OOC: In the interests of facilitating the PBP format, I'm going to postthe bad guys hit point totals so you can kinda guage how far down he is. The reason for this is- in live games I run, you can kind of tell by a lot of unspoken cues about how bad the bad guy is hurting during a battle.
OOC: Monster Status: The Redcap has 114 hit points. He has so far taken 34 damage, which reduces him to 80.
Auras: Motivate Care (AC +1 ) is in effect.
(Init order reposted)
Arvin +7: 20
Redcap +9: 18 (has higher dex than Yarin)
Yarin +3: 18
Bartlin +3: 12
Seeker +0: 6
Bahuman +1: 5
Kytheria +2: 4
Alek +4: 3 (delayed action)
Arvin rushes forward again, grabbing at the redcap, but unlike last round, this time the Redcap is armed and ready with his scythe.
"**Not so fast!**" growls the redcap, and slices Arvin badly across the midsection.
Attack of opportunity! Arvin takes 15 damage.He's back down to 12...This isn't good. But I am in the RBDM club so I can't disappoint...
(Alek delays to the end of the round)
"**And how about another?!**" The Redcap rears back and
power attacks the already wounded Arvin at full force. He strikes with deadly precision, and the scythe rips into Arvin's side.
OOC: The grapple attempt was noble, but it was a deadly gamble! Arvin couldn't afford the damage from the AoO. The redcap rolled a 25 and struck. Damage was 18. Arvin goes down.. he's at -8, and has two rounds before he bleeds out! (stamps RBDM card).
Arvin hits the floor, his eyes rolled into the back of his head.
The Redcap pivots and slashes next at Bahuman. He seems crazed by bloodlust. "**
line it up, then.. I'll do the lot of you!!**"
OOC: Second iterative attack is on Bahuman. Which misses, with a total of
8.
Yarin rushes up the stairs and into the room! He hurls his dagger at the redcap, but misses. The dagger whizzes through the air and thunks into the wooden edge of the counter between Seeks-the-Darkness and the redcap. The redcap grins his bloody grin at Yarin.
OOC: You won't endanger your friends by firing into melee! (and you can always move through friendly-occupied squares so there is no need to worry about the stairs being blocked. But that's ok. There is a slight penalty for fring into melee (technically the redcap is in melee with Bahuman now). In any case, I had you attack. 
You guys may be in trouble...so you need to keep the pressure up!
Bartlin rushes forward- I think it's safe to say "someone needs healing". He grabs Arvin and yanks, and there is a sudden flood of intense white light. Arvin's eyes flicker open and he coughs up a mouthful of dragonny blood. He is laying prone, but conscious and alive.
OOC: I moved him into E4 rather than D4 so he could get to the guy who would have died within 2 rounds... Bartlin heals Arvin of 24 points. Bringing Arvin up to 16.
Seeker hops up onto the countertop. "That's much better, there's no way this guy is getting away from us.... That's it guys, you're doing great! Take him down but take him alive!" he shouts.
Arvin spits out another mouthful of blood and nods groggily. "..doing great. We're doing great..". He rolls over and looks up into Bartlin's eyes for the first time. Bartlin looks a bit concerned.
Seeks the Darkness suddenly stabs down at the redcap from above, hitting with an extremely well-placed thrust.
OOC: If Arvin were standing, the redcap would be considered flanked. But he's still laying prone. Nevertheless, Seeker gets a +1 height advanatge for being on the counter. On top of that, he rolled a critical threat! (total of 29). Unfortunately he could'nt confirm the crit (followed up with a 14). But still. The redcap takes 9 points of damage. He's down to 71.
Bahuman bellows and takes a 5' step over Arvin's prone form. He can still make his full attack.
(OOC: This is both to get the flank- and also to cover Arvins standup from prone later on, assuming (haha) Arvin doesn't want to take another AoO).
"Creature of darkness! Perish back to Titiana's Realm you go!" shouts Bahuman, as he brings his axe down again on the creature with full force.
(OOC: Bahuman lands a natural 20! Unfortunately, the crit wasn't confirmed . The axe slams down for 17 damage. The Redcap is down to 54 hp.
(OOC: Kytheria was a bit of a problem because I sorta jumped up and started this post before she posted. So I'm going to have her move up to F-5 and cast a Cure light wounds on Arvin, who still needs it. Arvin is cured another 6 hp. Arvin is up to 22.)
Alek fires another pair of glittering magic missiles that arc around impact roughly against the redcap with stinging force. This isn't going to be as easy as he hoped it might.
(OOC: The missile simpact for 9 damage.) The redcap is down to 45 hp.
OK- Arvin is BENEATH Bahuman and prone. Attached is the map.
