[occ] I will edit Round 4, Lorien will be up to 2 HP (does not get to make the listen check. Lorien can reaction in Round 5 but is shaken for one round [-2 to all Attack, Damage and Skill rolls]).
And Yes, as for Philo's spells, two CLW is fine with me...[/occ]
[ooc: assuming you are roling for the listen check...Defrel is moving torwards the warrior/priest with the intenet of battling him...]
As the Orge falls, a small smirk fills the corner of Defrel's mouth..."Now, meet your maker whore-son..." spitting on the ground Defrel scans the battle field, seeing the preist attacking Verrick he charges....
[occ] These are the ones left and who they are fighting...
the last Dire Hyena is unhurt and attacking Philo (over Lorien)
the last two Gnolls are unhurt (one attacking Philo, one attacking Refleev)
The new warrior/priest fighting Verrick is unhurt
...and then there is the Listen check that I just ask for also[/occ]
[occ]Listen checks for Defrel and Verrick spoilers
You can both here someone chanting in a strange tongue above you… whoever it is in either on the wall near the gate looking down at the party is in the trees above you… or maybe flying. Neither of you can see him, but Verrick thinks he is chanting something arcane…but not sure what (it is not any spell you have ever heard of, spell check already made)
Round 5, Initiative…
Norbac - 21
Gnolls and Dire Hyenas - 18
Verrick - 17
Bad Guy X - 14
Refleev - 10
Philo - 9
Lorien and Geenaa - 8
Defrel - 7
Ogres - 2
His hands glowing with power, Norbac touches Geenaa and most of the bleeding stops and close over. She hardly notices, focusing on the Dire Hyena and Gnolls still in her sight…
The Gnoll rider and Dire Hyena both anger by failing to hurt the Paladin last round again focus their rage (and their attacks) on him… Attack roll for the Dire Hyena is 25 -1 = 24 hit; Damage total is 16 points! Trip check for free, total for the Hyena is 12 -1 =11 vs. Philo's (STR) 14 +3 +1 =18, does not fall! The Gnoll, double attack from the Ax first, total is 23 -1 =22, hit, Damage is 12 points of damage; Spear attack is 14 -1 =13 a miss.
…the great hyena's jaws rip into the paladins side while the Gnoll riders ax glances off Philo's helm, yet the holy warriors is still standing, staggering on his feet a bit, but standing none the less.
The Gnoll next to Refleev looks around and does not like his odds. He drops his double weapon and starts running away at full speed (dropping down to all fours and moving pretty fast)… he is sprinting at full speed and disappears into the trees.
Verrick dodges back and turns invisible! (moving quietly seems to have worked against the warrior, but you are not sure about the voice that you hear)
The dark armored warriors snares a curse and turns on Norbac and Geenaa, advancing on the barbarian woman and screaming (again in Draconic; only Verrick can understand spoiler
"Damn you sorcerer, kill some of these fools before it is to late… I can not do it all, and our master will not be pleased if we fail here!
). He swings his flaming flail at Geenaa with terrible force! Attack roll total 24, damage total is 10 points, plus 1d6 flame damage =3
Refleev is about the follow the retreating Gnoll but instead turns back to the companions and charges the sole remaining Dire Hyena, flanking it with Philo… Attack roll 7 +11 +2 (charge) +2 (flank) +1 (magic) =23, hit; Damage is 2 +5 =7 points of damage
Philo slashes at the great Dire Hyena in front of him with his great sword… Attack roll 14 + 11 +2 (flank) +1 (magic) =28 a hit; Damage 5 +6 +5 =16 points of damage; Second attack roll 9 +6 +2 (flank) +1 (magic) =17 a hit; Damage is 5 +1 +5 =11 points of damage
…hitting the great beast twice, with Refleev's attacks one would have thought the creature would fall, but it simply howls in pain and rage, frothing at the mouth and hungering for blood!
Lorien is on the ground, having just woke up… he crawls away from under the Dire Hyena's feet, not feeling to go…
Geenaa turns to the armored warrior the return his blows… Attack roll 15 +12 +1 =28 a hit, Damage is 7 +6 =13 points; Second attack is 9 + 7+ 1= 18 a miss!
…catching the dark priest a glancing blow on his shield that knocks him back a step.
Defrel turns towards the priest and rushes towards him to introduce him to War Kiss… Attack roll 8 +9 +1 +2 (flanking) =20 a miss!
…but his attack glancing off the dark ones shoulder plate!
[occ]Actions for Round 6?
Conditions:
Norbac has taken 43 points of damage
Verrick has taken 14 points of damage
Refleev has taken 41 points of damage
Philo has taken 43 points of damage
Lorien has taken 48 points of damage (and is awake)
Geenaa has taken 77 points of damage
Defrel has taken 22 points of damage
the last Dire Hyena has taken 35 points of damage and attacking Philo
The Gnoll riding the Dire Hyena is unhurt
the last Gnolls ran away
The new warrior/priest fighting Geenaa has taken 13 points of damage[/occ]
Philo jerks at the pain of the blows from the Gnoll and Hyena, but knowing that Lorien is beneath him at near death, he deosn't flinch one bit. He summons all strength to strike the Hyena.
For the first attack, Philo uses Power attack, subtracting 3 from his 'to hit'. So total ToHit and DMG (including Prayer spell) is +9, and 2d6+9. If possible, he cleaves the Gnoll. For his second attack, Philo attacks (normally) the Hyena if it's alive, or the Gnoll.
