Warren - 17
Tyrla - 17
Avril - 12
Gurguannin - 12 (not sure about what feats you have?)
Hobgoblins - 11
Larian - 8

- - - - - -
Larian
You cast haste.

- - - - - -
Siobhan
Siobhan, I'm not sure I understand what this line means:

Siobhan takes a move action to move into square M18, and her five-foot step into square M19,

If I'm missing something correct me, but you can't take both a movement and a 5 ft. step normally. However, you ARE hasted, so you can move that full distance during your move action without a problem.

You deal 14 points of damage dropping the hobgoblin.

- - - - - -
Warren
You move into position.

- - - - - -
Tyrla
Your eldritch blast hits, dealing 9 points of damage. The hobgoblin still stands.

- - - - - -
Avril
Avril moves into position.

Scarlet's first bite hits, and drops the creature (10 damage dealt).

- - - - - -
Gurguannin
Gurguannin moves into the forested terrain targetting the next hobgoblin. His axe misses its mark.

- - - - - -
Hobgoblins
Those that remain return fire on their nearest targets.

The hobgoblin fighting Gurguannin drops his bow, draws his longsword, and fights defensively. He misses badly, then takes a 5 ft. step.

The hobgoblin Tyrla hit returns fire, and scores a hit (22 to hit). The arrow deals 8 points of damage. The hobgoblin smirks a bit at his good fortune.

The hobgoblin firing at Avril misses due to cover.

- - - - - -
Larian
Your first arrow misses its mark, but your second arrow lands on the hobgoblin. The arrow deals 9 ponts of damage, which takes the smirk off his face before he drops to the ground falling down the incline in front of him.

New Entry
Warren is first to spot the enemy coming out of the farmhouse. The first to exit is a strong looking hobgoblin wearing studded leather and weilding two glowing shortswords. He clashes his blades together and yells out to anything that can hear, "Who dares fight me!?!" Those of you in the forests and along the path only hear the loud voice of the hobgoblin Bladebearer.

He spots Warren ahead, and moves closer, swords already in hand.

As if responding to the bladebearers battlecry, One hellhound steps out of the door a second after the bladebearer. Another hellhound jumps out of the forest and onto the roads on the east. From the road, the second hellhound is clearly visible.

Finally, rather stealthily after the other combatants, a hobgoblin in banded mail weilding a heavy mace comes out. His adornments look like an acolyte or cleric of some sort. He seems less enthusiastic than the bladebearer and the hellhounds, but the look on his face subtley implies that he is eager to deliver pain.

(These now act last in initiative order).

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 33, AC 23 (t 18, ff 19), concealed

Warren narrows his eyes in irritation, dashing forward a ways through the underbrush, while trying to avoid making too much noise. Then he turns and heads over near the hobgoblin he had been meaning to attack from behind.....

Seeing Siobhan as he gets there, standing before the already-fallen hobgoblin, Warren frowns. He whispers quickly "Leaders there," while pointing his short sword behind him, before turning around to see if they're trying to follow.

(ooc: Double move, first toward the building then turning towards Siobhan and the initial ambushers.... Ending in space M-21. Hide of 1d20+16 and Move Silently of 1d20+14, but -5 to each since he moved almost full speed this round. Child of Shadow still active.

Edited to fix position and check penalty, briefly forgot the specifics of Hide penalties for speed.)

Avril - Human Druid - hp 36/36 - AC 19 - Spot +11 - Listen +11
Scarlet - Riding Dog - hp 30/30 - AC 25 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

The challenging call from somewhere to the south gave Avril momentary pause in her hunt of the creature that had just shot an arrow at her. She briefly looked around, trying to spot who the sound was coming from. "There's trouble, girl," she remarked anxiously to her companion, pleased that the dog had managed to drag one of the creatures down. "We must be quick!" She motioned at the other creature just to the north of her, and indicated with a verbal command that Scarlet should attack it.

No sooner had Scarlet sprinted to the creature, that Avril followed, her spear raised high and ready to strike. "You harm the creatures of this land, and the land with destroy you!" She stopped beside her companion, and together the two of them traded shortspear thrusts and bites with their enemy.

OOC: Avril handles Scarlet to move to E16 and attack the creature at E15 (Handle Animal +12 Vs. DC 10). Scarlet Bite Attack: +7. Damage: 1d6+4. Avril moves to D16 and attacks the creature at E15 as well. Shortspear Attack: +7. Damage: 1d6+2.

