Jasper Round 1

Lute in one hand Jasper draws is blade as he approaches the wolf trying to eat Celest. With a practice grace he stabs the blade through the animals shoulder. Pulling the red streaked metal free he steps into an on-guard postion blade held at the ready.

Attack vs wolf that bit Celest: Attack, 18 Damage, 6

I have no problem with you rolling saves, spot checks, or anything else DW. I think my new way of doing things when I DM is if ever I find myself about to ask someone to give me a roll it would probably be better to do it myself. Players will still get to roll their attack/damage as I won't know if they are going to attack, cast a spell or something else. And those rolls seem to be enough to keep player's happy. [/sblock]

Shavallah Round 1

[sblock=OOC]
I roll crappy for myself, you can't do worse than me. Anyways, could you tell me what squares the wolves actively attacking the party are in? My next post will assume the wolf attacking Celest is in range and line of sight for clear shots and that the party did not move more than 30' from one another. If that's wrong, let me know so I can correct my post.[/sblock]

Seeing the wolves lunge forward, Shavallah's attention snapped towards the wolf that struck the woman. As she had assumed... the flower was the first to be trampled by the beasts... Snapping her manticore's tail forward, she snarled menacingly as she readied her spear, attempting to draw the wolves attention, or frighten them off as she attacked.

[sblock=Actions]
Shavallah will allot 3 essentia to her manticore's belt as a free(or swift was it?) action.
Move: Draw Spear
Standard: Attack nearest wolf attacking Celest with two spines, then at the other wolf with a third.
Order of rolls- Attack at first target wolf, damage , 2nd attack at 1st wolf, damage, 1st attack on second wolf, damage
1d20+6=21, 1d6+2=5, 1d20+6=16, 1d6+2=3, 1d20+6=11, 1d6+2=6
Subtract 1 from each attack and each damage roll if they are NOT within 30' of Shavallah. Sorry if that was confusing.[/sblock]

Celest, HP 14/16, AC 14/T10/F14, Saves: F3/R0/W8
Active Spells: Bless

Celest is dragged to the ground by the wolf. She tries to swing at the wolf that is on her and as if by divine grace connects. But it is not a solid hit.

OOC: Strength check (1d20=3)
Attack includes +1 for bless and -4 for prone.
Attack (1d20-2=18)
Critical confirm (1d20-2=3)
Damage (1d8=2)

Wolves, end of Round 1, Begin Round 2

Jasper's sword bites well into the wolf.

Shavallah's flying spines both stab into the nearer wolf attacking Celest, dropping it to the ground.

Celest strikes as she falls, and though she connects in a vital spot, her strength and balance are off, doing little damage to the second wolf biting at her.

Then two more wolves dart out of the trees, one going after Twi'Tar and the other attacking Jasper! Twi'Tar dodges out of the way, but Jasper is bitten and the wolf tries to pull him down! The young man jerks away, breaking the wolf's grip and avoiding kissing dirt.

Platinus then chops clean through the wolf attacking him.

Tom's eyes glow and the wolf remaining near Celest seems to grow darker, as though a cloud hovers around it. Then he strikes at the wolf snapping at him, hitting with a strong blow. The wolf snaps back, but Tom pushes its jaws away with the flat of his blade.

Celest's feral foe works through the malign cloud, biting at the woman as she lies on the ground. Due to her position, she's unable to guard herself well and it connects, though its jaws seem weakened.

[sblock=Combat Info, OOC]
Initiatives:
Wolf 1 22
Tom 21
Wolves 4, 5 18
Wolf 6 11
Jasper 10
Twi’Tar 9
Celest 9
Wolf 2 7
Shavallah 5
Wolf 3 5
Platinus 1

Jasper takes 5 damage and gets a 7 to resist Trip.

Platinus can assign his healing now.

Shavallah can't set 3 points of essentia into the Manticore Belt, as the max by level is 1, +1 for being bound to the Totem. However, the third point can go into another soulmeld. And it's a swift action.
I just used the first attacks against the nearer wolf attacking Celest, which combined with Jasper's attack to drop the wolf.

Wolf 6 failed the will save against Tom's curse. Wolf 5 attacked Tom, but missed. Wolf 6 attacked Celest and hit her, doing 1 damage (since there is a minimum damage on natural weapons). But she doesn't need to bother with another STR/DEX check, since she's already prone.

Jasper, Twi'Tar and Celest are up.

Oh, my bad, I got confused when double-checking the capacity, since it'd been so long since I actually looked at it before. The other point will be in my Totem Avatar soulmeld. Should I make a mini-statblock for you, or do you already have the relevant info statted out?[/sblock]

[sblock=Jasper]
You could 5' step to J8, then Shavallah can shift and flank with Jasper on W2.[/sblock]

Celest, HP 13/16, AC 14/T10/F14, Saves: F3/R0/W8
Active Spells: Bless

Celest continue to swing her mace at the wolf on her. Unfortunately her prone position makes it difficult to hit the wolf. She hits but does minimal damage.

OOC:
Attack includes +1 for bless and -4 for prone.
Attack (1d20-2=13)
Damage (1d8=1)

[sblock=OCC]
Tailspinner remeber the wolf is cursed so it takes a -2 penalty on AC, attack, and about everything else.

I'm fine with what ever you say, your the DM.

OOC - Platinus will heal Jasper for 2 in round 1.

Jasper Round 2

Seeing a second wolf attacking Celest, Jasper waste no time moving into postion to defend his new found... inspiration. He moves as if at a dance, a step, turn, step... and nearly trips over the girl on the ground. His sword hits the dirty closer to her than the wolf attacking her.

[sblock=actions]
5'step/trip?? to J9
Attack vs. wolf 5(I think the one attacking Celest) nat 1 [/sblock]

[sblock=Theroc]
Sorry buddy would have moved to help but Jasper only has eyes for Celest and game wise that wolf goes before you do so it might have moved. [/sblock]

 

[jager0727]

Twi'Tar rushes behind the wolf threatening Shavalla (K8) draws his short sword and nearly drops it attempting to rush his attack before the animal can turn.
[sblock]
I rolled the damage and everything at once so kindly disregard as I'm sure an 8 attack roll misses wolves *L*attack roll (lt.melee with weapon finesse feat) damage and sneak attack for flanked wolf (1d20+4=8, 1d6+1=5, 1d6=5) [/sblock]
