DM RobC - "It's something to discuss on the road though" Monday May 22nd, 2017 6:58:25 AM
And so, our noble adventurers depart from the Tree. Those residents that know you wave you off, while other traders keep going about their business.
The ride should take around 3 days, or so Miles informs you, and will take you via the Red Hills. Named for the color of the soil which is rich and dark red, this region is known as being both chaotic and primitive. It's not the kind of place you would let your guard down.
Miles is quite talkative along the journey. Perhaps he is just excited to travel with the Heroes of the Tree, but getting him to pause or stop talking proves tricky. The day is quite uneventful otherwise, and as the sun starts to set in the west you are quite happy with the progress made.
"... and then I said to the trader, I said arrow not marrow!" Miles erupts in laughter at his own joke.

Atlas takes the opportunity while they ride to tell Pym about their various stories. It proves a bit difficult due to the difference in height, but he doesn't want to miss this opportunity to share. He keeps it honest and focuses on his opinion of things rather than trying to speak for the others. Although he does attempt to convey the feelings of those that have departed and cannot speak for themselves. "Maybe we'll even run into one or two of them on this trip."
As the day wears on Atlas begins to get a bit uncomfortable. It has been a long time since he rode a horse for this long. As a result, his versions of their stories continues to decline until the point where he finally gives up and tells Pym he'll try again tomorrow.
OOC: Atlas will be up front as they travel, and he'll keep his normal watch order as noted in the wiki. Maybe Pym can take the 1-4, or swap with Squeaver?

d20 = 16
OOC: Our current outside marching order is this: outside: Atlas Armand Mack Beordir Squeaver Osul (Wildshaped) circling the party - 50ft away and 50ft high
We need to add in the new players, and make any adjustments anyone wants. I'd think, more then likely, we'd also be 2 x 2 while we travel. That would be my preference. Anyone else? (left / right on the order?) I'm not checking for traps as we go, but Squeaver and I can go anywhere. I have no preference.
For Standard Nightly Watch, we currently have: 20:00 - 22:00 : Atlas, Mack 22:00 - 01:00 : Mack, Squeaver 01:00 - 04:00 : Mack 04:00 - 07:00 : Armand, Beordir
That was a little more specific for spellcaster's needs and such. Some of us were pulling extra shifts because of Ring Of Sustenance or other such item, so we didn't need all the rest. If anyone wants changes, and new players, please let me know where you'd like to be added, and I'll get the WIKI updated.

That has got to have been your best bad cop ever, even though we didn't develop that routine yet."
Armand takes out his Masterwork Rhinoceros Horn Lyre, which was a gift from Carver. He looks upon it and remembers the Centaur's songs while in battle. When Atlas trails away with the tale, Armand attempts to play a little to help make the time pass.
It's not a great performance but Armand thinks it's passable (especially for having no real talent for the lyre).
Otherwise Armand remains silent, and tries to keep a watchful eye out as they travel.

Having not been around for many of the stories, Beordir listens carefully. When they get to the latest caper, he adds only minor embellishments.
He and his horse get to know each other. Beordir dyes some of his cord red and braids it into the horses mane to ease his boredom.
Once away from the Tree proper, Beordir activates his ioun stone. That does not keep him from provisioning feed for his horse.

'Osul checks the weather ahead for the day and shares his prognostication with his companions. After gathering more fruit in his backpack he departs The Tree with the party in the shape of an eagle (where he is looking for trouble ahead, aside, or behind). After catching up in human form, he returns to the air as an elemental, and gets more experience in that form (after their last venture out). He rejoins the team in human form, providing advice on the path ahead, and after dinner and conversation, tries being the campfire, as a fire elemental, and taking his rest.

I watch Osul change from form to form throughout the day, very impressed. And I dream of someday being able to do just a fraction of that.
OOC: Sorry about dropping you off the Night Watch, Osul. I think I over-cleaned last month. My bad. Where do you want to be on the Night Watch, and I'll put you back on?
DM RobC - "...probably to our doom." Tuesday May 23rd, 2017 8:49:33 AM Atlas and Armand work together to tell tales of the party. There are parts where Atlas gets a little tongue-tied, but Armand helps him along.
Mack tries to use some sort of animal telepathy to get Miles' horse to bolt. Nothing happens. This time.
Beordir and his horse get to know each other in a "friends only" kind of way. He even provisions some feed for the horse.
After trying a few different forms Osul returns to human form and checks the sky. He's pretty sure the weather is going to be fine for the next few days.
Watches are set, and the horses corralled together.
With the clouds covering the stars and moon, it is very dark. The night is quiet for the most part. Turns out that Miles talks even in his sleep!

