OOC: can I get a description or map of positions?

[b]Initiative Count:[/b]
Jasper        21
Luthiel       18
Weasel        17
Garrit        15
Weasels (5)   14 and lower

OOC: I forgot to write about Luthiel's AoO. Sorry, I'll add it in.

OOC: Another question- am I considered in a grapple right now, or do I just have to make a grapple check to get them off me? And if it's the second case, can I use Escape Artist as I could in a regular grapple?

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

OOC: You have to successfully pin the weasel in a grapple. Mechanics wise, you aren't grappling yet, so you'd have to make a melee touch attack to start a grapple (which would provoke an attack of opportunity from the weasel you grapple) and then pin it (an opposed grapple check). Of course, there's always the alternative of stabbing the thing with your rapier instead. Garrit or Jasper can also grapple a weasel off of you, if they so desire, and actually, it's a lot easier for them to do, since their initial melee touch attack automatically succeeds and they do not provoke an attack of opportunity with the weasel they grapple.

OOC: Actually, in Jasper's case, it'd be a lot easier to magic missile one off me

Edit: Assuming he knows magic missile, that is (I hope)

 

[Tassadar]

After loading his crossbow, Jasper begins his panic. With two weasels in front of him, latched onto one another, Jasper stumbles back about five feet. Then, while collecting his cool, Jasper takes close aim at the one that was ripped off of Luthiel's leg. Knowing that he's probably going back for another bite, Jasper lets lose the crossbow bolt, hoping to put it down.

Luthiel Faradar Elven Rogue1

Luthiel takes a stab at one of the weaels currently biting his ankles, aiming at the one in I-8. As he does, he screams "AAARGH! Get it off! Get it off!"

[sblock]Attack +1 Dam d6+1, not sure if I take penalties to hit[/sblock]

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Jasper's bolt shoots directly into the two spitting mad weasels and spears one into the earth. It lays very still. The other weasel, still in a rabid fury, continues ripping at its fellow rodent.

Luthiel manages to stab at one of the weasels hanging onto his leg. It immediately lets go as the metal of the rapier enters its tiny body, letting out a squeal. Then it collapses, lifeless. The other weasel hangs on for dear life, its teeth cutting deeper into Luthiel's leg. The frozen weasel that Jasper hit with his ray of frost limps towards the elf and gives a half hearted bite. Despite the other weasel still attached to his leg, Luthiel dodges easily. The dazed, frozen weasel's eyes roll in its head as it recovers from its haphazard attack.

OOC: 3 weasels down, one distracted, 1 more damage to Luthiel (3/7 HP).

Garrit's turn.

 

[Animus]

<<Garrit will attack the weasel to the west of him. If he kills it, he will then take a 5 foot step west to threaten the other one.>>

Garrit, seeing his companion Luthiel get hurt, shouts, "For the Sun God!" and attacks the weasel next to him in an attempt to free himself up to help Luthiel.

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Using his great strength, Garrit slashes with his longsword and cleaves the crazed weasel in half. He steps forward to engage another foe.

Meanwhile, one weasel decides that Jasper might be a better target. It dashes by Luthiel but doesn't get far before the elf's rapier pierces its little body, laying it low.

OOC: Luthiel's AoO was already represented in the picture, as was the dead weasel. 2 are left.
