OOC:
This is where knowledges come in, although there are other tests Khadi could try and employ if necessary.
Khadi grips her spear, desperately wracking her brain to whether she had heard of this creature as she moves to set up an advatageous position for Iseret.
OOC:
attempting a knowledge check.13 if planes, 16 if religion. Double moving (with a withdraw if its that close to her, with the aim of flanking with Iseret.)

Rolls

Knowledge religion or planes - (D20+7)

(6) + 7 = 13

OOC:
It does not appear to be undead, but a diseased, two headed dog. Identifying creatures would require a Knowledge check: Religion for undead, Nature for beasts, Arcana for magical creatures and dragons, Dungeoneering for Aberrations and Oozes, etc.

OOC:
But I'm guessing those checks will count as one action, so we won't get to attack if we choose to roll for Knowledge, am I right?

OOC:
Knowledge rolls like this to identify monsters and their weaknesses are free actions (thankfully!), so if you have the skill, might as well use it :D

OOC:
I only have nature, so I’m rolling it, maybe we’ll learn something. I hope our kind GM would consider it as a part of my previous post.

Rolls

Knowledge (nature) - (1d20+1)

(7) + 1 = 8

Tabat makes a clumsy move, and manages to hold onto his weapon, after missing with a badly off balance attack.

Isret sneaks in behind, opposite Tabat and Khadi, and very nearly gets a solid attack in, but just shave is instead.

Abenor's strike hits the dog, tearing it's mangy, worm-ridden pelt with his short sword.
OOC:
I'll roll for @surferofsaragar as they indicated that they would be away for a few days. As a rule, when acting for a player, I won't spend any resources, like spell slots or potions, unless it seems desperately needed.
Jaware lines up a shot and fires his bow, channeling a spell (Ray of Frost) into the arrow.

Rolls

Jaware attack, damage, Ray of Frost damage - (1d20+7, 1d8, 1d3)

1d20+7 : (7) + 7 = 14

1d8 : (4) = 4

1d3 : (1) = 1

Jaware Knowledge - (1d20+8)

(9) + 8 = 17

Death Dog

OOC:
The knowledge checks applied will not succeed. That is, neither Khadi nor Abenor have the requisite skill, Knowledge (Arcana). Jaware, however, does.
"It's a Death Dog. It's heavily diseased, so watch it's bite!" is the only advice he needs to give.

Death Dog
The dog snaps twice (it does have two heads), once at Tabat and once at Khadi. Both heads miss, a gross lumpy saliva spraying.

All of you are up. Attack in whatever order you post.

Rolls

Death Dog v Tabat - (1d20+4, 1d8+1)

1d20+4 : (9) + 4 = 13

1d8+1 : (6) + 1 = 7

Death Dog v Khadi - (1d20+4, 1d8+1)

1d20+4 : (4) + 4 = 8

1d8+1 : (3) + 1 = 4

"Let's try this again!" Tabat shouts as he brings his weapon around for another strike.
OOC:

Iseret tries again for a sneak attack, but the dog jerks at the last second and evades her attack!

Rolls

Sneak Attack (now with 100% more flanking!) - (1d20+5, 1d4+1d6)

1d20+5 : (5) + 5 = 10

1d4+1d6 : (4) + (5) = 9

Abenor, seeing that his previous attack worked wonderfully, tries to use it again. If something is useful, you should keep using it, right? He goes for the same head again.
OOC:
I guess the head is still intact, my first attack just dealt some damage. If I misunderstood it somehow than Abenor attacks the other head.

Rolls

Attack roll (with power attack) - (1d20+4)

(9) + 4 = 13

Shortsword damage - (1d6+2)

(3) + 2 = 5

Jaware attacks again with the same routine (Ranged Spellstrike + Ray of Frost) but adds Deally Aim.

Die monstruos aberration!

Rolls

Longbow attack (Deadly Aim) - (1d20+4)

(16) + 4 = 20

Longbow Attack (Deadly Aim and Spell strike - (1d20+4)

(7) + 4 = 11

Longbow Dmg (Deadly Aim) - (1d8+2)

(1) + 2 = 3

Londbow Dmg (Deadly Aim) + Ray of frost - (1d8+2, 1d3)

1d8+2 : (6) + 2 = 8

1d3 : (2) = 2

'I need a longer spear..' Khadi mumbles after she manages to miss getting bitten. With the others closing around the xreat she takes a careful step back, hoping either Abenor or Tabat could take her place in aiding Iseret. Their armour looked far more bite proof.

As she takes up her new position she pats Tabat on the shoulder. 'You got this'. The dung beetle around her neck glows as if in agreement, as a small portion of magic flows to the paladin.
OOC:
Read the post just before work, and was like 'Oh at lunch I' ll aid another someone'. You all managed to post in that short time :p.

5ft stepping out of danger, hopefully, then casting guidance on Tabat for a +1 to hit
Mar 1, 2022 9:08 pm
OOC:
I think Jaware has done enough damage that he's killed it, with Abenor's second hit. His second attack I think should be +5 which gives him the 12 needed to hit.
+5 = +4 Dex +1 BAB +1 Weapon Focus Bows -1 Deadly Aim

+1 from Masterwork Weapon - +6 total

But I usually use Spellcombat + Spellstrike, so it is -2 to shot a additional arrow. +4 total. I think that is what confused you.

So did we kill it? Yaay! Congrats to us.
Mar 3, 2022 4:48 pm
OOC:
Haha, I don't think so, as with the explained bonuses, Jaware's second attack missed by 1. It has 5 hp remaining I believe. I'll double check and catch up shortly.

Death Dog
The dog snaps twice (it does have two heads), once again at Tabat and once at Khadi. They both miss again.

All right, everybody gets another go. It's wounded badly but will fight to the death.

Rolls

Dog on Tabat - (1d20+4, 1d8+1)

1d20+4 : (3) + 4 = 7

1d8+1 : (1) + 1 = 2

Dog on Khadi - (1d20+4, 1d8+1)

1d20+4 : (6) + 4 = 10

1d8+1 : (5) + 1 = 6

Mar 3, 2022 5:11 pm
OOC:
So uh... that actually hits. Khadi isn't allowed to wear armour and has no dex. However I did say last turn she did step away a bit away from it when she realised how vulnerable she was. If it would follow her to make the attack.. then yeah it hits ;P.
Mar 3, 2022 7:04 pm
Jaware attacks again with the same routine (Ranged Spellstrike + Ray of Frost) but adds Deadly Aim.

I think this fight is taking longer than it should. I will solve it NOW!

Jaware shots an Arrow on each head. The head that was hit with the arrow carrying the frost spell freezes and breaks in little pieces as it hits the floor.

Tabat readies another strike just as one of Jaware's arrows pierce its skull and the creauture falls limp to the ground.

He huffs and looks around, jist in case there is more danger. Once satisfied, he sheathes his weapon and moves to look atound the small outbuilding the beast was hiding within.
