Climb the ropes is a DC 10, but if you are not in a hurry, you can always take 10 on basic tasks, giving yourself a minimum of 15 (with your +5).


Male Human Paladin 1

After you put the rope up, If I take off my armor, and go up, I can pull everybody up even faster, and get Amerys up, and all of our luggage.
Having the highest strength is fun!!


M Gnome Animist 1

I let Janrose do all the work and assist on the ground and i will be the last up. Still keeping an eye on the fang birds


There are three grapples total. "There is a grapple still in the gear I left at the bottom of the cliff and Klania has one of her own if I remember correctly, and she is willing to use it. If everyone is coming up this way, let us at least be efficient."


Once at the top I do an immediate scan for any danger.
perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23


M Gnome Animist 1

I help in any way i can. Getting the drunk lady effectively tied up to be pulled up without falling, tying up the gear left behind to be hauled up, assisting people. I will be the last up since i should be the easiest.


After about forty minutes of work and climbing, the entire party, along with gear, has reached the top of the cliff wall and the edge of the jungle. You can hear the sound of animals calling each other in the island jungle, but other than insects, you see nothing threatening.


Male Human Paladin 1

Insects can be plenty threatening, poor thing that I'm not immune to poisons and diseases for another two levels :p


Male Human Paladin 1

well, I guess we're still headed towards the lighthouse.


M Gnome Animist 1

agreed


Since no one seems to be making a move I speak up. while making sure all my gear is in order I say "Is anybody not ready to move on?"


Male Human Paladin 1

After strapping on the last of my armor, I reply "Indeed Caasi I am ready."


Female Elf Arcanist 1

I too am ready.


Female Half elf Rogue 1

"as ready as we will ever be" glancing at the drunk lady


M Gnome Animist 1

Off we go!


The party intrepidly begins the journey through the jungle somewhat following the line of the cliff...

The vegetation is thick.

Movement is slow... Slower even then down on the beach.


DM Rolls...
???: 1d100 ⇒ 35

After half an hour of cutting your way through the brush, trying to avoid going over the edge of the cliff, listening to the calls of the jungle life, the hoots of monkeys and the screechings of birds, hopping over streams, slapping at mosquitos...

Make a Perception Check..


Male Human Paladin 1

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4


perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8


M Gnome Animist 1

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25


Male Human Paladin 1

well, at least some one got higher than a one.


Female Half elf Rogue 1

ok
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22


Female Elf Arcanist 1

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12


The wind rustles through the top of the trees, and a bird erupts from the branches, taking swift flight.

Malchi and Klania:
You are each aware of movement above the trees, and spot the onrushing creatures: brightly colored Reptilian flyers with oversized heads; likely the very creatures you saw flying above the cliffs. They are rushing in to attack. You may each act in the surprise round. The creatures are forty feet away from you, with partial cover from the trees. You have one action.

"They're beautiful and so cute," says Sasha delightedly, looking up.


M Gnome Animist 1

Yikes, out of attack spells...besides a flare. I guess i will try to hit it with my sling...
Sling: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 121d2 ⇒ 1


M Gnome Animist 1

could be worse


Female Half elf Rogue 1

i draw my weapons and wait for the creatures to get close enough for me to attack them.
should i also roll initiative so it is ready?


Female Half elf Rogue 1

and did you mean Aemyrs (she is the drunk one) said that not sasha?


Malchi draws out his sling and launches a stone up through the branches, drawing attention to the onrushing flying reptilian creatures swooping down to attack through the trees. The creatures have bright red, yellow and blue markings, and huge, oversized heads filled with sharp needle-like teeth.

It was Sasha

Klania: Are you readying an attack, or what specifically are you planning on doing?

Fangbird Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15


Female Elf Arcanist 1

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11


Female Half elf Rogue 1

I'm readying an attack and a charge with my rapier and if possible my dagger too.
ill just roll my initiative now for when i need it. . .
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

[dice=Initiative]1d20+3

The creature will be in charge range if you want to change.


Male Human Paladin 1

Initiave: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
do I get to act or is this a suprise round?


Janrose, Knight of Erastil wrote:

Yes and yes...

Klania can charge and then you can act - the creatures are flying in to attack, but your initiative beats theirs. So you don't get the surprise round, but you get to act right after it.


Female Half elf Rogue 1

you do mean charge right not change? well ok i'm charging. can i attack with both my rapier and dagger? do i get a sneak attack? or have they technically acted?
rapier
To Hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6


Male Human Paladin 1

I'll charge them myself, with a greatsword, drop the great sword then switch to my long sword and sheild.
attack+damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 152d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1) + 3 = 5


Klania pulls out her rapier and lunges towards the creature flying in the lead, piercing its hide as it swoops in. The creature flaps madly, preparing to strike her and then Janrose hits it from the side with his mighty sword. It flops to the ground, thrashing angrily...

Malchi and Caasi both need to roll initiative. If you beat a 15 you can act.


M Gnome Animist 1

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9


M Gnome Animist 1

Nope, didn't beat 15. At least i tried. How big are these birds? If they don't look strong i might send my thrush after them.


initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

I attack using my bow
attack+damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d8 ⇒ 1


Crap....

Are these considered animals or monsters?

They have about a five foot wing-span. And, though their colloquial name is "Fang Birds," they aren't feathered birds. They are flying multi-colored reptiles with really big heads.

And they are considered animals.

The creature smacked to the ground with Janrose's sword makes a lunge at the warrior...

Fang Bird 1 Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

The teeth scrape on armor and then the beast falls to the ground, its energy spent.

The second of the winged animals makes a fly-by lunge at the drunken Aemyrs,...

Fang Bird 2 Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

She drunkenly stumbles out of its way, and it soars back up.

Caasi's arrow clips its wing as he looses it, but the creature continues flying as it veers around for a second attack, screeching angrily now.


Malchi and Klania can still act in Round 1


Female Half elf Rogue 1

is the one on the ground about to die if so i want to attack the other one if i can but if the one on the ground isn't then i want to attack it
To hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

As the one on the ground is not attacking, it is probably dying. But the one in the air is not next to you either at the moment...


attack+damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d8 ⇒ 7
If I get to a shot before someone else kills it.

If necessary: initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19


You only need to roll initiative once, at the beginning of an encounter. Caasi's action is noted.

We will assume Klania readies a charge as the other one swings back around.

Timing her movements to the flight of the incoming beast, Klania leaps forward as it swoops down, piercing its hide with the point of her rapier.

Malchi,... also Arinka,... Then Janrose.


Female Elf Arcanist 1

I will use another force strike.
Force Strike: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3


The force strike also hits the creature, rocking it as it moves in to attack, but not felling it.

Malchi and Janrose can still act; then the beast gets an action.


Male Human Paladin 1

I'll post after Malchi posts. that way I know what he's doing.
