END OF COMBAT ROUND 3

Shareev moves over to and jumps into the Jif at the bottom of the platform and starts it up. [Getting to the vehicle is a move action and starting it is a move action. Next round you can start driving it. Might want to take a look at the MSRD on vehicle movement to help decide what you want to do.]

COMBAT ROUND 4

Brand bleeds. [-8]

Moving in a bit of a circle to confuse Dude L, Thanis fires over Rúadhnait's shoulder at Dude L. He misses.

Aeless steps closer to Dude G and takes another swing with his greatsword, slashing the Dude severely.

Esias swerves across the room and launches an arrow at Dude A: the Dude’s protective suit is little help against this particularly well-placed shot [critical!].

Amon screams Uncle Oldin! No! He stands from his cowering position and gestures viscously at Dude L, but nothing happens. [bad roll for the kid]

Leenah weaves betwixt the jifs and the walls to find a covered position near the other end of the room.

Dude A steps away from Esias, dropping his billy club and readying his kuhn. His burst is wild, though, completely missing.

Dude B also drops his club and levels his kuhn. His burst is successful, peppering Esias with bullets [19 hp]. He backs away.

Dude C’s burst at Esias is unsuccessful, thanks to the intervening jif.

Dude F’s beam of fire connects with Esias, however [11 hp].

Hemmed in, Dude L has no choice but to stow his kuhn and draw his club.

Dude E reloads and fires a burst at Ruadhnait that connects, but doesn’t seem to phase her much [8 hp].

Dude G swings his club desperately at Aeless, failing to connect.

In her rage, Ruadhnait squares with and stabs wildly at Dude L, missing.
OUT OF CHARACTER
Damage totals: Oldin dead, Aeless 10, Brand 77, Ruadhnait 8, Esias 47, Amon 9, Shareev 2

Reminder: moving in the crosshatched areas of the map at full speed requires a balance check to avoid falling, but it’s only DC5. You can move at half speed without trouble.

Initiative Order:
Shareev.

I suck. :shock:

 


Thanis Backs ups, using 10' of movement to get to Q7, and lines up with Dude L, again, and fires. I think this will leave hime empty.
attack is +11, and Damage 2d10+1+1d6 skirmish

Next round, can thanis Reload during a move?

Leenah looks up to the hole above her, the way she came. What does the ceiling look like above her? (I'm referring to the ceiling of the floor above) How far above her is the ceiling of the upper floor?

Shareev will attempt to turn the vehicle and ram it into the Jif at the bottom, smashing it into LE and G.
OUT OF CHARACTER
Pat, I read through some of the info in the MSRD regarding vehicles in combat but I do not know exactly what vehicle the Jif is to look up it's speed and Manueverability

 

After checking out the stats, it looks as if this round Shareev will be turning the vehicle and moving it off of the platform getting some speed (move 2 squares at Alley Speed)

Next round, Shareev will be able to have the Jif at Street Speed and be able to actually ram the other Jif (squishing the dudes on the other side of it :D )

Acknowledging the better part of valor (3 remaining hp will do that), Esias scampers to H14 (35 feet by my reckoning, within his 40 ft movement), shouting, "Amon, get down!" en route. Once there, he'll wait for the first Dude who moves into line-of-sight and let fly an arrow at same.
OUT OF CHARACTER
+7 to hit (+8 if the target is w/in 30 ft), damage 1d6+3+2d6 (1d6+4+2d6 if w/in 30 ft), AC 17 (18 vs first Dude to come into view)

Thanis cannot reload while moving. It's a move action in itself.

For Leenah: it's 20' up to the edge of the floor above, then another 20' of open space to the ceiling of the garage.

For Shareev: stats of the jif are the same as the Ford Escape XLT (SUV) in the MSRD.

Leenah takes note of the ceiling as a possible route of escape if she can get her rope around something near the upper ceiling level and secure it somehow. She takes out her silk rope and quickly fashions a lasso (Move action to retrieve her rope, full round action to tie the knot for the lasso). Next round, she will have a move action left and hopefully about 30 feet left of rope. The apex of the lasso, however, would be at least 35 feet, which when combined with her 5' height, should reach the upper ceiling, should she notice anything to attach it to.

