Under Bracken: Through the Secret Door

[Sagar]

You came from the west.
The rogue ran east
Water is in the narrow corridor to the north.

[Shiz]

Ash, hide at O15. You are too close to us where you are now. Hopefully you will see the rat move west towards us and you can trap him between us.

[Sagar]

You guys ready to pull the trigger?

[Zyzzyx]

Redd shows up beside Solak, holding Boo, looking forward to some action.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Looks good to Brun. She'll flatten against the wall to be less easily seen.

[Shiz]

You guys ready to pull the trigger?

Yes. As stated before, we will play this up for an hour or so.

[Sagar]

The party heads back west to check out the narrow, northern corridor. As they do so, Fandango hangs back a bit as if keeping an eye on the hallway.

Trask moves north a bit and discovers the water doesn't get very deep nor does the room ahead appear occupied.

At a signal, Amaril exclaims and drops his sun rod, extinguishing it. He immediately picks it back up as the rest of the party exclaims in worried tones about the last of light. It is almost completely dark - with just light fluorescence coming from the damp wall and a faint light visible from the northern end of the hallway.

In the darkness, Fandango moves swiftly and silently back to the open room and waits quietly - spider senses alert and ready to tingle.

[Sagar]

I need perception checks from everyone except Fandango (he did one already).

[DinbinFanfoom]

Perception!

7+2=9 (No surprise. No lowlight)

I'm only really waiting for someone to yell for me anyway. I assume someone will light something before I do, or I run a 50% chance of running over Fandango instead. In hindsight, we should have posted Trask at the end of the row as lookout... Brun could charge through him without penalty.

[Shiz]

Trask isn't in a position to see the main corridor all that well but I will roll one because you asked.

Perc +16 = 28

[Lycos]

I perceive many things. I don't have to roll, right? :D

[Asharad]

Hey Sagar, wait till you get a message from me. I've got another idea. it will say "big idea" on it.

[Sagar]

Please give me an initiative roll as well.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Please give me an initiative roll as well.
OOC: Yay! We caught... something!

Init 18+9 = 27

[Sagar]

By the way, you guys are royally screwed (not that you know it yet).

I will be very interested in how you get out of this mess.

[DinbinFanfoom]

By the way, you guys are royally screwed (not that you know it yet).
I will be very interested in how you get out of this mess.Bah, if Brun had a nickel... :D
If you are right, it'll be a first. Every time you say "this will be a cakewalk", we spend a week in an encounter and barely make it. When you say "OK, these guys are more challenging..." we disembowel them in like 3 rounds.

[Asharad]

If you need initative from me...

[Shiz]

Hey Sagar, wait till you get a message from me. I've got another idea. it will say "big idea" on it.

If we are screwed, I will blame it on Fandango's crappy rolls!

Trask Init +7 = 13

[DinbinFanfoom]

Brun secretly prays that someone flukes out and rolls higher than her in the init order and LIGHTS A FRICKIN' TORCH. Maybe something will hit Fandango with a fire attack and she'll see where he is. *crosses fingers*

[Greebo]

Greebo, from a parallel universe, can be heard starting to take bets and calling out odds...

[Shiz]

By the way, you guys are royally screwed (not that you know it yet).

I will be very interested in how you get out of this mess.

Re-roll and start over! hehe. Trask was really coming into his own soon....:lowlol:

We can always run...

[DinbinFanfoom]

Re-roll and start over! hehe. Trask was really coming into his own soon....:lowlol:
We can always run...I always thought the closer of the southern doors would have been sufficient, but oh well. Let's see what happens. Come on, Sagar, put us out of our misery! :D

Sagar: "You hear a yelp, and a splash... and suddenly you realize Trask is no longer standing with you..."

[Shiz]

Water Weasel!

[Sagar]

Water Weasel!

ROFL!

Don't give me ideas.

Because I am a nice DM, I will give you a three words of advice.

"Don't run north"

[Greebo]

ROFL!

Don't give me ideas.

Because I am a nice DM, I will give you a three words of advice.

"Don't run north"

Softie

[Lycos]

I'm guessing we never put a rope around Trask like I had recommended a while ago?

[Sagar]

From the east, down the hallway, the party sees a dim light flare up and hears, "Kill the intruder!"

At about the same time, some unseen something attacks Brunhilde, seemingly from out of thin air. The attack (22 vs fort) slams Brun hard (11 damage) and immobilizes her (save ends).

Fandango
As you move into the hallway, a light flares behind you and a voice says, "Kill the intruder!"

A wererat very near you attacks you from behind (28 vs AC) and slashes you with a shortsword (12 damage).
The other two rats spill into the hall as well.

http://www.primeaxiom.com/rpgt/scene.asp?ID=fujvgr16i2y4ppjwxb71fjqybbl6lqfijmyit z4ej57vvkmolknq6qj7txqd8fnw

[Sagar]

Sorry.. was busy. And I left my notes at work.. doh.

The party hears sounds of rushing feet and combat back down the hall. Fandango cries out in pain. So does Brunhilde. Most of you can't see due to lack of light. Amaril can fire up his rod as a free action (iirc).

Off in the far distance, you hear impassioned cursing... "Of all the STUPID, HAIRBRAINED...." and the sound of running feet coming from the east.

[Sagar]

I think I still need perception and init from Solak and Amaril.

Could someone roll those?

[Asharad]

Fandango yells, "I've got four wererats to the east and something big between me and you."

[EricStratton]

I think I still need perception and init from Solak and Amaril.

Could someone roll those?
That's about all I have time for.

PERC: 14+5=19
INIT: 10+7=17

And I re-light my rod.

[Asharad]

light your rod! light your rod!

[Shiz]

Solak rolls:

Init +8=21
Perc +5=25

[Sagar]

Amaril relights is sunrod and Solak gasps. He points at the space in front of Brunhilde and says "What the hell is that!" Of all of you, only Trask can see what his is excited about.

Please give me nature checks for Trask and Solak.

[Shiz]

Solak Nature +10=14
Trask Nature +8=23

[DinbinFanfoom]

Amaril relights is sunrod and Solak gasps. He points at the space in front of Brunhilde and says "What the hell is that!" Of all of you, only Trask can see what his is excited about.Can Brun see what is adjacent to her?

Result: 14

Brun: "Huh... gooey..."

Brun pinches herself and frowns. She can't figure out how she stumbled into one of Fandango's jello-wrestling fantasies.

[Sagar]

Trask mutters an oath as he spies the almost transparent .. thing.. attacking Brunhilde. It is a gelatinous cube.

http://www.primeaxiom.com/rpgt/scene.asp?ID=fujvgr16i2y4ppjwxb71fjqybbl6lqfijmyit z4ej57vvkmolknq6qj7txqd8fnw Trask remembers that cubes are virtually invisible (at least, they are until they hit you) and they attack by extruding pseudopods that slam their foes. They also try to engulf and dissolve foes. It's how they eat.

[Lycos]

Baladir, switches weapons to his wand. And uses it on the gelatinous cube.

[Shiz]

Round 1 Trask:

Scare the ooze!

Cause Fear (Implement), +8 vs WIL, R10, target moves its speed+1 away avoiding unsafe and difficult terrain if possible and provoking OAs

26 vs WIL.

That has to hit. Which direction will it flee? West I assume.

Solak, use Stinking Cloud of Icy Grasp to lock down that Cube once it runs.