Siobhan Lilend - Cleric 5 - HP: 26 - AC: 25(tch 13, ff 23) - Spells: 5| 4 +1 | 3 | 2 +1

Siobhan moves up to L26 and wacks the hellhound with her warhammer, grinning feverishly.

Attack: 17
Damage: 1+11
Rolls

 

[Redclaw]

Seeing the cleric charge into the woods toward the loud, challenging voice, Larian shouts to his companions new and old, Don't let yourselves get isolated. We need to work together! Dwarf, Avril, finish the archers and follow us.
He then follows the cleric up the bank and into the woods. When he emerges from the undergrowth, thanks to his faster than usual steps, he throws a sprinkling of multicolored sand in the air and shouts Incursio, and a cone of multicolored lights flies from his outstretched hand to hit the hellhound and bladebearer.
Move to L24 and cast Color Spray toward M25. This should get both B and He, and avoid Siobhan. If any of the party would be in my the way, he'll move a bit to avoid hitting them. Will Save DC 16.

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla gave a sharp gasp as the arrow struck home, but the wound was not serious enough to hinder her. She uttered a quick "thanks" in elvish to the archer-mage that finished the hobgoblin she had wounded- but her accent turned even that musical tongue into a disturbingly sibilant rasp. With the warning of new foes arriving, she turned and unleashed a dark and glittering lance of arcane force at the visible hellhound before making a run for some sense of cover...

OOC: Eldritch Blast with Eldritch Spear shape invocation at the visible hellhound (V 25); range 250 feet, +7 ranged touch, 3d6 damage. Then Move towards C13...

Larian: The Bladebearer fails his save, but the Hellhound makes it (nat 20).

Bladebearer: Stunned.

Hellhound: The one near Siobhan attacks (19 to hit with flanking), but doesn't manage to land a bite. The hellhound on the other side of the field takes a run action after Tyrla.

Second Attack: 30
Damage: 6+1

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 33, AC 23 (t 18, ff 19), concealed

Warren pursues the stranger Siobhan, more confident with someone else around to fight beside, though still disappointed that his initial plan of striking down the hobgoblin archers from behind has fallen apart. Still frowning, Warren figures that the others must be handling the remaining archers, just as Siobhan took down the one over here.....

So he dashes through the brush after Siobhan, and attempts to deal a terrible blow to the hobgoblin bladebearer, who seems to be standing around in a stupor for some reason. A rich opportunity for the shady halfling.... Warren takes the opportunity to try stabbing him in a vital spot.

The halfling does some kind of flourish as he stops before the hobgoblin and hellhound, shadows still flowing around him like a cape in the wind....as a flare of red flames curls about the short sword, until it has been driven into the hobgoblin's side. "Changed my mind. Hello again!"

[sblock=ooc]Move to square M-25, attacking the hobgoblin Bladebearer with a short sword. Initiate Burning Blade (1d6+4 bonus fire damage) just before attacking. If the hob's still stunned at the moment, then Warren should get +2 to-hit and get Sneak Attack for +1d6 damage. So the attack is probably 1d20+10+2 for 1d4+5+1d6+1d6+4 damage. Child of Shadows stance still active.[/sblock]

Avril - Human Druid - hp 36/36 - AC 19 - Spot +11 - Listen +11
Scarlet - Riding Dog - hp 30/30 - AC 25 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

Avril drove her spear into the creature in front of her, urging Scarlet on as she did so. "Come on, girl," she said with an urgent growl, trying to manuever around the creature, but being hampered by the slope down towards the road. Out of the corner of her eye she caught one of the strangers dashing towards her, followed closely by a savage looking hound. A clutch of nerves lodged in her stomach, but she tried to remain focused on the task at hand. Drawing on the spirits of the forest for courage, she once again commanded Scarlet to continue the attack.

Giving Scarlet just enough room to manuever, she kept her eye on the battle below her on the road while attempting to avoid any thrusts and slams from the creature's own blade. Did she stay to help Scarlet or give the stranger some aid against the hound? Down near the ruined building she could hear the sounds of battle increasing in intensity. Spirits protect us!

OOC: Avril handles Scarlet to attack the creature at E15 (Handle Animal +12 Vs. DC 10). Scarlet gets two bite attacks with Haste. Bite Attack: +7. Damage: 1d6+4. If Scarlet manages to drop the creature, Avril will start casting Call Lightning. If Scarlet doesn't drop the creature, Avril will attack it with her shortspear. Avril gets two shortspear attacks with Haste. Shortspear Attack: +7. Damage: 1d6+2.
