Okay, Bro burn an action point to attack after he uses Crusader's strike, healing 18 hp and saving himself. One of the hellhounds goes down.

And because I gummed-up the turn order, it's Whiskers's turn now. I'll just decide that the archers didn't want to fire into the melee.

Figuring anywhere's better than here, Whiskers whisks off towards the barn, hoping to find anything that could help either of them in this precarious situation.

Okay, that's a retreat action, to move uphill at one half speed, the wolf snarls after you.

The Samurai juggles his blades and strikes twice, one attack hitting for 12 damage.
9 archers fire into the melee, all of them missing like chumps.
Both hounds miss.

Three archers turn around after Whiskers, seemingly alerted by something. They follow the wolf after him, drawing their katanas.
I'm going to let Whiskers roll a hide check right now, with a +8 bonus.

Bro manages to hit the samurai, visibly wounding him, but not dropping him.
Three archers fire down at Bro, one hitting, the damage being reduced to zero by Stone bones.

Sorry guys, this didn't start out as smoothely as I planned.

We'll come back to this encounter tomorrow. Hopefully our caster will have shown up by then, and I'll be a little more prepared.

*The goblin troops appear visibly empowered by the Red Leader's commanding aura, and gobble among-st themselves reveling in their impending victory. Although Brozal can't speak goblinoid, he can vaguely make out that they're bickering about how to split his loot.

Oh good joy.
You're about 300 feet off of the map, basking in the afterglow of a very intimate brushing session with your prized white mare, Misty.

I'm going to roll some dice to see what you hear. I did max out your perception skills.

The kitty feels the chills of uncool crawling up his spine.
Before running a further 45 feet, Whiskers casts Glitterdust on the orc and the entire blob of enemies surrounding him.
(Ugh... can't even remember his name... must be all the tension,) the cat worriedly thought to himself as he ran further towards the sacred barn.

You can move up to 35 feet if you want to cast a spell in the same round (30 ft movement, plus your five foot step).
Since the underbrush provides you cover, you may retreat while sneaking, albeit at only one half your normal speed.
If you wish to move in this fashion, roll Move Silently; if not, roll a caster level check (1d20+6) as you fire your AoE.
I'm not going to penalize you for moving uphill because I don't feel like looking that shit up right now.

Nice. You successfully beat the Fiendish Wolf's spell resistance.
One Of the goblins pursuing you near the edge of the blast screams in pain as he's blinded, crit-failing the save with his -1 modifier on top of it.

Now let me figure out if I'm supposed to roll all these saves separately or if I roll them as one together. I'm lowkey stalling for Bro and chad to make themselves apparent.

The ball of golden dust hits right in the center of the kill-circle.
A new figure appears behind the samurai guy, he looks a bit like this, only covered in golden spray-paint, with some invisible patches. It seems as though this bad boy has been buffing and healing the warriors this whole time.
He claws at his eyes, apparently blinded by the spell. Most of the marauders do, actually. Everyone but the Samurai.

Brolaz manages to pass his saving throw, but only with Pelor's grace, as he burns another action point to regain a use of Zealous Surge. He barely avoids being blinded.

Call lightning is a 5 foot wide burst. You could normally target only one guy, but I'm going to let you hit too since these guys were close together.
Do you have a particular target in mind?

The wolf growls at Whiskers and finally lunges towards his hiding place, the goblins following him.
The wolf's teeth surge with dark energy as it smites him with it's bite attack, dealing 9 damage.
I already rolled his check modifier to avoid being tripped. He passed.
Whiskers, don't forget you healed 2 HP that last round.

The They on opposite sides of Brozal, so I'll just have you target the priest and the regular next to him.
The lightning hits the priest's mace like a lightning rod. I neglected to mention he was disguised, but you had a decent chance of hitting him anyway.
Regular was already wounded, and is KO'd from the shock.

The priest is visibly damaged, but doesn't drop.
"Raagh! You'll have to do more than that!" he bellows in common, before he downs a potion.

The fire-dog bites at Brozal, but fails to pierce his armor.

Fuck it, I'm just going to have Brozal do a full attack while fighting defensively with full combat expertise.
All of them miss, but his AC is high this turn.

The Red Leader clashes his blades together and taunts Brozal.
"You! You dare fight me?!”
He counters with his own combo, but Brozal manages to block each hit.
Brozal takes the damage from his delayed damage pool. His HP is pretty low now.

Whiskers is currently being attacked by one wold and two goblins. He could step out of their melee range with his 5 ft step if he wants to cast a spell without provoking AoO's

He could also elect to take the retreat action, and move 60 ft uphill.

The blinded regulars scramble ineffectively to return to their previous formation. With a bark from the red leader, they form a haphazard spear wall around the priest the red leader.

Chad, you can move again right after Whiskers.

With a check like that, you're able to gain concealment in the bushes by the barn, but the Hobgoblins see where you went.

Both wolves vanish in a puff of black smoke.

Meow takes the opportunity to reload the crossbow and switch to the rapier, readying a melee attack the moment the icky, uncool hobgoblins keep their harrassment.

You manage to damage two, but that's not enough to drop them.
>>134185
Technically you can't use weapons in cat form, but I neglected to mention that earlier, so go ahead and do it.
You can't ready an attack after taking a full round action though.

The Priest takes the total defense action, and casts and Orison.
A shadowy area covers the kill-circle.

And is completely negated by the everburning torches that Brozal strapped to himself...

With a bark from the Priest, the hellhound leaves the killcircle and charges right towards misty, biting into her leg with its fiery maw.

It would be Bro's turn, but idk where his player is...
He fights defensively and takes a potion. With no non-blind creature threatening him, doesn't provoke AoO. He regains 2 HP, but takes 4 damage from his delayed damage pool. He's at like 11 HP, really fucked-up.
