Game Meet 14

[Laharl]

Ranmor stabs one of the trolls with his duom, attempting to send it flying into its friends [Power Attack +14, Emerald Razor], screaming "Get me some backup!".

[Zanaikin]

The troll attempts to hold his ground but his support and balance gives in to the might behind Ranmor's blow as it was sent hurling back. Its body rammed into a second troll behind, causing both to lose balance and fumbling back onto the body of a third troll before they were stopped.

Talence realizes that his sword has already stopping performing. His back against the wall, Talence clears his throat before launching into an Misalin battle-chant. His sword quickly picked up the rhythmic chant with him, pouring out upbeat phrases that carries the feeling of bravery and hope (Inspire courage: +3 morale to attack, weapon damage, and will saves vs. charm/fear).

Dolch notices the rattling of chains and the grunts of ogres as they climb the gatehouse and its nearby walls. He takes another vial off his belt and drinks it (healing 3d8+5 = 18HP). With only one more healing potion remaining, he closed his eyes and made a silent prayer before swapping his shortsword back to his right hand, leaning against the battlements, and preparing to attack the foe that will come over the walls at any moment.

(Oh, okay.)

Jens focuses a thought towards whatever is making the voice in his head. :Right, I'll deal with you shortly.: He assesses the situation. "Hmm. guys climbing the wall, guys in the gatehouse. On one hand, we've got somebody tying up the gatehouse, and don't need those ogres coming in behind him. On the other, if the trolls get past him... Okay."

He gets to a position from which he can target the inside of the gatehouse. "Hm. Roof, so flamestrike's probably not going to cut it. Let's add something else, instead..." He targets his spell carefully so that it won't affect Ranmor. "See how you guys like it. Evard's Black Tentacles!"

(grapple modifier: 14+8=22)

[Squall255]

oh, well then, Himlor moves over to Dolch in order to set up flanking for the first ogre over the wall. If I can attack one that is scaling right now, i do so.
(Current AC=Conditional AC on sheet =39IIRC)



Damage: (3 acid)

[Laharl]

(Your AC is a few points higher than that, Drew's AC aura gives us all +3 and the Recitation Talence cast a while back gives us +2 for non-Church of Misalin worshippers, +3 otherwise)

[Zanaikin]

Buumstik and Ranmor watches as the ground beneath the gate passage erupts with tentacles, which attempts to grab and hold the trolls. The trolls struggled through the twisting masses, their strength allowing themselves to break free of the tentacles' holds, at the expense of considerable impedance to their movement.

Buumstik hears the voice continue in his head: "Who I am is of no concern right now, although I will consider it... after the much enjoyed analysis of your potential." The last part resounded with a grim satisfaction and a hint of bloodlust.

(Unfortunately Himlor's sight and reach is kept from attacking due to the height of the battlements, particularly since he'd have to lean over it to see the ogre climbing below them. In the meantime Himlor readies himself against the wall on one side of the hooked chain, with Dolch on the other, ready to attack the climber once he reaches over.)

Finally reaching the bottom of the stairs, Kati quickly moves into position beside Ranmor ((move action)). Seeing the oncoming trolls being slowed by the disturbingly familiar tentacles that appeared from the ground, she draws her sword, expands it to its full 15' length, and rushes towards the trolls. Divine energy surrounds her as she slashs the troll, the energy flowing into her when she hits it. "The reinforcements are almost here! The archers will be here any second now!"

((moving and attacking a random troll in front of me with Revitalizing Strike. Attack Roll: . Damage Roll: 3d8+2d6+17-> [3,3,6,2,6,17] = (37). +3d6 = from Drew's Aura. Heals 2 from Martial Spirit and from Revitalizing Strike))

[Mr_Praetorian]

"Let battle be joined!" Derovarr called out, ad he rushed to the aid of his ally, alongside Kati. He raised his halberd to about mid height, and moved to engage nearest troll [that Kati wasn't attacking]. As he struck the vile beast, he called upon the divine energy of the Gods, asking it it to not only bring down his opponenet, but also revitalize his comrades as well.

After concluding his action, he spent a quick second of focusing. (Recharge of maneuvers).

