From AA16 I could also cast grease on Gnoll7 (from z17 to AA18). Would I have to drop the bow then? What do you think? [/sblock]

Want me to heal Umthirn again? I can step back to AA16 and use the wand again. Can Rhas help us out soaking some damage while I heal?

From AA16 I could also cast grease on Gnoll7 (from z17 to AA18). Would I have to drop the bow then? What do you think?

I think your first instinct sounds like the best one to me. The gnoll leader already circumvented the Grease spell before, so I'm not sure it would work this time. If Damaris uses the wand this round, and Umthrim takes a round to slug back a healing potion, he'll be in a better position to take damage again. And moving to AA16 opens up all of Rhas' firing lines, so he can decide where he wants to shoot, whether that's the big gnoll or the leader.

That's just my take on it, though. My tactical acumen is middling at best.[/sblock]

"Girl, heal me back up, and get outta cuz's shot! He can try and down that tall ugly one, so we can have the advantage!"
[sblock=OOC]
Umthirm needs to get back into the fight ASAP. Victory is in our grasp in Rhas can kill the tall ugly one. Umthirm can attempt to grapple the leader, to remove the greatsword from the equation.

Step back and heal him is my vote. Rhas open fires, hopes to kill the tall ugly. Then, just pray I don't roll crap again...

[soulnova]

"Hahaha. Nope." Damaris steps back away from the gnoll and uses her wand again on Umthirn. "Rhas, is time to put down some big rabid dogs. Umy, if you have any healing potion yourself, this is the time to take it!"

[Systole]

Rhas steps forward, raising his crossbow again. "Clear the lane, miss." No sooner is Damaris clear then he lets fly with another bolt which takes the large gnoll in the chest. It crashes to the ground. "Yar, sorted. Now let's see what you got, feller."

[sblock=OOC]Step to AB17. Fire at LG (assuming Damaris steps out of the way, which I think is a given).

Full attack. LG->G7, RS+PBS (1d20+9=26, 1d10+7=11, 1d20+9=16, 1d10+7=13)

"Now Now, Lass, while I am fully aware of the danger that guys sword, I can't have ya losing ya hands."

Watching the creature's movements carefully, Umthirm realizes something. A grin appears on his face.

"Did ya know, ya ugly son of a female dog," Umthirm takes a a quick step forward to close the distance between the dwarf and the gnoll

"Ya can't swing that sword around, " Umthrim quickly grabs the right shoulder of the gnoll with his left hand, and the gnolls left arm with his right. "If I grab ya tight enough?"

[sblock=OOC]
Alot of this depends on if the Exploit Weakness Works or not. If it fails, I'm doing the potion route:
Swift: Exploit Weakness Offensive vs DC 15 1d20+8=27 Success.

OK, I have a +12 to grapple this guy, and we need him grappled right now. If we are close, my vote is that Damaris uses another timely inspiration so Umthirm confirms it.

Free: 5' step to AA 17
Standard: Grapple (Improved Grapple) 1d20+12=27 Suck it.

[sblock=Timely Inspiration?] If needed Damaris uses another Timely Inspiration to help out umthirm as an immediate action. BTW, as Damaris is lvl 5, does that make it +2? or is it still +1?[/sblock]

"GRAB HIM!" the bard imbues her voice with inspirational magic.

~ Day 15, 13:43 - Miles North of Thornbury ~

The large warrior gnoll warrior falls flat on his face with the combination of the ninja's slashing and the crossbow bolt that buried itself into his gullet. The hulking gnoll was continuing to bleed from the fatal wounds.

The gnoll commander was strong and twisted out of the dwarf's grasp. Once free he stepped back and gripped his greatsword with both hands.

[sblock=GM Note]Soulnova, I think that is like other spells that require the second full number of levels to increase to +2. In this case that is 10th level.[/sblock]

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

"Many thanks, Prickly," Ru calls to Rhas as the large knoll falls. He smiles even bigger when Umthrim surprises the leader by grabbing him.

"Oh, now that is some skilled dancing you're passing up, doggie," Ru chastises as the gnoll breaks free. "Did your mysterious 'master' show you those poor manners? And just who is that, anyway?" The Rhat'matani adds as he maneuvers himself over the rather literal dog pile to brandish his blades and his wicked grin on the gnoll's northwest corner.

"Show him again what a good dance partner you are, will you, Ponytail?" he says, pointing to the gnoll's opposing flank. "I'm sure between the two of us we can show him the error of his ways?"

[sblock=ooc]Move: to X17. Even going through a square of difficult terrain for the bodies, he should have enough movement for that (5' to Y16, 10' to Y17). Should set up a flank that also keeps firing lines clear.

Standard: Ready an attack for when he's grappled or at least flanked:

Readied flanking attack; Damage with Dirty Fighter; Sneak Attack Damage. (1d20+11=19, 1d6+1=7, 2d6=6)

Pretty sure that only hits if Umthrim makes the grapple (due to the Dex penalty). Seriously, invisible castle. Why do you hate Ru so?[/sblock]
