Cyrius grimly continues to hew at the creature holding him (remembering to include the prayer):

[JPetherick]

Worrel again tries to rip his sword free.


He succeeds this time, holding it high in order to attack the chest when he next gets a chance.

OUT OF CHARACTER

You missed my shot last round, true it was a miss, but I did shoot.

 

Lola will reload her crossbow and fire at M3.

kabkal: D20 + 8 → 24(16 + 8) to hit
: D8 + 2 → 5(3 + 2) damage if hits

[patransom]

...Worrel tries to rip his sword free from the mimic. Unfortunately, the sword is stuck fast. Instead, Worrel stands fast in an attempt to keep the creature from dragging him away.

Lola fires her crossbow at M3, but misses. She reloads (I assumed).

“Will we next be attacked by barrels?” Cyrius demands...

OUT OF CHARACTER

Lola's shot is in there between Worrel and Cyrius... Next round coming soon...

 

[patransom]

Round 3 Continues

Prost stays laser focused on M1 and fires another bullet. His savagely accurate shot lands with a resounding thump, finishing off the chest-monster [7 hp damage]. Prost reloads and attempts to hide from the enemy again. He's pretty sure he's not fooling anyone (sniping attempts like this are at -20 stealth, so...)

Ardrea holds her position and Cackles to extend the duration of Protective Luck. She casts Burning Gaze, targeting M2. The creature is unfazed by her gaze [Fort save succeeded].

Worrel finds that his defeated opponent is no longer sticky and easily frees his sword [This is not an action, so Worrel can use a whole second set of actions next round]

Lola reloads her crossbow and fires at M3. Her bolt makes a low drone that ceases abruptly as it lodges itself in her target [5 hp damage]

Cyrius grimly continues to hew at the creature holding him. His first strike leaves a gory wound [6 hp damage]. Unfortunately, the gore is sticky and he finds his mindblade quite stuck.

“Knew I shoulda brought along a pint of Whisky! ANYONE GOT ANY BOOZE?” Tex calls out. He retrieves a potion (move action) and drinks it (standard action). He recovers somewhat from his previous squeezing [healed 11 hp]

Fluffy guards Lola.

Round 4 Begins

Ardrea's hex helps Tex out this time and he proves resistant to additional squeezing, at least for the moment.

M3 fails to drag Cyrius any farther into the warehouse.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Seems the DM sheet's dice are working in your favor right now...

 

ACTIVE EFFECTS

Grappled: Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity. A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity. Note: the adhesive covering these creatures means you cannot get free of their grapple by usual means (i.e., trying to break the grapple) without somehow neutralizing the adhesive first. Prayer: your allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a -1 penalty on such rolls, 5 rounds left Protective Luck: Whenever Tex is targeted by an effect that requires an attack roll, including weapon attacks, the attacker must roll twice and take the worse result, 1 round left. Note: I am counting CMB checks to grapple and constrict as attack rolls. Round 4 Continues 1. Prost - loaded slingstaff readied, 43 bullets left 2. Ardrea - staff readied, Burning Gaze, 5 rounds left 3. Worrel - sword and shield readied, 24 hp damage 4. Lola - unloaded crossbow readied, 71 bolts left 5. Cyrius - mind blade longsword readied, grappled by M3, mindblade stuck to M3 (DC17 Strength check to unstick), 30 hp damage 6. Tex - battleaxe readied, 120 arrows left, grappled by M2, axe stuck to M2 (DC17 Strength check to unstick), 43 hp damage 7. Fluffy Round 3 Begins 9. Crate-shaped Monster (M1), 57 hp damage, DEAD 10. Crate-shaped Monster (M2), 4 hp damage 11. Crate-shaped Monster (M3), 37 hp damage

[CGM3]

Cyrius dismisses his mind blade, then materializes it again in longsword (and unstuck ) configuration and hacks at the "killer mimic" once more (given the circumstances, I figure it would take a move action to do the dismiss/manifest operation).

[smeltdm]

Prost stealth's to 0624
Prost then attacks from around corner of large crate.


dice gods have spoken

[Jinxs-3d]

Ardrea will repeat her actions. Leading with a Cackle to extend her active hex and targeting M2 with the Burning Gaze.

[kabkal]

Lola will once again shoot at M3 and reload her crossbow.

kabkal: D20 + 8 → 20(12 + 8) to hit
kabkal: D8 + 2 → 4(2 + 2) damage

[ElectroZman]

Tex tries to wrench his axe free.

(Forgot the prayer again.... so 19)

Then swings at it.

