R2T24

Lena was planning on trying something fancy when she saw that the human was being surrounded by two of the masked men. She moved into position about 15 feet west to get an angle on both of his attackers and fired a shot at each.

The first shot strikes it's target for 19 Non-Lethal causing a cry of pain from the masked assailant. The second shot is far off, cracking against a cobblestone in the road and ricocheting off to who knows where.

Hannibal, you are surrounded by two enemies with another threatening you with their longspear. What do you do?

Hannibal gives a twisted smile, a rush of blood flowing through him as he finds himself enjoying this fight more than expected. He strikes out at his original target with his fist, aiming to blast a few more blood vessels with his strike, before sliding away from the enemies, trying to break their attempts to flank him.

Hannibal gives a twisted smile, a rush of blood flowing through him as he finds himself enjoying this fight more than expected. He slides up and strikes out at his original target with his fist, aiming to blast a few more blood vessels with his strike dealing 15 damage and 11 Bleed dropping his opponent bonelessly to the ground, his movement conveniently slides him away from the flanking enemies.

Okay so a couple of housekeeping issues to sort out. Please remember that when attacking with natural attacks there are primary and secondary attacks. When you use any manufactured weapon or unarmed strikes all natural attacks are automatically secondary and get a -5 penalty to attack and only get 1/2 str to damage.

So when used with unarmed strikes, Sekyrn's bite and claws should have +3 to hit (with current sequence boos) and +3 to damage (1/2 of str rounds down to 0, +1 for finesse fighting, +2 for sequence) If you don't use Unarmed strikes and only used natural attacks you would choose which to have as primary bite or claws then the other would be secondary and have secondary penalties.

Furthermore, the Duelist sphere's bleed damage does not stack with itself, and can only be used on Attack Actions, not Full-Attack Actions.

R2T21

Sekyrn's taunted enemy steps into favorable positioning, flanking with the spearman, before laying into Sekyrn with a bewildering flurry of cuts. The first strike lands a deep gash on Sekyrn's right arm for 11 Damage and the wound begins bleeding profusely for 1 Bleed the strike was so well placed, that Sekyrn finds it difficult to use his right arm as the nerves in it feel numb and unresponsive (-2 penalty to all attack rolls, ability checks, or skill checks made with that arm.) The next cut swings wide harmlessly.

R2T20

Seeing his ally die so pitifully, the unharmed masked enemy by Hannibal shouts, "Until the last drop is spilled!" and moves to attack the durable monk. It again tries to fool the monk, but the monk's keen perception causes his attempt to fail. Nonetheless, the masked one attempts to strike out at the monk but Hannibal easily tilts his body and watches as his assailant's blades whiz by hitting nothing but air.

Spoiler: Masson

Show

The man’s face goes through several emotions as you give your diagnosis. First you recognize denial, then rage as the man almost seems ready to come to blows with you. However, at the last moment he looks to the young woman and visibly deflates. He begins weeping piteously over the body.

Around the square, the fires have been contained and new fires have sprang up as survivors and volunteers begin the process of burning the bodies. Mementos are collected and sorted to be delivered to next of kin should they be found. Masson has just completed triage on those he could help leaving the stable patients to other healers who have since arrived at the scene when an altercation breaks out.

“Keep your filthy hands off her!” shouts a man who Masson recognizes as the man who lost his daughter earlier. Another man is near him and replies, “Look mate, I don’t want to do it neither, but if we leave her lying she could-“
“SHUT UP!” the first man interjects angrily, “Don’t you dare say another word!”

What does Masson do? Triage is complete and you have saved all you could without risking wild magic. The sounds of fighting are still ongoing in Royal Square but seem to be less than before.

[lostsole31]

People are saved as well as possible, or in position to be handled by other healers that come on scene. Messr. Masson heads off to the sounds of fighting, taking out his buckler and readying first as he goes.

Zo'dar grits his teeth as his blood splatters the street. With a glance toward the poetic wild man, Zo'dar shifts his position to trap his opponent between the two of them.

"There's nowhere dark enough for you to run from me." He says before swinging a luminous sword at the spearman. His glowing sword is attention grabbing and the Spearman is able to catch the blade on his shield and safely redirect the blow away.

R2T10

Backing off from the Advancing swordsman, this masked assailant also takes up the battle cry of his compatriot, "'Till the last drop spills!" His shout seems to have a provoking effect on Sekyrn (Challenged, -2 to hit others, +2 to hit MS2), and the spearman turns his spear towards Zo'Dar again still wet with his blood. As though a blade returning to it's sheath, the spearman finds his mark once more. Zo'dar again feels the sting of the spear this time for 1 Mod Damage and is Impaled.

R2T7

The masked dual wielder that Lena shot turns and stares at the gnoll holding a gun. Lena sees the foe perform a strange bladed dance. Lena is so caught up in the dance that before she realizes it the foe she just shot is right in front of her, bloodshot eyes promising murder and blades going for blood. The first blade catches Lena completely off guard dealing 11 Damage and 1 Bleed as the blade carves a deep furrow into Lena's right shoulder causing the limb to go numb (-2 to all attack rolls, ability checks, or skill checks made with that arm.)
The pain of the blow wakes Lena from her daze and she easily avoids the second blade. The foe stands before Lena shouting out their battlecry "Until the last drop is shed!"

Lena swore in Gnomish when she was hurt, but defiantly raises her rifle. "Shed this, @#$%face!" she said, firing two rounds into her assailant. The first round is barely avoided by the enemy tilting his head to the side right before Lena fires, leaving a bloody line in the wake of the shot. The second show Lena aims at the center of mass and there is no dodging a bullet at this range. The Masked attacker takes 3 NL damage and 8 Damage as he gasps for breath before passing out.

The enemy that Sekyrn is fighting strikes back. Once more using confusing bladework to try and catch the Beast off guard. Sekyrn sees through the trick this time, and fends off the blades attacking him.

This assailant continues his somewhat futile struggle against his implacable foe. His feints are useless against the monk, and even his cunning blow is harmlessly cast aside with a swipe of the monk's hand.

Zo'Dar, the enemy's blade is still inside of you. It leads to a staggering 8 Bleed Damage as blood drains from you like a tapped tree drains sap. Your tormentor is outside the reach of your blade, and you must overcome his weapon's impalement to advance upon him. What do you do?

Zo'Dar goes to sunder the Spear impaling him, and the spear wielder lashes out with the impaled spear dealing 4 Mod Damage and 1 Bleed. This does not deter Zo'Dar, as his sword lands upon the spear and leaves it cracked and broken, but still impaled in him and still threatening as a weapon.

R2T10

Angry at his broken weapon, SW2 attacks with his spear still impaled in Zo'Dar, but only deals 1 Mod Damage to the sturdy knight. With a cruel gleam in his eyes, SW2 twists the spear imbedded in Zo'Dar and yanks it from the wound leaving it gaping and causing 1 Bleed once more. Zo'Dar stuggles to function against the pain.

Make a Fortitude save vs staggered please. Just to clarify on the bleed, the duelist sphere dealt 1 on the AoO, then the impale removal dealt 2, but I just added 1 since you already took 1 from duelist and since these are from separate 'attacks' the don't stack.

TL;DR: roll a fort and you took 2 bleed damage total since your sunder.

Let's try that finisher ! As I have 5 links, I have 5 trip attempts, max 2 per target, and I can do it as a full action to be able to move half my speed between attempts.
