Founding of a Guild (4e)

[garyh]

[sblock=OOC]Oak will be towards the front, swords drawn. Initiative 18, Perception 25:

1d20+3;1d20+7 → [15,3] = (18)
1d20+3;1d20+7 → [18,7] = (25) [/sblock]

 

[Lobo Lurker]

Desh will take position 15 feet behind the scouts so as to not penalize them with his lack of stealth training. He carries his flail at the ready.

[sblock]Initiative (+2 from Isidar) (1d20+2=6)
Perception (1d20+2=18)[/sblock]

 

[Is_907]

Elias mimics the posture of his allies–– weapon at the ready.

 

[geogator]

Blizzard stands at the back furthest from the clearing waiting to see what the impetuous youths decide for a course of action. Clearly they are ready to fight so he hefts his old carved staff and makes ready for war with a smile on his grizzled face.

(init: 11, Perception: 9)

 

[Redclaw]

Now that combat is imminent, Isdar loads his hand crossbow and moves quietly toward the clearing. True to his own advice, he focuses on watching the edge of the forest for hidden enemies.
Perception 5, Initiative 24
[sblock=ooc] Passive perception is 12, if you're using the best number wins approach. [/sblock]

 

[SarahRequiem]

I'll post something after work, but here:

perseption / initiative (1d20=11, 1d20=14)

perseption 13, initiative 14

edit: wrong character ^^; its meriadeth and not Neeloo

-------------------------------------------
Edit: Meriadeth stands not so far behind the bulky warforged with her hand crossbow ready.

"what creature are you guys talking about? is it huge? Because if it is, I'm not sure I wanna bother it... I mean, we're in a scary forest. Plenty of big nasty creatures in those. Why do you think normal people dont live in forests?" says Merry, nervously.

 

[Atanatotatos]

After entering the path in front of you, you find yourselves in a rather wide clearing. The thick vegetation surrounds a roughly round terrain with some swampy area and a few tall trees in the middle. A pool of cear water can be seen on your right coming out of the trees and undergrowth.
You all can see the drake Oak was talking about. As it sees you too, it hisses grinning its teeth at you.

[sblock=Desh]you notice the head of a gator in the water (O15) [/sblock]

[sblock=Oak]you notice the head of a gator in the water (O15). There's an enormous spider crouching on the branches of the trees in the center of the area (N10) you know this species is particularly fast and definitely poisonous. There's also a creature you've never seen before, hiding among the trees and undergrowth and the swamps, (P12) looks like a humanoid that has convered itself with leaves [/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]I tried to place you following you direction, i might have misinterpreted your intentions. If so, sorry. [/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

Isdar seizes the advantage his reactions have given him, stepping around some of the swampy terrain and firing his crossbow at the drake. He smiles in grim satisfaction as he sees it strike home in the creature's vulnerable underside.

[sblock=ooc] Move action to K8
Standard action to use Sly Flourish, with sneak attack damage thanks to First Strike, Crit! for 3d6+6, 24 hit points of damage. [/sblock]

 

[garyh]

Oak moves towards the tree in the center of the clearing, while shouting warnings to its companions.

"There's a gator in the water! Watch out for a humanoid near the tree! And this spider..."

...Oak takes two quick slashes at the arachnid...

"...is swift and venomous!"

The second slash lands home with a squishy wet sound, as the longsword drives deep into the arachnid.

[sblock=OOC]Hopefully Oak didn't speak more than a free action's worth.

Minor action - apply Hunter's Quarry to the spider
Move action - move to M10
Standard action - Twin Strike against the spider

1d20+7;1d8;1d20+7;1d8;1d8 → [7,7] = (14)
1d20+7;1d8;1d20+7;1d8;1d8 → [6] = (6)
1d20+7;1d8;1d20+7;1d8;1d8 → [20,7] = (27)
1d20+7;1d8;1d20+7;1d8;1d8 → [7] = (7)
1d20+7;1d8;1d20+7;1d8;1d8 → [6] = (6)

Twin Strike attack, Twin Strike damage, Twin Strike attack, Twin Strike damage, Hunter's Quarry damage

Note sure if the first swing hit, probably not. The second swing crits for 8 damage, and the HQ adds another 6 damage.[/sblock]

Isdar seizes the advantage his reactions have given him, stepping around some of the swampy terrain and firing his crossbow at the drake. He smiles in grim satisfaction as he sees it strike home in the creature's vulnerable underside.
The drake whines pitifully in pain at Isdar's shot and hisses angrily in his direction.

Oak moves towards the tree in the center of the clearing, while shouting warnings to its companions.
"There's a gator in the water! Watch out for a humanoid near the tree! And this spider..."
...Oak takes two quick slashes at the arachnid...
"...is swift and venomous!"
The second slash lands home with a squishy wet sound, as the longsword drives deep into the arachnid.
The big spider reacts with uncanny quickness and jumps from the tree past Oak and sprints to Meriadeth, biting her painfully, and with such strenght to knock her prone (12 dmg+knock prone, +5 ongoing poison dmg and slowed till save)

Spider (injured 14)<------narrative ends here
Meriadeth (16/28 hp, prone, slowed, ongoing dmg) <----current initiative
