WOLF 2

Action 1: Attacks (Jaws) + Knockdown attempt upon successful strike
Action 2: Attacks (Jaws) + Knockdown attempt upon successful strike
Knockdown [one-action]
Requirements The monster’s last action was a successful Strike that lists Knockdown in its damage entry;
Effect The monster attempts to Trip the creature. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the monster’s multiple attack penalty.
Action 3: Attacks (Jaws) + Knockdown attempt upon successful strike

Jayne
First Attack (Jaws) misses you Attack Roll of 14 vs AC20.
The second Attack (Jaws) hits you Attack Roll of 23 vs AC20. The Knockdown attempt is successful, Athletics Roll of 22 vs Reflex DC, DC14. You are now Prone but still able to maintain Raise Shield. You are off-guard (formerly flat-footed), which gives you a -2 penalty to your Armor Class (AC). You take a -2 circumstance penalty to all attack rolls. You cannot use Move actions to walk or run. To move, you must crawl (very slowly) or Stand.
The third Attack (Jaws) misses Attack Roll of 17 vs AC18. You take 3 points of piercing damage.
You stand firm in your armour. A bright steel shield is raised high. The wolf leaps forward with a mighty growl. Its heavy paws scrape the air. The beast aims for the your throat. But you shift the steel shield just in time. The wolf slams hard into the cold metal. It's sharp fangs glance off the edge. The beast misses the target completely. Gravity pulls the heavy wolf back down to the dirt. It lands with a loud thud.

The wolf attacks again and leaps through the air. You raise your metal shield to block it. The wolf steps around it and quickly bites you in the exposed shoulder. The wolf's strong jaws clamp down tight. The power in its jaws then knocks you prone down to the ground.

Now that you are prone, it decides to have another bite however, it misses and you hear its jaws snap shut at fresh air.

Trenton follows the group to the East, and seeing the wolves that are acting hostile, quickly casts Divine Lance at the nearest one.

A flash of silver-white light cuts through the gloom of the doorway to the room. A heavy, glowing bolt of pure energy slams directly into the first wolf. Golden sparks and crackling spirit magic ripple across its thick fur. The beast lets out a pained snarl. It is blasted backward and hits the wall.
OOC:
The wolf takes 5 points of spirit energy damage from the Divine Lance cantrip.

Sapphira, you are up!

"Rrrgh..." Fira bites her tongue, bloodied and furious. Of all the troubles that the group has recently suffered, she is at the front of most of them. Everyone has to die someday, but she'll be damned if it happens here and now in a crumbly old monastery at the jaws of a wolf.

"Haaaaaa..." Slipping at an angle into the room, she springs off the ground to position herself alongside the wolf in the center, dropping her foot onto its midsection as she lands. "URYAAAAAAAH!"
OOC:
Action 1: Stride to M7

Action 2: Step to N7.

Action 3: Strike N8 with fist.

OOC:
Sapphira, did you include your flanking bonus? If not, then that would be a 23 to hit. Their AC is 15 and with Flanking that becomes an AC of 13 so that would be a Critical Success.

When you critically succeed on an attack, you deal double damage. This means you roll your weapon or spell damage dice twice, and add double your modifiers (like Strength.

Wait...there are two N columns on this map.

I am here.

I would need to be one square to the east or southeast of where I currently am to flank,and with a base move speed of 25 I can't reach either of those spots with a stride and a step. I'd also be extra vulnerable to attack if my target survives,so I wouldn't be inclined to enter either of those spots as is.

OOC:
Thanks for that Sapphira! Clear! I thought you moved to N8 but have seen that I have double coded 'N' on the map. Sheesh! Will fix and repost. Sorry, Sapphira!

OOC:
That roll is a hit! The Wolf 2 takes 6 points of bludgeoning damage.

That concludes ROUND 1. We now move on to ROUND 2.

You were attacked by Wolf 1 and damaged. Wolf 2 attacked Jayne. Sorry, I was editing as I was going.
If Jayne was bit, does Shield block negate the 3 damage?
Jul 2, 2026 4:35 am
OOC:
Yes! You are right there, Jayne! Your shield has a hardness of 5 and the damage done was 3 so yes, no damage!

ROUND 2

WOLF 1
ENFEEBLED 2 until end of this turn. (Courtesy of Glimpse of Redemption)
The enfeebled condition means you are physically weakened. Enfeebled 2 gives you a -2 status penalty to all Strength-based rolls and DCs. This includes your Strength-based melee attacks, Strength-based melee damage, and Athletics skills (like Grappling or Shoving).

Action 1: Strides (to attack Sheon).
Action 2: Attacks (Jaws) + Knockdown attempt
Action 3: Attacks (Jaws) + Knockdown attempt

Sheon, you take 6 points of piercing damage. Both Knockdown attempts failed.
The wolf lunges forward with sudden intensity, targeting the your shoulder, Sheon. Despite the protection of leather armour, the force of the impact was significant, pinning you back. The animal held its grip firmly, using its weight to maintain control as you struggled to break free from the sudden and painful pressure of the nip.

Finding a new opening, the wolf pivots and strikes a second time, catching the your leg. The sheer force of the maneuver brings the you almost to the ground. The wolf maintains its hold, creating a high-stakes struggle for dominance as you fight to find a way to repel the persistent animal's nip that draws blood.

Rhaemy you are up!
Jul 2, 2026 11:03 pm
With no way to defuse the situation without further bloodshed, Rhaemy finally accepts that only way forward is for the wolves to be put down. She quickly sprints into the room, weaving through her allies to find a suitable location. She raises her hands and makes a quick gesture toward the two beasts as lightning arcs from her fingertips.
OOC:
One action to Stride to M7.
Two actions to cast Electric Arc targeting both wolves

Rolls

Electric Arc (Basic reflex vs DC 17) - (2d4)

(41) = 5

OOC:
Basic Reflex vs DC17:

Wolf 1 takes no damage after that Critical Success on his roll.

Wolf 2 takes full damage after that Failure on his roll.

Wolf 2 takes 5 points of electrical damage from the Electric Arc spell.
With a sharp snap of the jaws, the first wolf anticipates the spell's spark. It instinctively drops its belly to the frozen earth just as a fork of jagged blue lightning arcs from a nearby target. The electrical discharge harmlessly scorches the air above its spine, kicking up a spray of dirt before dissipating into the ground.

The other wolf is not so lucky. Caught flat-footed in the open, the wolf is overwhelmed as a brilliant bolt of lightning leaps from the primary target directly into its chest. The crackling discharge locks its muscles tight for a agonising second, sending white-hot sparks flying from its coat as electricity courses through its frame. With a sharp whine, the beast collapses sideways, shaking off the burning ozone to scramble back to its feet.
