Barakus begins (Black Tom's Necro campaign)

Ka'Kara, shouldn't you be applying your strength bonus to the damage?

Oh, I'm doing that for her. And the door is taking some damage, just not enough just yet. Roylenna and Rana have an action each to go, but I'll just roll for the goblins. You can catch up.

The goblins hit Ka'kara for 1 point, but the two in the back are blocked by Sandros and Rana. They react to that by putting an arrow in Rana's face for 7 points of damage.

OK, ow.

Rana tries to stifle a cry of pain as blood flows freely from the wicked cut in his face. If only he'd ducked a little sooner...

He rests his shortsword on the bottom of the arrow slit, and shoves it into the goblin when it steps back.

Readying action to attack Shortsword attack 1d20+5=23, damage 1d6+3=5

[Roylenna Brenoien]

Roylenna stops goblin-baiting for a moment to press her hand to Ka'kara's side and concentrate. Green fire is seen flowing from under her hand and across Ka'kara's bleeding skin. "We are right here, my friend. Worry not about us."

Healing via Heavenly Fire 1d6+1=7

Yay! Maximum healing goodness.

Very nice! 19 of 24 hitpoints now

The frustration and the sting of arrows is finally to much for the barbarian as she slips into her battle fury. Taking the ram she almost lifts Proteus along with it as she slams it into the door with incredible force. Thats my last rage point for the day everyone.

1d20+11=27, 1d10=3

I think there may be some other actions before this happens not sure ;)

[Black Tom]

Rana manages to stab a goblin through the slit, and you hear a muffled scream as he redraws his sword covered in goblin blood. The door finally breaks under Ka'kara's assault.

You (excepting Ka'kara and Proteus) can all act before the goblins do.

[Sandros Highmount]

Sandros rushes through the door, dropping Proteus' rope in his haste. If there is a goblin target in reach, he plans to stab it.

Rapier attack (if possible) (1d20+8=18, damage 1d6+2=6)

Rana will rush through right behind the half-elf, positioning himself to protect the other fighter's flank. If he has a target for his whip and won't provoke an AoO, he will attempt to disarm. If he has a target in range of the shortsword, he will use that instead.

I have do not know the mechanics for a disarm, for certain, but I believe there is a touch attack and an opposed roll if the attack is successful. I'll provide those and hopefully someone else can fill in what I've missed, as I'm headed out the door for the day.

Whip: Touch attack 1d20+3=10, Opposed strength 1d20+3=5

Bleah. At least I didn't waste a good roll with a bad one.

Shortsword: Attack 1d20+3=23, Damage 1d6+3=4

Hey! Here's hoping there's a goblin in range!

It's actually just a straightforward combat manuever check now - your CMB bonus plus your die roll, against a DC of 15+the target's CMB. A 10's not likely to do it.

[Hella]

Hella takes another shot with her crossbow: 1d20+6=8

...then draws her new shiny dagger while stepping up right behind Ka'Kara, as she's started to notice that there is usually a clear path right behind wherever Ka'Kara decides to move.

[Roylenna Brenoien]

Roylenna will keep pace with the rest of the party, but her actions rather depend on where people and goblins are positioned, so I think I'll wait until I get a peek at the map.

Would it be possible to get some positions on the goblins, BT?

[Black Tom]

The goblins will have been at 3216, 3316, 3219 and 3319. The one in 3219 is disabled by Rana's stab and Sandros just killed the one in 3316, while Rana made an unsuccessful disarm attempt on the one in 3319.

Given that Hella took a shot at one of the remaining goblins and missed, Roylenna is up, then the goblins.

You, too, may state your positions. I assume that Sandros is in 3416 and Rana in 3519.

Didn't Rana deserve a confirmation roll on that attack?

Actually that was from last round, the stab through the arrow slit. This round I figured that he'd use the whip. Of course thalyn might have other ideas.

Since Thalyn's back, I will defer, but my intent with Rana was to stay with Sandros and not get divided up right away. However, if he's going the other way, wouldn't he have needed to go farther to attack? He appears to be on the opposite side of a wall from the southern pair of archers.

How well lit is this area? Are we bringing our own light, or are there torches about?

Roylenna will step into the room (3516) and pull out one of her scrolls so it's ready for use (Color Spray). She's aware of the arrow slits on either side of the next door, so the intent is to be facing that next door but not in line of sight for the potential archers.

[Sandros Highmount]

Sandros' sword had a 20 min glow on it, and I don't think we spent 20 minutes talking to Ka'kara, so I think he's still got that at least.

Good catch. Forgot about those walls. That of course means that Sandros is in 3415. Rana should be in 3521.

