Einhardt's page

Einhardt moves back through the battle and, feeling her paws easily grasp the ground and stick with aspiring confidence, the wolf reaches the wall and ascends toward Dakang.

Einhardt has a movement of 60-feet/round, and a climb speed of 20-feet. Her paws are free, so hopefully she can bite and climb too. *token not yet moved*

Einhardt actually get two trip attempts, so long as Vox also threatens the foe, because of their feats: tandem trip.

Einhardt trip attempt, roll #2:
trip attempt #2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Well, never mind about that ability being useful. That's too bad...

The wolf stands her ground for a brief moment, barely able to stand, until the sound of her pack fighting for their life reaches her ears. After a few moments of crippling sickness, she moves a few feet closer to the youth. In her own animalistic way, she hopes to be free of this debilitating sickness very soon.

Move Action - Move 10-feet closer to Vox

The wolf lashes out with a snarling maw at Enrik, following Vox's lead.

Standard Action: Attack

attack @ Enrik, Bite (PA, precise strike): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
attack @ Enrik, Bite(PA, precise strike): 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (3) = 10

Two free trip attempts if bite attack successful, due to tandem trip feat
trip1 vs. Enrik's CMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
trip2 vs. Enrik's CMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The wolf stars coldly, then menacingly snaps its jaws in the direction of the youth. As its teeth close forcibly together, the chilling sight oddly resembles a guillotine coming to rest.

The wolf circles while continuing to growl, waiting for her prey to come within reach of her fangs.

readied action: attack if target becomes available

The wolf stands, waiting for the door to be opened and enabling her to rush up the tower. The smell of goblin seeps out from beneath the old wooden door and between its disjointed slats. Einhardt paws at the door, exhaling a mixture of whining and growling.

Readied Action: Double move up the tower when the door is opened.

Einhardt continues to run, full-speed toward the closest tower. After a few quick strides she is at the stairs and rushing up, drawn by the familiar smell of goblin. He teeth bared and her chest heaving, the wolf moved with great speed and agility to find her prey.

Einhardt will double move, trying to ascend the tower. she moves up to 120 feet *token not yet moved*

The wolf hears Vox's call and sprints toward her prey.

move action: move 60-feet towards the enemies *token not yet moved*

As the wolf feels the knobby fingers of the goblin pressing up against her flank, roughly petting in quick prodding pokes. As the pungent, familiar (and upsetting) smell of goblin fills her nostrils, the wolf snorts once, then looks up to the youth with a pleading look.

The animal's face quite plainly begs, pleading with Vox, "Can I eat it?"

The wolf charges into the room and makes for the floating man. At the end of her run, the wolf leaps for the man and gnashes out with her teeth at him.

Move action: enter the room and end one square south kg bbeg. Could Einhardt please get a Lockwood to this location?

acrobatics, high jump (DC 20 to jump 5 feet high, +4 for frog animal aspect): 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 4 = 23

attack(bite): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Don't know if this will do anything since he is floating...
CMB, free trip attempt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
CMB, 2nd free trip attempt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The wolf lashes out with her snarling jaws.

Standard Action: attack

attack(bite, outflank, power attack): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (2) = 14
Free trip attempt because of being a wolf, roll twice and take the better result because of Tandem Trip feat
free trip attempt, roll #1(CMB vs. CMD): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
free trip attempt, roll #2(CMB vs. CMD): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

The wolf runs dangerously close to the towering stone creature, and attempts to position itself to attack once the youth is in position.

Move Action: Move through threatened squares to set up flank, AC = 25 if it provokes AoO.

The wolf then crouches low, waiting for the youth to follow and begin his attack.

Hold Action: Attack w/ flank once Vox in position

The wolf approaches the faint, dusty outline of the creature and strikes out with her jaws. Tentatively, the beast tries to bite and grasp the creature, refraining from putting her full power into the bite until she can fully see it.

In her confusion at facing such an invisible foe and the chaos of watching the youth injured, the wolf's attack misses wide.

attack(bite): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
damage(bite): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
miss chance(0 to 50 = miss): 1d100 ⇒ 31

Following the youth's command, Einhardt springs forward attempting to move into flanking with Vox against the sleeping rat.

Einhardt moves through the sleeping rat's square (it is helpless)

Vox's readied action to attack should trigger, see Vox's last post

If the rat dies from Vox's readied attack, I assume Einhardt would go back to guarding Vox. @GM Silbeg: Einhardt would still have a move action left this turn, would she then move close to Vox in order to continue protecting him?

