@Jeronis, Shile and Nordak-

The warlock grows angry for a brief moment and you see a ray of energy fly from his hand and straight at Jeronis hitting him.

Jeronis, Make a Fortitude save.

Everyone, Roll Initiative.

Claudius · Post by **Claudius** » Sun Jul 17, 2011 3:19 pm

Jeronis-

Fortitude save: d20 + 5 = 18 + 5 = 23

Initiative: d20 + 4 = 3 + 4 = 7

"Well I assure you, you do know the people I speak of, even if just for a brief duration. You are suffering from some sort of variation of Spice Venom usage, apparantley quite an altered version of the narcotic. Please, let me help you back into the kitchen and the others can help explain."

Nordak, still feeling slightly numb after the warlock's attack, pulled his greataxe to defend himself once again,

I am glad you finally decided which side you are. Too bad your choices have come down to this. Bring it on!

Initiative: 1d20+0=15,+0=15

You guys haven't even had the chance to examine whether he is awake or not, so you don't know.

Unfortunately you seem to miss quite profusely, as he dodges out of the way of pretty much all your attacks.

He begins casting a spell, and successfully casts defensively with you on his tail.

Four small circles begin to appear around him.

Legend-
Gray = 4 small circles.
Green = Nordak
Purple = Warlock
Blue = Jeronis
Orange = Shile
Large Pink Circle = Jerusa
Dark Blue Squares = Wine-racks
Small Red Rectangle = Door to Prison of Jerusa (difficult terrain)
Large Red Square = Hatch to kitchen above (difficult terrain)

Shile's Turn, Jeronis's Turn, and then Nordak again (you can post your actions in any order for now).

She glares down at Gu'dan. "The kitchen? Why, so you and my new 'friends' can knock the daylights out of me and rob me blind? I wasn't born yesterday, dwarf. What's in that kitchen that's so important?"

"Oooh!"

Shile happily screams, rising her arms and commanding the shadows around her.

HP 10
AC 12
Saves: For 3, Re 0, Will 3
Resistance to cold 10

Shile casts Shadow hood.

Will to negate DC 12.

OOC: I am a bit new so please bear with me. I did read the rules by the way Actions In Combat :: d20srd.org.

I wasn't sure how big each square was. Since Shile and I are taking up two scquares I wondered if the squares were 5 feet? In that case the warlock is 10 feet away from me. If I draw my weapons that is my move action. I can take a move action in place of my standard action so I could place myself in combat. Or I could throw a dagger as my standard action. The five foot step would not put me next to the warlock.

I will choose to do the drawing weapons and placing myself myself opposite to Nordak without getting close to the orbs. If I can attack all the better but it doesn't seem to be the case. Drawing masterwork dagger and masterwork lightmace. My character doesn't speak.

Siberys · Post by **Siberys** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 5:07 pm

You can [url="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/actionsInCombat.htm#draworSheatheaWeapon"]draw a weapon as you move[/url] so long as you have a base attack bonus of +1, so that's no issue.

As for the Draconic Aura, only one Aura is active at a time and Nordak has Power Active, so you currently get a +1 to damage rolls in melee combat only (and remember, just because a dagger is a melee weapon, throwing it changes it into a ranged weapon and negates the bonus from Power Aura).

Claudius · Post by **Claudius** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 5:12 pm

Cool. I'll draw the weapons as I move into position directly opposite Nordak.

Attack lightmace, masterwork-d20 + 5 = 13 + 5 = 18
Attack dagger, masterwork- d20 + 5 = 11 + 5 = 16
Damage lightmace, mw = d4 + 1(draconic) = 2 + 1 = 3
Sneak damage lightmace (if facing Nordak) = d6 = 6
Damage dagger, mw = 1d3 + 1(draconic) = 2 + 1 = 3

"No no no my dear you have it all wrong, the others are investigating a secured area only accessible via the kitchen, if it makes you more comfortable I'll go bring them out here, you may have an easier time remembering when you see some more faces, although I do say if you are threatened by an unarmed holy man there may be more in that drug that you consumed than I first thought." Gu'dan bows to Allexa as he departs back for the kitchen.

"I have more cause to distrust a holy man than anyone else." She murmurs, tailing behind him quietly so that she could make sure she knew what he was up to.

Combat stats:
HP: 23/23
AC: 15 (10 + 6 Armor + 1 Natural - 2 Charge last round)
Saves: F +7 / R +0 / W +2
Attack: +5 (1 + 4 STR)
Weapons: Greataxe (masterwork) +6 / 3d6+6 / x3 & Gore (secondary attack) +0 / 2d6+4 / x2
Draconic Aura: +1 Power/Presence/Senses
Racial Bonus: +2 charge/bull rush
Powerful Build

Still bewildered by the warlock's ability to evade him, Nordak attempts a second attack this time adding more muscles to the hit,

Ah, you are nimble aren't you? I will still get you!

Greataxe (masterwork) Attack: 1d20+5 (6 - 1 Power Attack)=2,+5=7 (OOC: I need to change my dice!

)
Greataxe (masterwork) Damage: 3d6+9 (6 + 1 Power Aura + 2 Power Attack)=3,4,6,+9=22
Gore Attack: 1d20-1 (0 - 1 Power Attack)=11,-1=10
Gore Damage: 2d6+6 (4 + 1 Power Aura + 1 Power Attack)=1,3,+6=10

OOC: I am not sure if it matters or not (I presume it doesn't), but during charge I get an additional +2 to attack rolls. So during last attack the bonus improves a bit. For the greataxe it surely doesn't change anything, but maybe for the gore attack.

Siberys · Post by **Siberys** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 1:56 pm

@Claudius- Your attack bonus is one higher for two weapon fighting, +6/6 instead of +5/5. Just an FYI. I did count that in.

@Shile, Jeronis, Nordak.

~Shile uses a mystery and casts shadow hood on the Warlock, but it utterly fails as the Warlock laughs at the tendrils around him.
~Jeronis Lunges forward with both his weapons to attack him, his light mace manages to smack him across the face while the dagger unfortunately missed.
~Nordak tries again with his axe but unfortunately isn't having much luck today, as he missed profusely again.
~The warlock finishes his spell and the four circles become four human skeletons. Just as he finishes, he casts yet another spell (defensively and successfully) on all three of you. You feel a great wave of sadness wash over you, make a will save. He also commands the four human skeletons to attack the shifty one and the big brute.
~The Four skeletons split up and attack Jeronis and Nordak, two each.

Skeletons I and II attack Nordak, the first one hitting and the second one missing despite flank. Nordak Takes 6 damage.

Skeletons III and IV attack Jeronis, both receiving flank, one hitting, dealing 4 points of damage.

@Gu'Dan, you make your way back to the kitchen and hear a lot of ruckus down below. You enter below and see your three allies battling a rather old and decrepit looking man and four skeletons attacking Jeronis, Shile and Nordak. Beyond a doorway is a half grey half white man held down by a cone shaped magic device and half a dozen thick chains, with lashings and scars all over his body.

Roll Initiative.

@Allexa, If you follow Gu'Dan at all, you see the same thing. As you are not sure if they are your allies or not, you can choose to roll initiative or stay above and out of the fight.

Siberys · Post by **Siberys** » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:04 pm

Just a note, I've been using the wrong word to describe him. Decrepit is feeble and weak, I sort of meant deathly and evil as opposed to that.

This is what the guy looks like, minus the weapon.
