Encounter 1 - Marauder Attack

[BowenSilverclaw]

@Bowen
[spoiler]You can't take a 5' step into difficult terrain. Isn't N10 difficult terrain?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]You're right, sorry 'bout that

Edited post, he managed to avoid the AoO.[/quote]

[BowenSilverclaw]

As soon as the shortsword-wielding hobgoblin lands his blow upon Yamanu, searing flames leap out from the wound and dance up the blade of the sword, shooting straight up at the hobgoblin's arm.

[spoiler]Immediate action: Fire Riposte
Melee Touch attack: 1d20(14)+7=21
Damage: 4d6(6,1,6,3)= 16 fire damage
[/spoiler]

As the flames leap up his blade and onto his arm the warrior cries out in pain as his flesh is burned.
[spoiler]Hit for 16 damage.[/spoiler]

[BowenSilverclaw]

MAP:

[bearsarebrown]

Saru speeds out of the mist, avoiding the Hound, and reaches the large group of enemies surrounding his allies. He switches to Draconic form and spews a cloud of entangling flames. His allies are magically protected from it, as it burns and locks down the nearby goblins.

[spoiler]Whoo! I get to use Power Surge because my DB breath weapon is up next round!

Move: to L16. Should just be able to avoid the AoOs from HH1 and still make it there.
Standard: Power Surge Entangling Cone Fire Breath!
     Damage=22*1/2= 11, Entangled for 3 Rounds
     DC 23

Dragonborn weapon recharge is done.
1 round on DFA breath.

Ending turn in Birdie, need that AC![/spoiler]

[BowenSilverclaw]

As Saru lands in front of the group of warriors, he unleashes a blast of scaulding hot flames, engulfing the enemies, but leaving his allies unharmed.

[spoiler]5,6,7 and the caster are hit, like you posted in the OOC thread.

What's the DC on your Breath Weapon for half damage?
5: 13
6: 20
7: 21
INV: 14
[/spoiler]
The Hobgoblins cry out in pain as they're engulfed by the shapeshifter's breath and the invisible caster falls to the ground in a pile of molten flesh.

[BowenSilverclaw]

The hound locked in a grapple with the crab attempts to bite at the summoned creature, but it can't reach the crab in it's current position.

The other dog continues harassing Goldflower, snapping its jaws at the old woman who barely manages to stay out of reach.

[spoiler]HH2 bites at the Crab, but misses.
HH1 5-ft steps to K10 and bites at Goldflower, he misses as well.[/spoiler]

Phaedrus and Nanshork are up next.

[PhaedrusXY]

Kalal casts a spell, and directs his mount to attack the hound snapping at the giantess. [spoiler]Cast No Light, centered on the invisible dude's square, and his mule 5' step towards HH1 and full attacks.

1d20+5=21, 1d4+3=5, 1d20+5=8, 1d4+3=7

Kalal takes the damage in his delayed pool, dropping him to 46/59, I think. Will check later, and also he is granted his last readied maneuver.

[spoiler]You can't 5-ft step into difficult terrain. Also, moving directly north would put you into RW3's square.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
Oh, I didn't even see the compass.  I'm not a cartographer, North equals Up!

Noticing that the giantess isn't in the best of health, Kalal decides to patch her up a bit before she disappears into the fog. [spoiler]Immediate action Close Wounds for 1d4+4=6.[/spoiler]

[Nanshork]

Goldflower is completely changing her action.

She dismounts her horse, then with her innate powers makes herself invisible.

[spoiler]
Ride check for free dismount: 8

Dismount as a move action to square M9.

Other move action to make self invisibible for one minute.
[/spoiler]

[BowenSilverclaw]

As Goldflower dismounts and vanishes into thin air, her Crab squeezes the last bit of life out of its prey.

Kalal's warmount moves into position and bloodies the hound in front of it.

[spoiler]HH2 is dying. HH1 takes 5 points of damage[/spoiler]

ROUND 6:

MAP:



Initiative:Venn and Agita are up.

[VennDygrem]

Disappearing within the cloud of shadow, even his allies cannot see Yamanu; however, they've seen this trick before, and know what's coming next.

Yamanu shifts his position slightly before loosing a volley of bladed-death at his enemies.

[spoiler]5-ft step to P19

Full ranged attack - TWF + Rapid Shot (aimed initially at BB, then RW8, then RW7, and so forth)
Enemies denied dex bonus vs. invisible foe
1d20(4)+12=16+AP=19
1d20(14)+11=25
1d20(17)+11=28
AP: 1d6(3)=3

Possible Damage:
1d4(4)+2d6(4,2)+14=26
1d3(2)+2d6(5,1)+11=19
1d3(2)+2d6(1,2)+11=16

And for good measure, Move Silently:
1d20(6)+18=24
And Hide, in case that's an issue (plus I just wanted to roll it )
1d20(13)+38=51

[spoiler]
AoO's provoked by making a ranged attack:
BB: Miss.
RW8: Hit for 10 damage.


Sorry, they're not denied their Dex bonus, so no precision damage.
