Ingmar does grapple the leopard.
|
Seeing that there is still an enemy present when he comes to. Angry at himself for making a foolish tactical error earlier, Manny will stand and gather his full eldritch power into his claws, before loosing a Ray of Frost at the creature before it can stand again.
Manny's Familiar will use it's independent action to pull a scroll of Heal from Manny's scroll case.
Manney hits the leopard hard, this is of course before it pushes down the fence, as Manuk got him up then it was his turn, but even with that -10 to speed, 20 speed is still enough to reach the window and break it. It still does its actions as it would have still gone for the goblins.
Manuk misses the leopard even with it being flatfooted and immobilized as its hind legs move out of the way of the jab.

Manny moves closer, but makes sure to stay out of anyone's direct line of fire. Aiming at the leopard, Manny hisses a curse in Aklo at the leopard as he looses an Electric Arc
Basic Reflex, DC 17, (yes, as a cat it'll probably make it) for half of Electric damage.
Then Squeakers O'Malley will walk up behind, carrying the scroll.
it's back legs jump up the the electricity gets part of its body.
Ylen moves in, pulls out swortsword so 2.
Leopard tries to escape fail

After a round of successful wrestling with the leopard, Ingmar will hold it down just a little longer to allow his friends to attack the leopard in its grabbed (and thus flat-footed) condition. But before the leopard gets to go again - IF the leopard is still alive after being attacked by the rest of the party - he's going to let go, regrab his pick and try to smash its head in.

After some well-deserved congratulations all around and after patching everyone up as best as possible and making sure the goblins have survived the ordeal alright, it is clear to Ingmar that this affair cannot go on like this. "We need to stop hiding in this camp like scared little children! Let's make another effort to find the cats' lair and finish this for good!"
|
Manuk was quietly pleased to have been part of the solution this time around and even more delighted that the goblins had been saved...at least for now.
"I concur with Ingmar, we need to take the fight to them. Let us be on the front foot and see how they like to be attacked - as opposed to doing the attacking!"
Of course, she was never going to find the tracks herself, but she was going to show willing.
ingmar finds the cave easily
Slide 4, behind the red line please

After having stumbled across the tracks and pointing them out to Ylen initially, Ingmar is happy to let the much more skilled Investigator take the lead and guide the group to the enemies' lair.
Once there, he'll happily take point and enter the cave first. He notices some smaller darker side tunnels and nods to his rogue friends, whispering "Those tunnels there to the left and right might be a good place for you to hide! I'll move up through the larger tunnel in the middle and draw the enemies' attention. Once they're focused on me, you come up behind them and together we'll squash them like bugs! Just like during the first battle in camp." Hoping that the somewhat less fortunate second battle, exhilerating as it may have been, didn't leave his friends shaken, he confidently moves forward into the cave, keeping his eyes peeled for any enemies, his weapon out and ready to fight.

Manuk smiles at Ylen’s confidence that he’s found a trail and soon enough they came across the entrance to a cave. It seemed this was the likely lair of the animals that Manuk now knew to be leopards.
Following Ingmar, she nods at his plan but also sees the benefit in gaining any information she can from the surroundings, so doesn’t hang back as much as the others – but doesn’t stand in what must be plain view either. ”I hope you’re right about the middle tunnel being the one with the cats,” she offers to the dwarf.
Heroes set up and explore the cave Kip the Druid
Manuk
Ingmar
Manney
Ylen
Kip goes first, he moves and takes 3/4 cover behind the fire and readies an action. Come to me Pathfinders, into my death trap, then the goblins will be mine to eat, those evil goblins, you are protecting them.

Ingmar slowly advances into the cave. Beyond what appears to be a big chasm he can make out two large fires while the cave on this side of the chasm appears to be dotted with torches. Since he knows that his companions likely lack his dwarven ability to see in the dark, he resists the urge to extinguish the torches and glances around looking for a way to cross the chasm, for while he might just barely be able to jump across, he wasn't looking forward to it - dwarves just weren't meant to fly! But there, on the right, appeared to be stairs leading up to a ledge that seemed to pass by the chasm and lead to the other side!
A muted voice called from somewhere deeper inside the cave, mocking him, daring him to come forward! And of course he would, in time! But the enemy had made a strategic mistake, warning them of a trap it had set somewhere on their path ahead. But traps lost most of their danger if their presence was known - often it was then just a simple matter of finding and disarming them! He had seen rogues do it easily several times.
Whispering, he said "Hey, Manuk, those stairs over there, I think we have to take them to get to the other side, to where those fires are burning. But whoever is calling out for us speaks of a trap, and, well those stairs where we'd have to go single file seem like the best place for such a thing. Maybe you sneak ahead and see if you can find something. We'll be right behind you, fall back to us if needed!".
Ingmar advances ahead until he reaches the easternmost pillar, affording him good cover from whatever or whoever lurks on the other side of the chasm while proving a good view of the stairs and the eastern ledge.

Manny will slip around the corner of the rock-face, to get a line of effect to the enemy. "If you want to hide from us, then I will be happy to pepper you from here." Manny looses a Ray of Frost at the target.
Manney misses terribly.
Manuk moves up to get a better shot with her bow
And she did get into a position where she had a better shot, so he had soft cover. But she still hits
Ylen did not hit.
He moves up and tries to do a Hydraulic push against Ingmar

Ingmar shakes off the shock of suddenly being pushed around and pummeled by a torrent of water. Soaking wet, he thinks to himself: "That little bastard packs quite a punch, but now it's time for payback!"
Ingmar moves to the stairs, then charges up the stairs at the enemy, swinging as hard as he can, all thoughts of a trap forgotten.

Ingmar easily dodges the desperate druid's swipes. For a fraction of a second he considers just pushing him off the edge into the chasm, but decides to finish him off the "right" way - with a pick through the heart! In a moment of peace just before he was going to let his rage take over, he remembers a little talisman his friends with the pathfinder society had given him when he set out on this mission and envisions his already mighty pick as the shiny magic weapon it is destined to become in the future! Since they had warned him it would take more concentration to use than he could likely muster while raging, he decides to honor them by keeping a clear head for the first strike before letting his rage take over for the killing blow.
