Close Encounters Of The Scaly Kind!

[Darius]

Keishara Embermist

Turning at the sound of the thunderous roar, Keishara moves 5' off of her barstool and puts a table between her and the reptilian humanoids. She then concentrates as she attempts to conjure multiple grease patches under as many foes as she can.

Deafness - (1d100)[57] - 20% check made

sculpted grease spell in g14-15, h14-15;

in j13-14, k13-14; and in
k13-14, L13-14

DC 15 Ref or fall (Kobold in k14 has to make 2 saves)
This save is repeated on your turn each round that the creature remains within the area. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balance check. Failure means it can’t move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).

Reminder - unless these creatures have 5 ranks in Balance, they are flat-footed.

[Knight13]

Darolis

Fortitude Save: (1d20+4)[14]

Darolis glances down at his unstrung bow on the floor, curses in dwarven and draws his shortsword. Taking a quick step forward, he lashes out at the nearest kobold.

Kaori Kind

The teenager completely toppled out of her chair on hearing a warcry that razed the tavern atmosphere. Clamouring inelegantly back to her feet, she could only stare from behind the backs of several stout and calm warriors at glimpses and glimmers of several lizard like monstrosities that her eyes went wide with terror at. With the only exit completely cut off, Kaori leaned heavily against the barcounter, none too sure what to do.

Vimak is healing the worst wounds and everyone else has 1 point damage at worst so...I can relax for one round.

[Salvonus]

Elyia

Elyia swore vigorously as the innkeeper collapsed to the ground. Her lute already in hand, Elyia swiftly cast a spell to enhance the morale-boosting nature of her songs. She began to play an inspiring song, hoping to increase the fighting prowess of the inn's other denizens. Letting the music linger in the air, she quickly set aside her lute, hoisting herself up on to the nearby table and grabbing her whip-dagger from her belt.

Swift Action: Cast Inspirational Boost

Updated Map.

Everyone has +4/+4 to Attack/Damage, now. So, anyone who goes after Elyia in initiative should factor that in.

[AetherFox]

The two sides' warriors trade blows, with neither side getting any good hits in. The two lizards in the back, clearly magic users, prepare their next synchronised spell. Two large green orbs materialize in their hands, and fly towards Vimek, spalshing all around.
The lizard in the center screams out in pain as Vimek's weapon digs into his flesh, and returns fire, literally. From his mouth shoots another inferno of flames, narroly missing his companions and torching Ran and Vimek. Ran manages to dodge most of the fire, but is still badly burned.
With a howl and a leap off the table, 'Badger' slices down with his ax, leaving a gaping hole in the lizard before him. He falls, bleeding quickly, mixing the dark red blood with the black grease on the floor. The other three meleeists continue the attack.

Yay round two!
Sorry to Vimak and Ran, (well, not really)

Ran:
2 acid splashes splash onto you, dealing 2 damage.
Criticled reflex save on the fire attack: (2d6-2)[7] halved.

Vimak:
2 acid spalshes targetted on you, both saves failed. (2d3)[6]
Also, reflex for the breath weapon failed: (2d6)[11]

Kurt the Adventurer is torched and knocked unconsious by the fire, and the Kobold -g in red is bleeding out.

Troglodyte in G14 made his save for color spray, and is attacking Michael (1d20+2)[11] Damage: (1d6)[3]

Troglodyte in P15 attacks Jack again: (1d20+2)[14] Damage: (1d6)[1]

Kobold -g attacks Darolis: (1d20-1)[19] Damage: (1d6-1)[4]
The kobold in J14 is knocked prone by the grease, but suceeds on his concentration check.

[Gorgondantess]

Jack takes the first attack without a flinch, nimbly dodging the 2nd. He drops his bow, drawing the 2 long knives at his belt, and hacking at the creature in front of him.

From behind the cover of the table, Keishara takes out her sling and bullet. Since the spellcasters are not involved in melee, she aims at the one standing and lets fly...

Just want to remind Gentoo44...

The grease save is repeated on each round that the creature remains within the area (Ref DC 15 or fall). A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balance check. Failure means it can’t move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).

In addition, unless these creatures have 5 ranks in Balance, they are flat footed.

under Balance Skill: Being Attacked while Balancing: You are considered flat-footed while balancing, since you can’t move to avoid a blow, and thus you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). If you have 5 or more ranks in Balance, you aren’t considered flat-footed while balancing. If you take damage while balancing, you must make another Balance check against the same DC to remain standing.

So, any time these creatures in grease get hit, another Balance check is needed. Hopefully, the law of averages are in our favor, here.


Rounds left of grease: 3

Immediate Action ready if attacked - abrupt jaunt out of way

Action: SlingAttack - (1d20+8)[27]
damage - (1d4+6)[9]

I am unsure which of the kobolds are spellcasters since there was nothing said other than 'the two lizards in the back'. Please let us know map locations of spell casters like j15.

[Townopolis]

Faervarhed

The hapless gnome caster scrambles away from the fight when his spell fails, scampering over the table and hiding in a corner. There, he holds his staff before himself protectively, and watches the combat unfold pensively.

[Knight13]

Darolis

Newly empowered by the magic of two of the other adventurers, Darolis dashes around the hovering weapon, skirts the edge of the grease patch and whips his arm out in a snake-swift stab at one of the magic-users, his sword biting deep into its flesh.

Move Action: Move to M15

Standard Action: Skirmish Attack on kobold in L15, +1d6 to damage, +1 to AC
Attack Roll: (1d20+8)[25]

[Paramour Pink]

Kaori Kind

Kaori had already been thrown out of her regal behaviour by the war-cry, and the wide-eyed expression she wore at the onslaught Vimak absorbed did little to aid it's recovery. Quickly, she came to his back, and reminded with a voice as shaky as her healing touch, “Lastai is with you, and so am I.”

