Andrelis sighs, and withdraws the blackjack from his belt. We'll try not to... by the way, which way to the office and the interrogation room he sheathes one of his swords, and stands behind the door.

Which door, the one to the room we're in or the one Yuzu and Gareleth are at? I'd like to get as many PCs as possible in the Bless zone.

Andrelis hasn't had a chance to act yet, so he's still in the room with you.

Krima points to the north. "Somewhere up there. I'm not allowed up there though."

I guessed that but I'd like to know where he is (or is not) going. Kaseem can move into the next room and catch everyone in the 50' Bless zone if we all move into the next room. Since Tuck still hasn't posted I'll move him into the next room on his turn.

Kaseem moves into the room with Yuzu and Gareleth and prepares to cast a spell.
Moving and readying to cast Bless.

Kaseem moves into the next room following Garaleth.

Galvar rushes up to the door and tries to open it.

Contested Strength, Galvar: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Contested Strength, Yuzu: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

And Galvar rips the door open! He starts to shout at Yuzu, "There are four men dead in there...". But before he can say anything more, Garaleth trips him! Galvar's mouth is agape as he falls to the ground.

Hey, GM, can you confirm something for me? Oil of taggit is all we had, right? Which usually only causes a KO for a few hours?

Andrelis moves quickly to support Yuzu at the door, and knowing Gareleth's range, he set himself up to deliver maximum effectiveness.

sap aoo if Galvar attempts to stand: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Nonlethal: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (5) = 9

Hey, GM, can you confirm something for me? Oil of taggit is all we had, right? Which usually only causes a KO for a few hours?

You only used oil of taggit in the stew I believe, yeah. Tamrin also gave you two elixirs of hiding, an elixir of love, a scroll of silence, and apotion of eagle's splendor (seen here. But Galvar saw four bodies on the ground and didn't check to see if they were still living or not.

Gotcha. Wasn't sure if it was that or if someone had "accidentally" given us oil of murder ;P Buuuuut Yuzu doesn't have that knowledge, so I'll roleplay that out.

"Dead?" she asks, mind rolling over quickly. "We came right in here after I ate the stew. We certainly didn't kill anyone-- we're just trying to do our jobs!"

Hey, all that's technically true!

Andrelis will motion to open the door further. Waving his sap in his hand to indicate his intentions…

I forgot to ask earlier is each square on the map 5' or 10'? Assuming they're 5' each.

Tuck moves quickly to enter the fray!

Double move Tuck.

Gotcha. Wasn't sure if it was that or if someone had "accidentally" given us oil of murder ;P Buuuuut Yuzu doesn't have that knowledge, so I'll roleplay that out.

"Oil of murder" is now officially a thing!!!

Thanks, Exxon!

Andrelis gets ready to beat down Galvar if he stands up.

Tuck moves up to join in the fun!

Yuzu didn't take an action!

Galvar looks at her with disdain as he falls on the floor. "Attacking me is not proving your point.". He spits at her feet.

"We're not attacking," she points out, "just using de-escalation tactics to ensure that this ends with as little bloodshed for any of us as possible, like good jailers."

"...Sorry, Lawfully Neutral jailers."

Parrameleh dashes foward as do the guards.

"De-escalation tactics indeed!" Gareleth agrees with a smile as he lashes his whip out to trip another guard blue.

Trip Attempt: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Delaying to see if the guards are going the combat route or just confronting us.

Garaleth manages to trip one of the guards!

"You slammed the door in my face, tripped me, and... He attempts to stand up as Andrelis punches the man with his sap.

"You should know it's illegal to do any physical harm to a member of the Chelish guards.". Galvar spits at Yuzu's direction. "Whatever you did to the others in there, you will pay. You will wish you were never born!"

?: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"Straven already went to fetch the interrogator. He'll be here before you can blink. And he'll bring the whole Chelish army with him."

Galvar return fire on Andrelis, smacking the rogue with his light mace.

Light Mace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Kaseem, Parrameleh, Yuzu, Tuck, and Andrelis are up!

At least it will be a short outing and thankfully only one Chronicle Sheet lost.

Kaseem casts Bless on his allies.

Andrelis, seeing how this is going, abandons his pretext of not hurting the guards too much, and launches a full attack at Galvar, Us, You started this! he says incredulously, We're just defending ourselves, this is the last time I agree to give folks a holiday off...

shortsword, bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
Shortsword, damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
sap, bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
sap, nonlethal: 1d6 ⇒ 1

"Why do you think we did anything??" asks Yuzu.

