Nic tries to remain unobtrusive, ready to strike if need be.

"Now, we're backed into a corner here, and that's the most dangerous time for an animal. Y'all got a chance to back off and get out of here with all ten fingers and ten toes, and I reckon y'all should take it."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

The tall man sighs, "I had a feeling it was going to come to this. Let's get this over with then" he says, with a sad smile, before he and his thug draw steel and attack.

And the dice really don't like you, do they?! :)

We can assume that you drew steel the same time Tascio did.

Nic darts forward and quickly pokes at Red before he has a chance to react. Red hears a soft TINK on his armor. He laughs heartily and touches the small dent Nic's rapier left in his armor.

Just to clarify, is it his off-guard AC that's >22?

Just to clarify, is it his off-guard AC that's >22?

Correct; 22 doesn't hit either way (therefore AC is at least 24)

"Y'all should still back, and not get mangled by this here bruin," Buford says, tapping his sword against the bear. "Here, this'll help you stay a fair distance."

He lets loose a fireball at the two opponents before they close on him

DC 21 Basic Reflex Save, Fire Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 3, 6, 6, 6) = 31

Buford spreads a little in case they have their own area affects.

++ Tel Projectile on Red Tel: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 Bldg dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10

Buford unleashes a fireball at the two hostiles. Red moves quickly for his size and avoids the worst of the damage. Tascio nimbly dives out of the way, avoiding harm entirely.

Nyak Nyak tries to put the evil eye on Red but the thug only laughs. Hurling a loose rock also doesn't work.

A burst of flames appears in the passage directly behind the soldiers.

Is that Fireball?

Tascio tucks and rolls and escapes damage entirely. Red also manages to avoid the worst of the fire. However, the death stare he gets from Slipp rattles him beyond belief.

Red charges at Buford and, staring him straight in the eye slams his greataxe down on the druid.

BK begins a Courageous Anthem (I think I forgot to have him refocus during the 30 minute layover so no lingering) and hammers the two opponents with a blazing bolt

to hit Tascio, courageous anthem: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 = 14

BK - go ahead and take the refocus. That's usually assumed anyway

BK starts to inspire his comrades. He then unleashes bolts of fire on Tascio (who easily avoids it) and Red, who gets smacked in the arm. Red roars with rage at the strike.

Sorry, I thought I had everyone's hp back to full. Consider Huh as fully healed...

Tascio walks up to Huh and flicks his rapier up in one direction.

Feint; Deception vs Perception DC 17: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Fortunately, Huh isn't fooled. Tascio snarls and stabs him with the rapier anyway.

He then raises his shield.

Huh goes through the motions of raising a shield. Tascio scratches his head wondering what Huh is actually hiding behind...

Then you have 1 action left unless you did repair one of them :)

Tascio looks impressed but unaffected by Nyak Nyak's stink-eye. Then winces as a rock bounces off his noggin.

DC is 22 because Slipp is level 6 and it fails.

Huh tries a follow-up strike against Tascio but doesn't hit. Slipp shoots a moonbeam at Red but the thug doesn't even bother dodging. They then toss a fireball at him and appears surprised as it hits!

Yes. I'm assuming you also refocused. Unless you're on a serious timetable, for expediency, it's easier to just handwave it...

LOL bad copy pasta - sorry :p Just wait til I hit L4! I'll be back!

I was afraid you got kicked by a cassowary a few too many times... :)

Buford steps away from the knight out of reach from his axe and tries to really put the hammer to the knight.

DC 20 Reflex Save for Crushing Ground from Red: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 3) + 1 = 21

Nic again tries to perform a hit and run attack on Red but misses.

Buford opens the ground and drops Red in, before slamming it shut. Red howls in agony as the earth crushes his ribcage and ends his existence.

Don't forget the +1 to spell damage from courageous anthem.

BK manages to give Tascio a splitting headache.

Tascio feints high on Huh.

Deception vs Perception DC 17: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

He manages to get the goblin to follow the point of his blade before flicking it back and stabbing the goblin warrior.

Where's your attack roll for Elemental Toss? He's not just going to catch it, you know :)

Nic tries another hit-and-run on the remaining enemy.

Rapier attack, including courageous anthem: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 1 = 18

The results are similar to the last few times he's tried this.

Tascio gloats as Nic attempts to hit him again. "Try again, little man. Or maybe I'll show you how it's done!" he taunts.

Not sure if I roll this damage or not. If persistent damage is rolled by the GM, please ignore...

"HA! I'm in your head now!"

"Here's some mud in your eye, boy," Buford says, as he tries to use his primal might and blind this man.

Target needs to make a DC 21 Fortitude save. Note if he is level 7 or higher, treat his result as one better than he actual did

He then moves to get onto the other side of the guy to help out his teammates.

Cast a spell (two actions), stride (1)

Tascio grins as BK tries to get in his head. "Hahaha! You little ones think you're so sma-aaaaaaa!" His gloating voice turns into an agonized scream as Buford turns the lights out!

Nyak and Slipp send Huh some much needed healing.

Tascio flails about, his swords going every which way trying to stab Buford, Shirty: 3d2 ⇒ (2, 2, 1) = 5

Hidden: 3d20 ⇒ (19, 9, 6) = 34

Yea, not going to bother with the damage on that roll.

BK hurls some loose rocks at Tascio but misses.

Buford swings at Tascio but misses. He does manage to freeze some of the sweat on Tascio's shoulder, causing the man to cry out in pain.

Nyak Nyak yells at Tascio to scare him. He doesn't succeed but the rock he hurled does the talking for him.

Nic tries to heal Shirty, but doesn't quite the bandage right. Shirty stabilizes on his own though and appears to be peacefully dozing.

Slipp throws a fireball but it explodes harmlessly on the wall above Tascio.

Huh jerks awake and realizes the situation the party's in. He grabs his hammer and smacks Tascio in the leg.

Tascio continues to flail around with his weapons.