[Baxter190]

Jumping off the table, "Badger" only saw shades of red, anger clouding his thoughts, red hot rageclear. Bringng his axe up again, he ignored his previous target, and brought it down upon a new enermy.

attacking j15. Don't know if I have to make a roll for the grease, DM make the roll for me if I do.

If I hit
(1d10+4)[8]

Still in my barbarain rage

[AetherFox]

Once again, both sides fight furiously back and forth, and is isn't long before the greese turns a dark copper color, mixing with the blood. The firebreather in the center reaches into his pack and pulls out a bottle of white liquid. Before he can drink it, a stream of lightening shoots from the door. The creature falls to his knees, and the lightening connecting him to a figure in the door scorches through his body for seconds on end. Four more such lines shoot from the figure at the other attackers, dropping them as well. Only after the creatures are long dead the figure cuts off the flow of magic. You can now see him more clearly. He is a tall, extreamly thin figure, and wears a long, unadorned blue robe with an overhanging hood that obscures his face from this distance. Though he says nothing, it is clear that the display of magic leaves him out of breath. The air around the bar is still tingling with resdue from the electric energy.

[Innis Cabal]

Ran Kang

Ran brush's himself off, muttering under his breath in a strange barking and yipping language before returning to common, his face returning to its normal beaming self

"Oi oi! Pretty handy there ya! You saved us a whole lot of trouble you did. Can I buy you a drink ya?"

[MeklorIlavator]

Michael
As the bodies of the attackers hit the floor, Michaelt turns to the door and asks in a shaky voice W-W-Who are you?. He points his rapier at the stranger, but the tip is noticeably shaking.

[Gorgondantess]

Jack's smile takes on a sinister look, and he sheaths his swords, then picks up his bow and unstrings it, retreating back into his corner without another word.

[Darius]

Keishara Embermist

In a voice that is louder than needed, Keishara gives away that the roar still rings in her ears, "BE WARY OF THE GREASE, IT FALLS FRIEND AND FOE ALIKE." She puts her sling and bullets back at her belt and approaches the assembled group.

"MY NAME IS..." the attractive elf stops and considers what to say for a moment before continuing, "MISTY. I AM AFRAID I CANNOT HEAR SO WELL RIGHT NOW, SO UNLESS YOU WRITE DOWN YOUR MESSAGE I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND YOU."

[Townopolis]

Faervarhed

The gnome in the corner quietly leans his staff against the wall and sits down on the floor, not bothering to hoist himself up onto a stool. He pulls his cloak around his shoulders, his eyes fixing on the still twitching reptilian forms.

[Knight13]

Darolis

Darolis wipes his sword off on one of the corpses, slams it back into its scabbard and looks around the room. "Is everyone alright?"

[Innis Cabal]

Ran Kang

Ran removes a fan from seemingly nowhere, slowly fanning himself off

"Yare yare...the little beasty near gave me a heart attack and cut me something awful is all. But thank you for asking! Such manners after a fight like that, maybe we're not all doomed ya?"

[melileaya]

Alannia Silverarrow

" I am fine but can I help someone?"

[Knight13]

Darolis

((Technically, Ran wasn't cut, just burned by fire and acid. ))

"Here, I can take care of that." Darolis approaches Ran and touches his shoulder while touching one of the three moonstones set in his belt with his other hand. The moonstone glows softly and Ran's wounds close.

Healing Belt, 1 charge: (2d8)[12]

After healing Ran, Darolis turns to the spellcaster in the doorway. "Greetings and thank you for your aid against those creatures, are there more of them about?"

[Paramour Pink]

The Kaori Kind

Kaori was both relieved and repulsed by the dead monsters that had attacked. She wondered what had provoked those odd creatures, but thought it meant nothing to everyone's safety. When she saw that the most wonderous Elyia and the brave Vimak was fine, she quickly knelt aside the downed man. She tried to restore him with first aid.

Kurt the Adventurer is being focused on by Kaori.

Heal check to stablise him. (1d20)[20] +7 = 27.

The Healer class gets the Healing Hands skill trick for free. So If I stablise that man, he also gets healing a little. (1d6)[2]

[pyktheprince]

Cadel
Cadel feels relieved that the worst is over, and, for some reason, he feels a sort of kinship with those who fought with him. "Does anyone need their wounds to be healed?"

[ColdSepp]

"Vimak"
HP=14/22

"I could use some healing." Vimak says.

[AetherFox]

The elf looks behind him through the door, and makes sure that no one is following him. When he speaks, his voice is small but commanding.
"There is no time. There are many more like those coming."
He reaches into the folds of his robes and pulls out a small green crystal. Clenching it tightly in his hand, he closes his eyes and concentrates. Before your eyes, the elf and his clothes pull appart, further and further, until they detach, making two separate beings enitly. They speak as one.
"Each of you, grab hold of one of us. We are going to teleport. I will explain everything when we are safe."
As he speaks to you, you can finally se that he is old, extreamly old. His skin is a pale gray, and his face is lined with wrinkles.

Kaori notices that Kurt is long dead, and that the other adventurers have fled.

I'd hate to relate this too much to a game, but I have to admit that I am taking an idea from Fable 2. In the world, the vast majority of people are average, but some are known as 'heroes'. (/heroins) Some heroes are more powerful than others. You all are one. A lot of the time it isn't too special, and don't think that there aren't NPC heroes. Anyway, done with the video game referance.
