Longroads Coffeehouse 2.0

Game Master chadius

Stitch draws out his pistol before the battle gets underway. Meat Wagon rumbles calmly, engine purring, exhausts rolling out small puffs of steam mixed with gray smoke... its almost mesmerizing to Stitch.

"The fight is on? THE FIGHT IS ON!" He snaps out of it just in time to hear and respond to the plucky joke aimed at Roark. After the quick retort of his own he lubes up Meat Wagon and his own weaponry.

Overdrive ◆: Overdrive: Standard Craft Check, DC18?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
*Failure: Nothing happens.

Most of the WD2250 dribbles down the side of the can, not helping them out in the least. "Crap." He sends his steed into battle regardless.

"Mash up 'em Meat!"

Overdrive, Double command.

That one is tiny, but so close. Bash n slash. Bash n slash.

Meat Wagon rumbles ahead, wheels barely even getting one revolution in before the bumper goes right over the gnome's head and the mower blade swipes out at air.

Melee: Bumper Ram: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Damage (B): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Melee: Mower Blade (Agile)(Finesse): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 4 = 7
Damage (S): 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Step, Strike, Strike. Sadface.

Roark attempts to tumble through Dura's space (Red arrows are the direction of movement).

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 If that succeeds, he has Panache

Now flanked with Fran, Roark stares at Dura, closes his eyes and stabs her with his beak.

Beak vs Dura: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Piercing, Precision: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

He raises his buckler.

◆ Tumble Through
◆ Beak
◆ Raise Buckler (+2 AC)

Stitch is evidently still thinking about his poetry win. He tries to get his mind back to mechanical systems, but finds himself unable to shift mental gears in time.

Meat Wagon then tries to run over and cut up Thisnabel. “Hey! Watch where you’re moving that thing!” she cries out as it gently nudges her.

It doesn’t look like you applied Frightened to any of your rolls, Roark.
Roark stylishly tumbles past Dura but then misses with their beak,

Rhenei moves closer to the action and says “Here is something to cool you off.” as they thrust their hands forward. A crashing wave of water sprays in a fifteen foot cone from their hands hitting Roark, Fran, Mr. Midnight, Stitch and Meat Wagon.
Bludgeoning: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11 DC 18 basic Reflex

Clover waves her arms, bringing in a force from the natural world to fight for her party. "One good spray deserves another, I guess."

◈◈◈ Summon Animal (Skunk)

The skunk turns its tail towards Rhenei and sprays.

◈◈ Spray Musk (DC 16 Fortitude save)

Gah! oops.

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Roark dodges most of the water and he stares daggers at Rhenei. "Hey! Why ya spraying ME? You should spray Meat Wagon over there, all that soot and stuff really gets my feathers grimy!"

The skunk sprays their musk all over Rhenei. They say “Eeew! This is disgusting!”
Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 Failure

Roark manages to avoid the worst of the wave. Forgot Frightened but it didn’t change the results.

Rhenei points out “I <gag> did get <gag> the contraption <gag> in the spray!”

Reflex DC18: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Stitch looks over at just the wrong time, catching the water to the face. Eyebrows dripping he shakes his fist at the rodent caster. "I had my bath last week." He fibs.

Reflex DC18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Like usual, Meat Wagon avoids the worst while loud and baldy up top takes it to the face.

oops. I didn't realize Frightened affects all checks -- Normally it never matters :)

"Lions protecting the circle of life,"
"Be prepared! They cry in times of strife."
"Can't you feel the love tonight?"
"Hakuna Matata, in times of delight!"
Bella pauses and grins slyly.
"A wonderful musical, ripe to kife!"

Performance vs Dura's Will DC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
"Well? How was it? Impressive, no?" She waits for Dura's response.

Khiari snorts. "Sis, stop trying to impress your girlfriend and let's move already!" She watches Fran, frustrated and decides to take initiative and headbutt Dura backward.
Shove vs Dura's Fort DC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Bella sighs, rolls her eyes and moves towards the little mouse. "I hope you are enjoying this fine duel."

◇ Bella draws her shortbow
◆ Bella uses >Fascinating Performance< and >Focused Fascination< against Dura. If she beat the DC, Bells gets panache
◆ Khiari Shoves Dura 5ft down
◆ Bella Strides

Stitch gets a face full of water. Meat Wagon manages to avoid the worst of it.

