Strange Aeons: In Search of Sanity II [IC - Group #2]

[ClockworkCorvid]

Getting tired of weirdos with improvised weapons beating him up, Corbin lashes out with beak and claws!

Spoiler: OOC

Full attack with Natural weapons on AO2

Claw: (1d20+5)[24] Damage: (1d3+4)[7]

[lostsole31]

R2T20: Seeing Corbin engaged in melee with another of those yellow robed attackers, Bangs does not hesitate to bestow Corbin with extra vitality. Corbin feels his heart pumping and his limbs energized (though he doesn't know why), perhaps as an outgrowth of Maeni's spell.

R2T19: Getting tired of weirdos with improvised weapons beating him up, Corbin lashes out with beak and claws! Corbin pecks deep into the man's right shoulder for 6, misses with a claw, but then gets the other claw into the man's chest for 7. A sort of madness keeps the man on his feet, though.

Haru, you are delaying, do you do anything?

R2T17: Zoo, you aren't really being helpful right now with the ivy. The robed man easily got out of it, but two party members are entangled. What do you do?

Spoiler: Battle Map

Show

AO1 (location unknown) on deck, Maeni in the hole ...

[SwordChucks]

"Well fine." Zoo grumbles as he ceases concentration on animating the vines.

He takes on arm-dog's shape and slips by Flair to end up to the east of Björn.

Spoiler: combat

Show

Free action: cease concentration
Move action: Shapeshift into arm-dog, spending an SP
Move action: move to Björn's side

Save vs sickened: (1d20+6)[16]

[meemaas]

Haru sees his chance to join the fray and moves into the hallway between Maeni and Bangs, and performs the necessary gestures and very obviously magical grunts to conjure up a small ball of powerful wind, which he proceeds to throw at the enemy, hoping to topple it over with the sheer force.

Spoiler: Actions

Show

Move action: Move between Maeni and Bangs to get LoS on AO2
Standard action: Gale Blast at range, spend a spell point for full damage.

Ranged Touch attack (1d20+6)[21] (range penalty for lacking precise shot was not applied)
Damage, if successful (2d6)[6] Nonlethal
Trip check, if successful (1d20+7)[22]

Gale Blast deals nonlethal damage and allows for a trip check using Caster Level plus Casting modifier in place of usual CMB.

Since it's been a while, I would be remiss to remind you that I do have the Wild Magic drawback.

[lostsole31]

R2T17: "Well fine." Zoo grumbles as he ceases concentration on animating the vines. He takes on arm-dog's shape (green smoke briefly puffing all around him) and slips by Flair to end up to the east of Björn.

R2T16: Haru sees his chance to join the fray and moves into the hallway between Maeni and Bangs, and performs the necessary gestures and very obviously magical grunts to conjure up a small ball of powerful wind, which he proceeds to throw at the enemy, hoping to topple it over with the sheer force. It's a nearly impossible shot, and if it weren't for Maeni's spell, Haru would've missed. As it was, the air-ball just manages to hit the man in the lower left arm for 6 NL, and throwing him to the ground.

R2T13: For those that can see into the room, AO1 jumps out and surprises Gaye, but somehow she manages to block the poorly swung crowbar.

R2T10: Maeni, you hear the sounds of battle in the room, so the party is fighting at two locations - the room and the hall. What do you do?

Spoiler: Battle Map

Show

Björn on deck, AO2 (prone) in the hole ...

[silphael]

With few options in the current situation, Maeni casts guidance on the nearest person.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Right now, nothing will really help more than that ><
So guidance on Haru.

[lostsole31]

R2T10: With few options in the current situation, Maeni casts guidance on the nearest person [Haru]. Haru, you feel a portion of your mind tapped into some precognitive sense.

Spoiler: Haru

Show

You have guidance.

R2T7: Björn, you are currently wielding longsword and shield. You would have to take a 5' move to get to the closest, yellow-robed man. What do you do?

AO2 (prone) on deck (literally), Flair (with point blank shot) in the hole ...

[BuckGodot]

Björn will raise his sword high and bellow a challenge while moving quickly towards the yellow-robed man.

Spoiler: Just a jump to the left...

Show

Attempting an Overrun maneuver.

CMB: (1d20+7)[11]

Attack: (1d20+8)[15]
Damage: (1d8+9)[11]

[lostsole31]

R2T7: Björn will raise his sword high and bellow a challenge while moving quickly towards the yellow-robed man. He swings wide as Björn tries to bodycheck him, but the man stands his ground.

Spoiler: Overrun

Show

An overrun is a full standard action, which replaces the standard action you would take for an attack. You are not able to overrun AND attack (without special training that you do not have).

R2T5: AO2 tries to get up, and Corbin pecks at him, but almost pinches a nerve. AO2 smashes down on Corbin's right foot for 9 with his crowbar, but Corbin doesn't really show it (courtesy of some unknown invigorating effect).

R2T4: Flair, what do you do?

Gaye on deck, Bangs in the hole ...

[digiman619]

Flair fires at the guy attacking Corbin. He briefly considers trying to slide behind him, but he decided against it; a maneuver like that would have been tricky enough without Corbin in between them, so the likelihood of pulling it off was below accepted parameters.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

SA: Attack. I trust you to add the appropriate bonuses and penalties
(1d20+4)[8] (1d6+3)[9].
MA: Reload the crossbow. I could do it as an IA, but without something to do with my MA, might as well keep my IA available.

