The dashed lines represent a new post.---------------------Posted by: DMYou find yourself in a room 10’ by 10’. The walls are crafted of hewn stone. In a corner, upon a pedestal, sits a pie. In front of the pedestal, looking very hungry, is an orc.The orc wears crude studded leather armor and wields a poorly made Morningstar and a wooden shield.It looks at you and growls, “My pie! You no eat! MY PIE!”InitiativeRedgar (18 + 4) = 22Orc (13 + 0) = 13 Galstaff (5 + 4) = 9Map: (see below, normally would be here if this was actually in game)----------------------Posted by: GalstaffGalstaff calls out, “Die fiend!”I cast MAGIC MISSLE!Galstaff casts magic missile defensively.-----------------------Posted by: RedgarRedgar glares the orc down, “Redgar eat your pie, orc!”Redgar attacks with his bastard sword.------------------------------------Posted by: DMRedgar lunges at the orc with a diagonal slash. The orc is unable to dodge the blow, but catches the blow on his shield. (To Hit 10 + 3 = 13 vs. AC 14) This knocks Redgar off balance leaving the orc an opening.The orc bellows and swings his mace right into Redgar’s side. (To Hit 15 + 1 =16 vs. AC 15). Redgar feels a rib crack under the force of the blow (6 damage).Galstaff attempts to take advantage of the distraction and begins to intone a spell. However, the orc reacts too quickly and delivers a little blow to Galstaff’s thigh. (Concentration check 10 + 4 = 14 vs. DC 15. AoO for 2 damage)The hero are shocked by the orc’s martial prowess.Status:Redgar 6/12 hpGalstaff 4/6 hpOrc appears unwounded-----------------Posted by: Redgar“Redgar says, you die now!”Power attack the orc with a  -2 to hit.----------Posted by: Galstaff“Mommy!!!”, Galstaff whimpersGlastaff cowers in a corner.Total defense for this round.---------------------Posted by: DMRedgar lunges at the orc with a brutal overhead strike. The orc is caught and unable to dodge. (To Hit 20+1 = 21, Confirm 14+1 = 15 vs. Ac 14). Redgar blow destroys the orc with a spray of blood. (15 damage)With your last foe dead at your feet, the way to the pie is open!StatusRedgar 6/12 hpGalstaff 4/6 hpOrc appears dead and diced.This is a really quick and thrown together example. Actual combat will be better organized on the DM's side. Red is dice rolls and blue is any DM talk.</blockquote>
