[LPF] Faith and Good Works

[Maidhc O Casain]

As Fury and Cythera's plan is made clear to Bren, he prepares to do his part. He reviews the necessary prayers in his mind as he gives Cythera a slow 10 count, then begins moving slowly down the stairs.

[sblock=Actions]When he hears Cythera's attack, move down the stairs and cast Chain of Perdition in position to attack the WrathSpawn.[/sblock]

GM: If Cythera is attacking in the surprise round, I'll need a roll. The 30 stealth is good so far. FFAC is 19 for the wrathsapwn and 18 for the humans.

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Cythera slowly gets into position where she can cover all three targets with her glaive's reach. She was slowly counting time in her head until she reached 20.

Executing her dancing maneuvers and activating the arcane energy into her blade, she flashes out to slice into the large wrathspawn. The dragon disciple is visible once more.

[Systole]

Cythera's glaive strikes true and the wrathspawn howls as black blood sprays from a broad slash on its chest. Simultaneously, Fury's dagger clangs off the armor of one of the men. "What the f...?" he says, as Cythera's glaive opens a gash on his arm.

"An attack!" the second man shouts, whirling to his feet and casting a spell which bathes him in a dark red light. The wrathspawn lumbers forward and snaps at Cythera, its wicked fangs scoring a hit. Realizing the danger he's in, the first man steps back and retrieves his shield.

[sblock=GM]Cythera hits wrathspawn for 26. Fury misses with thrown dagger. Bren starts the round hiding in the stairwell and can only move.

Initiative rolls were absolutely horrible all around. However, their initiatives were marginally less horrible than yours.

Because the men are sitting in chairs and not actually prone, I'm going to rule that standing up is a move action that does not provoke an AoO. I looked around but couldn't find a ruling on this specific situation anywhere. I hope this is fair. Retconned due to judge ruling. With prone penalty, this will hit.

Man 1: Stand up (move), step back, retrieve shield (move).
Man 2: Stand up (move), step back, cast spell (Spellcraft DC 19 to identify).
Wrathspawn: 5 ft step forward, full attack. Claw misses, claw misses, bite hits for 19. DC14 Will or Cythera is sickened.

Wrathspawn: 26 damage (moderately wounded). Natural weapons, AC 20, CMD 21-ish (need to double-check my math), raging (1 round).
Man 1: 24 damage (moderately wounded). Shield in hand. AC 21.
Man 2: Uninjured. Empty-handed. AC 18. Unknown buff. (Shield is at J12.)

Cythera: 68/87. DC 14 Will or sickened.
Fury: Uninjured.
Bren: Uninjured.

[Maidhc O Casain]

As soon as he hears the sounds of battle Bren moves down the stairs, arriving just in time to see Fury throw his knife. The words of his prayer fly from his mouth as he moves, and a glowing green chain springs to life beside the Wrathspawn. The chain immediately lunges out, wrapping itself around the creatures legs and bringing it to the ground!

• Move: to I10
• Standard: Cast Chain of Perdition, appearing in N11 (Trip Attack (1d20+13=30))

Orlando Furioso, Venzan bravo

"Son of a copper-penny whore!" says Fury under his breath cursing his missed throw. The rogue races forward drawing his rapier as he goes. He easily vaults over the end of the cots to land lightly on his feet next to the man who cast the spell. Extending his arm into a lunge the point of his rapier barely slips to an undefended spot and pierces flesh.

Cythera e'Kiernan, Bronze Dragon Disciple

Having been bitten, the Cythera feels a sudden grip of nausea threatening to take hold but she shrugs it off with no ill effects.

Still, Cythera keeps dancing and channeling arcane energy into her polearm as she moves back a step. She keeps her focus on the large aberration and slashes at it with her glaive.

"You two can surrender if you want, this might be your only chance. Otherwise we dance until your heads come off once I finish with this creature."

Unfortunately her slashes have little impact than to show she cannot hit much of anything half of the time.

Cythera e'Kiernan

Carak
[sblock=OOC]Cythera's positioning and entire plan of actions was actually based on those two foes rising from a seated position as a Move Action and provoking an AoO. So I respectfully disagree, and do not think the ruling is correct. Particularly since I think I had this ruled the other way on these boards already.

While it is not covered specifically in the Core Rules, it does state that movement within a threaten space provokes AoOs unless taking a Withdraw or 5ft step. Mechanically, rising from kneeling or sitting is treated like Prone in that regards, because it costs a full Move Action to perform.

Most Move Actions provoke, not the other way around, so to say otherwise appears to be contrary to the spirit of actions by giving them an exemption from an AoO to rise from a chair. If it was ruled a Swift Action or Immediate Action, then I would suggest otherwise perhaps. But, near as I can tell it should be a Move Action.

Reality also argues in favor of it being like prone. They need to push back from the table to be able to stand and are just as vulnerable to the weapon threatening them. The chair and table are both in the way and hindering their actions, thus requiring their attention be taken away from the glaive in their face.[/sblock]

Caster Level Check (1d20+6=19)

 

[Systole]

Bren's magical chain upends the wrathspawn, but Cythera is unable to take advantage and her strikes scrape harmlessly across the beast's armor. The first man sneers at her offer. "You've no idea who you're facing, girl. Stay there, Jake!" he tells the wrathspawn. She is able to score a hit as the creature clambers awkwardly to its feet and swipes at her, but it doesn't continue forward as it had before.

The first man casts what appears to be the same spell as the other, and moves to assist his companion, drawing his pick along the way. The second man draws his pick and attacks Fury, but the rogue dances out of the the way.

[sblock=GM]Sorry about the delay. Finding the time for a combat post update has been difficult. I rolled Cythera's AoO and it was good for 22 points of damage.

Man 1: Cast unknown spell (DC 19 to ID), move to J14.
Man 2: Draw pick, attack Fury (miss).
Wrathspawn: Stand up.

Wrathspawn: 48 damage (badly wounded). Natural weapons, AC 20, CMD 21-ish, raging (2 round).
Man 1: 24 damage (moderately wounded). Shield and pick in hand. AC 21. Unknown buff.
Man 2: 7 damage (scratched). Pick in handed (wielded as 2H). AC 18. Unknown buff. (Shield is at J12.)

Cythera: 68/87.
Fury: Uninjured.
Bren: Uninjured.

Party is up.[/sblock][sblock=Map, round 2]
