[1d20 = 8][1d20 = 20]>>72262Rolling for spot and use rope
[1d20+4 = 7]>>72255He Shoots him in the head
>>72264Fucking left the dice on. Don't pay attention to that
>>72259I know that much, but I also know that there's only two griffon nations on the western continent at the start of the game (Nova Griffonia and the Griffon Frontier), while most of the griffons are on the eastern continent.
>>72265I don't know if he found any rope, but he sure as shit tied that boat down
>>72264Or, just move then cast the spell with a standard action
>>72266Do you want to give away your position like that? Only a rogue can target specific areas
>>72269Ok. I'll do that.
I move out of sight and cast the failed spell.
>>72268Correct. This ship alleges to be registered to the Skyfall Trade Federation
>>72257He gets back to the door again, finally
>>72271What does Ash see once she enters the ship?
>>72272She sees dark Star and shimmer at the beginning of a hallway. At least shimmer is to the side of the hallway and not looking down it
>>72271Targeting, search mode, the ducats
tell me what to roll >>72273He steps over to the side of the hallway, not visible to the griffin
>>72269>>72258Iron jumps onto the dock. "Well, from what you have shown me, these griffons cannot shoot straight. Shall we storm the ship, Onyx?"
>>72274She follows them, not really sure what she's doing, but wanting to stay in group.
"H-hi..."
>>72275When he enters the ship, he sees that Shimmer and Dark Star are there, to either side of a hallway, as if not wanting to look down it
>>72279"Well there you are! I thought it was all me for a minute there!" he snaps out of cordial-mode and resumes searching for ducats.
He's proceeding, in whatever direction he feels will get him to the Captain's quarters. He's not sure
where the captain's quarters are, but that's where he's intent on.
>>72282Hmmm. There is a griffon down the hallway. Roll for initiative
>>72279Iron decides to enter the ship. The sooner we clear out the enemy, the better. Those ponies do not seem to care about honor.
>>72278"shh theres a griffion at the end of the hallway"
>>72258Is onyx kill? Iron got on the ship
>>72285Sister Ash steps back, less than enthusiastic to get into combat.
>>72286IRL maybe. It's kinda late.
He's just hacking the dice for some phat 20's and negate all damage from himDo I see the griffon?
>>72283is this the same one i saw?
>>72288Brie wins initiative. He can treat his opponent as flat footed in the first round, and thus get sneak attack damage
>>72290That griffin? No? A different griffin?
Yes>>72291Yes
[1d20+5 = 9]
"Too slow!"
Attacking
>>72294Miss
>>72291You want to roll initiative?
[1d20 = 10]>>72293Rolling initiative against the griffon
[1d20+6 = 7]>>72293"Shit hes aatacking Brie"
i shoot him
[1d20+8 = 19]>>72298Iron charges at the griffon, adding +4 to the damage for his spiked gauntlets.
>>72297Iron wins, but the only way he could possibly close distance is with a charge
>>72299You are at the end of the hallway next to Brie, and near shimmer and ash. you may enter combat if you roll initiative
>>72300You are behind a wall and need to roll initiative before you make an attack
>>72302>>72300You can't into the edge.
>>72303I've literally stated that I charged at him. I even added a +2 hit modifier.
[1d20 = 19]>>72303I guess I should join in.
Initiative
[1d3+9 = 11]>>72301Rolling damage
>>72304You win initiative versus the griffin. You may make an attack against him before he kills brie this round
>>72306You definitely win over the griffin, and so may make an attack before he kills brie
>>72305Calm yourself, and check which post that was in reply to
>>72307you have a higher roll than the griffin, and thus may make an attack against him before he kills Brie
[1d20 = 8]
I run back into the hall and shoot the griffon.
[1d20+3 = 19]>>72308I still have Produce Flame, so I target him with a touch attack.
[1d4 = 3][1d6+5 = 6]>>72312That's 1d6+5 fire damage, 1d4 extra fire damage, and a 15 DC reflex save to avoid catching fire.
