….so I moved next to Fenla but think the other 2 should be ordered in front of her in order to keep the group in a tighter formation... and if not, then a huge squeezing bear will make his way to this spot and ask people to move. :)
I have put labels on the map where I am asking people to be. Everyone, of course, should try and stay a quiet as practical
@Fenla, I would recommend using stealth, in case someone comes out of those doors, they won't jump you right off.
@Wilrin grab some ceiling; this is presumably why you're on a giant spider, so you will have a charge lane if needed
For the record, Vakmu is using his usual take 10 for stealth technique
Stealth: take 10 +0 (ranks)+ 1(dex) -3 (acp) = 8

"Looks like we are changing from sleep patrol and we are getting this raiding party started on the fighting phase. Fenla, recommend you get behind me down the hallway."
Ungor casts Bull Strength upon himself as the surprise round action.
Fenla's eyes bulge as she muffles a gasp, at the sight of the three ogres bearing down on her. She mutters an incantation and suddenly a slimy greasy pile appears beneath the nearest ogres feet. Then she darts into the nearby room.
Casts Grease with an arcane pool point to increase DC by 2 -> DC 17
Seems like Jury online is hung on whether a large creature that is half into a spell range is affected or not. I'll let you make the call, if it affects both then I will cast it in the spot I put on the map, otherwise I will move it ahead to the lead ogre.
I'm not sure if Chill intends for the ogres to act in the surprise round or not. Either way it doesn't affect what Vakmu does...
Vakmu's head snaps up and around, hearing the ogre speak around the corner. Looking down the hall, he sees that Ungor precludes him being able to see what is going on... He waits, hoping that Ungor will move out of the way, so he can see what is going on.
I will rule the grease spell directly affects the leader only, for its initial effect
reflex:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Wha..[/b[ and he falls with a big thump. The other two waste their actions laughing at him
[b]Ha Ha, you fall down go boom
The lead ogre takes his action to stand up. Wobbling in the effect of the spell, he yells, I'm going to make a wish with that lawn ornament, then smash you guys!
Rommin also advances, watching the corner of the corridor for any sign of the ogres coming down.
Move action to the spot located on the map. Standard action: ready to attack first ogre that shows itself at the corner. To hit 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21, damage 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9.
Hearing Fenla's whisper through the message spell, and seeing his compatriots move, Vakmu moves to a position where he can use hexes to support his comrades in combat (move 10' south to in front of the green dot door, move action), and prepare to use his silkstring snare hex on the first enemy he sees (Ready to use Silkstring Snare, DC 19 reflex, on the first enemy that gets within 30' (the range of the hex), standard action ).
Silkstring Snare (Su):
The shaman causes ribbons of spider silk to erupt from the ground beneath a single creature. The target must succeed at a Reflex save or be entangled and anchored in place. The foe can escape the silk as a standard action with a successful Escape Artist or Strength check at the same DC, or by dealing an amount of damage to the silk equal to double the shaman’s class level (the silk has hardness 0). This hex lasts a number of rounds equal to 3 + the shaman’s Wisdom modifier. A creature affected by this hex cannot be affected by it again for 24 hours.
Sorry about your charge, Brother H, but Rommin had already blocked it...
PS Chill, don't forget we have a symbol of mirroring running on everyone but Hawthorne

Two of the ogres move up.
New round, everyone can act
@Chill did the other 2 need reflex saves to cross the grease? Just checking to know how many I'm fighting how quickly....but for now I do have a target that I will engage.

Ungor goes into a full attack on the lead Ogre coming into the corner. given reach rules, there isn't cover for me or the ogre. @chill let me know if you think there is an AOO as he gets that close.
I'v been waiting because a bunch of people are supposed to go before me ... I'll fill in my bit I guess. I'm after you init, and I'm guessing the first ogre is dead: 46 from you + Rommin's readied shot + Rommin actions this turn.
Vakmu's eyes widen, as the only ogre in sight goes down, skull crushed by Ungor's mighty paws. He hadn't really appreciated the sheer power of the bear until now. He presses himself up against the eastern wall the one without doors , and slips past Rommin without interfering with his archery. (move action)
He readies his magic again, to use his silkstring snare hex on the first enemy to advance into his line of sight - that should make the brute easy prey for the giant bear. (Ready to use Silkstring Snare, DC 19 reflex, on the first enemy that gets into his line of sight, standard action ).
The second ogre, not smart enough to avoid the death machine that is Ungor, steps up to hit him.
All readied actions go now, then he will act, assuming he is still standing Sure I'll do that...oh, all those guys too?

