May 7 '12, 10:59pm
Turning his bloodshot eyes off the goblin he just chopped down, Gozzik looked up at the scream in irritation and rage. He barely felt the arrow pierce his leg, but the movement allowed him to focus on the archer; the barbarian advanced, murder written plain on his face.

Saitylvaness Round 2
Saitylvaness Sylvari The Knight of Stars
Dashing past the others, Sai stepped gracefully over where the goblin archer had just been split in two by the little barbarian. As she spun around Tom, she smiled at the little warrior.
"You're so adorable when you're angry!"
Coming up on the Bard's side, she lunged at the warchanter. Her strike went low, narrowly missing the Goblin. She thought she had shaken off that strange feeling from earlier, but clearly it was still affecting her aim.
Attack Goblin Warchanter.

1: Weapon Finesse
With a light weapon, elven curve blade, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
Benefit: Apply your DEX modifier in place of STR modifier to attack rolls AND half your DEX modifier to damage rolls with any weapons that qualify for Weapon Finesse.
If you have a STR of at least 10, you can apply the benefits of weapon finesse to any one-handed weapon.
Weapon Finnesse also allows you to add half your DEX modifier to damage with ranged or thrown weapons.
Special: Once you take Weapon Finesse, you can now make special attacks called Surgical Strikes with any weapons that qualify.
Rogue 1: Skill Focus (Knowledge Arcana)
Benefit: You immediately gain a +3 bonus to the chosen skill.
This bonus improves according to character level.
At level 10, this bonus improves to +5, and you can reroll a check using this skill once/day.
At level 20, this bonus improves to +7.
Sneak Attack:
If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The rogue's attack deals extra damage (called "precision damage") anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.
The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.
Expert Acrobat:
At 1st level, an acrobat does not suffer any armor check penalties on Acrobatics, Climb, Fly, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth skill checks while wearing light armor. When she is not wearing armor, she gains a +2 competency bonus on Acrobatics and Fly skill checks.
This ability replaces trapfinding.
Arcane Pool:
At 1st level, the magus gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his weapon. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the magus prepares his spells.
At 1st level, a magus can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute. For every four levels beyond 1st, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +5 at 17th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon enhancement to a maximum of +5. Multiple uses of this ability do not stack with themselves.
At 5th level, these bonuses can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: dancing, flaming, flaming burst, frost, icy burst, keen, shock, shocking burst, speed, or vorpal.
Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property's base price modifier. These properties are added to any the weapon already has, but duplicates do not stack. If the weapon is not magical, at least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. These bonuses and properties are decided when the arcane pool point is spent and cannot be changed until the next time the magus uses this ability. These bonuses do not function if the weapon is wielded by anyone other than the magus.
A magus can only enhance one weapon in this way at one time. If he uses this ability again, the first use immediately ends.
A magus can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Magus under "Spells per Day." These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.
Spell Combat:
At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.
Round One Summary:
Sai's Weapon Enhancement: 4/10 rounds remain.

"Sorry, ladies and gentlemen: the God of Wrath will take his blood tithe now!"
Veritas leaped low, his body describing a perfect arc in the air as he tumbled his way in direct opposition to the elven warrioress. His hands described a short, pious moment as they clapped together, before the lower pair of arms gashed at the goblin songstress. Then, the quarterstaff described a short, painful arc aimed at her head, finishing with the clapping hands turning into fists and slamming at her chest.

Veritas' acrobatic attack lands one blow on the warchantress, leaving her a bit staggered, but still standing. In a last ditch effort, she drops her whip and lunges at Brego with her dogslicer, but misses. Left with nowhere to run, the goblin lets out a hiss and prepares to defend herself against the coming onslaught of attacks.
@Kuroi: flurry cannot be combined with natural weapon attacks. Your options would be to attack with two unarmed strikes via flurry, OR, to attack with one unarmed strike and two claws, but in that case the claws would be considered secondary weapons and receive a -5 attack penalty. Using either option, the only attack that hits is the fist.
Gozzik kills the Goblin Archer.
Veritas hits the Warhanter for
7 damage
Warchanter attacks Brego but misses.
Map is unchanged.
Aegon, Sai and Veritas have flanking bonuses.
You guys are up.

Tom o' the Six Strings
Whether in response to Sai's jab, or because he saw an opening Brego's blade plunged into the goblin warchanter's neck. The bard's song stopped abruptly as he twisted the blade leaving the small songstress limp and numb, the lights fading from her eyes
He pulled the blade out just as abruptly and began to clean it. He looked over towards the church and saw that the townspeople had the fire under control. The battle, it seemed may have moved passed them.
"This strikes me as a bit too well organized for a normal goblin raid...."
he said the battle rush leaving him as he cleared his throat
"Sandpoint's too well defended a target...and they didn't seem keen on anything but causing destruction"
It wasn't clear whether he was speaking to the others or himself at this point. He looked down at the goblin corpse with a look of disgust. He knelt down and began to rummage, he didn't want to touch the blood more than he had too, but would go through pockets looking for a clue....or a bag of coins

