[LPF] Bats in the Belfry

[udalrich]

OOC: That works for me.

 

[sunshadow21]

Is it time to post 2nd round actions yet?

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: Not yet need Xan's eidolon's action to finish the round.

 

[HolyMan]

As the larger bat flaps above the fallen aasimar oracle tiny versions of the creature start to flutter throughout the tower. A few escape through windows but some come down aggressively to assault members of the group.

[sblock=OOC] Totally missed that enlarge person is a full round action to cast. So Xan's spell did not go off round one but will this round. [/sblock]

[sblock=Map sort of]
Ok mapping location and height not something I can make so we will be doing this by distances. I am listing the marching order and the distance from the ground that character is. In relation you should know how far you are from everyone else, the floor(should you fall), and the monsters.


Marching Order:
Xan's eidolon - 15'
Ausk - 10'
Syldar - 5' < in melee with tiny bat >
Aressa - 0' < in melee with tiny bat & direbat>
Dire Bat - 0'
Maia - 0'
Izzik - 0' < in melee with tiny bat >
Xan - 0'[/sblock]

[sblock=Actions]
Round 1:
Xan - starts casting enlarge
Ausk - shoots/miss
Maia - shoots/miss
Dire Bat - attack vs Maia hit = 12 dmg
Izzik - casts acid splash/hit = 3 dmg
Syldar - bardic performance(inspire courage)
Aressa - attack/hit = 7 dmg
Xan's Eidolon - ready action; AoO kills one of the 4 tiny bats
bats(3) - attack; (was ONLY 4 somehow rolled an extra attack) - hit Aressa and Izzik; missed Syldar dmg = 1 pt each[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] Updating complete. A few things.

1) Xan's spell will go off an your character will still have his actions this round. You couldn't draw the crossbow last round as casting enlarge as it took a full round action, so you are currently unarmed.

2) Ausk if you wish to move through Syldar's square to get to the combat that would be alright. But watch out as the tiny bat in combat with her as it would get an AoO against you as you pass through the square.

3) Don't forget the +1 attack and damage bonuses for inspire courage, like I did.

[Otakkun]

OOC: Is any of the bats within the now extended reach of Xan's Eidolon? Also, is there any of the bats currently not in melee with someone? What's the distance between them & Xan & his Eidolon?

 

[sunshadow21]

Ausk will wait until he can trade places with Syldar. At that point, ignoring the small bats, he will swap his crossbow out for his flail and let loose his strongest hit on the dire bat, missing yet again as the stairs shift under his weight.

[sblock=actions] Delay until he can trade places
Move to swap weapons as he move forward 5'
Attack Dire Bat[/sblock]

Izzik leans down and begins trying to staunch Maia's wounds, and to his own amazement seems to manage to do a half decent job of it, tearing strips from his cloak to bind the ghastly bite marks as best he can.

"Can't have you dying on us my girl! You are the best kind of pretty - by which I mean not quite as pretty as me!"

Meanwhile snarling furiously as the tiny bat nips at her, Aressa focuses her ire upon it annoyed at the escape of its larger brethren! One flailing claw catches against the railing, but the other finds meat and sinew tearing through it. She then bites at the biggest remaining threat tasting blood and tearing as best she can!

 

[udalrich]

Syldar steps into Ausk's space and continues her song. "The stairs they do wobble, while with bats we squabble. But we shall win the night, against those with flight!" Out of range of the bats, she puts her spear away and shoots at one of the bats.

[sblock="Actions"]Free: continue bardic music.
Free: 5 foot step to Ausk's space (+10')
Move: Put away spear
Std: Shoot bow at whichever bat she has the best shot at. She will shoot at the dire bat if there is no difference.

If a 5 foot step does not put her out of melee, she'll use the spear to make a melee attack instead.[/sblock]

[sblock=Otakkun]

OOC: Is any of the bats within the now extended reach of Xan's Eidolon? Also, is there any of the bats currently not in melee with someone? What's the distance between them & Xan & his Eidolon?

Not at the start of the round the eidolon is 15' up the stairs so the dire bat is 15' away. Xan is on the lower floor next to the dire bat at the start of the round 2. Go ahead and go for Xan and I will then advance the round to where your eidolon can go.[/sblock]

[sblock=AFg] The direbat would go before Aressa and I had planned for it to withdraw (fly up) Do you want her to target the tiny bat attacking her instead? [/sblock]
