OOC - Mad King's Monkey (Thread Closed)

[doghead]

[MENTION=49929]Scott DeWar[/MENTION] - Yes, there are still gnolls about, four of them still breathing.
[MENTION=83982]Electric Wizard[/MENTION] - assuming the intention is to kill the gnoll, then this might be your best course of action:

Coup de Grace

As a full-round action, you can use a melee weapon to deliver a coup de grace (pronounced "coo day grahs") to a helpless opponent. You can also use a bow or crossbow, provided you are adjacent to the target.

You automatically hit and score a critical hit. If the defender survives the damage, he must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + damage dealt) or die. A rogue also gets her extra sneak attack damage against a helpless opponent when delivering a coup de grace.

Delivering a coup de grace provokes attacks of opportunity from threatening opponents.

You can't deliver a coup de grace against a creature that is immune to critical hits. You can deliver a coup de grace against a creature with total concealment, but doing this requires two consecutive full-round actions (one to "find" the creature once you've determined what square it's in, and one to deliver the coup de grace).

Closing with the sleeping gnolls requires a move action, so choosing the Coup de Grace option would mean it wouldn't happen until Round 6. The Move and Attack option is doable in Round 5, but an attack would wake the gnoll if it survived.

Before doing either, however, Sukri has to get past both Bayar in the doorway, and the surviving dog. You can move through a square occupied by a friendly character, unless you are charging. You can't move through a square occupied by an opponent unless the opponent is helpless. However, a trained character can attempt to use Acrobatics to move through a square occupied by an opponent (Acrobatics check vs DC 20). Sukri, IIRC, has some ability in Acrobatics.

Thanks for the info! I will probably do that for the next round. But right now, I am going after the dog that is still attacking Bayar.

Singing and loosing an arrow simultaneously, Jan takes aim at a gnoll.

1d20+2=16, 1d6=2

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

So, since Sukri goes first, does this mean Eban is inside to side of the doorway, Bayar in the doorway, and there are two gnolls slumbering on the ground outside? Does Eban spot anything else? (He has not been told there are more, as he's only aware of the ones at front of house)

First things first, apologies for the delay in getting the last rounded updated. I haven't been able to make the time needed.

This is probably going to be the case for the next few days as well.

You realise that this will wake the gnoll, if it does not kill it? Just wanted to check first.

Yes. Eban is inside behind Bayars left shoulder. Sukri will slip past Bayar and engage the dog in front of the fighter. The two gnolls a five feet in front of Bayar and Sukri.

Eban cannot see any other gnolls outside the house (apart from the dead one).

I was under the idea that this: @Scott DeWar - Yes, there are still gnolls about, four of them still breathing.

meant live and moving within view, not asleep and presumed dead.

Quick query, I hope... Are we posting for round 6 now, or still trying to tidy up round 5?

Correct as amended.

As of now, posting for Round 6.

[doghead]

Not sure who was waiting for who, so I thought I would push on with what I had. The things that did happen, however, kind of changed everything anyway, so the Round is still open.

From the OOC Round 6 summary:

Libros, Jan and Sukri all have their full actions available to them. Eban has a standard action remaining. Jan and Libros are upstairs. It would take a full move action to get to then ground floor. Bayar and Sukri are at the front door. Eban is beside the gnolls. I held off on his attack in case Eban wanted to use it to get out of the firing line. Dropping prone would give him full concealment. Of course he can still attack, but it would leave him exposed next round.

Nuts, no dice rolls. Can't access Invisible Castle on this network. So, the descriptive aspect is poorer. My apologies.

No need to apologise. You gave me all the numbers I needed to make the rolls. Cheers.

You don't have to link to dice rolls. You can use your own dice if you wish.
