OOC:

I don't need to have used the shift, as the movement and attack are linked for me. But I'd love some company down here.

Bones is quick to retrieve a dagger from his boot and he leaps into action, following Artemis's direction. He hurls himself across the water to the other side of the room, and spinning dramatically, looses the dagger at the halberdier. It hits the thug in the thigh, the hilt sticking out of the man's leg painfully. Seeing no where to hide, Bones prepares to defend himself, "That was brilliant," he mutters under his breath.

[sblock=Actions]
Free: shift to F3 using battlefront shift.
Minor: draw dagger.
Move: move to J7, leaping over the water (Athletics check, 1d20 + 7 = 22, cleared 2 squares!).
Standard: sly flourish with thrown dagger at halberdier, 1d20 + 7 vs. AC = 26 for 7 damage.
[/sblock]

[sblock=Quick Stats]
Bones, level 1 human rogue
hp 29/29, surges 7/7; AC 16, Fortitude 13, Reflex 17, Will 12;
available: easy target (daily), second wind, torturous strike; 2 daggers
expended: action point; 1 dagger thrown [E8]
[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]I forgot to add the ranged penalty since the halberdier is 6 squares away after Sound's action... it's a hit anyways.

Er, disregard the above comment... It's still only 5 squares. I'm very bad with the grid coordinates, drives my players nuts in the PBeM game that I run.[/sblock]

Minor comment ... I should be be carrying 1 point of damage, not 17. Another minor comment ... for some reason my persisten harrier power is not listed on my character sheet. Need to fix that ASAP.
Regarding that ... the first arrow was just "fluff" or was it an actual attack? If its the later I need to know which archer did it due to my persistent harrier power. Once I know that I can post.

OOC:

I copied an pasted from somewhere and I somehow didn't delete the 17 damage; it should read "fine". I assumed, in the cases where you didn't say anything, that you all would spend surges to get yourselves to full HP, as you can see in the "status" section of the combat post.

The arrow attack was fluff.

Editted.

OOC:

Otakkun, you can't move there. First, there's a wall in the way. As I said (I admit wth typos) in the "terrain" section, you must move through the e1 or e2 squares if you want to enter he hall, so you don't have enough movement to reach there. Second, that spot is raised 10 feet.

Otakkun · Oct 22, 2010

OOC:

Oh ... damn. I'll redo my turn ASAP. Not to mention that my speed is actually 5. Grrr, I'm ashamed.

"Ok people, get moving!", as he speaks, Ian sprints into action, taking advantage of Stone's positioning to get a good hit on the man with the halberd.

The soldier survives your initial barrage of attacks, but badly bruised he retreats towards the main group where he joins the metallic dog, which descends the stairs with glowing red eyes. The mage barks an order, and protected by their high ground they unleash a barrage of arrows and magical energy. Ianward, ducking behind his shield, is unharmed, but Sound of Stone and Bones are grazed by an arrow and singed by magical lightning.

Bones: 12 damage, Action point used

The water is deep enough to cover you, so you’d have to swim if you fall in it.
The raised squares are 10 feet above the main floor.[/sblock]

It took me too long to post, but I¡ve been busy today and I'm not at my usual computer, which means I had to use a free image editing program instead of photoshop. That's = more work.

Ignore this move, the legal version is a couple of posts below.

OOC:

I think I should have had an OA on the halbardier when he retreated - I'll roll for it, and you can disregard if i'm wrong.

OA on Halbardier (1d20+3=9, 1d8=2)

Sound of stone tries to strike the retreating soldier, but his strikes are weak as he is distracted by the arrows coming towards him.

Sound of stone then turns towards the raised platform and, flexing his strong insectoid legs, he leaps for the open space in front of him.

OOC:

Athletics to jump onto the platform (1d20+7=15)+5 from Cranes' wings movement technique

I count as running start, so I can jump 4 squares, which takes me to B9

As he passes Epigenes, Sound of Stone plants his spear in the ground and pivots around it, launching a kick at the wizard, that fails to connect.

OOC:

Cranes Wing on Epigenes. (1d20+5, 1d10+5=[4, 5], [10, 5])
9 vs Fort

OOC:

Nope, he shifted out of reach, then moved. Edit: oops, which reminds me of Ianward's abilities. He can move to any square adjacent to F9 and make that AoO.

I won't allow that move. That'd be 4 squares if it was a long jump. The rules distinguish between long and high jumps (jumping 10 feet straight up would need a roll of 40 or more, depending on how generously you interpret the rules) and you can't just count the squares moved vertically as part of the long jump.

I'll allow you to change your actions instead of deciding you jut failed the jump check and wasted that move action.