...
That's a DC 19 reflex save from Vakmu's Silkstring Snare hex (if he fails, he is entangled).
Unfortunately, we haven't heard from Wilrin in a long time, and Rommin in over a week. If we assume they both readied attacks,
Wilrin and Rommin Readied Attacks:
Rommin Readied Shot, To Hit:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Rommin Damage:1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
This is Rommin's historical attack routine.
With Wilrin I have to make more assumptions...Assuming using his Ripsaw Glaive, and he has spun it up...
Wilrin Readied Attack, To Hit:1d20 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 0 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 0 + 2 = 34
+7 bab +3 Str +1 magic weapon +1 small +1 higher ground (he's on the ceiling)-0 (no PA penalty on first attack due to furious focus)+2 Flanking w/ Ungor
Wilrin Damage:1d8 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 21
+1 Magic Weapon +4 Str (rounded down)+6 Power Attack+2 spinning ripsaw glaive
Rommin hugs close to the wall, keeping the way clear for others to move past him. With his bow raised, he waits with the patience of a hunter for the perfect shot.
Thanks for the bot, Vakmu. The site wasn't showing me new posts for the thread! You did capture his main routine; if these were more dangerous foes he might use his prescience as well.
if the first 2 attack hit and 48 damage is sufficient to kill him Ungor drops the ravenged ogre and taunts the last one. "Want to try to swing your big stick at me too?"
if he is still up, then Ungor will just maintain the grapple
I think that people have been delaying/readying actions to attack when an ogre shows up. As a result, I think we are off on the init order. I currently have us in the middle of a round as Ungor has attacked (and I suspect killed the second ogre).
Init Order
Rommin (28);readied and shot last round. Has not acted this round.
Brother H (15); held action last round. Has not acted this round
Ungor (14); just acted, ate ogre face
Vakmu (13); readied silkstring snare last round. Has not acted this round
Fenla (11) loaded crossbow last round. Has not acted this round
Wilrin (3); readied and smacked the ogre last round. Has not acted this round
Ogres (1); attacked Ungor and missed last round. Has not acted this round
"Fenla, relay please, I think the stealth approach just got boned given the roaring and smashing on walls the ogre has been doing... Watch the doors beside us people. Take this last ogre - Wilrin chase him down if he doesn't come to us... Then I think we are in thunder run mode"
Vakmu can see that Ungor and company have the ogres well in hand, so he's watching the doors [ooc]( green dot, red dot, and yellow dot ), and holding himself ready to respond Ready action silkstring snare on the first hostile opening one of the doors. As before, that's a DC19 reflex or be entangled and stuck in place...
This is a proposed Wilrin bot... so I'm hiding it in a spoiler
Wilrin Bot Maybe?:
Wilrin waits with a grim smile, for the last foolish ogre to come to him...
Delay to Init 0 (after the ogre goes)
If the ogre comes, he will full attack (Full round action) .
If not, he will advance around the corner to chase it down. He will advance on the ceiling, taking full advantage of Leg's climb speed. With leg's climb speed of 30, he can get to the square with the bright green outline with a single move (move action) . At that point, he either will attack the ogre if within his reach (Standard Action) , or he will continue to pursue (second move action)
Wilrin Attack routine if needed:
Wilrin Attack 1, To Hit:1d20 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 0 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 0 = 15
+7 bab +3 Str +1 magic weapon +1 small +1 higher ground (he's on the ceiling)-0 (no PA penalty on first attack due to furious focus)
depending on positions, he might get another +2 Flanking w/ Ungor
Rommin moves back to the door at the end of the hall (shown on map) and listens at the door in case the rending behind him alerts anyone to come and help the ogres.
