Hurray!

Animal Wranglin': 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Tanrov rushes to Erin's side and takes a swing with his rusty hammer.

Primary plus flank minus broken: 1d20 + 18 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 - 2 = 32
Damage: 2d6 + 25 - 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 25 - 2 = 28

Tanrov brings his rusty hammer around and takes a pair of (slightly less) mighty swings at the mega-bug caught between Erin and himself.

Primary plus flank minus broken: 1d20 + 18 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 18 + 2 - 2 = 37
Damage: 2d6 + 25 - 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 25 - 2 = 32
Iterative plus flank minus broken: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 2 - 2 = 29
Damage: 2d6 + 25 - 2 ⇒ (5, 2) + 25 - 2 = 30

Tanrov whips around and darts after the copper-colored bugs with his massive weapon in hand. He hops down with a grunt and brings the hammer down on the nearest one.

Rage

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23
Damage: 2d6 + 16 + 9 ⇒ (4, 5) + 16 + 9 = 34

Tanrov ponders the thick belt he just picked up. "What's this do?"

Manwitch has no fear.

Tanrov ponders the interface. "Does anyone remember how this works?"

Tsusoku can take that extract of false life for 17 temps. He needs it more than Tanrov does.

Tanrov eyes the elixir warily before tipping the contents into his mouth.

"Thanks!"

False Life: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Feeling better, Tanrov picks up the fancy belt.

"Anyone know how to turn the stele on?"

Tanrov is going to burn Kassan's Blessing from *Redacted* so Ezrek's first heal will go off. I'd rather have it on Tanrov himself. 1d8+5 isn't going to get poor Ares into fighting shape.

CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

I think it’s best if Ares just retire for the rest of the mod. There’s no practical way for us to get him into fighting shape.

Tanrov frowns as the healing potions do nothing to help his friend. The young shoanti taps his armor again, storing his friend safely away for now.

"Let's figure out this stele-thing so we can go home."

All tables should be four-person tables.

Listen to the crazy manwitch.

Magical. Battle. Pony.

Divine grace and lay on hands aren't enough.

Waaahhh.

Meh. Tanrov will just go on down 30 HP. It's not like he's some needy paladin. =P

Troll Stypic would be best. Even if you cooked up some CLW you won't be much better off than our manwitch. How long does it take you to make one?

Ares will just have to sit out the rest of the mod.

Troll Styptic would work too. Did you happen to make any of those Mr Alchemist?

Tanrov lowers his hammer and moves over to comfort his battered and mooing companion. "Can you help him?" he asks with a glance at Ezrek and Tsusoku.

Ares bellows in pain but stands his ground. The hero-bull viciously gores his opponent twice more. 29/68 prerage HP

Gore: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Damage: 2d6 + 22 ⇒ (4, 6) + 22 = 32

Iterative Gore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 22 ⇒ (2, 1) + 22 = 25

Tanrov rushes to his companion's side and brings his hammer to bear.

Provoking

Raging: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20
Damage: 2d6 + 16 + 9 ⇒ (4, 3) + 16 + 9 = 32

Rage 7/24

Taurus is my brother!

Ares lows in gratitude for the healing magics.

We'll just assume that reflex save was for the miss damage then.

Erin, it looks like you didn't get a full round attack that first round.

Ares Flex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Tanrov frowns at his companion's battered condition and nods. After Ares strikes, he shouts a command and the bull backs off a step.

Gore: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 22 ⇒ (1, 2) + 22 = 25

Iterative Gore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 22 ⇒ (5, 5) + 22 = 32

The brawny young shoanti whips his mammoth hammer overhead for a pair of crushing blows.

Raging Flank: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 18 + 2 = 35
Damage: 2d6 + 16 + 9 ⇒ (6, 5) + 16 + 9 = 36

Iterative: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 2 = 27
Damage: 2d6 + 16 + 9 ⇒ (4, 4) + 16 + 9 = 33

After the attack, Tanrov steps northeast a square.

Tanrov taps on his armor releasing his mighty companion to aid in the battle.

