[Keiran Sligoh]

Keiran brings his halberd down on one of the dogs that was attacking the bear. He took no joy in killing animals, but they were too dangerous to ignore.

Attack on Dog #3, do I get a flanking bonus?
Attack roll 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Sorry for confusion, but shouldn't dog #3 be dead and Lucian be in the square just left of Kieran? Or did I misread something?

[Derryn Rayle]

Derryn grits his teeth against the pain of the crossbow bolt stuck in his back.

"We need to git rid of these dogs and git behind some cover!

Derryn steps to flanking with dog #4 and attacks.

if there are any dogs left bear will attack 1d20+4 damage 1d4+2

Which door?

[Derryn Rayle]

Derryn breaks off from the melee and slips towards the door in the leftmost tower. Pressing himself against the wall next to the door to avoid any more crossbow attacks, he reaches out and tests to see if the entrance is locked.

[Tayllon]

Tayllon heads to the center door.

[Lucian Z'ress]

"Stop playing with that puppy Keiran and lets move."
Confident that Keiran will end the remaining dog, Lucian takes off running on the heels of Tayllon, for the center door of the tower.

[DM JZ]

The crossbowman in the right tower shoots at Tayllon.

Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 - HIT

Keiran swung again, positively stunned that the dog had taken a blow from a halberd and was still attacking, and moreso, that it was doing more damage to the bear than vice versa.

Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

[DM JZ]

Note to Tayllon: Keiran's blow finishes off the dog.

[Derryn Rayle]

Derryn picks the lock on the door (if it's locked) and peers into the tower as sneakily as possible.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

[DM JZ]

The door is barred from behind.

[Lucian Z'ress]

"Open the door Tayllon, I'll cover you"

Lucian moves up to one side of the center door and readies an attack against anything that may come through once Tayllon opens the door

[Derryn Rayle]

Can I try and break down the door?

[DM JZ]

Strength check DC 25 to break down the door. Up to two guys can aid you.

[DM JZ]

Waiting on Derryn and Tayllon ...

[Tayllon]

Strength not being Tayllon's forte, he attempts to aid someone else in breaking down the door.

No one ever tried to open the center door yet. We technically don't know if it is barred from the other side. It may be open.

[Derryn Rayle]

Derryn lowers his shoulder and charges the door.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

[DM JZ]

Tayllon tries to open the main entrance. He finds that it is barred.

Keiran rushes to Derryn's side, and uses his last lay on hands healing ability for the day on him. "Let's get inside before those archers slaughter us! Mayhaps the bear can aid in smashing down the door?"

Healing 1d6 ⇒ 2

[Tayllon]

Tayllon calls bear to him and uses his wand on his brave and battered friend...
Cure light wounds 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Lucian is much stronger than Bear, I think he is our best bet for opening the door. Also, forgot I had the wand. Apologies to all, I will focus on healing the next few rounds.

[Lucian Z'ress]

Lucian puts all his weight and desire into the door

Strength check 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

will need just a little help from either Tayllon or Bear

[Tayllon]

Whoever is the first one there will help...

Bear 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Tayllon 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

[/ooc]Pretty obvious who the most useful one is in this case[/ooc]

[DM JZ]

Close enough. The door smashes open! And the bear should really be A LOT stronger than what they list in the Bestiary.

Waiting on Derryn now.

[Derryn Rayle]

Hearing a crash from where Lucian is battering the other door, and gasping from a crossbow bolt through a lung, Derryn retreats from the door he was at. He stumbles, bleeding, towards the door at the center of the tower, trying to find what cover he can.

[DM JZ]

The shooter to the right aims at Lucian ...

Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 - MISS

Lucian waits for Tayllon and Bear's to help bash in the door.

The shooter to the left aims at at Bear ...

Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 - MISS

Lucian, the Bear and Tayllon break down the door!

Derryn staggers to the central door.

Kieran runs to Derryn's side and imparts his final healing touch.

[DM JZ]

New round !

Inside, three swordsmen seem stunned by your arrival. They did not expect you to make it this far.

[Tayllon]

Did my wand use to heal bear not go off yet? If not then that is my action for this round, then heal Derryn at my next opportunity.

[DM JZ]

Oops, sorry. Bear's HP at the start of this round should be 10/27.

[Tayllon]

Tayllon wastes no time casting cure lights wounds on Derryn, then commands bear to attack the central swordsman.

CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Bite 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

[Keiran Sligoh]

Keiran enters the door and moves to the right, pointing his halberd at the man on the stairs. "Throw down your arms and yield!" he says. Keiran knows that some of his comrades won't appreciate him giving them the opportunity - but he knows he must at least give the enemy a chance to surrender.

Diplomacy 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

[Lucian Z'ress]

"I think the time for diplomacy is behind us my friend" says Lucian to Keiran, moving to engage the first two swordsmen. "Give us the signal book, and call off the attack Nessian and maybe you'll live to regret your mistakes!"

Intimidate 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12

Lucian moves to attack the first two swordsmen

Power Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

[DM JZ]

Lucian is shot at ...

Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 - MISS

Lucian enters the tower and slays the first man he sees with but a single stroke.

Keiran follows Lucian in. "Throw down your arms and yield!" he declares. The gangsters do not comply.

Bear is shot at ...

Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 - MISS

Tayllon heals Derryn, then commands Bear to attack. The angry ursine needs little prompting.

Not yet aware of his impending encounter with Bear, the frontmost swordsman hacks at Lucian ...

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 - MISS

Bear charges in and chomps down on the gangster. A geyser of blood erupts from his shoulder. But he is not dead ... yet.

Derryn moves to the doorway, eager to get out of the crossbowmen's sights.

The man in the back runs up the staircase, abandoning his fellows.

[DM JZ]

[Lucian Z'ress]

Follow him! yells Lucian to Keiran, pointing to the stairs. He then retaliates against the remaining swordsman.

Attack the remaining swordsman if the blow finishes him (or if is is dead before Lucian's turn) then use a move action to run up the stairs after Nessian

Power Attack1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 5) + 9 = 15

[Derryn Rayle]

Derryn draws and loads his crossbow and follows the others up the stairs, keeping an eye out for anyone coming up from behind.

[Keiran Sligoh]

Keiran nods to Lucien and follows the retreating man up the stairs, charging after him.
