Re: Southern Comfort IC
Gregor:
It looks as though the rest of the party will run straight into them soon enough. The open stream-bed area where they're standing isn't more than 50 feet across between stream and trees. You can try to work your way SE along the treeline towards them, charge out into the open, fall back on the rest of the party, or do something else.
Everyone else but especially Delphi and Dardiana:
You're still descending downhill and are conscious of the stream below and to either side of you. You hear the raised voices not too far ahead.
"Bethlen Gabriel", who's moved a little ahead thanks to her long human legs, stops, lifts her head, and starts to curl her lips back from her teeth. Which are perfectly normal, by the way.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Grath says, "Grath wonder if other survivors than Bethlen and merchant daughter. On bright side, all foes dressed alike."
Grath gets his arms limbered up as he moves towards the voices, still trying to move quietly and remain unseen in the trees until he sees the enemy:

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Gregor will try to sneak a bit closer along the edge of the forest to within 120 feet from nearest bandit first and to 60 feet from him after he's sure no one is specifically looking around. After taking position Gregor will wave his dogs to also sneak closer with Abyss right next to him.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Actually, Grath pulls his bow back out. If we are going to fight, and we are close enough, he will drop the bow and charge straight in, whirling and wailing away at the foes, but if they are too far away, he'll shoot first then move closer and charge.
He moves near the front of the group, attempting to see the enemy so he can gauge the tactics he needs to use.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Grath picks his way carefully, intending to enter the map at A-11.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
When Gregor sees his teammates approach (likely around the time Grath enters A11, but this may vary) he will step back, lead big dog to L2, mount, move to M3. If still unnoticed, he will attempt to cause some real surprise charging at R8 (from Q7); otherwise he'll use the tree for cover and throw a javelin. Once things start moving, smaller dogs will advance to like O7, N8, M6, L7 or some such, still trying to keep a low profile until in attack range.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Thorwald moves forward a little behind Grath and to the side, morningstar and shield in hand (intending to enter at A10).
He listens intently for signs of the argument escalating. No reason for risking death, if they are about to do themselves in.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Dardiana, Bethlen, and Delphi are in the lead. Putting these guys at G10, H11, and I11 respectively unless they have other opinions. (Bethlen's sure to complain, I know)
Gregor: Are you really sure? Attacking ten guys by yourself before your own team is in position?
Anyone listening to the argument between the maroon (at s9) and the redcloak leader hears most of the following. The maroon appears to have launched into a tirade.
"...he told you do what? Ajneguhs told you to do WHAT? "Scout around and get to know the neighbourings", not "knock over a caravan on the Fall". These people are not SHEEP. That flippitijibbit Vierzehn's got a company at Trammelburgh, and even if he is a fop I wouldn't want to face him on the flat or in the rough. Then there's that nightmare whore at Whitewater Rip. She could get a hundred striders down here tomorrow and YOU'D never see her coming. She's got enough witchery to get past Ajneguhs' little games as well, assuming they're actually his.
And to top it off, you went and grabbed a girl. Very smart. How long do you think she's going to last? If we'd come along a half-hour later you scum would have had her bleeding out already. People remember, in these parts, when girls go missing. And who took them. And what to do with the latter. At least tell me you didn't leave any other survivors!"
There's a bit of a mumble.

PCs bolded for easier visibility. Except Marn. The code is there, but apparently there's a glitch.
You all get one full move, including attacks if you want, but this is about as close as we're getting without somebody hearing something. After you make your surprise move, roll initiative and we'll go from there. Gregor and his dogs get a free extra move action, to make up for missing his OOC posting about confirming the...frontal charge on a numerous enemy well equipped with missile weapons. None of them will need to waste a turn drawing, BTW. They'll be drawing during their move actions or instead of.
Trees do block movement and count as concealment if there's one in line of sight to a foe.
Enemies will be unawares for this first full round, then will act on initiative as follows:
Maroons:(1d20+2)[12]
Redcloak Boss::(1d20+2)[20]
Redcloak Archers:(1d20+1)[18]

Re: Southern Comfort IC
And it begins:
Bethen, slipping past Delphi with a fell look, moves to N12. She makes an odd gesture with her hand, and says, as loudly as you've heard her speak yet, something that sounds like "Frenzied Murder"
A sudden squall of black feathered wings, stabbing beaks, and hooked claws assails the redcloaks at Q11, Q12, and the boss at S10.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
"There's a time to reap and there's a time to sow." Thorwald whispers under his breath, a big vicious smile on his handsome face.
He runs forward, ready to blast the maroons as soon as he's able. (Thorwald ($) moves to P8)
SpoilerI am right in thinking that he can't reach anyone this round, right? Cause otherwise he'd of course try that. I'm just not very used to this grid thing, sorry.Last edited by AshesOfOld; 2012-07-04 at 12:30 PM. Reason: grammar

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Delphi moves her sling to her offhand, taking out one of her javelins with a fluid motion as she darts through the trees (to M9), quietly and quickly, staying low and unassuming. She hurls the weapon at the nearest redcloak near her, hoping to strike swift and true and to remove some of the weaker threats from the fight swiftly.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
Grath moves to L13 (6 squares, his full movement). It is unclear (to me) if this is the surprise round or a free turn of action before surprise round. If it is the surprise round and Grath gets a partial action he stops at L13.
If he gets a full round of actionsSpoilerhe shoots his bow at the maroon in square R-8.
to hit: (1d20+2)[11]
damage: (1d6)[4]
If necessary, to confirm critical: (1d20+2)[17]
critical damage(2d6)[6]
If not he prepares to charge, dropping his shortbow on the ground and drawing the greataxe as he moves.

Re: Southern Comfort IC
((It is a full surprise turn followed by regular moves in initiative order. The regular "surprise round" rules (standard actions only) seem more appropriate to a dungon setting.))
The Redcloak struck by Delphi's javelin staggers under the shrieking roil of raven's wings. He isn't down, yet.
Grath's arrow flies wide. The maroons look around with mild interest.
((Well, there was a chance we wouldn't have had to fight them.))

Re: Southern Comfort IC
(Screw non-fighting, throw spears!)
Dardiana follows Delphi through the trees and goes in the other direction as her as they reach the edge (M11). She takes a moment to understand what's going on before lobbing an eldritch blast at the same target as Delphi.

Q11 redcloak swordsman is blasted to the ground by Dardiana's hit, and lies still. The Ravens still are shrieking.
((The bleeding damage would have sorted him anyway, but this saves on paperwork. Also, Dardiana, you're now in a tree. Spiderclimb?))

Re: Southern Comfort IC
All right time to join the fight, I'll use my surprise round to cast Extended Summon Monster I (metamagic school focus feat lessens spell level cost for MM feats by 1 so extended are cast at same level as spell used) and summon a celestial badger in K15(I think thats the closest spot to the enemies that my spell can reach) and for his action I'll have him rage and I think eh can charge that redcloak in S14 if he cant charge he'll take a move action to get to O15 and charge next round.
Badger rolls if he can charge:SpoilerAttack: [roll]1d20+10[/roll]
Confirm:(1d20+10)[29]
Damage: (1d2+3)[4]
Then my initiative: (1d20+2)[11]
And finally on my actually next turn I will move to... J14(I think thats the farthest I can move with having to dodge trees)Last edited by Corsair420; 2012-07-04 at 11:42 PM.

Horbin will take a more readied grip on his blade and rush past trees in a double move, (i can do that in the surprise round right?) moving first to H6, then to J6 and finally ending in L8, trying to avoid the trees and underbrush.
