Subject Round 2
OK I have heard from everyone but Derrell so I will try and do a turn at lunch, or no later than tonight.
From: Mark
Subject Round 2
Initiative(Stranger5, Ran, Bel, Stranger1, Stranger3, Harp, Kal, Stranger 2, Stranger4, Rochelle, Surin, Salix, Cai, Fal)
The stranger fighting Cai (Stanger5) again snaps a fist at her head but is distracted by all the activity around him. He misses by a wide margin. (AC16, 3+6=9, miss)
Ran realizes that he is almost surrounded. Hoping that Cai will be able to take care of herself, he turns his attention to the stranger in chain (Stranger1). He makes a cut at the man's chest (AC19, 12+7=19, hit) and is able to slip his longsword by the man's guard. The chain shirt turns most of the blade. (Damage 5).
Bel tries to back peddle a bit (5 foot step) in an effort to give him a little room in which to get a shot off at the man in plate in front of him. However his way is blocked by the tree behind him. He raises his bow to take a shot and the man swings his sword as Bel takes aim. (AOO using a ranged weapon in a threatened square) The sword slices across Bel's belly. (AC18, 17+6=23, hit, damage 6) His elfin chain stops most of the damage, but Bel winces at the pain.
Bel now takes his shots at point blank range. (AC21, 15+7=22, 5+7=12, hit, miss, Damage 8) Bel's first arrow finds a spot between two armored plates and sinks in to the feathers. The second arrow bounces off the chest plate and shatters.
Stanger1 twirls his two weapons in a blurring circle. Ran finds himself having a bit of trouble keeping his eye on the weapons as well as the two other foes around him. Ran makes a quick glance behind him and the Stranger makes his move. He jabs with his trident and when Ran moves his shield to try and intercept he slashes with the sickle. (AC20, 19+10=29, 12+10=22, hit, hit, Damage 6+9=15) Ran is able to catch the trident on his shield and his arm is stunned by the force of the blow. He is caught off guard by the slash of the sickle and it opens a nasty cut along his forearm, the curved blade reaching over the top of the shield.
Stranger3 again makes the gestures and says the words that can not be remembered when they are heard and another bolt of energy leaps from his finger tips and slams into Fal's chest. (Damage 4)
Harp watches as Ran deflects Kendrick's trident but is cut by the sickle. Ran has commanded him to protect Rochelle but Ran is surrounded by three enemies. He can not let Ran be killed. What would the Captain say? Dropping his crossbow, he pushes his way between Kal and Fal. ?Fal, drop back and help protect Rochelle, Kal help Bel. I?ll help Ran.? As he moves he draws his longsword. As he passes Salix he whispers to him ?If Obad-Hai really wants to help, he could send a hippogriff or something to surprise that mage.? Harp tries to get into a flanking position on Kendrick but realizes that he can not get into position in time to get an attack on Kendrick. Deciding that it is better to get in any attack, Harp moves in front of Salix and swings his sword at Kendrick's side.(AC19, 16+10=26, hit, damage 10) Harp's sword slices across the chain armor and several of the links part from the power of the swing, the flesh beneath separating.
Kal responds to heat of battle and Harp's command voice almost with out thinking about it. He takes a quick step to the left and forward to get a better shot at the man attacking Bel (5 foot step). He then chants the words he learned and focuses on his rapier, the power channeling through the enchanted weapon. (Spell failure check, 86, success) Kal feels an odd sensation as the fire leaps from his rapier. There is something opposing his will. (Magic Resistance DC7, 9+2=11, success) He clamps down and the force penetrates the resistance and the fire engulfs the man in plate. (AC11, 16+4=20, hit, damage 12)
Stranger2, flames still flickering on his armor, takes a step away from Bel, reaches to his belt and pulls up a small vial to his mouth. He pulls the stopper with his teeth and swallows the contents. The burns on his face scab over and heal as Bel and Kal watch.
Stranger4 swings his morning star at Ran, but the ? elf is able to dodge the clumsy blow easily. (AC20, 2+5=7, miss)
Rochelle moves herself further behind the tree, while Surin continues his slow, stealthy movement towards the magic user in the back.
Salix sees that all of the enemies are occupied except for the magic user in the back. ?Let's see what kind of company we can find for him? Salix thinks to himself. Touching the symbol on his armor, he starts to chant the prayer that will summon an ally of nature itself. (Full round action, creature will appear next round)
Cai decides to call on help from nature. She takes a step back towards Salix, drawing her sword as she does. She also pulls out her symbol of nature and starts to chant the summoning prayer as well. (Full round action, creature will appear next round)
Fal, his chest still hurting from the bolt of force that has just hit him, stumbles back towards where Rochelle is hiding.
OODM: Next round, assuming nothing interrupts their casting, Salix and Cai will both summons creatures just before their action, so they will be able to do something on their action. However, it the spells are disrupted then the creatures will not show up.
Actions for round 3. Map will follow tonight.
From: Randy
Subject Round 3
Ran will continue to focus his attacks and concentration on the man with the trident and sickle. He will ignore the man with the morningstar for this round, hoping not to take another blow from the sickle.
From: Josh
Subject Round 3
Is there anyone else near Rochelle besides Kal?
From: Mark
Subject Round 3
Who do you want to apply your dodge point to.
From: Mark
Subject Round 3
Actually Kal is not all that near Rochelle. Fal is near her.
From: Josh
Subject Round 3
I thought Harp and Kal were standing near her in the first round?
Either way, if Fal is near her, Kal'll step forward and attack #5, the same guy he fried with the scorching ray.
From: Mark
Subject Round 3
Here is the map at the start of the round.
Rochelle was behind and the the left of Harp. Harp was behind Kal. Harp pushed through Kal and Fal, by Salix and just above #1.
Kal fried #2, the guy attacking Bel. Kal had taken a 5 foot step diagonally so that he is next to Salix at the moment. He can take a 5 foot step next turn and try and skewer #2.
The map I send out tonight should help.

Subject Round 3
Harp, seeing Ran focus on Kendrick, takes a small step to get on the other side of Kendrick, then attacks Kendrick again.
OOC: Mark, 5 ft. step to flank Kendrick if he has not moved. If he has, then after my AOO, I will move to where I can flank him again, if possible.
Mark, when #2 stepped back and took a swig, would that not create an AOO? If it was a withdraw, then it was a full round action and he could not use the vial. If it was a 5 ft. step, then the action would create an AOO? Right?
From: Mark
Subject Round 3
5 foot steps do not provoke AOO.
From the rules:
You can move 5 feet in any round when you don't perform any other kind of movement. Taking this 5-foot step never provokes an attack of opportunity. You can't take more than one 5-foot step in a round, and you can't take a 5-foot step in the same round when you move any distance.
You can take a 5-foot step before, during, or after your other actions in the round.
Talk to your 11 year old about the rules before you question me again. :)
