Since he hasn't acted yet, that means he's currently flat-footed, and my Knight's code prevents me from attacking him. I will therefore delay until directly after him.

[Moranica]

The barbarian charges and swings the sword at William. [roll0]; [roll1]; [roll2].

2. William
3. Vanton, Aria, Alek

[IronWilliam]

I look around to see if there's a rock or sturdy stick on the ground. If there is, I'll take a move action to grab it and a standard action to attack. I'll assume either works like an improvised club.

[danc]

Alek gets up and moves 10ft away from the barbarian he then casts ray of frost [roll0]

[IronWilliam]

Here's my attack (wielding weapon 2-handed): [roll0] [roll1]

[Drynwyn]

The green-cloaked Druid makes a quick gesture to his wolf, which lunges at the barbarian, fangs bared. He moves away from the fearsome barbarian (60 ft, directing the wolf to perform a known trick is free.

Wolf moves and attacks the barbarian, I chose "attack" as myb1 bonus trick. [roll0] damage: [roll1] Trip attempt [roll2]

[Moranica]

Barbarian tries to resist the trip. [roll0], but fails and is now on the ground.

[IronWilliam]

Did I hit?

[Moranica]

Yup, as did the wolf. :smallmad:

[danc]

alek moves forward forward and attempts to hit the barbarian unarmed [roll0]
[roll1] non lethal damage if he hits.

[IronWilliam]

And since the barbarian is prone, he cannot make an attack of opportunity against you.

[danc]

really? i thought he just took it at a penalty but if he doesnt get one at all then thats great. :smallsmile:EDIT ok my bad and i was gona refrain from casting the 1st levels unless necessary which considering he is downed with a wolf and knight within range he didnt seem that much of a threat.

[Drynwyn]

alek moves forward forward and attempts to hit the barbarian unarmed [roll0]
[roll1] non lethal damage if he hits.

Not your initiative count, buddy. We need Dabone to post. Also, cast Sleep or charm person on him, I bet he has a bad will save.

[dabone]

As Aria opens her eyes and looks at the chaos around her she tries to remember.. but the headache isn't helping much.

Man.. why am I'm always getting into trouble, surely it can only get better fro...

As if the gods heard her and laughed, the wild man rushed out from the bushes.


Offcourse...

I don't see anyone using actions to stand up, we are standing allready?

Looking carefully around the battlefield for a chance, Aria tries to keep some distance from this obviously ill-tempered man.

Okay come on Aria, you can do it, making one perfect action is better then twenty failed ones...it's five vs. one, what can possibly go wrong?..
...Maybe I shouldn't have said that..

Truly impressed by the actions of the others, Aria sees the man fall down to the ground taking one hit after another. Then all of a sudden she sees the sword.

now!


I rush at the prone barbarian trying to disarm him
Since he is prone, he can't make a aoo? anyway it's your call, but I don't think a prone character should get the +4 for wielding a two handed weapon since he isn't holding it with two hands at the moment.. (at least as how I imaging someone lying on the ground who has a two handed sword, that would just look silly, but still its up to the DM) (wait now I'm confused since it works with opposed attack rolls.. so that means he should get the +4 for two handed weapon,but a -4 for attacking while prone..lol I'm very good at confusing myself)
Still I get a -4 for trying to do it with an unarmed strike but a +4 on the attack roll because he is prone, so thats around a +1 total
[roll0]

[Moranica]

I don't see anything on srd about no AoO while prone. Also, we are using initiative blocks yes, but you can't take two turns in 1 round.

He wields the sword single handed.

You can start either up or prone, whichever you like. :smallbiggrin:

Summary so far:
William delays
Barbarian attacks William
William attack barbarian
Alek casts ray of frost (damage?) This one was to early, William delayed till after the barbarian, so before your block.
Vanton had his wolf attack
Alek attacks barbarian (still the same round, so doesn't go). You can make a new post/action + roll next round.
Aria tries to disarm and get AoO'd.
Barbarian attacks wolf while remaining prone (this will happen in this post)

AoO on Aria, including the -4. [roll0] ; [roll1]

Barbarian strikes at wolf. [roll2]; [roll3]

1. William
2. Vanton, Aria, Alek
3. Barbarian

[IronWilliam]

I hit him with whatever improvised weapon I've picked up. [roll0] [roll1]
Edit: Darn it!!!!