The smell of bacon and eggs wakes up those not on the last watch. Miles has cooked. "Breakfast is ready! Who's hungry?"

We started a summer feeding program for area kids and there were things that I had not realized needed to be done before we started. Anyway thats the 4-1-1, time to get back to the show!
Waking up instantly at the words "Breakfast is ready!" Pym stands up and stretches, "Everything smells great! Thanks Miles." Pym looks at what is ready and helps himself to a portion.
"You know, this reminds me of the time Drogeos and I were on the road and he wanted to cook...." Pym trails off rambling about there are people who were made for cooking, and people made for axe wielding...
Pym is willing to take any shift for watch, and willing to stand anywhere in marching order. Well maybe not first or dead last in the marching order...
Dragon Consortium: After a brief read this would be something that Pym would be interested in. Think of the Legendary Tales of Glory that will go down in history... and he will be there to tell them first hand? Count Pym in!!

Finishing his morning prayers to Gargul, Armand turns to the group. "Alright people, we're a day out from the Tree. Time to put away the party face and put on our game face. It can be dangerous traveling. Let's be on the alert and meet danger like it's meant to be met, with weapon in hand and spell on lips!"
Armand eats his breakfast quickly and sees to 'both' of his horses. Though spending more time with Bregga, the horse he 'inherited' from Gaston.
On the ride Armand will try to pay attention to what's around him.

While comfortable about the route having never travelled to Plateau City, Beordir considers a moment what O'sul and everyone suspects. It's possible Miles has a good reason for choosing this direction.
He shrugs, "There may be a problem surely. We are going to remain suspicious and watchful. Here's hoping we can avoid a trap. Given what others know of our capabilities, I suspect it will be overkill. "

'Osul completes his meditations. And while he happily joins in on the breakfast "Thank you Miles.", most of what he eats (and shares about) is fruit from The Tree.

Atlas is suspicious of the breakfast, but his belly overrides his concerns and he manages to quickly devour his share while wishing there was more.
"Armand, you are spot on, time to focus. The Red Hills are not to be taken lightly. My bad cop will be on full display, don't you worry!"
Atlas stays alert during their ride. He has been this way a few times before, so he looks about to see if anything is different about this trip from his previous ones.
"Regarding the Dragon Consortium, I think that entry would only help us in our mission to help the Tree. Imagine the good we can do, not to mention the prestige we would bring with us to the Tree. I think they would appreciate that. Anyway, maybe we ask around when we get there to see how we can go about getting an invite. I heard there might be trials of entry as well. That sounds fun if I am being honest!". Atlas keeps his eyes peeled, but he does dream a little about what he has heard, wondering how much is rumor and how much is true.
DM RobC - "My bad cop will be on full display, don't you worry!" Wednesday May 24th, 2017 7:11:57 AM
Those that tuck into the breakfast are pleasantly surprised. Despite being cooked over a fire instead of in a tavern, these may be the best eggs and bacon you have ever tasted. The bacon is slightly salted and cooked just enough to render the fat, giving it some crunch. The eggs, oh the eggs. The eggs taste as if they were laid by heavenly chickens.
Miles doesn't just know how to eat food. Apparently he can also cook it very well. He seems pleased as you enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Beordir and Osul consider the path that Miles is taking the party on. They're confident he is taking them to Plateau City, and the course seems about right (Highlight to display spoiler: {Using the map here - http://www.woldiangames.com/Woldipedia/index.php/Geography:_Izen - it looked like the distance was equal whether the party went north or south around that forresty bit. Further, the way onto the Plateau is from the north: http://www.woldiangames.com/Woldipedia/index.php/Geography:_New_Elenna. So your DM decided that Miles would take the party the north route. If there's any confusion or suspicion it's purely DM fault. Not Miles....})
"So we made good progress yesterday, but we've still got a way to travel. How's everyone doing? Any saddle sores?" Miles asks as he cleans away his frypan. "Where did you want me to ride? Probably up front to help direct where we're going"
----------------------------- OOC: Apologies for slowing things down a moment. We've got a new player about to join in the next day or two and I don't want things to progress too quickly. Never fear! I will attempt to start killing you guys off shortly :)

Responding to Miles.... "I'm not sure if it's best to check for road traps by having you 50' in front of us all, or if you should be a lot closer so you don't signal an ambush." I smile, joking of course. :)
As usual, I don't give any real help in any decisions needed here.

