[sblock=ooc]Okay, apologies, I completely misunderstood what the gate was. Since everyone but Ru and Umthrim will want to be attacking from range, anyway, I don't think it makes much sense to try opening the entryway further if it takes that much effort, not if we can force them to waste actions moving it, instead. Besides, with the ruling that Umthrim's move was to stand on the log, there's no way Ru would have the strength to move it.

He'll take a 5' step back, then, to V17. I don't believe you can ready a full attack, so I'll just roll a regular, readied attack against the first dog that comes in reach:

Readied attack; Damage (1d20+9=21, 1d6=6)

Sure, NOW I roll max damage. FYI, if the Large Gnoll gets close enough for Ru to use the readied attack (unlikely, since I imagine it has reach), it's 8 damage instead of 6, due to Ranger's Focus.[/sblock]

I also get to enjoy fighting gnolls on top a log. So we have that going for us, which is AWESOME

PM: Do I need to make acrobatic checks to remain stable while fighting on top of this thing? At least until we deal with most of these creatures.

~ Day 15, 13:43 - Miles North of Thornbury ~

The gnoll warrior from the barracks moved towards the gate, drawing a javelin and chucking it at Umthirn. The spear missed.

The large gnoll lumbered forward towards the gate and drew a large battleaxe. He was hampered by the heavy armor plates, but with his long arms he got close enough to swing the axe down at the dwarf on the log. The blade barely caught the monk and opened up a line of blood on his arm as he deflected the worst of it.

While you eliminated another gnoll, more of them poured out of the buildings in response to the call to arms. Two more gnolls appeared through the door of the barracks, armored and equipped like the others (studded leather, javelins, and battle axes).

A tougher looking gnoll warrior came around the corner behind the hulking gnoll. He was obviously better equipped with a breastplate and composite longbow in hand.

The wounded warrior from the gate came back into view and was no long so wounded.

OOC: Combat: Round 3

Tactical Map:

2. Medium or Large bodies provide difficult terrain for medium creatures or smaller. Large Bodies can provide soft cover bonuses like low wall

GM: Everyone is up for Round 3

[sblock=GM Notes]Jkason, they are actually two spiked logs at the main entrance

Well, the spiked logs is meant to be a barrier against attacking the fort. While it did not come into play yet, mechanically fighting from it will net a disadvantage. Attacker gains partial cover (+2AC), +1 for Melee attacks for being on higher ground. They also can stay in place without needing an acrobatics roll or anything.
But they also have the squeezing penalty (-4 Attacks & -4 AC) due to the trying to stand in between the sharpened stakes that make up the spikes.

[sblock=OOC QUESTION!] Is the ground solid enough at R16 (where most of the gnolls are without affecting Ru and the others?) to successfully cast Grease on it?? [/sblock]

 

[Systole]

Rhas continues to close with the fray. "Cousin! Dinnae get surrounded!" He fires again, cursing as soon as it leaves the bow.

[sblock=OOC]Move to AD18.

Attack on whatever gnoll is easiest to hit (probably 4) (1d20+10=15, 1d10+6=16)

Well, a Timely Inspiration will kill another gnoll, I think. Not sure if Damaris wants to spend it.[/sblock]

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

"Your cousin's got the right of it, Ponytail," Ru calls to his dwarven sparring companion. "Make 'em come to us. They say falling off a log is easy. I'd suggest giving it a try, but in a direction away from the big ugly."

Ru takes his own advice, taking another step back and hunkering down for the gnolls who might come through.

[sblock=ooc]5' to W17, hoping that either the big nasty will have to waste actions moving the logs, or the other gnolls will bottleneck trying to get through. Either way, as before, readying an attack. Since the previous one didn't "go off," do I need to roll it again, or can I just keep it? [/sblock]

[sblock=GM Notes]

Is the ground solid enough at R16 (where most of the gnolls are without affecting Ru and the others?) to successfully cast Grease on it??

Yes, grass and dirt can be greased.

Attack on whatever gnoll is easiest to hit (probably 4) (1d20+10=15, 1d10+6=16)

Well, a Timely Inspiration will kill another gnoll, I think. Not sure if Damaris wants to spend it.

No matter which gnoll he aims at, the target will have +4AC for cover and Timely Inspiration would be moot.

Since the previous one didn't "go off," do I need to roll it again, or can I just keep it?

Yes, roll again. I don't want to start banking readied rolls. Same for pre-rolled AoO & "use them or lose them".[/sblock]

 

[soulnova]

[sblock=Actions] I have limited access to internet this weekend.

Damaris will cast Grease avoiding Ru and Umthirn, trying to affect as many gnolls as she can behind the barricade. [/sblock]

 

[jackslate45]

"Were ya sense of fun?! You telling me ya never wanted to fight something, balancing between two logs while balancing your life or death?!"

Umthirm, however, clearly does recognize the danger all these creatures swarming them have, so he back springs off the fence to get away from the large axe wielding gnoll, keeping his guard up but forsaking his careful eye of the biggest gnoll.

[sblock=OOC]
I think what I am trying to do provokes, so Acrobatics to ignore AoO: 1d20+10=30 Well Damn...
Move Action: Back Spring to V17: Acrobatics to ignore falling damage: 1d20+10=14 Well Damn
Standard: Total defense.
Swift: Defensive Exploit Weakness again on Big Ugly: 1d20+8=12 Failed most likely

PM: Any chance I can convince you to include the CR's for the creatures in their stat blocks? I know it would make math easier when I don't have to guess if it is active or not.

Crit confirm; crit damage (1d20+9=20, 1d6=4)
