R7T23: Brother Jaume glares at the assassin and attempts to grab her with his meaty hands. It isn't a complete failure as he tussles with her, but she manages to evade his grasp.

R7T21: She seems confused as she is poised to attack the vulnerable and blind older man, but she resets and focuses on Brother Jaume instead. She gives him a painful poke to his left upper arm for 18 + 1 poison + pain effect.

Spoiler: Brother Jaume

Show

Though technically you do not have the staggered condition, the effect is the same as you will only be able to use a MA or a SA on your next round.

She then steps back a little.

R7T20: St. Dorn asks, "Did she try to attack me? or, did it look like she wanted to, but didn't?"

Winter answers, "Yes."

"Good," says St. Dorn. "She still there?"

"No."

St. Dorn just steps into the area once held by the assassin.

R7T13: "Sanctuary?" asks Winter.

"Yup ... grace."

"I didn't see you cast. Probably the best use of that I've seen," Winter continues, and then shouts, "Flair! We're in the hallway if you hear us! Vilma still down, St. Dorn is blinded."

Winter, who never let go of Vilma, continues to move and drag her.

R7T7: Flair, what do you do?

Brother Jaume on deck, Risi in the hole ...

Flair rushes to the aid of his teammates, hoping that he won't be too late to help.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Third verse, same as the first. Move up. If a single move action is enough to get him within 30 feet of his obviously wounded allies, he'll channel positive energy. Otherwise, he'll take a second move action, getting closer (but not within 20 feet of a visible enemy).

[lostsole31]

R7T7: Flair rushes to the aid of his teammates, hoping that he won't be too late to help. Flair turns the corner and only has to move a total of 15' before he sees all party members, all within 30', not including the bad guy. Winter is in the middle of slowing dragging Vilma towards the sitting room. Flair lets loose with a healing burst of 8 to those that need it, fully healing himself and St. Dorn, and bringing Vilma to consciousness.

End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

R8T23: Brother Jaume, you know that St. Dorn's sanctuary will only keep the assassin at bay if she doesn't try to tumble past him, but otherwise offers a breath of peace for a second. Vilma just awoke, though is still prone, and her morningstar is under St. Dorn's feet (and glowing). What do you do? Remember, your pain is such that you may only take a SA or MA this round.

In addition, roll a Fort save vs. poison!

Vilma on deck, Risi in the hole ...

[Blackhawk101]

Grimacing with the pain, the stout moneric attempts to hop up onto the table in the hallway; hopefully bringing attacks to bear on their assailant and depriving her of the height advantage.

Spoiler: crunch

SA: attempt an athletics check to hop onto the table to the SE.

[lostsole31]

R8T23: Grimacing with the pain, the stout moneric hops up onto the basin counter in the hallway; hopefully bringing attacks to bear on their assailant and depriving her of the height advantage.

R8T22: Vilma, you are prone. Your shield is readied on your arm, but your morningstar lies on the floor by St. Dorn. You are not threatened by the enemy. What do you do?

Risi on deck, St. Dorn in the hole ...

[silphael]

Vilma grabs her weapon, and stands back up.

[lostsole31]

R8T22: Vilma grabs her weapon and stands back up.

R8T21: Risi steps away from the annoyingly protected older man and the man she can't possibly beat - because the latter has the high ground. In one smooth motion she takes something from her belt and downs it, just as St. Dorn recovers his sight.

R8T20: St. Dorn feels for Brother Jaume's staff to pick it up, handing it in the direction of the clonk.

R8T13: Winter, like Flair, lets loose positive energy from her body without need of a holy symbol, providing upwards of 7 healing to Brother Jaume and Vilma.

R8T7: Flair, you have a loaded crossbow in hand. What do you do?

Brother Jaume on deck, Vilma in the hole ...