Bella gets Dura to listen to her ear-worm of a song but fails to physically move her. “Be better if your sister didn’t try to use my body as the drum.” Success so you get panache

As Bella blithely strides past her, Dura strikes with her sword. “Shouldn’t let yourself be distracted like that.” She does look mildly surprised when Khiari is hurt by the strike as well.
Attack of Opportunity
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 = 8

Halran points his weapon at Nicole and says “Prepare to be cut down!” before striding up to her. He then slashes with his sword, nearly taking her out.
Intimidation: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 Crit success

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 (finesse, versatile P) Critical
Slashing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15

Demoralize, Stride, Strike

That burning sensation stays with Halran. Check is at the end. It failed.

Having seen how her cut against Bella hurt Khiari, Dura says “Seems the link between the two of you is unusually strong. Should you really have left your sister behind like that?” She then slashes twice at Khiari with her sword to demonstrate her point. Only the first strike hits.
Intimidation vs Khiari: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Evidently Bella ignored it completely.

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword, MAP: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 12 - 5 = 14 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 7) + 5 = 18

Apologies, this is out of order.
Halran still burning?: 1d20 ⇒ 11 Yup

Round 2:

As Fran realizes what is happening she manages to utter a single, arcane word before both her and Mister Midnight are doused with the high-pressure spray of water. Anyone watching notices that the cat's form takes on the substance of mist for just the briefest of moments.

As a reaction, Fran triggers Phase Familiar for Mister Midnight.

Fran Reflex (DC 18): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Mister Midnight Reflex (DC 18): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

While a combination of Fran's magic and his own quick reflexes seems to shield Mister Midnight from much of the spray, she herself isn't as quick and suffers the full force of the spell.

"Augh...that...that hurt," she gasps as she takes a step away from Dura and begins casting a spell of her own, mending some of her wounds.

Soothe (Self): 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
______________

⟳ Phase Familiar
◆ Step
◆◆ Soothe

Thanks to Fran’s quick reaction, Mr. Whiskers turns to mist and allows the water to flow right past them. Unfortunately Fran takes the full effect of the wave.

Stepping away from Dura, Fran then spends a moment healing herself.

With the resist 7 from phasing, Mr. Whiskers takes no damage. Well done.

Rhenei says “Nice trick. Glad you were able to save the cat.”

Round 2:

Nicole gives Thisnabel a really?-that's-how-you-use-your-sword? look after she fails to hit her, but her arrogance has taken its toll when Halran makes her frightened and his weapon connects at her easily.

"Ouch!" is all that she can say to that. "Okay, I need some help here," she calls her teammates' attention before she throws a bomb at Halran.
Moderate Alchemist Fire Bomb Attack, Frightened 2 vs Halran: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 - 2 = 16
Bomb Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (6, 7) = 13 fire damage plus 2 persistent fire damage, plus 2 fire splash damage (to target only)

Moderate Alchemist Fire Bomb Attack, MAP, Frightened 2 vs Halran: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 5 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 - 5 - 2 = 14
Bomb Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 fire damage plus 2 persistent fire damage, plus 2 fire splash damage (to target only)

She then steps back.

◆ Quick Bomber
◆ Quick Bomber
◆ Step

As Nicole goes to throw her first bomb, Harlan strikes her again with his sword. Attack of Opportunity
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 6) + 5 = 14

That no doubt is why her first bomb misses him, only the splash from it doing anything. Then Nicole falls unconscious from her injuries.

You didn’t get an opportunity to throw your second bomb or to step.

Thisnabel steps over to the side and then strikes twice, first at Stitch and then at the skunk. Although it is close, both strikes hit. The skunk pops out of existence.

“If only the ritual protected us from the stench…” she says as the skunk goes away.

Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 (finesse, versatile P)
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Aldori dueling sword, MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 5 = 13 (finesse, versatile P),

Roark attempts to beak Dura again.

Beak vs Dura, Frightened: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Beak vs Dura, Frightened, HP, Vestments: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Beak vs Dura, Frightened, MAP: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Disgruntled, Roark raises his buckler.

Vestments and Frightened cancel each other out

◆◆ Whiff x2
◆ Raise Buckler
↺ Opportune Riposte

"We need to reduce their number. Focus on Harlan. See if you can get Madame Flames back up."

The dueling swords sting, even if they don't bleed.

"Miss Dura, you have my full attention."

Stitch frowns as Nicole hits the ground "Looks like you guys are better so far on the pointy end of things, but we'll turn it around." He again tries to lube up himself and Meat Wagon before patching himself up with some battle medicine.

Overdrive ◆: Overdrive: Standard Craft Check, DC18?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
*Crit Success: +5 damage to personal and construct damage rolls for 1 minute.

Battle Medicine Self vs DC20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 162d8 + 15 ⇒ (4, 2) + 15 = 21 That's what I get for going up a DC level!

