[Adventure] Dirty Money: (The Final Encounter; Rohna, Tondrek up)[Judge: THB]

[stonegod]

Tondrek followed in a clutch with the others, not really paying attention. Instead, he was working on twisting some metal bits he had picked up in the bar into some odd shape. Doggie barks once as the guard is killed, but Tondrek is still caught flat-footed.[sblock=Surprised]Init 10.

[sblock=OOC]016 would be fine for me.

"Well, maybe we should have stayed in the sewers." Tamarand grumbles

Tamarand will start in either Q18 or Q15 (whichever one is farther away from the guard)

[ryryguy]

Roswyn curses profanely. Well someone just made a big mistake... hopefully it wasn't me...

[sblock=ooc]Initiative check: Initiative (1d20+2=17)

Roswyn can go at P16 or P17 (whichever is further from the mysterious "L")

It seems like the "L" got left off the map. Also, I'm confused about where the unseen crossbowmen could be... If there's no LOS between upper and lower bridges, then if they are on the upper bridges, they can't fire down on us, can they? Well, I guess we'll find out.

Reactive stealth to hide: Reactive Stealth (1d20+4=19) (This is only valid against foes that Roswyn has concealment or cover against... which it seems would include anyone on the upper bridge.)

If hit by an attack, Roswyn will use Fade Away.[/sblock]

[ScorpiusRisk]

Shava accepts the wink graciously, and turns away feigning polite modesty and slight embarrassment. Oh the city guard. Things never change that much do they.

She turns back when he goes to greet the captain only to see him fly over the railing. Instinctively she goes for her dagger.

"I hate politics."

[sblock=ooc]Bluff 15 to hide her disinterest when the city guard winks at her. Not that its that prevent since he's dead.

Shava would have stayed near Roswyn so Q16.[/sblock]

[sblock=Rohna's scouting/ooc]
Rohna departs, fearing for an ambush, scouting ahead. Her fears are unfounded as she walks patiently, watching for anything funny. Seeing nothing suspicious, she peers into the window of the bar they were going too. She does not see the guard captain inside. She returns to report her findings.

Rohna indeed doesn't find anything suspicious. She tends to stand out, even if she is small for a goliath. Her passive perception wasn't high enough to spot the ambush either(as was the same with everybody else).[/sblock]

After throwing the dead guard over the side of the bridge, the guard captain pulls a glaive from over his shoulder, holding it in weathered hands.

The bum behind them, stands up and throws off his cloak, while drawing a longsword.

A pair of passer's by turn suddenly, one fires off a crossbow at Tondrek. It sinks into the half-orcs lower back, and the artificer can feel poison lurking in his veins. Turning, he sees his attacker, a gnome.

[sblock=ooc]Tondrek takes 7 damage and is slowed(save ends). K vs Tondrek (1d20+11=24, 1d8+4=7) [/sblock]

The second beggar disappears, but the drow senses his opponent as it approaches, and is able to dodge the strike. He is still unable to see his opponent though.

[sblock=ooc]M(invisible)attacks Tamarand. Miss. M vs Tamarand (1d20+13=16, 1d8+4=10, 1d6=2) [/sblock]

Crossbows click from above, and each bolt flies true. Brenron's shoulder is struck hard and Roswyn takes a bolt in the side. As Tamarand looks around for his adversary, he steps right in the path of a bolt, and it grazes his cheek, drawing a line of blood. Tondrek already in pain from the first crossbow bolt, isn't ready for the second as it lodges itself in his bicep. The four feel the burn of poison on the bolts, but only Roswyn is affected as it weakens her, making her muscles sluggish. All can see their four gnomes above them holding crossbows.

[sblock=ooc]brenron, roswyn, tondrek, tamarand (1d20+10=22, 1d6+4=10, 1d20+10=29, 1d6+4=10, 1d20+10=25, 1d6+4=7, 1d20+10=29, 1d6+4=7) All are hits and subject to poison secondary attack:

brenron, roswyn, tamarand, tondrek (1d20+8=17, 1d20+8=24, 1d20+8=12, 1d20+8=9) Roswyn is the only one hit: ongoing 5 poison and slowed(save ends both)[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Since you are surprised, you can't used immediate actions. You have line of sight/effect to the squares on the above bridge that is closest to your, just not the others(see previous post).[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]baddies init (1d20+7=20) Bad guys go first in regular init, I'll post their actions tomorrow. [/sblock]

 

[ryryguy]

[sblock=ooc]Well this is going great so far!

Now Roswyn will use Shield if it can block a hit, or Fade Away if hit.

(FWIW I think maybe you can still use Reactive Stealth when surprised, it's not an action per se... but it obviously wouldn't have made any difference here, as we're out in the open.)[/sblock]

 

[stonegod]

[sblock=Reactive Stealth]RS happens "when you make an init check" and has no action type, so it seems it by RAW could be used in that case. Still doesn't help w/o cover/concealment.[/sblock]

 

[EvolutionKB]

The guard captain takes his glaive and swings it low, the goliath leaps over the haft of the weapon, but the blade catches Roswyn on the shoulder and she stumbles closer. The wizard fades from view, making use of her heritage. "Strike now while we have them backpedaling!"

The miser at the end of the bridge steps closer and then charges Tamarand. The footsteps are heavy and the man clinks metallically, the man wears plate armor under his rags. Swinging his longsword, it catches the drow along the forearm, eliciting a curse from the sorcerer.

The drow is so distracted by the blow of the miser, that he flinches as his other assailant materializes in front of him. A gnome! Tamarand can barely react just as he buries his war pick in the drow's side.

The other gnome reloads his crossbow, and fires under Tondrek's arm. The bolt hit's the invoker in the forearm, and then deflects off the bone, bouncing away on the flagstones. Brenron can feel poison coursing through, making his legs feel heavy.

The gnomes above wielding crossbows reload and fire. Rohna deflects one with her shield, and another shatters against the stone, it's target the invisible Roswyn. Another bolt narrowly misses Tondrek, but the artificer twists his knee avoiding it. Doggie is not so lucky and the projectile pierces the construct's side. After firing off their weapons, the gnomes retreat away from the edge and out of line of sight.

[sblock=ooc]Fluff coming later, but here is the cruch:
L attacks Roswyn(reach), L vs Roswyn (1d20+11=26, 2d4+5=11) Hits and Roswyn is slid to Q15 and is marked, shield won't help, but Roswyn turns invisible with fade away.
W charges Tamarand: W vs Tamarand (1d20+12=25, 1d8+4=9) ending resistance for +4 won't help, so Tamarand takes 11 and is marked by W.

M fails to recharge power. recharge power (1d6=1) M becomes visible and CRITS tamarand: M vs Tamarand (1d20+11=31, 1d8+4=5) for 14: crit on tamarand (1d8+12=14)

K attack Brenron(ranged attack)K vs Brenron (1d20+11=30, 1d8+4=8) Hits for 8 poison damage and he is slowed(save ends)

X-bow men: Rohna, Roswyn, Tondrek Doggie (1d20+10=21, 1d6+4=6, 1d20+10=11, 1d6+4=7, 1d20+10=24, 1d6+4=7, 1d20+10=20, 1d6+4=6) Hits Tondrek for 7 and Doggie for 6.[/sblock]
