Q'Barra: Facing Truth

[EvolutionKB]

Kaelan

Init: 17

With little a pause, Kaelan emerges from the forest with his scimitar at the ready. He stands beside Catherine and will strike at the big lizard as it approaches. [sblock=ooc] Move to Catherine's side and ready attack to hit the lizard.That is a miss: Nat 1 [/sblock]


[sblock=alternate actions]If the lizards go before Kaelan and he is not being attacked and a lizard is within five feet, then he will five foot step and take a full attack. You were going to email us if something changes right? If the lizards go before Kaelan, he will five foot possible to full attack if possiblehit ac: 12 & 22, damage 9 and 6. I forgot to change the special text in the link but it is right. If you don't want us to reroll attacks, just let us know[/sblock]

The party springs in to action like a well-oiled machine. Catherine readies her halberd and tries to concentrate on identifying the lizards. She recognizes them as monitor lizards, and knows that they are quite aggressive and use both their teeth and claws to attack. She also knows that they are adept at climbing trees.

Charles rushes up to one of the lizards and lunges at it with his spear. The lizard scurries out of the way, and all Charles hits is open air.

Darrick spurs Steadfast into action and moves to Catherine's right side. He draws his sword and waits to see if one of the lizards will approach.

Immediately, the lizard directly in front of him rushes forward and snaps its jaws at Darrick's right leg. Darrick reacted quickly and pulled his leg away from the lizard, and its jaws closed on nothing but air. Darrick swings his sword at it, but he is unable to connect.

As Darrick was busy with his lizard, the lizard in front of Catherine charges at her and snaps at her left leg. Catherine isn't fast enough to dodge, and the lizard latches on to her leg. Catherine grunts in pain as the lizard releases its hold. She swings her halberd at it, but misses.

Kaelan swings his scimitar mightily, and the lizard dodges the first blow, but the second connects. Kaelan cleanly cuts in to the creatures back, and it hisses in pain.

Trebuchet steps to the left of Catherine and fires at the lizard that attacked her. The ray of light strikes the lizard, and it screeches in pain as its flesh scorches and splits.

The lizard that Charles had stabbed at rears up and lunges forward snapping at his knees, its teeth scraping against his right knee.

Sepoto vanishes from sight and scurries up a tree that is to the left of Catherine. He quickly applies venom to his arrow and waits for a clear shot.

(Whew! Sorry for the delay guys. The weekends are busy for me, but I try to make this game a priority. I've also added grid coordinates to the map now, so that should make it easier for everyone to give me directions for their characters!)

Damage breakdown:
Catherine took 10
Lizard1 took 6
Lizard2 took 14
Charles took 6

 

[EvolutionKB]

Kaelan quickly steps to the other side of the lizard, into flanking with Steadfast. His double scimitar is a blur as he attempts to expose the lizard's interior anatomy.

[sblock=ooc]Kaelan five foot steps to G13, takes a full attack. Both attacks hit AC 18, damage is 5 then 6, total: 11[/sblock]

 

[Rolzup]

"Back, reptile!" Darrick bellows, thinking (under the stress of combat) that this somehow sounds properly combative. He slashes with his sword again, his training coming back to him, aiming for the base of the beast's throat. Steadfast, panicking a little from the scent of the lizards, rears up and lashes out at the air.

[sblock]Darrick swings again, rather more effectively this time. 26 to hit, 7 damage. Steadfast, not outshining his master this time, strikes with teeth and hooves...only to miss, with a 9 and a 10, with his hooves and then snap at the air with his teeth (another 9). I didn't take the flanking bonus into account for Steadfast, I now realize, but I doubt that it will help...and if it does, the links have my damage rolls as well.[/sblock]

 

[BRP2]

Bloody Reptile! Charles screams as his wound stings. He doesn't let it slow him down however. He bits down on his tongue, springs back and rushes his body around the lizard for another attempt at it's right side. (Should he encounter no error), he will do his best to plunge his spear into the lizard as an act of revenge.

[sblock]
He willingly provokes an AoO as he moves around the lizard to activate his Skirmish bonus on his next attack. He moves diagonal to C-6 then to B-8, 25 feet of movement. There is still drow poison on his spear.