Armand fishes an apple out of his saddle bag. He looks at Miles. "Hey Miles, CATCH."

Beordir shifts a little at Miles' comment, but shrugs, "Nothing another couple of days won't resolve. I'd rather Mack was out front, he's got the best skills at finding trouble."
Later, he asks O'sul, "Can you speak to us in animal shape?"
'Osul(Graham) AC:11 (T:11, FF:10), CMD:17, HP:46/46 Wednesday May 24th, 2017 11:58:44 PM "Whoever is on point should remember I'm always nearby.", he chimes in after Beordir, with a smile.
Later, 'Osul considers Beordir's question, and eventually responds with, "I think I understand what I could understand if I was not wild shaped, but my ability to talk is restricted to the natural sounds of the form. The air elemental can communicate with its own language, so I expect I could hold a conversation with someone who knew that language. This sounds like something worth further investigation."

Miles looks at Mack suspiciously "No, when the ambush happens I'll be at the rear to stab you in the back" He pauses to let that sink in before he laughs loudly.
Armand decides to test Miles' combat expertise. He gives the elf a warning (thereby giving him time to draw his rapier) and then tosses an apple. Miles' focuses but manages to skewer the apple mid flight Highlight to display spoiler: {Your DM had to guess the AC of a flying apple, and then rolled Miles' attack roll in secret}. He takes a bite from the apple and then holds the rest out for his horse to eat. "I'd throw some food back, but that would mean giving away food"
Osul and Beordir have a discussion about the languages a druid could speak while wildshaped. Osul sums it up quite well.
Atlas wordlessly prepares to ride, and Pym provides some riding music - lifting everyone's spirits.
-----------------------------------
Late in the afternoon Miles is rambling on - what is it this time? The first pony he ever owned? Between talking and eating this guy must have the strongest jaw muscles in the entire Wold!
It has been quite a warm day and the sun is setting behind the party and casting shadows before you. Hills covered in red dirt surround the dirt road on both sides.
Miles stops talking as a scream is heard in the distance. Not just one scream though. It's the sound of a number of screams. Women's screams. There are some dots on the road ahead - some 600ft away at least.

Armand is a little more cautious. He moves ahead, but considerably slower. With the others in his way he can't see much of what's going on. He determines that it is Mack's fault.
Osul flies 200ft closer to the dots ahead. He can see they are at ground level and of considerable size but can't see any finer details from this distance. He in unable to tell if the screams were a result of the party, something the party triggered, or simply random. Highlight to display spoiler: {What form is Mack in again? Small Air Elemental?}

Looking back up into the sky he yells, with urgency, " 'Osul, what's ahead?"

(2) Because they can perform a mounted charge, Atlas and Mack (and 'most everyone) can outpace 'Osul, so, pending better tactics, think of him less as advanced scout and more like aerial support. Unless it is something he sees first, in which case he will investigate, return and resume human form to report something serious. If it is not so serious then you will see him resume his over-watch.

The party draw nearer and can now make out the scene.
Six wagons have been arranged in a circle. They look to be on the defensive as 6 creatures are flying overhead, circling the wagons and raining arrows down on them. The scream of a hysterical woman can be heard as can the noise of crying children.
Three figures lay on the ground, unmoving. Arrows are being shot into the air from those surrounded by the wagons, while the flying creatures laugh in response. The arrows don't look to be shot with great accuracy.
"BATTLE!!!" Miles screams, pointing his rapier in the direction of the creatures.
It is enough to gain the attention of the fliers.

His horse already moving, Beordir nevertheless attempts a spell to protect him from arrows. Once complete, he turns his attention to urging his mount faster. With his eyes on the LARGE creatures in the sky, he cries, ”Try and get one near a tree. I’ll try and tangle it up there.”

As far as I can tell, I don’t need a ride check. Light horse has a base speed of 50. A double move is 100 feet. Run is x4 which is 200 feet. I assume I can get the horse to run down a clear road to AA52. That’s where I would prefer to be.

