The bandits in the bushes are the first to act. The two closest to the party get up and run over towards the adventurers closest to them. As the bandit in front of Barthas swings, he catches a glimpse of his face and loses his resolve. The resulting blow is easily deflected with no harm to the Tiefling. "Gotcha, knight!" shouts the bandit in front of Clank. He feints an overhead attack and attacks from a different angle at the last second. The blow puts a small dent in the Dwarf-Forged's armor and makes a hollow ringing sound. "You're no man. The hell are you!?" asks the attacker.

The other bandits aren't close enough to get their blades wet, making it lucky that they brought their shortbows with them as well. Their running has made them a bit shaky, though, and the shots against Farkas and Talfryn go high and wide. Yancey doesn't manage to see the arrow flying at him before it embeds itself into his shoulder. The halfling yelps in pain as the twisted arrowhead drives itself deep into his joint.

Oats · January 2014

Ouch. A crit.

Grunt's Ghosts · January 2014

Farkas runs up to the first bandit that tried to attack Barthas. "Why do bandits believe that their stupid tricks will work? Old Man alone in the woods? I've seen children pull better con jobs than that!" With a quick leap, the rogue brings his dagger down deep into the neck of his target. It barely misses anything vital, but the red river flowing from him is a sure sign he won't be lasting long.

to Hit:

Erin The Red · January 2014

Farkas manages to wound the first Bandit gravely. The human looks down at the bubbling river emanating from his collarbone, tries to speak, and flops over backwards. In the process, his hand crossbow manages to go off and shoots one of his allies right between the eyes.

Mooks have a collective health pool. The 5 have 25 hp total. Since you did more than 10 damage, you killed two of them!

Either undeterred by the loss of his comrades or simply not caring, the 'old man' says "The ruse doesn't have to hold for long, you fool! Just long enough to get you withing STABBING DISTANCE!"

He charges around Barthas' defenses and heads towards the Halfling with the big mouth. The masked figure swings wildly, a crazed look in his eyes. His sword form is horrible and Farkas is able to read his swings pretty well. One blow gets too close for comfort, however. Most of it is dodged but it connects just enough with the meat of Farkas' leg to let the Halfling know he's serious.

"Farkas, good sir, I don't think this is even a con, I think the bandits are just really, really bad at picking a leader."

Grunt's Ghosts · January 2014

"You fight like an old man. Maybe you should just die and let your Lich King bring you back as a corpse. I'd bet you'll fight better."

Erin The Red · January 2014

I don't think notifications come up in edited posts, so I will post @Kilroy to let him know he's up! Keep up the smack talk

Erin The Red · January 2014

Fixed that. My apologies! I was even missing people for initiative in my Saturday Roll20 game. Not my day for details!

And that's totally fine Kilroy. Don't want you to feel rushed. Hope you feel better!

Kilroy · January 2014

Talfryn rips the Orcslayer from its sheath and maneuvers around Barthas to engage with the not-so-old not-so-man. The lich servant manages to interpose his own sword between Talfryn and his head, but the force of the blow sends shock-waves up his arms.

The two more burly thugs come striding up confidently.
"Lot of big talk coming from a group where half o' ye are barely up to my hip!" says one. The other uses actions instead of words to drive the point home. He brings his heavy mace crashing down onto Barthas' shoulder. The wound isn't grievous, but the armor is slightly dented and Barthas' joint throbs in pain.

"Aggression towards this group not tolerated. Your withdrawal is advised."

Clank taps into the energies that bind his clockwork physiology, attempting to make a sympathetic association between the southernmost aggressor and the joint in his left knee that sticks when he walks. While the minor buildup of heat is of no consequence to Clank's metal frame, Clank estimates severe discomfort in organic tissue.

Then Clank hits the aggressor with the maul, just in case its assumptions are incorrect.

Erin The Red · January 2014

@BSS Is up now, methinks?
Map is current, but Jdark has shifted down a space

bss · January 2014

Administrivia first! I forgot that from my Justice domain, I give an attack-reroll blessing that I can give to someone when myself or a nearby ally is critted or dropped to 0 hp. Yancey got critted so I'll give the blessing to Yancey. @Auralynx --- you can use this blessing to reroll an attack as a free action this battle. I can dispense them often, but an ally can only have one at a time. Use it at your leisure!