END OF COMBAT ROUND 4

Shareev maneuvers the jif out of its position, pointing it toward the Dude and beginning to accelerate.

COMBAT ROUND 5

Brand sees a white light as he continues to bleed. [-9]

Thanis backs up in a circle and fires at Dude L again. He misses horribly again, [rolled a 1]

Aeless continues with his assault on Dude G. This time the critical is confirmed and Dude G is finished.

Acknowledging the better part of valor, Esias scampers to cover, shouting, "Amon, get down!" en route. He shoots an arrow at Dude A [he remains within line of sight from your position, so I assumed your ready action went off automatically], but misses.

Amon does not heed Esias’ advice. Instead, he remains standing and gesturing at Dude L. This time a wave of blue energy comes from his hand, but misses Dude L.

Leenah pulls out a rope and begins making a lasso.

Dude A moves up to fire at Esias. His burst misses.

Dude B blasts Amon in the back. The boy falls down again. [11 hp puts Amon at –8, on the way to joining his uncle]

Dude C tries the same thing with Shareev, but with so many obstructions in between, none of his bullets reach the mutant.

Dude F moves up and aims his beam of fire at Leenah. She is protected by the wall.

Dude E fires a burst at Aeless and just barely misses.

Dude L swats at Ruadhnait with his club, connecting [near critical, not confirmed, only 5 hp]. He doesn’t like the look of the oncoming jif and steps out from behind cover.

Ruadhnait pokes Dude L solidly in return, but he remains standing.

Esias will move to J-12 and try to snag Amon and drag him to M-13 and whatever cover the jif provides, staying low to avoid the Dudes to the north.

Armor class will be 17, 18 vs Dude A.

As Leenah finishes tying the knots, she glances around at her situation. THINKING: Brand, Amon, and Oldin down. If I plan it right, I might be able to use the wand I have to heal one of them. Probably wouldn't survive helping Brand, and if I try to help Oldin or Amon, it wastes valuable time.

As Esias moves to help Amon, Leenah assumes that the dudes will target him. Does she even have enough rope for this to work? Right now, deception is her best option. Only one dude has a good view of her. THINKING: Pretend to be too frightened to do anything. Pretend that you are just cowering in the corner. Perhaps they will ignore you.

Leenah makes her best look of terror at Dude F: Bluff check to look like a non-combatant (1d20+2=19) (Plus any circumstance modifiers for being a girl with a rope). Then, she will press herself up against the wall and make a hide check from the other three dudes (A, B, and C). Hide check (+10 from Improved Cover as the wall mostly hides her, but you never know if something might be sticking out that would alert them to her presence) (1d20+14=29)

Using the dead body as a meat shield against the dude (E), Aeless shoves the corpse towards his current weakened companion and moves in swinging the large weapon.

END OF COMBAT ROUND 5

Shareev accelerates his jif into the other one. There is a huge crash and bits of metal fly everywhere. Although Shareev maintains control of the vehicle, he is jostled a bit [total damage is below]. Shareev’s jif stops, but Shareev guns it, pushing the other jif into Dude E and the wall. The end result:
  • Both jifs are now damaged to inoperability
  • Dude E is still alive but pinned between the jifs and the wall
  • Shareev lost control of the jif in the final collision with the wall and it spun, but it’s stopped now, so that doesn’t really matter much
  • Shareev took a bit of damage from the multiple collisions [but made most of his reflex saves, so the total is only 14 hp]
COMBAT ROUND 6

Brand goes into the white light and dies [-10].

Thanis reloads and fires at Dude L again. Once more, he misses [apparently, the DM sheet hates you]

Aeless jumps up on the wreck jif and slashes the pinned Dude, who is now just barely conscious.

Esias retreats back behind a jif, dragging Amon with him.

Amon bleeds [-9].

Leenah finishes her lasso, then cowers behind the wall, doing her best to look helpless…

Dude A continues moving toward Esias. He walks right past Leenah without noticing her. He looks at the cowering Esias with an evil grin as he reloads his weapon.

Dude B also tries to move up, but falls down in the middle of the greasy floor [What a complete maroon!]

