[LPF] Roaming Dead

"Kia Kakari Taniwha!" booms Maui at his cheetah companion who springs forward dodging between Arianna and the skeleton who slashes at the swift animal's flank as it bounds by. The cheetah snaps back at its attacker ripping a leg off tumbling it to the ground in a heap. Maui follows in after him howling his praise at his companion's skill and bravery. His recklessness draws an attack from another nearby skeleton. Unphased he lays into the undead creature with his scimitar.

[sblock=Actions] Swift Action: Handle Animal: Attack 2 to attack undead creatures
Taniwha: Move to AA8 provoking an OAtk from Skeleton @AB9 then Standard: Bite at that same Skeleton
Special Combat Manuever: Trip (I'm guessing that is a success, this is my first time with Trip or using a Combat Manuevre in general. Someone please correct me if I've done it wrong) ... doh, forgot Bless (hit anyways)

Maui: Move to AA6 drawing OAtk from skeleton @AB6
Standard attack vs same Skeleton.[/sblock]

As Eanos' Arrow flies into the skeleton crushing it's skull, Taniwha rushes at one of the skeletons, drawing an attack from the skeleton, taking moderate damage. Unfortunately Taniwha's claws pass harmlessly through the skeleton. However the great cat is able to successfully knock the skeleton's legs out from under it. Meanwhile Maui likewise rushes a skeleton and also draws an attack from said Skeleton, and also takes moderate damage. Maui however is able to fell the skeleton.

[sblock=ooc]Two little points:
a) Arianna's claw missed wildly, not Taniwha's.
b) Taniwha's bite does bludgeoning damage bypassing DR, so the skeleton he hit is at least injured, if not worse. Claws are bludgeoning/slashing and bites do all three damage types bludgeoning/slashing/piercing. Bestiary page 302. That is why Arianna dropped her spear in favor of using her claws.[/sblock]

Fulgrim continues to press his attack in the tomb unabated as he makes another vicious swing of his great axe at the skeleton still near him.

[sblock=OOC]Okay, honestly, and I thought tripping with a 5 inch blade was uncannily counter intuitive... this takes the cake. My apologies for confusing Taniwha and Arianna's individual attack methods. But really? Bite Qualifies as Piercing, Slashing AND Bludgeoning? How does that work in a real world example except maybe in the case of a Crocodile or Alligator who have several tons of pure force behind their jaws?? Sorry, not that I can really change the rules. But yes, in the case that Taniwha's attack does Bludgeoning Damage it does in fact not just trip the undead, it kills it as well.

I will add in a final update for this round as soon as I get a chance.[/sblock]

Davian Smilebeard (Halfling Rogue)

Davian tries to keep a low profile as he comes out from behind the wall where the mechanism was to take aim at the nearest skeleton. He tries to find the best position that will keep him hidden whilst also giving him a clear shot that has the least chance of hitting a teammate.


OOC: Alright for some reason it rolled three times, sorry bout that Also, I didn't know how to simulate a d3 so I just put a -1 mod on the damage roll and rolled a d4

[sblock=Off Topic]Sorry it took me so long to get a post up, but I had to get accustomed to my new Laptop. I am hoping that I am able to post this more frequently now that I think I am getting used to having this laptop.[/sblock]

between everyone's efforts you are able to bring the undead numbers down to a measly 5 skeletons left standing. However these undead seem more determined than ever to bring the rest of you to your knee's. One of them attacks Maui, Two of them attack Fulgrim, and two others attack the Celestial Dog. Fortunately because one of the Skeletons had to move into Range of Fulgrim in order to attack him, Fulgrim is able to counter attack that Skeleton. The two skeletons attacking Fulgrim both miss him with wild abandon. Likewise the Skeleton attacking Maui also misses him. However the Celestial Dog suffers two blows, one of which is absolutely devastating.

Arianna (Mermaid Synthesist 1/Cleric of Tanager 1)

Releasing her holy symbol so it falls back to her chest on its chain, Arianna swings her massive claw at the next skeleton in reach, shattering it and stepping on its bones as she moves forward to attack the next. The second skeleton dodges her other claw.
[sblock=actions]free release holy symbol to let it fall back to the end of the necklace, Claw at AB10, drop it, only one swing was needed, 5' forward to AB10 and use other claw against AC11.[/sblock][sblock="ongoing +1 attack buff"]Bless +1 to attack and fear saves, 8 more rounds[/sblock][sblock=mini-stats]Arianna Mermaid ~ Perception +3, Sense Motive +2, Stealth +1, Low Light Vision
