SILI opts to stay on top of his chocobo, pulls out his harp, and plays a song. The creature has no eyelids, remains standing, and was not producing any noises, making it nearly impossible to tell if the song had an effect.

DAI decides to play it safe, and drops a heavy sleep spell on the pair of Scorpions, hoping the fight could be ended with relative ease with a couple well-placed strikes by JAGA and Garus. He notes SILI's song but also knows that his spells tend to be a little more effective when they work. DAI then takes a moment to get off his Chocobo, on the side away from the Scorpions.

Elemental Seal Sleepga, so DC 22 Will save or sleep status for 4 rounds. Hits both Scorpions and no allies easy
23:15, Today: DAI rolled 10 using 1d20. 12-14 conserve Sleepga.

SILI's knowledge check result:

DAI and SILI might want to have that talk with Garus and JAGA about Sleep/Lullaby and etc, etc. And you two casters might want to call out what you're casting.

Taking JAGA's turn for him as described in PM from his phone.
JAGA, not quite sure what magical effects are going on, moves around behind #1 in order to flank for Garus.
Move E, E, E, E, E, SE, E, then tumble, S, S, S
07:57, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 15 using 1d20+14. DC 15 Tumble vs. #1.
The large scorpion does not seem to respond to JAGA's movements as he takes position on its flank, almost standing in between two of the creature's massive legs.

The smaller giant scorpion #2 does not move.

DAI's chocobo nearly hops over him as it makes its way back northward as quickly as it can. It is now 60' off of the north edge of the map on the packed dirt.

Garus's chocobo flails wildly under his massive load, flinging him off. It then moves southward 50'. It is 15' off of the south edge of the map on the packed dirt.
He had informed me he did not want it to let it carry him away from the fight.
08:02, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 11 using 1d20. DC 15 Ride soft fall.
08:02, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 4 using 1d6. fall damage.

SILI's chocobo digs in and turns to run 200' to the north. ZEIG's chocobo does much the same thing. The both of you need to determine whether you want to fall off now, prone, as a free action (DC 15 Ride check to negate 1d6 falling damage), or stay with them as they book it away from the fight.

09:31, Today: SILI rolled 24 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 17. Ride (Soft landing, DC15).

SILI tucks in as he rolls off of his chocobo's back, unharmed.

ZEIG, however, is markedly less graceful and lands on his wrist. A small pop and tingle runs up his arm as it twists a bit too far.
08:46, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 9 using 1d20-1. DC 15 Ride soft fall.
08:46, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 1 using 1d6. fall damage.

All of the chocobos are now off of the map. The three yellow ones ran north. The green one ran south.

MILO takes a step to the west next to his master and continues snarling.

Garus rises from prone and moves to cut off the huge scorpion while engaging the large scorpion. Taunting the huge one in giant as he moves.

OOC Get up from prone. Move forward one square and over two drawing trident as i move.  Also using provoke on Scorpion 1

I'm gonna be honest wi't' chu, I have no idea which directions "over" and "forward" are. 95% of the time or more, "up" is north. I'm going to move you toward scorpion #2. East, East, East. We can fix this after the fact if you tell me if that's not correct before something else takes the square you were going to move into etc.

edit-
Position slightly updated as instructed.

Garus picks himself up and walks over to the smaller scorpion while drawing his appropriately-sized crab fork and bashing it against his shield toward the huge one.

Gurlop continues to hover over the battlefield.

The huge scorpion #1 does not move.

Sili flips up in a really awesome way before ruining the moment with a song.

I bothered PMing you my actions and everything >.>

DAI moves 15ft South, and readied an action to use Fire II single target mode on the largest Scorpion that lives after Garus's action. He decides to use Manafont for the first time in a while, letting his magics flow freely.

Readied action rolls, these have not happened yet.

JAGA remains in place and begins to focus. Focus.

GM Edit-
You don't 'use' focus on anyone. It's basically just something that replaces/adds on to the Total Defense action. Read your damn class description when you get a chance.

"Looks like you guys have things under control, but be on guard."

Zeig thinks to himself that he wished he had studied nature a little more (and had know 'nature' as a class skill) and takes a defensive stance after moving to the south. Total Defense, moving south 20' and SW 5', just inside range to reach Jaga with close range spells if necessary.

Garus grunted something in giant, [sentence]. Shifting kiddy corner so he is adjacent to both scorpions grinding the trident against the second scorpion as he moves to keep its attention.