You're bringing your own light.

The arrow slits are positioned so as to have the room covered, so Roylenna might be shot at in 3516.

[Proteus]

Updated map.

That's what I was thinking too but I'm ok with the current situation. Since one of the two archers I'm facing is disabled I'm hoping to dispatch the other quickly

Seeing one of the archers lying on the ground as he comes around the corner, Rana quickly lashes out at the other archer with his whip hoping to snatch it's bow away. He follows that up with a short step and a stab that he hopes will kill the creature. attacking the goblin in 3319 and then taking a 5' step to 3420 to finish up. fingers crossed

Whip 1d20+4=12+2 for whip=14. Shortsword 1d20+3=11; 1d6+3=4

[Ka'kara Furyheart]

Ka'kara leans agains the wall out of sight from the archer slits in the next room catching her breath and says to Proteus, "Looks like there is another door to break down." First round of fatigue

[Black Tom]

Let's get back into initiative order, shall we? 24 Hella 20 Sandros 15 Goblins 14 Roylenna 14 Proteus 11 Ka'kara 09 Rana. The goblins are up, then Roylenna, Proteus and Ka'kara. Some of you may have missed a turn, but I think it's more or less fair.

The goblins draw their morningstars and advance on Sandros and Rana. Sandros is hit for 2 points and Rana for 3.

You can post in any order.

[Proteus]

I am going to assume that one of the goblins stepped up to 3315.

Proteus moves quickly to try and get to the corner of a wall to 3414 and attacks a goblin with his sap.

Attack a goblin (1d20+2=12, 1d6+2=5).

[Black Tom]

Proteus wrote:

Yeah, sorry, forgot to mention that. Also the goblin in 3415 is dying and the one in 3219 is disabled. So the two remaining moved to 3420 and 3315.

BT, so the goblin I'm attacking went before I do correct? If that's the case then I'd like to do something else if that is alright. I don't think I would survive an AoO on 2hp

You struck at him with the whip at range but missed and then he closed. So I consider all your rolls used and now you're up and can do whatever you want.

[Hella]

Hearing the squishy thud coming from Rana's direction, Hella decides to give his opponent another target. She maneuvers to 3520 and slashes at the goblin attacking Rana, "That didn't sound too nice,":

MW Dagger attack: 1d20+7=15

for
1d3=2 of damage.

[Sandros Highmount]

Since Proteus didn't move on his turn, Sandros will - Acrobatics to move over to 3216 for flanking.
Acrobatics (1d20+9=18)

Sandros slips quickly and deftly along the wall, giving the goblin a choice of targets - and not enough time to decide between them.

Rapier attack with flank (1d20+10=28, damage 1d6+2=7)
Crit confirm (1d20+10=11, 1d6+2=4)
Okay, seriously - how many times have I rolled a threat, and then failed to confirm with a Nat 1? This is starting to get irritating... :P

[Roylenna Brenoien]

Black Tom wrote:

She'll have to take her chances, then. Duty calls.

Hella, I believe that there is a wall between 3420 (the goblin) and 3520 (you). If you move farther to have an attack next round, Roylenna will move into 3520. Otherwise, she will move to 3620.

A sickening thud? Rana doesn't use a weapon that makes that sound... Uh-oh! Roylenna hustles over to the fighter (see above for position) and casts Cure Light Wounds for 1d8+1=5 hp.

Looking at it, I think I might be in one of the best spots in the room -- only one arrow slit has an angle on me. Gulp!

[Bhanbhagta Rana]

Seeing the two halflings come round the corner Rana mutters,"That's what I call a little help."

Shortsword attack 1d20+5=24; 1d6+3=9

Confirm Critical 1d20+5=13

Energized by the healing touch from Royl, Rana lashes out viciously at the goblin in front of him. Stepping away from the gutted corpse of the goblin, Rana puts his back against the wall to get a moments reprieve from the murder holes.

That puts me in 3621

To Sandros:"How fair you elfing?"

To Ka'kara in Tharbrian:

Back in Tharbrian:

Then get your worthless hide over here and grab the other side of it since Proteus has run off!

[Black Tom]

Sandros and Rana cut down the two last goblins (excepting the disabled one clutching his eye and glaring at Rana. Ka'kara makes herself ready to storm the next door.

A hail of arrows erupts from the arrow slits. Proteus is hit for 3 points, Ka'kara for 1 and Roylenna for 3.

You're up, in any order.

[Sandros Highmount]

Bhanbhagta Rana wrote:

To Sandros:"How fair you elfing?"

