Tyrant's Grasp

Hostilities having commenced, the tooth fairies don't seem all that interested in diplomacy. We're still within the 2 minutes.

whoops. I forgot about being given a tooth to maybe help with this. sorry

Red stands up and swings at pink

punch: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 1 = 16 for maybe damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

Pink takes an AoO.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Red connects, but does less damage than he was expecting. Pink attacks back, first trying to bite Red, then using his pliers.

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

pliers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Yellow 5' steps back into the keep and begins casting a spell. Green comes flying out the arrowslit, fluttering there as he casts a spell. At his casting, the door behind Vyr slams shut.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

phew! I'll wait for the rest of my turn until others have gone

Since these things are so small, can I move past Red and the pink fairy without trouble? I don't think I can try a bull rush through Red, right? And my acro is not great. If I can't move through, I'll suggest Red push pink back with a bull rush. Is Green within reach of the bridge to attack with melee if I move up?

Their reach is 0' and they are two size categories different to you. So, you can move through their square without making an acro check, but if you do so, you will provoke an AoO. Because the path is only 5' wide, you'd have to move through Pink's square to get past him. However, he's already taken an AoO this round, so unless he has Combat Reflexes, you'll be OK. Green does not threaten the walkway.

Vyr shoulders his way past Red to attack the yellow fairy, bringing his ectoplasmic sword down on it with a vicious slice.

ectoplasmic longsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
slashing dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

having noticed that his punch didn't seem to land to its full extent, Red pulls out his waveblade and strikes not sure if there's a flank there. I'll let you add that in if there is

attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 1 = 22 for slashing: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Annalise will step over, load her crossbow and shoot at green

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 for Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 8

The celestial hawk attacks.
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 for b/p/s: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 for p/s: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 for p/s: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Crit?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 for p/s: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Vyr lands a sharp blow against Yellow and Red thumps Pink, setting up Willard's hawk to savage the misguided dental enthusiast.

Yellow 5' steps into Vyr's square (triggering an AoO), and attacks.

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
pliers: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Green, seeing the hawk down his companion, flies at the bird. AoO from the bird?

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

With pink down, Red moves in and strikes at yellow with his waveblade

slashing: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 1 = 22 for damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Red takes Yellow down.

Vyr waits to see if the witch and mage (and his bird) can take it out.

Annalise will reload and fire at Green

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 1 - 4 = 11 for Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 8

AoO vs Green
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 for b/s/p: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Bird Attack
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 for b/s/p: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 for s/p: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 for s/p: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Willard himself will lob a glob of acid at green.
acid splash v touch: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 4 = 3 for acid: 1d3 ⇒ 3

The crossbow bolt sings harmlessly past the tiny tooth fairy, and the little devil dodges the salvo that Willard and his bird unleash.

Vyr puts his sword in its scabbard and draws his shortbow.

Green 5' steps into the hawk's space (provoking) and attacks.

Red moves to an arrow slit and throws a shiriken

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 for probably not piercing: 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Shortbow pulled taut, Vyr moves to get a better angle and let’s an arrow fly – it's clear he does not excel at archery.

shortbow w/ melee penalty: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 4 = -1
slashing dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Hawk Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

The hawk swipes at the fairy as it comes in close.
Hawk AoO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 for b/s/p: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Having survived shrugged off the poison, the hawk attacks.
Hawk bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 for b/s/p: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Hawk talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 for s/p: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Hawk talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 for s/p: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Willard lobs more acid.
acid splash v touch: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 1 - 4 = 17 for acid: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Annalise will reload and shoot again
"I could really use some beauty sleep"

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 for Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Willard tries to confirm his critical...
1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 1 - 4 = 14

The tooth fairy continues its assault on the bird.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Fort save please!

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 for damage: 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

A salvo of pointy little stars comes flying out the arrow slit, and the tooth fairy explodes in a poof of glittering dust.

Out of initiative.

The bird poofs out of existence in a spray of feathers.
"Shoot, you'd think a bird would be the perfect foil for these tooth-hungry guards."

"Let's get Red healed up and keep going. I'm ready to be done with this place!"

Wand hit to Red and then move through northern door?

sounds good to me assuming we have the charges

wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

When you're ready...

When you step through the door you find a once-elegant salon. Strips of loose wallpaper are held into place by teeth jammed into the walls like makeshift
staples. A folding dressing screen is patterned with lively
scenes of a fat tooth fairy blessing subjects with a wooden
scepter. A dressmaker’s dummy leans against it, wrapped in
tulle and silk. A door leads south and another leads east.

>>>map<<<

Vyr looks around the room, alert for more trouble.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Vyr doesn't notice anything amiss.

Red follows in, looking around.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Red is pretty confident there's nothing dangerous or out of the ordinary here. The dress on the tailor's dummy is being assembled by an amateur.

Red pokes his head out to quietly let Willard and Annalise know that the coast is clear.

Once everyone is in the room and seems ready, he will tip toe next to the door opening, ready to take a peak when he is given the green light

green light!

Vyr, as always, is ready to back Red up.

This lofty hall has two alcoves to the
east, each bearing a standing suit
of spiky armor. Several teeth are
affixed to the armors’ visors,
forming a grin on one armor
and a scowl on the other. A
large throne stands between
them, with mounds of tattered
pillows heaped upon its seat. A
door leads out to the west.

Atop the throne is an obese tooth fairy wearing a crown. She holds a scepter in one hand and holds a leash in the other. An esobok strains against the leash and bears its teeth toward you.

So, my feckless son has finally sent his assassins to get me. Well you won't find me an easy target!

micro-opportunity to parlay before she attacks

Red glances back at Annalise.

Botting...

Please, your majesty, says Annalise. Before you unleash your hound. We did indeed meet with your son downstairs, but we are no assassins. We can see some treachery is afoot. We have no part in this land's intrigue. We are simply wayfarers who need a stamp for the Dead Roads.

Vyr calls on the voice within his blade to aid him, conjuring a shield in his defense. He'll then move in front of Annalise, in order to protect her.

Red moves up and attempts to punch the esobok

attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 1 = 22 for bludgening: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

is the Esobok's "-4" due to do DR? just wanted to make sure it wasn't a typo - I get the sense we'll need all the help we can get :-)

Yes, it has DR 2/?

Seeing that Red has succumbed to her spell, she orders her pet to attack the swordsman.

Tim, just wanted to clarify: Estobok attacked Red or me? Text says Red but map and init tracker suggest me.

Sorry, it should be you. (Trying to not murder Red right out of the gate.)

Vyr brings his blade across the face of the esobok.

ectoplasmic longsword w/ bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
slashing dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

i appreciate that! and I hate to be a beggar and a chooser, but wouldn't it have missed Vyr since he had cast shield? Just trying to keep us alive through this if possible :-)

"Drat this royal intrigue!"

Willard will whistle for another hawk to come pester the queen.
