Gerald Shae

Gerald stares in the direction of the tavern worker's cry, glances back at the wounded man, and lets out a slight sigh.

"Look, Malach, I'll come back if you need me, but I've got to make sure no one else ends up like this..." he utters, disheartened.  He pulls out his sling, and wonders if this is a good day to start throwing rocks around...

"If it's the undead, I'd ask someone to toss me a knife.  Nothing too fancy, but one of those Stilettos would be the best tool for the job."

Gerald draws his sling and moves towards the voice of the employee.  He's hoping someone will hand him a knife,(or any other Edged weapon) since he suspects the sling isn't the right tool for the job.

Within the Inn, Gerald and Kel'Ar move towards the back doors, hearing the disconcerting sound of the Raveners trying to gain entrance. the sturdy barred oak doors seem to be holding for the moment though.
Malach stabilises the patient with the clever use of tobacco, taking a moment to catch his breath after his flurry of actio.
Upstairs Krieger pauses a second, for just a moment he thought he could hear the sounds of battle, smiling slightly he remembers battles long passed as he continues to don his armour.

Without the Inn the Rootwalker Groot pounds a Ravener into the earth, shattering it's bones with a clublike branch. While Jabe peers round for something to kill.
Thayden heads around back and peers around the back of the Inn, more Raveners scrape at the doors to the Inn, and as he watches they head up the walls with surprising strength and speed.

As the group start to get their bearings more Raveners leap and climb up the walls...

Roger Conrad

"Damned undead..."

Roger swings at the thing in front of him.

(click to show/hide)

d20+7=27. d10+7=15. I will not activate on the optimistic belief that this plus the earlier damage will be enough to put the thing out of Roger's misery.

He looks up and sees the next wave, taking a step back towards the door. (Bonus 5' step.)

"Damned Reapers..."

Roger repeats the same chant and gestures, pointing at the monster on the eastern wall and then at the two on the stable roof.

(click to show/hide)

Concentration: d20+7=21.
Spellcasting (Magic Missile): d20+12=18.
Damage: 1d6x3=4,6,3
Spellpoints=5

"Watch the walls! Malach! Get everyone into the main room!"

[foproy]

thayden bolts around the building shouting as he does, "more around back, some climbed up to the second level."

[Mister Andersen]

The rootwalker moves towards the stables with heavy deliberate steps. As he does so, one great hand collects the elf maid riding astride his -- well, shoulders for lack of a better word -- and hurls her ahead of him.

Clutching her vicious boar spear in both hands, the moon light glinting off its blade, the elf lets loose an ululating war cry as she describes a shallow parabolic arc towards one of the creatures standing astride the stable roof...

Kreiger of Bloodmoor

As Kreiger finishes fastening his chainmail greaves into place, he again swears he heard something bang or crash, and this time he is sure it wasn't from some fond memory.  Grabbing his shield, he moves to the door and sticks his head out of the room looking for the source of the noise.

(click to show/hide)

Notice: 1d20 → [18] = (18)

I am assuming an 18 Notice check is enough, so I ready my shield and stick my head out of the door to my room to see if I can figure out where the noise came from.

[Morganti]

Kel`ar

Noting that the doors seem to be holding, Kel moves up the stairways, not trusting the creatures of the windows on the second floor to keep them out.

[spolier]Both actions, moving to and then up the stairs[/spoiler]

[Daedalus]

Gerald Shae

He loads his sling, resolutely walking towards the center of the room.  He wants to make sure the patrons know he is where they can go if things get hectic. 

(click to show/hide)

Half Action: Load sling
Half Action: Move 30 feet.  He will position himself in such a way that he has a clear line of sight to at least two points of entry, just in case things get nasty.  If he has a chance of detecting that the creatures are climbing the roof, he will also try to get a clear line of sight to the stairwell. 1d20+10=27
I accidentally didn't choose my fifth proficiency when making the character, so I was going to take Mix-Up(Taunt) for use with Beguiling, which I'm pretty sure doesn't matter in this case.

Draethon and Trenevar

Draethon whistles to Trenevar, signaling for him to follow and engage, and moves to the west at a rapid pace and closes in on the undead beast before him, unleashing the fury of his axe as he swings it at the undead's head!
[Standard Attack: 19 + 7 = 26 vs. Defense; Damage: 9]

Trenevar rushes ahead to follow his friend's lead and flanks the wolf with Draethon, using his Wolf Pack Basics to gain advantage on his prey!
[Standard Attack: 3 + 4 + 2= 9 vs. Defense; Damage (if he hits): 17]

[Krensky]

Roger Conrad

Roger curses colorfully at the monster's re-corpse and looks up. He chants the same spell for the third time, pointing at the two things on Thayden.

(click to show/hide)

Resolve: 1d20+7=22 This beats the 14 for casting while bleeding.
Spellcasting: 1d20+12=18 I wish I wasn't just spamming Magic Missile.
Magic Missile: 3x1d6=5,3,5. One on each, and the third on whichever is standing. If both are still standing, the third on the most damaged.
Spellpoints=4.

Roger then moves inside to see what he can do about the climbers.

(click to show/hide)

Standard Move.
1d4 points of lethal damage from acting this round.

[Morganti]

Kel`ar

Centering himself, Kel looks left and right checking for uninvited guests, his diamond eyes glinting in the candle light, the gemstone fingernails of his claw hand extended and ready.

(click to show/hide)

If Kel can see an enemy, two hit combo, move to the enemy, pummel, claw(salt the wound trick), If i hit and the enemy lives, its got -2 to attack back from Ready Stance.  Otherwise, Kel moves to the closest room

(click to show/hide)

1d20+5 → [18,5] = (23)
Pummel, Damage3d6+9=16
1d20+5=10Claw, Damage2d6+3=55 (7 if hes bleeding)

Edit, wrong damage dice used

[Bill Whitmore]

Kreiger of Bloodmoor

Kreiger bursts through the door on his right looking for the source of the scream.

(click to show/hide)

Ok, this sequence may get complicated.

Free:
   5 ft step to door on my right

Half:
   Open door, if locked break open door

Half:
   If I failed to break open the door, try to break it open again.
   If the door is open and one of the intruders is near the door, attack him with the Jagged Sword doing Acid damage per the Path of Destruction.
   If the door is open and the intruders aren't near the door and don't look like undead, threaten 3 of them using Glint of Madness and Menacing Threat.
   If the door is open and the intruders aren't near the door and do look like undead, Taunt whichever one is closest to any other people in here who may have made the scream.

Ok, I think that covers everything.

[jscifert]

Draethon and Trenevar

No more enemies in sight, Draethon signals Trenevar to follow and they both run to the inn, hearing the chaos and commotion within.

(click to show/hide)

They will both use 2 half actions to move to the inn and enter the open front door.

[Daedalus]

Gerald Shae

Gerald stands ready in the middle of the room, and the next "thing" that approaches him is going to get hit...HARD. He whirls his sling overhead, in a manner that might be menacing if one did not know how unskilled he actually was with it.  Putting on a good show wouldn't scare such freakish creatures, but it might steel the inn staff against this threat.

(click to show/hide)

Gerald readies a sling attack (for lethal damage) for the next inhuman creature he sees, except Groot of course. 

[FunkMonkey]

Malach pulls the man to as safe a spot as possible (behind the bar maybe?).. then arms his weapon and grabs his shield.

(click to show/hide)

Not sure if I can do all that in one round. Malach will be looking to protect those in the room. He'll probably cast bless when there are a bunch of folks nearby.
