Mission 4: Mikawa Recruitment

[Squall255]

*posting from phone,at parents*

Rainer uses his fullround action to mimic gust of wind to blow the fog out through the door.
3engineer pool points spent. Any reactionary dice rolls will happen Monday afternoon.

[Sajuuk]

Shigeru 5' steps to H10 and launches an explosive bomb at the Shadowcaster.

(Attack: 1d20+15 → [19,15] = (34))
(Damage: 8d6+7 → [5,3,6,1,2,6,2,1,7] = (33 fire) plus catch on fire for 3d6+3 fire damage/round (DC23 Reflex to extinguish)

[Zanaikin]

Rainer's gust of wind blasts the fog out of the entire chamber, and also blows away the flour on the ground outside. With the entire room cleared and the light from Terasaka illuminating it, Rainer notices his dormant construct on the far left corner. He also recognizes the two weapons parked next to it as rocket-arrow springals. The right side was mostly bookshelves and empty racks.

Rainer also notices that he stood in the middle of an illusion barrier. There was a metal-reinforced door on the other side, but the illusion was trying to disguise it as just another section of the wall.

(Edit) Shigeru's bomb dives inbetween the battlement covers, scoring a direct hit on the shadowcaster that badly injuries hit and ignite him in flames. (and obviously ruining the spell)

However, as the invisibility dropped from the attack, a flurry of twelve arrows responded from the enemy archers, including from both of the towers. But all of them were simply deflected by the barrier of wind surrounding Shigeru. Three ninjas hidden behind the battlements also tossed in starknives; one glances off Shigeru's armor while another was deflected by the winds, but a third struck him directly.
( Hit1: Shigeru takes 27 piercing dmg )

The two spear ashigaru who already climbed in thrust their spears at Shigeru, but he evades both of them. Spear6 meanwhile climbs to the top of the wall and readies to leap at Shigeru, possibly intending to tackle him... ( Dave: readied action )

Another wave of twelve arrows shot from the four nearby archers as well as both of the towers, but all of them bounce harmlessly off the wind barrier once again...

The southwestern patrol force also marches up to the stone wall and one of them began to climb...

( next: Yuuta/Dave, Yumi/Judson )

[Laharl]

Yuuta's sword flashes out at the samurai attempting to tackle Shigeru.

Attack roll: 16+22=38 (vs FF)
Damage: 45

Afterwards, Yuuta flies over to the shadowcaster, stabs him in the gut to disrupt his spell, and flies back. (Thank you, Marty, for these Soar extracts!)

Attack roll: 10+22=32 (vs FF)
Damage: 38

AC: 42 (Judson, you put up Shield of Faith, right? If not, 38)
If any of the enemies I pass by can actually see me to AoO, add 4 to that AC from Mobility.

Invis rounds: 8

[Zanaikin]

Yuuta stabs the spearman in the throat before flying up to drive his shortsword into the shadowcaster's spine, killing both of them.
( your crazy double-moves xD )

( next: Yumi/Judson )

[TheDude51]

Yumi fires a critical strike at the Naginata Samurai in F11.

Attack: 1d20+19=30
Damage: 9d8+3=43

(Yes Dave, Shield of Faith is up, with a +4 deflection bonus to AC)

[Zanaikin]

Yumi's arrow drives straight into the samurai's left shoulder blade after penetrating the thin armor between the helmet and the shoulders. He seemed a bit dazed by the shock of the critical injury by otherwise still alive.

One of the tanuki ninjas tosses a flour bag towards where the shadowcaster got slashed from and hit nothing; while the other two hurled in two more starknives at Shigeru but were both deflected by the wind. All three then went into invisibility.

( next: Shigeru/Marty, Terasaka/Judson )

[Sajuuk]

Shigeru 5' steps to H9 and fires a (regular) bomb at Spearman 4 (hitting 5 as well).

(Attack1: 1d20+15 → [16,15] = (31))
(Attack2: 1d20+15 → [11,15] = (26))
(Damage1: 8d6+7 → [4,1,4,5,1,5,2,6,7] = (35 fire))
(Damage2: 8d6+7 → [4,4,2,4,3,6,3,2,7] = (35 fire))

[Zanaikin]

Both of the spearmen dropped their weapons and screamed in pain as the bombs' direct hits lit them on fire...

( next: Terasaka/Judson, Rainer/Squall )

( Squall: it'll take 1 round for the construct to boot up [I presume it's not running Windows]; after that, for convenience's sake since you're planning to use it as a mount half the time, the construct will move on Rainer's initiative slot. )

[TheDude51]

"Grab your machine and lets get out of here!*"

(*I don't think you can actually hear me, but Terasaka doesn't know you're deafened.)

Terasaka then darts outside to smash his morningstar into the burning ashigaru in J10.

Attack: 1d20+28=30
Damage: 3d8+14 = 28

"Rainer has the machine, get ready to move out."

[Squall255]

*sorry didn't see the wiki-link*
Rainer calls out the activation code for his construct, points to the wall near him and says (in as close to a normal voice as he can, little loud) "Secret Door here!" and then runs over to his construct to attach the Hwacha's to the back of his construct.

*I assume that there are straps for doing this? It was intended to load out weapons and armor, so I assume there's a cart hitch on the back*

[Zanaikin]

Terasaka's morning smashes the burning spearman into his comrade behind him and then both of them into the wall; both of them then slumped down dead.

Rainer rotates the first Hwacha around into position so he can start knotting up the ropes in its front to his construct next round... (also, with Terasaka's departure there's no light in the room anymore, so you better get a light source before you try to tie that knot next round).
In the meantime, the construct was activating without any abnormalities...

Twelve more arrows shot towards Shigeru and proved to be just as useless as the two earlier volleys were, much to the frustration of the archers.

"Focus all fire on that alchemist!" the Naginata samurai ordered to his men. Two of the nearby spearmen attacked from outside the stone wall but both missed. Spearman7 tried to tackle Shigeru after climbing up, but his lunge was dodged by Shigeru and he landed chin-first on the ground in front of Terasaka.
( Yuuta / Terasaka: attack of opportunity if you want to take )

( next: Yuuta/Dave -> Yumi/Judson )

[TheDude51]

Terasaka AoO:
Attack: 1d20+28 = 31
Damage: 3d8+19 = 30

Yumi takes careful aim at the command-shouting naginata samurai and fires off another critical shot.

Attack: 1d20+19 = 26
Damage: 9d8+3 = 39

( GM: Terasaka's morningstar gives the spearman a bad concussion and leaves him stunned... while Yumi's second shot penetrates deep in-between the spine and the collarbone, killing the samurai instantly. )

[Laharl]

Yuuta's sword flashes out, slicing into the samurai.

Attack: 12+22=34 (vs FF)
Damage: 38

Yuuta grins, glad he cast See Invisibility. He then flies over to ninja 2 and stabs him in the gut, before flying back to continue guarding Shigeru.

Attack: 16+22=38
Damage: 28

(Crappy damage roll is crappy...that's well under average...)

AC: 42, 46 vs movement AoO

[Zanaikin]

Yuuta kills the spearmen with Terasaka's help before stabbing the ninja up on the battlements again, leaving him badly wounded.

The ninja tosses a flour pouch to where Yuuta stabbed him from and revealed absolutely nothing there. The other two ninjas then tossed another starknife each at Shigeru from invisibility before vanishing again. The first was blown aside by the wind barrier, and the second scores only grazes his armor.

( next: Shigeru/Marty -> Terasaka/Judson -> Rainer/Squall )
