Mainly trying to give them shadow to hide in with the light by putting it to my right front with them on the left. (or vise versa) Not so much range as concealment. Probably going to fail. :)
Male Human Fighter / 5
Rilendo puts away his sword and shield and ready his bow.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Gorgowzowa's perception to see detail of soldiers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 (DC is abstract, between noticing a visible creature and a whispered conversation. Maybe DC 11? +1/10 ft.; you can notice this at 50'.)
Since you are closing to 60 ft. you cannot make this out yet. I originally thought DC 13, but changed it down to 11, then saw the roll.
Male Human, Ranger/5 Riken HP: 42/42; Paka HP: 32/32

Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Dae-Lhach, Riken and Rilendo stand back at a distance of 120' from the soldiers (Dae-Lhach at A-1; Riken at B-1 and Rilendo at C-1), while Gorgowzowa approaches with the lit sunrod (Gorgowzowa stands at [ii]C-13[/i], holding the sunrod to his right). Paka follows Gorgowzowa at his side (at B-13).
The soldiers are meandering 60 ft. ahead of Gorgowzowa (Soldier A at A-25; Soldier B at B-25).
Gorgowzowa, waiting to make some signal, ponders who will make the first move, as he sees the soldiers appear to speak to one another:
Perception, 60 ft.: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 (DC 15+6=21; failure)
The two nod and move to one another, and make a charge toward Gorgowzowa.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
GM note, Invisibility at minimum caster level (i.e. potion) lasts 3 minutes, so while Gorgowzowa was scouting ahead, Riken's become visible again.

First round of Combat:
Initiative changes with readied actions to just before the acting party. Paka is not pre-emptively attacking, so he's holding his action. So, I will just write up the adjusted initiative from the get-go.
Readied actions take effect:
Rilendo, barely seeing the approaching enemies, takes a shot:
Short bow attack vs. Soldier B: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 2 = 7 (miss)
concealment miss chance; low bad: 1d10 ⇒ 8
Riken, seeing Rilendo shoot, takes his shot:
Composite longbow attack vs. Soldier B: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 2 = 15 (EDIT: miss)
concealment miss chance; low bad: 1d10 ⇒ 7
Dae-Lhach, seeing the soldiers clearly, shoots at the leftmost Soldier:
crossbow attack vs. Soldier A: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 (miss)
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
The rest of the round proceeds:
Soldier A acts:
The first soldier charges at Paka (moving to B-14):
Soldier A's attack on Paka: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 = 17 (miss)
Soldier B acts:
The second soldier charges at Gorgowzowa.
Gorgowzowa's readied action is to move 5 feet back (to C-12).
The charge continues (moving the soldier to C-13), provoking an attack from Paka:
Paka's AoO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 (hit)
Soldier B's attack on Gorgowzowa: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 = 18 (miss)
Paka acts
Gorgowzowa's initiative was moved
Male Human, Ranger/5 Riken HP: 42/42; Paka HP: 32/32
Don't forget the +2 to hit and damage for favored enemy. That'd be 11 damage.
I also didn't see Paka's damage for the AoO.
AoO Bite Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Leapord
Paka deftly avoids the soldier's charge and spring on him with lightening speed.
Full Attack
Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Bite Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Claw x1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Claw x1 Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw x2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Claw x2 Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

End of round.
Second round of Combat:
The round proceeds as follows:
Rilendo acts
Riken acts
Dae-Lhach acts
Soldier A acts
Gorgowzowa acts
Soldier B acts
Paka acts
Male Human, Ranger/5 Riken HP: 42/42; Paka HP: 32/32
"Paka, heel." Riken commands. "There's only two of them, I want you out of harms way for now.
Handle Animal: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28
Hold action until Paka has disengaged
Male Orc/Human Monk/5
I'm confused. Paka's attack, was that in surprise round or queued for next round? If surprise, guessing no claws, but does get trip? Does the AoO from Paka have trip chance? Trying to figure out who is up and who is down and where. Not sure if the guy charging is actually on me or if Paka might have tripped him, etc.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
There was no surprise round, just readied actions. Everyone was aware of everyone.
Paka's missed AoO trip attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 (does not trip)
Male Orc/Human Monk/5
Ok, cool. I was so lost. Lol. Thanks.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Sorry about that. Basically, initiative rolls were worthless.
Male Half-Elf (Lvl 5) Cleric - 4/Rogue - 1
Dae-Lhach is confused by Riken calling back Paka,Maybe he can't see what is happening in the dark. Dea-Lhach comments, Let the cat do what it can, or at least move up to take his place. You are leaving Gorgowzowa unaided".
Male Human, Ranger/5 Riken HP: 42/42; Paka HP: 32/32
"No, my aim is not true enough to shoot into a fight. I want Paka to back off to open that guy up for a few arrows while we close some distance." Riken flashes Dae-Lhach a sly grin. "Then we charge together."
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Per IMs, Rilendo acts as follows:
Rilendo moves (double move to B-12), dropping his bow and drawing his longsword and shield as he moves.
Riken holds his action, awaiting Paka's arrival.
Dae-Lhach is next.
Male Half-Elf (Lvl 5) Cleric - 4/Rogue - 1
Dae-Lhach reloads his crossbow and moves forward to A7.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
I'm not going to enforce any of the map as difficult terrain since it's a Photoshop append job.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
The soldier engaging Paka (Soldier A) swings powerfully (Power Attack) at Paka:
Greatclub attack vs. Paka: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 2 = 18 (hit)
Greatclub damage: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 6 = 14
The soldier emits a unnerving laugh of pleasure at the yelp that Paka emits upon the powerful hit.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1