Wincing slightly from the blow he took, Barthas says a small prayer under his breath to keep the tide in his allies' favor. "May even our wild attacks strike those that deny Justice!"

Quick action: invocation of Justice --- Everyone, this battle, add double my level (so 2) to the miss damage of your attacks, as long as you are nearby me (and are my ally).

I'm in a bit of a pickle so I'd rather see if I can break free.

Geth roll 1d20-1 for Disengage

Move action: disengage attempt

DisengageMove action: disengage attempt:

1d20-1 2 [1d20=3]

bss · January 2014

I will never figure out what breaks Geth's syntax, but okay, plan B.

Barthas would normally be blasting these fools, but he also prefers not to be stuck like this. He'll play it safe, attempt to clobber the thug, and get a quip in while he can. "Your foul alliance dooms you!" ... It'll do.

Standard action: melee attack with my mace.

Geth roll 1d20+3 vs. Thug 1's AC

The miss is still good for 3 damage thanks to my invocation of justice, which also applies to myself. Done, I think!

vs. Thug 1's AC:

1d20+3 8 [1d20=5]

bss · January 2014

Whoops --- I highlighted Oats for Yancey's reroll blessing, but it should have been for @Auralynx, who is also up now, I think.

Everyone, feel free to shout out if you think you need heals more than I think you need heals.

Also, opinions on a way to get everyone's attention out of character? The effect of my invocation is kind of lost in the grey.

Erin The Red · January 2014

feel free to green and/or bold it! I will also add it to the stat blocks next time I make a baddie post

Auralynx · January 2014

Yancey blinks and glances down at the arrow in his shoulder and frowns.

"Hey, you shot me?

You shot me!

Why'd you have to go and do that?"

With a weird, deep rumble a fountain of lightning pours out of Yancey's hands in the rough shape of a sword. The halfling spins, sweeping it in the direction of the nearby thug, who it connects with with a sizzling bang.

Free action for Lightning Blade, Quick action for Resounding Thunder, standard action to hit Thug 2 with it in melee. Damage forthcoming.

Geth roll 1d20+5 for Resounding Thunder on Thug 2

Resounding Thunder:

1d20+5 18 [1d20=13]

Auralynx · January 2014

Yancey's half-wild swing connects and the halfling laughs like a child on a roller-coaster, hair standing on end. The weird rumbling continues, finally bursting in a surprisingly solid aftershock against that same thug.

So that's 4 damage to Thug 2, then Wis mod (4) damage to a random nearby guy. 4th guy, counting clockwise, is also Thug 2! Convenient! Almost like I add a stat to melee damage. :P

Geth roll 1d10 for zap damage.
Geth roll 1d6 for Wis mod to X, counting clockwise.

1d10 4 [1d10=4]

Oats · January 2014

"You poor, stupid, poor buggers."

Proof quickly downs a big swig from one of his bottles, and sprays out a fine mist. Frost covers the ground under the spray, as Proof spits out a Breath of Chilled Ale.*

In case it wasn't factored in, the 2 additional miss damage from Barthas' invocation of Justice applies to all attacks, including Proof's breath weapon miss on the old guy.

Erin The Red · January 2014

I did not factor it in there. Good looking out!

Grunt's Ghosts · January 2014

Question, how far can I move?

Erin The Red · January 2014

there's no exact number. Usually like 5-7 squares is a good estimate

@Grunt's Ghosts Geth hungers

Grunt's Ghosts · January 2014

I know, I know. Ill post when I get home.

Grunt's Ghosts · January 2014

My computer is fucking up and I cant get to my rpg books atm. I was going to disengage from the old man and tried to move behind him.

Erin The Red · January 2014

To disengage from an enemy is an easy check (dc10) with no modifiers, unless you have some sort of bonus to disengage checks.
Were you just trying to move, or did you want to attack or something else as well?

Grunt's Ghosts · January 2014

Yeah, I was going to try to attack, most likely another basic since I cant get sneak attack bonus.