Atlas calls out a challenge to the flying monsters. He's pretty sure they're the bad ones in this situation.
"That's the spirit! YAH!!!" Miles matches Atlas' speed
Beordir casts a spell to protect him from arrows - which seems wise considering the circumstance. He spurs his horse closer to the action. He looks about the vegetation but unfortunately does not see any trees. There are simply small shrubs, cacti and other small such things.
Pym rides Hank as hard as he can towards the scene.
Now that the party are closer you can make out what is going on in a bit more detail. The creatures in the air look like flying trolls wearing lots of jewellery. You can't see any wings on them, and they are each armed with a bow an greatsword.
Osul identifies the creatures as Oni - a race of evil spirits known to take humanoid form. The large tusks and pale blue skin give it away.

Desperate to get these things to divert from the civilians and precieve the newcomers as a threat, Beordir drops his reins, nocking an arrow. Letting the horse run on, he unclenches his knees so it will slow down.
As he rides closer, he targets the nearer creature still flying over the wagon, rather than the one in the road.

Atlas shakes off the spell that was thrown at him and thanks his new cloak for the help. However, as he dismounts he is jarred by one of the arrows. "You got blood on my new cloak! You're going to pay for that."
As he draws his sword and shield he looks about for signs of those that have vanished. "Face me you cowards!"
"Hey Armand, next time we need to put Mack's dog on a leash so that he doesn't rush in like that. Then we can get take the time to get some proper buffs going! It's all his fault, you know I had to go after him to protect him, right? Granted, we might all die now instead...that would be bad.

I more cautiously approach the wagon group (making sure not to provoke AoOs). After casting my normal Toros's Taur Try: Minotaur on myself, my main intention is keeping an eye out for the 2 that went invisible, so as to warn the others:

"I suggest finding cover.", as he explicitly does not follow his own advice.

Armand takes 31pts damage and must make a concentration check vs DC47 to cast finish his casting of Bless)
Pym continues to ride forward as fast as Hank's legs will take him.
Beordir guides his horse with his knees and manages to fire a very accurate arrow into E5.
Atlas shakes off the spell with moderate effort, his cloak certainly helped. He can't see the invisible Oni no matter where he looks. He taunts them to come closer - fight him man to man-monster.
Mack casts a spell on himself and then moves closer to the wagons. He isn't able to make it all the way though. From where he stands he can't see the invisible Oni, but he does notice that the two nearest downed humans aren't dead! He can see their chests rise and fall as they breath. Their eyes are closed though. Are they sleeping?
Osul begins casting a summoning spell.
Kero forgets about his bow for the time being and instead grabs a shield from one of the nearby half-elves.
The enemy act...
E1 still doesn't appear.
E2 does though. It appears north east of Osul and takes a shot at him but misses widely (Hit AC11. Nat1 = Miss!)
E3 laughs at E2 and tries to show him how it is done. The shot - though shaky - hits (Hit AC13. Osul takes 17pts damage and must make a concentration check vs DC31 to cast finish his casting of SNA IV)
E4 laughs loudly at Atlas and respond in common "Why would I do that? It's so much fun killing you slowly like this. Slow, painful, and nothing you can do to stop me" It fires an arrow at Atlas but misses (Hit AC12 = Miss!)
E5 casts a spell at Mack and Squeaver! (Mack to make a Will Save vs DC16 or fall asleep. If Mack passes, Squeaver then has to make the same save) Spellcraft DC18 Highlight to display spoiler: {Deep Slumber}

Hoping that they will leave Squeaver alone now that he is sleeping, I continue on to the bodies by the wagon. I'm hoping they are just sleeping as well. If they need aid due to bleeding, I perform that to get them stable. Otherwise, if they have a distance weapon nearby, I grab it and take what cover I can in the wagons until I am ready with any new weapon. If needed, I pull the sleeping bodies to better cover as well.

Beordir slips down from his horse, nocking another arrow as his feet hit the ground. He slaps the horse off toward the right of the road as he stands his ground. He doesn't bother to fire at the one up the road, but keeps concentrating on the one close to his friends.

