After having cut through part of the forest the previous day with Jorr's help, you finish your endeavour to reach the Dawn Way, the most likely place to encounter a goblinoid patrol, early the following day. During camp last night Jorr has informed you that aside from patrols similar to the one you encountered, he has also noticed the occasional Goblins mounted on Leopards used as fast scouts.
As you lay in wait along the side of the road, not unlike the Hobgoblin patrol that ambushed you not too long ago, you can feel the hot sun beating down on the landscape beneath, sweat dripping from your foreheads. Suddenly Jorr starts gesturing towards the north indicating that he sees something.
OOC:
Agita, Phaedrus, Nanshork & Risada: Please roll Hide, Move Silently, Listen, Spot and Initiative.
Venn: Please roll Initiative, saw your other rolls in the other thread :)
Everyone: You approached from the east, so please pick a location for yourself on the map below on the east side of the road and at row 12 or below (to make sure we can get the entire combat on the map :)).

Terrain:
Most of the forest squares are filled with light undergrowth (2 squares to enter, provides concealment) and trees (provide cover to creatures in the same square). The escarpment of the road cut is a steep slope covered by light undergrowth ) 4 squares to enter.

Kalal peers out from the rocky escarpment, trying to ignore the sweat beading on his brow.
[spoiler]Initiative: 1d20+4=20 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2619341/)
Spot and Listen: 1d20+2=16, 1d20+2=4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2619342/)
Hide and MS:
1d20-13=0, 1d20-13=-4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2619343/)
You know... I'm going to go without the tower shield, actually. That makes his rolls 10 and 6 for Hide and MS, respectively
Kalal will start inside the ground at P12, with just his face and one ear peeking out of the rocks and rubble on the side of the embankment. He is not moving, and hopefully being almost completely buried will give him some kind of big circumstance bonus to hide. :P
Can he start in a stance, or do I need to use a swift action to enter one?
Roll for granted manuevers:

Kalal whispers "Kill the mounts. We want them alive, remember?"
-
Only seconds after Yamanu alerts you all to something he's heared and readies his deadly blade, you see a troop of four Goblins mounted on Leopards coming over the ridge in the road towards the west.
Three of the small creatures are wearing leather and wielding a bow, while the fourth is wearing a chain shirt with additional protection (OOC: chahar-aina & dastana). The big cats are wearing light studded leather barding for protection and move at a quick pace, all of the enemies apparently unaware of your presence until it is already too late.
As Yamanu tosses his blade with great precision, the front leopard, carrying the chain-wearing goblinoid, roars out in pain as the blade strikes true, blood flowing profusely from the creature's wound (OOC: Confirmed crit and SA for a total of 35 damage on BM's Leopard mount).
OOC: The party gets a surprise round before normal combat starts, so you can all take a single move or standard action.

Seeing as this is a surprise round, feel free to post your action whenever you're online. Keeps it going and all that...
Good luck, guys :)

Kalal smiles grimly as he sees the knife lodge itself in the cat's neck. He bursts free from the rocks and earth concealing him, and roars as he launches himself at the wounded animal, trying to finish it off.
[spoiler]I don't guess you'd let me use "Battle Leader's Charge", would you? It is supposed to require a full-round action, but that's obviously because charging is normally a full round action. Assuming not. If so, add 10 to any damage he inflicts. Bah, I don't even have that readied, much less granted... :banghead
Immediate action: Earth Devotion to ignore difficult terrain.
Standard action: "partial" charge to M12 and attacks BM's mount.
Att/Dmg (axe in two hands): 1d20+11=17, 1d10+4=12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2620667/)
He should threaten all of the goblins and their mounts from that spot, but might not be able to make an AoOs on them due to soft cover from BM. They'll still suffer the effects of Iron Guard's Glare if they don't move, though.
Forgot to roll for his new granted manuever:
Available:
1 Leading the Attack
2 Tactical Strike
3 Foehammer
1d3=1 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2620717/)
So Leading the Attack is granted.
His Combat Stats are the same as in my last post, except his AC drops to 18 from charging, his attack increases by 3 (charging, morale), and he has also that maneuver granted.[/spoiler]
-
Almost in unison with Kalal, Harika leaps from the foliage, sword already in hand. Though she didn't choose an ideal hiding place and thus lacks enough momentum to execute an attack, she smiles confidently at the goblins now essentially trapped between her and Kalal.
[spoiler]Standard action: Move to K9. The slope shouldn't be a problem, as it can just be jumped down, right?
Unfortunately, I can't make a partial charge like Kalal did - they're too close (and I don't get to ingore difficult terrain). :(
Goldilocks, a summon in J10 would be neat to ensure that they're really trapped. :D

