(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom II [IC]

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 47/47, AC 26, Assassin's Stance

Warren curses as the hobgoblin grunts out something that sounds like a warning. He abandons part of his plan, and dashes around his hiding spot, heading for the ogre, but skids to a stop after a few dozen paces.

He gestures rapidly with his short sword and swirls it around, gathering heat within, and then stabs in the direction of the ogre, sending a bolt of red flames at the giant. Just before this, he shifts his footing and his focus, concentrating on the ogre's head, hoping to strike there with the fiery bolt.

"Die!" the halfling snarls.

[sblock=ooc]Changing stances to Assassin's Stance, moving 30 feet (10 feet up and 20 left), and initiating Fanning the Flames. With Assassin's Stance his total Sneak Attack damage is 4d6, plus the maneuver's 6d6, +3 for Desert Wind discipline focus.

19 ranged touch to hit the flat-footed ogre, for 39 fire damage
1d20+11=19, 10d6+3=39 [/sblock]

I guess we'd better go save him again, Larian says with a smirk, winking at Avril. Hardly moving at all, however, Larian reaches into his component pouch and produces a pinch of sulfur. With a word and a gesture, he sends a pebble of pure flame racing across the grass. When it gets within range of the hobgoblins it explodes in a broiling mass of fire.

[sblock=ooc] Cast fireball, it should be able to get the two hobgoblins at the top of the map and the ogre without hitting the tree or Warren. 10d6 damage, and a DC 19 reflex save. [/sblock]

With a few muttered words of annoyance, Tyrla set to work, intent on visiting some measure of vengeance against the forces that they faced. The swirling cloak of shadows around her belled out like great dark wings and she began to sweep into the air- as she did so, another gesture drew forth a bolt of arcane power and it lanced forward towards one of the hobgoblins.

OOC: Using Fell Flight- move 10 feet up and 10 forward; then invoke an Eldritch Spear against the hobgoblin closest to the tree (+10 ranged touch, 5d6 damage)

Damn! Avril started to move at the sound of the hobgoblin's voice, as she quietly barked a command for Mandla to follow her. Together they approached the battle, the powerful dog anxious to prove itself to its mistress. She stopped suddenly at the edge of the battle, halting the dog beside her. "Be strong and brave," she whispered as she poured the righteous anger of the spirits into her animal companion.

[renau1g]

Pender will follow the others, drawing his enchanted adamantine greatsword as he moves. The fighter will wait until the flames have dissipated to enter the area. Pender stands defiantly in front of the halfling, interposing his larger frame between the threats and the smaller warrior.

OOC- Move through Warren (15 ft. N & 15 ft. W)

New Arrivals...

Tyrla blasts one of the hobgoblins for 17 points of damage.

Avril and mandla move in closer, Avril enhancing Mandla's strength with a spell.

Siobhan draws uses her longbow from range against the hobgoblin Avril hit. The arrow deals an additional 12 points of damage, dropping the hobgoblin. Siobhan's second missile misses.

Warren closes the gap between himself and the enemy and asserts his ability to be both small and incredibly deadly in a blaze of flame and blood that kills the Ogre.

Larian evokes his signature spell and blows a swath of additional destruction over the battlefield, felling two more hobgoblins in short order.

Pender moves up the hill.

The two remaining hobgoblins run behind the nearby structure for cover fearing for their lives.

Suddenly, you hear a feral growl coming from the south side of the road. Sinister black shapes rush out of the shadows to attack - two great wolflike creatures with baleful red eyes.

Tyrla, in addition, sees the following:

[sblock]
Four fierce blackscaled dragon-men charge forwards from the forest (their positions marked by the slightly off-colored terrain on the map) with their scimitars in hand.

dragon-men

[/sblock]

wolf-like creatures

The creatures image shifts, constantly seeming to change their place and making them even more difficult to track with the naked eyes (Tyrla is not inhibited in this regard). The first of the massive creatures bounds through the difficult terrain on the south edge of the map and goes for Larian while the second targets Tyrla. The first monster's attack against Larian scores a critical hit for 22 points of damage. The second monsters attack against Tyrla hits and deals 11 points of damage (before DR).

Feel free to roll up any knowledge checks you wish to make as a free action, I'll give the results along with my next combat post.

 

[Arkhandus]

Warren turns about at the sound, cursing. "Get back, you two!" he calls out, running towards them.

Warren gestures and shifts the position of his blade, stabbing at the nearest lupine beast. A shadowy duplicate of his blade appears and stabs at the same time, while Warren's gesture produces a swirling burst of flames around the blade.

[sblock=ooc]Moving 30 feet to reach the nearest monster attacking the casters. Initiating Burning Blade and Shadow Blade Technique. Rolled 21 and 23 to hit, for 8 damage plus 7 fire damage, and 5 cold damage if the shadow blade hits. But I'm taking the 23 as the real blade, so the shadow blade misses. 8 piercing and 7 fire damage then on a 23 to hit. Invisible Castle REALLY hates me this week or something.

1d20+13=21, 1d20+13=23, 1d4+6=8, 1d6=5, 1d6+6=7 [/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

Pender will point his massive blade at the closest creature, which is threatening Tyrla, and shout "Come face a true warrior, coward!". He charges at the beast and swings his massive blade wildly.

[sblock=OOC]
Charge closest monster, using full Power Attack (-5 to hit, +5 damage):
Charge Attack; Damage (Power Attck of 5) (1d20+12=19, 2d6+14=19) *Should be +19 damage, forgot Power attack with a two-handed weapon, but it probably doesn't matter.

"Did I, or did I not, say that this looked like a trap?," Tyrla muttered to no one in particular. Then she raised her voice louder "There are more of them- four invisible dragonspawn, south of the road and closing!" Having no wish to stay in close combat, she rose spiraling into the air, out of easy reach.

OOC: I guess I should have been more specific- the 10 feet forward and 10 feet up meant 10 feet of altitude, not 2 squares 'north'. I'll take the hit, assuming the wolfies can jump or have reach. This round, Tyrla will do a full round Withdraw, using flight- straight up (double move for 60 feet, halved for gaining altitude= +30 feet, or 40 feet total altitude).

Tyrla's DR is 2/cold iron, if it applies- let me know.
