Falcon's Hollow (v1.0)

[Vishantos]

Init 11+2=13. Spot 7-1=6

Vishantos quickly mutters a spell mage armour, profile adjusted and then loads his crossbow.

[Laurent Reno]

Forgot my action.
Laurent begins to sing an inspirational melody that might go something like this, "Avoid, avoid, avoid the dangerous crossbow bolt's sting." Laurent then ducks in the hopes of gaining some cover from any trees or bushes that might be between he and the attacker.
That was inspire courage. Everyone has +1 morale bonus to hit, damage, and saving throws vs. fear and charm effects. Also, I couldn't resist a little Elan.

[Dragonmann]

Somebody roll initiative for Geddoe...

[Nerek Lodetracker]

1 +7 = 8 he won't like that

[Dragonmann]

Initiative order is:
Laurent: 17
Nerek: 16
Grung: 15
Vishantos: 13
Razor Crows: 9
Geddoe: 8
Calar: 6

Seeing the arrow drive into Nerek's back, Laurent steps back behind a tree, and begins singing an inspirational tune about the March of the Dwarven Warlords.

Nerek, grinning at the choice of song, heals himself, and whips around to look for his attacker, spotting him about 30' away, and 10' up a tree lining up another shot.

Grung, the hobgoblin hunter in the tree fires his arrow down at Nerek again, obvious desperation on his face.

Attack roll: 14+2= 16 Damage: 5

Vishantos has his most recent and brilliant invention torn from his mind by the attack, and he responds by insuring his own defense. Weaving a boundry of magical energy about himself to deflect incoming attacks.

Then, unexpectedly, two trained hunting birds coming swooping down on Nerek as well, apparently homing in on their master's target.

Attack rolls: 16;15 Damage: 1;2

Geddoe is next

[Geddoe]

Curse you, Nerek! Curse youuuuuu!

Um, assuming that I still can't see him, my spot is a... 12. The hell.

Usually fleet of reactions, Geddoe found himself bedazzled by the lightning quick actions around him. He then sees the two birds attacking the dwarf, and quickly disarmed himself in a most clever fashion, dropping to one knee to get the dagger in his boot.

Throwing a dagger from where I stand, dunno the range. Attack is... 18 + 3 = 21, without accounting for range or throwing into melee (if any of that applies). Damage is 3 + 1 = 4. And I know I can't draw another dagger this round... unless you can do it as a move action.

EDIT: Snap! Forgot to add the bard song! THat's a 22 minus whatever to hit, and 5 potential damage.

You manage to hit one of the birds, slaying it instantly.

For the record, you had a dagger in hand already, since you never mentioned putting it away

[Calar]

if Calar has a chance to respond to events as they are going on around him, he will move towards and attack one of the crows. Rolled a 16+4+1= 21; if it hits that is 3+2= 5 damage. If this is allowed, I obviously do not have my total defense. If I am locked into my decision from before then that is totally acceptable and understood as well.

I won't penalize you for declaring your action before your turn, it was what yo would have done had we had to wait for you.

You wipe the second bird out of the air.

Everyone is now aware of the hobgoblin in the tree nearby.

Let me clarify: Geddoe flung his dagger at the bird, then went to his knee to draw his dagger in his boot. If he can draw his dagger with a move action, then that'll be his move action. If he can't, then... it's really for ascetic purposes.

Okay, you are good then, on a knee with dagger in hand, striking a pose as it were

[Nerek Lodetracker]

my AC is 17, so none of those attacks have hit me, right?

[Vishantos]

On his next action, Vishantos will close to within 20' of the tree and fire his crossbow at the hunter (point blank).

Attack roll 7+3+1=11 Damage 3+1+1=5 (although I imagine I miss)

[Dragonmann]

You are correct, i will always post the attack roll and the damage, no matter what, because it is easier then checking your sheet for your AC. If the damage doesn't apply, you get to know what you avoided

[Calar]

Calar sheathes his warhammer and draws a throwing hammer. That completes his actions

Calar will slip his hammer through the loop in his backpack and withdraw a smaller, lighter hammer from his belt. As he does so he shouts, "Stand down! If not this will end badly for you!"

Yout shot will miss, but it is Laurent's action

[Nerek Lodetracker]

On his next turn, Nerek will sheath his mace and draw his crossbow and load it (or fire if you rule I did not remove the bolt before I holstered it earlier).

19 + 1 + 1 = 21, 5 +1 = 6 damage

sheathing your mace is a move, drawing your crossbow is a move, so that will be it this turn. Alternatively, dropping your mace is a free action, and you can shoot, though please let me know when you stoe loaded crossbows, in case i need to do something bad to you

[Laurent Reno]

Laurent stops singing and runs toward where the other members are looking and shooting, longsword at the ready.

Double move toward my best estimate of the attacker's position

[Dragonmann]

Laurent moves towards the tree, drawing his longsword.

Nerek puts one weapon away and gets out the other.

The hobgoblin fires on Laurent, now the closest threar, hitting AC 15, for 4 damage.

Vishantos moves, fires, and misses.

Geddoe is up

[Geddoe]

Geddoe glanced at the hobgoblin in the tree, and, flipping the dagger in his hand, darted off into the trees.

Move diagonally into the treeline as far as I can with a single move action, and hide. Hide is d20 + 5 = 10 and MS is d20 + 5 = 16.

[Vishantos]

When it comes to my next action:

Spoiler:

I will cast "Enlarge Person" on Laurent.

+2 Str, -2 Dex, -1 to hit

Longsword damage increases to 2d6,
Reach increases by 5'
lasts 1 minute.

Then I will reload my crossbow.