(Or, in terms of rules: Move action (no AoOs because I'm using Dancing Blade Form) , then intiating rallying strike. Attack roll is 1d20+25=38. Damage (assuming its evil) is 1d10+2d6+13+3d6=37. Rallying Strike heals everyone within 30ft 3d6+14= 24hp).

[Zanaikin]

(You can't recharge maneuvers as a warblade after using a maneuver in the same round. Otherwise that would be just TOO broken xD)

(The gate passage looked like this now:
|--troll----trollx3----troll------|
|
|--troll---------------troll------|
|
|--troll---------------troll------|
|
|-----ranmor-kati-derovar---|
Since dave was playing Troll bowling in the center. So for now kati and derovar would have to end up hitting the same troll.)

(btw, I made Devoted Spirit healing maneuvers available to warblades by treating them similar to Iron Heart Endurance - thus, adrenaline surge. Crusaders/Swordsages are the only ones who channel divine energy thru it. I haven't made any official ruling yet, but I'll probably put a few limitations on Devoted Spirit healing maneuvers used by warblades. The first one being except for Rallying Strike, none of the other ones can be used to heal allies, only yourself. And Rallying Strike would have a similar-to-rally effect, being allies must see and hear you.)

(I'll assume you pick the strike over recharging maneuvers for now :p)

The troll stumbles somewhat under the impact of Kati and Derovar's hit, moderately maimed by two slashes across its chest but continues to fight with vigor.

(Just Judson left to go I believe)

[Mr_Praetorian]

((Marty, you forgot to factor in the +3d6 damage froom my aura))

[Sajuuk]

((edited in. adds 16 damage. yay for good rolls! also forgot the +3 from inspire courage. redoing combat notes sheet to better keep track of effects))

[Squall255]

so Dai, Do I have a readied action to attack the ogre when he tops the wall?
if so, should I reroll my attack and damage when he does?

[Zanaikin]

(Yeah you'll get a readied action for this, since its a standard action equivalent I'd recommend using a martial strike for this.
and yeah reroll.)

[TheDude51]

Samael launches a Noxious Fireball at the crowd of trolls swarming under the gate.

10d6+5 damage = 48, DC 27 for 1/2 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=980378)

DC 31 fort save or be nauseated for a minute for any in the area

[Zanaikin]

Samael's sickly fireball hurls under the gatehouse and into the center of the trolls in the passage below. It's fire spills over to the outer side of the gate passage and burns ten of the trolls within the blast, seven of them immediately begin to look extremely nauseated and the damp passage was filled with the most disgusting smell as several of them emptied their stomaches out.

the troll standing to left of Ranmor swipes him with both claws, missing him both times.
another troll charges into the breach in the front lines and rushes towards Ranmor. Ranmor swings to defends himself but the attack glances off the troll's hide. Kati takes another swing and cuts into the troll (47dmg) but wasn't able to drive the troll back. It runs straight into Ranmor, knocking him over, and moved past him before turning around, growling and baring its sharp grinding teeth at the trio (10ft from the downed Ranmor).
The troll in front of Derovarr looks extremely sick as he moves back, the the troll behind him moves up to attack Derovar and misses.

On the walls above, five dozen MGE longbows arrived at the scene, lined up at the rear of the wall, each nocking in two arrows. There were not a moment too soon as the ogres ascending the walls reached up to the battlements and began climbing over them. The longbowmen then let loose their volley of arrows at the ogres still scaling over the battlements. A few of them yelled before loosing their grasp, falling back over the walls but most of them (roughly four dozen up and down the walls of the gatehouse) flipped over the battlements and retrieved their chains, ready to fight.

(Squall: your readied attack please. No skirmish on this - obviously)

One squad of longbows ran down the stairs towards the gate entrance below, intending on reinforcing the shock squad trio holding off the foes there.

Over the telecomm, Kati and Derovar could hear a source being attached to the network of telepathic bond, then a new voice could be heard over the link. The voice is clear, rigid, and emotionless, with not a hint of tone change throughout the line: "...of the Sacred Kingdom of Remeriny..." (goes on next round). It seems the beginning of the speech was cut off during the time Priest Anstrun spent attaching the telecomm network to it.

(Everyone: GO!)
