Just a note for people: Because of our unfortunate luck with the light, many are in complete darkness and therefore suffer half movement and basically are blind. Unless of course you have darkvision. a quick repost about light rules so people don't have to go hunting: [spoiler]"In an area of dim light, a character can see somewhat. Creatures within this area have concealment (20% miss chance in combat) from those without darkvision or the ability to see in darkness. A creature within an area of dim light can make a Stealth check to conceal itself. Areas of dim light include outside at night with a moon in the sky, bright starlight, and the area between 20 and 40 feet from a torch. In areas of darkness, creatures without darkvision are effectively blinded. In addition to the obvious effects, a blinded creature has a 50% miss chance in combat (all opponents have total concealment), loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, takes a –2 penalty to AC, and takes a –4 penalty on Perception checks that rely on sight and most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks. Areas of darkness include an unlit dungeon chamber, most caverns, and outside on a cloudy, moonless night."[/spoiler]

That is a good reminder - I am going off the fact that Goblin 3 is lit up and in total darkness I could take the shot and have a good possibility of hitting him because he is illumated. But I should check anyway, Gordon how good of shot is goblin 3?

Does that include shooting from dark area into a lit area? I would be able to see a shadow for those in front of me.

If I am in total darkness and my chances are very low to hit, I will move. I am just thinking since the Goblin is illuminated, I would still have a better than darkness shot.

That is why you try not to smoke or use your flashlight in the open field while in combat.

This is partially true, but there is light in the room, so those who are in complete darkness are able to fire into the lighted areas normally as long as they already had their weapon ready and don't move... The normal issue of firing through an occupied square applies--but Taedyn is fine with his shot right now as long as someone doesn't move into a square to block the shot (which would then be -4 I am pretty sure...) Also Treye is able to see the horse in the low light--just not very well--so again, as long as she doesn't move too much or do something to break concentration she should be fine doing what she is doing. There is nothing on the floor area between the south entrance and the goblins, by the way--which everyone would have seen when Birag moved with the continual flame axe--so I am not too concerned with hampering movement for anyone...

Well I hope no one steps into my field of fire squares - I am anticipating certain movement and just remember you probably hear the arrows whizzing by you and maybe seeing\hearing impacts. My targets would be different if I had precise shot.

Concentrating on a spell is a standard action. You can't attack and concentrate. Concentrating to Maintain a Spell: Some spells require continued concentration to keep them going. Concentrating to maintain a spell is a standard action that doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. Anything that could break your concentration when casting a spell can keep you from concentrating to maintain a spell. If your concentration breaks, the spell ends.

THINKING: Great illusion is that horse! and together with my horse sounds it looks amazing!
Then he sees the wolf and remembers he is holding the sling he could not fire before, so he uses his sling to hurl a bullet (1d20+6=22, 1d3+3=4) at the wolf... (BD20)
20% miss chance due to light (1d100=22)
the light makes it difficult to see the wolf, but Desna's favor is upon him

OUT OF CHARACTER

Dordolio keeps performing the horse sounds until he is sure it wont matter anymore... (ie. no more scare effect for goblins) he should be able to sing (like a horse ) and fight... if this is not possible... he will stop performing (since the goblins already are running away scared) as i can read in the following post i don't move and use the ranged attack. - and i rolled for the 20% miss chance (and almost missed the wolf.)

OUT OF CHARACTER

You can continue making the horse sounds as a free action as long as you don't move and attack in the same round. Don't forget that the wolf is in low light so in addition to the normal attack role you need to roll a 20% chance for missing due to lighting effects...

Treye continues concentrating on her illusion, making the horse slow down to a complete stop in AZ16 where it glares menacingly at the goblins.

This is a bit out of order, but I'm going to be away from my computer pretty much all day tomorrow, if you need to adjust to keep the game going, feel free.