And I was thinking of swapping Cause Fear out next level! Command would have worked too, I guess.

[Sagar]

Ok.. let's get started:

InitCombatantDmgTHPA/PSurgesHealsEffectsDailies Used27Brunhilde50/620270-25Selmik0????-?22Fandango35/480130-21Wererogue0????-?21Solak41/410100-Sleep18Gelatinous Cube0????-?17Amaril45/480110diseased.15Wererat 10????-?13Trask42/450122-210Wererat 20????-?8Baladir46/570070diseased.


Brun, as was said, you can attack but not move.

(all but Fandango)
With the advent of light, and with Trask's shouted warning, you can all now make out a large shape that fills the corridor before you. It's almost completely clear - like thick water - and it is very strong.

[DinbinFanfoom]

OOC: Not much else to do but...

Brun will swing a Reaping Strike at the cube (+11 vs AC, 1d12+7 damage on hit, 5 on miss)

ATK: Moot
Damage: None

Brun: "Ack! Slippery!"

[Asharad]

I will use Blinding Barrage.

Attack vs Sel: +11 vs AC = 13 (probably a miss)
Damage vs. Sel:2d4+5 and blinded= 8 (4 on a miss and not blinded)

Attack vs wererats1&2: +13 vs AC
Damage:2d4+4+2d8

22 vs wererat 1
27 vs wererat2
damage:9 each and they are blinded

Minor action I will quaff a healing potion.
Move action I'll slide to L13

Action point!

I will move to j15. if I can close the door I will, if not I'll just stand so only on of them can get to me at a time.

[Sagar]

Brunhilde tries to swing at the cube, but her numb feet get in the way and she doesn't get off the attack.

The lead wererat attacks Fandango (30 vs AC) and hits the thief with his short sword, catching him off balance and doing additional damage (15 total). Fandango is bloodied.

[Sagar]

Fandango, still calm, unleashes a blinding barrage against his foes. Selmik is unaffected, but the two wererats are hit and blinded (9 damage each). Fandango uses the distraction to drink a healing potion (+10 hp).
Fandango then shifts away from Selmik and (AP) dashes to the south door - shutting it behind him.

The wererogue whips a dagger and it (26 vs AC) slams into the back of Wererat 2 (11 damage).

Solak:

[Shiz]

:floored: Do we have allies?

Solak Round 1:

Minor: Prestidigation - creates the sound of a few armored men angrily arguing coming from the west
Attack the cube: Illusory Ambush; +7 vs Will, 1d6+5 psychic dmg, target takes -2 to attack rolls until end of my next turn

ATK 14 vs WIL, 10dmg, -2 debuff
Bluff check +3 = 19

[Sagar]

Solak mumbles and gestures and you hear the sounds of men arguing down the west corridor.

He then gets down to serious spellcasting and casts dangerous illusions at the cube. The cube doesn't seem to notice anything, though (14 vs will - miss).

The cube splits on one side and reaches out towards Brunhilde. She is unable to evade due to her immobility and she is engulfed by the gelatinous mass.

Amaril...

[Shiz]

Fly-in-the-ice-cube! I knew it!

[Sagar]

[DinbinFanfoom]

OOC: I did not realize Brun was in a "save ends" state, at least I didn't pick that up from what was written, thought it was just out of combat flavour. If I can't roll this for the turn I just completed, disregard. If it IS OK, can I start trying to escape next round?

[EricStratton]

Yikes.

Amaril will get out of the way (move to G6 - Shadow Walk, concealment). Try to let the melee'ers move up.

Then he'll curse the Cube and cast Witchfire (encounter) on it.

Witchfire: 6+7 vs REF
Dmg: 2d6 + 5 + 1d6 =8+5+2=15 dmg and cube takes -6 to attack rolls until end of my next turn.

----

Dammit.

[Sagar]

EDIT: The gelatinous cube opens wide to engulf Brunhilde but she, shaking off her immobility, tries to evade it. It moves to grab the dodging warrior (18 vs Ref 17) and succcessfully engulfs her.

Amaril moves back - gaining concealment. He then casts Witchfire at the cube and but the spell splashes off the creature (13 vs REF).

Wererat 1, blinded, slashes out at where he thought Fandango was.. but he misses badly as the rogue is gone.

Trask, inspired, casts fear at the cube. His attack penetrates (26 vs will) and the cube slithers back the way it came at a frantic (for it) pace. It takes Brunhilde with it.

Wererat 2, blind, drops into a wary defensive crouch (+2 defense).

Baladir grabs his wand an looks up, but the cube is no longer in sight. If you want to move forward, you can still do so.


http://www.primeaxiom.com/rpgt/scene.asp?ID=fujvgr16i2y4ppjwxb71fjqybbl6lqfijmyit z4ej57vvkmolknq6qj7txqd8fnw

End of round 1.

[Sagar]

Brunhilde, you are dazed and can only take one action. You also take 10 acid damage while engulfed. If you want to try to escape, make an acrobatics check vs the cube REF or an athletics check vs the cube FORT. If you succeed, you can move to any open square adjacent to the cube.

[Shiz]

The cube is between us and the other enemies, giving us cover I expect. Let's not be too hasty in attacking it, but certainly get out of this hallway.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Round 2:

Brun will try to escape the cube to the west, back towards the party. (standard, I guess)

Result: 30 (I'm hoping that does it!)

Brunhilde bursts from the cube and hits the ground like a birthed baby deer, wobbly and wet.

[Lycos]

Baladir will move to I 12. How long does this fear last? And I will put the wand away and switch back to sword and shield.

[Asharad]

Grinning wildly, I'll move to E13 and use a healing surge (second wind or whatever...something I don't think I have ever done).

That should bring me up to 42 hit points.

"Nice trick, Trask! Sorry guys, I ran into a little company."

[Sagar]

Brunhilde takes 10 acid damage as she is slowly digested by the gelatinous cube. With renewed strength almost born of panic, she manages to squirm her way out of the cube and into the hallway.

Selmik pauses, as if confused about where Brunhilde came from. Then he gestures and a glowing.. something.. forms east of the party in the hallway. The glow dims and a dire rat appears.

Fandango opens the door and moves back to the party. (would you like to attack the rat rather than use second wind?)

[Sagar]

The wererogue pauses to let the wererats get the blood out of their eyes.

Solak...

[Asharad]

Yeah, I better attack the dire rat instead of using second wind.

Attack:+11 vs ac = 26
damage:1d4+9 = 12 or 23 with sneak attack

[Shiz]

Is the cube providing cover to the wererats?

[Asharad]

I assumed it was. Maybe it isn't. if it isn't I'd like to switch my move to I13 and my attack to Selmik.

[Shiz]

Solak moves to H12, then targets M13 with Grasping Shadows; +7 vs Will, Area Burst 1 (3x3), 1d8+5 psychic dmg, target slowed until end of next turn; any creature entering the area takes int mod (5) dmg, slowed until end of its next turn.

Cube: 22 vs WIL, 11dmg
Selmik: 14 vs WIL, 11dmg
Rat1: miss

Do not enter this area, now (L12-N13 3x3 area). It will affect us if we step into but it will also protect our "flank" from that direction. We should get cover from the cube so we can focus on it more safely.

Trask can also use his bow push power to push the cube towards the shadows and the wererats.

[Sagar]

Trask can also use his bow push power to push the cube towards the shadows and the wererats.

