Lephisto's attack goes wide as the hound leaps back, snarling and frothing.

Also snarling and frothing is the goblin, who swings his axe in a wide arc at Feyr. However, his attack barely has time to land before there is a brilliant flash of light and he is once again thrown back several paces.

24: Blighted hound 1 (-11, cursed)

15: Goblin (-46, bloodied, cursed, granting CA)
14: Growl (14/30, bloodied, ongoing 5 necrotic damage) <== Your turn.
12: Feyr (16/26)
10: Adran (20/28, Slayer's Song)
9: Alek (19/30)

The goblin is enraged, and therefore can only attack the nearest enemy, which in this case is Feyr. He hits AC 18 for 10 damage. 10? On 2d10+5? Man, I'm glad my characters don't roll like my monsters. Oh, and this triggers Armor of Wrath, so he takes 3 radiant damage and is pushed to E20.

Growl returns to his warforged form, stinging fro mteh open wound, as he steps back from the hounds, then buffets them with a chill wind. One is unfazed, but the other is knocked between the construct and the paladin. His wounds continue to plague him.

Standard action - Chill Wind centered on H14, targeting H1 and H4.

Chill Wind H1 and H4 (1d20+4=5, 1d20+4=19, 1d6=2)

Hits Fort 5 - Natural 1 misses - for 2 cold damage versus H1, and on a hit, slide H1 to G16, and hits Fort 19 for 2 cold damage versus H4, and on a hit, slide H4 to J16.

End of turn: Save vs ongoing necrotic damage:

OOC

As Armor of Wrath is an encounter power, my Covenant of Wrath applies here, so the goblin took 4 damages, not 3.

Feyr moves back behind the group, the attack of the goblin having made a good wound for him. He then sent two lightnings, on at the goblin and one at a hound.

OOC

Move to K17

Standard: Divine Bolts vs. Goblin and Hound 4 (1d20+4=18, 1d20+4=11, 1d6+4=6)

Nope. The damage bonus only works on attacks you make during your turn.

Also, Growl's attack hits and slides Hound 4, so it's now in J16.

[TwoHeadsBarking]

ooc: Boddynock, you're up.

[Boddynock]

Grating a tune through gritted teeth, Adran attacks the hound again.

OOC

Guiding Strike vs h1: -2 to the hound's AC until the end of Adran's next turn.

Thanks to Slayer's Song, a successful hit also means that the hound grants CA to the whole party until the end of Adran's next turn.

IC is down, so I'll leave it to you to determine the rolls, THB.

Alek smiles as he throws a sphere of Eldritch energy at the wounded hound.

Whoops sorry about that

[TwoHeadsBarking]

Adran expertly snakes his sword past the hound's guard. He is rewarded with a precise blow that hamstrings the hound and cripples its defenses.

Motes of dark energy flutter around Alek's fingertips as he gathers his power. The resulting sphere streams out and collides with its target, blasting most of the creature's flesh off its bones. The remaining mess simply falls apart.

The remaining hound frantically bites at Adran's legs. Again, the result is little more than a scratch, but that is all it takes to spread the contagion once more.

Status

Initiative:
24: Blighted hound 1 (-19, bloodied, cursed, -2 AC, granting CA)
24: Blighted hound 2 (-40, dead)
24: Blighted hound 3 (-40, dead)
24: Blighted hound 4 (-54, dead)
18: Lephisto (25/27+4) <== Your turn.
15: Goblin (-52, bloodied, cursed)
14: Growl (14/30, bloodied, ongoing 5 necrotic damage)
12: Feyr (16/26)
10: Adran (17/28, Slayer's Song, ongoing 5 necrotic damage)
9: Alek (19/30+4)

Adran's attack hits with a 19, dealing 8 damage. This bloodies the hound, as well as giving it -2 AC and causing it to grant CA. Yikes. Alek's attack hits with a 16, dealing a astonishing 19 damage. Hound 4 is dead dead dead. Alek gains 4 temp hp. Hound 1 attacks Adran, hitting with a 22, dealing 3 damage and causing ongoing damage.

Alek is the only valid target for Virtue of Valor this turn. The temp hp would go to waste, but the +2 damage won't, and it's not like you have anyone else to give it to.

[Boddynock]

OOC

Virtue of Valor & Strength of Valor: benefit to Alek.

Forgot to mention Majestic Word: Lephisto can spend healing surge, and gains extra 4 hp.

IC still down. I'll leave the save vs ongoing necrotic damage to you, THB. (Which is at the end of his next turn, isn't it! I think I'm getting it.)

[TwoHeadsBarking]

ooc

I've sent Lephisto a PM. If there's no response by tomorrow morning, I'm going to NPC him for the round. Sorry about the delay.

[TwoHeadsBarking]

Lephisto circles the hound, quietly praying as he does so. He then swings his sword in a shinning arc that cuts through the hound.

The goblin, seeing that its death is close at hand, shrieks in rage and charges into Alek, dealing a grievous wound.

9: Alek (7/30, bloodied, +2 to next damage roll)

Lephisto moves to flank the hound, puts it under divine challenge, and attacks, which hits handily for 11 damage. The goblin charges Alek, hitting AC 20 and dealing 16 damage.

Growl once again assumes his bear form, then circles around to surround the goblin. Finally, he steels himself to finish the fight, while also shaking off the effects of the dread wound.

Mechanics

Minor action - Return to warforged form, shifting to J17 in the process.

Move action - Move to G19.

Standard action - Second Wind, granting +2 to all defenses, and spending a surge.

End of turn: Save vs ongoing necrotic damage:

Save vs OGD (1d20+2=14)

Success!

Feyr calls another ligthning bolt that split, each flying toward the two remaining enemies. One bolt flies far over the hound head, but the second solidly hit the goblin.

Spoiler:

Standard: Divine Bolts vs Goblin, Hound (1d20+4=5, 1d20+4=23, 1d6+4=9)

[TwoHeadsBarking]

Velmont

Uh, it looks like the 5 was against the goblin, and the 23 was against the hound. Unless I'm misreading something.

[Boddynock]

Seeing that Alek is bleeding profusely, Adran moves to stand by his side. He seeks to disorient and disadvantage the goblin as he did the hound.

OOC

Guiding Strike vs goblin, -2 to AC. Slayer's Song garners CA.

Guiding Strike vs goblin: (1d2+7=9, 1d8+4=6)

Actually, I'll try that again, rolling a d20 instead of a d2!

Try again! Guiding Strike vs goblin: (1d20+7=24, 1d8+4=9)

Better!

If Feyr's lightning bolt has dropped the goblin, Adran will just stay and attack the hound.

I wrote one thing and thought another one when I rolled my dice. So what is written is written. Hound is hit and goblin is miss.

[TwoHeadsBarking]

The last hound falls to the ground, twitching with static discharge. Meanwhile, Adran handily runs the goblin through. Suddenly the road is quiet once again.

You win!

Congratulations. Here are your hp counts for the end of the fight, for those of you who want to spend healing surges.
Lephisto: 25/27
Growl: 9/30
Feyr: 16/26
Adran: 12/28
Alek: 7/30

[Velmont]

The bladeling take a moment to take his breath and looks around if anything else would be coming. Once he is sure all is finish, he look at the goblin.

"Is the goblin dead? And does anyone know the Goblin's tongue. We might learn a few thing if we question him." suggests Feyr.

OOC

With Adran's Song of Rest ability, Feyr spend 1 Healing Surge and is back to full hp. He is now at 8/9 healing surge.