 

With a loud yell FOR TORAG!!!!!!, Zanice breaks into a sprint (well, as must as a dwarf can sprint, and I can tell you many would find it comical if they were so brave to admit it) towards the mangy wolf! Swinging his warhamer high above his head, he attempts to bring it crashing down on the wolfs head.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Zanice charges to BE21 and attacks the wolf at BD20. +3 to hit and +2 for charge (total+5). No miss chance thanks to darkvision (1d20+5, 1d8+3=[8, 5], [5, 3]) (I think I messed that up by using a comma instead of a semi colon. Still learning invisible castle. So I think its a 13 to hit and 8 damage. Can someone look at that for me?) Edit: If its not to late, I'd like to use an action point to add to that roll: Action point to add to hit roll (1d6=2) Total to hit: 15, total damage: 8. Note: Technically, Dordolio is in the way of my charge. If he is still there when my init comes up, I will overrun him, assuming he will allow me to pass. "As a standard action, taken during your move or as part of a charge, you can attempt to overrun your target, moving through its square." He can simply choose to allow me past: "When you attempt to overrun a target, it can choose to avoid you, allowing you to pass through its square without requiring an attack."

OUT OF CHARACTER

Taedyn notches another arrow. 58 arrows remaining. Shield spell active

Yep Zanice - that equals 13 or you hit AC 13 and did 8 points of damage. Most likely you hit the wolf then again you never know.

Dordolio notices your intent and will let you pass.
if needed i can even step 5 feet along the wall making the way clear.

OUT OF CHARACTER

all i will do is making horse sounds and use my sling, if i should not be able to use my sling because i made a step aside. well then i guess i have to wait a little before i send of the next bullet

You can move through or occupy a square with Kenken as long as there is no melee going on (which there is right now.) But you can just move to BB28 and still do the same attack... (I'll assume that is what you want to do unless you modify your post before I validate.)

OUT OF CHARACTER

Been thinking about this situation--knew something was not quite right--finally tracked down the rules. Kenken is a Tiny creature, so his reach is the equivalent of 0. To attack he has to move into the square of an opponent (which may provoke an AoO). Once there--he can stay and attack repeatedly. So what I replied to you, EM, is only partially true--The first part is true--but for a different reason (if Kenken is in melee he is in the same square as another creature). The second part is unnecessary as a result--you can move to either square (since Kenken is actually in square BA27 with the opponent.) His style, by the way, is to fight low to the ground and use his Trip talent with a successful hit--so I am assuming he will not be in anyone's way who may choose to attack the same creature as long as these methods are what he is using (no penalties to attack if he is in the same square as your opponent.)

ROUND 2: Bring it on! Initiative Harpsent: attack Kenken: move and attack Birag Stoneshatter: turn over dead goblin and kill one more Treye Hirther: maintains Silent Image of a Horse Dordolio: Sings like a horse! + sling attack Bhen the Proper: move and attack Taedyn Firisol: ranged attack Zanice Songsteel: charge and attacks wolf Nekki & Kheldon: reserved to cover wolf until Zanice steps up--then Kheldon attacks goblin (Kheldon move and Nekki action reserved to end of round) Goblins: mass confusion Wolf: attacks Zanice

 

Harpsent and Kenken have both moved and attacked.

Birag moves over the goblin torch, kicking as he goes and successfully turns it over. He then attacks a second goblin and clobbers him too.

Treye reins in her horse illusion to stand in the East tunnel exitway, glaring at the little goblins in anger.

Dordolio continues to make horse sounds successfully, and also manages to take a step away from the tunnel and lob a sling bullet at the approaching mangy wolf. It whines and then growls with renewed vigor as the bullet successfully hits.

Bhen steps up to attack and misses (possibly more to follow?)

Taedyn takes careful aim and lets another arrow loose but misses (15% chance to hit adjacent opponents (1d100=39))

Zanis charges with an oath, and successfully rains down Torag's justice on the head of the barely alive wolf.