Still, she takes her sap in her hand.

"You're not leaving me with any choice!"

Thwack!

Blessed Power Sap: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 22
NL Power Bonking: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Quick question: Who is botting Parrameleh?

Tuck will delay in case an opening in the lines appears where he can move and attack.

May give Parrameleh another day or so, but looks like they haven't posted in any of their other games. Does anyone want to bot her? If not, I can always bot her.

May give Parrameleh another day or so, but looks like they haven't posted in any of their other games. Does anyone want to bot her? If not, I can always bot her.

I'm fine with you botting her if no one else steps forward.

Kaseem channels Ra, blessing everyone in the party! Everyone faintly glows.

Andrelis swings and misses, but Yuzu manages to knock Galvar on the head. The other guards gasp as he falls back to the floor unconscious.

Tuck delays to see if there is an opening while Parrameleh runs to the other door up north to help flank.

"Four guards are dead or unconscious! One still stands, but says his stomach is on fire.". One of the guards points at Yuzu. "You helped Thrick with the stew. You must've put something in there!"

Another guard continues, in anger, "If you were truly innocent, you would place down your weapons and submit to questioning. Since you have no problem with violence," he looks at the bleeding Galvar, "we have no choice."

Dark blue attempts to hit Yuzu, then step back to allow his companions to attack.

Light Mace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Light blue steps up and attacks Yuzu as well.

Light Mace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Dark green stands up and hits Andrelis.

Light Mace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Light green steps up, standing over Galvar and attacks 1d3 ⇒ 3 Andrelis.

Light Mace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Another guard steps into the corridor from the staff lounge and fires a crossbow bolt at Andrelis.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Only one guard manages to hit!

???: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Dark green

Everyone is up!

Gareleth grins at Andrelis and whispers, "[b]I think it's going really well,/b]" and then flicks his wrist twice with a tiny bit of arcane muttering added in spell combat and spellstriking to get two attacks, using arcane mark to get the second attack. Gareleth's arcane mark is a stick figure drawing of him done by Hallin.

Trip Attempt on Light Green: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 = 8

Trip Attempt on Dark Green w/arcane mark: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 = 27

EDIT: I believe that first one will be a fail, so he'll drop the whip (which is on a weapon cord) so he doesn't fall himself and then he'll change his spell to ray of frost on light green

Ray of Frost vs touch AC: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 = 61d3 ⇒ 2

If I were playing a better bluffer...

"I ate the stew, too!" Yuzu reminds them. "A big bowl of the stew!"

"If I was trying to kill you, I'd be using my knife! If you back away, we can just... talk?"

Note to GM: Check your PM please, I sent you a question.

Kaseem moves forward and activates his Wand of Cure Light Wounds on Andrelis.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

They don't seem to back down... for now.

"You're one of those wizards, aren't you! Here to trick us. GET HER FIRST!"

So Garaleth does not attempt to trip Dark Green (with the nat 20) and uses Ray of Frost on light green instead? Right? Does that provoke an AOO?

Yuzu tries to calm down the guards but they seem dead set on attacking. (There's little you can do to convince them without an appropriate skill check. If you all put down your weapons, then maybe they wont attack. But for now, they seem to be going all out.)

Then Kaseem touches Andrelis with a wand and the rogue's wounds stitch up slowly.

Parrameleh, Tuck, and Andrelis are up!

Yes, I neglected to cast defensively, so casting would provoke.

Yeah, Yuzu ain't got the skills to speak of ;P But her attack mod's pretty good!

Hey! Enough! Andrelis attempts to defuse the tense situation without backing down. Indicating Galvar with his foot, This one started this, assuming we're something we're not. We're here as a favor since you are shorthanded on the holiday. He's had us in sight the whole time, yet he tried to start a fight with us! We're Aspis agents, we don't take sh*t from anyone, and we sure aren't going to surrender because this pompous jerk wants to complain because he's stuck in here with you all on a holiday! the elf continues, building momentum, Wait, what if he's behind this, and put bad rabbit in the stew. She's pointing his thumb at Yuzu, got a cast iron stomach, but ever think it was something else? he says, allowing his sword point to dip ever so slightly, indicating an offer to end the hostilities.

[ooc]dice don't fail me now...[/b]

Bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

The guards don't listen to Andrelis's argument unfortunately. (Nice roll, but they seem dead set on attacking unless you drop your weapon and surrender for questioning. )

Light green also attempts to attack Gareleth as he fires his ray of frost.