[spoiler]DC 10 Jump check to cover the distance, but Harika automatically succeeds on that, so no biggie :)[/spoiler]
-
As Kalal charges out of the dirt one could almost see a look of horror on the beast's face, as if it knew that its time was up. At the end of his lunge, the dwarf warrior manages to bury his axe in the cat's skull, it's body going numb and slumping to the ground.
Although obviously shocked by the sudden attack, its rider manages to avoid ending up underneath his mount, and is now standing infront of the axe-wielding dwarf, obviously nervous of what is to come.
OOC:
[spoiler]No, no Battle Leader's Charge, but you didn't need it anyway ;)[/spoiler]

Kalal says "Let's see how you stinkin' goblins like this ambush!!"
-
[spoiler]By the way, these are the maneuvers I wanted to have readied:
Distracting Ember (DW 1) - (Boost) Conjure a small Fire Elemental up to 30 ft. away that can flank with you, but can not make attacks.
Fire Riposte (DW 2) - (Counter) When a creature successfully strikes you with a melee or natural weapon, make an immediate melee touch attack. Success deals 4d6 points of fire damage.
Cloak of Deception (SH 1) - (Boost) Turn invisible (as greater invisibility) until end of the turn.
Shadow Jaunt (SH 2) - As a standard action, teleport 50 ft. within line of sight/effect.[/spoiler]
As the longknife returns to his hand, Yamanu suddenly disappears from the goblins' view, reappearing in the trees behind them.
[spoiler]Using Shadow Jaunt to teleport 50 ft., hopefully to M7, or otherwise as close to there as possible, so that Yamanu can hide in the trees and attack unseen. :)

Squealing in pain, the goblin tries to get out of the centipede's fangs, but it's already to late to prevent the poison from doing its work.
OOC: 9 damage and 1 Dex damage for LR3.
Taking advantage of the confusion of the ambush, Jorr takes a shot at one of the mounts, an arrow getting embedded in the beast's shoulder.

ROUND 1:
The Goblin in front of Kalal starts chanting loudly in an attempt to be heard over Sckhar’s horn, and swiftly jumps onto the back of the leopard of his compatriot (Ride: 28; free action to mount LR1’s Leopard), but in doing so leaves open his defenses (Tumble 10).
Kalal gets an Attack of opportunity against BM.
He then drops his backpack in an attempt to lighten the encumbered beast’s load.

Yamanu shifts his position slightly, then unleashes metalline death upon the riders' mounts, his longknife and two keenly-aimed daggers raining down on the foes.
[spoiler]Are the trees difficult terrain while I'm already in them, or just to enter the wooded area? If the latter, I'll take a 5-ft step to N8, otherwise I'll just have to stay put.
Attacking LR2's mount first, and if it goes down, LR1's mount (and so-on for LR3 if necessary). Opponents are flat-footed as they have yet to act this round.
Using Rapid Shot and TWF for 3 total attacks.

Also, thank goodness for our wonderful new Bardic companion! Truly, you have made this Death Volley possible. :D
[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Every square in the woods is difficult terrain at a cost of 2 squares for each 1 square moved.[/spoiler]
With his deadly hail of knives Yamanu manages to kill both of the cats in one volley.
OOC: LR2's mount and LR1's mount are both dead.
-
[spoiler]
LR1's mount has taken 23 points of damage.
After Jorr's 19 damage, so the thing's taken 42 points of damage so far. Man, these are tough leopards. :P

Kalal smiles grimly at the goblin's lapse in defenses, and drives his axe home, deciding to go for blood rather than just immobilize the creature.
[spoiler]att; dmg 1d20+13=29, 1d20+7=10 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2622467/)

1d10+7=15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2622794/)
and I got a better roll with the d10, lol[/spoiler]
Then after Yamanu's volley of death kills the mounts he says "Leaving so fast?" and swings his axe at the same goblin again. As he swings, he takes a small step to stand over his enemies fallen mount, to better threaten all of the goblins.
[spoiler]Mountain Hammer this bastard.
1d20+13=14, 1d20+7=13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2622476/)
ah crap. Not bothering with the extra damage.
5' step to L11.

So Tactical Strike granted. Only Foehammer ungranted, and Mountain Hammer expended.