Hmm, I forgot to count any Auras for my character but initiative last round lol... boy, Marshals are a pain ;p. Let's just pretend Charles was being careless and half ignored Darrick until the lizard bit sum' sense into him.

HP: 20/26
AC vs White10 AoO: 24 (which happens when he moves) (Thanks to Darrick, I'm at Max Dex bonus of +5, +2 from him)
AC vs White10 non-AoO: 20

I get a +1 to attack from Darrick too, thanks Darrick!

Attack (1d20+7=21)

Damage if it lands:

Damage; Skirmish (1d8+4=5, 1d6=5)

10 Damage total.

Btw, just in case of the future, don't forget my "Distracting Attack" feat. What it does is give +1 to all my friends' attacks against the same creature I attack, hit or miss. Boy, I guess I'm just as bad as a Marshal.

[Rookseye]

Sepoto steadies his shoulders, squares them, and lets loose an arrow upon the hissing reptiles that harry Catherine, Darrick, and Charles.

[SBLOCK] Provided Sepoto has line of sight to lizard #1, he fires at whatever monitor lizard (either #1 or #2) seems the least wounded. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Yeoman]

Catherine spins her halberd around in a defensive posture before attempting to slam the spear head into the lizard that bit her.

Attack Roll 16
Damage 10

[Shayuri]

Trebuchet steps left again, trying to keep his target in his sights. Determining that another thermal ray might be a waste of power, he choose to go with a less potent, more efficient attack.

"Fire evocation, ranged, tier one. Elements heating." On the bulging cowling of his left arm, two small tubes slid out from concealed compartments; one on each side of the arm.

"Ignition. Clear firing area."

With a somewhat unimpressive coughing noise, each tube discharged a small, blindingly fast bolt of fire that converged on a single target. The lizard attacking Catherine.

(Lesser Orb of Fire! 1d20 to hit (takes into account -4 from shooting into melee), 2d8 damage)

[sblock=roll]Result: 2 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=925314[/sblock]

Catherine stabs her halberd forward into the lizard in front of her. The lizard screeches in pain as the spear point connects with its chest.

Charles attempts to whip around the lizard, but it snaps at his legs as he maneuvers behind it. He grunts in pain as the lizard's teeth sink in to the back of his left leg. He reacts quickly and stabs his spear at the lizard. He connects, and the lizard hisses in pain. It appears that the lizard is unaffected by the poison on his spearhead, as it does not fall unconscious.

Darrick swung his sword and connected with a solid blow to the lizard in front of him. The lizard screeched in pain as its right side was sliced open. Steadfast must have been unsure of the lizards, because his hooves stomped harmlessly in to the ground, and his teeth closed on empty air.

The lizard in front of Darrick lunged forward, snapping its jaws at his left leg. Darrick was not lucky this time, and the lizard's jaws closed on his foot.

The lizard in front of Catherine snapped at her right leg, its teeth scraping right below her knee.

Kaelan maneuvered behind the lizard that was attacking Darrick, and swung his scimitar mightily. The lizard hissed and screeched as both of Kaelan's attacks connected.

Trebuchet tried to avoid his companions as he fired towards the lizard. Unfortunately he over-compensated, and the fireball whizzed past both Catherine and the lizard.

The lizard that Charles was engaging closed the distance between them, and it snapped his jaws at him. Charles easily dodged the lizard's attack.

Sepoto remained invisible, and fired his arrow at the lizard that was engaging Catherine. The lizard made a final hiss of pain, before collapsing at Catherine's feet, Sepoto's arrow sticking out of its head.

Damage breakdown:
Darrick took 5 damage.
Catherine took 10 damage.
Charles took 10 damage.
Lizard1 took 18 damage.
Lizard2 is dead.
Lizard3 took 10 damage.

Biting back a curse, Darrick directs another swordblow at the lizard that bit him, hoping to finish the job this time, but merely inflicts a shallow cut along it's flank....

[sblock]26 to hit, 4 damage.[/sblock]

...while Steadfast, enraged by the smell of his master's blood, rears up and strikes again....

[sblock]Again forgot to include the flanking bonus, again it probably doesn't matter. First hoof gets a 23, for 13 damage, second hoof rolls a 9. Even adjusted to 11, I'm sure that's a miss. Bite attack is a mere 12, including the flanking bonus.[/sblock]

...with one hoof striking the reptile's skull a solid blow.
