Chapter 4: The Golr'aar

[Throndir]

The dark elf pulls out his sword and sickle as he moves closer to the cultists, his blades flashing forth.

Unequip knives. Equip sword and sickle (free action). Move 1 square West.

[Throndir]

Putting her bow away, she draws her long sword and shield. Immediately she slashed towards the downed cultist and willed forth fire to attack.

Move action, putting bow away. Second move action, drawing long sword and shield (free action because Ardeth has +1 or higher BAB). Cast Lesser Fire Blade at Cultist 2

[blockquote]Ranged touch attack 1d20+3 : 15 + 3, total 18[/blockquote]

[Throndir]

Ardeth
You watched as your spell ended the life of one of the cultists.

The orc wardens keep making their way towards the group. They trudged on slowly but they managed to finally make it towards their downed cultist companion. Though, instead of helping the cultist and stopping the flow of blood, the two orc ignored him and continued on forward.

Seeing Arian get closer to them, one of the cultists focuses his attention on the dark elf.

Cultist 1 unequips knife. Equips short sword (free action). Attacks Arian.
Cultist 3 attacks Tebastion.
Orc warden 1 moves 4 squares north (20 ft).
Orc warden 2 moves 4 squares north (20 ft).

[Throndir]

Tebastion, Arian
The cultist's attack missed. His first strike proved to be a lucky one as the next one simply missed altogether.

The battle had finally begun to unfold in full. The monk uncoiled from his concealed position, and prepared to pounce upon his prey. Tebastion lured in the targets with ease, and for that Haru was grateful. Since he was of little use in a ranged conflict and preferred the continual flow of melee combat.

His wait had paid off and now was the time to strike. He flanked his opponents striking at the exposed side of his opponent. A solid closed knuckle punch to the kidneys followed by an open palm strike to the center of the back.

Haru moves 2 squares south.

Flurry of Blows [1d20+3] 17 = 17 + 3 = 20, Damage [1d6+5] 3 = 3 + 2 + 3 = 8 [1d20+3] 12 = 12 + 3 = 15 Damage [1d6+5] 4 = 4 + 2 + 3 = 9

[If caught by surprise opponent should be Flat-Footed]

[Throndir]

Haru. Since you moved in that round, and multiple attacks per round require a full round action, I'll only count the first attack as a regular one. However, if you'd like to stay put in that place and use a full round action to attack instead, I can change it as well. For now I'm just going with the former. Let me know as soon as you can!

Everyone else. I'll give it this whole day for people to post. But I'll be continuing the next round sometime tomorrow morning. So be sure to post.

Teb. Decided to get rid of the poison, since after updating your Fort saves, it turns out that you would have resisted it.

Haru
You skillfully creep up to the side of the enraged cultist, striking hard at the robed man. You caught him by surprise and the blow connected solidly, though it wasn't enough to bring down the seemingly frantic cultist.

Bloodspike (targetting both orc wardens)

[Throndir]

Revised Blood Spike a bit. It was too powerful when it took into account multiple targets. If you think there needs to be more revisions to it, feel free to say so.

[Throndir]

Viran
Seeing the two orc wardens make their way closer to the fray. You decide to cast another round of blood spike at them. You relished in the pain as the spikes drove deeply into their intended targets.

14 damage to Orc Wardens. 5 damage to self.

Currently doing some image processing, so I'm gonna make this quick XD

Uthaal puts away his sling and quickly draws his scimitar, stepping next to Teb in a defensive stance, preparing for an all-out attack.

With that movement, Din darts forward to further surround the nearby foe, striking out with a bite.

I believe defensive stance is +2 to all defenses?

And I can't seem to find Din'carak's stats, were they not recovered? I'd search more but I gotta work.

[Throndir]

[blockquote]Din'carak's attack 1d20+4 : 18 + 4, total 22[/blockquote]
[blockquote]if hit poison 1d4-1 : 4 - 1, total 3[/blockquote]

[Throndir]

It's actually Total Defense since you chose not to attack. It gives +4. Also nice one to Din.

Total Defense
You can defend yourself as a standard action. You get a +4 dodge
bonus to your AC for 1 round. Your AC improves at the start of this
action, so it helps you against any attacks of opportunity you incur
during the round. You can?t combine total defense with fighting
defensively or with the benefit of the Combat Expertise feat (since
both of those require you to declare an attack or full attack). You
can?t make attacks of opportunity while using total defense.

Fighting Defensively as a Standard Action: You can choose to
fight defensively when attacking. If you do so, you take a ?4 penalty
on all attacks in a round to gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC for the same
round. This bonus stacks with the AC bonus granted by the Combat
Expertise feat (page 92).

Uthaal
You stand beside Tebastion waiting for your next chance to strike. Your faithful companion Din'carak on the otherhand managed to strike successfully at the cultist. You see the cultist flinch from attack and you knew your companion's poison was at work.