Male Orc/Human Monk/5
Gorgowzowa unleashes a flurry of slaps.
Body Blow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Front Kick: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
The soldier facing Gorgowzowa takes the full impact of body blow and staggers (not the condition), followed by the kick.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
The second soldier (Soldier B) makes a mighty swing (Power Attack) with his greatclub:
Soldier B vs. Gorgowzowa: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 2 = 13 (miss)
Paka acts:
I don't see how Paka would be called to have taken a tactical retreat here, unfortunately
Per Riken's instruction, Paka turns to flee from his attacker, who takes an opportune strike as his prey pulls back:
Soldier A's attack of opportunity: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 2 = 15 (miss)
Similarly, the soldier engaging Gorgowzowa notices the fleeing cat and makes an attack during the opportunity:
Soldier B's attack of opportunity: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 = 11 (miss)
As the cat continues to flee, he takes another:
Soldier B's attack of opportunity: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 = 12 (miss)
Paka flees to A location behind Riken (to square B-0, and will follow behind him).
Riken takes his action now
Male Human, Ranger/5 Riken HP: 42/42; Paka HP: 32/32
Riken moves forward to B-7 and takes aim shot.
Longbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
End of second round.
Third round of combat:
Rilendo acts
Dae-Lhach acts
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Per IM:
Rilendo steps up (5' step to B-13) to attack the soldier formerly engaging Paka (Soldier A) and attacks with his sword and shield:
longsword attack: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 = 11 (miss)
shield attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 = 22 (hit)
shield damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Male Orc/Human Monk/5
Gorgowzowa will eventually reposition himself north five feet and attack the soldier to the south east.
Face Palm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Foot Stomp: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Male Half-Elf (Lvl 5) Cleric - 4/Rogue - 1
Dea-Lhach casts bless. 50' range so I think everyone should be covered from where I'm at, but I'll move forward if needed to catch everyone.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Dae-Lhach, that should hit everyone, so you can stay at A-7.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Seeing the heavily armored fighter in front of him, the soldier engaging Rilendo (Soldier A) swings his great club in a flashy display, attempting to intimidate his foe:
Soldier A's intimidate: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 (DC 16; success)
Rilendo is shaken by the display (-2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks).
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Gorgowzowa swiftly repositions himself behind Rilendo, engaging the second soldier. He swings an open palm, but misses swiftly in such a way that he slaps his own face (creative editing after the miss?). His follow-up kick lands solidly, however.
His opponent (Soldier B) counters the attack with a swing from his greatclub:
Soldier B's attack vs. Gorgowzowa: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 (hit)
Soldier B's damage vs. Gorgowzowa: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Paka acts:
Having been commanded by his master to stay close, he takes no action and holds to follow Riken (moving initiative after Riken).
Riken acts
Male Human, Ranger/5 Riken HP: 42/42; Paka HP: 32/32
Riken looks down at the big cat dutifully following. "Ok, Paka, we go together now. You take that one." he says pointing to Soldier A.
Handle Animal: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17
With reluctance, Riken drops his bow. With a sudden burst and a guttural yell he charges at Soldier B pulling out his axe along the way. With his full might he chops down at his opponent.
Charge to C-12, Power Attack
Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 + 2 = 22 base, bless, charge, power attack, favored enemy
Damage: 1d12 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 24 base, power attack, favored enemy
Leapord
Paka springs into action. Deftly moving up and around the people in his way.
Move to A-13 and Attack
Bite: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 = 16
I assume that missed but its just in case...
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Trip: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Riken charges his target and lands a solid blow. To his astonishment, the target looks inhuman.
Paka takes to his target and attacks, barely able to maul his target. The trip is successful.
End of round

Fourth round of combat:
Rilendo acts
Dae-Lhach acts
Male Orc/Human Monk/5
Gorgowzowa leans into Rilendo.
"Move into flank, Rilendo; my path is dangerous."
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
I will move things along on to a new round at around 8:00 PM CST.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Per IM, "Rilendo does a regular attack with his sword because of his fear he isn't confident in using his shield." I guess that would be Soldier A.
Rilendo takes a shaky attack with his longsword at the intimidating foe in front of him (Soldier A):
Rilendo's longsword attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 14 (hit)
Rilendo's damge: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Male Half-Elf (Lvl 5) Cleric - 4/Rogue - 1
Dae-Lhach moves into burst range if needed.
Male Half-Elf (Lvl 5) Cleric - 4/Rogue - 1
Holding fire as everyone is in the way
Male Orc/Human Monk/5
Gorgowzowa, growls and spins out of engagement from the soldier at the south side of the tunnel, and continues his spin around north to behind the prone soldier.
Provokes AoO from both; B then A.
Acrobatics to Avoid AoO B: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Acrobatics to Avoid AoO A: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Assuming I live...
Snap Kick: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
Correction: finish off around 10:00 PM due to Starship Troopers RiffTrax in theaters.
Male Human Sorcerer 2, Cleric 1
The prone soldier (Soldier A) makes a mighty swing (Power Attack) at the cat that tripped him, knowing it is his greatest threat so far:
Soldier A's attack on Paka: 1d20 + 10 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 4 - 2 = 24 (hit; critical threat)
Soldier A's confirmation: 1d20 + 10 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 4 - 2 = 24 (you're kidding me)
Greatclub damage: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 6 = 14
Greatlcub critical damage: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 = 19
... AC's dead.
The soldier then stands (provoking only one attack of opportunity from Rilendo), and Rilendo takes the attack:
Rilendo's AoO: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 29 (hit; critical threat... seriously?)
Rilendo's AoO: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 29 (confirmed; the fug?)
Rilendo's AoO damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Rilendo's AoO critical damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
... what. the. hell? ...
