[sblock=OOC]Kushnak: attacks 1, 3+ hit, 14 damage, drops; step; attack 3, 17+ hit, 15 damage
Erdolliel: second poison save 1!, 11 CON damage

I forgot about the second save. So... Erd took 6 CON the first time, then got 4 lesser restored and the extended bear's endurance effectively gives her 4, then lost 11. So she has 13 CON damage, but is effectively down by only 9. I THINK that means that she effectively has lost 5 hitpoints per level, right? BUT can she actually lose more hitpoints than she gained at any particular level? I think that on some levels (probably levels 2, 4, 6, and 8) Erd only gained 5 hitpoints. While it doesn't matter too much yet, since she's down anyway, it might affect whether she's unconscious or dead...

Since Erdolliel is falling to the ground, Neth will run over to her and do something. But I thought we should figure this out before I continue.

Status & Initiative
Kushnak: fly
Erdolliel: fly, bear's endurance (+4 CON), 13 total CON damage, 14 damage, unconscious
Nethezar:
1: 36 damage, 7 nonlethal, unconscious and dying
2:
3: 23 damage

Party: prayer 6 rounds left, inspire courage [/sblock]
 

[sblock=oc]11 damage takes her down to a CON of 5, which does equate to a -5 hp per level or 40 hp or exactly her current hp. So, I think this means that she's staggered right now.

However, the SRD has the following to say... " If a character’s Constitution score drops, then he loses 1 hit point per Hit Die for every point by which his Constitution modifier drops. A hit point score can’t be reduced by Constitution damage or drain to less than 1 hit point per Hit Die. "

Which is what I think Di is pointing out, but I think that it doesn't come into play particularly. Since my total CON bonus is only -2 now it means I am still recieving either 1 or 2 hp per die. I did an alternate calculation of my hp and came up with that I should have 14 hp before any damage I have taken from monsters alone, so I think that I am staggered by that account too.

In case DI is confused by my character sheet. I added in my 'bonus' CON from the bear's endurance to my damage taken box (in red). I can tell you about it via chat if needed.

Anyway, I think she's staggered and (if I am correct) will have her move 5' East and then lower herself to the floor. This should avoid AoO's since she is currently 10' above #2.[/sblock]
 

Kushnak turns his attention from the drow to tend to Erdolliel.

[sblock=oc]Dodge on the one with melee weapons handy, whose still standing. if both, then 2.

Move to Erd(AC is 25 for dodged guy, 24 otherwise), cast restoration and poof she's better.
[/sblock]
 

[sblock=oc]We might be getting ahead of ourselves here, but if all goes well, Erdolliel will SA #3 by moving Up-South, Up-South, Up-East, Attack 3, Up-West. I think that comes to a movement of 30.

If we want to just finish the current round and then move on, that's cool too.[/sblock]
 

Kushnak carves into one drow, dropping it, and slashes at the other.

Feeling nearly overcome with the poisonous spores from her earlier exposure, Erdolliel quickly flees.

Seeing her plight, Nethezar stops his oration, runs to the elf's side, and mutters a quick prayer to regenerate her.

The two drow both stab at Kushnak, trying to take out the powerful half-orc. Both find that their thin swords are no match for the half-orc's armor.

Kushnak quickly joins Erdolliel and removes all the effects of the poison.

The elf, feeling revived, flies into the fray again, but completely misses her foe.

Nethezar waits to assess the situation.

One drow covers Kushnak is sticky goo, while the other burns Erdolliel once again with alchemist fire.

[sblock=OOC]Okay. I think that makes sense. Oh, and Kushnak's miss chance rolls were 87 and 58, so both his previous attacks hit.

Erdolliel: moves
Nethezar: stops inspire courage; moves; cure mod wounds on E for 18 hps
1: 41; bleeds
2: alchemist fire from last round deals 5 damage to E; attacks K with rapier, 6+ miss
3: attacks K with rapier, 17+ miss (yes... it missed with a 17!)

Next round:
Kushnak: moves
2: AoO, 9+ miss
3: AoO, 5+ miss
Kushnak: restoration
Erdolliel: spring attack 3 (totally took me a good 40 seconds to realize that SA didn't mean sneak attack) 1! miss
Nethezar: delays
1: 28, bleeds
2: draws tanglefoot bag; throws at K, 7+, miss chance 57, hit; K is entangled, but not stuck to the floor (obviously)
3: draws alchemist fire; throws at E, 8+, miss chance 99, hit, 5 damage

Status & Initiative
Kushnak: fly, entangled
Erdolliel: fly, bear's endurance (+4 CON), 0 total CON damage, 10 damage
Nethezar:
1: 38 damage, 7 nonlethal, unconscious and dying
2:
3: 23 damage

Party: prayer 5 rounds left, inspire courage 4 rounds left[/sblock]
 

"Time to play again!" Erdolliel steps down and attacks the injured drow.[sblock=oc]Step so that she's 5' east and up of #3 and attack him until he's not standing anymore. +10/+5 1d8+3 If 3 drops after 1 hit attack 2 on the second. Likewise with dodge bonus.[/sblock]

Kushnak's eyes brighten as Erdolliel's essence returns. He immediately darts to the wounded drow in an obvious attempt to destroy him.

Kushnak reenters the melee, and with a powerful swing, the half-orc drops another drow.

While the still-burning alchemist fire singes Erdolliel a bit more, the elf flies in a stabs at the sole remaining foe.

Nethezar idly hums to himself.

Despite what must seem like impossible odds, the last drow still presses the attack. It skillfully stabs through Erdolliel defenses, giving her another minor wound.