[Drynwyn]

Vanton's wolf leaps aside from the barbarian's attack, and lunges at his throat.
[roll0][roll1][roll2]

[dabone]

What Aria thought was a great idea turned out to be a disaster. hoping the barbarian was unable to attack her from the ground she leaped right at the sword, with a simple flick of the hand, the barbarian impales Aria.

As the blood flows over her uncovered belly Aria's world starts to turn, her eyes closing and her mind falling.

So it could get worse...dying here without glory between a group of people who don't even know my name..

In slow-motion the battle continues, sounds in the distance.

well at least I died fighting....maybe....maybe I'll even go to heaven...hah, who am I kiddin'...

with a faint smile on her face Aria drops to the ground, a pool of blood slowly starting to form around her.

[Drynwyn]

Drynwyn, seeing the bard fall, dashes over to her. He speaks a few quick syllables and lays a hand on her. A glow of positive energy suffuses her, curing her wounds.
Move action to move to, standard spent Casting Vigor on the bard. She regenerates one hit point immediately, meaning she is now only disabled, and continues to heal 1 point for round for 9 rounds.

[Moranica]

Vanton's wolf leaps aside from the barbarian's attack, and lunges at his throat.
[roll0][roll1][roll2]Would you like him, to be extra prone? :smallsmile:

You notice the barbarian is now seriously hurt and has trouble moving.

[Moranica]

The dogs seem to be blinking of some sort. Before you realize what's happening they vanish into thin air, only to appear behind you and try to bite you.

Dog1 attacks William [roll0]. [roll1]; [roll2]
Dog2 has a go at Alek [roll3]. [roll4]; [roll5]

[IronWilliam]

Since we now know they're blink dogs, I'll drop my sword as a free action, but then use total defense to increase my AC to 16.
Halt! We mean no harm!
Even if they don't understand me, they should get the idea from me droping my weapon.
Edit: total defense increases my AC to 18, not 16

[dabone]

Aria lookes shocked to William.

What the.. are you allright? Why the hell did you drop you sword. Are you out of your mind? We mean no harm? for the love of gods, you are talking to dogs. angry chewing on our teammate dogs...you don't talk to them, you stick pointy things inside of them! multiple times if possible!

Aria takes a step back from the closest dog. (5 foot step)

then I'll start a bardic music (singing) to inspire courage, singing about the mighty vangaurd defeating any challenge they meet.

(for the heck of it, I'll roll to see how good it sounds, even though it will work no matter how good or bad it is.) [roll0]


(wow I cant seem to roll any good, first natural 1 noted! :P, guess I sound like a trainwreck today..)







p.s. Sorry I wasn't aware we were using the old battlethread for this... otherwise I would have posted sooner.

[IronWilliam]

They're not regular dogs, in case you hadn't noticed the dimensional blinking! They're highly intelligent magical beasts who are normally friendly!

[danc]

alek casts sleep trying to catch both the dogs in the radius [roll0]
EDIT sorry i didnt know that at the time i was away from any resources so i guessed. and yes that was my DC roll :) sorry i have been stretched for time recently should be fine until monday though

[Moranica]

DC? It can only affect one as 1 dog is 4 HD

Will saves [roll0]; [roll1]

Vanton steps away(5-foot step) and gestures to his wolf, who leaps at the awake wolf.

would you bloody do your job and kill or at least stop them already mr morals? alek then attempts to cast sleep again. defensively
[roll0] i belive the check to succeed is 16 :smallsmile:

[dabone]

Aria will wait to see what William does. if he doesn't go for the sword but instead does anything else, she will try to grab the sword and if possible attacks.

(She really isn't effective in combat and I can only seem to roll low, so this is gonna be fun:P)


edit : in that case I will keep singing and enjoying the combat ;)

[IronWilliam]

Sorry, but I'm going for the sword now. I would have liked to have the blink dogs as allies, but now that Drywyn has responded with lethal force it seems unlikely. I'l grab the sword as a move action, then attack as a standard action.
[roll0] (wielded two handed, +1 for inspire courage)
[roll1].
I don't think blink would affect the sleep spell, as blink only helps against single target spells and sleep can hit multiple, (I'm not totally sure) so I'll attack the awake one. If they're both awake, I'll attack D2.
Edit: I get +1 damage for the bard song, so I do 13 damage, not 12.
Edit2: I'l use my fighting challenge special ability against the dog, so I gain a +1 to attack, damage, and will saves. It's a swift action, so I'l use it before I attack and deal 14 points of damage.