[bcool999]

Bangs

Bangs attempts to shoot through the crowd with a blast of needle-like earth and stone aimed at the yellow robed enemy.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Earth Blast: (1d20+4)[15] to hit AC
Damage: (1d6+5)[9] Piercing Damage

[lostsole31]

R2T4: Flair fires at the guy attacking Corbin, with the bolt going well overhead and sinking in the door at the end of the hallway. He briefly considers trying to slide behind him, but he decided against it; a maneuver like that would have been tricky enough without Corbin in between them, so the likelihood of pulling it off was below accepted parameters. He reloads his crossbow.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T22: Annoyed by this guy, Gaye sidesteps to the NE to open AO1 up to more of her friends. She defensively casts a spell (successfully), with a dark nimbus forming around her off-hand, and tries to touch the man (unsuccessfully).

Spoiler: Björn, Zoo

Show

She cast, and is still holding, inflict light wounds.

R3T20: Bangs attempts to shoot through the crowd with a blast of needle-like earth and stone aimed at the yellow robed enemy, but misses.

R3T19: Corbin, what do you do?

Spoiler: Battle Map

Zoo on deck, Haru (with guidance) in the hole ...

Shaking off the strike and the oddly sudden defect with his beak, he keeps up his assault on the crowbar wielding maniac.

Claw: (1d20+5)[20]Damage[1d3+4]

[lostsole31]

R3T19: Shaking off the strike and the oddly sudden defect with his beak, he keeps up his assault on the crowbar wielding maniac. His beak misses fully, his claw almost penetrates the padded armor the man wears under his armor, but the second claw finally meets success as Corbin scores along the man's chest for 5, staggering the man.

R3T17: Zoo, what do you do?

Haru (w/ guidance) on deck, AO1 in the hole ...

[SwordChucks]

Zoo steps closer and attacks in full force, wishing the whole time that the man would just surrender.

Hoof2: (1d20+2)[22], (1d4+2)[5]

[lostsole31]

R3T17: Zoo steps closer and attacks in full force, wishing the whole time that the man would just surrender. Boo probes with a nipping bite, he then overextends with his claw for a tiring attack. With his next claw and hoof, he only catches the robe, but his final hoof strikes down on the man's upper right arm with a terrible bruise for 5 real + 6 NL!

R3T16: Haru, what do you do?

R3T13: AO1 hits Zoo with his crowbar for 6, then repositions away from Zoo and Björn.

R3T10: Maeni, you are 30' from the only opponent you can see - AO2, who is staggered and barely standing. What do you do?

Björn on deck, AO2 (staggered) in the hole ...

Delaying until after AO2 acts.

R3T4: Flair, what do you do?

Spoiler: Battle Map

Show

Gaye on deck, Bangs in the hole ...

[digiman619]

Flair takes another shot before heading north. If this angle wasn't working, maybe the reverse would work better.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

PBS and bless are probably still in effect, apply bonuses and penalties as normal. (1d20+4)[16] (1d8+2)[6]. MA: move around to get to 2 squares right of Gaye. if the path matters, it's 1 N, 1 NW, 1 N, 1 NW (2), 1 SE. (2) means that since it's the second diagonal it counts as two squares. I also move through Gaye's square to do so if it matters.

[lostsole31]

R3T4: Flair takes another shot before heading north. If this angle wasn't working, maybe the reverse would work better.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T22: Gaye passes Flair and heads out into the hallway to flank the failing enemy. She tries to touch him with the spell that's still on her inky-outlined hands but misses.

R4T20: Bangs, you notice that the protection you placed on Corbin failed when he got hit last time as Corbin shows most of that hit. What do you do?

Spoiler: Battle Map

Show

Corbin on deck, Zoo in the hole ...

[bcool999]

Bangs

Realizing that this battle is almost over, Bangs stops prioritizing damage and decides to attempt to snag a little extra power. He disconnects Meani from the collective, and reaches out toward the downed foe.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Free action: Drop Meani from the collective (she would know this happened)
Standard Action: Unwilling Participant on AO2 DC 15 Will Save to resist.

[lostsole31]

R4T19: Corbin, the man in front of you is not only on the ropes ... but with Gaye you are now flanking him! What do you do?

Zoo on deck, Haru (with guidance) in the hole ...

[SwordChucks]

Zoo blinks in shock of the strength of his new ally, very glad that they're on the same side.

Having no target at present, Zoo moves to the hallway and assesses the situation. He drops out of his dog form and says to the assailant "Your friend is dead and you're surrounded. Drop your weapon and let's talk."

Spoiler: combat

Show

Dismiss Shapeshift and move south to the spot between Haru and Corbin.

[ClockworkCorvid]

Bite: (1d20+7)[19] Damage: (1d3+4)[7] Sneak Attack: (1d6)[1]

[lostsole31]

R4T20: Realizing that this battle is almost over, Bangs stops prioritizing damage and decides to attempt to snag a little extra power. He disconnects Meani from the collective, and reaches out toward the downed staggered foe. However, the insanity of the man acts as an effective bulwark in blocking Bangs.

R4T19: Corbin tries to use the newfound distraction to it's fullest, aiming his sharp talons at his opponent's vital areas. He claws into the man's upper right arm for 8, digs his claws into the man's groin for another 8, and once he is on the ground pecks him in the belly for 8 again.

R4T17: Zoo blinks in shock of the strength of his new ally, very glad that they're on the same side. Having no target at present, Zoo moves to the hallway and assesses the situation. He drops out of his dog form when he sees that man has fallen as well.

R4T16: Haru, you don't know what's happening in the room, but the man out in the hallway is down. What do you do?

Björn on deck, Flair in the hole ...

[meemaas]

Haru follows into the room, only aware that there is combat in there, and assesses the situation in there, but takes his sweet time assessing the situation when he arrives.

Spoiler

Show

Move into the room and pass the rest of his action since the foe in the room is also on the ground (If I'm following the rest of the fight correctly)