Mack stays standing but Squeaver goes down. Hopefully not permanently. He makes it over to the human at AK31. Mack is now certain the man is just sleeping. He doesn't look like a solider or guard, but more like a farmer of trader of some kind. Whoever he is, Mack doesn't stop to wake him and instead grabs the shortbow and arrows by the mans side.
Armand moves for the foliage, but unfortunately it just isn't as grown as he would have like (Highlight to display spoiler: {Per DM post 31st May: "He looks about the vegetation but unfortunately does not see any trees. There are simply small shrubs, cacti and other small such things."}). After healing himself up he calls for Osul's aid.
Pym sings a merry tune to spur the party on to victory. He even bolsters the power of his arrow, but in all his efforts he gets distracted and his arrow flies wide.
Beordir masterfully dismounts and gives his mount a firm slap to get it on its way. He nocks and arrow and watches it sail over the oni to land somewhere distant in the dirt.
Atlas decides now is the time to engage in some ranged combat. He attacks E5 but only manages to hit it once.
Osul sends his air elemental whirling through the Oni, but it doesn't have much effect. (Highlight to display spoiler: {The AE is unable to make its slam as "A creature in whirlwind form cannot make its normal attacks", also, turning into a Whirlwind is a standard action as it's activating a SU ability. Also, please see this Rules forumdiscussion. The whirlwind from a medium sized elemental is treated as size medium})
He streaks over to the wagons and summons a fog cloud just above them to provide cover to the people below. No matter where he looks, Osul can't see the invisible Oni anywhere
Without a missile weapon, Miles charges about to try and make himself a target.
Kero goes to the first wagon and looks inside. Two women are huddled there with five children - 3 boys and 2 girls. All the children are under the age of 12. One of the boys - the eldest of the group has a serious look on his face (obviously trying to look brave) while the younger children cry and sob. One little girl looks to Kero, and with tears in her eyes asks "Are we going to die?"

He fires an arrow towards it but misses his mark (Highlight to display spoiler: {Flanking only applies to melee weapons unless there is some ability I've overlooked})
He keeps his eyes open but just can't spot any invisible creatures right now.
Beordir wisely suggests the party focus their attacks on one creature at a time. He moves closer to the one attacking Armand but misses.
Pym backsteps a little and fires an arrow at E3. He's pleased with his shot and let's everyone know about it. In all the excitement he overlooks that he actually missed (Highlight to display spoiler: {AC to beat is 21 not 18 :)})
Atlas, however, is in good form. His arrow flies straight and true.
Armand heroically uses his horse as a living shield (yep, soft cover grants a +4 AC bonus). Of course, that means the Oni also has cover from him. Armand begins casting a spell, triggering the readied action of E6. It fires an arrow at Armand, but his meat shield bears the brunt of it (Hit AC19 = Miss! But the horse bolts on being struck) Armand fires a searing light at E3 and hits it quite convincingly.
He tries to think of any weakness that they may have, but if anything, all he can think of is that these Oni are not showing the signs of regeneration that they are known for, praise the Gods! If they were true mages they would also have other spells at their disposal, wouldn't they? Are they holding back? Have they already cast their spells for the day?
Osul pleads with his elemental to bash the Oni, but its slam attack misses. He begins casting a spell to bring some pain to the monsters.
With little success with the crossbow, Kero drops it to the ground and draws his sword. He has no idea who these strangers are, but they seem to be on his side.
The enemy act...
Enemy 1 finally appears.. on the ground.. behind Pym! (Hit AC28 plus bonuses from being invisible. Pym takes 10pts damage) "Don't worry, little one. It will be over soon"
Enemy 2 sees Osul begin casting a spell and tries to interupt him! Fortunately Osul elemental form is a bit trickier to hit (Hit AC18 = Miss!)
Enemy 3 laughs on seeing Pym get attacked and turns his attention elsewhere. It fires an arrow at Beordir and misses badly (Hit AC17 = Miss!)
Enemy 4 rolls its eyes. "This thing is not worthy of my time. I want something I can eat. Like you!" It descends to the ground and attacks Mack (Provokes an AOO from the Elemental. Hits AC33. Mack takes 13pts damage) Mack gets the impression that he was very lucky that wasn't critical.
Enemy 5 takes a shot at Beordir! (Hit AC29. After Prot from Arrows, Beordir takes 4pts damage)
*Mack: What's 'IC'? I'll mark the Oni on the ground in a different color to help distinguish them.

Beordir calls out, "Two on the ground. Pym, fall back toward us."
He steps over toward Squeever, pulls out the wrapped ration and some string and binds up his major wound, hoping that's enough to keep him alive. Once complete, he stands back up, bow back in hand.