[Drynwyn]

Vanton's wolf yips as it is bitten by the blink dog, then growls and bites him back.

[danc]

welll.... just leave it here? its on its own now and doesnt pose a threat even if it was stupid enough to attack there is no reason to kill it its not its fault its stupid

[IronWilliam]

I don't think we should just leave it here for several reasons. The first is that canine creatures often live in packs, so there could be more around. Drywyn will confirm that they are intelligent and usually friendly, and if we just leave this one here after killing one the pack may attack us if we tried to settle here. Secondly, if we're going to survive we will need allies. Single blink dog, let alone a pack would be a powerful friend to have. Their unique abilities make them useful for many purposes. I suggest we wait around it unarmed so when it wakes up it won't be threatened. Even if it were hostile, we could easily dispatch it. We have nothing to lose and much to gain.

[danc]

oh? mr knight looking for opportunities to gain over the well being of the blink dog a minute ago you seemed about ready to get yourself killed for it. if we leave it it wont get killed and if we stay with no way to communicate and having killed its partner it will probably follow soon.
(to the IC thread!)

[Moranica]

Alright, post those surprise round actions!

[danc]

umm im going to go with the time tested sleep on nearest enemy :smallbiggrin:

[dabone]

I'm going with the roll knowledge (anything) roll to find out what this creatures are (look on my sheet and add the bonus that should count or discard this roll if I don't have that knowledge : [roll0] + ?

and besides that I will inspire william with fantastic courage and tell him how awesome his muscles look like when he swings that sword.

[IronWilliam]

I charge the nearest creature (second nearest if Alek put the nearest to sleep)
[roll0]-to hit
[roll1]-damage
Aww... Bad damage roll

You're best bet would be that they are some kind of demons. They way they tear at the carcass tells you, they are lethal on downed enemies.

[Moranica]

Alek manages to hit all the creatures with his sleep spell. Although it can only affect two of them.

[roll0], [roll1], [roll2], [roll3], [roll4], [roll5]

William charges one the awake creatures, hitting it hard, but not killing it. The wolf comes right behind him, finishing the thing off.

Just one surprise round and half the creatures are immobilised or dead.

Team slaughter strikes again! :smallbiggrin:

Before any of the creatures realises it two of the beast are dead, chopped and bitten to pieces. Two other somehow fell asleep, right before the carnage went on. This leaves only two creatures remaining. They look very agressive and lunge at the assailents.

One of them opens it mouth (half it's body) and bites at William ([roll0]; [roll1]), while the other has a go at the wolf ([roll2]; [roll3]).

damage : [roll0]

edit : uh oh.... not a good time for failing dice :p anyway a whooping 3 damage and a fortitude save or die..

[dabone]

okay I have a blackout, it's a critical hit so I roll twice for damage per the PHB

extra damage : [roll0]


so that would be 3+4=7 damage and a DC 17 fortitude save or die

[Moranica]

DC 17 fort save [roll0]

One of the sleeping creatures is stabbed to death.

Ha! You'll have to do better then that to put scratch on me, beast!
Maybe this time I can stab it.

sadly it gets a +4 to avoid that but i have no wish to die.

we are not judging, its no problem, it just was that we are waiting for the post, even if you don't do anything :)

I thought it was a very brave attemp killing that beast.. what if it made it save and woke up? you would have run and we would have had a problem :p

[danc]

i would not have run ! also it came out at exaclt 50/50 i think for it dying so it was worth trying :smalltongue: and if it had woken up i would have retroactivly multiclassed to monk :smallamused: at least i can get a damage spell next level ! :)

A cloud of leaves, snapping branches and a crashing sound announces the arrival of the creature. It keens senses allowed it to follow it's prey, and it's not about the give up now. It is a large creature, with baleful eyes and elongated jaws full of overlarge teeth. Patches of scaly hide show through its coarse, shaggy fur, and a row of curving spines juts from its backbone. Its long, warty tail is equipped with a vicious stinger.

If I am with the rest of the group, I will move and attack the middle one.

[Moranica]

Only Drynwyn saw the creatures. So you had no idea of knowing wether they were humanoid or not, so I used the first action you posted. Seconds later, the group was spotted as the spotter advanced.

