"Let's leave through the window in the main lobby."

[madtinker]

In the dim light of the office, you can see faint moonlight streaming in through a small window, but it looks like it has bars over it.

[curf06]

I meant the window that I used to break into the place.

[INWranger]

Is Scruff out of the fight yet? If so, search Scruff (1d20+3)[4] , then help Keiji and start getting an alchemists fire and crazy smoke stick out to make an easy exit. If not, attack again.

[madtinker]

Scruff is far from out of the fight. Curf still has some actions left. Oh, and he doesn't notice anything from his spot check.

[INWranger]

Well then attack again. Good thing too, as I couldn't have found Scruff with a search check like that.

I look again

Spot
(1d20+9)[28]

[madtinker]

This takes place after Curf "looks" but before Jaster attacks.

Curf the character doesn't know that there is even anything to look for. Thus, he cannot "look again."

Something comes out of the dark bunkroom with a twang and a pfut. It's aimed right at Curf. (1d20+5)[6]. (1d10)[6]+(3d6)[8].

Just after that, the door to the bunkroom bursts open, and surly men in various stages of undress (one completely nude) but armed to the teeth start filling the hallway.

"What boss? Couldn't handle a few burglars yerself?"

Kill 'em all Scruff responds as he takes a parting swing at Curf. (1d20+13)[21], (1d10+7)[16].

He then moves back to the bunkroom doorway, a more defensible position.

Seizing the opportunity, Jaster's flaming sword cuts and cauterizes a large stripe down Scruffs back.

The guards, obviously not used to seeing Scruff retreat, hesitate.

Jaster, you're up again.

I'd also like to take out my ioun stone light and release it, then check if I have all the records in the room.

If your AC is higher than 6 the crossbow bolt missed you. To find your current hit points, take your total hit points and subtract the damage you have received

Your uncanny dodge applies without needing to roll. In normal attacks, what is important is whether his attack roll is equal to or greater than your AC. You might lose you dexterity bonus to AC if your character was unaware of the attacker, as in the case of the recent crossbow attack, but your uncanny dodge applied without your needing to roll. You cannot roll anything to avoid Scruff's attack because a normal melee attack does not have any associated save.

Jaster's blades serve up diced mercenary in the kitchen, but there are at least a dozen more. Two attack Jaster, while the others crowd in behind.

I finish stowing the records.

[madtinker]

Curf's swig leaves him refreshed, while Jaster's fiery blade lays another unarmored lowlife lower.

Now the mercenary horde is trying to surround Jaster (provoking an AoO).

Others fill in behind, surrounding him with daggers, clubs, and swords.

(1d6+3)[8] + (2d6)[5] ?

[madtinker]

Your AoO misses (you only get to apply your regular attack on AoO), but the flank takes him down. Jaster lays out the big guy with a few deft strokes.

A short, scarred, muscle bound thug steps up. Curf would recognize him as Clay. Displaying a snaggle tooth grin, he steps up to Jaster and swings an enormous blade. (1d20+9)[13], (2d6+7)[14].

The other merc keeps swinging too.

As you glance around (spot, and if we use your last dice roll, that's 25) you notice a chest behind the desk, about 18 inches long, twelve wide, and twelve high.

Clay is battered but still standing. He presses the attack on Jaster. (1d20+9)[14], (2d6+7)[13]

In flanking Clay, Curf exposes himself to more attackers, who take advantage by surrounding him.

I attempt to open the chest cautiously with my foot rather briefly. If it seems to be locked, I'll try to pick it up to heft it and see how much it weighs.

[curf06]

When it is my turn.

I back away behind Jaster. And take a Potion of Cure Light Wounds.
