Quagmire too is slow to react, gaping dumbly at the animated skeleton throne.

OOC: initiative 10

 

[Luinnar]

The Goblyns converge on the party. At first they do not look very threatening, but when they open their huge maws filled with razor sharp fangs, you know that they are not to be taken lightly. Three of them manage to clamp their teeth on Quagmire, Jax and Sir ExSixTen's legs with a vice-like grip.

I see my pets like you! It is nice to see that they have made new friends, they don't get out much. Radaga cackles. Never fear, they will be the last friends you shall ever see!

Kill them! she shouts, thumping her walking stick on the giant skeleton. The huge undead rips off two bones from its body and wields them like two huge scimitars. It swings them with unnatural accuracy at Jax and Sir ExSixTen, who manage to dodge just in time.

Do I have to do everything myself!? Radaga yells, firing a bolt of darkness out of her walking stick, it homes in on Sir ExSixTen and hits him squarely in the chest.

Note: Radaga and the Giant Skeleton occupies the same space (as she is "riding" it.) They get one move action but do not share any other actions (unlike regular mounts). Radaga is one square up (still can be hit with melee), and does not provoke OAs from using ranged attacks when adjacent to PCs. Also she is not large, but the skeleton is, if anyone knows of a good pic of a hag riding in a skeleton please let me know .

GM: This is going to be a tough battle, so don't be afraid to use your dailies

 

[pathfinderq1]

Brenn stood frozen for just a moment, his mind still fogged by the magics of the earlier trap- and a bit overwhelmed by the foe before them. Finally, he forced himself to action.
He quickly drew an arrow and fired at the massive skeletal figure- despite its size, his shot sent it staggering backwards as the magic of his bow wrapped the beast in a brief tangled web of energy.

[sblock= OOC]
>Dazed, so only one action- I'm going to assume his Aspect/stance is Dancing Serpent, since I think he was using that last.

>Standard: Disruptive shot at skeleton, 1d20+16 vs. AC= 31 (hit for 13 damage, and skeleton is immobilized, save ends); roll Roll Lookup

>Free: at end of turn- use Dancing Serpent to shift 1, diagonally back behind Andras

[covaithe]

Quagmire roars in startled anger, and clubs a neaby goblin with a resounding stroke. The sound invigorates his companions, who feel tougher and more alert. On the backswing he swats the goblin grabbing his leg, easily dislodging it. "Reminds me 'o watchin' the kids at th' cathouse. But they held on better! Just kick 'em under the chin, they'll let go."

[sblock=actions]Start of turn: 5 ongoing
Standard: Bastion of defense vs. ankle biter 3: hits AC 29 for 13 damage. Allies within 5 (that's everyone) gains +1 power bonus to all defenses for the encounter, and 10 temp HP.

[nerdytenor]

Dorn cloaks himself in shadow (minor - Deep Shroud - Dorn's square and all adjacent are heavily obscured) as he prepares his attack. A massive surge of energy pools in his twin daggers as he conjures an enormous ball of freezing energy. Somehow, all of his foes manage to escape the blast. (Ice Dragon's Teeth close blast 1 centered on W16 - I assume this targets Radaga as well as the other adjacent enemies as she is one square away diagonally speaking. Never mind - it missed them all.)

"By the hells!" Dorn swears.

He moves right next to one of the ankle biters and forms himself into a blur of lightning as he whips through the battlefield. (Move to U13. Action point - shift 8 squares through every enemy (except Radaga), attacking each in turn with Spark Form . Hits biter 2 for 18 lightning damage, misses biter 4, hits skele for 18 lightning damage, misses biter 3, crits biter 1. Biter 1 takes max damage 21 lightning plus 10 ongoing damage (save ends) from dagger, and is knocked prone from class feature. I'll pass on the push. Dorn ends his massive shift in U19.))

"That's better," he mutters, surveying the damage.

[Iron Sky]

Sir Exsixten opens his mouth to say something, but suddenly a panel flies open in his chest and a glowing metallic sphere in the center begins spinning. Against its will, one of the Biters is yanked over to Sir Exsixten and bounces off his shield while all the enemies nearby are drawn to the spinning object.

Sir Exsixten himself stares down at it in befuddlement, then looks up at the party and meekly closes the panel.

THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. HOW EMBARRASSING.

OOC: Sir Exsixten had 3 THP from his Restful Bedroll when the combat started so would have been at 45. Invisible Castle was giving me error messages, so I had to use the ENWorld Dice roller (which still hates me). I could hit the Biters on a 4 on so rolled 3, 3, 4, 5, 10... Was hoping that would hit Radaga since forced movement against mounted creatures forces them to make a save or fall prone off their mount (unless there's special rules for her). Quick Round Summary: Everything but Biter 1 is marked. Biter 3 is in U15 and took 13 damage. Skeleton and Biter 3 have -1 to AC(save ends). Sir Exsixten is at 81/82hp and 5 THP and has Guardian's Counter primed.

[sblock=Actions]Before Turn: Healed by Quagmire for 36hp to 81hp and 10 THP.
Start of Turn: Take 5 ongoing damage to 5 THP.
Standard: Come and Get It(Close Burst 3):
*Attack 1: 1d20+17=20 Will vs Biter 2, miss, marked.
*Attack 2: 1d20+17=20 Will vs Biter 4, miss, marked.
*Attack 3: 1d20+17=22 Will vs Biter 3, hit, pulled to U15, marked, -1 to AC(save ends).
*Attack 4: 1d20+17=21 Will vs Radaga, miss, marked.
*Attack 5: 1d20+17+2(CA)=29 Will vs Skeleton, hit, marked, no pull due to restrained, -1 to AC(save ends).
*Damage: Biter 3 takes 1d12+3+2(THP)=12 damage.

Immediate Actions(in order of priority):
Guardian's Counter(Immediate Interrupt): If an ally within 2 is hit by an that doesn't include Sir Exsixten, they shift into eachother's squares and Sir Exsixten becomes the target of the attack. He makes an MBA against the target after the attack is resolved - he won't use this if he won't get an MBA out of it.
Combat Challenge(Immediate Interrupt): If an enemy marked by Sir Exsixten makes and attack that doesn't include him, he makes an MBA against it.

Status Effects: +1 defenses, grabbed, slowed, ongoing 5 damage (escape ends all)

GM: I suppose you can knock her off (or out of to be exact) the skeleton That would get rid of her damage reduction.

As obnoxious as the goblyn gnawing on his leg is, Jax decides to focus on the one that Sir Exsixten just lured over to his shield. Jax is still moving sluggishly from the trap, but he strikes the goblyn unaware with a freezing dagger blow.

[sblock=Jax stat block / actions]Start of turn: take 5 damage from ongoing goblin. Deducted from THP.

Dazed-Standard: Riposte Strike vs Biter 3 hits AC 40 for 15 cold damage. If it attacks Jax before the start of his next turn, Jax can make an immediate interrupt attack: 17 vs AC, 1d4+11 damage on a hit and the biter takes a -3 penalty to its attack roll (with CA, that's +20 vs AC, 1d4+12+2d8+4).
Ignore the sneak attack damage I rolled. I forgot you can't flank while dazed, and that's where Jax was getting CA from. Well, unless I ready the action until after my turn ends? I don't think that works, haha.
