Percy listens to Felicity talk and reacts fast when the beast appears, spinning on his heel and waiting to see if Felicity can calm the beast, when she decides she can't he will back up and send an arrow into the beast's hide.


OOC:

Accurate Strike is active
Init: 18 (delayed to 10)
Attack Roll: 14 (Target is 15 - 2 for the charge (going by SRD here))
Damage: 4 points

Lindal - Half Orc Ranger

Moving to co-ordinate with Fortin, Lindal moved forward quickly and silently. As the great bear turned it's attention to the screaming human warrior, Lindal lash out with his captured axe, cursing under his breath as the beast thick fur turn the worst of his blow.

Still, thick red blood oozed from the wound, and Lindal prayed that they would finish this quickly and with minimal pain to the bear.

OOC: Lindal delays his action to move with Fortin, and then strikes with his axe. Initiative 16 19 to-hit, 5 damage (with maybe a +2 for flanking)

 

[Voadam]

Initiative 14+2=16

Dagmar runs forward directly into the path of the bear and shouting to catch its attention and readies his spear to catch the bear's charge.

16+3=19 d8+3, d8+3=6+3, 7+3=19 damage!

 

[FreeXenon]

Franky: Rnd 1: Init: 12

AC: 16 HP: 8 Init: 12 (9 +3)
Morningstar +1 d6 20 x2
Light X-bow +5, d6, 19-20 x2

After Franky sees everyone charge in to attack the enraged bear he drops his crossbow to the the gound and spits out "Crumple!!" - frustrated at his lack of skill (cannot safely fire into combat), and pulls out his morning star. He carefeuly moves forward to assist his comrades in combat.

I am assuming this will take a full round (2 move actions). Moving in to perform an assist other action next round because he does not have Precise Shot. He will try to move to where he can get to a flanking position and with someone an assist someone he is next to.

Round 1
Bear Initiative is 9.

Koric's blow brings a bellow from the animal. 11hp

Felicity's bolt lands short and the rest of the party attacks.

The great beast ignores the arrow in its side as it attacks the nearest warrior. 4hp

Fortin's slash doesn't even slow her down. 5hp

Lindal's axe slices the bear's hide, but does little damage. 5hp

Franky attempts to go around the bear to an unprotected area.

The great beast screams an almost human sound as it plows directly into the spear set in its path.19hp

The bear rear's on her hind legs, standing almost nine feet tall and swings at Dagmar with all her might, 10+8=18 doing a tremendous amount of damage, 6+8=14!

Good Round.

Begin Round 2
Order (due to all the delaying/readying) is Koric, Felicity, Percy, Fortin, Lindal, Franky, Dagmar, Bear.
(If you have any problems with anything, let me know.)

 

[Wilphe]

Percy will look to the caravaners to see what they are doing and steady them if necessary. If any of them look like bolting he will get in their way and grab them back in place, "Steady lads. It's just a bear,". He sees one of them has a spear, but is rather too nervous to approach the bear, "You have length and reach, use them. Step up behind one of the others and thrust in, don't worry about keeping hold of the weapon once it's in good and deep."

 

[Harvey]

Koric, Half-Orc Cleric of Pelor

"Ho, friends! This bear is stronger than it looks!" Koric continues the attack, swinging away. However, his swing goes wide, missing the bear.

Attack 6 + 4 = 10.

Fortin says nothing, just concentrates on his fighting. It must be an effective technique, because his next swing connects (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=77751). Unfortunately, though he draws blood again, he doesn't actually do much damage to the bear- only enrages it further.(http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=77752)

OOC: if anyone can help me figure out how to link the way everyone else does, I'll be happy to conform

Lindal - Half Orc Ranger

Cursing loudly, Lindal steps inbetween Dagmar and the bear, shoving the dwarf out of the way if needed. "Step back for a moment, Dagmar! Don't let it concentrate on any one of us..."

With that, Lindal prepares himself for the bear's next blow, hoping it will continue attacking the same location regardless of target. Then, time seems to slow as he spots a hole in the bears defense and he slams his great axe into her face with brutal force.

OOC: Fighting defensively - and smoking dice rolls make for Lindal's best blow of the game so far... c'est la vie.

Hits AC 19, 16! Damage

Current AC is 17.

Scout, if you want to see how we're doing the links, just quote one of the relevant posts and it will show you the code.

Edit: Bet Fortin kills it before I get to land my blow...

 

[reddist]

Felicity drops her crossbow to her side and dips a hand into one of the pouches at her belt. Her hand comes up and she shakes it, like she's rattling dice. You can hear her muttering under her breath and whatever it is in her hand begins to burn, so that her entire hand looks like its engulfed in flame. She pulls her arm back and throws the burning mass at the bear, shouting "Sun's Bright Heat!".

The small flaming ball smacks the bear in the side of her head, impacting with a thwap that causes the mass to burst, covering the bear's face with flaming embers. Smoke begins to curl up and the heavy smell of burnt fur stings your nostrils.

(Touch Atk: 11+3=14, Dmg:6+3=9)
