DM Ian - The Blessing is Given Wednesday September 25th, 2013 5:49:24 PM
As the team strategizes, the proctors turn to speak with each other silently. Your sergeants look at each other nervously, unsure of what this new trial may handle. After what seems like an eternity, a familiar whistle rings out across the field. Almost instantly, green lines begin glowing on the ground, marking the territory that this trial will take part in. "Good luck," you hear Trimmack mutter. Helmbane nods in agreement as one of the proctors steps forward.
"Will all of the participants please gather around?" The human looks over at Bliss hidden under his blanket. "You will be given time to reprepare cover before the trial begins. The blessing must take place." When the Fists gather around, he requests that they all join hands in a small circle. "Lord Gargul... in this, our time of need... please grant these people your guidance so that their souls will not join you in your realm..." A few muttered words and the group's weapons glow brightly, along with a faint outline around their bodies.
"And there you have it. Your weapons will not deal lethal blows to your opponents, as theirs will not to you." With a slight nod, the proctor returns to the other two. "Your opponents will enter the battlefield three at a time, until they have all entered the area. Please prepare yourselves accordingly."
Last chance to cast spells, prepare cover. Map is here to ensure that I have everyone in the proper position.

OOC: I did have shield other prepped but to drop it cus I was an idiot and didn't purchase the focuses, in this case, plat rings worth 50g each. I would have to buy one for everyone or ask everyone to donate or buy their own. I believe that the only domain I have left provides CLW.
IC: "Lance? I don't have a lance. What would I need one for?" The centaur shrugs it off. "Maybe I'll have to think about that. It could keep creeps at a distance."

Oh.
She hadn't realized that the blessing would only apply to weapons. Pru tries to reassure herself. Her bitty little fire bolts wouldn't kill anyone. Probably. She was pretty sure. She offers a prayer of her own to Gargul, and then prayers to Domi and Alemi, for good measure. There hadn't been time for proper devotions this morning, but she would make it up later.
She takes a firmer grip on her crossbow.

Cameron moves back to 22.21 and will fire at the first enemy to enter the board. Attack hits AC 12 for 2 damage Perception 22 " Boy that's awfully close."
OOC Really wish we had known they were entering less than 20 squares from us, ranged weapons are going to be almost completely useless unless we use our own guys to hold them back. Heck, a lightly armored centaur could charge us the round that they entered. Any info on race or unit badges like Nickolai was looking for? At this range we can probably smell what they had for breakfast.

OOC: Sorry I explained it poorly. Bliss is not hiding under the "tent." It is far too fragile for that, and would likely fall down. It's just a bolt fired into the earth with a bit of cloth draped over it. BUT it acts, I hope, as a very small hilllock, maybe a foot and a half tall, two ft diameter at the base, and Bliss can hide BEHIND it.
Bliss bows his head for the blessing, especially since Gargul is a god who he personally honors. When the priest is done, he says, "Amen!"
When Bliss sees the direction from which the enemy is coming, he shouts, "Come on, everybody! RUN east to the edge of the battlefield! The more space they have to cross to get to us, the longer we have to fire at them!"
He falls prone behind his tiny hill, light crossbow loaded.

Tinker stays silent and tries to look solemn, but he's never been much on things he can't get his hands on. When he and his weapons start glowing, the dwarf gives a brief smile, certain that no one will accidentally die today.
Tinker trots to a flanking position to the left of Linden. "Well, you should", he responds jovially to the centaur, "even if it just to pretend. My Pa and Ma told me all about misdirection when I was growin' up, and it could be useful."
Checking his crossbow, Tinker waits for the first archer he sees to shoot at.

DM Ian - ROUND 2 d20+3=22 ; d6=4 ; Thursday September 26th, 2013 1:51:19 PM So it's easier to keep track of it, we'll just call this "Round 2."
With a final word of encouragement, your sergeants retreat behind the lines of the boundaries. The proctors do the same, moving to separate corners of the battlefield. Another sharp whistle rings out. The second trial has begun!
Three opponents quickly dash onto the field. One carries a bow, and stops short of their allies to fire an arrow. Carver presents himself as the largest target, and an arrow streaks towards him in the dim light, striking him in the shoulder! Carver please take 4 damage! Unfortunately for the small target, the Fists are prepared for him. Two arrows fly towards them, both taking the archer in the chest and downing the first target! (Carver and Tinker's readied attacks down the first archer!)
The other two dash forward, stopping short of the Fists. One bears a shortspear and a shield, while the other holds a longspear. They stand close to each other, eyeing you all with caution.

Perception 11 Nickolai moves to 12.12 and squints at their attackers. He notices nothing distinguishing about them. He throws another shuriken at L1 and misses again. Attack hits AC 6 after range mods.

