R = Are rats also known as tiny rodents, the eyes are glowing red and they seem infused with a great rage, how it came to be though you do not know. They do seem ready to attack you all.

After you have pickes a spot the rats will move (sorry they won initiative).

Group initiative =1+7+3=11/3=3.66=3 rolled: 7=10
Rats: 2 (6 times 2 divided by two =2) rolled:13=15.

After this post I will roll here in the IC thread, sadly the first post is impossible to do that so I rolled my real life dice.

[SlyJohnny]

Darrius stands with the point of his guisarme tracking the lead rat as it moves (At J17), gritting his teeth. His braided hair flails behind him as he whips his head around to look at his three charges, calling "Stand behind me!"

[Vladislav]

Eeek, rats!

Lori sends her brave wolf companion to the frontline (I17), while she huddles behind Darrius' strong back (J18). There's something about standing behind a big armored warrior that she finds comforting.

[Tibbaerrohwen]

"You beasts are nothing. You remind me of animals I grew up; the same hating eyes." Baltherus grips is club firmly in one hand and raises a finger pointing at a rat menacingly from beside his colleges (K18).

They don't stand a chance."

In their turn the rats all move forward (15' movement taking a double move)

[SlyJohnny]

Darrius reaches for one of the javelins strapped to his shoulder, stalking forward (to J16). He hurls it at the rat. (At M9.)

((Attack roll in next post, because I edited))

[SlyJohnny]

[roll0] to hit with Javelin, including penalty for range
[roll1] damage if hit

[Vladislav]

Smilie, 'git!

The faithful hound charges the rat at N10, fangs salivating (and breaks its neck, so it seems).

Attack [roll0]
Dmg [roll1]

Meanwhile, its mistress shuffles to the right and throws a very small halfling-sized javelin, more of a toothpick, really, at O11.

5' step to K17
Attack [roll]1d20+3[roll], including penalty for 1 range increment
Damage [roll2]

[Vladislav]

Messed up the attack roll
[roll0]

Also, dog has AC 16 until his next action (charge)

[Tibbaerrohwen]

Baltherus strides forward confidently one step, and let's fly a bullet from his sling at one of the rats (N10).

Legend:

R= rats
DR = Dead Rats
D= Darrius
L= Lori
S = Smilie
B= Baltherus


Two rats die swift under the onslaught of Smilie and Darrius, sadly the four that are left move towards Smilie (which gets an AoO since the rat needs to move in square with him).
The other rats do the same and also attack Smilie.

rolls:

Rat 1: [roll0] for 1 damage
Rat 3: [roll1] for 1 damage
Rat 5: [roll2] for 1 damage
Rat 6: [roll3] for 1 damage


Smilie now shares his space with 4 rats

[SlyJohnny]

On seeing the dog rush out to attack and getting swarmed by rats for it's trouble, Darrius bellows a war cry and charges forward to defend it (to M13). He's not fond of dogs, but knows what it's like to see a pet injured, and won't have it happen to a comrade.

He attempts to skewer any uninjured rat on his polearm.

[roll0] to hit
[roll1] damage if hit
-2 ac until next turn, for Charge.

[Tibbaerrohwen]

When Darrius charges forward, invigorated by his courage, Baltherus stands tall and steadies himself, taking careful aim and letting another bullet fly from his sling at one of the rats (M11), bellowing:

"Ha! Eat this, vermin!"


[roll0] (includes the -4 for firing into melee) if you need a specific target, let's say Rat#3
[roll1]

[Duskranger]

Smilie makes after an order a 5' step back and attacks the rat that attacked him.

Rolling

[roll0] for [roll1]


After that Lori checks if there is still a living rat, if not she does not attack, if there is she will try to hit it with a javelin.

Rolls:

[roll2] for [roll3]

[Duskranger]

After the last attack of smilie, rat 6 focuses to much on the dog, because of that the javelin Lori threw cuts through it en sticks it to the ground (Rat on a stick anyone??:smallbiggrin:)

The slingbullet hits a rat, which expected to be safe under the dog and kills it immediatly.

Darrius in defense of Smilie cuts it in two pieces with his weapon. His cry frightened the rat, but he was skewered before he could move.

Rolls for Javelinreturning (there's a change of 10 % the javelin you have used is broken and can't be used anymore:
Edit: 10 and under means broken javelin, else the javelin can be reused.
Lori:

Javelin 1:[roll0]
Javelin 2: [roll1]



Darrius:

Javelin: [roll2]



Darrius and Baltherus get 175 xp (100 xp bonus for the background) and 75 gp

Lori gets 75 xp and 75 gp.

On to the next battle or do you prefer to wait untill Vladislav has returned?

[SlyJohnny]

Darrius collects the bodies of the rats and puts them in his pack. He retrieves his javelin and readies himself for whatever comes next.

((OOC: Would rather not pause for a week.))

[Tibbaerrohwen]

After the battle, Baltherus peers about for more enemies, not relaxing or letting down his guard. He approaches Darrius. "Excellent fighting back there, warrior. What do you suppose is in store for us now?"

(OOC: I also would prefer not to wait a week)

Legend:

B1/2: A furry animal with a squat, powerful body. Its strong forelimbs are armed with long claws for digging. Both are 2 to 3 feet long and weigh 25 to 35 pounds. Besides that the fur of B2 seems a bit more greyishwhite while the fur of the B1 is more a brownish colour.


Roll for initiative:


B1/2: [roll0]
Players: [roll1]


Edit: Players do start. So besides your place also state your actions.

[Tibbaerrohwen]

Baltherus (H15) takes a step forward (H14) and casts launch bolt, striking at one of the fury creatures (G3) magically sending a crossbow bolts zipping through the air.


Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

[SlyJohnny]

Darrius nods grimly in the direction of the newest creatures. "I think... those. Is it our test to fight bigger and bigger animals, until we fall?"

Darrius steps forward (from I14 to I15), and prepares to hurl a javelin, waiting until the creatures draw closer. His polearm is clutched in his other hand, and as soon as the javelin is in flight, he whips his free hand back to it's shaft, holding it ready.

(Readied Action: Hurling at any creature that approaches within 30 feet of Darrius, or any creature that moves towards us and ends it's move anywhere short of that distance. [roll0] to hit with Javelin,
[roll1] damage if hit. Not including range penalties.)

L: Lori

S: Smilie


Lori moves from I16 to I15 to keep behind the large man. She has a javelin in her hand, ready to throw it to the first creature coming 30' near her. Smilie moves from K16 to J14 next to Darrius and also readies an attack or a new order from Lori.

The badgers disappear under the ground you see a hole where the badgers were the last round.

DM only:

They dig 5' under, 5' forward to M4 and G4.


New rule, do not look in spoilers which say DM only:smallwink:

[Tibbaerrohwen]

Baltherus akes one step backwards (to H15) to stand beside Lori. He fits a bullet in his sling and toys nervously with the weapon waiting cautiously for the group's opponents to reappear.

[Vladislav]

Eeek! They're underground!

Lori's nerves give up, and she huddles 20' back, and readies a Javelin attack at any beastie that pokes its head up. [roll0] [roll1]

Smilie holds his ground stoically, and readies a bite attack [roll2] [roll3]
