Encounter 13

Setup:
* Closet Troll Warning! *

You guys are going through some underground maze because you're hardcore adventurers and you figure there must be awesome treasure down here, despite the rumors.  On the way to your treasure, you realize you've been being followed by the minotaur that lives there!  Fuck!  He's got an axe that's bigger than any of you, and he looks pissed!


Skill Checks:
Move Silently:
Minotaur  -> d20 - 4 = 0

Listen:
Thorden -> d20 + 1 = 19
Ixen -> d20 + 1 = 20
Serias -> d20 + 8 = 10
Aepa -> d20 + 8 = 11
Grizz -> d20 - 5 = 12


No one is surprised!


Initiative rolls:

Thorden -> d20 + 1 = 2
Ixen -> d20 + 8 = 14
Serias -> d20 + 7 = 19
Aepa -> d20 + 9 = 18
Grizz -> d20 + 4 = 19

Minotaur -> 1d20 = 17


Modified Initiative:
Grizz (19 - 18 Dex)
Serias (19 - 16 Dex)
Aepa (18)
Minotaur (17)
Ixen (14)
Thorden (2)


Map:


Grizz!  You're up!

Grizz launches a large rock at the minotaur and then moves to block the beast from charging his allies. He moves to square I12.

1d20(18)+9=27

3d6(6,4,5)+1=16 bludgeoning damage

Still within his threatened range, but at least he can't charge, and he shouldn't get an AoO on me at that range since I'm not leaving any of his threatened squares.

(he does get an AoO for you using a power within his range.  Minotaurs are never caught flat-footed as a racial ability).

The minotaur attacks Grizz -> 1d20 + 9 = 16 and misses.

Grizz hits the minotaur for 16 damage!

Not that it matters, but I fired and THEN moved. No AoO.

Yes.  Yes, you did.   Embarrassed  I moved your token on the map first so I wouldn't forget, and then thought about the AoO.  Good catch.

Oh well.  Count this as fair warning for anyone else who goes before the minotaur acts. Tongue

I'll include a new map with the tangle patch so it's easier for everyone to see the AoO.  Obviously the area doesn't go through the walls, but you get the idea.

Map:

Reflex saves:
Minotaur -> d20 + 5 = 14
Grizz -> d20 + 4 = 10

Grizz is entangled!  (while is minotaur are free, he still moves at half speed.  Grizz will either need to spend a full round trying to break out or stay in place and be entangled)


Aepa!  You're up!

Well, unless the minotaur gets completely out of the area, the spell will try to reacquire him on your next turn anyway.

The minotaur rolls a Reflex save -> d20 + 5 = 6.

The minotaur takes 10 damage!

The minotaur attacks Grizz with his axe -> d20 + 9 = 16 and misses.  He them moves 15 feet left to F 14.

Move to I11 (entering effect at J10).

1d20+6=12

(If entangled, will stop at J10 to still get standard.)

Ready action to blast the cow when it shows itself.

1d20+8=23, 3d6+1=11

IIRC, the DC is 11, so you're not entangled.

In retrospect, I think we can all agree the tanglepatch wasn't so great here. >_> <_<

Grizz spends his turn readying an action to hurl a rock at the minotaur in case it manages to come back, seeing as how he can't hope to break free of the entangle effect.

On Serias's turn, everyone inside the area rolls another Reflex save:

Ixen -> d20 + 6 = 15
Grizz -> (already entangled.  No need)
Thorden -> d20 + 1 = 14

Ixen and Thorden are not entangled.


Aepa!  You're up!
