"Ow! That hurt, come now, we're friends, why would you want to hurt your friend?"
Cast Charm Person. DC=14 will save, Cha based.

Lily

The halfling girl, now mounted on her pony, rides forth toward the injured men who attacked her friends just moments ago. She realizes that even if Xaros is injured, her remaining healing spells would have very little effect other than to stem the bleeding. (ie, cure minor wounds sucks)


Double move 80' to the west. She checks to see if the men are breathing, but doesn't cast a spell this round. Oh, and while I was looking up rules for mounted combat, I noticed that Ponies are medium creatures, not large. FYI for future battles.

Kerin winces from the slight cut of the arrow, but waits to see the effect of the spell on the bowman before acting.

 

[Evilhalfling]

“Cause you’re loaded down with gold, and you have been shooting at me”
His arrow slips past Kerin and hits Xaros, leaving him staggered but still up.
His second bounces of Kerin’s armor.
Lilly the two men are both still bleeding

OOC : Kerin and Lily have actions left.
Bowman will save 13+5 ; Arrows @Xaros 23-4=19, 3 damage ; 2nd@Kerin 13
Xaros @ 0hp
Lilly you still have an standard action, at the end of the ride (as far as I can tell)
but you can't reach a body with out dismounting (or ride check for acrobatics in saddle)

 

[Dekana]

Just a standard action, or a move action too? Dismounting would probably be a move action at least, so I couldn't cast in the same round anyway... and I'm not trained in Ride, so I wouldn't want to risk it. Besides, Lily might be running back toward her friends next round if she realizes Xaros is in danger.

 

[Evilhalfling]

just a standard, since some of your 6 second round was used up in the riding. I find the Mounted combat rules unclear, but you have only 1 rnk in ride, (from default) so you don't get the benefit of the doubt.
You could also try a free action dismount (ride dc20) if the check fails it just converts to a move action instead. Not that this would help getting back

 

[Fenris]

If it were just Kerin, things might be different, but he couldn't let his companions suffer anymore, or risk getting killed. So Kerin charges forward and strikes at the man.

OOC: I never got the results from Kerin's detect evil earlier. If the man has an evil aura, keirn will strike normally, if he doesn't, Kerin will again attack with non-lethal damage.
Attack Longsword +6 1d8+2
Swift Attack:
Hoof +6 melee (1d6+4)

 

[Evilhalfling]

Kerin jumps the wall and swings at the Bowman only to miss, but Swift's hoof is more certain, and the Bowman crumples to the ground.

edit: The others may have had only the faint traces of evil, but Kerin feels little remorse for this archerer's end.

Edit:
OOC:
Kerin's Ride 5+6=11 Sword 9+6= 15 hoof 17+6=23 (damage 6)
see OOC thread new player.
Xaros - are you going to try getting your Second Wind ?

 

[WarShrike]

Oh sorry, forgot all about that second wind thing. Yes, i will try.

 

[Fenris]

Kerin shakes his head at the still form lying on the ground, disappointed it had to come to that. He gives Swift a thankful pat on the neck and trots back to pick up his lance.

"How many will make it Lily?" he calls out as he approaches.
