Game Master brvheart

The guard takes the lamb chop he is eating and makes a motion across his throat with it and takes a big bite.

With that, the rest of you can roll init. The bartender is grabbing his sword and the rest of them are drawing theirs.

Do I see the guy that was carrying the mace here as well?

just in case

No, he went into the villa across the way with his bodyguards.

The rest of the party is still invisible and will be until they take an offensive action. No point for the paladin as his aura makes him light up like a christmas tree and he has moved outside the circle. The haste will be in affect for 3 more rounds.

init Melkor Stoneteeth etal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Ini: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Everything went smoothly as they moved to the inn until it didn't. Incensed by a stranger wearing Moran Infidel bane's armour Ratel stepped out of the invisibility aura and challenged the man. This was almost certain to end in bloodshed, so Jim activated the power of his magic scarf and tensed, ready to defend Ratel should somebody attack.

Swift action: Spend 1 panache to activate swordmaster's flair to gain 5' reach.
IIRC you can't ready move + attack (although you can ready either individually) so this is probably Jim deferring until somebody attacks one of the party.
Readied / Deferred attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 6 = 16

Giving a subtle nod in response to the threat, Ratel, realizing that neither Felix nor Tal'ariel would know who Moran Infidel Bane was, turns to Felix, "The one in the breastplate stuffing his mouth is mine."

Which icon is the one in Moran Infidel Bane breastplate?
init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

As I said, they are drawing swords, etc. You can all go before them except Thoron it seems. Everyone but Ratel I am judging as still invisible until you attack. Haste for this and 2 more rounds.

Roll20 is up, but you will need to decrease the size and move around to find the inn. It is definitely there. It is the entire village.

Intent on making his words reality, Ratel squares his feet shifting the grip on his bardiche. Moving his hands closer to the cresent blade, he chops at the man wearing his employers armor, following it up with two quick thrusts with the tip.

2nd attack misses, he drops after the third attack

Iz-dubar said a short prayer and raced to Ratel’s side. Not one to discriminate he swings his sword in a two handed grip at the female cultist.

better of attack 1: 1d20 + 11 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 3 + 2 = 24

She felt that. You can count on a reasoned retort on her turn!

Felix stealthily moves next to the other cultist and with a measure tap smashes his sap into the enemy.

If it hits Felix will use brutal beating and triggering Enforcer
Damagen nonlethal: 1d3 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + (5, 1) = 9
Intimidation: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
The cultist would be either shaken for 10 rounds, but instead I will make him frightened and thanks to his brutal beating sickened.

This is possibly for next round since events have made Jim's readied action kind of moot.

Jim had never been taught to dance although in battle he moved with the grace of one. He closed on his target and thrust, plunging his sword into the man's flesh.

Standard attack with haste & precise strike (vs the dude with the helmet): 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 1 = 34Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 6 = 21

Tal'ariel conjures grease, attempting to catch a couple of foes off-balance.

Grease, targeting the woman and the man with a thick head of hair, along with the two squares to the right of them. Reflex DC 15 or prone.

She then slips back out of the inn, trying to hide. Move just out of view, stealth.
Stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

reflex Scarvonii the Dark: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
reflex Han Filo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

"Slim" we will count that as this rounds action. So the reposte is after the enemy attacks, I remember it.

Move 30 ft to base of stairs and attack guy with helmet, spell combat

Cast defensively shocking grasp offhand; free action to release on sword attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

The last guard moves onto the bar pulls his cb and fires at Felix:

lt cb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The bartender hops the bar and attacks Iz:

longsword: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27 damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 plus damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 unholy

The woman also attacks Iz:

longsword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The guy in the grease takes a swipe at Iz with his halberd at -4:

halberd: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

confirm crit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 extra damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

So including the crit Iz has been hit for 30 hp.

Thoron is next then round two.

Feeling the unholy might of the bartenders blow Iz-dubar swung his sword above his head and used the momentum to bring his sword down upon the bartender in just retribution. As the blow landed Iz-dubar let out a mighty cry, ”Let the scales be balanced!” He smiled as he felt the warm glow of his deity’s healing power flow through him.

Thanks Thoron

Vital Strike (Combat)

You make a single attack that deals significantly more damage than normal.

Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +6.

You only have a BAB of +4

You confirm, but with less damage. Unless I am missing something.

Warpriests get this class feature that allow as them to select bonus feats using there class level as their bab (see below)

Bonus Feats: At 3rd level and every 3 levels thereafter, a warpriest gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement. These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as combat feats. The warpriest must meet the prerequisites for these feats, but he treats his warpriest level as his base attack bonus (in addition to base attack bonuses gained from other classes and Hit Dice) for the purpose of qualifying for these feats. Finally, for the purposes of these feats, the warpriest can select feats that have a minimum number of fighter levels as a prerequisite, treating his warpriest level as his fighter level.

If it matters I would have done more damage taking 2 attacks with haste rather than vital striking. Vital strike only added 4 damage.

Yeah sorry Iz, I figured that out which is why I deleted the post. It ended up being a difference of only 4 hp. You hit AND confirmed.

I can't move my token, but I'm hoping I was able to sneak away last round, and sneak back inside this round to surprise someone.

Tal'ariel slinks back inside the tavern and fires a blob of acid at the guard at the bar.

Against him, I will give you the sneak. The bartender not so much. I am not sure why you could not move your token. It is still set for all people to control them.

Tal'ariel fires a blob of acid at the guard at the bar.

[dice=Acid Splash vs touch, Bless]1d20+7+1; [dice=Damage+Sneak?]1d4+1+2d6

please note. Acid Splash is 1d3 only, unless it's a school power; but you also missed adding haste to attack

I had to move you Slim as you put yourself in the same square as Iz.

The guy on the ground in the grease is now down. The bartender is now down.

Seeing the bartender and the bald man go down in quick succession, Ratel couldn't blame the two guards that had started fleeing towards the back. Finding the idea of attacking a woman distasteful, Ratel steps over the body of the dead man wearing Moran Infidel Bane's armor. Shifting his grip on the bardiche, he swings repeatedly at the retreating guard.

Not great rolls at all!

Well there is also a +1 for Bless but that really only helps the first attack

With that the guard at the bar drops his lt crossbow and the ranger drops her sword. They surrender. The other 4 lie bleeding unconscious. XP=2686 each

"Open bar? Beldar starts to stumble towards the bar.

Looking from the surrendering guard to the drunk, Ratel quickly asks, "Where is Avvakris?"

Tal'ariel quickly ensures that the folks who've surrendered have no hidden weapons.
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

She then casts Detect Magic and looks over the various items for anything of value.

You disarm them of all their weapons. Quite a bit of their stuff is magical.

Jim wiped the blood from his sword and said, "We'd better keep alert, the noise of the fighting could well bring others. The cult of Set is going to be furious."

Taking his own advice, Jim kept watch incase anyone came.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

No, he went into the villa across the way with his bodyguards.

Not getting a response from anyone, Ratel nods towards the villa. "Three men went across to the Villa from here earlier, Avvakris may be one of them. We should investigate."

Turning to 'Slim' "It sounds like Avvakris is in charge, if we cut the head off of the snake, so to speak, the rest should flee."

Not waiting to see who does what, Ratel heads out the door to the Villa, calling back. "Someone should probably stay back and deal with the prisoners."

Double move out the door, in case were still in init.