[Drynwyn]

I convert a MSS to Summon Nature's ally 2 as a full- round,summoning [roll0] wolves. Will have to double post their(and my animal companions) actions, depending on number summoned.

[Drynwyn]

Meant to sudden extend that... Can I do so now?
I summon the wolves flanking the leftmost creature laterally, and the other one to the lower right(two squares behind the demon in front) p. My companion moves to flank with the third summoned wolf, and all attack.

Wolf 2 CRIT: [roll0]

[IronWilliam]

In character, my knight would hardly stop and let his allies walk into a potentially dangerous situation without him at the front to take the hits. I assumed when Drnwyn pointed them out to us we all saw them, and could identify if they were humanoid.

[dabone]

monsters summoned from a summon spell apear the round after they are summoned drynwyn. so this tactic won't work for now, but a group of wolves would be very handy, so please go ahead :)

anyway it is how it is william, so I suggest that you hustle to the right side :p

[Drynwyn]

the summoned creatures appear immediately, and act on your turn
That's what ist says in the spell description.. Am I missing something?

[dabone]

true true but the casting time is 1 round, so you take 1 round casting (and taking concentration checks if needed) and at the start of your next turn (when you finish casting) they appear and can act immediatly and you also have your entire turn left.


edit : but damn those rolls were good...

[Drynwyn]

When they appear, I'll use those same rolls... But my animal companion still gets an attack...Same roll, bit -2 to the end result because he's not flanking.

[IronWilliam]

I charge the middle demon:
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Moranica]

As both groups see eachother they spring into action. William is first to act, taking a sidestep and launching in a dangerous charge attack. It fails to hit the small creature though.

Next up is Vanton, who starts a powerful summoning magic. At the same time, he orders his animal companion to charge. The large wolf immediatly attacks, easily biting the creature and trying to trip it. [roll0] Strangely enough, the creature seems to be unharmed from the attack.

Both demons take revenge upon their attacker, using their full attack abilities.

[IronWilliam]

Accidentally rolled a d20 for damage, re-rolling. Use the first roll for my attack.
[roll0]

[dabone]

[IronWilliam]

Drynwyn and Danc, you need to post.

[danc]

five foot step away from the demons ( i can do that and cast a spell right?)

[Drynwyn]

Wolf 2 Crit threat!
Confirm:[roll0]
EDIT: forgot brdic music again.. That makes it a 17.

[IronWilliam]

Yay! I get a backhand swing!
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Moranica]

William swings hard at the creature he just missed. And hits in the side. This time, the creature looks hurt.

With a puff of smoke and a last few spoken words from Vanton, three wolves appear. Together with the animal companion they attack, biting at the demons. Two them hit, but only the summoned wolf seems to actually hurt the demon, biting the thing in his exposed soft belly. On the other hand, the animal companion brings his target down on the ground.

All the while Vanton has taken his chance at launching some more of his magic, and suddenly William and two of the wolves attack again! Again, William and the animal companion hit. But while William manages to bring down his opponent, the wolf fails to do any damage.

Two small balls of energy leave the fingertips of Alek and hit the creature left, next to William, doing considerable damage.

Both demons realise they are in trouble and try to call for help. The one near William steps away before doing so, but the other doesn't, as he is lying on the ground. [roll0]; [roll1] Both succeed! And two more demons appear.

Aria keeps singing and steps next to Vanton, readying a attack if any of those demons comes in her range. Sonja stays behind the group, full defense.

[danc]

realising that william may not be able to weather the onslaught alone alek steps forward back towards the fight.
noting the gash in one of the creatures belly alek takes aim at a similar point upon the one attacking william try and focus bringing one down! we may as well focus on the already injured ones for now
5 ft step back towards and magic missile

The AoO's fail to do any damage, even though all of them hit. And you can't trip a tripped creature. :smallbiggrin:

[IronWilliam]

I'll 5 ft. Step and attack the triped creature.
[roll0]
[roll1]
Dang, not getting through DR with that.

[IronWilliam]

[IronWilliam]

I repeat my action and offcourse I meant that I keep boosting my allies (A)

funny that nobody noticed it :p


don't be afraid guys, if this round still nothing changes in the battle, I will break away from my position and start pounding some demon ass with the chance of doing some minor damage1 :p

[danc]

does it effect spells?

[dabone]

if an attack is required it gives a +1 on the attack but not on the damage.

it doesn't give a +1 on the saving throw or something.