Perception 10 Cameron looks at the oncoming attackers and notices nothing special about them. He nocks another arrow and lets fly at L1. Attack hits AC 22 after range modifiers for 6 damage Cameron then moves back another 20' to 26.22.
Bliss (Cayzle) (AC20/24, HP11 of 11) d20+8=20 ; d20+2=11 ; d6+2=5 ; d20+5=13 ; Thursday September 26th, 2013 3:40:49 PM
Bliss looks around. Perception 20.
Bliss is 210 ft away from S1 (using this calculator). A light crossbow has a range increment of 80 ft, so targets from 1-80 ft are at no penalty, from 80-160 are at -2, and from 160-240 are at -4.
Bliss's usual attack is at +6, so with the -4 for range, he hits AC11 for 5 damage.
Then he hides (sniping) at -10 on his check ... Stealth 13. Note that the rules mention it is harder to perceive things at a distance by a modifier of 1 per 10 ft distance. So the DC to spot Bliss could be as high as 33 for someone 200 ft away.

Pru notices nothing special about the attackers. On the other hand, she does actually see them this time, so we'll call it progress.
It's a bit far for her crossbow, but she's not eager to get any closer. She fires, and the bolt plows into the ground about 15 feet in front of her. [Hit AC 6]
"Oops," she says as she re-loads.

Tinker has a fleeting smile at downing the archer, similar to him picking the lock in the last trial. He takes a step back and begins the quick process of reloading his crossbow. In his mind is the crossbow drill instructor, talking through every motion: "Drop the point to the ground, step on the foot hold, with flexed thighs pull the string to the lock, raise the 'bow with right hand as the left draws and places a bolt, left hand to the stock, right hand to the trigger, and sight down range."
The dwarf, ready again, waits for another archer to show himself on the field...

Cameron lets an arrow fly at the warrior carrying the longspear. It strike them in the shoulder, but they stay standing.
Bliss fires an arrow from across the map, but at the last second (due to either skill or luck,) they bring their shield up to block the incoming missile! Luckily, due to his distance to his target, he does not notice where it comes from. (Perception: 23 vs. Stealth 13+21 from distance.)
Prudence levels her crossbow, getting ready to fire when Linden clangs his shield! The sound distracts her, making her fire the shot wide! (Attack: 6+4 from Aid Another is still a miss.)
Carver backs away, his shot missing his target.
Wiliam fires his crossbow, striking the chest of the enemy carrying the short spear. He backs up slowly, impeded by his prone state. (While prone, you can make a 5-foot step as a move action.)
Tinker readies an attack for the next archer to enter the battlefield after reloading his crossbow.
Three new enemies dash onto the field. Two bearing similar weapons to the other fighters stop short, beginning to fan out behind their allies. An archer springs onto the field, drawing an attack from Tinker, but the bolt drives itself uselessly into the ground. (Readied Attack: 13 is a miss.)
The archer raises their bow to the sky, losing an arrow that lands nowhere near any target. (Attack: 11, miss.)
The first warriors on the field move towards Nikolai, striking simultaneously with their non-lethally enchanted weapons. The warrior with the short spear smashes the half-elf in the chest, while the one holding the longspear misses wildly. Attacks: 25, 8; Crit Confirm: 7, failNikolai, please take 6 damage!

They're in range now. Pru lets another bolt fly, aiming for L1. This time, she at least gets the bolt in the general vicinity of her target--but that's about the extent of it. "Magic is easier," she mutters as she reloads again.

Bliss (Cayzle) (AC20/24, HP11 of 11) d20+15=26 ; Friday September 27th, 2013 1:44:50 PM
Bliss continues to hide as he reloads his crossbow. Stealth 26 plus distance mods make him feel pretty well hidden.
(Note that Bliss cannot reload and fire and snipe/hide again in the same round. He'll be firing every other round if he wants to remain unseen. And he does. Once he finishes his heavy semi-automatic bah, he'll be shooting pretty much every round.)

Nickolai grunts as the shorter spear slams into his ribs and ducks, avoiding the longer spear. "Rub some dirt in it and get back in there" screams his brain, and the training kicks in. In mere seconds his mind races through the risk and reward of every skill he has at his disposal. He steps to 12.11 and pulls out his Kama. With a quick move he strikes at BOTH opponents legs attempting to trip them. ( Provoke an AoO from both, but inside the reach of the longspear so no AoO) Trip longspear 9 vs opponents CMD if this fails by more than 10 he DROPS the kama Trip shortspear 21 vs opponents CMD

Cameron watches as their cohesion goes to hell. Shots fly at every member of the enemy formation and no one concentrates their fire. "Aimed shots! Ranged first, then skirmishers, then heavy infantry!" He draws a bead on the only enemy archer and fires. The target is further off but with Nickolai so close he can't take a chance of firing at the closest ones. He smiles grimly as Nickolai does his best to keep the melee troops occupied. If the Monk goes defensive now, he should be able to stymie their entire advance. Attack on A2 hits AC 18 for 2 damage ( I think the damage roller is broken ) Cameron moves to 23.19
Note to DM... L1 and S1 in the second rank should be L2 and S2 or this will get confusing fast.

