(LHHS) The Light Hearted Hack n' Slash Game (I)

OOC: Wow! Quite the round there, cs.
Getting hard to follow, with all the actions. :(
I loved some of those descriptions, and appreciate you adding them in there ('flaming' - persay, etc).

Question: I'm missing why Yorick keeps getting AoO's...?

Last round's actions: If the kobold would have run up behind Brawn as he was concentrating on the Weasels, he would have done the obvious, and 5' stepped back to R4 after his attack at the end of the round.
(I'll assume that's where he is, and that the 2 weasels left will close with him this round before he gets to attack again at the end.)


Brawn gets down with his huge self, steps into a slimjim and claw/claw/tailspikes any weasel or kobold within 5', stepping as necessary to get all 3, if he can.

Damn, sometimes I forget how fast this game gets cleaned up. We already have everyone but Darkwolf's actions.

Thanks for the complement (persay)...

Yorick keeps getting AoOs (once each round) from idiotic kobolds running at him with pointy sticks of stabbing.

And fine, you can be at R4.
 

Let me get rid of this stupid kobolds and will have a talk, smart*** altar-boy!

Mak runs behind the horse for cover (Q2, mea) and shoots the Kobold in O13 trying to protect Krindor and Khelon.

Khala, hoping that this encounter doesn't last much longer, unloads another magic missle at another dire weasel for 4 points of damage. This totals 9 points of damage to the weasel at S5.

Mak runs to Q12 (I assume you DON'T want to move to Q2 as posted, since that IS NOT where anything is happening), and fires his bow.


Natural 1! Complete and total miss!

Krindor steps back and bumps into a kobold laying down trying to adjust his aim to target Mak.

Krindor heals 4 hit points back, but still suffers that -2 to all attack rolls with the primary hand till she heals an additional hit point.

The kobolds delay thier actions so they can better coordinate with the new arrivals. However the Dire weasels have no such training and attempt to maul Brawn still.

Two Dire Weasels take 5 foot steps and melee brawn. An 18 and a 13. Hit and Miss. 5 Points of Damage to Brawn's chest... which the weasel promptly attaches itself to. It looks something like a six foot weasel trying to milk Brawn's bossum... It's vicious teeth are going to cause some nasty blood loss every round its attached.

Khelon turns around and touches Krindor to attempt to deliver a healing spell.

Khelon heals 7 hp to Krindor. The wound on the hand is gone.

Yorick tries to quickly hit and run on the kobold next to him. The lucky bastard sure wants to live though...

Yorick rolls 13 total and obviously hits the armor of the creature, which absorbs the full force of the glancing blow. Yorick then moves provoking AO. The kobold gets a 1 (not natural) and misses the Attack.

Yorick then moves to O9. He stands right next to another prone kobold.

Brawn now gets to react, and because the Kobolds are still standing back, and the weasels have him pinned down, he must focus on them. I'm going to assume both claws focus on the one dug into your chest, and the tail slap is reserved for the one on the side that has taken the 9 points of damage so far.


A 14 and a 10 with the claws. Hit and miss. 7 Points of damage to the already wounded critter. 13 points... The dire weasel in your chest is at 0 hp... and puts the DM in a strange ad-hock situation if it isn't killed before its next round... since its dug in and only gets a partial before dying...The tailslap gets an 11 and misses completely.

Kobolds actions... I'll do the spear kobolds in the upper half of the battle first, then the spear kobolds in the lower half, then I'll do all the crossbows at once. This looks really really bad...

First off, two kobolds move into Brawn's threat range, one of which gets attacked. Brawn gets a 12 and misses. Now both kobolds attempt to stab him. A 10, a 19 (natural 20, 9 to confirm).... one kobold hits for 1 point of damage to Brawns foot.

The other kobold (formerly occupied with Yorick) runs over and tries to run under the legs of the horse at Khala. The horse tries to kick it and gets an 8. Khala is the kobolds target.

The kobold gets a 17 which hits. This causes 4 points of damage to Khala's off hand.

Two kobolds in range of yorick suffer AOs and are without thier dex mod for being prone, while trying to defend themselves from Yorick. Another kobold nearby also fires at Yorick.

Yorick gets an 11 which hits. He causes 7 points of damage. The other two kobolds fire and get a 4 and 14, both of which miss.

Two kobolds catch Mak in a pincer of fire, meanwhile Krindor tries to take one down with a lucky strike from her bastard sword which just seconds ago she regained her arm-strength to use appropriately.

Krindor gets a 16, and strikes for 5 points of damage. That one goes down, probably never to recover, but the other one gets its shot off. A 12 misses Mak. Two more Kobolds laying prone fire a volley at Mak from the area just below. An 11 and a 22 (natural 20, 16 to confirm fails). Mak takes 5 points of piercing damage.

Mak has taken 8 points of damage, bringing him as well down to 0 hit points. The situation is bad.

Two kobolds are in melee with Khelon, and try to skewer the holyman.

A 13 and 14. Two misses. Khelon makes it out of that scrape.

OOC: mmm, a little misunderstanding here. I stated Mak to go to Q2 because I though he would be more useful shooting arrows at the crossbow kobolds behind the cover offered by the horse, than in open field (and what happened kinda gives me a good point), and that way he could tumble in flanking position with Brawn next round or so. But if you think that going to Q12 makes more sense it's not really a problem.
 


OOC: wow.
Battle Royale! this is fun.

Questions:
Can Brawn have moved last round to S3, please? Being flanked isn't nice. :(

Rules-wise, I have to ask this next poser: Could Brawn have done a Claw/Grapple/Tailspike when the weasel attached itself?
It seems the natural thing to do (to swipe and grab at something attached to you), but I have no clue the rules about.

As for Yorick's AoO's, I'm still baffled. (I know I must be missing something obvious...)
WHY is he getting AoO's when kobolds stick him with spears?

I'll make the adjustments for this soon enough. This is probably the only disadvantage to play by post: interpretations.

S3... I guess that seems fine. 5 foot step again, right?

Could brawn have claw/grapple/tailspiked... (BAFFLES DM).

Ok, in the first case, Yorick got an AO when a kobold moved through his threatened space in the first round after Yorick moved. He recieved yet another AO when yet another kobold (a red one) did the same thing after Yorick's next round. Just now he got an AO against a kobold for trying to fire a crossbow in melee.

Three total... I think that is accurate.
