A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [03]

[Scotley]

Keeland

Standing and continuing to sing with his bow held ready, Keeland attempts to draw the Gnolls further into the barn to make his friend's work easier.

 

[renau1g]

The cleric focuses his magic on the weapon of one of the gnolls, hoping to blow it up.

Use Shatter on the right hand gnoll's battleaxe. I think it gets a save, Will 17 DC I think?

if you can make a 5 foot step in a surprise round then Harnrey will move to B,7 and cast caltrops on C, 10 and D, 10

[sblock=caltrops spell]
Caltrops
School; Conjuration (Creation)
Level: Sorcerer/wizard 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Area: See text
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description
A caltrops spell covers one 5-foot-by-5- foot square with caltrops. Every time a creature moves into an area covered by caltrops or spends a round fighting while standing in such an area, it might step on one. The caltrops make one attack roll (+0 melee) against the creature. For this attack, the target’s shield and deflection bonuses do not count, nor does its armor bonus for armor worn. A target wearing shoes or other footwear gains a +2 armor bonus to Armor Class (which does count). If the caltrops succeed on the attack, the creature has stepped on one. A successful attack by a caltrop deals 1 point of damage. If the target is Small, Medium, or Large, its land speed is reduced by one-half because of the injury. This movement penalty lasts for 24 hours, until the creature is successfully treated with a DC 15 Heal check, or until it receives at least 1 point of magical healing. A charging or running creature must immediately stop if it steps on a caltrop. Any creature moving at half speed or slower can pick its way through a bed of caltrops with no trouble. The DM judges the effectiveness of caltrops against unusual opponents or opponents outside the size range given above. A giant centipede, for example, can scramble among the caltrops with no chance of hurting itself, and a fire giant wearing thick, massive boots might be immune to their attacks. For every two caster levels beyond 1st, you can affect an additional 5-foot by- 5-foot square, and the caltrops’ attack bonus increases by 1. Thus, you affect two squares at 3rd level (+1 melee), three at 5th level (+2 melee), four at 7th level (+3 melee), and a maximum of five at 9th level or higher (+4 melee maximum). Multiple caltrops spells (or mundane caltrops) occupying the same space have no additional effect.

Duration is 6 rounds

(summoning) spell, increase the duration by a number of
rounds equal to 1/2 your wizard level (minimum 1).

Houwlou Groulenas, Olcán Ranger4

For his action in the surprise round, Houwlou advanced to D8 and attacks the gnoll on the right side of the front rank with longsword and dagger.

[OOC: Pitiful, just pitiful! Looks like it's going to be a lonnnng fight, guys!]

[sblock=Mowgli]Would he be able to cast the caltrops where he stands now and still hit the bowdog's squares? if so, he will cast but not move.[/sblock]

[sblock=S Dewar]No line of effect to those squares. He can get the front line with it.[/sblock]

For his action in the surprise round, Houwlou advances to D8 and attacks the gnoll on the right side of the front rank with longsword and dagger.

[OOC: Pitiful, just pitiful! Looks like it's going to be a lonnnng fight, guys!]

[sblock=Leif]Only a move or a standard action in a surprise round . . . but as always I'll be happy to use your attack rolls for next round [/sblock]

Tsadok

Tsadok is going to hold his action until they are all through the door.

He remains hidden and quiet in his square.

 

[Scott DeWar]

the front line then for the caltrops spell.

 

[Leif]

Houwlou Groulenas, Olcán Ranger4

or[/i] a standard action in a surprise round . . . but as always I'll be happy to use your attack rolls for next round

Houwlou just holds his position and readies his attack then. No move.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Obviously no strangers to combat, the canny Gnolls hold in the doorway. The two in the front line hold their shields up defensively, providing cover for the archers in the back. Harnry's caltrops appear on the floor beneath the covering foes, and the Gnoll on the right howls as the battle axe shatters in his hand.

Harnry's up! No changes to the map. Remember that the two Gnolls on the 'wings' are actually directly behind the two in the doorway.