Now that the mangy wolf is occupied with Zanice, Kheldon lunges at his goblin again for a successful attack bite/damage (1d20+2=16, 1d6+1=5). The goblin doesn't have a chance...

With both their possible leaders dead, half of the party decimated in a matter of seconds, and the menacing horse appearing in the tunnel exit; most of the goblins are now in full panic mode. There are several shout outs as they turn left and right trying to figure out what to do, and then a majority of them begin retreating to the NE corner. Several of the more level headed appear to be willing to face the horse and run towards the tunnel. The one goblin in combat (with Kenken and Bhen) makes a half hearted attempt to attack--choosing the human, who at least appears to not be wearing armor...dogslicer attack/damage (1d20+2=13, 1d4=1) Unfortunately for him, he misses.

The wolf, now on his last leg, makes a desperate attempt to repay someone for the pain he is feeling bite attack/damage (1d20+2=22, 1d6+1=3). The attack is solid, but not as punishing as the creature had hoped.

OUT OF CHARACTER

The wolf did not make crit confirmation. Zanice--you do take 3 points of damage. Goblins 6/7 and 11 are running to the West tunnel. All the other goblins appear to be retreating to the NE corner except goblin 8 who is engaged in melee with Bhen and Kenken. There were no AoO with the retreat since none were engaged/next to anyone. shai-based on how things panned out I figured you wouldn't mind me attacking for Kheldon (the role was good so not much to complain about ) IF you do make it back and have computer access, feel free to take Kheldon's move and your action before the beginning of the next round which I will be posting later tonight.

 

[Benji]

Treye will move slightly to BI25, still concentrating on her illusion. In an effort to make it look more terrifying, she will cause it to rear up and land it's hooves down on G11's head, causing the poor creature to crumple in an explosion of blood!

Yeah, I know it's an illusion. I'm just adapting it a bit to make it look much more terrifying to the other goblins. G11 would get a will save at this point to disbelieve it.

OUT OF CHARACTER

I had to decide on how to rule on this illusion (since it was a combination of Treye and Dordolio creating the complete illusion.) Here's what I did: Dordolio rolled a DC check to see if the sound element was believable at all. He was successful with this roll, so the illusion had the possibility of incorporating vision and sound. I then allowed all of the goblins a modified individual save based on two factors. First, the wolf made his save (he was right there when it was created and the sound effects would not be believable from where he was positioned so no sound and no smell gave him the Will save chance.) This successful save allowed the wolf to ignore the horse--which affected those goblins with a line of sight to see this happen. Second, since the sound added the element (in my mind) of them interacting with the illusion (having to decipher the sound in relation to the horse) I modified the save based on how close they were to Dordolio and the horse. The goblins all believed there was a horse and there were horse sounds--but did they believe the two were connected properly? Had there been no sound, I still would have allowed a save on this illusion based on the horse moving and making no sound (which is a form of interaction in my mind.) Since Dordolio was successful in making the sounds believable this made the save harder. For this kind of illusion to not get an interactive will save--it would need to be something that would not obviously be making any sounds (had the horse been just standing there calmly for instance and only moved its head.) Part of these conditions could be modified in the future if Dordolio chose to take a Perform, Ventriloquist Skill. This would then replace the modified Will save with him rolling a skill check. IF the check was successful there would be no will save unless their was a different kind of interaction with the illusion. So--based on this setup, the two goblins running toward the horse are already of a mind that it is an illusion (they both rolled nat 20's). They may still reflexively attempt to avoid the horse (I would ) but they are not falling for it much anymore--they are running for their lives out the tunnel. Most of the remaining goblins are either out of line of sight anyway with this goblin (or beyond their darkvision range.) They are still terrified already though...

Taedyn could always mirror Treye's free 5' step to avoid conflict--actually I would think you would naturally do that if Treye started trying to squeeze past you-- (there is not a 5' space between you and the tunnel side for her to get to that spot.)
