Emerald's PbP game

[Manzanita]

Reinert

"Jarrad, forget your bow, I'd say. Someone's got to close with him & try to keep him from casting spells. That someone is you."

"If there's an obvious path, I'll climb a tree."

 

[Emerald]

You all set off down the path in the direction Erantur directed Richard. You travel for a couple of hours and find a good ambush spot, a curve in the road that leads to a straight away with lots of large trees and underbrush to the sides.

The Set Up:

Reinert: You climb a tree ready to shoot arrows during the surprise round.

Jarrad: Are you planning on shooting during the surprise round or moving into melee during the surprise round?

Kaltide: You are readying an action to cast animate rope during the surprise round.

Cattivo: You ready an action to cast daze on Richard during the surprise round.

Cid: What are you wanting to ready?

As soon as I get Cid and Jarreds actions I will run the surprise round as Richard rounds the bend up ahead 30 feet from the ambush point.

 

[Manzanita]

Reinert

Reinert will try to find a tree further along the path than the others so that he will encounter Richard first. He will wait until Richard passes beneath him before opening fire.

"Listen guys, please let me be the first to attack Richard. I do better if I can catch him by surprise. Once you see my arrows flying, the rest of you go get him!"

 

[Capellan]

OOC query: in the unlikely event that Richard succumbs to the Daze spell, that prohibits him taking an action. Does that mean, if he hasn't acted yet, that he still counts as flat-footed?

IC: Cattivo makes sure that his position in the ambush will put Jarrad between him and Richard.

 

[Creamsteak]

Cid, in his new much heavier equipment, will stand at the aid of Jarrad. He will be ready to cast heat metal if Richard is wearing anything that makes such a spell opportune. If there is no such opportunity, he will be ready with hold back and wait for his abilities to be of better use.

 

[Emerald]

(OODM)Krug, If I don't hear from you today changing your action, I will run the surprise round with your first action being:

"Oh goody," says Jarrad. "I'd like to get a shot off with my bow, and then use my sword, but I won't charge in.. any narrow area one can use?"

Cattivo
Jarrad
Cid

Surprise Round:

Reinert: You fire off two arrows hitting him in the back for a total of 16 pts of damage.

Kaltide: You throw a rope at him and cast animate rope. The rope wraps around him and a nearby tree branch.

Cattivo: You cast Daze on Richard. You do not see any apparent effect.

Jarrad: You fire off your bow and hit him for 3 pts of damage.

Cid: Since Richard is not wearing any armor your hold action.

 

[MerakSpielman]

"Oh, we got him now!" Hefting his spear, Kaltide adds, "Just like hittin' a fish in a net!" and hurls it at Richard.

 

[Capellan]

Cattivo sticks with the plan, and hits Richard with another Daze spell.


OOC: Will Save DC 14

 

[Creamsteak]

Cid will draw his mace, and step up so that he is 40 feet away and has a line of sight on him.