How large an object can that push?

[Shiz]

The power does not specify any size limitations. If it is a target, I can push it I guess. Yes, pushing jello with an arrow seems weird...

[Sagar]

OK, after much reflection and checking of sources - and learning lots more about Line of Sight and Line of Effect - you do have line of sight and line of effect to the rats for magical attacks but not for melee ranged attacks. There is, just barely, room over the cube to send magic.

Also, I cannot find a size limitation on push effects. So, illogical as it sounds, Trask can push 1000 cu feet of jello with arrows..

Also, the dire rat has not moved yet this encounter. Fandango can use his special rogue damage on it.

[Asharad]

Also, the dire rat has not moved yet this encounter. Fandango can use his special rogue damage on it.

As much as I love doing extra damage...that's usually only at the start of the encounter. I don't know what it means when the direrat is starting the encounter but the rest of us are already in it.

I'll add the role to my original post and you can add it if you want.

[Shiz]

The First Strike feat or whatever is explicit: you get CA against any enemy that hasn't acted before you. I agree with Sagar's ruling. I would also understand if he put a limit on pushing but 4E is so explicit about not being limiting based on weapon type that even though it is bizarre logically in this case, it just makes things simpler overall. Only "insubstantial" provides real weapon immunity in 4E.

[Lycos]

OK, after much reflection and checking of sources - and learning lots more about Line of Sight and Line of Effect - you do have line of sight and line of effect to the rats for magical attacks but not for melee ranged attacks. There is, just barely, room over the cube to send magic.

You da man. Whatever you say!

[Sagar]

Fandango, sensing an opportunity, moves quickly and attacks the dire rat. His attack slices hard and deep (23 damage) and the dire rat is bloodied.

...

Solak moves into the main hall and, spying a small gap between the cube and the ceiling, sends a spell towards the wererats. The spell threads it's way through and grasping shadows bloom amid your enemies. The cube is affected (11 damage, slowed), but Selmik and the dire rat are not.

[Lycos]

I'm kinda lost. Where are we in the battle order and all?

[DinbinFanfoom]

I'm kinda lost. Where are we in the battle order and all?
After Solak now.

[Shiz]

Ok.. let's get started:

(all but Fandango)
With the advent of light, and with Trask's shouted warning, you can all now make out a large shape that fills the corridor before you. It's almost completely clear - like thick water - and it is very strong.

The cube's move, Lycos. I expect it will attack Brun again. Let's hope she isn't immobilized again.

[Lycos]

My next move, I will move to D13 (and take the OA).

Divine Challenge the dire rat, and Holy Strike it.

Holy Strike! (+10 to hit vs AC, 1d10 + 6 Damage for strength and sword) + 2 more in damage if marked. +12 to attack since Fandango is flanking it with me.

[Shiz]

Assuming ES is out until this afternoon, so taking the liberty.

Amaril
Move to G13 (concealment)
Curse dire rat (minor)
EB rat - MISS

Trask
Move to H13
Quarry cube (minor)
Thundertusk Boar Strike cube:+9 vs AC, Two attacks, 1d8+5, hit: push target 1 square or if both hit same target push 5 squares
28 vs AC, 8+5+5=18dmg
23 vs AC, 6+5=11dmg
29dmg, push 5 squares (or into the wererats anyway)

Once the cube is non-adjacent, let's not attract its attention if we can help it. Pull back 4 or more squares. The rats cannot attack us through the cube. If we have to fight the cube, the rats cannot cross the Grasping Shadows without taking 5 dmg and getting slowed. Selmik should be annoyed with the rogue rat anyway.

I cannot wait for a narrative summary of what the eff actually happened to get all these guys in one place.

[Sagar]

I was planning on letting the cube pick it's next victim randomly, but since Trask said it's going to attack Brun....

updated status (had incorrect init for cube).

[Sagar]

Amaril moves and vanishes into misty shadows (concealment). Unseen, he curses the dire rat and fires a magical blast at it, but (3 vs AC) misses.

The Wererogue races up to the wererats and yells, "Hurray! Don't let them get to Her!!" (Bluff 23 vs insight). Wererat 1, having been blinded during the cubes move, and having failed both perception and bluff checks, and already in the shadows, leaps forward to attack Brunhilde and gets engulfed by the cube.

Wererat 2 stares and says, "But the Thing is there and... you.. YOU! TRAITOR!"
The wererogue snatches his dagger from the rat (minor) and stabs at it again (setup strike 26 vs AC, 15 damage, rat grants CA until eoRt3). The rogue then uses an AP to attack again (natural 20, Riposte strike 11+12+3 damage). Offbalance, the wererat can to little to avoid the wererogues second attack which cuts deep and leaves it very seriously wounded.

[GravenStone]

You're making *my* head hurt, trying to tell friend from foe from other foe...

[Sagar]

Trask moves into the hallway and studies the cube for a moment (making quarry). Noting a few curious nodules where the cube may be sensitive, Trask fires once.. twice - both times hitting the nodules (29 damage total) and causing the cube to shy away from the "pain". It slithers eastward until it encounters the wererats.

There, it tries to engulf Selmik (25 vs Ref) and does so.

The dire rat tries to bite Fandango, but he dodges easily (7 vs AC).

Wererat 2 attacks the wererogue but the wererogue triggers his riposte strike as an interrupt. The rogue misses (15 vs AC) and so does the wererat (17 vs AC).

Baladir moves to flank the dire rat. The dire rat attacks (22 vs AC), biting Baladir hard (8 damage).
Baladir tries to return the favor - challenging the rat and smiting it with holy ferver (31 vs AC, 9 damage).
The dire rat is reeling and near death.

End of round 2.

You're making *my* head hurt, trying to tell friend from foe from other foe...

ES did this to us in grp 4 and we kept inadvertently killing our allies as a result...

[DinbinFanfoom]

Still dripping goo, Brunhilde backsteps, shifting west (move) while she tries to figure out which are friends and which are foes. The only thing she is certain of is that the cube is BAD.

She throws her smaller axe at it.

(+11 vs AC, 1d6+8 damage)

ATK: 26 vs AC
DAM: 11

[EricStratton]

ES did this to us in grp 4 and we kept inadvertently killing our allies as a result...
It's true, I did. Which makes me wonder if an Insight check might help here....

[Lycos]

I'll roll my Insight, if that helps clear things up, but I think we should leave the wererogue alone until we finish this fight. Then we can use insight into what he is thinking.

[Shiz]

Trask will also roll an Insight check to see if he can interpret what the hell is going on.

Insight +6 = 24, hopefully that will give us a clue if not the whole story.

What I cannot figure out is why did Selmik & Co attack us if they are against the vampire-led wererats? Did they think we were down here patrolling or something?

[Sagar]

Trask pauses to figure out what is going on with the wererats. All he can tell is there is new hostility between the rogue and the others. Hostility, he is sure, that wasn't there moments before.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Brun tries to figure it out, too. (insight +2) Maybe one or some of these guys are working with the were-types we met top-side? Now that Semlic and that other rate are suspended in gel in front of her, maybe she can see something new about them?

Haha, rats in jello! Is this some sort of macabre picnic?

OOC: Ah well, it was a free roll.

[Shiz]

Rats and bearded female lumberjacks! We can sell tickets!

Oh and way to go and waste a crit roll for one of us!