Goldflower smiles to herself, satisfied as she invisibly watches the battle. Her little cutie pie bites at the goblin again.
[spoiler]
Centipede Attack: 10 Damage: 12 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2622728/)
Aww. :(
[/spoiler]
-
Although the heavier armored Goblin screams out in pain as he is hit by Kalal's attack, both he and his companion manage to avoid the bulk of the body of their dead mount only a second later and end up on the ground without much trouble. The chain-wearing goblin even manages to find enough balance and stable footing to avoid the dwarf's axe hitting him a second time. His compatriot manages to deftly avoid the fangs of Goldflower's centipede monster.
OOC: BM takes one hit (AoO) for 15 damage.
-
The first of the goblins heads into the woods and throws a brown bag at the dangerous dwarven warrior, its contents revealing itself as a sticky goo quickly covering the dwarf and the ground beneath him.
OOC: LR2 moves to N9, provoking an AoO from both the Colonel and Kalal.
Kalal is hit by a Tanglefoot Bag. Phaedrus, please make a DC 15 Reflex save.
Kalal is Entangled: -2 attack, -4 Dex, move at half speed, cannot run or charge, Concentration DC 15+spell level to cast a spell (even on a succesful save these conditions apply).
On a failed save Kalal is glued to the floor and unable to move (previously mentioned entangled conditions still apply)(DC 17 Str check to break free or deal 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing damage (auto-hit, no attack roll needed)).
Once free, Kalal can move at half speed and cast spells with a DC 15 Concentration check.
The remaining goo becomes brittle and falls of, losing any remaining effectiveness, after 2d4=4 rounds.
The first of the goblins attempts to get away from the fray, but is quickly cut down by the Colonel's sword.
OOC: LR2 is unconscious.
The second of the goblins heads into the woods on the other side of the road and throws the same kind of bag filled with a gluelike substance as his companion, this one aimed at the Karrnathi officer.
OOC: LR1 moves to J13, provoking an AoO from both Goldflower’s Centipede and Kalal.
The Colonel is hit by a Tanglefoot Bag. Agita, please make a DC 15 Reflex save.
The Colonel is Entangled: -2 attack, -4 Dex, move at half speed, cannot run or charge, Concentration DC 15+spell level to cast a spell (even on a succesful save these conditions apply).
On a failed save the Colonel is glued to the floor and unable to move (previously mentioned entangled conditions still apply)(DC 17 Str check to break free or deal 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing damage (auto-hit, no attack roll needed)).
Once free, the Colonel can move at half speed and cast spells with a DC 15 Concentration check.
The remaining goo becomes brittle and falls of, losing any remaining effectiveness, after 2d4=4 rounds.
His companion doesn't fair any better as the dwarven warrior Kalal cuts the legs from underneath him.
OOC: LR1 is unconscious.
After the chain-wearing goblin snaps a quick order, the goblin who still has a living mount attempts to make a run for it, back to the west, hanging along the side of his leopard which bursts into a sudden sprint and attempts to dash right between the Colonel and Goldflower's pet.
However, after taking care of the other goblin, Kalal effortlessly hooks his axe behind the beast's legs and prevents it from getting away.
OOC: Kalal, the Colonel and Goldflower’s Centipede may make an AoO against LR3's mount (but not LR3 himself, since he has cover). If they survive, LR3 and his mount end their turn off the map.
Agita and Risada, go ahead.
-
"Going for a kill anyway, huh?" Jorr smirks as he unleashes a volley at the still chanting goblinoid and the goblinoid heading closer to him. The skald's body slumps to the floor after a swift arrow through the back of the neck while the other goblin curses in his native tongue as an arrow penetrates his shoulder.
OOC:
[spoiler]Rapid Shot at BM and LR1:
Attacks/Damage: 24,27/21,17 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2622966/)[/spoiler]
BM is deadunconscious, LR1 has taken 17 points of damage.
-
"Not so fast, boy." As the goblin retreats, the colonel swings her sword after him in a wide, horizontal arc. Unfortunately for the goblin, the soldier's sword-arm is faster than he is, and small arcs of electricity play around the sword and his armor as it bloodily rips through his side.
[spoiler]AoO: Full Power Attack. +3 to hit, +3 damage from Sckhar's IC.
AoO vs. LR2 (1d20+12-5=24, 2d6+20=25) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2623100/)
I assume that hits, so LR2 takes 25 damage, one of which is electricity. [/spoiler]
-
The goblin lets out a final deathscream before falling to the ground in an unceremonious heap of bleeding flesh.
OOC: LR2 is unconscious.

Sckhar stops blowing his horn and decides to join the fray with his longsword.
"Hey guys, leave some to me!"