“Worrel, lets flank it!”

Reflex if needed.

[patransom]

OUT OF CHARACTER

Waiting on Worrel, who can take double the usual number of actions this round

 

[JPetherick]

Worrel steps to put the nearest monster between himself and Tex. He then swing, hoping that his sword does not become stuck again.

OUT OF CHARACTER

Forgot flanking, but it doesn't matter

 

[JPetherick]

OUT OF CHARACTER

If M2 remains alive ... attack twice. If not, move to engage M3 (and only use first attack)[/dice]

 

[patransom]

Round 4 Continues

Prost tries to clamber stealthily around the large crate. Although M3 is able to spot him before he shoots, his sling bullet still delivers a bit of a sting as it strikes the creature and ricochets downwards [5 hp damage including prayer]

Once again, Ardrea Cackles to extend the duration of Protective Luck then targets M2 with Burning Gaze. And once again, the creature is unaffected [Fort save succeeded].

Worrel steps to put the nearest monster between himself and Tex. He then swings, hoping that his sword does not become stuck again. It does not, because he misses the first strike. However, he follows up with a heavy overhand swing that ends in pure butchery [18 hp damage puts an end to M2]

Lola once again shoots at M3. Her bolt's delicate flutter belies its true intensity; it harshly plunges into the target [4 hp damage]. Lola reloads her crossbow.

Cyrius dismisses his mind blade, then materializes it again as a conveniently unstuck longsword and hacks at the "killer mimic." With a quick cut, he hews a sticky gash through the creature [6 hp damage]. The last monster is almost, but not quite, dead, so...

Tex, finding himself unstuck thanks to Worrel's efforts, solves that problem by making a spinning step towards the creature. He finishes his spin with a blow that slices completely through the last mimic's lower half [11 hp damage and combat is over]

OUT OF CHARACTER

I'm assuming you'll stop for breath long enough that the Prayer and Burning Gaze expire. If it's not entirely clear on the map, there are doors at 0927, 1227, 1220, and 1527. That last one is up on the catwalk.

 

ACTIVE EFFECTS

Prost - unloaded slingstaff readied, 42 bullets left Ardrea - staff readied Worrel - sword and shield readied, 24 hp damage Lola - loaded crossbow readied, 70 bolts left Cyrius - mind blade longsword readied, 30 hp damage Tex - battleaxe readied, 120 arrows left, 43 hp damage Fluffy

[JPetherick]

“"We should heal,"” says Worrel. “"Before we meet more of those or some other hostile creatures."”

“"I could use the wand or call upon Mitra's grace. Or, do we have a better or faster way to heal?"”

OUT OF CHARACTER

Polling about how to heal ... Worrel can look after it while we out of combat.

 

[kabkal]

Lola replies “I too can heal as needed.”

[ElectroZman]

“I could use some!” says Tex.

[CGM3]

“I also,” Cyrius chimes in.

[kabkal]

Giving up Archon's Aura, Lola casts Cure Serious Wounds on Tex.

kabkal: 3D8 + 6 → 23( (6 +8 +3) + 6) Healing for Tex

Giving up One Restoration (lesser) Lola casts Cure Moderate Wounds on Tex.

kabkal: 2D8 + 6 → 17( (5 +6) + 6) Healing for Tex

[smeltdm]

Prost examines the area around the doors @ 0927 while party is healing...and waits before doing anything else.

[JPetherick]

Worrel moves to Cyrius. Once there, he mutters a prayer before reaching out to touch his companion.

Lola moves over to Tex and casts some healing spells [healed 40 hp].

Worrel moves to Cyrius. Once there, he mutters a prayer before reaching out to touch his companion [healed 26 hp].

Worrel steps to put the nearest monster between himself and Tex. He then swings, hoping that his sword does not become stuck again. It does not, because he misses the first strike. However, he follows up with a heavy overhand swing that ends in pure butchery [18 hp damage puts an end to M2]

Prost examines the area around the nearest door (0927) while party is healing. He doesn't see anything special about it, but notices that the door is locked.

OUT OF CHARACTER

[ElectroZman]

Tex eyes up the remaining furniture while he waits to see which door we'll open next. “Thanks Lola. Ready to go now.”

[kabkal]

Lola nods at Tex. She then waits to see which door the team wants to go through.

[smeltdm]

“How about this door...Its locked but that shouldn't be a problem” Prost waits for the party to post up on the door. When everyone is in position, he uses master work picks and googles of minute seeing to attempt to unlock the door.

[CGM3]

Cyrius moves up to 0926 and stands ready.
