Chapter Three-The Riddle of the Woods

[bookworm]

To Wraith: Better ask Fenix about "Iron Duke"

To Aizhel: Adora's words seems to be on the chaotic side and might get you in trouble from your "boss"

To Shadowhart: Jukia can hold both maces with one hand but he can't attack any of them. In other words you are only holding them not wielding them. Also, thanks to your two weapon fighting feat, you can draw both of your maces with only a single move action.

[shadowhart]

shadowhart to DM: thanks for correcting me... Pls assist me in my charging attack. I forgot the ruling there. thanks again.

[aizhel]

Aizhel to DM: It's just a joke. hehehehe Anyway, I'll Change my action for this round. I think the damulag will charge me.Ang sama tumingin... kala mo pulis makati

Round Three:

Initiative Order:

Jukai 23: Drink cure potion
Sand 23: Drink potion and jump up tree
Athos 18: Use Many shot on Minotaur(2).
Minotaur(2) 15: Charge Adora
Lestrand 14: Attack minotaur -Queen's Rose
Adora 9: Attack minotaur

With the first minotaur dead, Jukai took the opportunity to step back and get a cure potion from his pack. He drowns the blueish liquid quickly and at once, the fighter can feel some of his wounds closing.

Cure light wounds potion: 1d8+1
[dice=8]
Total: 6hp

After drinking the potion he retrieved earlier, Sand downs it in one gulp (tastes liked old almonds). He looks up and spots a branch some 20 ft. high and focusing all his power on his legs, jumps up towards it. Unfortunately, even his years of training in acrobatics was not enough for him to reach it and he lands back on the ground (the DC is 80, 4/1ft of height).

With the monster distraught with its brother's death, Athos steps backs and aims the two arrows he first aimed at the dead minotaur (1) and shoots them, point blank, at minotaur(2). Both arrows hit their mark, but only the first did any damage (-6hp) the second broke upon hitting the beast's armor.

Minotaur(2), not caring that an arrow is sticking from it's back, Roars in anger as it charges it's brothers killer. Lestrand, seeing an opening as the monster passes by him, strikes with his magical rapier.

Lestrand (+14) AoO vs Minotaur(2)
[dice=20]
Total: 17 HIT

Damage 1d6+3
[dice=6]
Total: 5

Minotaur(2) charges Adora (AC24)

Gore +16 (powerful charge)
[dice=20]
Total: 18 MISS

Adora manages to sidestep the charging monster at exactly the last moment and with her buckler, manages to deflect the minotaur(2)'s horns. Lestrand, sensing that the brute has forgone all sense of defense in it's effort kill Adora. Pursues the monster and attacks it using the queens rose stance (AC22). The fighter's blade penetrates the monsters armor (-6hp) but the brute pays him no heed, it' murderous eyes still focused on the paladin.

Adora, raising her weapon high, uses the holy power granted by Heironeous to surround her axes with holy light, and smites Minotaur(2) with it. The monster tries to block the attack but is momentarily blinded by the light and is hit squarely in the stomach (-17hp). Adora attacks again, but with the holy light fading from her weapon, minotaur(2) was able to block it.


End of Round Three
Athos 24/51 hp
Jukai 55/74 hp
Sand 24/40 hp
Minotaur(2) -44hp (badly wounded, flanked by Lestrand and Adora)

[bookworm]

To Shadowhart: the minotaur is now too close for Jukai to charge him. You should declare new actions for round 4...

[aizhel]

Drawing strength from the sight of her comrades a washed in their own blood, Adora spins like a windmill, channeling the power into her hand axe and attacks the Minotaur twice without any fear of death.

Adora to minotaur: “We did not start this fight, but we shall end it!”

Adora to party: “I will protect you until the very last drop of my blood” (parang komiks and dialogue, hehehhehe)

Barrend to DM: sir lady adora healed me using his wand gaining 5 poins of HP. So my HP now is 29 sir. Just clearing it.

Athos action: after lady adora heal my wounds Athos quickly stand on his feet and take another arrows from his quiver and shoot the second minotaur ranging his throat. Again using his many shot and point blank shot feats on the abominating creature.

First shot +12 (-2) +1 point blank shot[dice=20]

damage: [dice=6] +1 point blank shot

second shot +7 (-2) +1 point blank shot[dice=20]

damage: [dice=6] +1 point blank shot[rand=740936024150384425416091423532241167953085500637648053292928177743]

[Firlaf Kaean]

Barrend to DM: adding miss nikki seems ok, I do think we need more Company on this quest. I guess the party will not mind having another member on the party. "RIGHT GUYS?!"

[wraith]

Since Sand's attempt to jump up the tree didn't work, he opted to gut the monster while it was distracted.

Sand's 4th Round:

Swift Action: Ghost Step
Move Action: Move towards Minotaur2 Flank position opposite Jukai.
Standard Action: Attack with Myo'o

Katana Attack:
[dice=20]+8+2(invisible)+2(flanking)=24

Katana Damage:
[dice=10]+2=10

Sudden Strike Damage:
[dice=6]+
[dice=6]+
[dice=6]+
[dice=6]=12

TotalDamage: 10+12= 22

The unseen Myo'o drew a thin line in minotaur2's midsection, seconds passed as if nothing happened, the line became red, a sudden twitch from minotaur2's snout indicated that at last it felt something was amiss...but it was too late, its entrails are making their way out of the devious cut on its belly, that wasn't there a moment ago. It wondered in dismay how that happened but surrendered to it's fate, at least it was a fine day to die.[rand=5830194816874119708494625831168382280368512176055891645602939324]

[Firlaf Kaean]

Barrend to Aizhel: did you cast a bless spell to the whole party?

[shadowhart]

shadowhart to DM: Your the DM besides I don't mind having nikki with us, right guys?


shadowhart to barrend: I think lady adora cast a spell on all of the party.


DM states at page 1 where 2nd minotaur came out:

Barrend...basa... ;D

< Adora, calling upon the blessing of Heironeous, baths the area in a warm blue light that raises everyones morale. The paladin then draws her weapon and moves to flank the minotaur. Who, upon seeing an opening in the paladin's defenses, attacks her. >

[bookworm]

To Barrend: It is my understanding that Aizhel changed her action from healing you to making a full attack against the minotaur. But she did cast a bless spell on the whole party. Hope that clears things up...

To Wraith: I made a mistake with the DC for your high jump. It should have been 48 and not 80.

[Firlaf Kaean]

Barrend to DM: I see hehehe... Gomenasai! I didn't see that part. so my HP are 24 then. I didn't see the casting of bless spell either. When I got online everyone is on the new page of forum.
I'm getting a little confused with everyone stating the flow of the story when they make their actions. That's why I wait for your reply before I make my actions. Hehehe...

Barrend to Shadowhart: sorry.... hehehe... ;D

[aizhel]

Aizhel to Barrend: Sorry ha.... I don't think it’s a nice strategy if all of us heal ourselves. I wan’t to kill the minotaur as fast as we could so that he couldn’t damage us. After this encounter, I’ll heal all of you to gain your full hit points. Sorry ha….



I cast a bless spell in the 1st round