Once he has both scorpions within range he works on droping the smaller scorpion. Carfully skewering it on his crab fork.

OOC:Shift southeast 5'. Attempt to provoke Scorpion 2. Full attack scorpion 2 with Max combat expertise. Not sure if my provoke can work so ill just try it on each it doesn't cost anything but a swift action. Ac is now 28 until my next turn.

06:41, Today: Garus rolled 8 using 1d20-1.
06:41, Today: Garus rolled 12 using 1d20+4. First attack with -5 for Combat Expertis.
Im not going to bother rolling damage cause i don't think ill hit. If i do its 2d6+6.

08:16, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 21 using 1d20+5. 1st trident vs. #2 correct modifier.
08:19, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 12 using 2d6+6. trident damage 1.
08:16, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 16 using 1d20. 2nd trident vs. #2 correct modifier.
08:19, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 15 using 2d6+6. trident damage 2.

GM Edit-
you're != your

edit2-
And it looks like you messed up some addition. I see you having +6 BAB, +4 from strength, +1 from mwk weapon, and +1 from weapon focus feat to hit for a total of +10 after the -2 from your tower shield. After you subtract 5 from maximum Combat Expertise, this puts you at +5/+0. I don't see what might have caused you another -1 penalty.

Making me fix your actions takes time. Please don't make a habit of it, good sir. I apologize if I've missed something.

edit3-
And if you speak in any other language beside common, please send it in a PM to the language group. It's in the "insert private line to" drop-down.

Garus prods his trident into the side of the scorpion twice, both times wedging it under a plate of its thick exoskeleton.

DAI looses a spell directly at the huge scorpion, nailing it squarely. It shrieks again, piercing JAGA's and Garus's eardrums.

#1 takes a step to the southeast slices open JAGA's belly a slight bit, but misses with the other claw and its stinger.
08:35, Today: teslas rolled 31 using 1d20+11. #1 claw 1 vs. JAGA.

After the scorpion took damage, Sili's Virelai is no longer affecting it. Sili sings the same song at the same scorpion.

10:20, Today: SILI rolled 29 using 1d20+13 with rolls of 16. Perform (Vocal) (Virelai on Scorpion 2).

29/3=9, caster level 9, spell level 5, DC 18 or
DC 15: Target will no longer willingly harm anyone the Bard considers an ally.

Taking JAGA's action as per his PM.
JAGA takes the opportunity to finish off Scorpion #1.

23:00, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 31 using 6d6+10. damage (focus x1).
23:00, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 21 using 1d20+10. punch-in-bunch 2 vs #1.
23:00, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 13 using 3d6+5. damage.
It slumps to the ground, a very pale blue substance flying everywhere. JAGA then moves around behind #2 to flank for Garus.
23:02, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 33 using 1d20+14. DC 15 Tumble vs. #2.

Thousands upon thousands of tiny scorpions crawl up from under the tall grass and cover Garus. The grass obscures how many might be in the area.
23:10, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 2d6. #3 swarm damage vs. Garus.
23:11, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 16 using 1d20+10. Fort vs. swarm poison.
Thousands of tiny stings coat Garus. They burn like mad, but he suffers no ill effects immediately.

Scorpion #2 simply stands there, motionless.

06:04, Today: Garus rolled 23 using 1d20+5. Attack against scorpion 1.

06:00, Today: Garus rolled 34 using 1d20+14. Fort Save.
09:11, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 10 using 1d20+7. flank trident 1 vs. #2.
09:12, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 22 using 1d20+2. flank trident 2 vs. #2.
09:12, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 4 using 1d20+2. crit confirm.
09:12, Today: teslas, on behalf of Garus, rolled 12 using 2d6+6. damage.

I hit enter i guess while filling out the tag for the roll and i still filled out the tag for the 1st attack wrong. Full attack with full combat expertise. Its totally fair to use the first roll for the attack and the third. Wasting a 20 on a save that required a 2 or better.

GM Edit-
Except that you're flanking it with JAGA. Need to add +2 to the attack rolls.

DAI frowns a bit, he was glad they were doing well but he kind of felt like he had wasted tapping into the infinite reserves of raw magical energy. He gave a bit of a deflated sigh as he stepped forward, holding one hand up before tossing an earthen spear through the remaining scorpion, and crushing the ground around a few of its legs.

11:10, Today: DAI rolled 37 using 4d10+20. This is just humorous.
11:10, Today: DAI rolled 18 using 1d20+6. confirm?