Hearing the alpha's command, the wolf springs forward in a blur of motion. Einhardt slips between Ophouchus' legs, managing to not trip up her nagaji friend, and continues toward the southern-most rat. At the end of her quick strides, the wolf lunges for the rat's side.

Move Action: Einhardt moves to the square east of the rat (one square south of Strong Brute) *token not yet moved*
Standard Action: Attack

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

CMB check for free trip attempt, two rolls allowed due to feat: Tandem Trip
Trip attempt #1, +3 CMB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Trip attempt #2, +3 CMB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Following the youth's lead, Einhardt sprints into the room and uses her swift, agile paws to carry her beside the goblin that Vox is attacking.

move action: ending one square west of Ophiuchus and one square north of Poog. *token not yet moved* moving through poog's threatened area, her AC=25 against AoO due to Jaender casting shield.

standard action: bite

attack(bite w/out PA): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

With a call from the youth, the wolf drops into a low position, ready to attack. As with Arturo and Vox, Einhardt crouches, growling and waiting for the youth's call to attack again.

Readied Action:
Readied: Attack(bite, PA): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Einhardt sprints into the room a few paces ahead of Vox, perhaps spurred on by some animalistic rage from their last encounter with the goblins and watching her pack-leader narrowly escape death. The wolf runs headlong through beside the creature composed of stone and rock, snapping her jaws in a distracting, aggressive manner.

AC 21 vs. AoO from the Elemental

attack(bite, PA): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Einhardt's jaws snap viciously out toward one of the goblins standing close by, the wolf desperately trying to protect the fallen member of her pack.

Attack @ Poog
attack(bite, PA): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage(bite): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Edit: trip attempt if Attack is successful
CMB(trip attempt): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

So, can Einhardt have stepped into Arturo's old position with a 5-foot step then? In this case, she would be providing flanking with Arturo and she has the precise strike feat, which allows both she and Arturo the extra 1d6 damage. And since Vox is grappled (I assume he is grabbled, based on the descriptive text above), he probably cannot threaten with a 2 handed weapon, as such, Einhardt will have to flank with Arturo in his stead.

Seeing Vox staggering from his wounds, the wolf looks frantically for a way into the fight. Seeing no way to directly help Vox, preferably by tearing the little, annoying monstrosities limb from limb, she releases a low, throaty growl and sprints around the table to attack the only goblin she has access to.

attack @ the "chief"/GM Silbeg's Goblin Token
attack(bit): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
damage(bite): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Alternate Action:
If Arturo tumbles through the chief's square successfully, Einhardt will instead 5-foot step into Arturo's previous square, rather than running around the table. In this case, Einhardt would be flanking the chief with Arturo, and her total 'to hit' roll would be 15 vs. AC, and dealing an additional 1d6 ⇒ 1 damage for a total of 11 damge total (if the hit is successful)

Einhardt's teeth gnash out at the creature, the wolf's snarling and growling already drown out by the splashes within the murky pool.

attack(bite w/ pa): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

The wolf pauses for a moment, looking up to the youth, then turns and trots away from the town. Within a few paces her stride has lengthened into a sprinting gallop, her grey fur becoming a blurred streak skipping across the landscape which quickly disappears, blending into the sprawling vista of wilderness.

As Arturo turns around, speaking warmly to the shopkeeper, Einhardt becomes visible sitting patiently beside the counter on the wooden floors of the shop. The wolf's head is titled in confused bewilderment, looking at the mustachioed gentleman.

woof!

@Ophiuchus: I think we could use a trip specialist, reach weapons would work well for that purpose...

Along this line, if it helps, I'm trying to build Einhardt as a trip specialist as well. At level 3 Einhardt will have Outflank (+4 when flanking with Vox) and Tandem Trip (roll twice and take the better result when attempting a trip, which she gets as a free action after making a successful attack melee attack).

Einhardt runs through the corridor safely and jumps against Vox in an excited collision that causes them both to fall and roll playfully to a stop.

From her place in the gameplay thread, the wolf's ears perk upon hearing a faint and fleetingly terrible pun.

Idiot... she thinks to herself.

Roger that, my bad :)

roger that! I thought it might be a double move, I love that it is not!