Light mace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

(Does someone want to bot Tuck and Parrameleh? )

Parrameleh and Tuck are up!

I'm still botting Tuck and I thought you were taking Parrameleh? Tuck is stuck with no way of attacking anyone right now so he's still in delay.
@Gareleth: Perhaps move back if he's going to use ranged attacks? That way the melee crew can move in and participate.

@Kaseem: Yeah, I should have backed up once they closed, but since I hadn't stated that in my previous post, I just had to eat the AoO. I'll move back a step on my next turn.

(I'm about to head into work. Will bot Parrameleh when I'm back, unless anyone else wants to bot her.)

Parrameleh dashes in (double moves) while Tuck delays until he can line up an attack.

These Cheliaxians scoff at Andrelis. "Put down your weapons and perhaps we'll listen. For now..."

They attack!

Light Green vs. Yuzu: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Light green swings and misses! Then he steps back and lets the Dark Blue guard come in.

Dark Blue vs. Andrelis: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The light blue guard swings at Yuzu, though the wall blocks some of the attack.

Light Blue vs. Yuzu, cover: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Then the dark green guard stands (provoking an AOO from Parrameleh).

Parrameleh AOO, claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Then the guard attacks Parrameleh back!

Dark Green vs. Parrameleh: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Then the purple guard approaches and lines up a crossbow shot at Andrelis.

Purple Crossbow vs. Andrelis: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Everyone is up!

Kaseem channels the power of Ra to heal his allies.

Using Selective Channeling feat to exclude Dark green and Light green.

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3

As the healing energy washes across him, Gareleth gives his fellow Half-Orc a smile and says, "Much better, thanks!" as he steps back, recovers his whip, and then lashes out to trip another foe.

Trip attempt on Blue: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

If that is not a success, he will drop his weapon corded whip again.

Tuck takes a 5' step into the gap left by Gareleth and uses a flurry of blows on the guard.

Dealing nonlethal damage to the Dark Blue guard.

Flurry of blows: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 61d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Flurry of blows: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Yuzu heaves a bit of a sigh; if she still had her nodachi...

Well. Maybe a nodachi-sized sap...

She lashes out once more:

Power Thwack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 21
Bonk: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

I'd love to be Cleaving here, but the dang door's in the way!

Yuzu heaves a bit of a sigh; if she still had her nodachi...

Well. Maybe a nodachi-sized sap...

She lashes out once more:

[dice=Power Thwack]1d20+5-1+1
[dice=Bonk]1d4+2+1

I'd love to be Cleaving here, but the dang door's in the way!

I'm 0% sure the GM will say the sap is so flexible it bends around the corner and you can use Cleave. ;) (note: this post is for comedic purposes only)

Kaseem channels Ra, healing his companions. Garaleth manages to trip the blue guard. Tuck attempts to punch the downed guard, but no luck. *THWACK*. Yuzu manages to hit hard!

Parrameleh and Andrelis are up!

Will bot Parramaleh once Andrelis goes, unless someone wants to bot her.

Not hardly, back away and we can talk, push the issue and we'll continue to have what we have here... the elf snarls back at the guard, waving his sword menacingly, at least until Parra can get herself in position for him to really take advantage of the guards...

intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

I can bot her this round to help move things along. Given she hates Cheliax, I don't think she'd go for subdual.

Parrameleh moves 5' and claws spring forth from her hands as she motions Andrelis into flanking position.

Claws: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Dagger: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

I hate it when Copy and Paste doesn't work right. The "Dagger" attack should also be "Claws" so that's 17 to hit and 5 damage. If the first claw attack drops Dark Green please apply the second attack to Light Green.

Andrelis manages to intimidate the guard in front of him! The guard is now shaking in his boots.

Parrameleh attempts to slash the guard... and she does! The guard is now bleeding heavily. Then he collapses on the ground, dead.

"See! They're here to kill!"

Dark blue stands up (provoking an AOO from Andrelis, Tuck, Yuzu and Gareleth). (Assuming he's still alive...)

He attacks 1d3 ⇒ 3 Yuzu

Light Mace: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 2 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The light blue one will attack Yuzu next!

Light mace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Then the light green will attack Parrameleh.

Light Mace: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

And the purple one will shoot at Andrelis.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Only Andrelis feels the pain of the arrow as it glances his side!
