Those with a Spot result of 15 or higher see dark shapes flying above the trees in the moonlight.

Those with a Listen result of 20 or higher hear the ones in the nearby trees as they unfurl their leathery wings and take flight to attack.

Those with a Hide result of 16 or higher, you are hidden.

Please roll Initiative.

Initiative: 9-1=8

Kupa sees his party tensing and realizes trouble is coming. Glancing longingly at his magical plate armor stacked nearby, he readies his greatsword and peers into the darkness.

Allannon hears the intruders overhead and regains a steely resolve as he calls out for his companion Johan he swivels up out of his crouch poiting his xbows into the night sky looking for a target

BOOOYA!

1d20+2
20+2 = 22

Seeing shapes in the sky begging to come toward the group Gideon readies his heavy crossbow and points it towards the heavens ready to dole out sweet death to anything that attacks the party.

1d20+4
13+4 = 17

Initiative 17+3= 20

Look to the skies, brothers! We are under attack!

I ready my sling and prepare to attack.

(It literaly has taken over 5 minutes to get this page to load.)

1d20+0
7+0 = 7 Initiative

Arthur is half-dead (4 out of 9 hitpoints) so he is going to do the spontaneous conversion he has been trying to do for quite a while now. I assume that will take the full round.

All characters with Knowledge Arcana please give me a skill check

Knowledge wrote:In many cases, you can use this skill to identify monsters and their special powers or vulnerabilities. In general, the DC of such a check equals 10 + the monster’s HD. A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful information about that monster.

For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.

A shadowy area or darkness doesn’t provide any concealment against an opponent with darkvision. Characters with low-light vision can see clearly for a greater distance with the same light source than other characters.

Unfortunately you can't use that skill untrained which is what your +0 would seem to indicate unless you actually have a poor intelligence offsetting your ranks in that skill

A bit cryptic, is this a general rule you are throwing out for everyone just as a reminder or are you trying to tell someone something specific or

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 10:54 am

My knowledge arcana is crossed out on my sheet so I'll assume I don't have the training to roll for the check.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 12:22 pm

A character actually needs Ranks in a Trained Skill (such as Knowledge) to make a check.

No, just the poor intelligence of the player. I saw that it was a class skill but couldn't figure out why it was crossed out on the sheet. Not having a skill level in it is, why. Sorry folks.

While waiting for Graf's shots to land, I will go ahead and throw my numbers out there as well. I am going to assume that none of these leathery friends are going to do me the favor of coming down to hand to hand combat with me at the moment, so I will attack with my sling at the closest one to me.

16+3 (Dex)= 19
Sling, 1d4 damage: 3+0= 3 pts.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 7:26 pm

I'll put my attack in as well. Using the Xbow i'll attack the nearest target that is alive and not wounded.

Creatures at Range in the Night will be considered partially Concealed.
Characters with Vision abilities will ignore this.

Do you want us to roll for concealment then or will you do that?

Kupa stands around in his PJs peering into the darkness with his greatsword at the ready.

Concealment Miss Chance

Concealment gives the subject of a successful attack a 20% chance that the attacker missed because of the concealment. If the attacker hits, the defender must make a miss chance percentile roll to avoid being struck. Multiple concealment conditions do not stack.

I will roll for them (this will only be the creatures that are over 40' away)

coopasonic - Listen 8 - Unaware, Targeted

Hyena - Listen 17 - unaware of near threat, spot 15 - knows of enemy overhead. Targeted
GrafVolluth - Listen 23 - knows of nearby threat, hide 14 - Targeted, spot 11 - Unaware of threat from above.

coopasonic will be Flatfooted first round
Creatures will not attack GrandMof unless he leaves his Hiding Place

arnir and GrafVolluth are aware of the Nearby Threat.

Low-Light Vision: A half-elf can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

Humans will have enemies over 40' away considered Partially Concealed.

Verifying wish to attack instead of staying hidden and waiting:

note: Waiting will reset your Combat Initiative to the Step Chosen.

GrandMof · Post by **GrandMof** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 11:43 am

I'm going to delay the attack and stay hidden for now. Hopefully by doing this I can kill off an enemy or help someone who is in need.

I'm still going to heal before doing anything else. Plus, Arthur doesn't have a clue where he is or who is out there yet.

Welcome back. I'll check EBG to see more about the vacation.

I think I was waiting to heal myself while critters attack everyone else.
