I could manage three or more posts a week if they were all the length and depth of the one I just posted. And I agree, combat laying isn't the best in this medium.

Edit: Swype got me. Combat POSTING.

I look forward to an encounter where Malachi utilises the deadly technique of "Combat Laying". COMBATANTS BEWARE, HIS MOTIVES ARE NOT ENTIRELY WHOLESOME!

I'm literally just sitting here hitting refresh waiting to see what happens.

Or something perhaps a bit less nonsensical. Combat posting twice a week is good with me right now. Might have to be short and sweet, but it's combat, y'know?

Awaiting the next update and dreaming of the improved invisibility duo of flying rocks...

"Okay guys, take a break. We've got this."

(Just wait until I start throwing multiple stones! )

Initiative again unchanged. WHY IS NO ONE DYING!?

Tristan 26
Bandit1 19
Bandit2 19
Malachi 16 (wins tiebreaker)
Relos 16
Leader 12 (wins tiebreaker)
Bandit8 12
Bandit4 8
Calopee 7
Bandit7 4
Sehanine 3

THINGS THAT HAPPENED. THERE ARE A LOT:
Tristan summons his spiritual weapon, it gets a 19 to hit and stabs bandit7 for 8 damage.
Tristan's movement triggers an AoE from the leader that hits Tristan for 8 damage.
Bandit1 hits Relos for 6 damage
Bandit2 misses Relos
Relos gets a 7 to hit, missing bandit1 (While Relos's actions technically resolve after Malachi's, where they don't interact I wrote Relos's in first rather than constantly shifting the focus in the update)
Malachi rolls a 26, 30 and 18 respectively on his tumble checks to avoid provoking AoOs, succeeding on all but the last.
Bandit4 misses Malachi with his AoO.
Malachi gets a 12, missing bandit4.
The leader misses Tristan.
Bandit 8 moves to flank Malachi, provoking AoOs from Tristan and Malachi.
Tristan rolls a 27 (nat20) and confirms the critical with a 17, dealing 8 damage to Bandit8.
Malachi rolls an 18, hitting Bandit8 and dealing 8 damage.
Bandit8 hits Malachi, beats the concealment and deals 7 damage.
Bandit4 misses Malachi.
Calopee rolls a 23 on her bluff, beating the assembled Sense Motives.
Calopee rolls a 20 (total) on her hide check, beating the assembled spots.
Bandit7 moves into the wheat field and fails to spot Calopee entirely.
Sehanine, still without anything to mage hand about like a madwoman, deals 7 damage to the leader with magic missile.

The fire has completely consumed the hut.

Calopee is vanished in the wheat (AGAIN! Seriously, no more fights in wheat fields), nearly everyone deals 8 damage and map is up in the next post.

Same as last map, with the addition of the light blue dot being Tristan's spiritual weapon.

Relos is flanked.
Malachi is flanked.
Tristan is threatened by the leader.

The shed is now essentially an enormous bonfire, the dirt around it seems to be preventing it from spreading, but everything inside is engulfed in flames.

Calopee is hidden. Goddamnit.

Can we get running totals of damage dealt?

PC hp is updated on the first page, first post.

The leader has taken 16 damage
Bandit1 has taken 24 damage
Bandit2 has taken 0 damage
Bandit3 is dead, having taken 26 damage
Bandit4 has taken 9 damage
Bandit5 is dead, having taken 34 damage
Bandit6 is dead, having taken 32 damage
Bandit7 has taken 10 damage
Bandit8 has taken 16 damage

If you're looking for how much damage each PC has dealt...well you can count up that little vanity project yourself.

Flank you very much. Should help with tactics and description.

Is it sad that I've kept track this entire time?

Nah probably diligent or something.

Who knows when this may someday be useful.

Tristan's made his move.

Can't wait to see the next round.

Edit: Massive edit to post. Or not massive. Idk yet. EDIT FORTHCOMING.