OOC: Sorry on that flanking, getting my rules mixed up between different game systems. ;) No flanking with ranged weapons... I just verified. The IC was for Inspire Courage from Pym, which I thought we still had. With that, even without the Flanking bonus, I believe I still hit with the arrow (AC 21 instead of 23). Speaking of IC / Inspire Courage.... is that off? I'm rolling attacks this round as if it's off. Otherwise, both of my hits do an extra +2 damage.
IC; "ah-HAAA!!!!!" I say at E4 as he lands in front of me. Without dropping my bow and arrows, I 5' step (from AO31 to AO32) and have at him with my Flurry!
(flurry of blows: d20+10 for each blow, and d4-1 damage, +1 to hit and +1d6 fire damage on first attack from flaming tear Hit AC 30 for 3+1 damage, and AC 27 for 2 damage)
If anyone happens to Flank E4 at the same time I'm attacking, that would grant me an addition 1d6 Sneak Attack damage: 6 and 6

Atlas drops his bow and draws his longsword. (OOC, don't know if he can bring down shield as part of his move action either.....DM?)
He moves to AO35 providing flank for Mack. (I assume this will provoke, but I also figure Atlas would prefer melee to bow) Atlas shouts "Pick on someone your own size!, Oh, wait, you've already proven you're afraid to do that."
He then strikes at E4. To hit 31 (d20+14...opps +2 for flanking and +2 more if inspire is still going) Damage 11 (d8+6....+2 more if inspire is up)

He looks to deliver some first aid, but looking at Squeaver he decides on another course of action. All it takes is one quick slap and Squeaver wakes up.
Armand delivers both a stunning retort and a searing ray of fire. The flyers are remaining 50ft up in the air, but have stopped circling the wagons to focus on the party.
Mack sees an opportunity to fight, and steps towards E4 to hurt it again. As he does Atlas coordinates an attack. The pair flank the Oni and deliver some good damage. The Oni swings at Atlas and hits (AoO Hit AC21. Atlas takes 15pts damage!)
Osul calls down 2 lightning bolts (OOC: Please note the DC of the Lightning Bolts since I think a Ref save = half damage)
The air elemental slams into the E2 as is sails past.
Pym is completely surprised by the Oni that appears behind him. He tumbles away - just - and takes a short at the Oni, but misses in all the excitement.
Kero looks into the sky but it is clouded by the Fog Cloud that Osul cast. It offers good protection from above; noone can see through it.
The enemy act...
E1 laughs at Pym"Don't run away little one. You'll just die tired" It pursues him and attacks. The gods must be favoring Pym today and the greatsword swings just over his head (Hit AC15. Nat1 = Miss!)
E2 decides that trying to hit Osul with a bow isn't working very well. It drops its bow to the ground and approaches Osul with sword drawn (Hit AC32. Osul takes 16pts damage!)
E3 also tosses its bow away and lands to fight face-to-face with Armand (Hit AC25. Armand takes 14pts damage)
E4 has taken quite a beating. He now has 2 targets to fight though. Mack dealt the most damage and that's who the Oni focuses on (Hit AC26. Mack takes 11pts damage!. "You look tired, little one. Lie down now and take a rest, and I promise I will end your life quickly"
E6 continues to hold his bow at the ready, as he scans each member of the party.
Miles, meanwhile, has been rallying the humans by the wagons. They each have a shortbow now and are targetting the Oni. You can hear Miles scream "READY!"

Armand once again considers that the Wardens really need a coded language so they can call out battle plans without the opponents getting wise.
Armand follows the following path (because he wants to stay out of reach and not provoke) He moves to AM46, AL47(first diagonal counts normal), then proceeds along line 47 to AH47.
Lord Gargul, hear my request. It is time for these Oni to join you in the holy land of death.

Squeaver gets up as best he can, and only seeing E4 engaged in hand-to-hand combat, he works his way that direction as best he can. (DM discretion... not sure how far he can move this turn still. Normal is 50', and he'd go the long way to avoid any AoO.)

Beordir drops his bow where he stands and touches the amulet at his neck. A pale turquoise field snaps into existance, barely visible surrounding Beordir and those nearby. Eying the position of the blade wielded by the one that attacked Pym, Beordir shifts subtly to avoid getting hacked by it as he fades back.

