Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: That's correct Bront. Baeleth is surrounded by crates. Any stack he pushed that would hit his enemies would also fall on him, though admittedly his Reflex saves are probably pretty good compared to Wizards and random animals )

 

[unleashed]

OOC: Well apparently Baeleth isn't close enough to the crates on one side, as the creatures could move around him without suffering AOOs, and since he can't move without getting jumped by all three, I thought the choice would be obvious. He'd pull down whatever crates he can reach from where he is to best effect...there really isn't a choice available as to which crates IMO.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: He can reach three stacks without AoOs by taking a 5-ft step. One of the three has the summoner)

 

[unleashed]

Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler (3/10 hp; AC 14; Reflex +2)

OOC: He'll try to pull down the stack with the summoner then...and no his reflex save sucks vs. any of the animals (+2 vs. +5 on every single base animal he's still facing).

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Oh right--no Grace yet Well the save DC isn't so high, so let's see I'm assuming a full-round action)

*Baeleth slams into the crates on which the summoner is standing and pushes hard, and they begin to fall.*

"Wh...damn!" the summoner yelps, as he falls to the ground hard and is quickly covered by crates.

*Besides the summoner, the wolf is also trapped underneath crates, but Baeleth, the rat, and the badger only take minor damage.*

*The angry animals scramble out of the crates, but it is all they can do to move up near Baeleth, not attack.*

(OOC: Summoner takes 14 Damage, then 5 Damage.
Wolf takes 6 Damage
Badger takes 2 Damage and is enraged
Rat takes 1 Damage
Baeleth takes 1 Damage, total 8

Extricating oneself from the crates is only a move action, since he isn't actually trapped. It is still difficult terrain, so each square counts double and no five-foot steps. Still, the enemies are right next to him now.)

Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler (2/10 hp; AC 14)

OOC: Of course not, we’re only first level. Otherwise he may have had a shield spell active for a bit more AC.

*Pulling himself out of the crates, Baeleth thrusts at the rat as soon as he gains his feet.*

[SBLOCK=OOC]+3 melee [1d8+1; 18-20/x2; piercing; elven thinblade][/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Baeleth skewers the rat (I assume defensively) from the high ground and sends it back to the abyss. The badger, which is enraged and has far more attacks than the rat, attacks Baeleth, but it doesn't manage to hit (thanks to the bonus from fighting defensively--thank me later ). The conjurer and wolf try to struggle free. Both fail, the conjurer failing miserably.*

(OOC: Rat takes 6 Damage. Baeleth barely manages to avoid a staggering blow)

EDIT: You are LUCKY I rolled that before you edited to include that you weren't fighting defensively By the way, I suggest moving next round so it doesn't get a full attack on you--unlike you, it has more than one

Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler (2/10 hp; AC 14)

OOC: I didn’t add anything, just edited in a backet I missed from the SBLOCK...you’ll note I’d posted his normal AC in the title. Anyway Baeleth couldn’t have been fighting defensively, as it’s a full-round action.

*Baeleth thrusts at the badger, before backing away.*

[SBLOCK=OOC]Attack +3 melee [1d8+1; 18-20/x2; piercing; elven thinblade] and move 10 feet away (20 ft. move).[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Zounds--I thought you could fight defensively as long as you attacked. I've been playing it wrong this whole time! GM error in your favour )

*Baeleth hits the badger very slightly in what was almost a spectacular hit, and manages to keep his balance as he heads down the crates. The badger, however, is not so lucky, managing to trip and fall, picking itself up but unable to both close with Baeleth and attack. The conjurer and the wolf fail to extricate themselves once again.*

(OOC: Baeleth threatens to crit but fails with a 12 to Confirm. Badger takes 4 Damage, total 5.

By the way, I will take this isolated example of IC not hating you to make the claim that IC does not, in fact, hate you

Hmm...that was going to be a natural 20 for the badger too. Stupid Balance check! You'd think a DC 10 check would be cake.)

Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler (2/10 hp; AC 14)

OOC: Sorry, you’re right, you can do it on a standard action...silly me. But since I wasn’t intending on doing it anyway, it’s still a GM error in my favour. Maybe IC only hates Trayah.

*Baeleth repeats the same strategy, as it seemed to work even better than he’d thought.*