[Shiz]

Gone the rest of the day. Trask's turn isn't close, though.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Brun considers that it seems as if the wererogue has been using US to tip the balance of power down here... see how he is using us and the cube against... his enemies? He has goaded us and taunted us at each turn. Are we clearing out his rivals for him?

[Lycos]

He might see it as that. The only real way to know is to talk to him.

[Shiz]

We have to kill what attacks us. Selmik and his crew attacked Fandango unprovoked.

[Lycos]

We have to kill what attacks us. Selmik and his crew attacked Fandango unprovoked.

Right, kill them, not the wererogue.

[EricStratton]

You sure? The wererogue was not our friend at the beginning of this. Didn't he hamstring Brun or Baladir?

[Asharad]

He stabbed the crap out of me too. This seems to be a recent turn.

Still..we can kill him last, I reckon. Give him a chance to talk.

[Lycos]

Still..we can kill him last, I reckon. Give him a chance to talk.

Yeah, if he attacks again, he's dead meat. We can talk first if he gives us a chance.

[Shiz]

To catch him, we have to surround him. Risk OAs to do it. Unfortunately, we don;t have any pull powers in this group or we could drag him into the Grasping Shadows.

Also the map has Bal in the wrong place. He should be flanking the rat at D13.

[EricStratton]

We can knock him unconscious instead of killing him.

[Greebo]

To catch him, we have to surround him.

No.

See: Grab - PHB 290

[Shiz]

That's something no one in any of the games has tried yet!

[Greebo]

That's something no one in any of the games has tried yet!

There is a list on page 289 that EVERY player should get familiar with. It lists the documented moves available to everyone. Little things like Grab, Bull Rush, Coup de Grace, and Total Defense, for example...taht can really change the way a fight is going.

Brunhilde, not sure what is going on, settles on a safe approach and throws an axe at the cube. The axe strikes (26 vs AC) the cube solidly (11 damage) and returns to her hand.

Selmick, the wererat, takes acid damage from the cube but, like Brunhilde, manages to escape (21 vs Fort).

The wererogue takes another stab at rat 2 witih his dagger (14 vs AC) but misses. Seeing Selmick looking dangerous, the rogue opts to exit, stage west and tumbles away to the west.

Solak..

[Asharad]

I'll kill the dire rat.

Attack:20 vs ac
Damage:20

[Shiz]

Round 3 TrasK:

Minor: Healing Word to Fandango (12+4+1d6=17)
Std: Attack the cube with Lance of Faith (Implement), +8 vs REF, R5, d8+6 radiant, hit: +2 bonus vs target to one ally in sight

19 vs REF, 11dmg, +2 to Amaril next round vs the cube

[Zyzzyx]

Solak looks a bit confused, pondering over what he's done so far with this odd assortment of creatures. His pause always looks to take too long, but he gestures and a couple snowballs appear in-flight on their way to the cube and Selmik.

- Icy Rays; +7 vs Ref, target one or two creatures, one attack per target, 1d10+5 cold dmg and immobilized until end of next turn

[Shiz]

Question for the DM: can one long jump over an area of enemy or allied magic? Say an icy patch or a spot of grasping shadows?

[DinbinFanfoom]

Question for the DM: can one long jump over an area of enemy or allied magic? Say an icy patch or a spot of grasping shadows?I like where you're going with this, but I think the rogue has too much of a lead for us to catch.

[Shiz]

Well, fighters stop marked enemies from moving with their OAs (Combat Superiority) and Brun has the best Athletics mod...

Still, the cube has to die and flatten out before we can even consider that.

It doesn't say so in the power description for Grasping Shadows, but I assume a Wizard can end any area affect at will before the end of the encounter.

[Lycos]

Round 3: Baladir

If the dire rat is dead, and if there are no enemies in the immediate area close to him. Baladir will catch up to Brun at J13.

[Zyzzyx]

Grasping Shadows only lasts one turn. Others, like Stink Cloud, Bigby's, and Flame sphere, are a 'Sustain Minor'.

[EricStratton]

Amaril round 3:

After looking at the discussion thread it looks like we're going to ignore the rogue for now. Which is good b/c Amaril can't reach him to immobilize him. I thought about hitting him w/ my Daily which allows me to slide him but I'll save it.

Assuming Fandango finishes the Dire Rat Amaril will keep on the cube so we can get to Semlik. Curse the cube and Eldritch Blaaaaaaaaast!

EB (on the cube): 18+7 vs REF
Dmg: 1d10+5+1d6=7+5+2=14 dmg

[Sagar]

Solak fires two icy darts at his foes. The first - aimed at the broadside of a barn that is the cube - (13 vs ref) shatters harmlessly against the wall.
The second, carefully banked off the ceiling to get over the cube (full cover -5), actually JUST manages to strike the still dazed Selmik (22-5+2 vs REF). The wererat is spiked with cold (14 damage) and immobilized.

Amaril, with a smirk at Solak's inability to hit a wall, rares back and fires an eldritch blast right into the center of the cube. Liquified goo flows out as Amaril attack blasts a goodly sized hole in the side of the cube (14 damage).

Wererat 1 takes acid damage and tries (12 vs Fort) but fails to get out of the cube.

[Asharad]

I believe I got skipped.

[Sagar]

Fandango, annoyed at being skipped, takes his irritation out on the hapless dire rat - (20 vs AC, 20 damage) basically filleting it in a fit of pique. The dire rat expires.

Trask heals Fandango (17) then fires a lance of faith at the cube (19 vs Ref). His strike also hits (11 damage) and liquifies more of the cube. A trickle of goo continues to flow from the wound (bloodied).

The cube, sensing a helpless foe, re-engulfs Selmik.

Wererat 2 charges after the rogue and impales him (natural 20) on his shortsword. The rogue looks pained (12 damage). Wererat 2 regenerates a bit.

Baladir moves up to stand next to Brunhilde.

End of round 3.

gotta run.. updates later. Don't wait for me to post your next attacks:
Basically, cube is bloodied and getting a bit smaller, but still provides complete cover for the rats. Selmik and WR 1 are engulfed in the cube. WR2 and the Rogue are locked in combat 20' past the cube.

[Lycos]

Baladir is waiting for the cube to be defeated by the casters. Other than that, once the cube is defeated, I'll decide on my move then.

*looks at the goo covered Brun and snickers*

What is Brun gonna do?

[DinbinFanfoom]

OOC: Oops! Sorry, hadn't checked back in a bit. Well, since we haven't cleared the cube yet... no way for Brun to get through.

She throws her axe at it again.

(+11 vs AC, 1d6+8 damage)

ATK: 30 vs AC
DAM: 12

[Sagar]

Brunhilde whips her throwing axe at the wall of jello and hits (30 vs AC), carving out another chunk of good (12 damage).

Selmik tries again to escape from the cube and (20 vs Fort) again succeeds. He is dazed until the end of the turn.

Fandango....

[Asharad]

I'll move to I12.

I guess I'll attack the cube, although I am sorta fond of the thing now.

Attack:22 vs ac
damage:11

[Shiz]

Trask continues to plink at the cube with radiant energy after marking it as his quarry.

18 vs REF, 18dmg, +2 to Amaril

[Sagar]

Fandango reluctantly tosses a dagger at the wall of jello blocking the corridor. His dagger hits and slices off still more goo. (22 vs AC to hit, 11 damage).

