Mission 4: Mikawa Recruitment

[Laharl]

(Fort 17+7=24)

Yuuta once again curses the lack of Darkvision on the Witch list and waits for the enemy to approach, figuring he should probably keep the body count down before things get flashy. 5' step to H9. Ready action [attack anything in range].

AC: 32 + whatever shield of faith gives (+4?)

Invisibility rounds remaining: 10

[TheDude51]

Yumi continues to hold position and do nothing.

(Oops... didn't realize it was my turn)

[Zanaikin]

The shadowcaster fires another Dispel against the illusion, this time causing the entire field to flare once again before it crashed down... the enemies suddenly found themselves staring at a 5ft-high stone battlement wall where there definitely was none; but still no enemies (party invisible).

The ninja on the battlements then takes out... some kind of large pouch and tosses it in, landing south of Yuuta and Rainer before it burst open, scattering white flour in all directions...
( Reflex save from both Yuuta and Rainer )

( next: Shigeru/Marty, Terasaka/Judson )

[TheDude51]

Terasaka casts Light and turns right, following the wall around the edge of the room, scanning for Rainer's construct (or obviously valuable/magical items) as he speaks through his Communication Ring.

"Rainer, get inside and help me find the construct. Yuuta, hold the doorway as long as you can to cover us. Support team, stay hidden until the guards have engaged Yuuta, then give us some covering fire."

[Sajuuk]

Shigeru finishes descending to square I10.

[Zanaikin]

Terasaka moves 30ft along the wall but didn't find anything remotely resembling a construct, just lots of shelves with dusty record books and two empty musket racks.

( reminder : Reflex save from both Yuuta and Rainer )

( next: Rainer/Squall )

[Laharl]

(Yep, didn't have time to roll the save this morning.)

Reflex: 4+16=20, evasion - I'm pretty sure I have no buffs affecting Ref.

[Squall255]

Ref save: (Nat 20! therefore it's a 44, and Graamros's curse is lifted.)
(assuming a 44 passes)

Rainer ninja rolls through the door to avoid the Flour bomb and moves 45 ft. into the room then starts fiddling with some of his components (double move action, with a little description for my next turn) Rainer does not hear the summons as he is deaf.

[Zanaikin]

( just making sure you didn't not-notice because it wasn't the latest post dave =9 )


Both Yuuta and Rainer manages to completely evade the bursting flour pouch.

Rainer fumbles through the darkness (reduced speed due to total concealment, but 30ft as double move still gets you across the room) until he touches the wall on the other side...

"Move in, those smartass ninjas seem to see something," ordered the samurai to the southern patrol, and his spearmen climbed up the stone battlements, two of them flipping over as they reached the top. The two archers also drew arrows and aimed into the stone fortification, ready to shoot anything that pops up.
( if Shigeru normally carried a melee weapon he'd receive an AoO here )

In the meantime, another patrol team was approaching from the southwest...

Sugire casts Shield on himself as the inevitable combat looms.

( next: Yuuta/Dave, Yumi/Judson )

[Laharl]

(I told you this morning I was going to post tonight or tomorrow morning. Believe it or not, most of my delays are actually caused by having no freaking clue what to do in combination with the fact that I can only post before and after work, not by not knowing that it's my turn. Besides, when you say two of us, the order doesn't matter that much.)

Yuuta moves to H11 and readies an attack for anything coming over the wall.

Invis rounds: 9

[TheDude51]

Yumi fires a critical shot at the katana samurai climbing over the wall.

Attack: 32, ignoring armor/shield
Damage: 48 piercing

[Zanaikin]

( Dave: well I guess currently it's a bit of a tricky situation on whether to keep pretending nothing has happened or start the killing... although next time if you wait on someone else, please post so we're not caught up in a deadlock wait situation. )

Yumi sends an arrow straight down the samurai's neck, penetrating the armor and just an inch short of penetrating the spine for an instant kill. Nevertheless the samurai fell from the wall and lands prone on the ground, stunned by the wound.

None of the enemies on the ground is even sure what exactly just happened. A number of them looked up but seem to be scanning wildly trying to find something in the skies... (Yumi is blending into the darkness too well).

The Shadowcaster starts chanting a spell (Yuuta and Shigeru may try a perception + spellcraft check)

( next: Shigeru/Marty, Terasaka/Judson )

[Sajuuk]

(Spellcraft: 1d20+12=26)
(Perception: 1d20+18=31)

[TheDude51]

Terasaka keeps moving until he can see the far wall of the armory (to M23), then turns left and continues around to G23 before turning left again down to G26 to complete his circuit of the armory. He will pause to grab anything that looks valuable or magical, or if he sees the construct.

[Zanaikin]

( Marty : he's casting a Black Tentacles spell )

Terasaka finds a steel construct or some kind, with limbs and in a crouching position, at F22-G23. Parked next to it are two wooden pushcarts (F24-G25; F26-G27) with some weird contraption that looked like a beehived-box sitting on top. (Know[engineering] to ID)

( next: Shigeru/Marty + Rainer/Squall [still deaf] )