[spoiler]What does LR3 have cover from? His mount? Doesn't that preclude him from throwing a tanglefoot bag this round, then?
Have LR3 or his mount been injured?
Will post actions after I get a reply. Kalal has enough AoOs left to hit them both, if that's an option.
Edit: Ah fuck, here are the rolls. Don't want to slow things down. Just disregard the ones you don't need.
Stand Still vs. Mount: 1d20+11=28, 1d10+7=9 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2624170/)
It has to make a DC 17 Reflex save or it can't move.
Lethal attack vs. goblin: 1d20+13=29, 1d10+7=13 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2624174/)[/spoiler]

Sckhar stops blowing his horn and decides to join the fray with his longsword.
"Hey guys, leave some to me!"
[spoiler]
Move: Move to K13
Standard: Attack at j13: 1d20+10=19; 1d8+7=9 (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11474726)
Inspire courage: 5 rounds left
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Have you read the blurb about terrain and movement cost in the first post of the thread? You can't move there in one move action.
Feel free to edit your action after I get the results of Phaedrus' AoO up :)[/spoiler]
-
As the Goblin tries to make a run for cover to attack the band of brave adventurers he suddenly feels hiss legs crumple beneath him from a mighty blow by Kalal's axe. As he lets out a shriek he falls to the floor, remaining motionless.
OOC: LR1 is unconscious.
After his onslaught on the Goblin the dwarven warrior manages to hook one of the hind legs of the remaining Leopard, preventing the beast from getting away.
OOC: Stand Still succesful, LR3 and his mount remain where they are.
-
[spoiler]I actually screwed the DC up. It should have been 19, not 17. Glad to see it didn't matter. :P[/spoiler]As he hooks the goblin's mount, checking its movement, Kalal says to him "Not so fast, Shorty! This might be a good time for you to start begging for mercy, though."
-
"Actually, you might want to save your breath for now." The colonel smiles, standing in front of the impeded goblin and his mount. "It can get pretty hard to breathe when someone does this to you." Harika then raises her sword high over her head, flicking droplets of goblin blood into the air, and brings it down with bone-shattering force, cutting through the goblin and his mount in one fell strike.
[spoiler]Swift action: Shift to Punishing Stance. -2 AC, +1d6 to damage.
Standard action: Steel Wind on the goblin and his mount - one attack for each. No Power Attack.
Steel Wind attack, damage: LR3, Mount (1d20+13=18, 3d6+8=24, 1d20+13=19, 3d6+8=22) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2624774/)
I have no idea if that hits, but it seems a bit low, so I'm going to spend an Action Point on the attack against LR3. Action point (1d6=4) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2624777/)
Attack vs. LR3 hits AC 22 for 24 damage, vs. mount hits AC 19 for 22 damage.
Note: I realized yesterday that I hadn't counted the +1 to hit/damage from my magic greatsword. Possibly because I'd forgotten to update my attack options section with her new BAB after she leveled.
Fake edit: Actually, I forgot the Inspire Courage damage bonus on the damage rolls (but not the attack rolls). Both should be 3 higher.

[spoiler]Don't forget the flanking bonus. I forgot it earlier on my attacks. :P[/spoiler]

With one fell swoop the Colonel slices right through the goblin and into his mount, gravely wounding the beast, which snarls in pain.
OOC: LR3 is dead, his mount takes 25 damage and is still conscious.
-
Kalal exclaims "By the gods, Harika! I thought we wanted to keep some of them alive to interrogate!"
-
"Calm down, dwarf. There's a difference between 'dead' and 'bleeding to death', in that the latter is easier to heal. This one's gone, but three should be enough. Don't worry, I have some band-aids in my pack."
-
"We'll see. It's not obvious that any of them are alive." Kalal says, and starts checking the goblins for pulses.
He ignores the large cat in front of him, assuming it will flee now that it's alone and riderless. If it doesn't, he's happy to ventilate it's skull if necessary.
He sacrifices his prepared No Light spells to cast Cure Minor Wounds and stabilize a couple of the goblins.
-
Yamanu remains hidden, watching the events and maintaining the advantage of not being known by his enemies.
[spoiler]New Hide check presumably required after the last attack:
1d20(19)+18=37 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2624975/)[/spoiler]
-
"So now we try to get these bleeding bastards back to Jorr's cabin without being spotted? Or are we going to do this interrogation somewhere closer by? All we need is something relatively private, like a cave or something...
Someone want to disarm and search these fools, while we're at it?"
-
After dealing a swift killing blow to the remaining leopard, you turn your attention to the unconscious goblins lying scattered across the road.
OOC: Please head back to the regular IC thread for interrogation etc.