The wererogue stabs at rat 2 with his dagger (27 vs AC) and opens a small cut (6 damage). WR2 will not regenerate during round 4.

Solak...

[EricStratton]

Amaril Round 4:

I'll fire another Eldritch Blast at the cube.

EB: 17+7+2 (Trask's Round 3 Lance of Faith (http://www.legendsofwestwood.org/forum/showpost.php?p=252847&postcount=602)) = 26
EB dmg: 1d10+5+1d6 =1+5+4=10 dmg

[Zyzzyx]

Solak joins the reluctance of Fandango, but more because he feels a bit limited in options, so back to the usual.

- Scorching Burst; +8 vs Ref, Area Burst 1 (3x3) at N13, 1d6+6 fire dmg.

He'll also move forward a bit to I12.

[Sagar]

Solak moves forward a step and throws scorching burst at the cubed trio. The cube is hit and more goo boils off (7 damage). The wererat is encased and inaccessible. (no LoE). Selmik (27 vs Ref) also smolders a bit (7 damage).

Amaril blasts the cube, hitting easily and blasting away more gelatinous material (10 damage).

Wererat 1 takes damage and tries to escape but (14 vs Fort) fails again.

Trask picks out another tender looking area and blasts it with a lance of radiant energy. A large portion of the cube is blasts away (18 damage). The cube is beginning to lose shape and cohesion. You think it can't take much more of this.

The cube pushes out a pseudopod, tries to slam Selmik (29 vs Fort) and succeeds. Selmik takes significant damage (12) and is immobilized.

Wererat 2 attacks the rogue with his shortsword (29 vs AC), hitting solidly (10 damage).

Baladir...

[Shiz]

Guys, I really think we go for the wererogue kill as soon as possible once the cube is down.

[Lycos]

Baladir readies a basic attack so that once the cube is dead. He can attack, and possibly charge.

No, we need to talk to the wererogue. We can kill him after, but at this point, I think we need some answers. Unless of course he has a poison dagger in his back and is ready to use it on himself. :D

[Asharad]

Unless of course he has a poison dagger in his back and is ready to use it on himself. :D

Brunhilde....

[DinbinFanfoom]

More remote cube smackage! Brun chucks her axe again. She shifts east 5'.

(+11 vs AC, 1d6+8 damage)

ATK: 20 vs AC
DAM: 13

[Asharad]

Hopefully brun killed the cube.

I will sly flourish Selmik.

Attack:15 vs ac :(
Damage:10

[Sagar]

Brunhilde whips her axe into the cube again (20 vs AC), carving out more goo (13 damage). The walls of the cube quiver almost uncontrollably as goo continues to flow.

[Sagar]

Selmik gestures and another dire rat appears near the party. Then, with a look of annoyance, he slashes out with his sword (natural 20) and cuts the cube very deeply (12 damage). It shudders.. then loses cohesion and falls apart in a shower of goo. You see several items flow away in the goo. Wererat 1 is released. Selmik (ST 15) is no longer immobilized.

Fandango tries to hit Selmik from long range (-2) with his dagger (13 vs AC) but misses badly.

The wererogue slashes at WR2 again (23 vs AC), stabbing the rat deeply (11 damage) in the general area of the heart. Wererat 2 falls to the ground.

Solak...

[EricStratton]

What Amaril does is going to depend on what Solak does. Once I see his move, I'll post mine.

[Zyzzyx]

Solak... wants to see what the wererogue will do when his immediate target wererat2 dies.


- Shift to J12, away from the rat
- Bloodhunt: +1 ATK vs bloodied foes
- Illusory Ambush; +7 vs Will, 1d6+5 psychic dmg, target takes -2 to attack rolls until end of my next turn

Not sure if you saw it but Selmik summoned another Dire Rat which is now right next to you. You cast a ranged attack and it gets an OA.

[Zyzzyx]

I did see that, and had typed in that I shifted away first, looks like I buggered that with my copy/paste. Fixing.

[Lycos]

Now that the cube is down, Baladir uses his readied action. I am going to N12, take the OA from Dire Rat 2, and hit Selmik. Must stop the caster.

Move Action: Move to N12
Minor Action: Divine Challenge Selmik
Standard Action: Holy Strike

Holy Strike! (+10 to hit vs AC, 1d10 + 6 Damage for strength and sword) + 2 more in damage if marked.

[EricStratton]

Ok, I figured Solak would end up shifting.

Amaril casts Fey Step (move) to teleport to K13. Then he'll curse Selmik and cast Eldritch Blast on him.

Because none of my allies are closer to Selmik than I am (Brun is *as* close but not closer), Amaril gets to use (I think for the first time!) his Prime Shot class feature (if no allies are closer to the target than I am, I get +1 on ranged attacks against said target).

EB: 2+7+1 (Prime Shot)= 10 vs REF
EB dmg: 1d10+5+1d6 =

What a waste of my first Prime Shot....

[Sagar]

Solak - WR 2 is dead.

Bal, heal Brun if you can. I healed you since you cannot heal yourself.

[Asharad]

I'm waiting to see what happens with Brun and Selmik.

[Sagar]

Now that the cube is down, Baladir uses his readied action. I am going to N12, take the OA from Dire Rat 2, and hit Selmik. Must stop the caster.

Move Action: Move to N12
Minor Action: Divine Challenge Selmik
Standard Action: Holy Strike

Holy Strike! (+10 to hit vs AC, 1d10 + 6 Damage for strength and sword) + 2 more in damage if marked.

You can have a readied attack.

You can't have a readied turn. Though I suppose you actually deferred your turn until this.

Ok. I've talked myself into it.

[Sagar]

Baladir moves to engage Selmik. Wererat 1 is still dazed and stands idle as Baladir moves past. Baladir issues a divine challenge to Selmik (marked) and attacks the wererat with a Holy Strike. Despite his strong attempt (20 vs AC), Selmik deflects the blow.

Amaril teleports away and maintains concealment as he curses Selmik and fires at the wererat. His blast, however, goes amiss (12 vs Ref).

Wererat 1, no longer dazed, moves to flank Baladir and attacks with a shortsword (24 vs AC). The sword slashes past Baladir's shield and cuts the paladin visciously (13 damage).

Trask tries to give Baladir a healing word, but Baladir is out of range. Instead, Trask draws his morningstar and begins playing whack-a-mole on the dire rat (26 vs AC, 10 damage, +3 to hit to Fandango).

The dire rat tries to bite Trask and (16 vs AC) catches only a bit of cloak for his troubles.

End of round 5.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Happy to have the cube out of the way, Brunhilde will shift to flank the Wererat, marking it.

Reaping Strike: +11 vs AC, 7 damage on hit, 5 on miss.

ATK: 19 vs AC
DAM: 8

[Zyzzyx]

Solak mutters and taps his staff on the ground a few times, wondering why the darn thing isn't working.

"I knew I shouldn't have gone with the solar powered staff."


I don't see Solak's attack resolved. See posts 633 and 640.

[Sagar]

Brunhilde moves to flank the wererat and attacks it (19 vs AC). The wererat blocks the attack with it's sword, but the blow rattles his arm (5 damage).

Selmik calmly attacks Baladir (18 vs AC). Baladir neatly deflects the blow, though. Selmik looks less damaged.

Baladir...

[Asharad]

I just got skipped twice.

[Asharad]

I'll move to g12 and will attack the dire rat with combat advantage.
a seventeen is probably a miss. edit: in case it isn't, feel free to roll my damage for me to move things along, thanks!