Aiding Prudence again. (fail)
DM Ian As per the rules of Aid Another...
In melee combat, you can help a friend attack or defend by distracting or interfering with an opponent. If you're in position to make a melee attack on an opponent that is engaging a friend in melee combat, you can attempt to aid your friend as a standard action. You make an attack roll against AC 10. If you succeed, your friend gains either a +2 bonus on his next attack roll against that opponent or a +2 bonus to AC against that opponent's next attack (your choice), as long as that attack comes before the beginning of your next turn.
Linden can do something else this round, if you would like.

Bliss lies low, remaining quiet to avoid detection.
Tinker lets fly a bolt, which goes wide of its target.
William continues the team's streak of bad luck.
Carver continues the all-out assault, but his bolt glances harmlessly off their armor! (Ouf, just missed!)
Nikolai recovers from the hit, stepping back tos trike out at his attackers. His first attempt misses, but his second attack send the man to his back! (S1 is now prone!)
Cameron shouts out some strategic notes, levelling his bow and taking a fire at the archer, hitting them square in the shoulder!
Linden gives some kind words to his friend, but they do not seem to be working. (Aid Another only works in melee, unfortunately. Perhaps a feat pitched to the PHB might change this.)
S1 immediately tries to stand up, but Nikolai's quick reflexes keep him in place! (Attack of Opportunity: 21, Damage: 8) The warrior falls back to the ground, unconscious. His ally L1 takes a step back, but is off-put by his fallen ally. (Attack: 6, miss.)
L2 and S2 spread out further, either too afraid to approach, or employing some odd flanking strategy. A2 fires another arrow at Tinker, striking the dwarf right in the chest! (Attack: 24; Critical Confirmation; 24! Just to see if I can roll another 20: 9, nope. Damage: 19)
Three more figures move onto the field, but no shots are fired from the newcomers.
This would be a good time to note that all damage sustained in this fight is non-lethal.

Bliss gasps as Tinker is shot in the heart, it looks like! Thank Gargul this is not a lethal fight, or maybe his friend would be dead, or dying!
It makes Bliss remember his witch training with his Aunt Priscilla. If he had not ran away from that, maybe he would be able to use a potion or cast a spell or something to help his fallen comrade. It makes Bliss think that he should not give up on the lore his auntie tried to hammer into his head.
But for now, all he can do is level his trusty bah at one of the wounded enemies! He takes aim, fires, and ducks back under cover!
Shot at -4 for range 160 ft to 240 ft ... at a wounded archer who is not in melee ... hits AC 20 for 1d6+2 (using the deadly aim feat to boost damage) = 8 damage, max!
Rolling back under cover after a fine shot, Bliss gets a 1d20+5 = 11 to hide (stealth check). Not that great, but maybe the distance will keep the enemy from noticing him!

When you take nonlethal damage, keep a running total of how much you've accumulated. Do not deduct the nonlethal damage number from your current hit points. It is not "real" damage. Instead, when your nonlethal damage equals your current hit points, you're staggered (see below), and when it exceeds your current hit points, you fall unconscious.

OOC Ooops! Nickolai I deducted your damage from your hp. Tinker is right it is supposed to be separate. This means that not only can Nickolai and Carver be healed up, Tinker can be revived with healing. One note, if a heal is thrown it will paint a huge bulls eye on the caster. IC Cameron gasps as the archer takes down Tinker. He smiles as a bolt from nowhere strikes the wounded archer. Watching the second set of spear men spread out, Cameron fears for Nickolai's safety, they appear to be spreading out to charge at him from flanking positions, or at the tight knot of the ranged group. If that wounded archer still stands, Cameron shoots him to finish him off. If he is down then his shot is at the remaining archer right next to tho wounded one. His recent move puts him on the edge of short range and he lets loose another arrow. Attack hits AC 11 for 4 ( I believe that is a miss) Cameron then moves back to 27.18

Nikolai does not see what happens to Tinker and keeps his focus straight in front of him.
Nikolai, knowing that the guy can't use his weapon as long as they are adjacent to each other but has a big advantage where he is, 5' away and allowing his archer friends a good target, decides that fighting all of them alone is not a good idea. He needs to buy some time and divert their attention some.
The longspearman, by stepping back 5', also gave Nikolai the opportunity to disengage safely and he does so.
Use Withdraw action, moving to 24.12 OOC: the map shows L1 still next to Nikolai, however if he steped back to attack, he should be two squares away, thus Nikolai's Withdraw passes out of only one threatened square.
DM Ian You would be correct! My mistake.

The archer never sees it coming it strikes them in the side of their head, knocking them out!
Tinker mutters a few words before hitting the dirt.
Linden glows brightly as his ally's wounds are transferred to him. (Carver, please remove the last four damage you took, as it is now transferred to Linden.)
Cameron chalks up another miss for the group.
Prudence follows his example.
Nikolai retreats a bit to keep himself at a distance.
Carver moves back after a miss.
William levels his crossbow, looking down the sight to strike down his opponent with ease!
A3, shocked by his ally's sudden lack of consciousness, looks around for the source of the bolt fired, but sees nothing. (Perception: 14, minus distance modifiers) They instead take move forward, taking aim and loosing a missile at Carver. (Attack: 24; Critical Confirmation; 14, no crit; Damage: 5) As the arrow strikes him, the wound glows brightly and disappears, appearing on Linden's skin instead. (Linden's readied action of Sacrificial Bond takes the damage from the attack.)
Looking up, S2 gets the same idea, charging Carver with an attack! (Is Carver's AC 16 or 18 right now? If it is 16, it hits, if it is 18, it misses. Damage: 5)
L2 glares at the group of archers standing tightly together, charging in to hit what seems to be the least armoured of the bunch. Luckily, Prudence quickly dodges the incoming attack. (Attack: 13, miss)
The remainder of the enemies continue to spread out while three more join them on the field.

