Reciprocal Tax Evasion

We can probably extrapolate it from the last gargoyle fight, though.

Good point! I'll go do that.

But charging doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity i think

I'm getting a +12 for Maki, a +7 for Shudu and +11 for Eduardo...
Sound right?

And no, charging in and of itself doesn't provoke one.

**Human Paragon 3** · 2011-02-25, 03:00 PM (ISO 8601)

It's actually +9 for me, but I've only attacked at +11 due to charging/flanks etc so far.

Right... I'm gonna narrate the round up to Eduardo's trip attempt...

The attack is rushed and clumsy...
Maki's falchion is too slow, and Shudu's axe strike is too wide. The twin arcs of steel whiz through the air without consequence, and the creature lunges forward to attack.
One of its claws latches onto the barbarian, tearing into Maki's flesh.

The wolf steps aside, allowing Eduardo to hook Pax behind the gargoyle's leg...
...the gargoyle snarls, and pulling back its sturdy leg to haul the druid forward and down...

Eduardo has been Disarmed!

Wisely, Eduardo opts to let go of his weapon rather than being tripped in turn.

Edited! Good decision.

"Catch!" Shudu says, throwing his axe to the Druid, pulling out his bow, Shudu runs a few steps backward, preparing his bow to fire a shot at the beast..

Ranged attack roll to see if it gets to Eduardo..

I figure he outa have a weapon, and I have a spare sooooo ^^

**TheOasysMaster** · 2011-02-25, 04:02 PM (ISO 8601)

Eduardo catches the axe.

**Human Paragon 3** · 2011-02-25, 04:08 PM (ISO 8601)

My thanks! Looks like the beast has remembered a few of our moves from last time we crossed paths. Let's see if it remembers this...

Eduardo disengages from the gargoyle, deftly leaping over the pit to the west.

That's a withdraw action with an auto-succeeding jump to put me over the pit. Maybe this time the plan will actually work! I'm pretty sure if I ready an action just to jump in front of it, that will stop its movement, stalling it. Maybe next round.

**Samfool** · 2011-02-25, 04:15 PM (ISO 8601)

Shudu yells to Parissia, then to Maki "Get ready to push the beast into the pit! Maki! Cut off it's escape!"

Shudu runs up the wall in a few bounds and navigates to just above the pit.

(If I can take an attack action..)

He pulls back his bow and fires another arrow, cursing himself for having to waste more of his precious ammo.

Shudu drops his arrow, and it falls on the gargoyle's head, who looks up at the scout with a look of amusement on its face.

**Human Paragon 3** · 2011-02-25, 04:24 PM (ISO 8601)

If I'm counting right, Maki has two rounds of actions coming to him, ditto for the wolfpire.

**TheOasysMaster** · 2011-02-25, 04:31 PM (ISO 8601)

Yup...
Two rounds for both of 'em. And so does the gargoyle...

**Misaat** · 2011-02-25, 06:02 PM (ISO 8601)

Actually my base attack would be +17 and +19 when raging and +20 with the boots of speed activated i was using power attack in my last turn

"He hurt me? HE HURT ME?

"Hope you enyoyed your last mistake pal..."

Feeling the Anger swell up from within him Maki clickes his boots together to activate its magic powers one's more and attacks the beast furiously!

**TheOasysMaster** · 2011-02-25, 06:16 PM (ISO 8601)

The barbarian savagely rips into the gargoyle, and chunks of flesh and bits of bone literally fly everywhere...
The gargoyle stands its ground, groaning in pain as its undead mind tries to understand what exactly is happening to it.
The barbarian attempts another attack, counting on the additional speed of his boots, but the gargoyle fends it off with the edge of a claw.

Maki goes again.
Then the gargoyle and the wolf will have two rounds, then everyone will be back into Round 4! Then all three of you are up again... So technically, Maki can decide actions for the next two rounds...

**Misaat** · 2011-02-25, 06:42 PM (ISO 8601)

Maki can feel his blood rushing..boiling from inside... He keeps slashing at the beast savagely.

"RAAAAHH"

**TheOasysMaster** · 2011-02-25, 07:23 PM (ISO 8601)

The barbarian must be slowing...
His first attack is short, and though the second one leaves a long furrow across the zombie gargoyle's face, the final is beaten back by one of the gargoyle's claws.

(2d8+10)[18]
(1d8)[4]

It snarls angrily, and slashes at the barbarian again!

(2d8+10)[20]
(1d8)[5]

The Dire Wolf leaps forward to intervene; her long jaws filled with jagged teeth snap at empty air, then she manages to lock the massive fangs o the zombie's sinuous leg. The creature goes down, tripped.
The Dire Wolf howls, anticipating victory, and once again filling the Tomb entrance with it's mournful and bone-chilling note.

It's PRONE!

**TheOasysMaster** · 2011-02-25, 07:27 PM (ISO 8601)

Maki is bleeding and cut...
His breath comes out in ragged coughs, but he isn't finished yet!

He's down to 25 Hit Points...
I'm going to start adding BABs to the signature...
Misaat, would you mind indicating when Maki is making use of his Power Attack Feat?

**TheOasysMaster** · 2011-02-25, 07:30 PM (ISO 8601)

Pharrisia sinks her teeth into the gargoyle's throat, clamping down with her massive jaws as it struggles to beat her off.
The gargoyle ignore her however, a remaining eye fixed with hatred upon the barbarian.

**Misaat** · 2011-02-25, 07:31 PM (ISO 8601)

Ignoring the hot blood that is now flowing from the wound in his chest Maki looks as the creature falls to the ground and prepares what could be a final set of attacks.

Unable to move to defend itself from Maki's rage, the creature's body is beginning to lose form with each hacking blow...
But even the barbarian's mighty attacks aren't enough to fell it just yet...

Be careful man, one (un)lucky roll on my part, and this can be game over for Maki the Barbarian!

Actually, nevermind-he's at 43!

**Samfool** · 2011-02-25, 08:20 PM (ISO 8601)

Shudu yells down "Maki! Grab his leg and pull him in! Eduardo! Grab the other one!"

Is that counting the +18 hp from the rage? Also Samfool i already used my actions for this round. Why dont you just attack him anyways? It must be at 20 hp most

The master of death watches the unfolding horror, almost analytically. Could the creature still stand after sustaining this much damage? How powerful are the bonds of undeath?

Holding my action. If I get the opportunity, I'll throw the thing into the pit, but I have a feeling that Maki is going to execute it this round.

Somebody finish it!

**Human Paragon 3** · 2011-02-25, 10:55 PM (ISO 8601)

Suddenly Eduardo snaps out of his academic revelries. As long as the zombie clung to undeath it remained a threat. Even if it looked pathetic spitting up blood in the shadow of the mighty barbarian, underestimating it could be a grave mistake.

Gripping the scout's axe in hand, Eduardo leaps into action, sailing back across the pit, axe-face first.

Jumping attack at the creature.

(d20+9)[18]
(d12+4)[10]
EDIT: Don't forget it has -4 AC for prone!
Oh and +2 for flank if possible brings it to an effective 24.

If it stands up and provokes from me, I'll use my AoO to (probably unsuccessfully) bull rush it into the pit.
