    Give me a d20 roll to see if you can disengage and we can go from there?
    Based on sneak attack rules in 13th age, though, the enemy only needs to be engaged with one or more of your allies. So you would get the +1d4 against the old man if you hit with an attack.

    You can break free and provoke an attack of opportunity, or stab at him from where you are

    I think I should probably have taken the elemental weapon feat first, thinking about it some more, as I doubt anything is going to try that hard to disengage from me yet.

    Sorry about the wait. Computer died and I lost all my digital books, including 13th Age.

    The nimble rogue tries to back away from the Old Man, but there seems to be more to him as the Man follows. "Got a thing for me? Im flattered but Im not easy." Farkas does a quick spin, trying to get inside the Old Man's defenses.

    I forgot to tell you guys that since the second round has started, the escalation die is at 1 now. So your 17 is an 18, which just hits! 9 damage to that fool!

    @Auralynx , next time you guys get an incremental advance you can adjust your class features or feats or whatever.

    Will try to put up a post soon. Things hectic. Sorry!

    Farkas' spin catches the leader off guard just long enough for his blade to slice across the bastard's gut with a wet slicing sound. The man drops to one knee and moans in agony. After a few breaths he manages to collect himself and rise shakily to his feet. "Sorry, lad. I don't swing that way," he says with an unhappy grin. "I do swing THIS way, though!" he says shortly before bringing his own sword around to connect with Farkas' midsection. The wound isn't fatal but it is by no means pleasant.

    Talfryn, angered by his failure to break the old man's defenses, and by seeing his companions injured, flies into the fury for which he was named. "You ignore me at your own risk, deceiver!" he shouts as he brings his sword crashing down once again.

    "Deceiver? Its kinda your fault for being so gullible in the first place. Old Man on a road leading towards a prison. That should have raised a few flags. Luckly, I saw through the ruse quickly."

    The old man shouts in pain as the Elf's blade cuts him deeply. Copious amounts of blood are streaming from his various wounds. "You... you'll regret that."

    Elsewhere on the battlefield, the two burlier thugs are trying their luck to see if they can do some damage. "Would you lot just shut up and die, already? Lich King's not payin' us for chit chat." The firs thug's mace crashes heavily into Barthas, roughly knocking the wind out of him. He doubles over momentarily trying to get air into his aching lungs. The other thug's not as lucky. As he tries to take a swing at Yancey, his own arm bursts into flame and he diverts his attentions to putting it out. So far, he hasn't had any luck getting the flames to dissipate any.

    Hit on Barthas, Miss on Yancey.
    Thug1 does his normal 4 damage, +3 more from the Dark Hero's boost.

    Success! Barthas darts behind Talfryn and prepares to cast some spells.

    Killroy don't feel the need to defend me long-term, but if anyone does try to come up and attack me, you can move to intercept if you'd like.

    The first spell is a quick prayer to the Lifemaiden (Casting Heal, quick action). Small angelic sprites flit into existence, healing Barthas before dissipating into the air. Rejuvenated, he turns his attention to the bandits assailing Clank. Wispy soldiers, armed with sword and shield, fly from Barthas and silently rush towards the bandits, stoic looks on their faces (Casting Spirits of the Righteous, standard action).


    Geth roll 1d8+2 for Heal, using my own recovery
    Geth roll 1d20+5 for Spirits of the Righteous vs. bandits' MD
    Geth roll 4d6+4 for holy damage vs. the bandits if I hit


    "AUGH!"

    Despite the poor showing of the spirits' attack, my nearby ally with the fewest hit points (Farkas) gains a +2 bonus to AC until the end of my next turn, as they move to protect him. Whoops, I missed that I fumbled, so the attack has no effect.

    Done!

    Heal, using my own recovery:

    Yancey whales away at Thug 2, connecting with the lightning fountain once more in a glancing blow. The following crack of thunder lays Thug 2 low.

    If Proof killed Thug 1, there is no #6, clockwise. See below for the again-lucky reroll; between the 4 Wis mod off that, the 2 from me, and the 3 from the ongoing effect, I think Thug 2 is also down.

    Over the course of the past few seconds, flurries of blows and magical energies come from the mighty heroes and fell many of the stronger foes. The few remaining bandits take a swing at clank and then turn tail to run away, consequences be damned. On second thought, though, those swings were a bit wild and the robot looks more than a little bit angry. We should stay here and see this through.
    "Augh! Why won't you lot DIE?" says the second bandit. He was the only one lucky enough to actually score a hit!

    Even with their leader dead, the Thug kept fighting. Must be something important for these fool to keep dying for. Farkas moves to get close to one of the mooks with alive. Too busy beating the walking armor to notice me.

    It was a simple. Stab in the side the first bandit, spin around to catch the second one's temple, until the last bandit remained, who looked surprised by his friends' sudden demise. "Can't have you leaving and warning your other friends, now." Farkas suddenly leaped up and pounced onto the back of the fleeing man. A quick slash and the bandit moved no more.

    "AND THAT'S WHY THERE WILL BE NO MORE TALKING TO STRANGERS ON THIS TRIP!" Farkas yells at the group. "We are going to meet three kinds of people on this road. People escaping prison, people breaking friend's out of prison, and people who will think we are one of those two. Are we clear, boulder breath?"

    The party has some time now to tend to their wounds/dents/whatnot.

    I'm at 18/21, so I'm good on recoveries.

    Actually, I still had a cast of Heal left for the encounter, so if TheRoadVirus doesn't mind, maybe I could cast it on Clank or Farkas now? They'd get a 2 extra HP.


    Barthas helps everyone with their wounds, checking bandages and applying salves and the like. Nothing magical recovery-y, just making sure the group's in good order. While doing this, he opines on the attackers. "Well, whichever they were, it does seem like the crazy old man was the brains of the operation, so we should be sure to check him out."

    Proof feels sick, and he is oddly quiet. He wanders around a nearby tree and vomits loudly.

    "They were just men. Not demons or their spawn. Oh I think I need a moment here boys."

    Yancey seems nonplussed by Farkas' outburst but oddly unmoved by the fight itself.

    "Wow, you seem mad, guy. You should probably relax. I have this tea that will totally help with that."

    Yancey rummages in his baggage for some tea.

    On the old man you find, obviously, the creepy skin mask, as well as a note.

    There is a group of initiates trying yo prove themselves to the dragon empire by protecting the island. Murder them. Take their orders. Take their place. Help us take the island. Tell your assistants that their families will be returned safely when all is finished.

    There is no signature.

    Aside from that you find some crude iron utensils, some twists of paper with spices in them, a few pewter mugs, mundane weapons, and three trail rations.

    That's fine, BSS

    Upon learning the bulk of the ambush were not objectively bad men, Proof vomits again.