Prudence Gundle [AC 17; CMD 12; HP 12/12] (Kathy) d20+4=8 ; Tuesday October 1st, 2013 2:50:56 PM
Before Pru is quite aware what had happened, the longspear wielder is right in her face!
[OOC: And I'm afraid that this is the point where I have to get all pedantic, because I need to know how to avoid an AoO. The PRD says: "Reach: You use a reach weapon to strike opponents 10 feet away, but you can't use it against an adjacent foe." So Lonspear Guy can't attack Pru from where he's standing--at least, not with a longspear. So, is he using a different weapon, or is he attacking from a different square?]
If he is using a non-reach weapon, then Pru takes a 5-foot step back (taking her out of his threatened area) before performing her next actions.
If he is using a longspear from a different square, then Pru takes a 5-foot step toward him (taking her out of his threatened area) before performing her next actions.
One she reaches a (relatively) safe square, Pru sends one of her Elemental Rays right at him! And misses. Again. She drops her crossbow and picks up her own longspear (she can pick it up from an adjacent square).

Nikolai sees the mistake S2 made by going after Carver and leaving his butt exposed. He swiftly closes the gap, charging at S2 and plows into him from behind (29.13)
No damage this round, but S2 is grappled if his CMD does not beat 25.

Liinden will indeed channel to heal. He wishes he had listened better when the clerics were discribing how to channel to specific people... or maybe that is the advanced class... (Channels... urg, 2)
He maintains focus and will take further damage done to his teammates.(SB is immediate action, so I'm assuming I can refuse to use it if it would possibly drop Linden? It's not like Shield Other in that regard, which is a spell and has a focus linked to the cleric. SacBond is a granted power, and I'm assuming the God granting wouldn't want to kill off all her clerics :))

Carver takes a AoO as the Short Spearman charges him, hitting with a 21, and doing 8 damage. (melee armed with hooves) He then attacks A3 with a bow shot and misses. He then moves again.... Ending at 26,21/27,21/26,22/27,22.
1. IF the spearman is still conscious after his friends attack L2, then he'll fire off an acid dart at it - Ranged attack hits TOUCH AC 20 for 4 points of acid damage... Then he'll roll back 10' to 21,23, remaining prone (correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the max I can roll while prone? - Can you send me a link to that rule, as I couldn't find it in the Pfinder website)
2. IF L2 is knocked down by his friends, William will instead fire his xbow at A3 or A4 (whichever one is damaged), hoping to skewer it with a bolt... He'll use his move action to reload and then fire ... (Same roll works for bolt as acid (damage and attack bonus same at this level, but only hits regular AC 20 rather than Touch AC 20 for 4points of dmg...

OOC: Ken, I think what you are looking for is:
Crawling: You can crawl 5 feet as a move action. Crawling incurs attacks of opportunity from any attackers who threaten you at any point of your crawl. A crawling character is considered prone and must take a move action to stand up, provoking an attack of opportunity.
There used to be the Tumbling skill in the old 3.5 but now it's all incorporated in Acrobatics skill and 'rolling' is not addressed but there are referrences that indicate that the Tumbling is now an Acrobatics check and usually refers to when you are trying to move through threatened squares and avoiding AoO. This Move is at half speed.
Don't know if that helped but DM can figure out what to do.

Cameron takes a few steps back, firing at one of the archers, and the bolt takes them in the arm!
Tinker groans as a dark bruise quickly spreads across his chest.
Prudence takes a step towards her assailant, firing with an elemental ray that he dodges at the last second. (My apologies, he was positioned 10ft away from Prudence, so she stepped forward.)
Nikolai runs forward, grabbing the one that charged his ally in a headlock that seems inescapable! (A Combat Maneuver of 25 annihilates his CMD.)
Linden heals his nearby allies, preparing to take damage for them again. (Everyone within 30ft of your cleric, heal 2 health from Linden's channeled energy. And yes, you can refuse to use your Sacrificial Bong if it would potentially drop your character.)
Carver attacks the spearman charging him, his hooves taking him in the chest as Nikolai grabs him from behind. The terrified attacker looks back at the monk, then ahead to the centaur. He seems ready to drop his weapons and run.
William launches an acid dart at the longspear fighter, watching it eat away at part of his leather armour. (You can only move 5ft per round while prone, as the rules in Jon T's post explain. I'll track down the specific rules for you and send them in an email.)
L2 struggles with who to attack, stepping back quickly to strike at Prudence once more, this time finding a way past her magical armour! (Attack: 22; Damage: 4) Luckily, her ally is prepared for the attack, and the wound is magically transferred to him. (Prudence takes no damage, and Linden takes the damage in her place.)S2 cannot break Nikolai's grasp on his neck, struggling against the half-elf's grip. (Combat Maneuver to break grapple: 10)
The remaining fighters spread out, beginning to surround the group as they bring their spears to bear.
A3 and A4 take careful aim, both launching arrows towards the small group in the center of the battlefield. One flies at Linden while another flies to strike Cameron. The former thunks uselessly into the centaur's shield, while the latter simply falls short, driving into the ground.
The three final combatants enter the fray at the signal of another sharp whistle blast.