>>72314Are you even with Dark Star and Brie? Becuase I'm not, and you came with me.
>>72316Idk anymore, but I think she came in a few minutes before him.
>>72314>>72315I don't know if he moves, but he is killed anyways by Dark Star, even besides this damage
>>72316She is, they are together inside the ship
>>72318Yes. He would be exactly 1 round from death with all the damage
>>72318Iron keeps looking around for enemies to fight. He doesn't remember that he had to kill every single one of them here, just the two advisors. Maybe the mare is hiding around here?
I do get to roll initiative again next fight, right? [1d20+1 = 15]>>72321They find him. Roll for initiative
>>72302Brie failed to kill the griffon. However, his allies jumped in and managed to kill the griffin before he could shoot his shotgun. Ash just saved the griffin from bleeding to death, and the griffin is unconscious on the floor
>>72323Done
[1d20+1 = 2]>>72324I had intended it to be only one griffin, the second of the two that Brie spotted. But.... I mean, a ship should have a large sized crew
This griffin wins initiative, and shoots at Iron
>>72325>shotgunOh, that's what you meant by "before he kills Brie"
"Just go with it."
"You be quiet!"
"Make me."
"Forget about them, focus on the ducats."
>>72326If there was ever a time to roll a 1, that was it
>>72326He must have panicked. Hard.
>>72321Which Mare?
>>72328Now, where does Brie want to go? That griffin came out an open door
>>72331Iron, at least to my knowledge, doesn't know the other advisor is dead or a changeling.
[1d20+11 = 29]>>72331Might as well go into the door, he was there with a shotgun for a reason,....
Stealth roll
>>72333No one sees him go through the door
>>72332Oh, so it's a changeling you want to find?
Sister Ash proceeds down the hallway, after determining that the Griffin is alive.
>>72336More closed doors, and a stairway
>>72334No. As I said, he does not know that the mare advisor is a changeling, or that he's dead either. He believes that's why they are all there still and not running away on the boat.
>>72334WAIT, HE ISN'T DEAD! SHIA SURPRISE!
>>72338He needs to make an attack against that griffin that failed to close the bolt on his gun
[1d20+8 = 23]>>72341Right, sorryIron charges at the griffon that tried to shoot at him, again putting +4 on his damage modifier.
[1d3+9 = 10]>>72340Oh shit! The room is only a dorm room. There is a griffin in a bed with a claw in in a "don't shoot" position
>>72343Is attack. Rolling damage
>>72342Looks like an entrance to a kitchen of some sort. No creature is seen
>>72344I walk into the kitchen and look for a fish head or piece if cheese (I list my spell components pouch; I need something for Animal Messenger).
>>72344Iron keeps looking for any other enemies in the area, intending to find that advisor mare.
>>72344"Got a live one here." Brie calls out to the hall.
>>72345Yes and yes, if you give it a few turns
>>72346None can be seen on the deck
>>72348Okay.
I grab an apple or something while I'm at it.
Iron checks his options for further exploring.
>>72349Do griffons eat apples?
>>72350There are several doors to enter the superstructure or the cargo hold
Is no one following? Is no one in the hallway?
>>72352Iron deduces that the superstructure will be where any cowards will hide. He decides to check the room out.
>>72355No apple is readily seen
>>72357There is an entrance to the superstructure in the back
>>72354"I don't know about red, more of a mix of brown and white. He might give us information though." he calls to the hallway.
"You WILL give us information, won't you? We've already dispatched several of your associates, we'll have fancy head-dresses for days. No need to spill more blood, as long as we get what we came for."
When he says "we", he doesn't mean the party btw >>72358Once she's finished, she explores the rest of the hallway.
[1d20 = 2]>>72358Iron put his ear on the door to listen for any suspicious sounds like breathing, stuff falling down and other noises that an empty ship wouldn't have.
>>72359He seems startled, and says something in some sort of foriegn language
>>72361The sound of the boiler alone
>>72360There are more doors along the hallway
