Worg Riders 14
Avril 9
Tyrla 7
Siobhan 5
Gurguannin 4

Larian: You move behind the rock for cover. (I'm not sure if you wanted to ready an action based on your statement.)

Worg Riders: A mounted goblin rushes up to the double doors and forces them open with his mount and his arms. Another rider bolts past him, scimitar in hand. He gets into range of Larian and makes his attack, but doesn't even get close to a hit.

Avril: Scarlet has to be careful to stay out of the worg riders path, but can manage to get into position to attack. Scarlet strikes out but misses. Your flame on the other hand connects, dealing 11 points of fire damage to the rider.

Tyrla: Your eldritch blast lands with great precision and deals enough damage to kill the worg rider in the saddle. His worg is still present though.

Siobhan: Charges the Worg, dealing a solid 12 points of damage.

Gurgunnin: You find a spot right behind the Worg, catching it unprepared. Your swing connects for 20 damage finishing off the worg.

A deep boastful laugh comes from the building to the south-west. It is then followed by a deep almost feral voice that calls out from inside. "You two, get up. Intruders in the courtyard. Get out there!"

 

[Redclaw]

Larian sees the opportunity to use one of his most potent spells. More coming, my friends. You fight well, but let me add some speed to your actions! He then pulls out a licorice root and his rod of extend, and shouts Celeritas and his companions find themselves moving a bit faster.
[sblock=ooc] Move action to retrieve rod, then cast haste on however many of the party are within 30' of each other. Based on the description of action, that would be Larian, Scarlet, Gurguannin, Siobhan, and possibly Avril. If Warren comes within range Larian will target him instead of Avril.
Effects--+1 AC, +1 on attack rolls, +1 Reflex save, +30' speed, an extra attack at full BAB if using full attack action. [/sblock]

[DrZombie]

Gurguannin lets the power of his Rage consume him, but manages to steer it with the little concious thought that remains. He flies towards the opening in the roof and looks for his enemies on the courtyard, ready to charge them next round.

 

[Pinotage]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 36/36 - Spot +11 - Listen +11
Scarlet - Riding Dog - AC 27 - hp 30/30 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

Enemies were on two fronts. Thankfully the first of the worg riders had fallen to their blades and flame, although the second would be here any second now, the double doors enticing its charge into their midst. So far it was going reasonably well - nobody was injured and their surprise had taken down at least one major threat - the manticore. Feeling her muscles speed up at Larian's spell, she smiled. "Thank you, Larian," she said, "Now let's finish this off. Come, Scarlet!" she said.

Together the duo headed towards the sounds coming from the south-west building. Siobhan and Gurguannin could handle that worg and its rider, while the rest of her, including Warren would deal with those in the building. Three of them, by the sounds of it. "Warren," she called, "We need you!" Reaching the cover of a pillar near the entrance, she commanded Scarlet to attack the closest creature to the door, while she herself hurled a ball of flame at the same creature. She and Scarlet would stand their ground her and hold them off.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
OOC: Avril moves to L18 and takes cover behind the pillar. She hurls a flame from her hand at the closest enemy she can see in the chamber beyond when she gets there (Produce Flame +8 ranged touch, -4 cover from door or enemies if applicable, Damage: 1d6+5). Scarlet moves towards the closest enemy in the south-west building, and attacks it (Handle Animal +12 vs DC 10). Scarlet Bite Attack: +7. Bite Damage: 1d6+4.

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla fought back the urge to smile as the worg riders realized just how much trouble had entered the keep. Sensing that the situation to the north was well in hand, she turned to face the opening in the southern wall, ready to deal with whatever threats that ominous voice betokened...

OOC: Staying in the same place, but turn to watch the opening in the south-west building. Ready action to target anything that shows up from there. Priority list: obvious casters, missile troops, mounted troops, melee opponents. Ranged touch +8, damage 3d6+1- range is under 30 feet to the opening (and potential targets).

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 22/33, AC 23, Child of Shadows stance

Warren moves outside the dead manticore's building through the western exit, and dashes over to the southwest building, willing the shadows around him to mask his exact position as he goes. His blade is ready for more blood, and Warren seeks out his next foe. A long spine from the manticore protrudes from his left shoulder, but Warren ignores the minor injury for now. The manticore wasn't as tough as he'd worried, so he's a bit more confident about facing whatever's next.

