Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [OOC]

Knightfall said:

Akos cannot step into the candle shop. The door is blocked. And, he cannot 5-ft step through the half-open window. He would have to climb through the window. He can't do that as a 5-ft. step. (He can 5-ft step either south or southwest.)

When combat first started, I forgot to note that North it towards the left side of the map. Sorry about any confusion this caused for you guys.

Step anywhere, but within the house leaves him threatened and he cannot cast easily (and calm emotions is concentration)

He will risk opportunity attacks and move into the house.

Sooo, rogues are NOT needed even without JustinCase (Tuck) Falen and Vinccenzo have rogue levels...
Either semi-tank (secondary to Big Tim), full wizard, full divine caster...The group likes multiclass/dual builds I see

Savage bard to increase the potency of the group (urgh, maybe too similar to Litrix again?)
Any preferences?

Just a quick note; I still want to play in this game but find my time for it far more limited than before. Which means I'm not dropping out (like most of my PbP games) but it will take a bit of time to catch up and post a reply.

This is true for the Crow God game, as well.

Okay, so Climb check through the window: Akos - Climb check through window (DC 10): 1D20-5 = [19]-5 = 14 (success)

Akos takes two AoOs while climbing through the window. One from the thug and one from the female Merc. Climb says that a character loses the Dexterity bonus when climbing, but I don't really think that should apply while climbing through a wind.

RS Merc [woman] (w/bless) - AoO vs Akos (w/steel weapon): 1D20+13 = [2]+13 = 15 (miss)
1D8+3 = [7]+3 = 10

Brelish Thug (w/bless) - AoO vs Akos (w/steel weapon): 1D20+7 = [16]+7 = 23 (hit)
1D6+2 = [6]+2 = 8
Extra damage vs Akos: 1D6 = [1] = 1

That's a total of 9 damage, but 8 is negated by his DR and the 1 by his shield. Akos manages to scramble through the window and get to behind Vinny and cast Calm Emotions from there. He still needs line of sight to place it. From his vanatage point, he can see a line that extends through Zenpher and the prone Loyalist, for sure.

He can probably see Medved (barely) standing in the doorway of the warehouse. He would be able to Captain Camburn and the mercenary standing just south east of the captain. He would be able to see all the way to Teresa in the other direction.

If you have him place in on the bottom right point of the square for the closest Merc fighting against Captain Camburn, Akos can get almost all the bad guys. However, the enchanter took a 5-ft. step away to attack Falen with stiny ray, so she would be out of range, as would on the thugs on the left side of the map. Placing it on that point would ensure Akos gets Teresa.

With a spread, I know it fills all available area, so it would spill into the warehouse and catch anyone inside near Medved. I'll figure it out on the map.

No worries. Real life always comes first. Your spot in the game is always ensured. I will DM both Tuck and Cearth as needed. Just let me know what you need me to do for each character.

@Neurotic, it would look like this with the point I've noted. Let me know if you want to shift the point selected. If you move it one square to the right, then Ako will also get the thug and female Merc standing in front of the candle shop. And, he wouldn't lose anyone else already marked.

I will assume you want to shift it over and roll the saves for the NPCs accordingly.

Loyalists
Brelish Thugs [x3] (left to right) - Will saves (DC 16): 1D20+1 = [9]+1 = 10 (failed; near Big Tim)
1D20+1 = [18]+1 = 19 (saved)
1D20+1 = [18]+1 = 19 (saved)
---
Loyalist Grappler, and Soldier (prone) - Will save (DC 16): 1D20+6 = [5]+6 = 11 (failed; grappler)
1D20+6 = [17]+6 = 23 (saved)
---
Teresa Aggan - Will save (DC 16): 1D20+1 = [1]+1 = 2 (failed... epically)

Rising Sword Mercs
RS Mercs [3] (left to right) - Will saves (DC 16): 1D20+3 = [20]+3 = 23 (saved)
1D20+3 = [19]+3 = 22 (saved)
1D20+3 = [3]+3 = 6 (failed)
---
Valentin Medved - Will save (DC 16): 1D20+7 = [7]+7 = 14 (failed)
(Akos got the cleric!)

Allies
Captain Camburn - Will save (DC 16): 1D20+7 = [13]+7 = 20 (saved)
---
Emelia - Will Save (DC 16): 1D20+4 = [17]+4 = 21 (saved)
---
Zenpher - Will Save (DC 16): 1D20+4 = [8]+4 = 12 (failed)

Gets another save vs the enchanter's spell because he was targeted with a spell...
Zenpher - Will Save (DC 16): 1D20+4 = [18]+4 = 22 (saves)
(Akos spell breaks the fascination effect from Memorizing Glare, but Zenpher is now becalmed.)
