Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[Scotley]

Rogash

Hesitating only for an instant, Rogash charges the mass of kobolds with his axe swinging.

OOC: Most! Ouch!

 

[jkason]

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

The group sees a volley of crossbow bolts fly past the dwarf and bounce off the wall in a display of sparks.

Four do not, as they hit their mark, and the blood begins to pour from the dwarf's chest.

"Not good," the large man gulps, though he's bolstered by realizing he's seeing bolts and not arrows. "Crossbows take longer to reload, at least," he says. He follows Tanith in her run to the corner, trying to use the corner for partial cover to launch an arrow of his own at their foes as he gets a look at them.

 

[DrZombie]

Jonas looks at the close-packed kobolds and the arm-movements of Tanith. He waits for the firework, drops his shield and charges into the kobolds, swinging his sword with two hands.

"FOR HEIRONEOUS"

(OOC : wow, kobolds. i'll be able to use my cleave-feat at last.)

 

[industrygothica]

Here's the initiative. Since Tanith came in last, I didn't include the fireball or anything related to it in the actions, in case you wanted to change it.

19 Dyspeer 28/29: awaits command
18 Friadoc 24/32: delays
17 Rogash Ungart 39/39: charges (natural 1=miss)
15 Jonas Cleighton 40/44: charges
15 kobolds
10 Shaimon Hu'u 36/36 barkskin:
10 Rokelsh 31/37:
8 Tanith Dathius 23/23:

[sblock=a question]Now, refresh me, please: Surely there is a limit on the number of creatures one man can take down with great cleave. All Jonas has to do is hit one of these creatures to kill it (his longsword is 1d8+3), so he could technically take down the whole lot of them in one round if he was allowed to plow right through them.

Conversely, since he's charging, the charge would stop at the moment of impact on the group of kobolds, and he could really only take out those within reach, which would be a maximum of 8 if he was totally surrounded if I'm not mistaken.

I can't believe I've never had anyone use this feat before.[/sblock]

 

[Mista Collins]

[sblock=IG]She will switch to her light crossbow then.

And there is no limit to the number of enemies you can attack with great cleave. The only limit to it would be those within range and he has to hit with each attack still. So if he misses just one attack, the cleave stops. [/sblock]

Here's the initiative. Since Tanith came in last, I didn't include the fireball or anything related to it in the actions, in case you wanted to change it.

I think Shai will stick with his plan assuming there's space for it: head to the corner and try to lob some arrows into the pack of kobolds (assuming there's no risk of hitting his companions, of course).

 

[Jemal]

Rokelsh unleashes a trio of arrows from his bow, each into a different kobold.

(Rapid shot, +9/+9/+4, damage 1d8+4.)

[sblock=ooc:RE:Great cleave]
Great cleave allows him to make as many cleave attempts as he can until either there are no more enemies in range, he misses, or he doesn't deal enough damage to drop an opponent. Great cleave does not allow you to just keep walking through your opponents, cleave specifically states that you CANNOT move between cleaves (even a 5 foot step).

[Scotley]

Rogash

The dwarf attacks the nearest Kobold.

 

[Friadoc]

Friadoc will launch into a nanchaku attack on the nearest kobold.

OOC

Nanchaku +1 [1d4+2 attk +6 crit x2, 1 lb., light, bludgeoning]

 

[industrygothica]

Friadoc, Rogash, and Jonas each step into the group of kobolds. Friadoc drops one immediately while Rogash trips over a crack in the floor. Jonas quickly moves around him and launches a truly awe-inspiring attack on the little creatures, sending limbs and pieces of gore splattering against the walls in a sickening display.

As the kobolds begin a retreat, one steps forward and produces an unexpected spell; a burst of flame emits from his hands and singes the three party members.

Shai, Rokelsh, and Tanith each fire their own missile attack into the retreating group of kobolds, dropping three more before they skitter around another corner out of sight.

[sblock=details]
19 Dyspeer 28/29: awaits command
18 Friadoc 24/32: Nanchaku (9+6=hit, kill)
17 Rogash Ungart 39/39: charges (natural 1=automiss)
15 Jonas Cleighton 40/44: charges and attacks (16+8+2=hit, kill; 12+8+2=hit, kill; 18+8+2=hit, kill; 7+8+2=hit, kill; 19+8+2=hit, kill; 18+8+2, kill)
15 kobolds (20 13): 1 casts burning hands (Jonas, Friadoc, and Rogash take 4 damage each after passing a reflex save); the others begin to retreat
10 Shaimon Hu'u 36/36 barkskin: fires an arrow into the melee (12+7-4=hit, kill)
10 Rokelsh 31/37: fires three arrows (natural 1=automiss; 13+9-4=hit, kill; 19=hit, kill)
8 Tanith Dathius 23/23: light crossbow (10+5-4=miss)

[sblock=Jemal]Would you believe that I originally rolled three 1's in a row for all three of Rokelsh's attacks? I just couldn't do that to you, so I decided to switch dice and give you another shot at the last two. Nobody has that horrible of luck [/sblock][/sblock]
