Struuk creeps along, keeping eyes peeled for a threat he can shoot.

Rolls

Perceptinitiative - (1d20+4)

(15) + 4 = 19

Ven stops Janhur with a gentle touch on his shoulder. Once she has his attention, she silently points out the foot to him and Struuk.
Oct 2, 2018 1:10 am
Janhur acknowledges with a nod, then prods the foot with his boot.

OOC:
Roll for initiative
A smallish humanoid shouts in equal parts rage and fear, then leaps out from behind the corner, brandishinng a poor quality, but threatening looking blade.

It tries to look tough, and barks something at a cluster of similar humanoids. They assemble themselves in a group, and leer at you while waving blades in your direction.
OOC:
Shall we assume you know they're goblins?
OOC:
Also, I think even without the modifier I forgot to add the goblins will be going last.

Rolls

Initiative - (1d20)

(3) = 3

OOC:
Er...didn't we roll initiative already?

Struuk: 19
Janhur: 18
Ven: 5

You're right, we did. My bad.I was away for a few days and was mixed up. Struuk is up first.

Struuk spits and lines up a shot on the ringleader.

Action 1: Hunt Target (Next attack triggers Crossbow Ace Feat)
Action 2: Attack Gobbo (Triggering Crossbow Ace Feat)
Action 3: Interact to reload (Next attack triggers Crossbow Ace Feat)
AC/TAC: 16/15 | HP: 23/23 | Hero Points: 1/1

Rolls

Crossbow Shot - (1d20+5, 1d10+1)

1d20+5 : (3) + 5 = 8

1d10+1 : (1) + 1 = 2

OOC:
I'm assuming I need to Stride to engage.
Janhur wades recklessly into the cluster of goblins, his sword thrusting and slashing.

Rolls

Longsword thrust - (1d20+5, 1d8+4)

1d20+5 : (20) + 5 = 25

1d8+4 : (5) + 4 = 9

Longsword slash - (1d20, 1d8+4)

1d20 : (6) = 6

1d8+4 : (4) + 4 = 8

Crit damage? - (1d8)

(1) = 1

OOC:
Yes, you'd need to get closer,but the thrusting swordstrike hits,anddrops a gobin.
Struuk's bolt flies wide of the goblins, but Janhur charges into the midst of them, and swings his blades. His first thrusting strike impales one of the small humanoids, and it falls tothe ground as he swings his other sword at another foe.
OOC:
Ven is up.
Oct 7, 2018 11:25 pm
Ven runs to the side to get an unobstructed angle on one of the goblins, then pulls back on her bowstring, releasing an arrow towards her hapless foe.
OOC:
Action 1: Stride
Action 2: Strike
Action 3: Strike again?

Not clear on if you can strike twice in a round, and if there is a penalty for the second one? Rolling it just in case it is allowed.

Rolls

bow attack, damage - (1d20+5, 1d6)

1d20+5 : (7) + 5 = 12

1d6 : (5) = 5

second bow attack?, damage - (1d20+5, 1d6)

1d20+5 : (19) + 5 = 24

1d6 : (5) = 5

sneak attack damage - (1d6)

(2) = 2

OOC:
I'll have to consult the rules. I'm seeing a move, 3 attacks (2 with a bow), and sneak attack damage. I'll need to look into how Sneak Attacks work in active melee.
Oct 9, 2018 2:23 am
OOC:
I went back and looked at the rules, and here's what I see: Sneak attack only really matters if the opponent hasn't acted yet. Whether they see you or not doesn't appear to matter. So, in this case, the damage would be appicable, but the impression I have is that Sneak Attack is now tied as much to initiative as it is to Stealth. Maybe someone else has an opinion on this? As for the actions, according the Basic Actions, two bow attacks + a move seems to be ok, but I'd just need to know if Ven is taking a full move, or just a 5 foot step. To answer your question, it does appear that striking multiple times in a round is permissible, even if it is a ranged weapon. Does anyone have any other input on this?

OOC:
I think they can strike multiple times, but maybe Multiple Attack Penalty applies?
Oct 9, 2018 10:41 am
OOC:
Sorry, that should have said "stride" not "strike", changed above. I intended her to move as far to the side as she can, to get a better angle on the goblins.

OOC:
Yes! Thank you for the reminder, but since it's not stated, I'm thinking the -5 for the Multiple Attack Penalty is to hit. -5 damage seems not fair. The results from Ven's turn are the same. By taking the wide turn around the goblins there should be less risk of placing herself at danger.
The goblins stand a bit befuddled for a minute, then lash out at the nearest target.
OOC:
I'm guessing this could be Struuk or Janhur. I'm going to say Struuk just because he threw the first punch, but it looks like the goblins missed, so top of the order.

Rolls

Goblin 1 - (1d20+6)

(6) + 6 = 12

Goblin 2 - (1d20+6)

(4) + 6 = 10

Goblin 3 - (1d20+6)

(1) + 6 = 7

Damage G1, if applicable - (1d6)

(6) = 6

Damage G2, if applicable - (1d6)

(2) = 2

Damage G3, if applicable - (1d6)

(2) = 2

OOC:
Struuk was shooting people, not sure if the goblins were right up on us or not. I"m fine with him running up on me and swinging. :)

"Eat it, you little shits!"
[ +- ] {A} Furious Focus (Attack, Fighter, Press)

Rolls

Longsword slash - (1d20+5, 1d8+4)

1d20+5 : (1) + 5 = 6

1d8+4 : (1) + 4 = 5

Longsword thrust - (1d20, 1d8+4)

1d20 : (2) = 2

1d8+4 : (5) + 4 = 9

Longsword chop - (1d20-5, 1d8+4)

1d20-5 : (14) - 5 = 9

1d8+4 : (7) + 4 = 11

OOC:
Consider them to be running up and swinging.
In a blaze of ferocious permative prowess, Janhur swings both swords threateningly. The goblins look well impressed after they realize they haven't been hit. They smile cruelly, and clutch at their ugly little swords.
Oct 11, 2018 4:26 pm
OOC:
I'm only wielding the one sword. Shield in the other hand. :-)

If I am understanding this correctly: Thanks to Furious Focus, the first two swings (obvious misses) don't count towards Multiple Attack Penalty. Therefore the third attack would have a +5 modifier. I'm thinking that just might hit?

Edit: Was discussing this with Naatkinson on Discord, and it turns out I was in fact slight misunderstanding the feat in that it only starts working from your second attack for the round. So then: my second attack missed and so thanks to the feat, my third attack would have been at -5 penalty rather than at -10, so a total of 9. Yeah okay I'm guessing that does miss.

Thanks!