"Meaty, I said squash n slash that Gnome, don't give me any excuses!"

Overdrive, Battle Medicine Self, Command x1

Smash smash I was takin' a bath.. in Gnome goo!

Melee (Overdrive): Bumper Ram: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Melee (Overdrive): Mower Blade (Agile)(Finesse): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 4 = 13 Damage (S): 1d6 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 5 = 10

Roark misses twice against Dura and then raises his buckler.

Stitch gets Meat Wagon adjusted to optimal performance but then drops his bandage as he was trying to patch himself up.

Meat Wagon rams Thisnabel with his bumper.

“Hey, that hurts! Watch where you are driving that thing!”

Rhenei risks running over to Clover and then decides they better get some help. “Halran, come help me take care of this one!”

Having said that, they then risks casting a healing spell on Halran.
Heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Bella steps up. Dura is a skilled fighter, able to react to any kind of opportunity. She would have to be distracted.

"Sister! Heads and Tails!"

Khiari nods and goes for the legs, hoping Dura's reflexes aren't as good as her fortitude.

Trip vs Dura's Reflex DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

As Dura hopefully topples over, Bella follows up with a good kick.

Fist: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 - 4 = 15
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
Confident Finisher: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7 Half damage if it missed

◆ Bella Steps
◆ Khiari attempts to Trip

Khiari manages to trip Dura, but the followup knuckle sandwich could have been better. Still, Dura is on her rump and gets a black eye.

◈◈ Heal (30 ft range): 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (6, 7) + 16 = 29 Clover heals Bella and Khiari so that they can survive and take down Dura.

Then, seeing no place safe to run to, she attempts to trip the sickened and smelly Rhenei. Odd though it seems, I'm safer here with the sickened Rhenei then I would be anywhere else.

"You're a really interesting opponent, Rhenei. I'm guessing you're a primal spellcaster like me?"

Athletics T (Trip vs Reflex DC): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Clover heals the sisters Bella and Khiari. Rhenei does not strike as she is doing this.

Then Clover knocks Rhenei down.

From the floor, Rhenei calls out “Anytime you want to help, Halran!”

Dura says “How did I become so popular?”

Halran evidently is listening as he rushes over to help. He slashes twice, once at Stitch and then at Clover. The first strike is horribly placed but the second has no problems hitting the gnome in the corner.
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword vs Stitch: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 8) + 5 = 16

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword, MAP vs Clover: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 (finesse, versatile P), Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 5) + 5 = 15

He takes some more fire damage before the flames sputter and go out. “Finally!”
Does it finally go out?: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Dura stands then steps into flank with Halran to attack Fran. Evidently she doesn’t consider Mr. Midnight a threat. The blade hits and is enough to knock Fran out.
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 8) + 5 = 21

“That is two of them down.”

I don’t think there is anything that Nicole can do. She doesn’t have the dying condition because of the ritual so her condition doesn’t get any worse.

Thisnabel then decides it is time for her to strike. As she is thrusting with her sword she tells “Time for you to come down off that mechanical menace.”
Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage, Sneak Attack: 1d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (3) = 11

Seeing he is still up, she tries a second strike. The second attack misses.
Aldori dueling sword, MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 5 = 15 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage, Sneak Attack: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Then she goes on the defense, ready to deflect any attacks.

Stitch clutches his leg as the sword slices him again. "Ya ya, I'll come down off this thing when I'm dead or dyin'!" He shifts Meat Wagon down into low gear and tries to mash the prone RAT, mower blade spinning...

Command 1 and see how that does before my next two actions.

Smash and dice the rats.. where's that cat to clean up the squished bits?

Melee (Overdrive): Bumper Ram: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Damage (B): 1d8 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 5 = 10

Damage (S): 1d6 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 5 = 12

Double tap on Rhenei. Last hero point activated, hopefully that's enough for a KO.

Meat Wagon hits with both attacks, knocking Rhenei out.

Both masters wince as they see this happen.

Dura asks “Do Pathfinder Agents always fight this dirty?”

"Time to unleash the fury!" Stitch hollers towards Halran, pretending to fire his pistol in the man's face, but instead whirls and tries to club Dura in the noggin' with the clan pistol's reinforced stock.

Deception: Feint vs Dura: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Think it'll work? Ya.. it'll take a miracle.

Melee: Clan Pistol (Reinforced Stock)(Finesse), Overdrive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Damage (B): 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Dura is surprised by Stitch’s attack and gets a bump on her noggin.

Doh! Just realized that Rhenei has no way to wake herself so there is no reason to not allow Belle, Khiari and Clover to act.

"I got this, sis!" Khiari tries to slow Dura down some more.

