Greyhawk - Return of the Slavelords! Part 1

[djrdjmsqrd]

Defrel, Male Human, Thief

What in the nine-hells!

Turning to the direction of the javelin thrown from the gnoll Defrel begins to brace for an attack...

...Spinning quickly again Defrel notices a growl from the main gate just as 3 huge Ogres, wearing mail halberds with great helms and carrying two handed weapons (one is a Axe one a Sword and one a huge flail!) are about to charge out of the gate…

What the...grrr...poor tactics poor...

Defrel thinks in to himself, "Watch that gnoll, I agianst these..."

Defrel braces his spear against a charge (ooc; I assume I still have the spear since it was not mentioned that I threw it at the gnoll like I posted...) keeping a mental note of where his sword was located...


ooc; set against charge (orges), throw the spear if the orges aren't coming torwards me at one of the gnolls, draw sword and fight...

[occ]Crude...Scotley you hit in the surprise round... I will edit that, sorry about that... and djrdjmsqrd, Defrel did not get to act in the Surprise Round, so you still have your spear. Sorry about that..[/occ]

 

[Someone]

Norbac, half orc cleric in danger.

Norbac´s growls mix with the huge hiena´s -mount and rider- yips and barks. He rolls on the floor to avoid a bite that makes a mark in the dirt, then throw part of it to the gnoll´s face before trying to get up. Teeth clashes against his armor before he gets away.

[OOC: All of that means that Norbac gets up from prone and moves 15 feet from the hiena (and any other enemy, so he can at least have an AoO) spear in hand. That means an AoO from the mount, but IIRC not from the gnoll because he threw his javeling the last round and is now unarmed.]

 

[Rayex]

Geenaa the Furious - Female Barbarian

The woman feels a stabbing pain in her leg and when she looks down she sees a bloody javelin sticking from her thigh. A primal roar starts deep down in her abdomen and builds up before escaping her throat in a burst. Still roaring she launch herself at the nearest opponent.


OOC: Goes into rage. She will try to use Intimidating Rage on the gnoll that hit her, then she will attack the nearest opponent.
Attack: 1d20+12=14, doing 1d10+6=8 damage if she hit.
My rolls are off, stupid dieroller.

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

[occ]Crude...Scotley you hit in the surprise round... I will edit that, sorry about that... and djrdjmsqrd, Defrel did not get to act in the Surprise Round, so you still have your spear. Sorry about that..[/occ]

ooc: no worries, there is a heck of a lot going on. Anyway, in that case my rolls for Verrick in the first round are 17+2=19 to attack the one on Norbac for 7 damage. Second shot 6+2=8. Oh well.

Round 1, Initiative…
Norbac - 21
Gnolls and Dire Hyenas - 18
Verrick - 17
Refleev - 10
Philo - 9
Lorien and Geenaa - 8
Defrel - 7
Ogres - 2

Norbac rolls back and away from the Dire Hyena, its huge jaws snaps down at him…
AoO roll for the beast, total of a 29 a hit, damage total is 22 points!
…ripping into the half-orc's shoulder. Norbac is able to get away and stand up, reading his spear for the creature that now has a taste of his blood…

And of course the creature does come, leaping at the half-orc, its' rider screaming also, reading the strange battle axe/spears that all the riders carry…
AoO for Norbac now, 19 +10 =29 a hit. Damage (double for charge) is 6 +4 +14 =25 points.
…piecing into the creatures chest and all the way to its' heart, killing it and spraying the half-orc in blood. The ride tries to roll off and still it the half-orc…
Ride check total natural 20! Attack roll total 12, a miss
…and while it rolls off its mount perfectly it cannot connect with its weapon.

Another Gnoll rider heads towards Geenaa, rider and mount with blood on their minds…
The creature charges, the Gnoll swings its long bladed axe, attack roll total 23 +2 for the charge = 25. Damage total is 9 points. The Dire Hyena attack roll total 29 +2 for the charge =31, a hit. Damage total is 20 points of damage. The creature also get to an Trip attack, Strength test for the creature is 13 +4 =17 for Large size vs. Geenaa STR or DEX (STR +3 as she has not raged yet) 11+ 3 = 14
…the rider's slashes into the young woman's upper arm, while the Dire Hyena snaps into it left leg and knocks her off her feet, while taking a good chuck of armor and flesh with it.

The next rider and mount charges Refleev…
Attack roll total for the Gnoll is 9 a miss, for the Dire Hyena 23 a hit, damage is 18 points of damage. It gets a free Trip attack try also, with a total STR of 12 +4 for size =16, vs. Refleev's DEX (+3) for a total of 10 +3 =13, failing
…and while the nibble warrior avoids the axe of the rider, the mount bites into one of his legs and pulls him to the ground, howling and yipping with joy!

One of the archers also fires two arrows at Philo in rapid session…
Attack roll total for the first arrow, 19, a hit (as you are still flat-footed until your initiative) second arrow total 25 a hit. Damage from the first arrow is 6 points, and the second arrow does 9 points, for a total of 15
…striking both times and while the paladin's armor stops much of the damage, it is still painful.