Perception 9 Have any of the opponents leveled their spears to receive a charge? Doing so is a readied action so I am assuming no since it is not mentioned in the post.
DM Ian With a Perception Check of 9, Cameron cannot tell whether or not the fighters have prepared for a charge. Your DM can't tell you everything, unfortunately.

Cameron makes a check to remain on Carver's back as the Centaur charges L3. Ride 5 success He then centers his aim on A3. Carver moved less than his regular move so there is no penalty for firing from a moving mount. Attack on A3 hits AC 15 for 2 damage

Nikolai does not know the full extent of the rules of this trial and does not wish to risk the possibility that his opponent is bluffing. It is hard to tell when the man's face is turning red under his grip.
He hears the tromping of hoofs behind him and a loud thud. Must be Carver, he deduces. He remembers others entering the field also. Time to dispatch this one and get on to the others.
Keep the head-lock (Continue the Grapple): CMB Improved Grapple [no AoO] d20 +2(str) +5(continue grapple) +2 (imp grpl) = 13

Carver lowers his lance, dodging an attack from the fighter he's charging (AoO: 10, miss), ploughing into their chest with his lance! The wind is knocked from their lungs as they collapse to the ground, and a loud crack indicated that the centaur may have broken a few ribs.
Cameron, positioned on his friend's back, fires an arrow as one of the achers, clipping them in the shoulder!
Prudence fires another ray from her fingertips, catching her assailant in the chest and sending him tumbling to the ground!
Tinker's bruise fades a bit as healing washes over him.
Linden backs up, sending out another wave of healing energy. (Everyone within thirty feet of Linden is healed for 3 HP.)
Nikolai maintains the grasp, and the fighter quickly passes out! Moving back, he makes it there just in time to receive Linden's healing.
Bliss stays low to avoid detection.

Pru finds herself standing alone, looking down the business end of a longspear. "How did I get to be the front line?" she asks herself. In her head, though, she hears the voice of one of her instructors, a man she had privately nicknamed Sergeant Shouty: This ain't a country club, Gundle! Everybody in the Fist can fight, and that includes you skinny, worthless mages. Suck it up!
Pru sucks it up. She's unhurt, she still has spells to cast, she knows what to do.
She steps back again, angling toward the rest of her team [to 21,20]. She points a finger at L4 and casts another elemental ray. [Hit Touch AC 24, which is a critical threat, and I believe these things can crit. Critical hit conformed to Touch AC 20. Damage is 11 if it's a critical, or 6 if it is just a regular hit.]
DM Ian From the SRD... A spell that requires an attack roll can score a critical hit. A spell attack that requires no attack roll cannot score a critical hit. I assume this is extended to your elemental rays, as well.
DM Ian Fixed that in the post. Unfortunately, with a 19, he still would have hit.

Nikolai feels the healing energies wash by him and it invigorate him. However he looks upon the battlefield with dissapointment. The enemy that is left standing is spread out to far away and his friends block his path (by a hair or two) such that he can't Charge those that are near enough.
He does notice that William seems to be worse off than Pru despite the woman's frail appearance, so he dashes towards William's side to protect him and give the wizard a chance to cast more spells.

Prudence steps back, pointing a finger at her enemy and letting a blast of elemental magic that sends the fighter flying back! They land on the ground and do not move, their chest smoking and charred.
Carver begins another charge, his lance downing another enemy!
Unfortunately, this seems to be too much for his passenger Cameron, whose arrow flies wide.
Nikolai's bruises fade as he runs up to help his ally.
William uses the moment to summon a bright, white eagle that claws and bites at their enemies! (I'll assume you took a 5ft step as a part of the full-round action to avoid the AoO from S3, who wields a shortspear.)
Tinker continues to heal, bit by bit.
Bliss reappears from behind his cover to fire on the fighter near his friend, taking them in the back and driving them to the ground!
With so few left, the remaining fighters seem to lose all sense of caution. The archers launch a volley of arrows on the group, picking out the ones that have made targets of themselves. Prudence, Linden, and William are all fired upon -- all except one are misses! (Attacks: Prudence 21, Damage: 5; Linden 13; William 7) As the arrow hits Prudence, she feels no pain, as the injury is transferred to Linden!
Seeing that the arrow did nothing, S5 raises their spear and charges the sorcerer Prudence once more, just managing to get past her magical barrier! (Attack:17, Damage: 6)L5 charges the centaur Carver, and misses fabulously. (Attack: 9, miss)

Carver steps in to 23,12/24,12/23,13/24,13. He then slaps L5 with his shield and tries to stomp him as well. He manages to do some damage with the shield and misses with both hooves.