[digiman619]

Flair moves into the hallway, his crossbow trained at the assassin, steadying himself should she make hostile action against the party.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

MA:Move 20 feet to be in the 'corner' between Dorn and Vilma.
SA: Ready an attack against the assassin if they make an attack against a member of the party.
FrA:Do the whole assessment thing.

R8T7: Flair moves into the hallway, his crossbow trained at the assassin, steadying himself should she make hostile action against the party.

End Round 8, Begin Round 9 ...

R9T23: Brother Jaume, what do you do? The assassin is out of reach, you are standing on a basin counter, and St. Dorn is handing you your staff (MA to take).

Vilma on deck, Risi in the hole ...

[Blackhawk101]

Brother Jaume grins fiercely and then leaps of the table and rushes towards the assassin and through her, to end his movement directly behind her.

Spoiler: crunch

Show

MA+ SA: overrun maneuver plus move action
Move SW 5ft. Then 10 ft South
overrun: (1d20+8)[11] +2 for powerful maneuvers

[lostsole31]

R9T23: Brother Jaume grins fiercely and then leaps off the table ... badly ... but somehow manages to keep his feet. Wildly off-balance, his attempt to overrun the assassin merely serves to help him prop himself up into a more steady stance.

R9T22: Vilma, what do you do?

Risi on deck, St. Dorn in the hole ..

[silphael]

Vilma takes out her mutagen, and drinks it.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Well, mutagen for strength bonus, basically.

[lostsole31]

R9T22: Vilma drops her morningstar so she can have a hand free to take out her mutagen and suck it down. Her muscles swell and distend, pressing her armor's bindings to the limit even as her mind begins to fog over a little.

R9T21: Risi takes out a hand crossbow while stepping back and aims at Brother Jaume. Flair's shot goes off, but misses. Her shot likewise goes off at Brother Jaume, but he swats the bolt aside.

R9T20: St. Dorn puts away his hammer and puts a hand on Brother Jaume for 2 healing.

R9T13: Winter channels again for 8 healing to Brother Jaume and Vilma.

End Round 9, Begin Round 10 ...

R10T23: Brother Jaume, St. Dorn still has your staff. What do you do?

Vilma on deck, Flair in the hole ...

[Blackhawk101]

Brother Jaume tries to overrun his adversary again now that he has better footing.

R10T22: Vilma, what do you do? Your morningstar is on the ground at your feet.

Vilma grabs her weapon, and steps forward.

"I'm not sure you can keep fighting her that way !"

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Move action to recover my weapon, and 5 foot step S.

[digiman619]

Flair yells at his teammates as he reloads his crossbow. "Moving us back!" he shouts, once again using his teleportative ability, though this time he displaces all of his teammates. He then steps into a towards the room; better to face her there than in a narrow hallway.

Spoiler: OOC

MA: Reload crossbow
SA: Use genie jaunt, Obhai's major power. I can move up to my binder level of people 10 feet, so here's the movements:
Winter: 1 East, 1 North
Vilma: 2 East
Dorn: 1 NE, 1 E (to Winter's previous location)
Jaume: 2 N (to Dorn's previous location)
5 foot step East (to Vilma's previous location)

R10T22: Vilma grabs her weapon. "I'm not sure you can keep fighting her that way!"

R10T21.5: Flair yells at his teammates as he reloads his crossbow. "Moving us back!" he shouts, once again using his teleportative ability, though this time he displaces all of his teammates. He then steps into a towards the room; better to face her there than in a narrow hallway.

R11T21: Risi drops her rapier, steps forward, reloads her hand crossbow, and shoots past the monk to hit Flair for 9 + 1 poison.

R10T20: "That's it, my sanctuary is done," says St. Dorn. He then prays for a battle spell for himself as he heads back into the hallway behind Brother Jaume. "Your staff, sir, or I drop it."

R10T13: Winter gives another burst that fully heals Brother Jaume and Flair, and gives 11 healing to Vilma.

End Round 10, Begin Round 11 ...

