| (Disclaimer: Okay guys, I promised an update to Joeshmoe tonight, but I'm exhausted and drunk, so I don't promise this will be coherent. If it isn't, I'll update the update tomorrow. BTW, how's the music I chose working for you guys? I feel music's a great way to set the tone for dramatic situations. Anywho ...)
Modis realizes these men are professional riders, adept at controlling their mounts so that they minimize damage taken in combat. Focusing on the rider will be the easiest way to defeat them in combat.
Brudegan's bold maneuver catches Nikolai off guard, but the bandit lord dodges with uncanny reflexes. Standing 6'4" and weighing well over 200lbs, Nikolai Frostmore is an immensely powerful human. Brudegan is knocked back as he collides with Nikolai, who merely grunts at the impact. Still, Brudegan is now in melee with bandit lord, who is wielding nothing but a shortbow.
Tyrian hits the second rider, but he too dodges with uncanny reflexes. The attack catches him in the gut, harming the man but not fatally injuring him.
(All three foes have the uncanny dodge special quality, making it so they are never considered flat-footed. Nikolai cannot make an attack of opportunity against Brudegan because he is wielding a ranged weapon, but soundly defeats the fighter/rogue in a test of strength. Tyrian doesn't deal sneak attack damage against Nikolai's second Raider because of the uncanny dodge special quality, but still deals a solid blow against the man.)
(Enemy actions and updated map will be posted tomorrow.)

| Nikolai glowers at Brudegan, cautiously backing up his mount towards the injured raider. He casts a spell and the raider's wound heals, forcing the arrow out in the process. He looks over to Tyrian and scowls. "These so called 'champions' were once my allies," he informs the raiders. He then glances to each of his henchmen. "I want them alive," Nikolai shouts, "Remember, no killing while you're in my employ."
The raiders nod and flank Brudegan. The one who was injured lets out a howl as he enters a rage. Both hack at Brudegan with their battleaxes, but only the raging attacker hits. Brudegan receives a deep wound, one that pierces his armor and causes blood to flow.
(Nikolai backs up 5ft and casts a cure spell on R2. R1 & R2 flank Brudegan. R2 begins raging as a result of being injured the previous round. He hits Brudegan for 12 damage. Yeah, ouch.)

| Brudegan tumbles to I19 (i19 this font sucks)
DC for AOO: #1: 3 #2: 19
Brudegan than attacks R2 with his battle axe with flanking and sneak attack damage: Attack roll: 14 + 5 +2(flanking) = 21 Damage: 5 + 2 + 5(sneak attack) = 12

Tyrian moves to J20 and fires on Frostmore. ATTACK: 1 +5: miss Damage: 6

| Brudegan fails to effectively tumble past the first raider, but the man misses with his attack of opportunity. Brudegan deftly positions himself into a flanking position with Modis, returning the favor of burying a battleaxe deep into the second raider's body.
The second raider takes two wicked strikes from Modis and Brudegan as they team up against him. Nearly staggered, he yells out in pain. Meanwhile, Nikolai again moves his mount away from Brudegan and begins a war chant, inspiring courage in his henchmen. The first raider swings at Modis, while the second maneuvers his mount back towards Brudegan and attacks him again. The first raider hits his mark, with Modis taking moderate damage. Heeding Nikolai's words, the second attempts to hit Brudegan with flat of his axe and misses.
(AoO from R1 misses.) (Nikolai moves to G18 and uses Inspire Courage +1.) (R1 hits Modis for 4 damage.) (R2 attempts for nonlethal damage and misses Brudegan.)

| Brudegan tells Modis, "Knock them out."
Brudegan than attacks R2 with both his shield and his battleaxe to do nonlethal damage.
attack axe: 15 + 3 - 4 +2 = 16 damage axe: 7+2+1= 10
attack shield: 19 + 2 - 4 +2= 19 damage shield: 1+1+4= 6

| Tyrian straps his shortbow to his back, and draws his rapier.
((I think that's all I can do this turn.)) | |

| (Sorry guys; work's wiped me out the past week.)
Brudegan knocks the enraged raider deep into unconsciousness. The man slumps in his saddle, dropping his axe to the ground. Nikolai moves beside the unconscious man's horse, pats it behind its ear, and gives a quick gesture. The horse bolts away at top speed, charging back across the bridge and away from the battle.
(Map will be posted shortly. I'm in town all weekend, so I'll be able to post regularly at least through Monday.) | |

| Brudegan curses under his breath as he sees the horse run away. He then moves behind Nikolai and stops at E19 in a flanking position behind R1 and swings with his axe to do nonlethal damage.
Attack: 17 +2 +5 -4 = 20 Damage: 1 + 2 + 1 = 4

| (Since KevinNightfire is a family member, didn't act last round, and is probably currently busy with finals, I'll act for him this round to keep things moving. Once he gets a hold of me, he'll take over again. Also, we may have a new PC joining soon, after this battle.)
Modis performs a full attack action on R1.
Katana: 16 +4 =20; damage: 10+3 =13 Wakizashi: 14 +4 =18; damage: 6+1 =7
R1 slumps in his saddle as well. Now all that remains is Nikolai himself. He glowers furiously at the PCs.

| Tyrian moves upon Nikolai, and attempts to disarm him.
Tumble: 16 +3 = 19 Disarm: 18 + 2 =20

| Nikolai's shortbow flies from his hands, landing adjacent to his horse. His eyes narrow as he stares down Marastrianna's champion. "Now why would you go and do that, Tyrian?" The bandit draws his battleaxe and maneuvers his horse away from his foe. "You know I'm better with this anyways."

| Brudegan steps in behind Nikolai at G17 and says, "Nikolai, you should have never tried to step between me and my duty."
Brudegan then proceeds to strike Nikolai for nonlethal with his battleaxe.
Attack: 9 +5 -4 = 10 Damage: 2 +2 = 4

| Modis steps up to G19.
"Hey, you gonna stand there blubbering over your loss like a child or actually try doing some damage for once?" Intimidate check: 3+7=10 (... well, that figures) (nevermind...)

| (Since this is where the real battle begins: Battle Music) Nikolai dodges the incoming attacks. Finding himself surrounded, he has his horse sidestep and dismounts. His motions are so fluid that neither Modis nor Brudegan can get an attack of opportunity in against him. " Your twisted sense of duty will undo us all!" The great man takes a deep breath and shouts ferociously. Charged with spiritual energy, the Kiai Shout resonates through the heroes' bodies, shaking them to their cores. (Nikolai's horse moves to F18. Nikolai then dismounts, using the Ride skill to avoid attacks of opportunity from Modis & Brudegan. He then uses Kiai Shout. All PCs must make a DC 15 Will save versus fear. Regardless of their save, the PCs realize that Nikolai will be very difficult to overcome with nonlethal damage unless significant lethal damage is dealt to him first.) Save: No effect Fail: Shaken for 6 turns.