Seeing the soldier still standing and being inside his reach ( right?) Cameron levels his bow and fires a point blank shot right into L5. Point blank shot hits AC 8 (miss)(I have never seen so many 1's and 2's in so many consecutive rounds)

Nikolai feels the healing wash over him again and he feels refreshed, like new. He surveys the scene and deduces that the most immediate threat is the shortspearman attacking Pru. He maneuvers around to his backside and goes in for the grapple.
Move to 18.22 first, then on to 18.20, then 19.20 for the Grapple.

Prudence Gundle [AC 17; CMD 12; HP 12/12] (Kathy) d20=20 ; Friday October 4th, 2013 9:55:48 PM
Pru watches in astonishment as her opponent drops to the field, chest smoking. "Please, Gargul, don't take him just yet!" she says. "I wasn't trying to kill him!"
She's uncertain what to do until Nikolai comes over and grapples her new opponent. Maybe she shouldn't cast anymore elemental rays.
Instead, she takes a step back [to 22,20], bringing her longspear into range. She tries to wave it convincingly enough to distract her opponent.
[Attack S5, using the Aid Another action. Succeed with a wasted natural 20, so Nikolai gets +2 to his AC.]
Bliss (Cayzle) (AC20/24, HP11 of 11) d20+2=12 ; d6+2=4 ; Saturday October 5th, 2013 8:02:36 AM
OOC: Sorry for being absent folks, and still not 100% back. More like 60%. Wife was sick, too much real life. Still trying to catch up, apologies! AND many thanks for allowing me an attack last round.
This round is a reload round for Bliss, but he senses that there is no need for hiding any more. He simply reloads and fires.
With a -4 range modifier, Bliss rolls a 12 against a target not in combat and with the lowest AC. Likely A5? He hits AC12 for 4 damage.

Tinker groans and rolls over, suddenly waking from Linden's healing. The dwarf immediately goes into defensive combat techniques and stands, trying to be a difficult target to hit. "Feels like a horse has been sitting on my chest", he grumbles. ..............

Carver moves forward, smacking the longspear fighter with his shield!
Cameron manages to hang on to his "mount," but the jostling sends his arrow wide.
Linden moves forward, another wave of magical healing spreading out from the cleric.
Nikolai moves forward, taking the other fighter in a tight hold!
Prudence utters a quick prayer, waving her own weapon around to distract her opponent. (Nikolai gains +2 to his AC until the next round.)
Bliss forgoes any stealth, popping back up to fire another bolt. Unfortunately, it falls short, driving into the ground with a burst of dirt.
Tinker takes in a shuddering breath, suddenly conscious again.
The archers fire a volley of arrows, striking at Carver, Linden and Nikolai. (Attacks: 8, 21, 7) The arrows against the paladin and the monk fail, but Linden's finds him with no issue. (Damage: 2)
The fighter being grappled by Nikolai attempts to break free, but cannot rid himself of the half-elf's grip. (Combat Maneuver Check: 13)L5 takes a step back and swings at Carver, striking the centaur in his chest! (Attack: 24; Crit Confirm: 10, no crit; Damage: 7)

Tinker sees that William has nailed A5, and so looks around for another target for his crossbow. The only other targets are covered by other opponents (A4) or are too close to shoot into a melee (S5 and L5). "When archers do not have a target, you will maneuver for an open shot", he openly recites from Tactics 101, and trots forward, incidentally placing his wide body in front of Prudence and the last archer.

No archers, and only two opponents. Tinker just drops his crossbow and rips his Dwarven Urgosh out from around his back. Flipping it up to a chopping position, the dwarf takes a single step and readies the axe-head to come down on S5 to ensure he stays down if he has the slightest motion showing he is not unconscious.

Pru puts both hands on her spear and looks cautiously around her. It looks as if her friends have the situation handled, but she won't relax until she hears the whistle.
[OOC: As a great woman once remarked, math is hard. :) But I think there are probably no opponents left.]
DM Ian - Ask Not For Whom The Whistle Blows... Wednesday October 9th, 2013 2:44:17 PM
As the last few enemies fall, an eerie silence, cut only by the party's heavy breathing as they recover from the battle. A familiar, sharp whistle pierces the air, quickly followed by someone shouting, "Get over there now!" A man in robes dashes onto the field, flanked by two similar people running behind them. They all stop near the felled recruits, kneeling down and uttering short prayers over the fallen.
"I believe congratulations are in order," a voice calls out behind you from the south-eastern corner of the training grounds. Orbs of light quickly fly out around you all, fully illuminating the grounds. The elf who saw you through the first trial strides towards you, followed quickly by sergeants Trimmack and Helmbane. Trimmack is beaming widely, giving the group a quick thumbs-up. However, Helmbane seems less than pleased with the situation as a whole. They all stop ten feet short of the group, looking around at you all. Bliss is called over before the speech begins.
Sense Motive DC 10 Highlight to display spoiler: {The sergeants seem to just be at odds, as they usually seem to be.} DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {Trimmack's smile is a bit weak, but Helmbane's attitude is absolute.} DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {Trimmack's smile is clearly fake, and this is the angriest you have ever seen the dwarf Helmbane. Their eyes peer around the battleground, lingering on the bodies of your fallen enemies.}
"Fists, fall in," Trimmack calls out, standing at attention a few feet behind the elven judge. Helmbane remains quiet, his face hard and stoic.
Congratulations! For completeing this trial, each character receives 600EXP! If you did not record experience from the previous combat, you should have received 500, bringing each character's total up to 1100EXP!

