HM's AP for PbP -(closed group, playtesting)- IC

[Dragonwriter]

Arsa looks to the fighting, draws his scimitar and hops on the back of Tox. The scorpion closes on the serpent with clacking pincers.

[sblock=OOC]
My action likely won't change regardless of what the serpent does, so I'm posting it before rolling Init. First off, Delay until both Arsa and Tox go at the same time. Anyway, Arsa draws his weapon and gets on Tox (two Move actions). Tox moves 3 W, 1 N, 1 NW, ending at C5. Tox then attacks with a Pincer.

If the Cobra attacks Tox, Arsa has Mounted Combat (+3) to attempt to negate the hit.

EDIT: Okay, good Init rolls. Tox hit with the Pincer, so he gets to Grab (free grapple attempt). The CMB roll is +5 due to Grab critters getting a +4 bonus on CM checks to start/maintain grapples.

Arsa AC 21 HP 10/10
1-level Spells: Cure Light Wounds, Entangle

Tox AC 12 HP 9/9

Tox's pincer snags the cobra by the tail and everyone hears the odd screeching sound of pincer on metal as the tail slips out of the scorpions grip. Beast takes and bites hard into the thing "Oww! It's made of metal!" he declares rubbing his jaw.

"An Iron Cobra. A guardian construct, we need to gang up on it and take it out quickly." Tregin instructs the others as he swings. "I feel weak, it must still have poison in it's bite."

The cobra swings around to return the bite of Beast but the half-orc quickly moves out of the way.

[sblock=OOC] Sorry DW that was a miss (AC 20) everyone missed best to set yourselves for some flanking bonuses. Or get it pinned down and thus lowering it's AC (or both).[/sblock]

OCC: Sandwalker to finish the round.

Gyrs Tado, half-orc ranger (trapper)

Gyrs takes another swing with his greatsword, and though he connects, the blade simple glances off the tough steel of the serpent. A string of orcish expletives follows.

"Tregin, Tox, if you both shift toward the wall, I think we'll all be in a position to distract it for each other," he says.

OOC: Missed it by that much! Greatsword attack; damage (1d20+5=19, 2d6+6=15) Gyrs can't get into any kind of flank from here, and with yet another poison-dealing critter, I'm not sure risking the AoO for a combat maneuver is a good choice. Like I said, though, if each of the guys on the other side used a 5' move this round, everyone in melee gets a flanking buddy.

 

[sunshadow21]

Sandwalker steps up behind and a bit to the side of Beast (f3) and attempts to aid his fellow adventurer (Beast) by distracting it with his longspear, as he knows his chances of hitting the thing himself are slim.

 

[HolyMan]

OCC: Beast, Tox and Arsa are up. Beast has a +2 to hit so far and could also gain a flanking bonus for a +4 to hit.

 

[jackslate45]

OCC: Isn't Beast in flank with Tregin? if so, then right now he has a +9 to hit already. Well, before this at anyrate

Beast had enough. This thing was as hard enough to bite as it. With a roar of fury, he chops down as hard as he can on this snake.


OCC: Going berserk, getting a +2 to hit hit, now a +11 to hit 1d4+6.

Arsa slices through the air with his scimitar as he hisses to Gyrs, "Tox does not understand you, half-orc. The rest of your advice is sound, though."

The scorpion grabs and stabs with pincers and tail.

[sblock=OOC]
Full Attacks. If Tregin 5-ft steps, Arsa will direct Tox to follow.

Gyrs Tado, half-orc ranger

Arsa slices through the air with his scimitar as he hisses to Gyrs, "Tox does not understand you, half-orc. The rest of your advice is sound, though."

"Ah, well, with that new armor, s'hard to tell you two apart!" Gyrs covers with a smirk.

OOC: oops. Sorry 'bout the name mix-up.

 

[HolyMan]

Tregin moves up followed by Arsa and Tox effectively surrounding the metal scaled monster.

Beast takes a chunk out of the cobra but it isn't as big a bite as he thought it should have been. <DR 5/->

"Beast! There beside you! Grab that huge mallet and crush this thing, before you break a tooth." Tregin says gesturing with his sword.

Beside the raging Beast is a large brass gong, and lying beside it is a very ornate and large 'mallet'. The item looks like it could crush someone with a single blow.

[sblock=OOC] Everyone but Sandwalker is up (sorry cobra goes before him and Tregin - that speaking above was out of turn).

Mallet is - masterwork earth breaker: martial two-handed, 2d6 dmg; x3 crit; 14lbs; type B

To retrieve it you would need to use a move action to pick up an item (and would provoke an AoO).

Cobra is AC: 20 HP: 17/20 DR: 5/- [/sblock]

Gyrs Tado, half-orc trapper

Seeing how well the creature's tough metal hide absorbs damage, Gyrs puts as much force as he can behind his next swing, though the snake easily evades the attack.

OOC: With DR, figure there's no point hitting if Gyrs isn't going to do as much damage with a hit as possible, so gave Power Attack a try. Attack; Damage (Flanking, power attack) (1d20+6=16, 2d6+9=14) Miss, but with that roll it would have been a miss, anyway, so there's that.
