Return of the Slavelords, Part 2 - "Bright City, Dark Hearts"

Well, I had to clarify that: the previous spells can be cast without having to ride so fast, since the orcs don´t know we´re there. The sound burst is also not cast at full spell; notice that in that round I plan to dismount too.

[occ] OK just to be 100% clear, you will cast all the spells except Sound Burst, before you start riding... [/occ]

Exactly, the buff spells before we start galloping (since it´s only 12 round before we get there, even the 1minute/level spell will last enough), and the sound burst obviously after, since it´s range is Short.
 

Greyhawk Mark, morning (misty)

[occ] Sorry I am late with this, I have been really sick the last few days. Anyway better now, not great but better. Also note that we lost Geenaa's player and I think Defrel also :( I think I will try and recruit a couple replacements and say those two are going to check something else out. For this battle I will NPC them [/occ]


Round 1 (500ft away)

Verrick fires a long range shot at the orcs.
Attack roll 6 -9 +1 =0 nope.
but it falls far short.

Round 2 (250ft away)

And then fires another arrow…
Attack roll 4 -1 +1 =4
…but another miss.

The Orc archers also fire at the party this round…
Attack rolls, all miss
…but not really come close to the party.

Round 3 (rolling initiative this round) some party pulling up 30-40ft away, Philo and Geenaa charging forward…
22- Norbac and Defrel
21 - Lorien
19 - Verrick
12 - Orcs
5 -Geenaa
4 - Philo


Stopping back about 40ft, Norbac dismounts as quickly as possible and casts a burst a sound…
Catching 5 of the creatures (and the leader) within the area. Fort Saves DC15, leader is 25; the other four get 8, 22, 16 and 14. Three of them fail and stagger about for this round
…catching most of them within the area, causing three to yell in pain and hold their ears!

Defrel dismounts, drawing war kiss and standing a bit in front of Norbac for this round…

Lorien dismounts and fires an arrow at one of the stunned Orcs…
Attack roll 7 +12 +1 (bless) =20 a hit. Damage is 7 +2 (favored enemy) =11 points of damage
…sinking an arrow deep into it's throat. It goes down hard and does not regain its feet.

Verrick, ridding a little closer (within 30ft) dismounts and also fires an arrow at one of the stunned creatures…
Attack roll 13 +9 +1 (bless) = 23 a hit. Damage 6 points +2d6 surprise strike 10 more points, of damage
…sneaking it deep into the creature's chest. It to falls to the ground dead.

The three Orcs remaining un-stunned charge forward (one going for Verrick, one for Philo and one for Geenaa. Rolling random to see where the leader goes is Philo!)…
Attack roll against Philo (the leader orc roar with furry before attacking) 26 a hit. Damage is 16 points of damage. The creature on Verrick rolls natural 20! confirm roll is 22 to hit a crit. Damage is 12 points of damage! Against Geenaa, a great axe in hand, swings at her 18 to hit. Damage is 12 points of damage
…all three hitting and doing damage!

The four orcs behind move forward, they are about 20ft from Verrick and 30ft from the rest of the party.

The four coming from the north side of the homestead charge the party, attacking (random) Norbac, Defrel, Geenaa and Lorien…
Defrel gets to attack the one coming on him first. Attack roll is 19 +9 +1 =29 a hit, chance for crit, 2 +10 =12 no. Damage against the orc is 4 points of damage. Attack roll vs. Norbac (carrying a axe) 13 a miss. vs. Defrel (carrying an axe) 25 a hit; Damage is 8 points. vs. Geenaa (carrying an big sword) 7 miss. vs. Lorien (carrying a axe) 23 a hit; damage is 8 points

The archers drop their bows, draw weapons and rush forward…

Geenaa, yelling in rage, dismounts and attacks one of the creatures on her…
Attack roll 3 +12 +1 (bless) =16, hit because the creature charge her. Damage is 10 points of damage
…causing the orc to stagger but it remains on its feet!

Philo also dismounts and attacks the leader…
Attack roll 4 +11 +1 (bless) =16 a miss! (even through the beast charge AND is raging)
…but his sword glances off the huge orc's plate armor!

Norbac´s lips retracts, showing his teeth and tusks; evading the creature´s axe, he backsteps and aims for the throat with the longspear.

[OOC: Move 5 feet if neccesary to have one orc within longspear range, and attack; attack roll is 9(roll)+10(attack bonus)+1(bless)=20, damage is 9.

I have a reach weapon, the orc attacking Norbac should have drawn an AoO, if I´m not missing something?

By the way, party´s damage is:

Philo 16
Verrick 12
Geena 19
Lorien 8
Defrel 8

Active spells:
Norbac´s AC is 22 thanks to Shield of Faith, Geena has Bull´s Strenght (+2 to hit and +3 damage with a 2 handed weapon), Verrick has Magic Vestment (+1 AC), and everyone is Blessed (+1 to hit, +1 to saves against Fear effects)]
 


(yeah, that flu seems serious. Also, you already edited that, but the orcs clutching they eyes because of the Sound Burst warned of nasty DM´s brain malfunction)
 

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

Verrick drops his bow and draws steel summoning the flame from his blade as it clears the sheath. He feints toward the Orc' face hoping the sudden appearence of flame will allow him to slip past the startled Orcs defence next round.

OOC: Bluff check +6, next round full attack with sword and dagger hopefully getting in a sneak attack.
 

Philo Human Paladin

Philo will make two attacks on the Orc leader. In the first attack he will use his Smite attack (not he has Improved Smite feat).
 

Round 4
22- Norbac
21 - Lorien
19 - Verrick
12.5 - Defrel
12 - Orcs
5 -Geenaa
4 - Philo


Norbac stabs into the Orc on him, causing the brute to grunt in pain, but not dropping him. It growls in rage and readies an advance…

Lorien drops his bow, draws his bastard sword two-handed, and slashes at the Orc attacking him…
Attack roll natural 1, miss; 2nd attack 18 +5 +1 (blessed) =24 a hit, as it is Keen, chance for crit, 2 +5 +1 =8 nope. Damage is 1d10+6 +2 favored enemies = 15 points of damage
…ripping the creature's stomach open. It screams and falls to the ground.

The Orcs strike back with furry and rage; the one on Norbac tries to rush past his spear point…

The eight Orcs that dropped their bows last round, rush forward and can charge next round but not this round! They howl with blood lust… ready to attack.

Geenaa swings wild attacking the first Orc with Smashed
