damage 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Gregor finishes his preparations, by readying his shield, before swinging his blade at the other Maiden blocking the stairs. "Stand down Maidens, do you realize the orders you have been taking are hurting this city?"

Move, ready shield
Standard, Longsword on GM in C2 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24 (+2 more if human). If that hits, damage 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10 (+2 more if human).

Mai Uses Vanishing trick 5-foot steps to an adjacent square next to her target and uses a trick of her's on the maiden

Melee_Touch attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
If Hit Target dazed, (Can't attack)

can you attack adjacent foes with a bardiche? I thought it was reach only. Will proceed assuming you can just wanted to check. Also Drakus you took 8 damage from the acid splash don't forget to mark it. Donagar could you add you hp save init and perception under your name?

Donagar misses.

Gregor hits a maiden for 12.

Everyone here is human gregor

Crain hits a maiden for 21 causing her to stumble as she is badly injured.

Assuming he can hit them Drakus downs the maiden injured by Crain and hits the other for 10.

Mai moves to d2 to flank with gregor and dazes the maiden between her and Gregor.

Enemies:

The remaining maiden who can act will take a step back to B6 and go full defensive.

The queen's physicians will trow more flask of acid targeting Drakus this time.
attack ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Stats in profile posting now

Dire flail
attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
damage 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Quite right, my reach weapon can't attack adjacent. I was attacking towards the stairs and those two maidens. they were ten feet away.
If there was only one left, instead of cleave I would make two separate attacks, the second one would be five points less; so the two attacks (using my rolls in the last post) would be 24 and 24 to hit.
On this turn, can I stop one of the acid attacks with my Missile Shield feat?

ok this is the third time I make this post hopefully it works this time...Going to say Drakus took a 5 foot step to b3 and attacked the two at the bottom so gregor and the maiden also take the 8 splash damage. You can block a vial of acid with missile shield but still take the splash damage so 4 damage instead of 8 from that one.

"Yearrr!" Drakus screamed as the acid hit, the tower shield sizzled as it blocked one of the acid bottles, but could not stop it altogether without him going completely turtle behind the shield. And he wasn't ready to do that yet.

He stepped back to (B,4) and lunge attacked the Maiden at (B,6).
bardiche attack 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 for a possible 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 slashing, magic and silver damage.
...crit confirm?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 Not confirmed.
bardiche attack 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 for a possible 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 slashing, magic and silver damage.

Crain mover to C6 and attacks the acid thrower at D7.

Attack 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26
Damage 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 2 = 23

The maiden is struck hard by Drakus and just barely managed to avoid the second attack from Drakus thanks to her defensive stance. She is still standing but badly injured.

Crain moves and in and lands a solid blow on an alchemist nearly taking him down.

Mai continues on her target with the sword

Attack1: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9

Attack2: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

Gregor had stepped to A2, not B2, last turn. Regardless, he will be stepping into B2 now.

Listening to the sizzle and pop of both gear and flesh, Gregor sucks air in between his teeth against the pain. "Drakus and Crain, stay in the faces of those two physicians. See if they are so eager to throw vials then." Turning his attention back to their destination, he steps up and pairs with Pai against the last maiden blocking their climb.

Last round of Bard Song
Free, 5' to B2
Standard, Attack C2 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 26, damage 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

Both attacks from Mai fail to penetrate the thick armor but Gregor lands a solid hit but the maiden is still up.

She attacks Gregor fighting defensivly attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 211d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The other maiden steps forward and attacks Drakus all out not trying to defend anymore.

attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 241d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The two doctors communicate using hand signals and one of them moves into position to flank Crain doing a series of flips.

acrobatics vs crain's cmd: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Provokes an attack for crain.

They draw hidden daggers and attack but both miss.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (1) = 4

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (5) = 6

your go again.

Drakus grunted as he stopped the maidens attack with his tower shield.
Seeing Crain flanked, he attacked past the maiden to the physician flanking him.

bardiche attack 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 for a possible 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 slashing, magic and silver damage.

bardiche attack 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 for a possible 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 slashing, magic and silver damage.

Crain's AoO 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 = 21

Crain attacks the first physician he struck, trying to eliminate him.

