Message: <blockquote data-quote="LiquidBlue" data-source="post: 3125344" data-attributes="member: 40911">Verrick is confounded"Are you crazy! You would murder a man? In a city such as Orusus? With the watch just around the corner?"Looking at his other companions, Verrick continues, "Help me save him, we will be worse off if he dies."Verrick then again kneels to help to wounded man, desperately trying to staunch the blood now flowing from his neck. He whispers, "May Zephos guard the gate from those whose journey is not yet complete." <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=684929" target="_blank">First Aid(Again); (1d20+2=22)</a> OOC: At least the dice gods smiled upon me this time, I was really nervous that Verrick would fail and have to deal with a murder commited right in front of him, now all he has to deal with is attempted murder.Having managed to once again staunch the fallen man's wounds (I assume), Verrick says, "We were hired to discretely rescue this man (indicating towards Uggla) from harm. We were not hired to kill anyone. And right now we are doing a poor job of being discrete." Verrick hurridly pats the man down trying to find anything that would help him and his companions identify the man or his purpose. <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=684952" target="_blank">Search of the fallen man (1d20+2=19)</a> OOC: Now I am getting paranoid. Where are these rolls coming from?[sblock=OOC] If I understand correctly, in addition to the man Pinkie dropped, and Verrick has helped, there is one additional assailant who Ray dropped in the first round. How far away from the group is he? Furthermore, what weapons were the men using. Specificly we have the man who damaged Pinkie, what weapon did he use?If I recall correctly, A CDG works by scoring an automatic critical, but criticals do not multiply damage dice that are in addition to the normal weapon damage, including the extra dice from a sneak attack. Thus the last 1 rolled for the CDG does not count, and the attack only deals 5 damage. Given the will of the dice, I think this man is suppose to live.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I think it is fair to say that Verrick was flatfooted with regard to Pinkie, and could not take advantage of the AOO the CDG provokes in order to prevent Pinkie's attack (check out the cool acronyms.) I would say that Verrick is now wise to her, and will not be caught by surprise again, but what with the Heal check and the Search check, it seems that Verrick has left himself open, and at this moment does not threaten any squares.At any rate, resolving this intra-party conflict should be interesting.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> Our alignments pretty much cover the spectrum.[/sblock]</blockquote>