The wolf lunges at the goblin with teeth exposed and siliva glistening.

attack(bite): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
trip attempt(if bite attack successful): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Can I retcon Einhardt's action to not stay and guard Vox but to double move to get into flanking with Arturo? If so, Einhardt moves through the threatened area, drawing AoO. Her AC is 25 when moving through threatened squares.

"Einhardt, go! Get ahead of me!" her master calls out. "Get around behind him!"

The youth is pointing toward the vile goblin near the corner of the chamber, and Einhardt immediately sprints to get behind it.

Double move to get behind the goblin in melee with Arturo.

The wolf's muzzle nears the purple vapor then then suddenly recoils away, her pitiful whimpers sounding as she steps back from the mist.

The wolf trots in a circle as the youth begins to ascend, calling out with a pathetic, nearly inaudible whimper to Vox as his feet leave the stone floor.

The wolf tilts cocks her head in confusion at Vox, and looks quizzically at the youth.

Spurred on by a motion from Vox, Einhardt rushes toward the last remaining foe and moves into flanking with Arturo.

attack(bite w/ flank): 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 2 = 19
damage(bite): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CMB(trip attempt if attack hits): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The wolf trots in a dismayed circle, looking up to the inaccessible Vox, and letting out a sharp woof in frustration.

The wolf stands near Jaender, her teeth still bared, looking up to the balcony she cannot reach. The sound of Vox's struggle reaching her keen ears.

guard

You're exactly right, sorry about that! I completely missed the trip attempt Einhardt was allowed. I was so happy after actually succeeding on Einhardt's attack (after Vox pooped the bed with his attack), that I forgot the trip attempt!

Einhardt lunges at the goblin as well.

attack(bite w/ flanking): 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The wolf shifts five feet, ending her movement just south of the goblin known as Poog. For the moment, Einhardt waits with twisted anticipation for Vox to step forward, so they can attack and kill as one.

Move Action: 5-foot set to the square south of Poog. *token not yet moved*

Hearing Vox's signal to approach and attack the unknown figure, the wolf stops her initial, instinctual guarding of Vox and speeds off across the room.

At the far side of the room, the wolf uses her incredible speed to loop around behind the creature, awaiting Vox's arrival.

Einhardt: Double Move. Token updated.

A blur of quick movement slips through the door and approaches the table of adventures, moments later shown to be a decently sized wolf trotting purposefully between the various tables, chairs, and incredulous patrons. The next moment, the wolf is beside Ophiuchus and walking in a few slow circles until plopping ungracefully upon the floor to lay down.

The wolf looks up expectantly at nagaji.

Spurred on by Vox to press the attack at Asar, Einhardt snaps her jaws at the towering figure to no effect.

attack @Asar(bite, +2 attack, +1 bless): 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Once she has missed her target, the wolf deftly scoots out of the way in order to clear a path for Vox in the upcoming seconds.

Move action: 5-foot adjust

Ha, no worries! Einhardt missing makes more sense, because I couldn't believe an attack roll of 9 hit.

The GM giveth and the GM taketh away...

I didn't think there was anyway Einhardt's attack was going to hit so I didn't bother rolling her free trip attempt. But now that I know it did hit!

As Einhardt pulls back from the skeleton with a section of bone lodged securely in her mouth, she vigorously shakes her head trying to topple the damned, undead monstrosity in one go.

trip attack(free after landing a bite attack... it's a wolf thing): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

The wolf lopes into the room following Vox, and drops off the edge of the landing just the same. As the youth's attack misses Jim, the wolf lunges and tries to bring her teeth upon the visible bones of the skeleton.

attack(bite, +2 attack, +1 bless): 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

After Vox's attack misses wide, the wolf lunges forward, attempting to clamp her jaws upon the skeleton.

attack(bite vs. chewbacca): 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Einhart attempts to run around the skeleton beside her (chewbacca), in order to set up a flanking attack with Vox. Once in position, the wolf waits for the young man to step opposite her and attack.

Einhardt performs two acrobatics checks because she is attempting to move out of two threatened squares. Into G5 and then into F6. Then the wolf will hold her attack action until Vox is set up in flanking.

acrobatics(move through threatened square1): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
acrobatics(move through threatened square2): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

If either acrobatic check fails, Einhardts AC is 16 vs. attacks of opportunity against her.

The wolf trots by the wayang and nuzzles him slightly as she passes.
