Sir Falcon hears Irlana, but isn't about to stop attacking unless the mummy does. Aren't mummies really tough things!?! "Yeah. You're pretty agile for someone that's long dead! But we're only going to kill.... I mean.... Ah, whatever. Only if you force us to. We just want to destroy the door and kill the dragon. It's evil! They're both evil!" Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13 STR+3,BAB+5,Magic+1,Weapon Focus+1, Bless+1
What's going on with all the bad rolls again! A 2 again? So for this round a 1, two 2's, a 3, a 5, an 8, and a 13....

Sir Falcon steps forward drawing his flaming Katana. "We will destroy that door unless you stop us. So I guess we have to stop you!" Using Challenge Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13 STR+3,BAB+5,Magic+1,Weapon Focus+1, Bless+1

Sir Falcon stops the flames and sheaths his sword. He moves over to examine the body. "I don't know if she was evil or not. But we can't leave any allies of the dragon for the battle." He removes the medallion. "Anybody want to check this?"

Sir Falcon leads the group back to the stairs and starts back up, Andwise follows Maffei hiding behind Tanssi with Irlana behind. He calls out, "Hello Ma'am. Sorry to intrude again...." Irlana uses Sir Falcon's words to cover her quietly casting Bless. Sir Falcon continues as he approaches the woman again, "You commented about polite and I just completely forgot my manners. My name is Sir Falcon von Raptor, and I forgot to ask you for your name. Again I didn't want to intrude, but you are right that so many people aren't polite. You see, we are here specifically for the Mighty Aeteperax. We met him at the village and were very impressed, by his size and his words. So I wanted to show you my sword here. It flames too, and I thought it might be a good weapon to Kill That Worm!" Unless she stops him he activates the flames on his sword and attacks. Challenge used, +5 Damage, DR2/- Attack with Flaming burst Katana: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 15 BAB,Sword,STR,Bless,Weapon Focus

Actually Sir Falcon just wants to get some distance to discuss a plan. I was giving Andwise and company an option to say something before backing away from this room. Assuming nobody disagrees?: Once the group gets down the stairs and far enough that the creature is unlikely to hear Sir Falcon calls for a halt.
"That creature seems to be mentally unstable and infatuated with the dragon. That name may be useful but I don't think we can safely leave it alive. I say let's go back up. I'll approach it again to ask about the shapeshifter in the funny hat. She will probably get upset that I'm asking about him, but that should create enough of a distraction for Maffei to get behind her. Irlana can cast spells to make the battle easier and I'll start things by making my sword flame and attacking. I don't know much about snake people like her, but they might have some dangerous magic so we should try to kill her quick!" "Thoughts?"

Sir Falcon gives his best 'winning smile' at the creature. "The shapeshifter in the funny hat? I think we met him when we got here, but he didn't mention that he was a healer. OK. We'll leave you alone now and check with him. Thank you!" Unless someone objects? I don't think we need to chat with her anymore? We can discuss options once we get some distance.

Sir Falcon continues the conversation. Not too clear on specific details he decides the others can listen and figure out what it all means later.... "Oh, right! Not Szangi. Well, the Mighty Aeteperax went to the village.... he was looking for books from the mage there. They tricked him, so the Mighty Aeteperax showed them his anger. He demanded tribute, or he would destroy them, all of them and their whole village." He looks at her uncoiled body. Snakes tended to be really strong.... "We. Ah, We are here to help the Mighty Aeteperax to collect the tribute. But apparently there are some issues with communicating with the Mighty Aeteperax's servants. There was a fight, upstairs? or was that downstairs? between a Grioth and woman alchemist. I'm afraid the lady was badly hurt, and the Grioth destroyed. Is there a healer available for the woman?"

Seeing what is obviously a dangerous snake woman Sir Falcon steps ahead of Irlana. "I'm not familiar with than name. Who are you?" He tries to put his voice in a pleasant tone, not demanding.... Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 He does have his sword out but not flaming.