Upon being released, the bull begins his rampage.

Gore: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 5) + 19 = 30

Iterative Gore: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 6) + 19 = 28

Erin should have a flank on the south one.

I don't suppose it's anything like the riddle of steel.

"Tell her we're looking for the stelle. It looks like..."

The young shoanti goes on to describe the fixture, poorly, with lots of gesturing.

Feeling the tug, Tanrov reels the rogue up.

"What did you find?"

Tanrov nods and grips the rope tightly as he lowers Erin down.

Tanrov picks up Oath-keeper. "Hey look, a hammer!"

Returning to the previous room, he offers it to Erin.

Tanrov opens said secret door.

Tanrov frowns and then looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

After removing himself from the pit and helping Erin up too, Tanrov tries the leftmost door.

With the doors opened, Tanrov leads the way in.

CLW: 11d8 + 11 ⇒ (4, 7, 6, 2, 4, 6, 2, 2, 8, 8, 4) + 11 = 64

Tanrov happily leads the way after Ezrek mends the deep wounds causes by the orc's blade.

Tanrov shudders as his wounds begin to knit. "Thanks."

The young shoanti retrieves his own wand. "Use this one on me."

"Yeah, you're right", the bloodied Tanrov says as he dumps the trade bars into his pack. "Let's get going."

Tanrov frowns. He was more interested in a trophy than treasure but after a glance at Erin the young shoanti nods his agreement.

"Okay", he says as he offers the weapon up with reverence.

"Alright. Hope you feel better."

Tanrov scoops up the dead orc's weapon and heads for the exit.

Tanrov lowers his hammer and struggles to catch his breath, pausing only a moment to consider the orcish champion he just defeated.

When Magra returns bearing hammer-shaped bruises, the young shoanti visible boggles. "What happened to you? Did some shoanti show up and beat you up?"

With the wind gone from the big orc's sails, Tanrov steps forward to finish the fight.

Primary: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 18 - 4 = 32
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (3, 6) + 25 + 7 = 41

Iterative: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 4 = 20
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4) + 25 + 7 = 37

Feeling the fight turn in his favor, Tanrov presses his advantage.

Primary: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 18 - 4 = 26
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 25 + 7 = 35

Iterative: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 13 - 4 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3) + 25 + 7 = 37

Too focused on the fight at hand, Tanrov doesn't reply. He just fights harder.

Primary: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 18 - 4 = 25
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 25 + 7 = 39

Iterative: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 13 - 4 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 25 + 7 = 36

Tanrov grunts in surprise again and fires back defensively.

Primary: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 18 - 4 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (6, 4) + 25 + 7 = 42

Iterative: 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 13 - 4 = 13
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (5, 5) + 25 + 7 = 42

Tanrov grunts in pain as the orc connects, tearing a hole in his armor. He comes to his senses in time to fend off his opponent's fangs. With another battlecry he returns the favor.

Primary: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (3, 3) + 25 + 7 = 38

Iterative: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (1, 5) + 25 + 7 = 38

Tanrov steps aside, causing the big orc’s blade to clatter harmlessly off of heavy pauldron.

The burly young shoanti answers his opponent’s attack with a roar and brings his massive hammer to bear.

Rage.

Primary: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4) + 25 + 7 = 37

Iterative: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 25 + 7 = 36

Tanrov fishes out the yellow vial Ezrek slipped him and downs the contents without a second thought.

”Your move!” the young shoanti taunts as he holds his hammer at the ready.

Challenge!

Heh. I'd actually prefer the shield.

Yeah I know it's not practical. I just wish it hadnt been designed that way.

Inspired by Erin's confidence, Tanrov steps forward.

"Have it your way. I challenge you to single combat. After I beat you, your men are going to let us pass."

Heh. I'm glad someone else understands my frustration. Peter's cavalier loved challenging monsters to 5v1 battles but that always seemed very contrary to the spirit of the ability. I dislike Smite Evil for the same reason.

The bodyguard challenge is optional but yes. I have a problem with the traditional 'I challenge you to fight me and my friends'.
