Rhun - Roak "Cairnwalker" - Warblade

Roak growls and ignores the pain of the latest strikes, losing himself in the battle. Planting his feet firmly, Cairnwalker again assumes the Stonefoot Stance best used against giant foes. The knight again swings his blade at what he judges to be the most heavily injured of the two ogiers, but without much force behind the strike...



Stonefoot Stance Active (+2 AC vrs large creatures, +2 STR checks)
AC: 23 or 25 vrs large creatures, HP: 27/53

If Roak gets an AoO vrs. the ogier trying to skirt him, he will take it. Also, Roak will use his move action to regain Steel Wind, following it up with the successful attack as required.

Attack: 24 (26 with Alban's +2), Damage 11 (13 with Alban's +2)

Stances: Stance of Clarity, Stonefoot Stance
Maneuvers Readied: Moment of Perfect Mind, Steel Wind, Leading the Attack, Tactical Strike

Leif Hobgoblin Soldier (Lvl 3)
Nijel Bladesong, Paladin of Light

Nijel's current status: HP: 41-1=40 of 48, AC 20 (currently 21, thanks to Alban)

Nijel sees that victory will be within his grasp very soon, but he is needed elsewhere on the battlefield, so he says, "Alban, kindly dispatch the foe between us to your left while I take the one to my left, and then I must fly to Kat's aid!" And, turning his attention back to his current foe, "Grrrrrr, I thought that was a mosquito bite! Do you consider that a worthy blow in mortal combat? Allow me to deomonstrate the proper execution for you. You will never make that mistake again, AAAAAGGHH!!"

Nijel's swing and damage at the orc in F,12 = 17 to hit, 11 damage (If Nijel missed, he's going to feel foolish!) http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1408155 (I finally got all my bonuses right this time!)

OOC: If Nijel hits and puts the orc down, then he will make all possible haste to K,11 to attack the ogier that's fighting Kat, and draw its attention away from her. "Sorry Kat, Alban pre-empted my action and left me to kill this last orc, the sorry fellow!"

Thanks for the map! Padraig's action will be the same as posted, but he'll move to K14 to try to get as many allies as possible in his aura. I think the only one outside it will be Ewan.

Alban

Having dispatched his own foes, Alban says to Nigel, "I'm going for an Ogre, stand firm my friend." He charges the nearest approaching Ogre using the reach of his longaxe to stand off and fight in a powerful swing (1d20+9=20) that inflicts a massive wound (1d12+16=23) on the hulking foe.

OOC: Powerattack taking 3 from to hit and adding 6 to damage. (I left off that extra +2 on damage when I rolled, but added it to my post.) AC at -2 for the charge this round. +1 AC to allies within 10', all allies within earshot gain +2 to attack, damage, ability and skill checks for round number three then it ends. I can't see the map due to a new firewall at work. Alban would prefer to attack one of the Ogres on Roak, but if they are more than 45' away, he'll settle for the one that got past.

The Ambush

Remember most of you will have to move more than ten feet in order to engage the ogiers.... so this round you will get no attacks if i remember the rules correctly.

OOC: I planned to charge meaning a double move (40'). I can't make a full attack, but can still get in a standard attack. With a reach weapon I get another 5' hence the 45' unless I'm missing something?

I'm currently running a fantasy genre game using the HERO game system. I've played around with a few others, but it's been years since I did anything other than HERO and D&D.

AHEM!! Well, Mr. DM, Nijel still has one more orc to dispatch, if that's ok with you:

Nijel leans down, and reaches out as far as he can reach, swinging his razor-sharp battleaxe about knee level, and he cuts the orc off at the knee! http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1408800, 22 to hit, 14 damage.

"Alban, wait for me!"

Andor

Andor moved only 5' to M16 to attack Ogier at Roak's right side. Besides, he was ready to charge if need be.

For Mowgli

I played GURPS Gulliver for most of last 10 years, before that AD&D (D&D2). This is my first venture in D&D 3+ ... if we continue this we should change over to OOC thread, OK?

Incorrect. You are allowed a standard move and still take one attack. You are only allowed a 5' move if you wish to make a full attack. A charge can be up to a double move with a single attack at the finish. However the charge must be in a straight line.

All these take place on the character's initiative. Some feats and class abilities may change certain parameters, but those are the basics of combat movement.

The problem of moving near the ogiers is their reach and trying to avoid the attacks of opportunity for leaving threatened areas. A 5' step does not provoke an AoO.

Ewan continues scooting from the orc chasing him firing when he gets enough clearance then moves in behind Aidan and Padraig. Seeing his friends threatened by the Ogiers, Ewan starts sighting in on the ogiers.

OOC
AC 17 HP 20 / 39
Moving to I18 shooting from G19 at orc chasing Ewan.
Point Blank Shot = 27 (Threat)
Confirm Threat? = 15
Damage = 6 (Crit = 48)

Trusting Andor & Roak to provide cover from the ogiers to the north, Aidan again laces his blast with corrosive power from his gloves and sends a third bolt screaming towards the ogier mage he's been pummeling.

EB Touch Attack: 18
EB Damage: 8 + 2 Acid = 10

Aidan then moves 10' west along the road to centrally position himself to be able to aid any who need it.