Trip vs Dura's Reflex DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

While this is happening, Bella looks at Thisnabel. "You know Thisnabel, Meat Wagon once malfunctioned when a skunk crawled into the exhaust. It took Stitch a week to clean it up."

Performance vs Thisnabel's Will DC: 17 = 17
Bella wonders if a quick joke will lighten Thisnabel's guard. Besides, it's exciting!

Bella hikes up her dress and begins to skip along the battlefield. While it saddened her to see her friends fall, the lack of lethality was liberating.

◆ Khiari attempts to Trip Dura
◆ Bella uses >Fascinating Performance< and >Focused Fascination< on Thisnabel. Using >Assurance< for a 17 roll. If I succeed, I get Panache.
◆ Bella Strides, possibly provoking a Reactive Strike Attack of Opportunity from Thisnabel

Khiari fails to trip Dura.

Bella does manage to distract Thisnabel and manages to get into position without the gnome attacking her. Gained panache

Looking at botting possibilities. Frightened is supposed to go down one step each round, right? So Roark isn't frightened anymore?

I kept looking for a way for Roark to raise his buckler, trigger Halran's attack of opportunity, and then get away, but I could not find one.

Clover heals herself first, which does not have the manipulate trait, and so does not trigger an attack of opportunity. This is in the false hope that she can then survive Halran's attack when she casts her rejuvenating flames.

◈ Heal (self): 2d8 ⇒ (8, 5) = 13

◈◈ Rejuvenating Flames (15 or 20 ft Cone, Reflex DC 19 for foes): 2d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 + 1 = 10

A pool of flaming, dancing phoenixes erupts from Clover's hands, healing Fran and Stitch, and hurting Halran.

You are correct, Roark isn’t frightened. That is why it doesn’t say frightened after his name on the status. Previously it did.

Clover quickly heals herself before sending out a cone of flames. Halran attacks her as she casts the second spell. It hits but not enough to cause Clover to go unconscious.

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 7) + 5 = 14

Halran very nearly evades all the flames, but some of them catch him.
Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

“What is it with your group and fire?!?” he cries out. Then he realizes that although the flames hurt him, they didn’t have the same effect on Fran, Stitch, Meat Wagon and Roark. Just he and Dura were hurt by it.

Dura takes the full effect of the cone of fire. 15’ cone would get her and Roark.
Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Ah! It's my turn to shine!

Roark squawks madly at Dura, losing his coordination and panicking.

Deception to Feint vs Dura's Will DC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Then he begins to dance at her.

Performance(E, Dance): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

He feels full of panache!

Beak: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Piercing: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9
But even with his feint and Panache, he misses pecking her.

"FRAN!" Roark yells. He drives his beak at Dura twice before taking a step back.

Beak vs Dura: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Piercing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Crit?: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Beak vs Dura, MAP: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

◆◆ Beak x2

Using Roark’s post and adding the extra 2 precision damage from panache

Roark hits Dura with his beak the first time but misses the second. He then steps back out of her reach.

Halran tells Clover “Those flames were certainly a nasty surprise.” as he strikes her, knocking her out.
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 5) + 5 = 14

He then turns to Stitch and says “Seems your team has a lot of healers.” as he strikes at the dwarf. He doesn’t quite manage to take him out, but it is very close.
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword, MAP: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 5 = 21 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 1) + 5 = 14

He then tells Stitch “I will leave you for my companions to finish off.”
Intimidation: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 Success

Looking down at Fran, he says “Doesn’t seem right to strike at a lady when she is down.”

Orlania does a face palm at hearing this. Judging from her expression, Halran is going to get an ear full about his tactics.

"CLOVER!" Roark screams with rage. "She makes the best soup! You'll regret that!"

Fran comes to with both Halran and Dura standing over her, weapons at the ready.

"Oh...this isn't going to be pleasant, is it?"

No matter what I do here I'm going to be eating AoOs so let's see...

Gritting her teeth, Fran attempts to get to her feet. Assuming that she makes it, she utters a word of healing and taps Stitch on the shoulder before rapidly attempting to get out of the way.
______________

◆ Stand
◆ Life Boost on Stitch
◆ Stride

Fran stands up. As she is doing it, Halran frowns and says “Sorry, can’t have you getting back into the action.” as he swings his sword and knocks her unconscious again.
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 2) + 5 = 13

Why didn’t you cast that from prone? It would have also provoked but absent a critical it wouldn’t be interrupted.

Dura says “You’ve got this, right Thisnabel?” The gnome quickly nods.

