    Tzeentchling, H3 is 10' higher than your position on top of a roof. I don't think cfob reaches that far, but if I'm wrong, let me know.

    I considered rolling diplomacy to be part of the turn, sorry PepiPopa. So Rubjo and you rolled diplomacy to try and avoid the battle, and then Dakketh then just went for it.

    The guards watch as Dakketh moves faster than they can follow, striking one guard then deflecting the guards counterattack with such precision that he takes out a fellow guard instead! With a shout they leap into battle, halberds swinging, knocking you down and drawing blood. A few guards decide to stay back and instead pull crossbows to attack from the rooftops or from a distance. The mage steps up and releases a lightning blast that dazzles your eyes, though Odunn and Rubjo are too close to the blast and get a jolt of electricity flowing through them as well.

    Actions:
    HG1: HIT Rubjo (10 dmg) - prone
    HG2: Shift E1 - MISS Dakketh
    HG3: Move C5 - MISS 51ckle
    HG4: Move F6 - HIT Canderus (10 dmg) - prone
    H1: MISS Canderus
    H3: HIT Dakketh (9 dmg)
    H4: MISS 51ckle
    H5: HIT Odunn (8 dmg)
    H6: HIT 51ckle (6 dmg)
    M: Burst 1 F3
    HIT Odunn (9 dmg) - dazed (save ends)
    HIT Rubjo (9 dmg) - dazed (save ends)
    MISS Canderus

    Rubjo
    Dakketh
    51ckle

    Map:
    Day2Encounter2StreetTA1.jpg

    There are two rooftops in this map, you can climb up to them from the vendors or up the sides using windows. DC15 to climb the vendor cart to the top, DC20 to climb the wall. The rooftops are difficult terrain and are considered 10' high.

    The front of the vendors are difficult terrain, but not the back area. The fountain is also considered difficult terrain. People are currently here, and you can use them to as full cover, but they will scatter if threatened. Moving through a crowd is difficult terrain.

    You are right, it doesn't. I didn't see that he was on the roof. Apply CFoB to HG2, then - he takes 6 more damage.

    Maybe make the dotted lines into solid lines for elevation changes between squares. You can go even further by changing its color for elevation changes that require climb/jump checks.

    Standing up from the guard's attack, Canderus begins to shake with rage. His senses finding an already injured guard, he brings his greataxe around and charges the man, carving a deep gash in his side.
    Move: Stand up.
    Standard: Charge with Howling Strike vs HG2:
    1d20+10 29 vs AC - hit! One away from a crit, too.
    Damage: 1d12+1d6+6 13. HG2 at 21 and bloodied.

    Seeing the bolt of lightning streak out, Dakketh sees a need to tie up their artillery. With a quick run and jump, he sends himself over to the roof and strikes the mage, almost as an afterthought knocking another guard off the roof and to his doom.
    Move: Crane's Wings jump:
    1d20+13 22. Jump 4 squares to G6.
    Standard: Crane's Wings vs Mage:
    1d20+7 21 vs Fort - hit! Mage takes 1d10+5 7 damage.

    "I was given orders guards. And these orders are greater then your authority." With that 51ckle charges at one of the bigger guards.

    Standard action - Charge using Warden's Lunge at HG1 in H3. I am now at G3.
    Warden's Lunge - 1d20+8: 14 MISS!
    Minor action - Mark all around me HG1 and H1

    Action Point.
    " Unacceptable result." 51ckle hits his hammer to his shield and thunder envelopes the hammer.
    Standard action - Attack on HG1 using Thunder Ram Assault
    Thunder Ram Assault - 1d20+8: 11 MISS !
    Secondary attack vsH1 - 1d20+8: 15 [1d20=7] MISS !
    Secondary attack vs HG1 - 1d20+8: 10 [1d20=2] MISS !
    51ckle swings at the guard as thunder flashes all around both. But the hammer does not find its target. And a second later the thunder diminishes and then is gone.
    Well... at least they are marked.. I guess... I am going to go cry now.

    The guards notice that your blows have not been connecting and begin to coordinate their attacks as if they are simply extensions of a single unit. 51ckle gets slammed by one halberd after another, as does Canderus and Rubjo. Dakketh feels the sting of two crossbow bolts, first in the arm, then the shoulder. Then as he whirls around from the bolts one of the guards climbs up the vendor cart and catches his leg with his halberd as the mage backs away before firing off a magic missile that hits him square in the chest. Dakketh doubles over before dropping to the rooftop unconscious.

    Actions:
    H1 - Hit 51ckle - 8 dmg
    H3 - Hit Canderus - 10 dmg
    H4 - Hit Dakketh - 3 dmg

    Canderus sees his companions beginning to falter, and the sight combined with the smell of blood is enough to send the barbarian into a rage. Nostrils flaring, he kicks out at the guard in front of him, knocking him off balance, then splits him head to toe with an overhead blow from his greataxe. He turns around and strikes at the guard behind him, dealing a ringing blow to his head, then takes off in a charge, invigorated by bloodlust and heedless of blows in retaliation. His strike grievously injures another guard, and he ends up next to the construct known as 51ckle, panting, breathing heavily, nostrils flaring. Shifting his axe to one hand, he draws a potion from his belt and quickly downs it, rejuvenating his strength.
    Standard: Thunder Hooves Rage vs HG3:
    1d20+9 24 vs AC - hit! 3d12+6 21 damage to HG3.

    Action point!

    Avalanche Strike vs HG3:
    1d20+9 23 -hit! 3d12+10 25 damage to HG3. HG3 at 1 HP, dammit!.

    Swift Charge charge attack:

    Howling Strike vs HG1:
    1d20+9 27 -hit! HG1 takes 1d12+1d6+6 16 damage.

    Minor: Draw potion of healing.
    Minor: Use potion of healing. Spend a surge, gain 10 HP. Canderus at 29/39, possibly minus an OA hit.

    HG3 - dead.
    HG1 - 31 HP
    Canderus at 29/39, Thunder Hooves Rage, OA from HG2, +4 to be attacked this round.

    Minotaur wrecking ball, indeed!

    Edit: My third roll says that his MBA was against HG2. I thought I did 47 damage to HG3 with the first two attacks, but did only 46, so I had to use the Bravado attack to kill HG3 instead to trigger the charge attack.

    1. Would he be able to see Dakketh in order to cast heals?
    2. Would Rubjo be aware of Dakketh going down in his dazed\prone state? If he screamed like a goblin woman when he went down that would be helpful (identical to screaming like a goblin male, actually).

    3. Can i use action points while dazed?

    I'm also going to wait for the OA before I proceed.

    Rubjo laid on his back in the middle of the town square, still dizzy and reeling from the human guard's attack. He was bleeding profusely from the weapon attacks, blood was forming into a puddle. Rubjo could barely tell what was happening, the only thing he was able to see, because he was looking mostly upwards was the punch kick guy collapsing in a heap. Rubjo thought to himself:

    That was the guy who rode the dragon. This is bad.

    Still unable to move at full capacity, and certainly too dizzy to stand up, Rubjo sang a goblin warsong, hoping it would help close up Dakketh's wounds. Then Rubjo started to cough up blood.
