Preliminary Faceoff of Interminable Agency
« on: August 15, 2014, 04:04:25 PM »
A half-giant makes a rude remark about your sister in a bar.

He's asking for it. Probably going to flip a table.

This dice roll has been tampered with! Not really. Why would I want to "keep" such a crappy roll anyway?
initiative 1d20-1 : 6 - 1, total 5

There are some pirates and stuff in the bar too, and they might be persuaded to fight.

Alternatively, you can just punch each other in the face until you fall down.

Grim's vision goes red at the mention of his little sister. He means to say something about her being dead and the half-breed being a genetic mistake but all that comes out is "GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" He pulls out his chain and begins whipping it at the monstrosity.

((I didn't see an initiative roll but both are higher than the half-giant. By coincidence, neither attack roll would hit his flat-footed AC either. So let's just go with the first roll.))

Round 1
Grim (10) retrieves his spiked chain (move), and swings wildly at the half-giant (standard) ... missing horribly.
---

The half-giant ducks out of the way as the flailing chain careens off the table between them. He draws his greatsword (move), and puts his foot down on the ground with a mighty stamp (standard)!

Grim stands firm (Reflex save 20 v. DC 10), but the table topples -- and several patrons behind him are unceremoniously dumped from their chairs onto the hard floor. They look pretty pissed off and it doesn't look like they care who's responsible.

Round 2, Fight!

Grim's still pissed but experienced enough in battle to not stay flanked. He swings at his opponent and then maneuvers away from the angry patrons of the bar.

((Rolls in OOC thread are pretty painful.))

Round 2
Grim picks his way around the barroom floor (move) to give the angry patrons a clear shot at the half-giant, and lashes out (standard) with his spiked chain. The attack narrowly misses the half-giant.
---

The half-giant has had enough and closes the gap (move), before bringing its greatsword to bear (standard). Grim is staggered (my bad) felled by the attack (11 damage), and will bleed out soon if he doesn't receive first aid...

Game over man, game over!

---

So, Grim notices a pair of dingy-looking goblin slaves tailing him shortly before nightfall...

To evade the gobs, he turns down the wrong alley. Halfway there, he spots two goblins waiting for him...

The alleyway is 10 feet wide. All four goblins pull daggers and advance down the alley...

Grim thought that he had taken the right street- seemingly not. Knowing that he won't get out of this one, he turns to fight.

Round 1

Grim whips it out... his spiked chain of course... and advances (move) to eliminate his first assailant. His aim is true (standard) and the goblin slave goes down.
---

The goblins move in (x4 move), undaunted by the loss of their companion. They must be desperate...

...Grim's AOO lacerates one of the approaching goblins, and it collapses in a pool of its own blood...

The two remaining slaves close in around Grim, jabbing wildly at him with their shivs. Both threaten to land deadly blows ((no crit confirm :()) but settle for glancing blows on his legs (2 damage and 1 damage, for a total of 3 damage) .

---

Round 2, fight!

Grim lashes out again. "Haha. You're in the wrong neighborhood, kids."

((Whoops, I rolled for two and you already killed a third.))

Round 2

Grim puts some distance between himself and his assailants (move), and with a deft flick of the wrist -- fells a third goblin (standard).
---

They must have been really desperate, if the last goblin is still coming (move-step). His resolve falters however, and he fails to land an attack from his shiv (standard).

---

Round 3, fight!

Grim chuckles heartily as he takes aim at the knife of the final goblin.

((What were you thinking? You can't take two steps in the same round you attack unless you have an ability...))

Round 3, In Which Not Much Happens

Grim steps back (move), and attempts to wrest the goblin's shiv from his hand (standard) -- surprisingly the trick fails! And the goblin retains control of the weapon!

---
The goblin slave presses forward (move) and stabs again at Grim (standard)! Failing to land even the most glancing of blows...

---

Round 4, ... Do More Than What Happened In Round 3... !

I challenge you to mortal combat! Anyone, that is; I'm bored.  :D