[danc]

ahhh okay any way onwards to victory :smallbiggrin:

[IronWilliam]

Attack!
[roll0]
[roll1]

[IronWilliam]

CONFIRMING MY CRIT!!!

[Moranica]

Both Wiliam and the wolves dish out some damage, but not enough to kill.

how far away am i from the demon attacking william? can i step towards and provide a flanking bonus or is that a dumb idea?

[Moranica]

You are close enough. Wether or not something is smart is up to you. :smallbiggrin:

[dabone]

"try to defend yourselve Sonja!"

Aria rushes towards one of the wounded deamons and tries to be usefull

"why...won't....you...DIE!!!!"

Aria keeps slashing the demon...

attack [roll0] damage [roll1]


well that is a anti-climax..

[IronWilliam]

We're hardly hurting these things. It may be best to fall back. Also, I wouldn't mind some healing magic.
I'll take a swing at the same one again.

well that is a anti-climax..

:smallbiggrin:

[danc]

could 2 of the wolves trip the other two demons perhaps so at least they will have less chance of hurting us ... as for falling back are they not half dead ? whats our injury tally like?

[IronWilliam]

I've taken 11 damage, but they are chipping away at us and we're not really hurting them.

[dabone]

Maybe we could have our heavy jitters focus on 1 of them at a time, if 1 is down we would have a m
uch easier time

[danc]

hmm yes although you still have lots of CLW left right :) and i still have 2 casts of magic missile i belive but i was keeping them in reserve.

[IronWilliam]

Bust out the magic misssiles and then the wolves can try to trip. If we still don't make any progress, then I'll switch to using my b-sword 2 handed in a few rounds.

[dabone]

Drynwyn's turn right? btw I don't think the wolves will be here for long..

[Drynwyn]

I used a sudden extend, they have 2 rounds after this, I think.
Wolf 1 and 2 attack one non prone demon(nearest one),
Wolf 3 and AC attack slightly farther demon,.
[roll0][roll1][roll2]
[roll3][roll4][roll5]
[roll6][roll7][roll8]
[roll9][roll10][roll11]
order is 1, 2,3, AC.

[Drynwyn]

CRIT conf and damage- also, forgot bard on damage, all add one.
[roll0]

[Moranica]

The battle continues. Aria barely misses her own foot. William does a lot better and manages to hurt the demon a bit. Three of the wolves hit as well, although only one manages to deal some damage. Trips [roll0] ; [roll1]; [roll2] Both standing demons go down and lay prone.

[Moranica]

Something changes in the groups demeneor. There resolve has picked up, and even Aria is dishing out damage. All the group members manage to deal some damage, killing two of the demons.

The only demons left senses the change in atmosphere, add the two deaths of the other demons and tries to make a run for it. That is, gets up and moves 30 ft away from the group.

CHARGE!
I'll charge the fleeing demon.
[roll0]
[roll1]

[dabone]

Since Aria is certain that William can take the last demons, she checks with Sonja if she is okay, then checking the surrounding for more unwelcome guests/creatures watching us (figuring we probably want to rest here)



woww I'm not good at that, owh well...

Spot : [roll0]
Listen : [roll1]

[Moranica]

Williams charge nearly beheads the demon, leaving it bleeding heavily, but still moving.

Just some info, your round is not over.

[IronWilliam]

Me? Cause my round is definitely over. Drynwyn and Danc need to post.

[danc]

nothing i can really do xD we need a wolf rush on that thing check the OOC :smalltongue:

[Drynwyn]

EDIT: Whoops, got distracted by he seeming unkilliballity of these demons, didn't read.
Vanton has his wolf stand down. He's TN and sees little point in chasing down a single demon p, given that a) the abyss contains an infinite number of them and b) seeing as they will be travelling on, it's unlikely it will bring forces down on their heads.
Just staying in charachter,.

[Moranica]

The creature continues moving in a rapid fashion, while it is making horrible sounds.

William can still make a ranged attack or keep following.

[IronWilliam]

I posted in the ooc by accident. Read it there, then it's your move, Moranica.

[Moranica]

The charge misses, and the creature backs away again, this time running.

AoO for you

[IronWilliam]

AoO
[roll0]
[roll1]

[Moranica]

The creature makes a run for it, but turning it's back on William proves fatal. A blow from behind kills it. The unnatural quiet returns again after the sounds of battle have faded.

800 xp each!