[Calar]

Just reiterating my action to keep it in order. Sheathe warhammer, draw throwing hammer.

Calar switches weapons and yells, "Stand down. You have no choice; Do not press this any further!"

Hey, Vish? Shouldn't that be "-1 AC"?

oops, yes, that too! but I'm still way ahead of myself too.

[Dragonmann]

Initiative (Round 3):
Laurent: 17
Nerek: 16
Grung (the hobgoblin): 15
Vishantos: 13
Geddoe: 8
Calar: 6

Laurent is standing directly under the hobgoblin, but 10' below.

Nerek is 25' away, holding his crossbow

Vishantos is 15' from Laurent (declared action to cast enlarge on Laurent)

Geddoe is hiding in the trees, 35' from the hobgoblin.

Calar is 30' from the hobgoblin, and 10' from both Nerek and Vishantos.

Everyone needs a listen check.

Laurent is up.

[Laurent Reno]

Listen is 16 = 15 + 1. Laurent tries to get cover on the opposite side of the tree from the attacker and get out his dagger.

"Give up! Your fowl are dead and I'll see you join them if ya don't throw down your weapons!", Laurent shouts as he ducks behind the tree, barely standing after the last attack.

[Calar]

Listen is 11+0=11

[Vishantos]

Listen roll 17-1=16!

[Geddoe]

Hah hah... 11. Can't even hear myself.

[Nerek Lodetracker]

Listen check: 3 + 2 = 5 (whee)

If the hunter hasn't surrendered, Nerek will fire his crossbow before moving towards Laurent.

8 +1 +1 +1 = 11, unlikely I'll hit (d20 + range + favored weapon + inspire courage), but 1d8=6

[Calar]

Calar will dash the remaining 30 ft, and hurl his hammer upwards at the hunter. Rolled 15+2=17, Damage rolled 2+2=4; I imagine bard effects are gone by now. if not add 1 to each; Of course if the hunter surrenders, Calar will ready an action to throw his hammer at him

[Vishantos]

Given that Laurent is taking cover, Vishantos will instead cast enlarge on Calar. EDIT: Or is it too late now that Calar has rolled his attack? If so I will stick with my original plan /EDIT

Inspire courage lasts for 5 rounds after the bard stops singing

Due to the bard's abilities - my rolls are 18, 5 respectively . . if the enlarge goes off on me then adjust as needed . . .thanks.

[Dragonmann]

Nerek does indeed miss

Vishantos moves and enlarges Calar (who is now large enough to engage the hobgoblin from the ground)

It will be Geddoe's turn before Calar's attack resolves

Calar wrote:

Should be up until round 7.

[Calar]

Dragonmann wrote:

Taking everything into account Attack is 18 (rolled 15+3 str* + 1 bard - 1 enlarge; *=enlarge bonus to str). Damage (still throwing hammer, damage is 6 (rolled 2+3*+1 bard = 6); and my AC lowers to 17. Hope that helps.

[Geddoe]

Geddoe glanced over at the now super-sized Calar, then stalked forward as quietly as possible. Once he moved up far enough, he flung his dagger at the sniper, and began reaching for his last dagger.

Moving at half speed fifteen feet, then attacking. d20 + 3 + 1 = 22. If he didn't notice me, then my damage is d4 + 1 + 1 = 4 + SA = 5. Stupid Sneak Attack...

[Dragonmann]

From the shadows, Geddoe hurls a dagger deep into the side of the hobgoblin hunter. Before the hunter even has a chance to scream, he is felled by the enlarged flying hammer of Calar.

Before anyone can take a breath, however, two wolves leap into the clearing, apparently in response to the fighting. One is close to the location of the original trap, the other lands almost directly on top of the felled hunter.

Initiative (Round 3):
Wolves: 20
Laurent: 17
Nerek: 16
Vishantos: 13
Geddoe: 8
Calar: 6

Laurent is up

[Nerek Lodetracker]

How far am I from Laurent?

[Dragonmann]

Nerek Lodetracker wrote:

30'

[Laurent Reno]

If I have line of sight, throw a dagger at the nearest one and then try to get cover behind the tree. Otherwise, get line of sight and throw a dagger at the nearest one.

dagger 9 = 5 + 3 + 1

"I could use a bit more help!"

[Nerek Lodetracker]

Nerek tries to make his way over to Laurent. Avoiding the wolves so as not to incur AoO.

[Calar]

Unsheathes his war hammer and rushes to the wolf nearest Laurent, if he can reach it he will swing -- Attack = ugh, 1 . . .

Calar, now surging with size and strength, pulls out his warhammer and bounds forward towards the wolf nearest the fallen bard.

[Geddoe]

Geddoe looked back and saw that Vishantos was the sole defender against one of the wolves. Groaning to himself, Geddoe drew his last dagger and crept back to his previous hiding space, trying to blend in once more.

'No more throwing. Hopefully these mutts'll die quickly.'

Fifteen feet back to where I was. Hide is d20 + 5 = 14. MS is d20 + 5 = 25.

Actually, I'm not sure if I can do all of that without a BAB. If I can't, then I'll stay where I am, draw my dagger, and hide.

You can draw a dagger and move, as both our move actions. That is why Calar is stuck where he is ;p

Calar... uh... you can draw while moving, as long as you have a BAB. I don't know if hiding is a standard action or whatever.

IGNORE ME!!!!! ha ha, woo . . I will edit my action above, not that it matters considering I rolled a 1

[Dragonmann]

I will say that Vishantos will move towards Laurent.

The wolves shy away from a fight with the uber-Calar, instead one charges Geddoe, and the other circles to set up a chage on laurent for next turn.

Of course rolling a 4 means I miss...
