[LPF] Precious Cargo

[Qik]

Maui manages to deflect the summoned dog's attack with his shield as he maneuvers his way around the creature. Taniwha closes in from the other side, and the pair attack in a well-rehearsed tandem. The dog fails to choose which side to defend against, and, in consequence, both are able to land their attacks, with Taniwha's sending the dog sprawling.

Meanwhile, Eanos hops the cart in one fluid motion and summons another downpour of water. The group watches eagerly, but the water fails to reveal either form or footprint.

[sblock=OOC]Both Maui and Taniwha hit. I do believe flank gets added to CMB, which means the dog is currently prone (the intent of the blue circle), and moderately damaged. As stated, no one saw any evidence of the summoner in Eanos' water-casting.

The crass blue squares indicate where the water leveled out to.

Tamarel/Sauvressa and Fulgrim to act, then its the baddies' turn.[/sblock][sblock=Map]

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

Eanos looks frantically to both sets of pooled water.

"Either he's running, or .... " Eanos mutters to himself, then his eyes go wide. "Phedilo! Get inside and lock the door!" he calls out with obvious worry and agitation.

[sblock=ooc]I'm assuming this doesn't break the rounds since talking is a free action.[/sblock]

 

[Qik]

Eanos' words snap Phedilo out of his conflict-induced paralysis. Without word, the halfling hurriedly pulls open the door, launches himself inside, and then slams it shut, followed by an audible click of the lock.

[sblock=OOC]Fine by me. I figured it was fair enough to have Phedilo act right away, considering he hasn't done so in the last round or two.

Fulgrim and Tam/Sauv still to act.[/sblock]

 

[Tark]

Temarel will continue concentrating.

Sauvressa will move to E8 and chop the dog to bits.

Fulgrim moves towards the water to the west, axe in hand shouting out "Watch yer step dere magicy one, I'll be cuttin' ye down with me axe!"

[sblock=OOC]

Fulgrim moves to E7. He will be watching the water for any signs of steps and ready an action to attack any square with footsteps in it. He will also listen for sounds of casting.

No sooner has Fulgrim finished shouting out his threats then the caster responds with a yell of his own. The air around the group swirls momentarily once again, and once more, the forms of four vicious-looking hounds condense from nothingness and begin their assault, two each setting upon Fulgrim and Sauvressa. The angelic eidolon manages to deflect both attacks with ease, but, in his rage, Fulgrim is unable to defend against either: the first hound's bite opens another wound on the dwarf, and the second's sends him tumbling to the ground.

Tamarel continues his task of detecting the magical auras around him, keeping surprisingly cool in the face of all the chaos.

[sblock=Fulgrim]Fulgrim is certain that the caster was standing at D -2 when he cast the spell.[/sblock][sblock=Tamarel]Tamarel detects eight auras, all of which are faint. He assumes the party is responsible for five of these (Eanos' three spells and his two), and that the other three are the caster's haste and summonings.[/sblock][sblock=OOC]Sauvressa kills the remaining dog from the first summon monster spell.

The summoner summons four more dogs: two attack Sauvressa and miss, two attack Fulgrim and both hit, for a total of 15 damage after his DR. Fulgrim is also tripped, and is currently prone (the purpose of the triangle).

Party up.[/sblock][sblock=Map]

[sblock=OOC]

Did you figure in the +4 to my CMD for defending against being tripped? Dwarven Racial bonus.

[/sblock]

 

[Qik]

[sblock=OOC]My apologies - I did not. In that case, Fulgrim was *not* tripped.[/sblock]

Good to be the dwarf! Thanks Qik, I'll be posting later tonight...

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

"I'm going to root you out, Whisperer, and I'm going to plant an arrow in your thrice-damned ear!" Eanos says, dancing out of the way of the new dogs. He brings his senses to bear, hoping to get some sense of where the slippery blighter is casting from, ready at this point to fire at anything he feels is a decent guess.

[sblock=actions]Free: 5' step to C9
Moveerception check, focusing on puddles / listening for casting:

Perception (1d20+9=26)

Standard: Conditional / held action. Since there are factors that change this, I'll post both scenarios (and roll for them) to try not to delay anything:

(1) If Eanos sees signs that reasonably suggest a square (either splash / divot in a puddle or hears the sound of casting), he'll fire. That may mean his action's held until the enemy's turn, but I'm okay with that (especially if it forces a concentration check on the bugger. ).

Longbow attack; damage (w/ Justice Inquisition); Miss chance (1d20+6=17, 1d8+2=9, 1d100=63)

(2) If any of the dogs move to attack Eanos before he can pinpoint the caster (really should have thought better of it and cast Prot from Evil instead of SoF when this started. D'oh!), he'll instead attack them with his cestus.

Cestus attack; Damage (w/ Justice Inquisition) (1d20+3=14, 1d4+2=6)[/sblock]