Tinker lowers his urgosh and collects his gear at the sound of the whistal. Dutifully, he moves to 'fall in', but gingerly. Now that the rush of battle is over, he can REALLY feel that bruise!
The dwarf is so interested in his own effects that he doesn't even try to see how others are reacting.
William the Courageous (Ken) AC 18, hp 8/8 d20+2=14 ; Wednesday October 9th, 2013 3:03:08 PM
William rises from the ground, and dusts himself off and wipes away the blood from the earlier blows... He smiles as he hears them declared as victors, and (SenseMot = 14) notices the tense relationship between the two sergeants...
At his leader's command, William puts away his xbow and joins the others in line, bringing himself to attention with a grin on his face...

Bliss breaths hard as he runs to the group. But that does not stop him from grinning as he falls in!
He flashes smiles to his teammates, as if to say, "Good job!"

The cleric is shaking, whether from excitement or pain, it's hard to tell. "Excellent! We did it." His grin is forced. "I'm spent." Linden is little concerned with relationships of anyone at the moment. He's spending most of his energy to stay upright. He's tired due to lack of sleep. In pain from the blows he HASN'T actually taken but feels none the less. And worried that the trials will continue like some sort of sadistic gauntlet of misery. He needs rest and needs to recharge. If he has to take part in another combat in less than 8 hours.... who knows how sane he might remain.
Prudence Gundle [AC 17; CMD 12; HP 12/12] (Kathy) d20=1 ; Wednesday October 9th, 2013 5:05:47 PM
As the robed men move out onto the field, Pru wants to go with them. Had she killed that recruit? She hadn't meant to. "Alemi, let him live," she murmurs. "Domi, give him strength."
Sergeant Trimmack calls for the fist to assemble, so she reluctantly joins Carver, Linden, and Nikolai in front of him. But her attention keeps wandering back to the figures lying still on the field.
She has no idea what the sergeants are thinking; she's far too distracted [Natural 1 on the Sense Motive].

Carver trots over and picks up his bow and as he nears the rest, he quietly says to the rest of their fists, "Something seems to be off, I hope it's not our performance in this test." Carver also stores his weapons and hangs the shield on his saddlebags, after shooing his passenger off his back."I'll deny that you hitched a ride if asked about it."

Sense motive 13 Cameron notices the sergeants at odds but pays it little mind. They are different and don't always see things the same way. He thanks Carver for the assist and the ride toward his opponents. Mounted combat was interesting, maybe something he would want to try again. Falling in to place he awaits the report of the Proctors.
OOC Linden, if you pray in the morning you can pray right now unless we are sent to the next trial immediately. Clerics can be DEAD tired and still regain spells, no resting is required. The only thing that might hold you back is the recent casting limit rules if you cast your spells to recently you may not get them back. Check with Ian to be sure. I am not clear how long until your granted powers like channel and sacrifice come back.
Bliss (Cayzle) (AC20/24, HP11 of 11) Wednesday October 9th, 2013 6:03:37 PM

Nikolai is surpised by S5 suddenly going limp but wastes no time, figuring his teamates had done something. He pops up and sees that the last opponent also falls.
He's not concearned with the fallen, confident in the promises made at the start of the trials and when the whisle blows andthey are called back into formation he promptly complies.
Perc +9 = 26
Nikilai forms up, feeling pretty good about their performance. Carver, though voices some concern about their sergeants' demeanor and pays close attention to how they look at the Fist forming up and how they eye each other.
"How could they not be pleased?" Nikolai whispers back at Carver. "We worked as a team, we beat them resoundedly with only one of ours going unconscous, our tactics were pretty sound..." Nikolai muses as he watches.
But what he notices he does not like. Something is awry, like Carver said. However, all lined up in formation under their scruttiny, he dare not start whispering what he notices. In moments they'll be given their score and dismissed, then he'll pass on what he perceives to be between their two sergeants.
OOC: Alexi will tell the group what's in the spoilers as soon as he can do so discretely.
DM Ian Alexi? You might be getting your games mixed up. Also, the skill required was Sense Motive, not Perception.

