Initiative for combat:
Mardocan
Tamsin
*Bugbear#2*
Bugbear#1
Bugbear#3
*Grundan*
Tika
Bugbear#4

As Mardocan steps around the corner he grabs the bugbear (melee attack roll of 17 + 3 – 2(FL) = 18; a hit doing 7HP damage!) smashing it on the nose with his head (melee attack roll of 4 + 3 – 2(FL) = 5; a miss) so hard that he loses his grip and has to take a step back.

Tamsin pulls her sword from the dying bugbear (melee attack roll of 2 + 2 – 2(2W) = 2; a miss) as she (melee attack roll of 5 + 2 – 2(2W) = 5; a miss) makes a few threatening gestures at the bugbear with her dagger.

Bugbear#2 is dying.

Bugbear#1 (modified melee attack roll of 10 vs. AC15; a miss) tries to wipe the blood from his face after Mardocan’s head butt.

Bugbear#3 (modified melee attack roll of 22 vs. AC17; a hit doing 9HP damage) manages to land a solid blow on Tamsin as she looks away for a second to pull her sword free.

Grundan is unconscious.

Tika’s (melee attack roll of 11 + 3 – 1(PA) = 13; a miss) anger does not help her aim much as she swings her mace hitting nothing more than air.

Bugbear#4 (modified melee attack roll of 8 vs. 15 + 4(COV) = AC19) tries to hit Mardocan as he steps back after the head butt and sends small pieces of stone flying as he connects the wall instead.

OCC: Mardocan – seeing as you used flurry of blows I am assuming that you can not threaten squares with the chain therefore bugbear#3 is no longer considered flanked.

HP’s as follows:
Mardocan 5
Grundan 3 (sustained 9HP non-lethal damage)
Tika 20
Tamsin 2

No change to positions on the map.

Mardocan tries again to converse with the bugbears, "If you don't yield then this is going to end badly for you. We are very powerful soldiers of the southern light brigade doing a scout of these caves!" (Will try and intimidate them +0). If there is no indication that they will yield then he will try and flick his chain in bugbear #3's face. (Single attack again on bugbear #3 with spiked chain)

Tika makes a heavy handed swing again for bugbear #3 or bugbear #1 if #3 is down. (Single attack with power attack (-1))

 

[Venom]

Grundan continues lying fast asleep on the floor dreaming of lovely half orc half human ladies with big round ……… eyes.

Tamsin in the meantime having regained her flanking advantage takes another swing at Bugbear #3 with her sword and dagger.

Mardocan again tries to reason with the bugbears (intimidate check of 13 + 0 = 13 vs. 8; success!) and although there is no response bugbear#1 appears to be slightly shaken by Mardocan not displaying any signs of fear. Mardocan frowns when there is no answer (melee attack roll of 19 + 3 = 22; a hit doing 7HP damage) and flicks his chain out hitting bugbear#3 square in the face.

Tamsin (melee attack roll of 7 + 2 + 2(FL) - 2(2W)= 9; a miss) just misses the bugbear with her sword as he recoils from the hit in the face (melee attack roll of 19 + 2 + 2(FL) – 2(2W) = 21; a hit doing 9HP damage) but manages to inflict a deep cut with her dagger.

Bugbear#2 is dying.

Bugbear#1 (modified melee attack roll of 13 – 2(shaken) = 11 vs. AC15; a miss) tries to show his defiance by threatening Mardocan with his morningstar.

Bugbear#3 (modified melee attack roll of 17 vs. AC17; a hit doing 2HP non-lethal damage) loses his grip on the morningstar when the Tamsin’s dagger cuts into his arm but he punches her in the face hard enough to knock her out. Tamsin is unconscious.

Grundan is unconscious.

Regaining her grip on the mace (melee attack roll of 20!; critical check 16 + 3 – 1(PA) = 18 success; a critical hit doing 16HP damage) Tika brings it crashing down on the bugbear’s skull – there is a horrible sound of bones cracking before the bugbear falls to the ground. Bugbear#3 is dead!

Seeing his comrade go down bugbear#4 steps closer to Tika (modified melee attack roll of 11 vs. AC17; a miss) and takes a swing at her only to hit her dangling shield.

OOC: “his chain” refers to Mardocan’s spiked chain and not any part of his physique!

