"Ok, I'll leave the details beyond killing him and taking his stuff to your chef. I'm a bit to straight laced for all that. "

init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

"Ok, now that my boo boos are fixed, I'm good to go. What about you spell slingers? "

Yes, but you do have brawler to work with now and pummeling style is pretty damned good.

"Thanks, buddy. I wasn't feeling so hot. '

Being down 33 point (at least), I'm rather in favor of healing up).

Actually 5th Ed tries to keep it simple (though I have to imagine it will succumb to splatbook pressure in due course).

sounds good

Whatever works for you. I've waited before I can wait again.

It has been fun, but you can only do what you can do.

I am going to be offline until Sunday evening, so bot me as needed.

Not wishing to extend the metaphor gag line any further he responds to the shrine "Howabouts we bring you the big man's head? that there's an offer. "

"Chef, go ahead and cook him up a fetchin plate of metaphors. "

"come on fellers, that there is a metaphor, dontya know?"

"Indeed Anhur, you sure are hoppin like a junebug on a hot skittle "

"Yes, missy, we'll do what we aimed ta do. Glad ta see ya won't be all broken up and all. Much appreciate all the help. "

"Hostiles? Some more varmints won't mean no nothin to us. " and he will follow.

"Yeah, maam, might you have some notion where as to the way we ought to be goin?"

More BAB, clustered shot, +1 dex. Use standard 1/2+1 Hp (so 6+2 con)

If possible I would just add seeker to my current bow (which would make it +2 in total bonus).

"Thankye kindy maam. Much appreciate the aid. "

"Waal, lead on missy. You said you had some gear we could use?"

"Yeah, ah reckon there can't be much love lost in that there family. Heck, she might as least know where they keep the silverware. "

"Waal, ya know Anhur, I think yer a swell fellow, but ah reckon things in here ain't much like they seem. Ah think Gerold is probably more on top of this here situaaation. '

Now it might be I'm getting overly suspicious and all that, but somehow I don't much trust this here situation. "

"Waal, ain't that a neat trick. " he says as he finds he feet slipping like he was one ice. "Gonna take a bit uh gettin used to. " and he heads off in the indicated direction.

"Yeah, reckon the long haul is a mite bit longer then. "

"I don't reckon I understand that family. Well let's get a movin on. "

"Lika Ah said why change?"

init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

On his turn activate Kirin style. Open fire. Deadly aim, rapid shot, manyshot.

to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (8, 4) + 18 = 30

to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 probably a miss though

add +1 to hit and +1 to each damage die if within 30'.

"Ah reckon it's a tarp. " spelling is correct

"Size ah that one had me a mite nervous, but he folded like a silk bandana. " and he will follow along as well.

I am at a gaming con this weekend (until Sunday evening). My posting will be sporadic. Bot me as needed.

When it gets around to him again, he will try to identify again and do a full round arrow volley.

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 CR 5 or less it works, so I doubt it again

to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 miss probably

+1 bow, +1 strength, +2 specialization, +1 weapon training, +4 deadly aim, +1 point blank shot so +10, first shot is manyshot so it counts as 2 arrows with one to hit roll, so 2d8+20, if my kirin strike check had passed, I could have added an additional +6 to one hit per round of course these are mooks so it likely wouldn't be necessary.

Yuri will take a step away (5') from the threatening opponents and shoot again.

He will also use a swift action to try and identify them for kirin style.
knowledge religion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 probably not unless CR 1 (kirin sttyle requires CR+15 for check)

Hmm, looks like mooks, but I can try kirin strike anyway

knowledge local: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 well that's a waste

Single focused shot with kirin strike and deadly aim on an orc

to hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 damage: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21 just wanted to see how good it was, a full attack would have been better

"Take that ya varmints"

Yuri will activate kirin style and draw a bead on the largest orc if one happens to be distinct. He will then wait until people are in position and ready to go, then fire.
deadly aim
to hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

A suggestion I head which sounded good for PbP was take average initiative values for the party and the bad guys and just roll those. Then one side or the other goes first and you don't have to wait for people to post in order.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