Sir Falcon tries to move away from the swarm.... STR check DC 15?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 Did he still need a Fort save? Fort save?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Feeling almost ready to drop Sir Falcon feels healing energy come through the link with Irlana. He sees the alchemist drop and steps over her body trying to draw the wasp swarm on to it. (5' step?) He waves his flaming sword through the swarm wildly like a torch trying to burn the bugs.... Not sure how to handle that, but he's got a really great torch!

Thanks for rolling for me. I saw this but was busy and forgot to get back to it. The dice are neutral so any roll is valid. Fort save poison?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Ouch!
Does the roll have to be trained? Know-Nature: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 Never mind! Bugs! They hurt! And that drops Sir Falcon.... 0 HP.

Sir Falcon is confused by the lack of success. He is hitting but the woman doesn't appear to be hurt? Attack with Flaming burst Katana: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 17

OK "Goladryth? Which one was that? We've killed several of the creatures here and sent at the town. Don't really feel like we should need to kill you, but you're making our decision for us!" He steps forward and continues his attack. Attack with Flaming burst Katana: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 24 Darn! I was hoping for another crit!

He charges into the combat, challenging this obviously dangerous foe! Attack with Flaming burst Katana: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 29 Additional +2 if charge counts?

Sir Falcon follows the lady, ready to fight if needed. "Stop. I will attack if you force me to." If he catches up to her he does attack. If he catches up to her:
Attack with Flaming burst Katana: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 27 damage if that hits?: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 + (4) + 2 = 17 "bast" ? I meant cast Bless for Irlana....

Sir Falcon raises his sword and commands it to burst in to flames again. He strides toward the woman watching to see what she does. "Who are you? We killed the monster. Don't make us kill you."

Sir Falcon feels the pain of the monster hitting but just ignores it. Did you take 2 off of the hit(s)? Once he uses the challenge he has DR2/- to that enemy. Seeing Maffei fall he attacks with everything he has.... Attack with Flaming burst Katana: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 26
If Irlana's ability makes that a crit?

Sir Falcon sees the monster flying and swinging the strange sword. He doesn't care about the monster though when he sees the nasty wound on Maffei. He rushes at the creature with his flaming katana swinging wildly on approach. On approach he issues his challenge to the monster. Double move Challenge 2/day - (+5 Damage, DR2/-) Once per day, a samurai can challenge a foe to combat. As a swift action, the samurai chooses one target within sight to challenge. The samurai's melee attacks deal extra damage when made against the target of his challenge. This extra damage is equal to the samurai's level. The samurai can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day for every three levels beyond 1st, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.
Banner: All allies gain +2 morale bonus on saving throws against fear and a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls made as part of a charge.

Bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 Sir Falcon steps toward the man. He commands his sword to cease flaming so he can sheath it. "The wagon just needs the axle repaired. It should be here in another day or two. Getting all of the men and women to grab what they can carry and come here.... Won't happen. They're too scared of the dragon. I believe that the date set by the dragon is still a few days off, but we wanted to come and assure whoever we had to speak with that there wasn't any issue. Supposedly the dragon has some watchers to verify that nobody is leaving the area.... ??"

Sir Falcon stands over the kobold with his flaming sword. "If you scream I'll run my blade through you. Slowly, so you feel the burn for a long time before you die." "Someone bind and gag him. No need to ruin tonight's sleep for everyone!"

Sir Falcon straps the Abadaran banner to his pack, then helps the Shelyin followers mount their banner, high for anyone to see. He steps back and nods to them. "Yes. That looks good as a banner for the town, and all of us!" He then adjusts his equipment and calls out to the party, "Are we ready to depart? and KILL THAT DRAGON!!?!"

Sir Falcon steps forward, studying the large banner until he sees the flag. He steps forward to accept the flag in his off hand and draws his katana with the other. Mentally commanding the blade to flame he holds both high and calls out, "We will defeat the enemy and protect this town from the evil that it represents! Long life to the citizens of Belhaim!" Turning to the other banner he adds, "Both banners are excellent. That one should be mounted across the main street so any that enter the town would see it. And this one can be mounted beside it, or outside of the town hall once the enemies are destroyed. I shall carry it in to battle until that day!"

Or hand-wave that he knew he would need it and purchased one before we left town?
