Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien is not surprised very often with her vision. Taking a javelin in her armor before she could even bring her bow to bear was not a very comforting experience and she resolved to try and not let that happen again. She took a step back to get a better angle on the one one the roof.

"You boyos are really in over your heads."

In a blink of an eye, arrows are appearing in her bow and it thrums from the quick shooting. She send 3 arrows up at the man on the roof and her last one at the lone highway man down the street. All of her arrows found their mark, but she could not tell how effective the three were at the man up above.

The man on the rooftop laughs at Eanos. "We're doing our own work, guv! When whoever it is gets finished killing the Crew and the Syndicate, the Black Blades'll be able to -- OOF!" His proclamation is punctuated by an arrow that rips a nasty gash above his ear, missing his eye by inches. Bloodied, he glares down at Tyrien. "You want it messy then? We can accommodate." He fires a trio of arrows back, but all of them go wide.

However, the distraction is enough for the northernmost bandit to charge into the fray, and his longspear scores a blow against the warrior maiden. The other two mercenaries draw their weapons and close with Eanos. A morningstar slams into his stomach.

Combat Map

[sblock=Combat Information]Boss still has partial cover. He's going to have partial cover unless you move probably 20-30 feet out from where you are.

H2 saves vs. Heinrich's scream (barely). Boss misses with full attack on Tyrien. H1 draws longspear and hits with charge attack on Tyrien for 15. Note that his longspear threatens 10'. H2 and H3 move while drawing weapons and attack Eanos. H2 misses, H3 hits for 18.

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

"Crowding ain't nice," Eanos says, grunting in pain as the morningstar hits home. He stumbles back a step to give himself room, then lets loose another volley of arrows. Two of them find homes, ripping open highwayman guts as the third arrow hits at a bad angle and bounces off the armor of its intended target.

"Nice pig sticker, little man," Eanos calls to the spearman threatening Tyrien. There seems to be a second voice speaking with him, a hushed whisper which lulls the man slightly as Eanos adds, "Looks pretty heavy though, yes? Must be hard to move too quick with it."

He gives the slightest smile to Tyrien, saying, "You're too fast for him now, girl. Teach him not to stand in front of an archer, yes?"

[sblock=ooc]5-foot step horizontally / east (leaves Heinrich a 5' option that way, as well).

Full Attack as before:

Full Attack 1st arrow (+13) vs. H3 w/ Rapid Shot(-2) Justice (+2) PBS (+1) Bane (+2) Deadly Aim (-2);Damage w/ PBS, Deadly Aim, Destruction;Bane damage (1d20+14=22, 1d8+9=15, 2d6=4)

Attack 1 hits for 19 damage. Not sure if that's enough to drop H3. If it is, the next attack is for his buddy, H2. If not, stick with H3.

Full Attack 2nd arrow (+13) vs. H3 (H2 if H3 fell) w/ Rapid Shot(-2) Justice (+2) PBS (+1) Bane (+2) Deadly Aim (-2);Damage w/ PBS, Deadly Aim, Destruction;Bane damage (1d20+14=29, 1d8+9=17, 2d6=8)

Attack 2 hits for 25 damage. I'm going to assume at this point that H3 is down for sure.

Full Attack 3rd arrow (+8) vs. H3 w/ Rapid Shot(-2) Justice (+2) PBS (+1) Bane (+2) Deadly Aim (-2);Damage w/ PBS, Deadly Aim, Destruction;Bane damage (1d20+9=17, 1d8+9=14, 2d6=6)

Miss.

Forgot to roll my arrow recovery last round, so I just did three this go 'round to cover all the misses:

Missed arrows destroyed? (Arrows destroyed on 51-100) (1d100=47, 1d100=100, 1d100=68)

Two smooshed, one recoverable.

Swift Action: Cast Litany of Sloth on H1. He can't take AoO this round.

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien gritted her teeth through the pain from the scoring of the spearhead. It was not a bad wound, but it bled some and was painful nonetheless.

It did not stop her from nocking more arrows though and she stepped closer to the spearman to be inside his reach. “I will deal with you in a moment.”

She sent another volley of arrows up to the bandit archer up above but all three arrows missed.

Then she knocked a blunt arrow and tried to only knock out the thug right next to her.

[sblock=GM]Need some clarifications before update.

[MENTION=49929]Scott DeWar[/MENTION] You're several blocks from the crime scene. Now that Harry is down, the attackers seem to be focused on the party -- they just wanted to make sure Harry couldn't run. Also, casting in the square that you're in will provoke an AoO.

[MENTION=88649]perrinmiller[/MENTION] According to the SRD, only melee weapons can be used to deal NL damage. Also, NL and lethal damage don't stack, so it's going to extend the fight considerably to bring him all the way down to unconscious. Would you prefer no damage or lethal damage from your third arrow?[/sblock]

 

[jkason]

[sblock=ooc]I'm not PM, but since I think he can only post mornings and I think I know at least one of the answers, I'll chime in:

[MENTION=88649]perrinmiller[/MENTION] According to the SRD, only melee weapons can be used to deal NL damage.

It's a special quality of blunt arrows that they can be used for nonlethal as if with a melee weapon (since they're not pointy, I assume). The core combat rules don't appear to have been updated since that equipment was introduced in the APG, I guess under the "specific trumps general" idea, though the sprawl does make it harder to find these sorts of things, so it would be nice if they amended...

Also, NL and lethal damage don't stack, so it's going to extend the fight considerably to bring him all the way down to unconscious.

They're tracked separately, but the rules for falling unconscious from NL look like lowered HP make it easier, unless I'm reading it wrong. from This section:

when your nonlethal damage equals your current hit points, you're staggered [...] and when it exceeds your current hit points, you fall unconscious.

It probably still complicates things insofar as it's harder to hit when you're trying to knock out, but I think the "make him fall to the ground" time from lethal / non-lethal damage combinations should be roughly the same as taking a single track? I don't use NL a lot, though, so if I'm misreading, my apologies for muddying things.[/sblock]

 

[Systole]

[sblock=GM]You're correct on both counts, jk. I did not know that about blunt arrows, and I misread the NL section. (For the record, that was how I thought NL damage worked, but when I was trying to read up on blunt arrows, I got confused by 'total' and 'current.' Taking new meds and am a bit woozy and headachy.) PM's actions stand, but I still need to know if Heinrich wants to take the AoO or not.[/sblock]
