Well that's Rise game #5 that's dead. :(

Thank you for telling us atleast.

I think we have been through most of them together - maybe we ought to split up?

Ha ha,

Hey no hard feelings, thanks for your efforts thus far GM, its been a great time. Good luck to all.

I won't be continuing given the imminent demise. Take care.

Again not sure if I qualify for sneak on an AAO:

Seeing the man make a run for it Talon tries to take a chunk out of him as he passes ...

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Sneak Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Off Hand Attack w. Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Sneak Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

CRIT CHECK Off Hand Attack w. Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Once again Talon tries to cut down Orik. Would I have sneak attack damage on him - I assume that he's flanked and that I now find him flat footed?

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Sneak Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Off Hand Attack w. Short Sword:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Short Sword Damage:: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Sneak Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Talon tries to cut down Orik with his combo of blades.

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Off Hand Attack w. Short Sword:: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Short Sword Damage:: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

But despite the strength of the attempts he slices at nothing but air.

Waiting on Krojun's maneuver to see if I need to pull off some type of acrobatic antics to try to get by the guy.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

HP 14/19

Talon's quick reflexes serve him well and he is able to deflect most of the blast with quick dodge.

Talon stands at the ready - back now, sorry for being gone so long.

ok guys here goes, sorry, been travelling for the last two days, drove 6 hours to Chicago and back each way.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Sneak Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Off Hand Attack w. Short Sword: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Sneak Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Also - Hey guys, I am heading down to Florida tomorrow morning, may break the drive up over two days. Me, my wife and 4 young boys for spring break in Destin. I will be checking in and posting but I will be intermittant due to beaches, craziness, etc. Please play for me in my absence or if I am MIA for a half day.

"That was one heck of a trigger mechanism Copper, I thought you had it licked, just shows how tricky those things can be, glad it didn't so more than it did."

Talon looks over Copper's shoulder as he works, he then taps hom on his shoulder ... "Nicely done."

Talon will take a moment to listen to each of the doors the doors to see if he can hear anything.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Rohan, others, don't wait on my checks to move forward

"Agreed"

Anything of interest?

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Talon draws his blades and cover the side opposite of Krojun as Rohan works at the boards.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Talon listens against the boarded up room for a moment then looks to see if there are any traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Down 8

"Well, what did we expect walking into their stringhold?" Talon muses.

"Very well done all, way to have each others' backsides.

With the room clear, Talon begins to scan the room for items of interest, searces the boidies, etc.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Despite his defensive posture he tries to finish off the remaining goblin archer.

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 = 16
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

Off Hand Attack w. Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 1 = 16
Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

I am having trouble making out the details in the map, I am prone and don't want to take AOO. If I can stand and attack I will, otherwise I will continue to attack from the prone position.

If noone is near me, I'm not sure that I can stand, move and attack.

Either way, for your interpretation:

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 = 18
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Off Hand Attack w. Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 4 = 7
Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Talon's chest heaves and his back arc as he feels the life flow back into him. He attempts to slash at the nearest goblin while prone on the floor.

Thanks Pimpernell!

Mainhand Attack w. MW rapier: 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 8
damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Offhand Attack w. S. Sword: 1d20 + 2 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 4 + 1 = 6
damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

But he does little more than wriggle around on the floor.

AAO on the dog that ran by Talon

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

And promptly falls to the floor, blood leaking from the gash in his wrist.

Sorry guys, goy backed up IRL, getting caught up now, sorry to slow things down right when the pace picked up!

Talon continues his assault on the dog, hoping to finish it off.

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Off Hand Attack w. Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Not sure if the AAO includes both weapons or not given that I am two-handed fighting, but they are both below just in case.

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

[ooc]Round 1 HP 9/16[/dice]

Talon pivots and takes a couple of swipes at the goblin's behind him.

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17
Rapier Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Off Hand Attack w. Short Sword: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9
Short Sword Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Talon leaps forward at one of the remaining guards with both blades.

Init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Main Hand Attack w. MW Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Talon leans over and whispers to Krojun and Rohan, "I think he's genuinely surprised. I don't think he knows what to make of this intrusion, he's still feeling us out. Be on guard."

Talon also tries to read the Chief's intentions.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

In an effort to support their diplomatic efforts, Talon sheathes his blades. He stands silently, trying to remain alert to the onset of any threat.

Talon draws his blades, taking each step carefully.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

You are gracious, thank you!

"Right, ready when you are."

"I'll quickly look around the exterior of the stockade for any other signs of activity." Talon whispers.

He the quietly creeps around the exterior walls of the stockade looking for signs of activity to traps.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Perception (sights and sounds): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Perception (trapfinding): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Talon also crosses.

"A real harpy? Meaning she's charmed them somehow perhaps?"

"We are only here because of what she started, with your help we can put an end to it and all go back our normal lives."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Talon follows suit and sheathes his blades, his approach will be measured, trying to position himself so that he could draw and enter the fray quickly if needed.

"Right lets be off."

Talon will quickly survey the area for anything of interest just before the group leaves.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Fair enough, but if we leave them here and cull their masters they will end up with the same fate, only longer and more painful.

As they proceed Talon will also be keeping an eye out for would be threats or things that may be of interest.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Talon nods at Krojun's suggestion, "We have them in a good spot, some have ben vanquished already, some are on the run. They are scattered and divided, perfect for an assault."

"We need to be extra careful with the bigguns. They must have some plan if they are organizing the goblins against Sandpoint. I'm more concerned about them and their capabilities that the swarms of green ankle biters."

"And where is the Thistletop tribe located, where is the Chief and Shaman now?"

"I really do need to learn how to speak goblin ... I wonder where I can get some training?" Talon muses to himself now that the imminent threat has subsided.

”Lets put them down quickly!”

Talon's blades are drawn and he is at the ready. I'm good with the marching order.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Survival: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

"If I wasn't so worried about announcing our arrival I'd say torch the whole thing ... I'd rather walk on ashes than through these things."

Without me going back to calc it - how much do I have to spend?

That's fine with me - easier to sneak up on land I figure.

Does one offer more concealment than the other? I'd like to keep our approach a secret for as long as possible.

I need to go back and figure out how much coin I actually had and what I ended up acquiring.

Talon places both hands on the arms of the chair he is sitting in and painfully pries himself out of the seat. "All, it is good to meet you. I understand that our fates shall be intertwined? I look forward to supporting each of you to the best of my abilities."
