[Pathfinder] [IC] Hall of the Dwarven Lord

[HolyMan]

Brawar nods to the cleric in thanks and then says to everyone. "Everyone withdraw back! Back away from it, then when it follows one group prepare to attack it from behind."

Suiting actions to words Barwar withdraws back into the room they found the cat beast in.

[sblock=OOC] Withdraw to W-12, and watch from around the corner. If it goes after Cade and Fabhal He will leap out to get into flanking postion. If it follows then the others can come in behind it. Win Win!! [/sblock]

 

[Arkhandus]

Cade the rogue

Cade grumbles some more and takes another careful swing, then takes a few steps back. This time, he finally connects, smashing his spiked morningstar into the beast's shoulder, and Cade grins victoriously. "There, now, see? Why can't the rest of you hit this thing? Kill it already!!" he remarks, handily ignoring the fact that his first few swings hardly even came close.

[sblock=Action]Another attack with Combat Expertise for +1 to my AC. Then a 5-foot step back, to the south.
1d20+6-1=25, 1d8+4=5
Natural 20 to-hit! For minimum damage, 5 points...... Got a 15 to confirm the possible crit, which probably fails, but 8 more damage if it does succeed.
1d20+6-1=15, 1d8+4=8

I got a 69 to overcome the miss chance versus the displacer beast.
1d100=69

Cade's status: HP 17/22, CMD 17, AC 17 with Combat Expertise (touch 13, flat-footed 14)[/sblock]
[sblock=Flanking]True, we can't flank it right now, but it WOULD help if we can get it to move into a flankable position. Cade's damage output nearly TRIPLES when flanking, if he can actually land a hit. If. :-/ [/sblock]

Round 11

"Back up, Fabahl!" Morjik attempts to flank with Cade, but it is hard with the beast in the corner. Once more, the beast starnge defensive ability is enough to prevent the attack from hitting.
Just as quickly as he steps up, the valorous (and mostly dead) Gnome steps back and casts another spell. The positive energies begin to heal some wounds.
Brawar nods to the cleric in thanks and then says to everyone. "Everyone withdraw back! Back away from it, then when it follows one group prepare to attack it from behind." Suiting actions to words Barwar withdraws back into the room they found the cat beast in.

Kill it already!!" he remarks, handily ignoring the fact that his first few swings hardly even came close.
The beast follows the rogue, but isn't able to connect it's blows with him!

Is this the big change in direction of the combat...?

[HolyMan]

Brawar takes a deep breath and casts his Shield spell hoping the added protection will save him for the second stupidest thing he is about to do in as many minutes.

After the transparent disk is floating securely in front of him he steps back out into the hall and moves doding tentacles as he tries to get behind the beast.

"Dul in éag, diabhal cat!" Taking heart in his surly friend's success, Fabhal swings away mightily with his odd weapon . . . this time both ends strike true!

[sblock=Actions]Maybe . . . Fabhal hit both times!

Cade the rogue

Cade grins and swings away again, trying to smash the monster's face while Brawar distracts it a bit, but he looks surprised as his morningstar sweeps through the spot where he thought the cat was standing, but without any impact...... The rogue just gawks for a moment, though quickly raising his morningstar back into a defensive position.

[sblock=ooc]Yes! Flank with Cade! Cade like! Cade smash!

Combat Expertise still in use.

...........I got a 50 to overcome concealment, so that probably fails against the displacer beast.........
1d100=50

.......and only a lousy 13 to-hit, or rather 15 with flanking. Woulda been 14 damage though.
1d20+6-1=13, 1d8+4+2d6=14

Morjik Favored of Torag

Morjick again brings the Hammer of the Forge to bear against the beast.

Round 12

Brawar takes a deep breath and casts his Shield spell hoping the added protection will save him for the second stupidest thing he is about to do in as many minutes. After the transparent disk is floating securely in front of him he steps back out into the hall and moves dodging tentacles as he tries to get behind the beast. But the beast seems to have some sort of special sense, hitting the true mage unerringly. Brawar nearly looses his conscious.
"Dul in éag, diabhal cat!" Taking heart in his surly friend's success, Fabhal swings away mightily with his odd weapon . . . this time both ends strike true and draw blood!
Cade grins and swings away again, trying to smash the monster's face while Brawar distracts it a bit, but he looks surprised as his morningstar sweeps through the spot where he thought the cat was standing, but without any impact...... The rogue just gawks for a moment, though quickly raising his morningstar back into a defensive position.
Morjick again brings the Hammer of the Forge to bear against the beast, but misses again.
The beast assaults the source of it's latest pain, nearly killing the gnome in one deadly assault.

Displacer AoO (3 is Brawar) (1d20+9=21, 1d6+4=7, 1d3=3)

Heroes are up. Sorry, Mowgli. All, don't forget your healing water and that one in full defense could provoke an attack to give others an opening for unusual actions.

OOC: rolling dice and praying to whatever god Brawar worships... nevermind

Sorry, Mowgli. All, don't forget your healing water and that one in full defense could provoke an attack to give others an opening for unusual actions.

NP, WD. Tough opponent, made worse by the fact that the dice really had it in for us - damn thing hits us every time it swings and we can't catch a break.