As promised, I will be applying a +1 bonus to every d20 roll you have made this round
Armand does his best to avoid provoking an attack but manages to perform 2 moves that each provoke an attack. Fortunately the Oni does not have combat reflexes (AM45 is a threatened sqaure as is AM46. Refer Large Tall). AoA Hits AC32. Armand takes 16pts damage!)
Armand still has the strength to draw on all his power and release two energy channels. E3 dies and slumps to the ground whilst E1 looks considerable worse for wear.
Mack sidesteps and unleashes a flurry of blows against E4. Squeaver gets quickly to his feet and takes the long way around, keeping outside of reach of any oni.
Beordir awkwardly tumbles provoking an AoO from E1. Fortunately E5 is still 50ft in the air and unable to reach him. (AoO hits AC30. Beordir takes 12pts damage!). He protects himself once safely out of reach.
Osul moves away from the Oni and drops another lightning bolt right on top of it. The bolt strikes the Oni and the ground below. Fortunately none of the settlers were underneath. The air elemental makes a flyby attack, provoking an AoO from the Oni (Whereas the last flyby was against an Oni with a bow, this one has a greatsword. Hit AC24. Air Elemental takes 15pts damage!. Calling a lightning bolt is a standard action. Osul's fly speed is from EB1 so I think his airspeed is 60ft. He can't make it from AO26 to AY40 in 1 round) From what he can determine, Mack is the most in need of healing.
Kero readies himself to attack the first enemy he sees on the ground.
Pym continues his performance and takes a shot at E1, hitting it squarely in the chest.
"LOOSE!!!" comes the cry from Miles. E4 and E6 finds themselves on the receiving end of several shortbow arrows.

If Squeaver can get to AO32 (go up on the wagon and drop down) and flank E4 without drawing an AoO, he does so (I believe he can, since he can move up to 50'). If not, he moves directly in to AN34 to attack.

DM RobC - "Ha, I laugh at your feeble attempts at combat." d20+14=18 ; 2d6+7=17 ; d20+10=14 ; 2d6+7=16 ; 2d6+7=12 ; d3=1 ; d20+14=34 ; d20+14=15 ; 2d6+7=14 ; d20+14=27 ; 2d6+7=14 ; Saturday June 10th, 2017 12:37:14 AM Pym swiftly falls asleep and starts to dream of second breakfast. Mmmm... breakfast.
Beordir is as confused as the DM. Since it didn't harm Beordir, then no harm no foul. Being immune to the sleep effect he is completely fine.
Squeaver and Mack do their best to finish off E4. The damage they do is just not enough. Mack decides to use Squeaver as s hield as he backs away.
Osul is glad the spell didn't affect him. Although on the bright side, dying in his sleep would have been a peaceful way to go. (Highlight to display spoiler: {You are correct about the length of the lightning bolts. I thought they went all the way to the ground. E2 is at 100ft})
The air elemental moves to flank with E2, provoking an AoO (Hit AC18 for 17pts damage. Not sure the AC or HP of the AE)
Osul flies southwest and calls another lightning bolt.
Atlas continues to taunt the Oni, and his sword cuts as deep as his words.
Armand cast a Holy Smite at E5. It's eyes glaze over for the moment (Blinded for 1 round!)
The enemy act...
E1 grins evilly and walks over to Pym, thrusting his greatsword down through Pym's chest (5ft step north. Deliver coup-de-grace. Pym takes 28pts damage and must make a Fort Save vs DC38 or face Gargul!)
E2 descends and lands near Atlas!
E4 is surrounded. He lashes out at the nearest oppenent and hits them quite solidly (d3=1=Air Elemental. [i]Hit AC34. Crit not confirmed on AC15. AE takes 14pts damage!)
E5 is blind. It remains flying but isn't precisely sure where to attack
E6 laughs as E1 stabs Pym. It walks toward Beordir and attacks! (Hit AC27. Beordir takes 14pts damage!)
Miles nods to Armand and calls out "Concentrate on the nearest Oni. Draw..... LOOSE!" Three arrows are fired at the nearest Oni (E4), dropping it in its track!
One dead, one dying, and two Oni near death. Are our heroes getting the upper hand?

