Brinestump Marsh: Outside Walthus' House Combat - Surprise Round Wrapup

The halfling suddenly attacks Elsbeth changing into a a wrinkled, hunch-backed humanoid creature with mottled brown-and-red flesh and a spherical head with no true face—only a crooked slit from which a rasplike tongue periodically lashes and licks.

Sachiko, for all her faults, did not have slow reactions. Indeed, the creature had barely revealed itself before there was a whisper of steel on leather scabbard and Sachiko had her sword out and at the ready!
She dipped her head down lower and stooped slightly; an odd stance for fighting, and said, "Oh, well that explains everything!" Sachiko will be ready to attack next round.

Jariah was taken aback by the Warden’s transformation and was nearly caught off guard. The mental exchange between her and her eidolon was near instantaneous ans she warned the magical cat.
She stepped aside and invoked a cantrip to send acid flaying into the fray. The little globule hit the transformed Warden. The creature screeches with pain as the globule strikes his left arm.
“Eewwyuck! Don’t let it lick you!”

Unknown to everyone except Elsbeth, she stabilizes and no longer is in danger of dying.

At the command of his master Nairo holds position.

Fastus was halfway into the house, belly on the window's loggy edge, when the screaming started. He definitively recognized Elli's voice!
"What the-?" He will be able to act in the next round.

Seeing how quickly the creature fells Elsbeth, Wireth orders Nairo to stay back, instead charging in himself. While the force of his swing is impressive, that's only apparent in the massive chunk of ground he manages to chunk up when he misses the creature. What follows are a string of orcish curses. The ground is a bit more frightened then before.

With Wireth stepping in front of his line of approach, the eidolon could not follow his mistress’s command to charge into the fray. After a brief mental exchange, the magical feline maneuvered around to stand over the unconscious Elsbeth protectively.
He snarled at the warden, “Doncha lick me, I’m gonna bite ya.” He is ready to attack.

Watching the swamp, Suldrel is caught completely by surprise by the attack of the "Warden". He will be able to act in the next round.

Brinestump Marsh: Outside Walthus' House Combat - Round 1

Initiative:
25 Creature
21 Sachiko (DEX 18)
21 Jariah (DEX 16)
20 Elsbeth
17 Nairo
15 Fastus
11 Wireth
9 Jakira
5 Kaodi

The creature lashes out with one of its two arms and hits Wireth with a slam attack for 6 points of damage and drains some blood (-1 CON). Then it takes a step back into the house. Note: Because of the CON loss Wireth max hit points are now 9 and his current hit points is 3. If you move your game piece(s) on the map post an update. I redid the tokens so let me know if you like them. I also made a distinction between small and medium characters. The pictures are from different sources. Also let me know if I messed up anything else. I am pretty sure I got Sachiko's name wrong. New map is here. Please post in initiative order. Creature has gone, Sachiko is up next.

"Fastus, help Elsbeth!" shouts Sachiko, she leaps into the fray, pursuing the creature as it backs into the house and stabbing at it with her sword! "Hyah!"

(Activating Archaeologist's Luck as a swift action for +1 to hit, damage, saves and skill checks! Move to C10.)

[roll0] to hit for [roll1] damage!

(OOC - Hmm, I can change the Ditzie map, but I can't seem to make the changes stick. I reload the page, and it's back to the way it was.)

Once you have made your changes you must hit enter. The URL will change and that is what you post here.

(OOC - Ah! Thanks! I tried hitting enter even, but I didn't notice the URL change, so it looked like nothing was happening. )

Jariah Taliaferro, Human Female

~ Brinestump Marsh ~

Jariah had little hope of reaching the creature for an unobstructed view. She flung another globule of acid on the off chance she could thread the needle. It made it past her companions and through the doorway and disappeared inside.

“Since Sachi is blocking the door, someone go around to find another way in!”

Elsbeth is unconscious. Nairo is up.

[sblock=ooc]I have less availability to post on weekends, sorry 'bout that.[/sblock]

The fiery human was looking for a window. Wireth thinks, and gives a quick whistle and jab of his thumb. Nairo gives a small hiss, then flies in an arc toward the warm human (Faustus).

[sblock=ooc]With 80' flight, Nairo ought to be able to circle around and in through the window Faustus already opened. To B12 should get him in and still let Faustus in, as well, if he's so inclined. [/sblock]

 

[Binder Fred]

“someone go around to find another way in!”

Recovering from his surprise the young blacksmith was already on the case! His efforts growing frantic, he dropped his head down and literally tumbled himself into the house -- and then right down the rustic stairs in a series of barely-controlled bumps and light crashes!

There was a whuffing of feathers above him for some reason and then he was somehow back on his feet, not really knowing how and not really caring either.

The scene spread out before his eyes: "What the burning heck-?!"

Whatever was going on, the tongue-thing with Sachi's blade in it and dodging acid blasts was clearly the bad guy! Fastus didn't stop: he charged that villain full tilt, TACKLING it with arms spread once he got close enough and SHOUTING all the while!

"AAAHHHHHH!"


[sblock=Actions]Move: to B11 (Considering the open shutter as Difficult Terrain? +5 to climb if needed)
Standard: Bull Rush 1d20+3=20, YEAH! Provokes an AoO though.

That should be enough to push it back at least 1 square to B9. We can freely move through allied squares and it's used its AoO against Fastus at this point: Let's go get it!

UPDATED MAP[/sblock]
Wireth is up next.

 

[jkason]

Wireth Norin, half-orc falconer

Wireth smiled as Faustus crashed his way into the faceless … whatever it was.

"Good man!" he calls, weaving his way through Sachi and Faustus, to swing around to the opposite side of the creature inside the house. "Now, just … stand … still!"

With that, Wireth's blade opens a nasty gash in the creature's side.

MAP

[sblock=ooc]Flanking power attack; damage (1d20+6=23, 1d8+8=10)

That's more like it! [/sblock]