OOC Correct Stephen, that plus the recent casting limit so that you can't memorize a full set of buff spells, buff at the very end of your "day" and then spend an hour praying for combat spells and get double use of your spell slots.
DM Ian - Ask Not For Whom The Whistle Blows... Thursday October 10th, 2013 4:52:14 PM Tinker moves slowly, feeling the massive bruise that covers most of his chest.
William dusts himself off, putting away his weapon to stand in line with the others.
Bliss runs out from behind his cover, grinning widely as he congratulates his teammates.
Linden cares little about the disposition of his sergeant, simply happy they made it to the end.
Prudence mutters a quick prayer, hoping that she did not kill one of their enemies.
Carver picks up the weapon he lost, noticing that their leaders seem to be a bit off.
Cameron pays little attention to their sergeants, simply happy that this trial is over.
Nikolai wonders about the disposition of Trimmack and Helmbane as he falls into line.
The sergeants eye each member of the Fist with caution, Trimmack's smile still present upon his face. It is the elf that speaks first. "I may be overstepping my boundaries as a judge, but that was handled well." What you imagine is a rare smile graces his face. "You worked together well, you implemented group tactics, and you took care of your own before looking for glory. This is a large improvement over your last trial." He looks down at the papers in his hand that was bound to a small wooden board. "I am rewarding your group ten points, bringing your total up to seventeen. For those of you not in the know... that is rather good." With a nod of your head, he dismisses you all.
Your sergeants step forward, continuing to look you all over with an expression that seems to be a mixture of anger and pride. Finally, Trimmack calls out, "You're all dismissed. Go back to your rooms until the next trial. Don't go drink, don't go carousing, don't do anything. Just... go to your rooms. Sergeant Helmbane and I have a few things to discuss." The two continue standing there, clearly waiting for the lot of you to leave before they do anything.
Bliss (Cayzle) (AC20/24, HP11 of 11) Thursday October 10th, 2013 6:21:31 PM
Bliss salutes the elf and says, "Thank you sir! That means a lot."
He heads back to his bunk for a little shut-eye, but in his mind he is thinking about his Aunt Priss and how the things the witch taught him could have made him even more effective.

Cameron is torn. He want's to know, badly, what is brewing between the Sergeants. But they are standing in an open field waiting for the Fist to head back to the Barracks. He can find nowhere that he could pause unseen and wait to listen to their conversation. He is sure it will be a good one, based on the way Carver picked up their rivalry and the shocked look Nickolai had upon seeing the two of them together after the test. He stows his armor as he leaves the field and looks for an opportunity to hide somewhere within earshot of the talking Sergeants. Stealth 26 if an opportunity presents itself... Perception 4 to overhear the conversation ( figures...) Sense Motive 7

Carver, examines his bow on the way back to the barracks, making sure his dropping of it didn't really hurt it. He knew too much handling of it like that would be bad, but it was a real situation in which combat was happening. At the barracks, "Somethings bothering our Sargents, I'm hoping it was over the live fire test and not our performance. I remember they weren't very happy with the test before hand." He then heads back to his bunk area and tries to get a bit more rest.

Pru hesitates. She has been dismissed. Twice. And told, explicitly, to return to quarters. Yet she lingers.
"Are--are they going to be all right?" she asks, looking again at the field.

Bliss dismisses the idea that the seargants are unhappy. "We got a ten! That's perfect, right? What's to be unhappy about?"

OOC: Ooooops. It was bound to happen eventually. Alexi is Nikolai's father, and just so happens to be my PC from Uncharted Heroes that I retired. I've already nearly posted Alexi more tims than I can count.
Also sorry on the Sense Motive roll, i was in a hurry to get the Hook DM post up. My Sense Motive is a +7 so that roll would be a 24.
DM Ian Ahh, yes, I remember Alexi. I was constantly getting him mixed up with Anrete. I didn't know Nikolai was his son - that's really awesome!

Tinker smiles and then winces. The dwarf is happy to return to the barracks and not linger anywhere. The dwarf hefts his equipment and moves gingerly back to the barracks.
A quick wash, a slow inventory of his backpack, and collapses into bed... carefully laying on his back!

Sense Motive roll of 24
Nikolai (hey, I got it right!) salutes his sargeants but says nothing. He goes looking for his two shuriken (Perc +9 = 16) and after several minutes finds them. He pretends not to be interested in his two sargeants and heads on back to the barraks.
When there, he gathers his companions and tells them what he thinks he noticed between the two.
OOC: Read the Spoilers
He lets his friends discuss their opinions but adds nothing to it. Instead, he puts his gear away and lays back on his bunk and ponders his tactics. 'In real combat, I'd not try to defeat my enemy with minimal damage. I'd go for the kill at every opportunity. Dropping to the ground caused me to loose my grip and become caught myself. Hmm... something to think about.'

Not having heard the score of his team, the centaur preps to recover spells. He toys with the sleep option, but that is not formost in mind. Combat is not his favorite thing and yesterday and today proved it.
(OOC: Recovering spells and regaining granted powers are different. Spells require prep and granted powers recover over one day?)
[ooc: Yup, thanks for the XP.]

William trudges back to his barracks, glad that they won, but very tried and wore out from two straight trails with little break... He climbs into bed, says a prayer of thanks, and then rests so he can start memorizing spells...