The other archer fires two quick shots from his bow at Lorien…
Attack roll total for the first arrow 20, and the second is 21, both striking home! Damage from the arrows is 8 and 7 points of damage for a total of 15 points!
…also striking two good hits onto the ranger! These creatures are not armatures!

Verrick fires at the Gnoll attacking Norbac…
(NOTE that you don't have Precise Shot so you get -4 firing into melee combat, but still) 19 -4 =15, just Barely enough to it
…striking the creature in its arm. It does not seem to worry too much about the wound as it is still intent on the half-orc.

Refleev tries to tumble back away from the creature to stand (and not draw and AoO)…
Tumble roll 14 +5 = 19 makes it
…and he is able to get out of the reach of the snapping jaws. He stabs at it once also with his short sword…
Attack roll 15 +11 =26, a hit. Damage is 1d6 +5 = 11 points of damage
…slashing it along its flank!

Philo draws his steel and charges the Ogre with a flail…
As the Ogre has reach, this draws an AoO, Ogre's attack roll total is 14! a miss even with the charge. Philo's attack roll is 11 +13 =24 a hit. Damage is 4 +3 +5 = 12 points of damage
…he is able to duck under the creature's fast attack and slashes the creature's huge thigh. It stares down at the paladin with red-pig like eyes full of hate and rage as it roars reading to smash this little bug with it follow-up attack…

Lorien kneels down and fires three true strikes into the Dire Hyena of the archer attack him…
Damage total 36 points
…all three hit and snick deep into the creatures body, and while the creature howls in pain it does not fall, but its rider seems to have a bit of a problem controlling it as it now wants to ripe into the ranger with all of it wraith!

Geenaa howl with battle rage and swings wildly at the Dire Hyena over her…
(Prone -4 to attack rolls) First attack is a miss, you did not make your second attack so I will roll for you; Attack Roll 19 +7 -4 =22, hit! Chance for crit is 7 + 7 -4 = 19, nope. Damage is 8 +6 =14 points. Your intimidating rage against the rider works and it is now "Shaken"
...while her first swing is wild, her follow up swing hits the Hyena thing across its' head. The beast roars with rage!

Defrel sets for charge with his spear and waits for the other Ogres…

He does not have to wait long at the other two charge the group, one heading for Verrick the other Defrel, while the other tries to smash Philo…
The Ogres have reach weapons so the attacks between Defrel and the Ogre are at the same time. First verse Philo, attack roll total is natural 1! a miss! Second attack against Verrick, total is 12 +2 for the charge a miss! The last one charging Defrel attack total is 19 (only hit because of the charge!) Damage total is 22 points of damage! Defrel stab total is 16 +9 =25 a hit, Damage is double so 2d8 +4 =16 points of damage
…while the first two Ogres seem to be to excited to attack effectively, Defrel and the creature on him trade blood!

[Someone]

Norbac pulls the spear from the hyena´s body and deflects the gnoll´s weapon in the same motion. Then two arrows fly next to him and sink in the gnoll´s arm. Distracted, he allows Norbac to step back and, holding the Rune of Pursuit, raise a plea to Trithereon:

"Summoner! We fight for our lives and the freedom of others with all our strenght and soul. We worthy of your attention: Smile upon us and frown to our enemies!"

[OOC: In game terms, step back (5 foot step) to avoid AoO and cast Prayer: +1 luck bonus to attack, damage, skill checks and save rolls to allies within 40 feet and -1 luck penalty to same rolls for enemies, no save, lasts 6 rounds.]

 

[Scotley]

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

Verrick fires at the Gnoll attacking Norbac…
(NOTE that you don't have Precise Shot so you get -4 firing into melee combat, but still) 19 -4 =15, just Barely enough to it
…striking the creature in its arm. It does not seem to worry too much about the wound as it is still intent on the half-orc.

ooc: I did take the -4 into account. That's why my attack was only +2 instead of +6. In future I'll be more explicit to avoid confusion it should have been (17)+6-4=19.

He does not have to wait long at the other two charge the group, one heading for Verrick the other Defrel, while the other tries to smash Philo…
The Ogres have reach weapons so the attacks between Defrel and the Ogre are at the same time. First verse Philo, attack roll total is natural 1! a miss! Second attack against Verrick, total is 12 +2 for the charge a miss!

Verrick begins to chant in a strong voice and gesture menacingly at the Ogre before him. He moves deftly to avoid the Ogre's clumsy attacks. A ray of heat sears forth from his hand striking the Ogre in the chest and the smell of burnt meat is strong in the air.

ooc: Cast Sortching Ray on the defensive. Concentration check (12)+7=19, Armor spell failure chance: rolled 31%, Ranged touch attack (9)+6=15 vs. touch AC and presuming that hits 4d6 damage=16 Finally, a quick rules question--does point blank shot apply to ray spells? You can crit with any spell that requires a roll to hit, so in rules terms it is treated like a weapon. If the answer is yes, then add one to attack and damage. Thanks.
