[Adventure]: Stormcrow Tor (Judge: THB)

ooc

Hmm... if she can't cut the corner, then I don't think she can avoid ending her turn adjacent to the wall and still hit the specter with Rebuke Undead. She'll have to do something different.

[H.M.Gimlord]

"Oh bloody #e11!"

Aarkavas you Jackalope! What was going through that ruddy little brain of yours. Now you've done it!

OOC

OK Impact you win. I didn't realize that the lightly obscured wall squares would grant TOTAL concealment to the kenku. Sorry about that.

Another unforeseen tradgedy is that I have to stay where I am if I'm going to sustain the wall. If I move from here, I lose line of effect to either end. I'm not even sure how many of them I got or how many more will attack before I get another move, since I seem to have lept out unaware of their initiative rolls.

Velmont, could you please post the initiative rolls, so that the rest of the group knows the order in which they will go?

-Nevermind. Got confused- got Narvala and Sweetness mixed up

No worries, things like this definitely make combat more interesting, and it was a fun move! I think you must have gotten all five you targeted at least, since they technically will have started their turns adjacent to your wall.

I don't think the initiative order would have mattered, since they probably had been delaying their turns since we broke down the door.

Narvala

I don't think anyone but Arkavas would have seen the specter.
Edit: Hmm, nevermind, I went back and looked at the map..

[Velmont]

OOC

Initiative: Impact is right. They have been readying action since you have bashed through the door. As soon as most of the party would have entered the room, or as soon as anyone would have attacked them (which you just did), they would start to attack. From now on, all the monsters have acted, so it is up to you all, and you act in order posted, like last combat.

Total Concealement: Not exactly, you have given cover to everyone, so everyone have tried to sneak... I was just lucky on this round sneaking rolls, that's why you only see the specter fighting a tribal.

Specter: Only Arkavas have seen the specter, but I assume that such information is spoken to the remaining of the group, even more with the mindlink. Arkavas have proven he shares every thought with everyone

[pathfinderq1]

Sweetness hated the idea of a stand-off- she was ready to fight. Still, she was not dumb enough to simply charge into the room. Instead, she took a long step to stand beside Arkavras; with her torch still in one paw, she shifted her dagger into a throwing grip...

OOC: Shift one square, so she is standing next to Arkavras. Ready action to attack the first kenku that becomes visible (besides the one fighting the specter), with Disheartening Strike; 1d20+12 vs. AC= 16 (miss); damage 1d4+6= 9 (if not a minion); rolls Roll Lookup .

[H.M.Gimlord]

If Arkavas has his turn this round

Minor: Sustain Caustic Rampart
Minor: Draw repeating crossbow (off hand)
Standard: Second Wind (+10 to HP and +2 to all defenses)

AC = 23
Fort = 17
Ref = 19
Will = 18

[drothgery]

(redoing Narvala's action because what I posted earlier isn't possible)
Narvala steps up slightly to gain a clear line of sight to the specter, then throws a ball of radiant energy at the specter, hitting it and pushing it back.

ooc

Move to K7 if she has line of sight from there, or K6 otherwise, and then use Sun Strike.

Sun Strike (1d20+9=24, 1d8+7=13) 24 vs. Ref HITS; 13 radiant damage (plus a Specter is vulnerable 5 radiant), and the specter is pushed back one square to B3.

[Erekose13]

As above, Gogmorthak moves up to stand in front of Arkavas, readying an action to attack the first kenku to move next to him.

[Impact]

Radtash shifts back into his human form, and moves to stand behind Arkavas, then yells into the mausoleum: "Stop hiding, come out and fight, or we will show you no mercy!"

Mechanics

Minor Action: Wild Shape to human form
Move Action: Walk to M5
Standard Action: Radtash attempts to intimidate the Kenkus into fighting in melee range: 1d20+13=30

[Velmont]

OOC

I've updated the map, but I still miss Gruff actions before the next round.

[Velmont]

OOC

48h delay have expired. So I'll NPC Gruff for this round.

Gruff move in front of Sweetness, ready to lure anyone who would come in reach, so Gog could easily slice through him.

During that time, in the room, your see the kenku moving away from the specter, and sneak out of sight of you, and probably of the specter too, as the specter doesn't follow him. He instead look at Narvala before fading away.

In front of them, the group see only an empty room, knowing too well there is still enemies roaming in it.

OOC

Kenku are sneaking away of the specter (people already sneaking stay sneaking and the last kenku rolled over 20), and the specter became invisible.

Not much action this round, what you do?

[Impact]

Radtash's skin pales and breaks out into a cold sweat. Darkness has dominion here. I can see no way to reveal our foes, and I do not care for the thought of hunting them down amidst those tombs. Light, please aid us.

OOC

Dang, spooky. Here we are, standing in the entry to an old crypt, knowing that it is full of freaky bird-men and undead, yet all we can see is an empty room.

Anyone have a good idea? I am thinking Radtash might just ready Astral Seal, with the hopes that Arkavas will be able to attack next and benefit from the healing effect.

Alternatively, I could spend a standard action on a perception check, and maybe spot of a few of them. That could at least help Narvala know where to drop a burst attack.

Note to Velmont

Can I have a standing order that Radtash will use his Bastion of Mental Clarity immediate interrupt whenever Radtash and at least one ally are attacked by a will attack?

[Velmont]

OOC

FYI: Doing a perception check is a minor.

Interrupt noted.

[H.M.Gimlord]

"Oh bloody #e11 again!"

What! Do you think I can keep this thing going for ever?

Actions

Minor: Sustain Caustic Rampart
Minor: Perception = 1d20+10=24

If perception reveals an enemy:

Standard: Magic Weapon
Target: Depends on perception results
Attack: 1d20+10=24 Again?
Damage: 1d8+5=9

OK! Everybody except Narvala gets a +1 to attack and +3 to damage until the end of my next turn. Sorry Narvala, you're not standing next to me.

"Don't be shy now lads. There's enough for everybody..."

[Velmont]

Looking through the wall he has created, Arkavas finally see one tribal trying to hide between the sarcophagus. He quickly launch his bolt, killing the creature.

OOC

You have killed one more tribal.

[Impact]

Radtash concentrates on the room, opening and stretching all of his senses. Stilling his body and breathing, Radtash listens carefully, sniffs the air, peers intently, and even tries to sense stray thoughts floating on the air.

Mechanics

Minor action: Perception check (1d20+8=26)

[Velmont]

OOC

You see nothing more. Either they are simply out of sight or they have a better sneak roll.

[Impact]

Radtash, still a bit spooked, prepares to defend his allies.

Mechanics

Readied action: Attack first enemy within range with Sacred Flame.
Attack: 1d20+8=26 vs. Ref.
Hit: 1d6+4=9 radiant damage, and Arkavas gains 6 temporarily hits points or makes a saving throw.

[Erekose13]

ooc: while the fog is still threatening to poison us and effectively hiding the kenku I don't think we can really afford to move in. If the fog were gone, Gogmorthak would just rush in and try to find something to kill.

"You able to stop that fog? Can't really get in there and crush the bird men with it there." says Gogmorthak over the link waiting still for something to come out of the fog that he can kill.

[H.M.Gimlord]

OOC

Sorry about he concealment. I didn't count on that becomming an issue. I should have read up on Kenku and Caustic Rampart before I tried this. In any case, I think I thinned the numbers significantly. I'll kill the wall on my next turn.