On my next turn (which was also skipped), I'll do the same.
damage on the second attack:24

[Sagar]

I just got skipped twice.

No you didn't. Last round you threw a dagger at Selmik from long range and missed.

[Asharad]

No you didn't. Last round you threw a dagger at Selmik from long range and missed.


Ah, okay. I only got skipped once and then not really.

Whew.

[Lycos]

Baladir is going to use Piercing Smite on Selmik.

Piercing Smite (+10 to hit vs Reflex, 2d10 + 5 Damage for strength and sword)
Adjacent targets are marked until the end of my next turn.

That's a 29 to hit vs. Reflex.
And 24 points of damage. :D

[DinbinFanfoom]

Did Brun's RS take the +2 ATK for flanking into account? That would have made it 21 vs AC. My bad.

[Sagar]

Baladir tries a piercing strike against Selmik and (29 vs Ref) deftly weaves his attack though the wererat lieutenants defenses. Striking hard and deep, Baladir wounds Selmik badly.

Fandango moves to flank the dire rat and, with Trask's magical bonus to his, strikes the rat hard (20 vs AC, 24 damage). The rat is bloodied and reeling.

The wererogue flanks Selmik and (28 vs AC) stabs him in the back. Selmik screams as the silver dagger plunges in to the hilt (15 damage) and is withdrawn.

[Asharad]

And for the record I was wrong and Sagar was right.

I'm the worst. he's the best.

[Sagar]

I'm the worst. he's the best.

Just so you know, Ash.. you have a brown spot right there.. on the tip of your nose.

Amaril curses the Wererat. Then he turns around and casts Eldritch Blast on Dire Rat.

EB: 5+7=12 vs REF
EB dmg: 9+5=14 dmg

I was going to EB Selmik but the little bastard's got cover from the Wererat.

All my **** rolls are back.

Trask will smack the rat again and if it dies, move to J13 and healing word Baladir (24hps using the d6 roll above).

26 vs AC, 9dmg, +3 to Fandango if it matters.

[Sagar]

Amaril curses the wererat and then tries to blast the dire rat. His blast JUST misses the rat - singeing only it's whiskers.

The wererat attacks Baladir just as Selmik distracts him. The attack (22 vs AC) succeed and Baladir is struck hard the the wererat's sword (17 damage). Baladir is bloodied and reeling.

When I resolved your attack, it still said wererat 2 and you had a dire rat chewing on your robe so I applied the attack to the dire rat. Now, the damage in on the rat character sheet and on the damage table.. but I can't see where I ever actually typed it in. I also forgot to do an OA from rat to you.

So, if you want me to change it to Selmik, I can. I'll take the damage from the rat, apply the attack (including the cover), type it up all pretty, let the rat attack you for making a ranged attack adjacent to it and see what happens.

OR I can tell you the rat really took it in the shorts 'cause of your masterful spellcasting, ignore the OA (my mistake) and we'll continue on :)

Your choice :)

And my apologies.

[Zyzzyx]

Well... if ya put it that way... we're still rolling along somewhat decently so far (well, except for Bal) so I can roll with that.

But Solak still gets a bit more annoyed with the latest miss to Selmik. ;)

[Sagar]

I am feeling so magnamimus that you can reroll your attack vs Selmik if you wish.

[DinbinFanfoom]

I did not take that into account - I thought you did. Since we both missed it, the rat gets it easy this round. The poor guy needs a break - he was stuck in that cube FOREVER!It's OK, it was my fault, anyway. I mentioned flanking but didn't do the calc. It was only 3 dam difference anyway.

[Zyzzyx]

I am feeling so magnamimus that you can reroll your attack vs Selmik if you wish.

Nah... he's so flubbered it works out fine that he missed. Note, Solak is annoyed, I'm not.

[Sagar]

Back today (was out for ALMOST all day meeting yesterday).

Trask, enjoying his Whack-A-Rat game, smashes it again (26 vs AC). This time, though, he breaks the rat and the game is over. Bored, Trask wanders towards the wererats (J13) and heals Baladir (24 healing).

How can we flank the wererogue so he cannot escape again?

[Asharad]

I yell that either Brun or Baladir might want to delay until I go (either one or both is fine with me).

I will move to L13.

I will hit Selmik with Sneak in the Attack (minor action), which the next person (UEONT) who hits the rat and who has combat advantage +2d8 to their damage.

Then I will hit Selmik with a sly flourish. I don't know if I have CA or not. I don't think so.

Frustrated at her lack of progress, Brun swings another Reaping Strike (+11 vs AC, 1d12+7 on hit, 5 on miss) at the WR in front of her, marking it.

ATK: 2+13=15 vs AC
DAM: 10, but probably 5

OOC: Con-sarn it!

[EricStratton]

Round 7:

Amaril casts Eldritch Blast on the Wererat. If he happens to kill it he's going for non-lethal damage.

EB: 2+7 vs REF
EB dmg: 1d10+5+1d6=...

--

If we can get the wererat out of the way, I can get close enough to the wererogue to teleport behind him. It might hurt but at least it might slow him down.

OMG, these rolls!

[Asharad]

I read the map wrong. I thought your guys were flanking selemik. Just change all of my post to wr1 instead of selmik.

[Sagar]

Brunhilde swings at wererat 1 but (15 vs AC) it ducks - just getting clipped a bit (5 damage).

Selmik attacks Baladir with combat advantage. Selmik summons (minor) another dire rat which appears behind Trask. Distracted by WR1, Baladir misses blocking Selmik's attack (22 vs AC) and gets cut deeply for his lack of attention (16 damage). Following up his advantage, Selmik attacks again (28 vs AC) and scores another strong blow (13 damage). Baladir is bloodied and reeling.

Baladir strikes back (28 vs AC), hitting Selmik hard (20 damage) and heartening those around him (5 temp HP). Selmik is bloodied.

Fandango is blocked from his desired movement by the new dire rat (Do you want to change your target?)

7 temp hps. I need to change that description. It's confusing you. Sorry.

[Sagar]

Amaril, with the rat there, you will be subject to a OA if you use a ranged attack at WR1.

[Lycos]

Can I add a minor action of drinking a healing potion for my last round?

[Sagar]

Nope. To late.
You can do it next round.

[EricStratton]

Amaril, with the rat there, you will be subject to a OA if you use a ranged attack at WR1.
Round 7 amended turn:

Amaril will shift to I13 and attack the Dire Rat with his +1 longsword.

Longsword: 2+6 vs AC
Dmg: 1d8+1=...

---

Used my roll from last time.

[Asharad]

Darnit, yeah, I'll change targets and actions.

Guys, we gotta focus on Selmik.

I'll kill this dire rat, everyone else go after the wererats and selmik.

I'll move to I13.

Sly flourish with combat advantage.

Attack:17 vs ac
damage:17

[Shiz]

Round 7:

Trask smacks the Dire Rat with Righteous Brand, 9+7=16 vs AC.

If that hits, +3 to Fandango and d10+3dmg =

And another Healing Word to Baladir (14+4+5=23hps).

Revising and re-rolling dmg to reflect different attack.

[Sagar]

Fandango moves to flank the dire rat and flashes his dagger with a flourish. The attack (17 vs AC) slices hard along the rat's flank (17 damage).

