The beast screams and goes down under Danath's greatsword.
Combat's still on though, because Solomon's still crazier then a BASE jumper with a gauze parachute.
(Pity, I was going to have it glare at someone, then burrow away. Oh yeah, he can burrow)

[Wind d8/d12]

After Grishpot...

Claes runs over and tries to kick Solomon's feet out from under him.
Trip attempt!
Touch attack (1d20+3)[4]
Tripper Str vs. Str or Dex of the Tripee [roll]1d20+5[/roll] (+1 for STR +4 for Imp. Trip.
and I choose to forgo the free attack on the way down!

Crit miss! Maybe I'll accidentally hit a friend and get him anyway...
((OOC: afk for a few, driving home))

[Altaria87]

[[Still crazy...
Oh, and with the skeletons, my Warhammer was bludgeoning anyway]]

[Omegonthesane]

((When it's my turn))

Michael grinned to see the ugly thing go down, then realised Solomon was still being a problem. Finally, a chance to attack the paladin. He ran behind Solomon, sheathing his rapier in favour of a sap, and swung to clout the man over the head.

Changing your weapon is a move action. You can't do it and get behind him.

Changing your weapon is a move action. You can't do it and get behind him.

I have BAB +3, so I can move and draw a new weapon at the same time as a move action. Ctrl+F and find "Draw or Sheathe a Weapon".

Unless you want to houserule an exception..?

[Balthazar]

It's more that I figured your sap would not be in easy reach.
EDIT: Since it's not something you normally carry in a belt, and you already have two others.

[Jair Barik]

I'll knock some sense into im!

Grishgot walks up to the paladin and bashes him with his shield.

EDIT: Since it's not something you normally carry in a belt, and you already have two others.

((The bow counts as a stored item, sure, but I'd expect light weapons to be carried on the belt - even a sap, because there's little point having a backup weapon you can't pull at a moment's notice. I could say I sneak attack with the rapier instead if you really want.

EDIT: Jair, Wind, do you have any cure spells prepared? Even Cure Minor would be enough to stabilise Solomon in case we nearly kill him.))

[Jair Barik]

OOC: No all I have is 2 cure minor wounds, 2 cure light wounds, a cure moderate wounds, a remove paralysis, a lesser restoration, a cure serious wounds and a clutch of Orcus.

Perhaps if I clutch of Orcus him?

((So you have 5 cure spells, so you can stabilise him with a standard action spell when we win the fight. I was worried more about "we lose the paladin forever" than "we get smacked about bringing him down".

Wait... *goes and checks BoVD and SRD*

If we want him dead-dead, Clutch of Orcus would be hilarious and a good way for Michael to realise he isn't the only evil person in the party, but do we want him out of the game already? Short of house-ruling in "zombies/skeletons aren't mindless" we can't even turn him into an intelligent undead at 5th level.))

[Jair Barik]

OOC: What better way to prove how evil you are than to magically remove the opponents smoking heart from their body?

[Omegonthesane]

((More to the point Clutch of Orcus will paralyse him, so I can sap him to kingdom come - with a wide grin on my face - and then shove you to break your concentration.
I appreciate we're Evil, but you're talking about murdering the party meat shield - that's our enemy's job, or else left until we're out of immediate danger that isn't him.))

[Jair Barik]

OOC: yeah I was being sarcastic. And it had occured to me that we could use it to paralyse him

[Altaria87]

OOC: Please stop discussing the advantages and disadvantages of my murder . Anyway *hopes I stop being crazy soon*, also I presume that wasn't the creature we're after?

[Jair Barik]

OOC: Don't think it had the right number of arms. Hopefully a low damage shield bash should sort you out.

[Wind d8/d12]

(OOC:BAck in action until 3pm!)

[Balthazar]

Um Jair, since you are using your shield as an off hand weapon, which is heavy, and you don't havee two-weapon fighting, you get a -10 to hit, meaning you rolled an 11, not a 21, which misses.
Cleas, your trip attack misses, and you fall flat on your back instead. (critical fumble confirmed).
Solidem squeezes past Grishpot, and tumbles past Solomon, but not low enough, and Solomon takes a swing at him, missing. Popping up on the other side, he takes a whack at him with the flat of the blade, missing and striking the other wall, the jarring enough to make him drop his weapon.
Joey's sap bounces off the paladin's breastplate, leaving him no worse for his trouble.
Danath's turn.

[Jair Barik]

OOC: Rats, I thought offhand penalties only applied if you were using both weapons at once...

[Balthazar]

Nope, it specifically says that a shield bash uses it as an offhand weapon.

[Altaria87]

OOC: You could all go on Total Defence until I recover =D
Also, when confused, isn't there like only a 30% chance I actually attack my allies, the rest are like babbling incoherently, or acting normally?

[pcamp88]

Danath runs forward, making his own trip attempt on the screaming idiot.

Trip: (1d20+9)[15]

[Wind d8/d12]

(on turn)
Claes stands and goes full defensive. "If my understanding is correct Solomon should regain his senses without our interference!"

AC is now 23.

[pcamp88]

OOC: Due to my late shift tonight and my VERY early shift tomorrow, I won't be around until roughly 3 pm est tomorrow.

[Balthazar]

The trip provokes an attack of opportunity, which hits for 5 damage. The trip then hits, but you fail the strength check, allowing him to trip you! You fall flat on your face.

[Balthazar]

Solomon then looks around wildly, and finally stands there babbling.
And yes Alteria, it is 10% attack the caster, 10% act normally, 30% babble, 20% run away from the caster, and 30% attack closest person.

[Balthazar]

Do not read till it's Solomon's turns, since I can't be here on saturday, I took the liberty of rolling up his next actions (thanks to wind)
He has an attack modifier of +8 to hit, and does 1d8+1d6(fire)+2, AC of 21, touch is 11, Strength modifier of +2

"And if, I don't know, he kills one of us before he gets his senses back? Forgive me for not wanting to take that chance!"
Michael finds a way to flank Solomon, then lets rip with a sap.

[Balthazar]

Oh, and the grid is like this: Currently
There is no place for you Joey. Initiative is Cleas, Solidem, Joey, Danath, Solomon, and Grishpot.

[Wind d8/d12]

"Then we will use your empty husk to bait the creature we are chasing!" Claes watched as the situation deteriorated. Just how much was the paladin hearing? Claes wondered if he will take offense when he regains his senses.