(Changing stances to Child of Shadows for the moment, to get 20% concealment from his movement this round. Moving to square K-17, or as close as he can get this round. Dunno how much of an obstacle the manticore corpse may or may not be, or if there's anything else in the way. Speed of 20 feet, so covering up to 40 feet with a double-move.)

Warren 17
Larian 16
Worg Rider 14
Avril 9
Hobgoblins 8
Tyrla 7
Siobhan 5
Gurguannin 4
Karkillan (minotaur) 1

Warren: Warren moves into position. You find yourself looking into a room with numerous enemies. Two armed hobgoblins nearby, two getting their weapons in beds at the opposite end of the room, and a large bull standing on it's hind legs holding a heavy axe. The bull speaks for the group in a heavy feral voice. "I'm glad to see yous little halflings!"

Larian: You cast haste, hitting Larian, Scarlet, Gurguannin, Siobhan, and Avril.

Worg Rider: Charges out at Gurgunnin hitting him for 6 damage. The worg joins in on the attack, landing a hit for 10 points of damage.

Avril: Your flame lands a devastating hit on one of the hobgoblins just inside the room scorching him for 16 points of damage. This one is tough enough to survive that hit, however, and keeps coming. Scarlet moves in to strike the same one and fails to land a hit.

Hobgoblins: The two armed hobgoblins fighting side-by-side at the door make thier attacks on Warren. One lands a hit, piercing through the concealment, dealing 6 points of damage. The other two hobgoblins, now with weapons and no-armor, make thier way into the room towards the door in the north. One opens the door and the other gets outside and into the courtyard.

Tyrla: Tyrla fires into the doorway at the one that doesn't have cover compared to her position. The blast hits, dealing 13 points of damage.

Siobhan: Siobhan moves up next to Gurgunnin to attack the worg rider that just dealt hit the stalwart barbarian. The hit lands, dealing 10 damage.

Gurgunnin: Gurgunnin's counter-attack against he rider is powerful, and more than enough to crush the rider with 19 more damage. He still has a worg left in front of him.

Karkillan: Moves to the north side of the room he's in near the door.

A couple notes for the map. The orange-red bit in the middle of thier room is a fire. The O in the room is a statue of some kind. The minotaur (K) is actually 10 ft. by 10 ft.

 

[Redclaw]

Larian--Transmuter 5--HP: 25--AC:19 (tch 19, ff 15)--f+2, r+6, w+4

Seeing the barbarian and cleric taking care of the worg and its rider, Larian moves into position to assist those moving into the building. He carefully moves across the courtyard until he can see into the room, then tosses a pinch of sulfur and bat guano toward the building and shouts, Incendio.
[sblock=ooc] move to M18, then cast fireball at G:H, 14:15. That should get three hobgoblins and the minotaur, by my calculation, without hitting any of us. Damage is 5d6, Reflex DC 17 for half. [/sblock]

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 16/33, AC 23, Island of Blades stance

Warren calls to the others in the courtyard, "We could use some help over here!" He's looking more than a little wounded now.

As he speaks, Warren shifts his footing and twists the shadows around him, lashing out with his blade at the hobgoblin that Avril burnt.

(change stances to Island of Blades, so once again any foes he threatens in melee are considered flanked if any allies also threaten them in melee. Attack with the short sword at +12 for flanking with Scarlet, for 1d4+5+1d6 damage since he gets Sneak Attack while flanking.)

 

[Pinotage]

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 36/36 - Spot +11 - Listen +11
Scarlet - Riding Dog - AC 27 - hp 30/30 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

Avril had not expected this many creatures within the keep, let alone a powerful minotaur that was clearly going to spell some trouble. For now, though, it meant keeping her allies around and giving Scarlet every opportunity to show her powerful form against the hobgoblins. Calling on the spirits of nature, she spread some healing power into her ally Warren, nearly failing to touch him as Larian's spell exploded in the interior of the chamber. "I've got your back, Warren," she said. "Scarlet, attack!" she called, urging her armored companion into the fight against the hobgoblins.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
OOC: Avril casts Cure Light Wounds on Warren (healing 1d8+5). She commands Scarlet to atack the hobgoblin at J16 (Handle Animal +12 vs DC 10). Scarlet Bite Attack: +7. Bite Damage: 1d6+4. If the hobgoblin falls to Larian's fireball, Scarlet will enter the building and attack the nearest standing enemy.