The wererogue tries to emulate the attack on Selmik (20 vs AC) but Selmik blocks the attack with his sword.

Solak (who is not skipped but slightly hopped over since he hasn't posted)...

Amaril starts to shift, then realizes Fandango beat him to the spot. Whipping out his sword, Amaril shows clearly why he is a magic user (8 vs AC - whiff).

Wererat 1, overcome with bloodlust, slashes at the weakend Baladir. (21 vs AC). Baladir catches the attack on his new big shield. The wererat regenerates.

Trask plays more whack-a-rat, this time (16 vs AC) giving it only a light tap on the noggin (7 damage).

He also give Baladir another healing word (23 healed). Baladir is still bloodied.

(Almost end of round - waiting for Solak who was not skipped).

Wererat 1, still marked by Baladir, slashes at him (21 vs AC). Baladir catches the attack on his new big shield.Not that it matters in this case, but I think Brun was the last person to mark WR1. And Bal, don't mark more things than you can handle at low HP. :D

[Sagar]

Not that it matters in this case, but I think Brun was the last person to mark WR1. And Bal, don't mark more things than you can handle at low HP. :D

You haven't actually hit since Baladir did an attack that marked all adjacent. AFAIK, you need to hit to mark.

[Shiz]

Also, marking Selmik isn't necessary. If she want to attack the wererogue, that's fine!

[DinbinFanfoom]

You haven't actually hit since Baladir did an attack that marked all adjacent. AFAIK, you need to hit to mark.
Nope. Looks like I got an MBA in there too.
Combat Challenge
In combat, it's dangerous to ignore a fighter. Every
time you attack an enemy, whether the attack hits or
misses, you can choose to mark that target. The mark
lasts until the end of your next turn. While a target
is marked, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls for any
attack that doesn't include you as a target. A creature
can be subject to only one mark at a time. A new mark
supersedes a mark that was already in place.
In addition, whenever a marked enemy that is
adjacent to you shifts or makes an attack that does not
include you, you can make a melee basic attack as an immediate interrupt.

MBA damage:
12+7(max damage)+11(high crit)+4(enh)=34 damage, assuming one can crit on an MBA interrupt. :D

Brun: "DOES ZIS GET YOUR ATTENTION?"

[Lycos]

Also, marking Selmik isn't necessary. If she want to attack the wererogue, that's fine!

I was shooting for having him stop the summoning of more rats, but that appears to be a minor action or free action for him. So, yeah, having him marked is not doing me much good except for an extra 2 points of damage on Holy Strikes.

[Shiz]

SCHWING! Not technically an OA, Din, but an MBA crit is still a crit!

[Lycos]

Round 8:

minor action: Use my healing potion
standard action: Use Valiant Strike on Selmik

Valiant Strike (+10 to hit vs AC, 1d10 + 6 Damage for strength and sword, add +1 to hit per enemy adjacent to you)

21 to hit Selmik
9 damage.

[Shiz]

Nope. Looks like I got an MBA in there too.


MBA damage:
12+7(max damage)+11(high crit)+4(enh)=34 damage, assuming one can crit on an MBA interrupt. :D

Brun: "DOES ZIS GET YOUR ATTENTION?"

As a INterrupt, if it kills WR1, then its attack on Bal didn't happen, obviously.

Or, since Sagar wasn't clear on the rule, the WR1 would have attacked Brun instead since mobs know what will happen if they don't attack a PC that marked them.

Brun, more of this, please. :flex:

[Zyzzyx]

Solak (who is not skipped but slightly hopped over since he hasn't posted)...
For some reason I'm reading that with a British accent and picturing it as a line from Monty Python. *shrug*

Solak continues against Selmik the Rat Maker.

- Bloodhunt: +1 ATK vs bloodied foes
- Illusory Ambush; +7 vs Will, 1d6+5 psychic dmg, target takes -2 to attack rolls until end of my next turn

[DinbinFanfoom]

Or, since Sagar wasn't clear on the rule, the WR1 would have attacked Brun instead since mobs know what will happen if they don't attack a PC that marked them.Could go either way. If I were in the rat's place, and had a nearly dead foe before me, I might wanna finish them off and ignore the -2 penalty and take an MBA. Maybe.
Brun, more of this, please. :flex:
That said, ignoring someone who's wielding a high-crit weapon isn't wise. :D Makes up for the past two misses. :D

Brun: "Hey rat..." *poke*
Rat hits Baladir.
Brun: "I said... hey rat..." *poke*
Rat hits Baladir.
Brun: "HEY RAT!!!!!" *POW*
Rat is cloven asunder.

Am I right in assuming the only Paladin "mark" ability is Divine Challenge? If so, he can only mark one target at a time anyway. It's "close burst 5" (meaning any target within 5 of him) but only ONE target.

[Sagar]

Frustrated at her lack of progress, Brun swings another Reaping Strike (+11 vs AC, 1d12+7 on hit, 5 on miss) at the WR in front of her, marking it.



I interpret this as you don't mark if you don't hit.

Is that not the case?

[Greebo]

Fighter marks can be applied on a hit or a miss.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Fighter marks can be applied on a hit or a miss.
What Greebo said. See my bolded quote from the PHB above. Paladin Divine Challenge can mark any single target within 5 of them each turn, as long as they attack it next turn or end up adjacent to it. (I think). Fighters just have to attack something to mark it. Hitting doesn't matter.

[Lycos]

Yup.

Well isn't that special...

So, fighters have this "I will not be ignored.." power? Do you boil rabbits too?

[Greebo]

All defenders have the ability to demand not to be ignored - the marks are only subtly different in that regard. Only fighters, however, get a free hit on a shift - but do note, its immediate, not OA, so its only 1x between fighter turns not 1x per combatant turn.

[Sagar]

Solak, standing next to the dire rat, casts a ranged spell at Selmik. The illusion (26 vs Will) hits and the wererat takes (11) damage from attacks you can't see.

The dire rat, sensing opportunity, snaps at Solak (natural 1) but bites it's own tongue.

Brunhilde raises her axe. "I wil NOT be ignored, rat!" and slashes down hard (natural 20). The rat receives an object lesson in paying attention to lumberchicks. (34 damage). The wererat is bloodied.

The dire rat takes another bite at Solak (15 vs AC) but misses again.

[Asharad]

I'll hit the dr rat again.

Zoinks.

14 vs ac

[Lycos]

Just as a reminder, my actions for this round is posted on page 28.

[Sagar]

Brunhilde, in a bid to turn around her life - or at least her attacks, swings her axe in a might arc. This attack strikes true (28 vs AC), slicing the rat deeply (18 damage). The wererat is bloodied and reeling.

Selmik attacks Baladir (24-2 vs AC). Between the paladin's shield and Solak's magic, the attack is just barely thwarted. Selmik regenerates. Selmik gestures and another dire rat appears (behind Amaril).

Baladir quaffs a potion (+10 hp - no longer bloodied) then aims a valiant strike at the wererat lieutenant (21 vs AC). Selmik dodges the attack.

Fandango thinks about attacking the dire rat but his bloody blade slips in his grip and he is unable to make the attack.

The Wererogue attacks Selmik with his silver dagger again. His dagger also slips (natural 1) and no attack is actually made. The wererogue regenerates.

Solak...

Amaril will shift to I12 and attempt to hit the Dire Rat with his Longsword again.

[Lycos]

Round 9:

Attack Selmik again.