Dura turns her attention to Khiari and says “Time for me to take you off the board!” before attacking her twice. The first is a near perfect thrust, the second misses.
Intimidation: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 Critical success

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 (finesse, versatile P) Critical hit
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4) + 5 = 11
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword, MAP: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 12 - 5 = 15 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4) + 5 = 13

Thisnabel then attacks Stitch, knocking him out. She then attacks Meat Wagon but misses.
Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 (finesse, versatile P) Hits because of flanking with Halran
Slashing Damage, Sneak Attack: 1d8 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (3) = 10
Aldori dueling sword, MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 5 = 6 (finesse, versatile P),
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

She goes back on guard, ready to deflect incoming attacks.

Round 4:

Khiari frightened 2
Clover unconscious 0 HP

Bella sighs. Nothing short of a miracle will secure the win. Dura's sharp reprisal didn't help things, either. The only hope was to quickly KO Thisnabel and prepare for Dura and Harlan's thunder.

Fist: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 = 28
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5
Confident Finisher: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

"Sister. Here." Bella calls out. "Carefully."

Khiari nods, blows a raspberry at Dura, and the Steps back before Striding away. "So, uh... plan?"

◆ Bella uses Confident Finisher on Thisnabel
◆ Khiari Steps
◆ Khiari Strides

With a masterful strike, Bella knocks Thisnabel unconscious.

Khiari carefully retreats and then blows a raspberry at Dura.

Meat Wagon rumbles idly, awaiting the loud, bald man to wake up and give it orders.

"STITCH! Nobody picks on ol' baldy but me!" Roark yells, "Let's see how you like some current!"

Electric Arc, DC 18 Reflex: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 = 8

Roark raises his buckler.

◆◆ Electric Arc vs Dura and Halran
◆ Raise Buckler

Roark sends a jolt of electricity at the two remaining opponents. They both avoid the worst of it.
Halran Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Dura Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Halran moves to attack Bella and does so masterfully.
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 1) + 5 = 12

Although frightening, Bella is able to keep a cool head. Part of that is likely that she was knocked unconscious by the blow.
Intimidation via Unnerving Prowess vs Bella: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
I will admit that I didn’t do the math on the above hit until after I did the Intimidate check…

Halran has already intimidated Roark, so I guess he has to do something else.

Halran then moves up to Roark, Sword at the ready.

Dura says “Looks like you are the last one standing, Roark.” She does a slight bow dipping her sword and then follows the wall to approach him. Neither of her attacks hit.
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 7) + 5 = 15
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword, MAP: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 5 = 9 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15

"The plan?" Bella doesn't have time to think. The thunder comes crashing down upon her, held by an uncouth yet experienced fencer.

KOed by 2 damage...

Roark steps north and immediately slams his beak onto Dura.

Beak vs Dura, Confident Finisher: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Piercing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Confident Finisher: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

He then tumbles through her space, ending 5' south of her.

Acrobatics, Tumble Through: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Acrobatics, Tumble Through, HP: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

◆ Step
◆ Beak
◆ Tumble Through

We might have a problem where Hero Points get removed from the slide twice. In general, I update for Hero Points spent as I do the update. When I looked Roark didn’t have any.
I am guessing that Roark’s player may have deducted the Hero Point from the slide when he used it, which would have caused this.
I also just realized that I hadn’t given out a Hero Point yet and should have just before this battle.

Call if even, or does someone want to dig through the gameplay to see how many were spent? I believe everyone started with two.

Roark hits Dura with his beak and successfully tumbles through her area.
Dura strikes as he moves through her area.
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 7) + 5 = 14

Halran moves up to Roark and attacks twice. He is moving so as to stay out of Roark’s reach until the final approach. He misses with both. “You certainly are an agile foe, Roark.”
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 3) + 5 = 9
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword, MAP: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 12 - 5 = 15 (finesse, versatile P)
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 4) + 5 = 17

Then Dura moves up on the other side of him. “Unfortunately there are two of us.” She strikes twice, but only the first of them hits.
+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 5) + 5 = 13

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword, MAP: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 12 - 5 = 13 (finesse, versatile P),
Piercing Damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 5) + 5 = 11

Round 6:

Bolded may act

Halran 22 damage
Dura 49 damage
Roark 27 damage

Cleaned up the action block to just those who can take actions. I can resume with the old block if people want me to.

Roark steps northeast and beaks Dura again, hoping to at least take one of them down with him.

Beak vs Dura, Confident Finisher: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Piercing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Confident Finisher: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

He beaks Dura again, knowing that, proverbially, his goose is cooked.

Beak vs Dura, MAP: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Piercing?: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

◆ Step
◆◆ Beak x2