Dude C does not fall down, and, apparently unaware of Leenah’s location, blasts at Esias. In spite of the cover, he hits and Esias is the next to head for the white light [14 hp puts Esias at –11]

Dude F moves up toward Leenah. The wall continues to protect her from his beam of fire. [He thought she looked nonthreatening with her rope, but he also had nothing better to shoot at].

Dude E manages to unwedge himself from between the jif and the wall. However, he’s now standing right next to an angry-looking Aeless…

Dude L steps toward Thanis and attempts to swat the reeble from his hands. Thanis holds on, though. [Failed disarm attempt]

Ruadhnait gives chase and jabs Dude L in the back. He does not look very healthy anymore.
OUT OF CHARACTER
Damage totals: Oldin dead, Aeless 10, Brand dead, Ruadhnait 13, Esias dead, Amon 21, Shareev 16

Those of you who just died are about to have PMs...

With Dude F so close, Leenah makes her move! THINKING: He won't be firing at her for much longer! In fact, he won't be alive much longer!

Lasso attack: +4 BAB, +4 Dex, -4 Nonproficiency (1d20+4=18)

I sure hope that hits his touch AC!!!

 

+14 Use Rope (+2 synergy for Bindings) (1d20+16=17)

I thought about giving you an AoO, but decided it was more similar to freeing oneself from a grapple than standing from prone. You'll kill him this round if you hit him, anyway.

Howling a Keltic war cry, Rúadhnait attempts to skewer Dude L with her spear.
OUT OF CHARACTER
+13 to hit with the flank, 1d8+7 damage, crit 20/x3, AC is 16

 

Contingency: if Dude L goes down before Rúadhnait can act, she will step to T10 and stab at Dude E with the same to-hit bonus. If Dude E is also rendered hors de combat by then, she will advance to J11 (50 feet, just within her movement) and strike at Dude A (+11 to hit in that case). (Unless the GM rules she has to make a Will save not to attack Thanis; she is in a berserker rage, after all, and he's right there in front of her... :twisted: )

Just checking; I've had GMs who ruled that a raging barbarian had to make a Will check (usually vs DC 10) after dropping a foe to keep from attacking an ally if the ally was an obviously more "likely" target than any surviving enemy. :20: (With a natural 1 being an automatic failure, which could make things interesting even at higher levels. :shock: )

END OF COMBAT ROUND 7

Shareev hops off the Jif and moves carefully up to Amon and Esias [I counted this as a half-speed move, so there was no balance check required]

COMBAT ROUND 8

Thanis whacks Dude L in the jaw with the butt of his rifle, just managing to knock him out.

Aeless slashes Dude E, eliminating him from the fight. Aeless does not succeed in decapitating the man though; his head stays attached.

Amon expires [-10].

Leenah encircles Dude F with her lasso, but he ducks right out of the lariat’s circle before it can tighten around him. [He totally beat your use rope/grapple check]

Howling a Keltic war cry, Rúadhnait runs toward Dude A. She misses him with her spear. [I moved Ruad up ahead of the Dudes in initiative, since she’s a PC again (at least for the time being)]

Dude A says, “Consarn it!” and moves away from her, getting stabbed by her spear for his trouble. Then he opens fire on her and most of his bullets hit [14 hp]

Dude B stands up and, rather than risk falling again, shoots from right where he is at Shareev. Rather amazingly, some of the bullets from his burst hit [10 hp].

Dude C reloads and blasts at Ruadhnait, but misses.

Dude F sneers at Leenah, but then ignores her. He aims his fire-tube at Ruadhnait. The line of fire connects both with her and Shareev! [4 hp each. First time he’s gotten two of you to line up for him, so he’s happy about that, but not about the miserable damage roll]
OUT OF CHARACTER
Damage totals: Oldin dead, Aeless 10, Brand dead, Ruadhnait 31, Esias dead, Amon dead, Shareev 30

I think this is going to be touch and go, although it’s 5 on 4 to your advantage now…

Reminder: moving in the crosshatched areas of the map at full speed requires a balance check to avoid falling, but it’s only DC5. You can move at half speed without trouble.

Initiative Order:
Shareev
--> COMBAT ROUND 8 BEGINS
Thanis Laskin
Aeless Aereth
Leenah
Rúadhnait
DUDES
--> Next validation