Summoned Elemental AC is 19, as per the Private Post from Friday June 2nd, 2017 2:46:26 AM, so he gets missed on the AoO, but takes the brunt of E2s last act of defiance, but non critical. ————— Summoned Medium Air Elemental - Round 6 of 7: hp 1/30 moves around (north and western sides of E6, and passing over Pym) to AD40@+5' to attack E1 {AC21 for 6 damage, again}. ————— 'Osul flies west 30' and down 30' to AD43@+80', and drops another bolt {2 bolts and 65 rounds remain} - on E1 again - for 10 damage {DC20 on Reflex save for half damage}. Unless he is very lucky, he knows it doesn't look good for Pym. He reflects on what The Wood could do to aid his predicament, as he hopes to take the cowardly Oni down.
Armand (Robert D) AC 17/touch11/flat15 HP 19/50 CMD 17 Character Sheet Saturday June 10th, 2017 9:34:42 AM
POINT OF ORDER - I was casting Holy Smite at a location that would affect E5 and waiting on it only if he descended. E1 and E6 were in the blast radius of 20 feet. They both should have taken 24 points damage or 17 if they saved (and avoided being blinded.
DM Rob: It sounds like you were readying an action. A readied action being triggered "if E5 descended". I give you the choice: a) Your spell went off, E5 took full damage and is blinded for a round b) E5 stays where is is currently flying, casts a spell against the party, doesn't descend, and you keep your spell.
Robert D says A: Not sure a spell against the party is going to go well and B is not going to save Pym from the coup-de-grace... His only hope is spending hero points right?

OOC: Ouch. I was trying to use the wagons as shields, not Squeaver. I feel very selfish now. I preferred to think of it as Squeaver providing a strategic distraction, in case we didn't finish him off last round.

Armand sees the Oni's slash into poor Pym's sleeping body. A tear comes to his eye.
He marches to AI41 and channels to heal (excluding the 3 oni in range.) In range of healing will be Armand, Pym(?), Beodir, and 'Osul(if he is in range, but I think he's too high). Heal 10.
Armand sighs, Gargul is does not seem to want to grant the healing touch right now.
Armand spends a hero point and cast Protection from Evil on himself.
Protection from Evil: +2 AC against Evil, +2 on Saves

Replying to Kero, "Heck yah, it's merely a flesh wound." I practically fall over, then wipe my hand in a bunch of the blood and paint war marks across my cheeks.
Seeing Pym is in serious trouble off in the distance, I look over my not-so-great options quickly. I can't get that far, and I don't see another one that we seem to be concentrating on (at least not hand-to-hand). I use my action to drink a Healing Potion (healed 7, and then Squeaver and I advance as quickly as possible in Pym's direction, and flank E6. (Squeaver moves from AO32 to AJ37, and I move from AO31 to AJ34, taking the long way if necessary so as to not give them free attacks on us.)
I use a Hero Point to take make a flurry once I get there.
(flurry of blows: d20+10+2(flank) for each blow, and d4-1 damage+1d6(sneak), +1 to hit and +1d6 fire damage on first attack from flaming tear Hit AC 25 for 1+2+3+1 damage, and AC 24 for 3+2+4 damage)
Squeaver, AC 17, HP 26, Speed 50 (bite, claw, claw: d20+7+2(flank) for 1d4+1,1d2+1,1d2+1 +1 to hit and +1d6 cold damage on first attack from frost tear Hit AC 28 for 3+2 damage, Miss AC 16, and Hit AC 24 for 2 damage)

It was just brought to my attention that it is possible? Yes I understand I still need a Natural 20 to save it, but I would still be willing to burn a Hero Point for the chance of a Nat 20.... I will roll it and let the DMs decide.
HOLY COW!!!!!!!!! Natural 20.... Pym would still be a -3 if allowed to use a Hero Point in this way.
To make my case, I am new and was not 100% sure of all the uses for Hero Points..... so...

As the pale teal enchantment fades, Beordir eyes the nearest....thing's monstrous sword, but casts regardless. A bright yellow disk starts to form, but fades as Beordir's posture is not quite right. Only by sheer force of will does it finally form complete to defend him
He steps toward the thing on the ground and forms up in a defensive posture. His tense muscles ease as Armand's light filters through the battle.
(OOC Standard Action - Cast Sheild Defensively d20+9=16. Grrrr. Missed by one. I really need this now, so I'm goin to Hero Point it to get a +1 on that roll. I had wanted to attack E6 this turn. Move Action - Move to AJ 37
Did we actually heal 10 Hp?)