 

[mariusm]

Mardocan will lunge forward and try to grapple bugbear #1 while dropping his spiked chain. (Grapple bugbear #1)

Tika yells, "SUBMIT OR DIE", in common at the remaining bugbears and will step 5' south (if she can i.e if bugbear #4 has not moved) and take a swing at bugbear #4. (Single attack at bugbear #4)

Bugbear#4

Mardocan (touch attack roll of 12 + 3 = 15; success; grapple check 3 + 6 = 9 vs. 19; fail) lunges forward and grabs hold of the bugbear for only a second before the creature pushes him back.

Tamsin is unconscious.

Bugbear#2 is dying.

As the bugbear pushes Mardocan back he takes a swing at him with the backend of the morningstar (modified melee attack roll of 10 – 4 (non-lethal) = 6; a miss) hitting the wall as Mardocan stumbles back.

Bugbear#3 is dead.

Grundan is unconscious.

Tika lunges forward (melee attack roll of 9 + 3 = 12; a miss) stumbling over the two dead / dying bugbears in front of her and does not manage to make an attack.

As Tika stumbles toward him (modified melee attack roll of 19 vs. AC17; a hit doing 4HP damage) she is an easy target as bugbear#4 lands a blow with the morningstar.

Tika
Bugbear#4

As he regains his footing Mardocan (melee attack roll of 20!; critical check 6 + 3 – 2(FL) = 7; failed; a hit doing 7HP damage!) lands an almost deadly punch (melee attack roll of 17 + 3 – 2(FL) = 18; a hit doing 4HP damage) followed by a kick to head. The bugbear has a blank look on his face before he falls down unconscious.

Tamsin is unconscious.

Bugbear#2 is dying.

Bugbear#1 is unconscious.

Bugbear#3 is dead.

Grundan is unconscious.

Struggling to regain her footing Tika swings mace again (melee attack roll of 10 + 3 = 13; a miss) but the bugbear dodges the attack with ease.

With Tika slightly off balance (modified melee attack roll of 18 vs. AC17; a hit doing 9HP damage) bugbear#4 lands an easy blow with his morningstar.

With the odds turning in their favour, Mardocan (touch attack roll of 19 + 3 = 22; success; grapple check 8 + 6 = 14 vs. 18; fail) tries to get the bugbear in a chokehold but the bugbear again manages to break loose.

Tamsin is unconscious.

Bugbear#2 is dying.

Bugbear#1 is dying.

Bugbear#3 is dead.

Grundan is unconscious.

Just as Mardocan grabs the bugbear (melee attack roll of 5 + 3 = 8; a miss) Tika wants to take a swing with her mace but holds back for fear of hitting Mardocan.

Bugbear#4 (modified melee attack roll of 12 vs. AC17; a miss) regains his footing after struggling with Mardocan.

Mardocan is not going down without a fight (melee attack roll of 10 + 3 = 13; a miss) as he tries to land a kick only to smack his foot against the bugbear’s shield.

Tamsin is unconscious.

Bugbear#2 is dying.

Bugbear#1 is dying.

Bugbear#3 is dead.

Grundan is unconscious.

A frustrated Tika raises her mace above her head (melee attack roll of 3 + 3 – 1(PA) = 5; a miss) and smashes it into the wall with all her might as the bugbear steps to one side.

Bugbear#4 (modified melee attack roll of 9 vs. AC17; a miss) struggles to land any blows as he’s dodging attacks from two sides.

Spot check of 11 + 8 = 19 vs. 20 (hide); failed

Four more bugbears emerge from the shadows (surprise round)!

Bugbear#5 steps out of the shadows behind Tika (AOO attack roll of 17 + 3 = 20; a hit doing 6HP damage) and (modified touch attack of 11 vs. AC 11; success; grapple check of 12 vs. 10; success; doing 4HP non-lethal damage) grabs her but not before he takes a blow from her mace. Tika and bugbear#5 are grappling.

Bugbear#6 (modified melee attack roll of 16 vs. 17 – 1(DEX) = AC16; a hit doing 5HP damage) moves in and hits Tika knocking her unconscious.

Bugbear#7 tries to hit Mardocan with the handle of his morningstar (modified melee attack roll of 6; a miss) but fumbles the weapon as he changes his grip.

Bugbear#8 tries the same (modified melee attack roll of 22 – 4(NL) = 18 vs. AC 15; a hit doing 9HP non-lethal damage!) and succeeds in knocking Mardocan out!

The whole party is unconscious ... !!!
