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

[Bront]

Right. The pit was raised just before the group was attacked. Can deflect arrows be used against Banion's mindblade? I hadn't thought of that.

Eusebius brings Boog up to 0 hps.

OOC: Unfortunately. It doesn't differentiate with weapons, and I don't see why it couldn't be deflected. I believe Acid Arrow can be deflected as well.

 

[Patlin]

ooc: Yeah, that's why I've avoided the monks as target and even engaged them in melee. Then again, they may have selected combat reflexes instead of deflect arrows for their 2nd level bonus feat... this'll be the round I test that. What's the range?

As to Acid Arrow, the feat says "ranged attacks generated by spell effects can’t be deflected."

 

[Bront]

OOC: I thought Acid Arrow was an excpetion because it's conjuration? No matter, I guess that's nitpicking at that point, so you're probably right

 

[Manzanita]

Beamer and Banion prepare to attack or defend. Eusebius brings Boog to consciousness. Banion hurls his mindblade after the final fleeing monk cultist, and pegs him in the back. The monk dies.

The two falchion-weilding cultists are fighting the two farmhands about 50 feet south of the party. Mano has disapeared past them pursuing the orc.

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

 

[Patlin]

For Banion's next action, he will cross the pit (move 20' south) and form a new mindblade.

 

[Boddynock]

"Boog, you're all right. It's me, Eusebius."

"That was close, my friend. Now hold still. You need more healing."

 

[Bront]

Juliana moves towards the cultists to help out the farm hands. OOC: Not sure if she can get an attack in. If she can, roll it.

 

[Manzanita]

Juliana double moves forward, but is still quite a ways from the combat.

Round 12
The farmhands and yellow-bandana-ed cultists exchange blows again. The wounded cultist is hit again, but doesn't drop. The other cultist drops a farmhand. Only one remains standing.

EDIT: Eusebius should actually be standing next to Boog in the map.

[Boddynock]

"Right now, let's get you healed up again, so that you can go and wreak some vengeance on those who did this to you!"

Eusebius smiles grimly as he wields his wand once more. Then he helps Boog up.

OOC: Wand of CLW, 37 charges remaining.

 

[Bront]

Juliana will run at 3x speed to try to catch up.
