[IC] The Protectors of Greensfen (Part II)

[BlueLotus]

Moreen chases down one of the elusive bats and finally connects with her blade. The encouraging blow did not cut very deeply, but Moreen hopes that it at least got its attention to buy some time for her harried companions.

[sblock=actions]move action - move to 1 square north east of bat 2

Everyone - your turn again

After her successful attack, Moreen is set upon by two of the bats, but just manages to fend them both off with a duck here and a parry there. Rellek is hit hard yet again, and the blow proves too much for even for him. He falls to the dirt, unconscious.

[sblock=OOC Rellek]
Unfortunately, B1 hit you before your turn came up.
However, since you rolled a nat 20 for your attack,
I will let you keep that roll for your death saving throw on your next turn.
That means that on your turn you can spend a healing surge to gain hp
starting from 0 and become conscious again (but nothing else on that turn).
[/sblock]

[sblock=Results]
Moreen hits B2 for 7 damage.
Moreen gains 2 tmp hp.

B1 crits Rellek for 16 damage.
Rellek is unconscious and must make death saving throws (oh, the suspense )

B2 attacks Moreen
+10 vs AC = 18 MISS

B3 attacks Moreen
+10 vs AC = 21 JUST MISS

[sblock=Todarr]

Todarr's mighty swing elicits a grunt from the orc, who provides a sneer of his own before falling to the ground, dead.

Tromolden hunches over towards the ground, wheezing slightly. His interrogation and 'escape' from Greensfen have clearly tired him. "Well done, Todarr, well done!" He moves towards the orc and gives it a swift kick before searching the body. He finds a small pouch, looks inside, and tosses it to Todarr. "Here, consider this your first payment in the service of Baradur. Congratulations!" He flashes a brief, somewhat insincere smile, and sits down on the ground, still not fully recovered.

"I feel we have travelled far enough for now. That blasted town is far behind us, and with these scum gone," he says, gesturing at the fallen orcs, "we have a nice camp ready-made for us!" The 'camp' consists of an extinguished fire, some scraps of food, and some primitive-looking leather tools. "We dare not light the fire of course, but I'm betting these orcs cleared out most of the beasts living near by. Or so we can hope."

"I don't suppose you'd mind taking the first watch?" With this, he lies down on the ground near one of the falling orcs and shuts his eyes.

[sblock=Loot!]
The pouch contains 50 gold pieces.

[Arbanax]

The sounds of battle echoed distently in Rellek's mind. Strange sounds from far off, he wanted to sleep, he hurt. But something within him insistently and persistently refused to give up, slowly as if lifting some great weight, Rellek's eyes fluttered open.

[sblock=actions]
OK so one healing surge leaves me on 12 hp, since we are starting from 0 - that is so cool a mechanic. Imagine a surge from minus whatever.

having surged I'm lying still as ordered
[/sblock]

 

[covaithe]

Karis scoops up her dagger and attempts to conceal herself under her tree. She crouches, waiting for a bat to approach, ready to jump aside and fling her dagger at it in passing.

[sblock=actions]Move: pick up dagger, attempt stealth (I think I can do this...) 15 (I mistyped it as 1d20-10 instead of +10; that's a 15, not a -5!)
Ready action: when a bat comes on another strafing run like that to attack one of the people under this tree, attack with deft strike, moving 2 squares perpendicular to the bat's motion, if possible. The idea is to try to avoid getting hit, while hopefully retaining combat advantage. Attack roll: hits AC 20 for 12 damage. That includes CA and sneak attack; if she doesn't have those it hits AC 18 for 8 damage.

(Gotta love rolling 2,1,1 on 3d6...)

[The Digger]

"Where are the darn things?" Joshua's voice displayed both his fear and his anger at the shadowy opponents. "I know there's one in the shadows over there but just where..."

He peered into the shadows below the tree to the northeast (B2). "Ah! I know! I was keeping this for someone special but now is as good a time as any."

"Sraira Fuego!" His voice rang out as he pointed at the area west of the tree and a ball of flame suddenly appeared next to the tree, charring both the leaves and the unfortunate bat sheltering thereunder.

[nerdytenor]

Moreen is next

As Rellek rouses himself and Karis prepares to strike, Joshua's flaming sphere burns the flesh of its target bat, sending a foul odor into the air.

[sblock=Results]
Rellek rolls a 20 for death save, spends surge, gains 12 hp

Joshua hits B2 for 7 - it takes 6 more on next move.

Karis readies attack.

Moreen continues her assault, running down another bat and barely cutting it with the very tip of her blade as it arcs through the air.

[sblock=actions]
move - move to 1 square southeast of bat 3
standard action - Bolstering Strike (1d20+8=21, 1d8+4=5) on bat 3[/sblock]

 

[nerdytenor]

One bat and two adventurer's down! Everyone's turn!

Moreen's attack is more than enough to kill the ailing bat.

With Rellek on the ground, the bat to the south flies towards Joshua under the tree. As it approaches Joshua, Karis emerges from the shadows, hurling her dagger and inflicting a grave wound on the beast. The bat chirps and changes course and heads towards the source of the dagger, retaliating with teeth and claws. Karis pales and falls to the ground, unconscious.

The party continues to be knocked over like dominoes, the other bat clawing and biting at Joshua with such terrible ferocity that even his staff cannot protect him. He just registers tasting dirt before passing out.

[sblock=Results]
Moreen kills B3, gains 2 tmp hp (but they do not stack so no change)

As B1 flies north, Karis attack triggered
Karis stealth = 15 vs Bat(+8) = 14 STEALTHED
Karis hits bat one for 12 damage.

B1 attacks Karis
+8 (+2 dim light, -2 concealment) vs AC = 18 HIT
1d6+10(+6 dim light) = 11 damage
Karis is dying.

B2 moves, takes 6 damage
B2 attacks Joshua
+8 (+2 dim light, -2 concealment) vs AC = 24 HIT
1d6+10(+6 dim light) = 14 damage
Joshua is dying.

[Arbanax]

Rellek now conscious and awake her the scream of two of his friends and his anger surged again. Getting himself back up, and thankful that his combat reflexes meant his bow was still to hand, he fired off two more arrows as his quarry.

[sblock=actions]
Rellek gets up, and then uses twin strike on B1

First roll = 20
second roll = 14 (actually that should be 15 since I'm bloodied, sorry realised only afterwards)

So only one hit I fear, damage 1d8 +1d10= 9hp against B1.

[OOC = Oh dear, so its a long time since I played D&D - for those more experienced is this looking like a TPK -Todarr of course? I mean we're really getting our booty kicked, aren't we?]
