The Da'mall - Kalo Empire

[Highwarlord]

Ghost

"We shall have to find a main entrance, unfortunately, to fit our gargantuan friend through. As there is only one such exit in the Upper Division of the city, it shall be a mite of a walk . . . I hope you all are up for it. The nearest entrance to us would be just to the southwest. Perhaps we should set out now, and then see about finding ourselves temporary lodgings in the upper city to clean up ourselves and observe. For the nonce, I believe it may be for the best if we were to acquire the attire of the sewer-jacks, so as to not arouse suspicion at our awkward entrance."

[xPANCAKEx]

Keysurr

"And how do you suggest we ... aquire such clothing?"

[Highwarlord]

Ghost

"As time appears to not be an issue, we can wait just outside the entrance to the sewers and ambush them as they arrive."

He looks briefly to the other members of the group before adding "Naturally we wouldn't need to kill them - simply incapacitate them swiftly, such that they cannot recognize us and allow us to take their uniforms."

[Annalia]

Carrea Tiff

"Right, like news o' that kind of attack wouldna spread quickly in the next few days? If we're to study th'dwarf's movements, we'll need somethin' that lasts - o' to find a good hideout o'er there."

[Zjackrum]

A polite cough from someone at the other tables suggests perhaps discussing murder in the tavern may not be the best of ideas, despite Ankouras' assurances that the bar is trustworthy.

The stereotypical fat bartender wanders over personally to your table and glances about with a worried expression.
"Can I be getting you anything else gents? Pardon..." He starts to trip over his words as he realizes there is a female present, "My'lady, I meant no disrespect... Are you going to be wanting rooms, perhaps? Friends of Mr. Groth are always welcome of course... Though I wonder if we have rooms that would suit people of your caliber, especially you, my large friend..."

Malachi, Whisper Gnome Rogue/Cleric

Malachi looked up at the bartender and thought for a moment. Did he know of any other inns closer to the planned entry point? Stalling for time while he thought, he began to haggle. "So, how much for rooms here? What, you ain't got a bed big enough for mountain-boy, here? Ye never rent a room to a couple eager for some 'private time'?" He nudged the bartender in the ribs and cackled rudely.

[Zjackrum]

As the bartender contemplates what he thinks is a weird joke, the door bursts open and a band of armed thugs enter the bar.
The leader, a burly fellow with dark hair and a dueling scar running down his face, scans the bar momentarily before settling on the group.
"There they are! Kalo scum!"

Roll for initiative!

THE MAP.


Explanation - Each map 'square' indicates 5" of space. Normally people cannot occupy the same space, but you're all jumbled together in the booth.
Miscellaneous Peasants (P) populate the bar, and don't roll initiative. They move after everyone else, if neccessary, otherwise they'll watch what they think is an entertaining bar fight.
As with my other games, please don't delay in posting your actions - post what you want to do ASAP. If neccessary, include multiple options > "I attack guard 1, unless X does this, then I attack guard 2"

[Highwarlord]

Ghost makes an odd smile at the entrance of the armed thugs. "Well this certainly adds interest to an interesting assignment."

Spoiler

Show

Do you want us to wait until those before us in initiative posted their actions before posting ours, or do you want us all to post and then just have you resolve them in order?

[Zjackrum]

Please post ASAP and I'll resolve it in initiative order, and then can DM the non-posters for the round. As mentioned, post multiple options based on what other people do, as opposed to waiting and seeing, otherwise combat takes about 5x longer.

[Highwarlord]

Ghost pulls his cloak up to cover his face and says in a low voice to the others in the group "I'm going to circle around and strike at these thugs from behind." He then picks up his gear and, as soon as the others in his group make way, makes a dash towards the kitchens. He sprints across the way and rolls between the civilians when necessary.

start rage - char sheet adjusted:
http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetvie...sheetid=107960
will last 7 rounds

move to square next to 3 and c with 1 on a diagonal - incur AoO from C unless he's used his already somehow... doubt it

attack 3 with a power attack of -2 (so thats -2 to hit, +2 to damage)
attack - (1d20+10)[26] - crit on 19-20 ... damage= x2
crit - (1d20+10)[13]
damage - (2d6+12)[17]
crit damage - (2d6+12)[22] - only apply on crit hit

if that takes 3 down, attack 1 next (cleave)
power attack of -2 (so thats -2 to hit, +2 to damage) carries over
attack - (1d20+10)[14] - crit on 19-20 ... damage= x2
crit - (1d20+10)[19]
damage - (2d6+12)[22]
crit damage - (2d6+12)[19] - only apply on crit hit

if that takes down 1, attack c (cleave)
power attack of -2 (so thats -2 to hit, +2 to damage) carries over
attack - (1d20+10)[13] - crit on 19-20 ... damage= x2
crit - (1d20+10)[15]
damage - (2d6+12)[20]
crit damage - (2d6+12)[21] - only apply on crit hit

if 3 already down, or square occupied, apply as best you can, hitting a goon first, making the captain the last step in the chain

hope that makes sense... and hope the math gods smile on me

Malachi, Whisper Gnome Cleric/Rogue

Malachi snarled to Correa in a harsh whisper, "I don't like how they've figgered out who hired us. Somebody's been talkin', and I might have to have words with elf-boy about it." Pulling out some spell components, he asked, "You feel like sticking around and sticking it to 'em, or we should just slide on out the other way?"

OOC:
Whatever Correa's response, Malachi cast Hold Person on Scarface. DC 15

If C. wants to leave, Malachi will cast Obscuring Mist to cover their retreat and then sneak out the back way (no sense assuming they don't have all the doors covered).

If C. wants to fight, Malachi will sigh heavily, and prepare to cover her back with some flanking and sneak attacks.

[Annalia]

Carrea Tiff

"I feel like lookin' at what th'others can do," Carrea answered with a smirk, her voice low. She pulled up a chair and sat backward on it, calling out loud as if she was talking to Malachi. "Hey, buddy! It be lookin' like a bar fight!"

[Bandededed]

Galled by the arrow to the chest, Fengs lets loose a mighty war cry as he snatches up his War Cleaver. "You fools won't live through this!" he yells, punctuating his cry with a great swing of the cleaver as he lets his anger boil over.

The map isn't very updated . Feng rages and attacks the nearest enemy.

HP: 63/68. AC 12, touch 8, ff 11. Saves: Fort +10, Ref +2, Will +3
Conditions: Rage [8 rounds]

[Highwarlord]

Once inside the kitchen, Ghost keeps his hood up around his face and bolts out through the door he used to enter the inn, circling around the establishment to return to the back of the entrance now crowded with guards.

Spoiler

How far of a run is it going to be before Ghost gets to the other side of the entrance to the inn?

Also, running lets Ghost move 4x his speed, so he would move 120' rather than 30'. Sorry if I didn't make that clear in the first post.

[Highwarlord]

Ghost takes quick but controlled breaths as he sprints out of the kitchen, cutting sharply at the corners until the main entrance is visible. Once on the appropriate side, he slows down and, still moving, unslings his crossbow. Whispering lightly to the weapon, he loads it slowly as he moves over to the front of the inn, padding along the ground lightly.