Cleave (+10 to hit vs AC, 1d10 + 5 Damage for strength and sword) and an adjacent target takes 4 damage as well.

If I hit, 14 points to Selmik, and 4 or 5 (not sure if sword bonus adds in this case) damage to the guy behind me.

[Zyzzyx]

Solak got caught in a morning meeting, thought he was clear, then dragged back again.

Repeat...

- Bloodhunt: +1 ATK vs bloodied foes
- Illusory Ambush; +7 vs Will, 1d6+5 psychic dmg, target takes -2 to attack rolls until end of my next turn

[Sagar]

Solak focuses, weaving illusions to assault Selmik's mind (16 vs Will). Selmik glances down.. glances away.. then looks back, intrigued. Then he screams as the illusions attack (10 damage, -2 to hit until EoST9).

Dire rat1, sensing Solaks distraction (ranged attack), takes the opportunity to take a bite (21 vs AC). Solak feels pain (but not much actual damage -6 THP) and is exposed to disease. (ST at end of combat).

Amaril shifts to the other side of DR2 (I12 is occupied) and slaps at the rat with his longsword. He connects (18 vs AC) and reprimands it gently (2 damage).

Wererat 1 strikes at Brunhilde (25 vs AC) and stabs hard through her defenses (-7 THP, -3 HP).

Trask lays a righteous brand on dire rat 1 (24 vs AC). His his isn't as hard as he might have wishes (5 damage) but it inspires Fandango (+3 to hit).

Dire rat 1 tries to bite Solak again (13 vs AC) but misses.

Dire rat 2 tries to bite Amaril (23vs AC), again, just causing pain (-7 THP) and exposing Amaril to disease again.

End of round 8.

Selmik really has to die.

[Asharad]

I will attack dire rat one with sly flourish and combat advantage AND a bonus to attack.

Attack: 35 vs ac
damage: 22

[DinbinFanfoom]

Old faithful: Reaping Strike on WR1, hopefully finishing it off, if not: marking it. (+11+2 vs AC, d12+7 on hit, 5 on miss)

ATK: 31 vs AC
DAM: 13

If that kills WR1, Brunhilde will move alongside of Baladir in the hallway.

[Zyzzyx]

Dire rat1, sensing Solaks distraction (ranged attack), takes the opportunity to take a bite (21 vs AC). Solak feels pain (but not much actual damage -6 THP) and is exposed to disease. (ST at end of combat).

Solak may look distracted, but he's quite aware of the dire rat, and deftly blocks the rat's attack.

- Staff of Defense; Immediate interrupt, +2AC (Con mod) after damage taken, recalculate ATK

With that, the rat's OA is vs 22AC.

[Sagar]

Solak, sensing the rat's interest, deftly places his staff where the rat's teeth were heading. Instead of leg, the rat bit into wood. (no damage to Solak, no exposure to disease).

Brunhilde, unloads her favorite attack, reaping strike, on the wererat. She easily connects (31 vs AC), slicing deeply into the wererats side (13 damage). The wererat seems to crumple around the wound and, as she withdraws her axe, it collapses - dead.

Selmik (who is having ungodly luck with recharges) gestures and another dire rat appears - this one behind Solak. Selmik then tries to attack Baladir but it is a feeble effort (14 vs AC), and the paladin avoids it easily. Selmik regenerates.

Baladir (to be determined).

Fandango, sensing opportunity, attacks dire rat 1 with a flourish. He hits easily (35 vs AC) and with deadly effect (22 damage). The dire rat dies.

The wererogue attacks Selmik. This time he is more successful (30 vs AC) and, with combat advantage, causes significant harm (12 damage, no regen next round for Selmik).

[Lycos]

Baladir (to be determined).

Listed above on Friday.

You have no one to Cleave, so Sagar was wondering if you might want to save an Encounte Power...

Round 9 Trask:

Move: shift to J13.

Brun, forget the dires. Go after the tough guys. Try and get in a position behind Wererat Rogue so you can use Combat Superiority to stop him, even from shifting. Use your armor Daily if you have it.

Funny how two of the powers I planned to replace next level are coming in VERY useful this fight.

I'll change to Holy Strike then.

Holy Strike! (+10 to hit vs AC, 1d10 + 6 Damage for strength and sword) + 2 more in damage if marked.

I think I mistakenly thought I could remove my challenge. It seems that Selmik is indeed challeged until I challenge another. So, that is an additional 3 points of damage on him from me.

Bal's weapon attacks get +5 dmg, then. I don't know why he only has +4 for Righteous Smite on his character post, though.

[Sagar]

Amaril is out all week. Will someone do his attacks?

[Sagar]

Baladir thrusts a Holy Strike at Selmik and just manages to hit (23 vs AC). The attack is powerful, though (16 damage), leaving Selmik bloodied and reeling.

Solak...

[Zyzzyx]

Solak wonders again why he's down here and daydreams for a moment about wandering alone through the open woods. Seemingly lost for a bit he steps away from the rat, realizes he should do something, and just does the same ol' thing out of habit.

If you can give me a reasonable justification for how you can use a magical effect like this to stun instead of kill, I will allow it.

I can understand with a weapon - using the flat of the blade or the hilt to mitigate lethality. I can't figure out how that would work for this type of magical attack, though.

Knocking Creatures Unconscious
When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points or fewer, you can choose to knock it unconscious rather than kill it. Until it regains hit points, the creature is unconscious but not dying. Any healing makes the creature conscious.

If the creature doesn?t receive any healing, it is restored to 1 hit point and becomes conscious after a short rest.
Just fyi

[Zyzzyx]

If you can give me a reasonable justification for how you can use a magical effect like this to stun instead of kill, I will allow it.
OK. This is psychic damage, not fire/ice/force/whatever. Of any of the damages by magical means, seems like this would be the most likely to be able to knock someone out instead of outright killing.

[Sagar]

That was a pretty lame answer :lowrazz:, but I thought of something last night so...

Solak gestures. Hands of illusion (23 vs will), unseen by the party, grasp and tug at the wounded wererat.. pulling him down into smothering blackness.
Selmik collapses.

Amaril moves

[Sagar]

Amaril moves west and, after cursing dire rat 2, blasts it (14 vs Ref) solidly (16 damage).

Trask smacks it with a righteous blow (16 vs AC), again striking it solidly (12 damage). The rat is bloodied and reeling and set up for Fandango (+3 to hit).

Rat 2 tries to bite Fandango (23 vs AC 22) and hits (4 THP lost, exposed to disease).

Rat 3 tries to bite Trask and (20 vs AC 19) also hits (6 THP lost, exposed to disease).

[DinbinFanfoom]

Shiz: Brun already used her armour daily. (We really should break up this thread before the next fight, it's getting LONG). Got any heals left?

Brunhilde will:

Move to O13 (SE of Baladir, taking an AoO from Selmik) (move).
Attempt a Reaping Strike (+11 vs AC) on the Wererogue, marking him (standard). If she "kills" him, she will render him unconscious, instead.

I'll use diplomacy to try and get him to work with me.

Diplo +13

I have a meeting that I will be in until noon. If it looks like I am losing him. I'll pop my encounter power and try again.

Second Attempt - "I think we're on the same side. Let's work together rather than fight one another."

Free action: Baladir says to the wererogue. "Drop your weapon, I won't let anyone hurt you if you'll just talk with us. What say you?"