R11T23: Brother Jaume, do you take your staff from St. Dorn or not (MA), because otherwise he says he's just going to drop it. What do you do?

R11T23: The intrepid moneric shakes his head negative before charging towards the assassin again. It is quite the tussle, and Brother Jaume is barely thrown off.

R11T22: Vilma, what do you do?

Flair on deck, Risi in the hole ...

[silphael]

Vilma gets ready for more trouble.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

I'll take a 5 foot step S, then ready an attack if she arrives in melee reach.

[digiman619]

Flair swore at the monk, as he was doing the exact opposite of what he was told. "Tu denso cazzo di madre, fall back!" He then, continuing to swear, moved behind the monk, as if to start to pull him back himself. He instead reached over the man's shoulder to punch the assassin, as it was a better option than accidentally shooting Jaume in the back due to his horrible positioning

Spoiler: OOC

5 foot step/MA to get behind Jaume
SA: Use my Pugnacious trait to increase my reach for one attack. If the dice is an 8-16, spend inspiration and Daring Exploit on it(1d20+4)[22] (1d6)[5] (1d6)[2]

[lostsole31]

R11T22: Vilma gets ready for more trouble.

R11T21.5: Flair swears at the monk, as he was doing the exact opposite of what he was told, "Tu denso cazzo di madre, fall back!"

That swear seems to come back at him with karma as the poison in the system to cause him to take 1 poison + weakened. Continuing to swear, he moves behind the monk as if to start to pull him back himself. Instead, he reaches over the man's shoulder to punch the assassin, as it was a better option than accidentally shooting Jaume in the back due to his horrible positioning. His fist bounces off of unseen magical protection.

R11T21: Risi steps back to where her rapier is and reloads. She shifts her feet when she shoots, and her own rapier underfoot causes her stance to shoot well into the ceiling.

R11T20: St. Dorn moves into the sitting room with the others while getting out his hammer, drops Brother Jaume's staff, and gets ready to hit her with his hammer should she come in.

R11T13: Winter delays ...

End Round 11, Begin Round 12 ...

R12T23: Brother Jaume, St. Dorn took your staff into the next room. With his hammer leaving, so did the light and you are in darkness. What do you do?

Vilma delays as well.

[digiman619]

Flair continues to swear at the stubborn monk, touching his shoulder before falling back a few feet.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Use Urbo's major granted power to give him 4 temporary HP.
MA: move to the north. I intend to channel energy to him next round, and we've had this "finessing where the edge of the channel burst" bit was before, so I'm asking for you not to "Gotcha!" me and put me so Jaume is currently just on the edge channel burst range, especially since there's nothing in the way of that maneuvering (as far as Flair is aware of, at least)

[Blackhawk101]

BJ moves past Flair and into the room to the East with the rest of the party. He picks up his staff and nods to St. Dorn.

Spoiler: crunch

Show

MA: move North 10 ft and East 10 ft. I cannot tell where Dorn dropped the staff but if it is in Dorn’s square move 5 ft North and pick it up. Otherwise move to the staff directly and ready to pick up if BJ is in a legal place.
SA: pick up quarterstaff

[lostsole31]

R12T22: "Come over here!" shouts Vilma.

R12T21.5: Flair resists the remainder of whatever poison was affecting him. He continues to swear at the stubborn monk, touching his shoulder before falling back a few feet to the shuttered window to the north. He doesn't see Brother Jaume (or the assassin) anymore ... of course, he was only lucky to touch Brother Jaume in the darkness as it was.

R12T21: The assassin cannot be seen by those in the hallway.

R12T20: St. Dorn re-readies ....

End Round 12, Begin Round 13 ...

R13T23: Brother Jaume moves out of the darkness and into the sitting room, picking up his staff, and nodding to St. Dorn.

R13T21.5: Flair, you are the last one in the dark hallway, light only just barely spilling in from your allies. What do you do?

Risi on deck, St. Dorn in the hole, Vilma/ Winter delaying ...