Attack 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 = 21
Damage 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 = 21

Attack 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14
Damage 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15

Mai continues on her target with the katana

Attack1: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

Attack2: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

Both the doctors are downed. One by Crain and the other by Drakus.

Donagar continues to assault one of the maidens...
"Whips and chains must excite these ones!"

Dire flail
Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 211d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

The maiden at C2 is down leaving only one wounded maiden left at B6.

Missing gregor for this round.

To save time.
If she is still alive the maiden will attack crain.
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 231d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

And you can post your rounds for next round.

Crain growls and attacks the remaining Gray Maiden.

Attack 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 = 20
Damage 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 = 17

Attack 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 = 26
Damage 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 = 22

Possible crit 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15
Damage 1d10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20

That would be enough to finish her.

"Onward to our objective!"

You press on and climb the stairs when you reach the top of the stairs you see two more doctors waiting for you at the top. They are drinking potions as you arrive preparing to fight.

Your go. You can all post then them.

encounter map

Crain double moves to get in the faces of the doctors.

I think it will take a double move to get there, so no Attack for me.

The way up the stairs pretty clogged, Drakus waited impatiently for the ones ahead of him to move.

Donagar casts create water to.rinse away any residual acid.

"The easy way or the hard way?"

Gregor moves out of the way of the heavy hitters, knowing that compared to Crain and Drakus his hits are not as effective. "Good move Crain, don't give them a chance to strike. Move in team, if we keep them harried, we can push through to the Doctor himself before he can prepare for us."

Move, up and left of Donager, to between the stairs and the small table.
Standard, Bardic Performance (Inspire Courage): +2 atk/dmg and saves vs charm/fear.
Lasts rounds 1-3

Drakus barged up the stairs and through his companions, double moving to (3,7) (presuming (1,1) is the lower left corner square).

Mai will move up and prep to go around/through the doctors next round

updated map

The two doctors attack crain using blades dripping with poison.

They try to feint aiming for the vitals.

Doctor 1
Feint vs dc 17: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 261d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 since flat-footedsneak attack: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 161d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

confirm crit for doctor 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Fort save dc 18 vs poison. you lose 1d2 str if you fail. So str loss: 1d2 ⇒ 1

your go again.

Fort 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Crain continues to rage, and throws his falchion into one of the doctors.

Attack 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 = 33
Damage 1d10 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 16 + 2 = 20

Attack 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25

Possible crit 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 = 26
Damage 1d10 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 2 = 26

Crain manages to quickly overpower and take down one of the doctors.

"What is going on here doctor?"

Dire flail
attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
damage 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Mai moves to behind the last doctor, using vanishing trick and gives a good swing to his torso.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 3 + 2 = 11
Sneak Attack: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 5) = 11

Drakus set his shield and swung for the other doctor.
Bardiche attack #1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 for a possible 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 silver, magic, slashing damage.
Bardiche attack #2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 for a possible 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 silver, magic, slashing damage.
...Fumble confirm?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 .

Donogar smacks the doctor and Mai stabs him but he manages to avoid both blows from Drakus and is still standing.

He trows down a smokebomb and quickly vanishes from sight.

(same effect as obscuring mist)

In the back you can hear the sound of the lift.

Gregor can see the lift going down but it is empty of passengers.

DM, would I have gotten an AoO on the doctor for throwing his bomb while I was in an adjacent square?

So it would, in that case he would take a 5 step back first then use the smokebomb.

Five foot step where?
He was flanked, any 5-foot step would of been in threat range of someone.

diagonally towards the door he would be safe from Mai and Crain there. The living doctor is number 1 and to flank him mai would be in the bottom left corner. Anyway all you need to do is take a 5 foot step towards him and you can see him again.

If I can 5' step and hit him, DM, I will give that a try.

Crain steps forward 5, with his rage attacks, and swings at a doctor.

Attack 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 = 16
Damage 1d10 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 2 = 19

Attack 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14
Damage 1d10 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 2 = 26

miss chance 20 and under misses: 1d200 ⇒ 84

Crain strikes down the doctor.

The way to the back office is clear.

Drakus marched to the back office.

The back office is empty and it looks like someone quickly grabbed what they could and left in a hurry. Still the majority of the notes remain.

"Looks like they grabbed the critical stuff and ran.
We should collect this evidence before the clean-up crew arrives."
