S1: The Strange Case of Aif Jenkins' Farm (E13 judge) - Concluded

[Bront]

ooc: Actually, concentration can be used to avoid an AOO related to a skill check, and regaining focus is just a skill check. Here's the quote:

OOC: Cool, though no effect, since she wasn't hit anyway

 

[Manzanita]

Round 8 (expanded)
Euseibus strikes out at the closer monk, landing one glancing blow (2 pts dmg)

Round 9 (con't)
Beamer lobs an acid ball at a monk, missing.

Mano moves after the orc, at his blinding speed. He shouts in common as he leaps for another kick. "Give that back, fool!" Again, he hits the orc hard.

"Kill him" shouts the orc in common to the armored men as he charges past them. At this point, it is clear that these men are the farmhands who were last seen with Aif Jenkins above. They had changed to chainmail and got swords in Jenkin's basement. They seem a bit confused by the orc, but gamely move to attack Mano. The battle quickly becomes chaotic, but Mano can be seen to be struck by at least one blade.

The archers pursue their boss, dropping their bows and pulling falchions off their backs as they run South.

Round 9 status:
Init order:
Monks (8 dmg & 2 dmg)
Beamer (11/17)
Mano (25 dmg taken)
Orc (36 dmg taken)
Farmhand warriors (3)
archers (1 & 2) (one injured from earlier combat)
Banion (29/40) (mind blade ready) <--
Eusebius (4/37, mage armor)
Juliana (6/45, force screen, thicken skin)

 

[Bront]

'Flank him' Juliana says to Banion mentaly as she steps into a flank (If needed) and attack.

OOC: Juliana strikes at #4 (1d20+7=16, 1d10+4=7), possable +2 to hit for flanking.

 

[Boddynock]

Once again Eusebius lashes out once, twice in quick succession, furious to drop this bothersome opponent and go after the bald monk.

OOC: flurry

 

[Patlin]

Banion takes a 5' step, charging his mindblade as he moves, and stabs at the monk.

Melee Attack (1d20+7=8, 1d4+2+1d8=8)

ooc: Natural 1 - Miss. Mindblade remains charged. Banion is now standing over Boog.

 

[Manzanita]

Round 9 (con't)
Juliana takes down one monk. Eusebius and Banion miss.

Round 10.
The last monk realizes he's hopelessly outnumbered and outclassed. He retreats, tumbling by Banion's mindblade efficiently.

Round 9 status:
Init order:
Monks (8 dmg & 2 dmg)

[SlagMortar]

Do we pursue or fall back? I'm out of spells and you guys look terrible, but we've got our wands.

OOC: Hopefully mental communication is quick enough to get an answer before Beamer loses his turn. If not, he delays for a bit while someone responds.

 

[Patlin]

Are any of those people over there good guys? I'm confused. Mano's bad, though, see if you can blast him before we go... but try not to get re-engaged.

 

[SlagMortar]

He's too far away, let's get out of here. I'm not sure they even know who are the good guys.

Beamer moves 20 toward the entrance. He readies an action to blast anyone threatening with a scorching ray.

 

[Patlin]

Banion will follow Beamer's lead, dropping back and readying an action to throw his mindblade at anyone who attempts to engage a member of the party.
