X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - IC

ooc: Look at the map. A charge would indeed be possible, but you would be attacking regular horsemen, not the leader. You could end up where the '8' is on the map if you attack the horseman there.

Bevin Rockhammer Dwarf Rogue2/Enchanter6, AC20 FF17 T15, HP44/44, F+4,R+6,W+5

Bevin continues on with casting Tasha's on the leader as soon as he is able. Bevin thinks, "I really hope that their morale breaks if their leader falls! Otherwise, we may have egg on our faces."
 

Girgal, AC 29 (T8, FF29), HP 59/59, F +14,R+3,W+13

Both Mace-Tail Girgal and Ripclaw charge raiders, unleashing animal fury on them. While Girgal hits one with his tale, Ripclaw pounces in another.

[sblock=ooc]

Tail Slap (1d20+10=21, 2d4+7=13)

Can you roll/wing Ripclaw for me?
I don't want to roll like 5 attacks on IC against one minion.
(I can do it if you like, but you would know after the first attack if you have to do further rolls.)

Str: 21

The two dinosaurs charge towards the embattled horsemen, and the men are as scared as their horses. The horsemen resort to an old mounted warrior's trick, swinging over to take cover on the other side of their mounts.

Girgal's tail swings high enough that it catches the rider regardless, pulverizing the man unconscious and near dead.

Ripclaw's claw strikes his target's horse, however, which neighs in panic but does not fall.

[sblock=ooc]You can't make multiple attacks on a charge.

The men used the Ride skill (DC 15) to take cover behind their horses (+4 AC). If an attack would have hit the cover, it is made against the mount instead.[/sblock]

The leader of the horsemen shouts "Kill them!" and guides his horse after Aram, as he swings down his bloody axe. He misses the dervish, swings again, misses again.

Some of his men back their mounts away from the dinosaurs, but even so they attempt to comply with their leader's order. Most of the ones nearby attempt to arc their arrows at Aram, while the more distant ones aim for the wounded dinosaur, Girgal. One arrow strikes Aram, while two strike Girgal.

(ooc: Aram hp 25/56, Girgal hp 26/59)

Bevin directs his camel forward, and is now just in back of Girgal. He struggles to concentrate on his spell with his mount's jostling, but he manages to cast it at the horsemens' leader. However, the man resists the enchantment.

ooc: still to act: Aram, Girgal, Nargon, Rajah

[sblock=ooc]Ripclaw can -> Leaping Pounce![/sblock]
 

Nargon twirls his chain in ominous circles as he swoops in over the heads of the horsemen, flinging the massive line of metal out at the leader as he passes overhead.

[sblock=ooc]
CHARGE! I'm 3 'squares' away, which is 60'. fly speed 40 means I can charge 80 feet.
Power Attack full(-6/+12).
Charging Power Attack (1d20+11=16, 2d4+23=25)
wow.. that's some crappy rolling. A 5 on the d20 to hit and min damage. :( Does AC 16 hit? if so, 25 damage.
Nargon is 10' above them, having used the reach on his chain to attack.
[/sblock]
 

Aram grits his teeth against the pain of his wounds and engages the leader, hoping that if the archers continue their fire, they will strike him instead. Still, Aram remains on the defensive, hoping to deflect any incoming attacks with his own blades.

AC 29 / 33 vrs ranged (cover), HP: 25/56
Combat Expertise, 4 points
Full Attack: +6/+1 Scimitar +1 (1d6+3, 18-20/x2) AND +6 Scimitar +1 (1d6+3, 18-20/x2)
 

Ripclaw's first attack may have struck the horse, but his pounce allowed him to bring his other claw into play, striking down the horseman.

Nargon's chain bounces off the enemy leader's chain shirt, just narrowly missing an opening in his defenses. (ooc: AC 17)

Aram's whirling scimitars miss his target as well because he is fighting more cautiously and defensively than usual.

ooc: Still to act are Girgal and Rajah

Girgal, AC 29 (T8, FF29), HP 26/59, F +14,R+3,W+13

Both Mace-Tail Girgal and Ripclaw move through the dead camels, trample them as they move. Their target is the enemy leader. Girgal tries to find a good place to unleash his blast of sand.

[sblock=ooc] Spell rules:
http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpos...1&postcount=40

Cast blast of sand via natural spell. Reflex DC 19 for half damage.

If it would only hit 3 or fewer riders or have to include Aram into the aerea, attack with tail instead.http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1660886/

Can you roll/wing Ripclaw for me?
I don't want to roll like 5 attacks on IC against one minion.
(I can do it if you like, but you would know after the first attack if you have to do further rolls.)
(But tell me if Ripclaw is able to pounce the leader! :))

Str: 21
Dex: 6
Con: 21

Natural armor +17

speed: 30ft

Reach 10ft
trample
tail: 2d4+7 damage[/sblock]
 

Seeing that the others have the leader well in hand, Rajah turns his attentions to the mass of enemies still threatening them.

Noting the effectiveness of his previous spell, Rajah casts it again and more rubbery tentacles burst from the sand to grapple rider and mount alike.

[sblock=OOC]
Cast Black Tentacles on the NE enemies, catching as many as he can. Grapple Bonus = 16, Damage is 1d6+4

Apparently I was drunk... or something when Rajah said he was immune, I thought he was level 9 (and therefore above the 2d4 HD effect)...

HP: 61/61
AC: 20, T: 12, FF:18
F/R/W: +6/+6/+8
Spells Remaining:
1 - 7
2 - 5
3 - 4
4 - 1
