Adventure: Lord Byron's High-Seas High-Stakes (DM: Tenchuu, Judge: H.M.Gimlord)

Hergunna freezes as she spots the lightning-shrouded snake. "Sweet shade on the mountain..." She shifts back to human shape.

[sblock=ooc]Tenchuu, hope that's okay to shift back to human shape (minor action).

Kruk and Carolina, Hergunna has a Resist Elements utility power which can grant resist 5 lightning for a round to allies in a burst 1. The trick is that she has to actually be hit by lightning damage in order to use it. But you might want to try to stay within 1 square of her if it makes sense...[/sblock]

[sblock=Ryry/R1/John]
No problem on the minor to human form.

Just waiting on R1, I think. I am too lazy to map out the interior of the building, if you decided to go in rather than slip back out. So, I22 is a window, as is H19. Room is pretty much open.

John, it's a 10' just from where you guys are now, but if you move up to the north edge, its 5'.
[/sblock]

Kane stands up, his eyes red as his more gentle demeanor falls away and his brutish side comes out. He glares at the woman, his axe promising swift punishment for any further attacks on him, as the bugbear jumps through the window with perfect skill.

He moves like a ghost through the house towards the opposite window, ready to pounce on his foes like a great hunting cat.

[sblock=ooc]
Sorry for delays all, this time of year is absolutely crazy. I've worked 55 hours in last 4 days and was out of the office in another city last 2

Kane will intimidate the woman to get her to back off, atheltics to jump through window without getting cut, stealth to move all quiet like towards the I22 window
intimidate, stealth, athletics (1d20+10=30, 1d20+12=23, 1d20+10=30) <- sure....2 natural 20's on skill checks... [/sblock]

Seeing Kane move into position, Wil stands up from hiding at the side of the building. Fiends! he calls out You will menace this village no longer! He fires the arrow he has drawn and another quickly loaded directly into the lizard man holding the staff. He moves confidently forward and takes a deep breath. He draws an arrow across his bow and shouts We have slayed dragons, worms such as you are little effort. Though the words have little meaning on the lizards, primal spirits roused from his bow assault one of the large lizards, tangling its legs.

[sblock=OOC] Okay we start the fight first in initiative.

[/sblock][sblock=Next Steps]
Wil took his action. Everyone else take a normal round from here. I updated the map with Wil's location after the move, but the status block contains the condition at the start of the round.
[/sblock]

Hearing Wil on the other side of the house, Kruk turns to Hergunna "that's our signal heh heh." He jumps off the dock with ease and turns to the snake. "I don't know what your business is here, but I'm sure that it's not good...(kruk's facial features turn into the frenzied look that he always gives before attacking a foe)...let's dance snake ha HA!" He charges the serpent, smashing into it with such forces that he knocks the snake over. Kruk, now standing of the foe takes advantage of his position by delivering a brutal overhead chopping attack, creating a gaping wound, causing the serpent to hisss in pain.

[sblock=actions]





minor: none...everything was equiped from last round
movement: move to B18, jumping off the dock at a17

athletics check to jump of dock (5 feet) 1d20+7= 18

attack: bullcharge leith: 1d20+10+1(charge) vs AC = 28 for 1d10+5=15 plus another attack 1d20+10 vs Fort to knock the serpent prone 20 and pushes the snake one square east, with kruk occupying the serpent's last space.

Kruk gains CA against the serpent and the foe has -2 attacks against kruk

Kruk marks the snake

AP attack:
Bedeviling Assault: 1d20+10+2=25 for 2d10+5 = 22 plus from now until the end of the encounter Kruk gets a free basic melee attack once per round every time one of his comrades hits the serpent with a melee attack.
[/sblock]

As Kruk engages the naga, Carolina steps to the corner of the roof and throws her dagger at its flank.

[sblock=Actions]Move to -A16
Standard: Sly Flourish vs. Lieth; 1d20+12+2 hits AC 19 for 24 damage, including sneak attack damage from First Strike class feature (Roll Lookup)
[/sblock]

[sblock=Kane's actions]
Thoughts on Kane's actions? I can hurl his weapon as a ranged attack (Hurl Weapon) =, he can try to jump down, but now that I think about things, it is an acrobatics not athletics check to jump down right? If Kane was to do a running jump out the window, which rolls would it be? Athletics to jump, Acrobatics to land? Basically I was thinking he runs, he jumps and tries to land at H25. Perhaps a jump down to the wagon, then a jump to there? [/sblock]

[sblock=Kane]On that side of the building, it's not very high, maybe 8 feet. So, since you'd only take damage for a 10 foot fall, I'd say just use athletics to jump out if that's what you want to do.
[/sblock]

Kane takes a moment to see outside, then with a wide, predatory grin on his face, the bugbear takes a few steps back and rushes out the window. It falls to pieces as the great barbarian leaps in the air, seeming to hang upon some wind that bears him aloft. Kane lands next to the lizard and reptileman in a crouch.

"KANE IS GOOD GUY!" he shouts, hoping the frightened woman hears him, as his axes whirl and slash, a wall of steel that he wields. Kane slashes once at the reptileman and scores a minor wound, but the angle of the cut makes it difficult to stop bleeding.

His bloodlust is far from satiated though and he continues hacking and slashing. This time the lizard bears the brunt of his aggression, a deep wound that just serves to further Kane's unquenchable thirst for battle. Another swing of his mighty axe and this time it embeds itself into the lizard's neck, severing an artery and leaving the mount quite dead.

This action continues to fuel Kane's adrenaline and he steps around the reptileman and slams his older axe into the enemy. A wide-tusked grin spreads even further across his face.

[sblock=ooc]
Move: Step back 1 square to get a running jump - athletics (1d20+10=23) therefore he jumps 4.3 squares, land in H25
Standard: Rage of the Crimson Hurricane - vs ac(Scaleshaper, lizard); dmg (1d20+11=25, 1d20+11=14, 1d12+6=7) hits Scaleshaper, misses lizard and does minimum damage, 7 + ongoing 5 (save ends)
AP: Whirling Frenzy - vs ac(Scaleshaper, lizard); dmg (1d20+11=16, 1d20+11=31, 1d12+1d12+6=16) + crit dmg (2d12=16)
Free: Apply Furious Assault to Lizard hit = 12 more.
Total damage to lizard = 58 + both enemies take 4 more (from rage)
Free: Rampage (triggered by crit) - MBA (vs lizard) (1d20+11=26, 1d12+8=9) hits for 9
Free: Shift to G24 and deal 12 dmg (1d12+3=12) damage to scaleshaper (Whirling Lunge)

This round Scaleshaper takes 27 + 5 ongoing & lizard takes 71 & dies