"Pretty elfing good!"

"Barely a scratch!" Sandros shouts back. "But how are the rest of you?"

Even as he speaks, he is rushing toward the nearest set of arrow slits, hoping to catch one of the goblins on the far side off guard.

Move to 3614 and attack.
Rapier attack (1d20+8=12, damage 1d6+2=7)

[Ka'kara Furyheart]

Ka'kara takes another moment to catch her breath and wait for someone to pick up the othe side of the ram. As soon as they do she charges the door with it slamming into it with great force.
Open door attempt: 1d20+10=27

[Bhanbhagta Rana]

Sheathing his shortsword Rana grabs ahold of the ram and says,"On 3! Ek, dui, tin!"* Rushing forward with Ka'kara and slam into the door.

I have my whip coiled in my left hand and have the ram under my right arm.

*Tharbrian "1, 2, 3!"

[Black Tom]

Wow, I'm impressed. You got through.The door breaks, revealing a corridor beyond it, with two open doors on either side. No goblins within sight (but then you don't see very far).

Roylenna, Proteus and Hella are up.

[Hella]

Hella will move forward to the relative cover of 3918 and stand ready to stab at any goblin that might open the door.

[Proteus]

Proteus moves forward to 3717 and chants "Vitae."

Channel positive energy (1d6=1)

Everyone is healed a whopping 1 hp. Black Tom, I am assuming that walls block the effect so I don't think any goblins should get the benefit. Can you tell me if I am incorrect, so that I may know for next time?

Updated map.

You are indeed correct.

Roylenna to go, then goblins.

[Roylenna Brenoien]

Roylenna moves to 3820 and tosses another ray of fire through the nearest arrow slit. Missing, I presume: Heavenly Fire attack 1d20+5=12, damage 1d6+1=3

[Black Tom]

The goblins retaliate, firing at Sandros, Proteus and Roylenna. Sandros is hit for 4 points. The fourth goblin rushes to 3919, only to be stabbed by Hella. Make a stealth check and you may get a sneak attack.

Then four more arrows coming shooting out of the darkness (to the right) and hit Ka'kara and Rana for 3 points each.

Your turn.

Dropping the ram, Ka'kara charges 80' feet (if needed) toward the archers in the darkness and cuts one down (hopefully). The everburning torch lighting up the new area. She says as the goblin drops, "Duin-Ek"

Sandros Highmount wrote:

Yes, the goblins are in the rooms behind the arrow slits. There seems to be two of them in each room, as well as four - now three - farther into the hallway. I need to get home to access the maps before I can give you their exact positions.

[Bhanbhagta Rana]

Do I have enough move to open the door at 3918 and move to 3821?

Ka'kara:

Spoiler:

For your info "21" would be "ek beece". Here is what I'm going to be using for Tharbrian. I thought it was pretty cool.

[Hella]

As the door sweeps open, Hella stabs straight at the throat of the first goblin she sees:

Stealth: 1d20+13=24
MW Dagger Attack: 1d20+7=10 +1 for being blessed = 11
Looks like the SA is a moot point, unless there is some sort of bonus for being effectively invisible...oh well
Damage w/ SA: 1d3+1d6=6

[Black Tom]

Bhanbhagta Rana wrote:

Yes, and you could even take a stab at the goblin in 3821

Since Hella struck at the goblin with a readied (surprise) action, she can act again before the goblins' next turn. They are no longer flat-footed, though.

[Hella]

Deciding to strike at a larger target, Hella stabs at the side of the goblins torso:
MW Dagger attack: 1d20+7=27
Critical Confirm: 1d20+7=20
Critical Damage: 2d3=2

... tickling his left underarm.

Wow, minimum critical damage. Impressive.

[Black Tom]

Since Hella didn't bring the goblin down, perhaps it would be unwise for Rana to take an Aoo when there is a closer target? Just a thought.

[Roylenna Brenoien]

Black Tom wrote:

Trying to get back on track: I believe Sandros, Proteus, and Roylenna are within the first room, Ka'kara has charged down the hallway into the dark, and Rana and Hella are facing a goblin in the doorway to the south archers' room. Is that about right? Assuming it is...

Oh, and I believe Roylenna goes after the goblins:

Spoiler:

Seeing the doorway clear as some of her allies pour into the goblins' domain, Roylenna moves from the corner and ducks into the hallway 4017, please far enough to not get run over when Sandros or Proteus follows. Hearing Ka'kara's battle cry the darkness down the hall, she conjures up her familiar Lights, sets them at ceiling level, and pushes them to the right to the extent of their range or to the end of the hallway, whichever is less.