Having overcome the raider's attack on the Cathedral, the hastily-formed party of five found that the square had been pretty well secured. There were still random cries of battle in the distance, but the tide seemed to have turned decidedly in the favor of the townspeople. No longer were there sights of goblins running after children and pets, but rather armed guardsmen chasing the villainous little bastards as they tried to flee. To the north you could see several goblins screaming toward the cliff's edge and leaping to their own death on the rocks below rather than be killed or captured by the
derisive goblin term for humans and human-like species
Father Zantus called out to those left in the square, asking that the injured be carefully brought to his side so that he could share with them the holy blessings of the Great Dreamer, healing their wounds, and his own as well.
He also took the opportunity to show you all his appreciation for your effort.
"The good fortune of Desna surely shines upon us this day, having brought these brave warriors to aid us!"
the cleric offered his praise as he approached your position.
"I cannot thank you enough,"
he continued, reaching out to shake each one of your hand.
"The horror that we may have lost another temple is simply unbearable, and who know's what other atrocities these monsters had in mind. Many blessings be upon you!" Are any of you hurt?"
Take a few minutes to regroup and play out how your character's are reacting to the events that have taken place here.
Combat has ended.
The arcane blade enhancements of the magi will expire.
Both Brego's inspiration and Gozzik's rage should be assumed to have ended on the last round of combat, so keep track of how much you have remaining.
Anyone who has taken damage can take advantage of Father Zantus' healing (he has plenty of it), and you are now
fully healed
I'm going to ask you guys for just a wee bit more patience as I get Crossroad integrated into the group.
Until then, talk amongst yourselves...
9 small leather armor
1 small studded leather armor
2 small short bows
20 small arrows
10 small dogslicers
1 small whip
1 CL 2 potion of cure wounds

All six of them?
"By all means, Father. We did what came to us naturally. In my case, it simply happened to be violence against the cowardly."
Veritas noted with a nonchalant expression.
"You make a good point, minstrel. Goblins are often opportunistic, cowardly creatures - it surprises me that they'd think attacking the city was sane under any condition. But what I'm most concerned about is how they got into the city undetected until they decided to attack. They came in with explosives and weapons and in a fairly large number, they couldn't simply go about their business amid the visitors completely undetected, now could they?"
Seeming to realize he'd yet to introduce himself, the half-elf bowed.
"I am Veritas. Veritas Shin'ar."

May 9 '12, 12:33am
Saitylvaness Sylvari The Knight of Stars
With the battle ended, the glowing runes faded from Sai's blade. She slid the rapier into its sheath and smiled at Tom.
"Well done Tom. It seems I owe you breakfast."
She gave the minstrel a wink and a comely smile as she moved past him. She went out of her way to avoid eye contact with Aegon, she got the feeling he disliked her. She had hoped he would be a pleasant distraction from the reason she had come here, or possibly even who she was looking for, but that seemed unlikely now. Stopping in front of the one who had named himself Veritas, she found herself gawking at his unnatural appearance.
"W-Well met Veritas. I am Saitylvaness Sylvari...Were you aware you seemed to have a few more limbs than you should?"
He seemed like a decent enough sort, though his comment to the priest was a bit garish for her taste. She turned her mind instead to the goblins that littered the ground about the group. Letting her eyes rove over the tiny creatures, she noticed the Halfling from earlier. Unable to control herself, Sai let out a squeal and leaned down to come face to face with him.
"You are just the cutest Halfling I have ever seen!"
In reality she had only met a handful of them in her travels, but he was in fact the cutest she had met.

"You'd be surprised how useful they can be. Well, except for scratching my own back, that is."
Veritas chuckled.
"I can understand that extra limbs is often considered a trait of demons and the like in many cultures, but does it really stand out this much?"
He pondered aloud. Being used to the stares doesn't mean he didn't still wonder where they came from.
The half-elf tried to stifle a snort as the elven swordswoman squealed at the raging Gozzik. For all his ferocity in battle, the size was most definitely a point against him in the ferocity department - and Sai looked about a heartbeat away from embracing him like a living plushie. The six-armed man turned to Aegon, Tom and the priest as he put his quarterstaff away.
"Well, guess that archery contest is a total bust now... I think I'll go have a look at the Rusty Dragon again. I don't think anyone there is hurt, not from these tiny menaces, but I've been known to be wrong before. Father, should I call someone of the guard to stand watch over your church, just in case?"

Tom o' the Six Strings
Brego would pick up a potion, opening the cork and taking a sniff like it was a fine wine. He nodded in appreciation and stowed it in his pack. He then picked up the pouch of coins looking inside and a large grin crossing his face. He took 5 gold coins out of it and then passed then from person to person
"No need to worry about that now, m'lady. That ought to pay for my next several meals"
he says looking over towards the elf that had been dubbed 'Veritas'
"Tom... And yes they do stand out like a nudist in a Chellaxian court"
he says then nodding towards the father, feeling better as his arm get healed... He wished that he could fix his clothing as well...but he'd take his help where he could
"I doubt the church was the goal. Why burn it anyway? It wouldn't do any good... What it did do was get many people close at hand to help put it out, focusing many eyes to this point as opposed to another"

The Mainstays are a funk & soul band based in Kalamazoo, MI. Featuring Andrew Schrock (singer/songwriter), Dutch Conway (bass), and Nate Heymoss (guitar) of Michigan's funk/dance band Funktion, the band draws heavily from the groovy elements that made Funktion a bonafide dance party, while crafting dynamic, insightful, and almost folk-influenced songs. |
