[Adventure] Dirty Money Tondrek, Tamarand, Brenron, Rohna up[Judge: THB]

[Vertexx69]

"Its my job to keep us safe from whatever might try to hurt us. Its your job to kill whatever it is before it kills us." The littlest goliath's face crinkles merrily again as she grins at the mammoth axe wielding warforged.

Thanks for the assistance!

He flips back his cloak to demonstrate the armaments strapped to his waist as further evidence for this creature to get out of his way

The gnome changes back into the pretty female elf. "I've seen bigger swords than that." She winks at the drow and turns her gaze to the gnome.

"If that's what your prefer," the elf says, putting her hands on her hips. "I'll go then." Looking at Harkin, she says with a grin, "You had better see your father, before those kobolds beat every last copper out of him." The elf steps into an alley and disappears into the shadows.

Harkin gets a grave look on his face, and sprints off. The adventurers chase after the halfling, who is their only guide to his father's shop.

[renau1g]

"B*tch" Tamarand hisses as she leaves.

Seeing the young man rush off, the drow spurs on his mount, confident in its speed to keep up with even an elf.

[stonegod]

Tondrek trundles as fast as he can with his burdens.

[EvolutionKB]

The adventurer's follow the halfling teen through the streets. They round a corner and suddenly Harkin comes to a stop, flinging his arms out to the side to balance himself. Only one business here seems to be open. The others have boarded up doors and windows. The lone business is "Ronald's Wares". A pair of kobolds, holding shields and blades, and wearing black scale armor stand guard at the open door to the shop. The sounds of a ruccus can be heard from inside the shop.

Combat Stuff

I'll roll init at the start of combat. I usually post daily so I'll update then. Don't worry too much about posting in init order, just realize the situation may change. Also include in your posts a combat block that contains, your current hp, surges remaining(and value), APs, and powers, crossed out as used. The black areas on the map are alleyways you can't see as well as the interior of Ronald's Wares. Rohna and Tamarand are mounted, thus their larger squares. Doggie is beside Tondrek.

Initiative

init: Tondrek, Rohna, Roswyn, Tamarand, Cleaver, kobolds (1d20+7=23, 1d20+2=16, 1d20+2=16, 1d20+6=13, 1d20+2=14, 1d20+4=14)

Tondrek: 23
Rohna: 16
Roswyn: 16
Kobolds: 14
Cleaver: 14
Tamarand: 13

[Vertexx69]

Rohna AC24, HP 51/51 (Temp HP 8), Surges/Value 13/11, Saves: F19/R14/W14 AP: 0

Rohna spur's Natasha into a whinnying gallop as she moves out from around the Harkin into a charge against the farther of the 2 kobolds, whirling her warhammer over her head. Mitramoving in step with her to cut off the closer kobolds movement toward the party. She brings the hammer down squarely into the head of the 2nd kobold. Then swings at the 1st Kobold with a Crushing Surge. "Death is here villains." Rohna points her blood-dripping warhammer at each in turn.

Combat

Powers:
Rhino Strike
Shield Bash
Spirit's Fang
Stone's Endurance
Spirit Speak
Villain's Menace

Rohna uses move action (9) to get out from behind Harkin and into position to charge (K/L,19/20), drawing her hammer at the same time, while Mitra moves to (I,16). Then uses Rhino Strike with the charge action into spaces (K/L,16/17) Rhino Strike=20, 2d10+10=18 on D2 (Gaining 4 temp HP). Then uses her action point to hit D1 Crushing Surge=21, 1d10+5=11 (gaining 8 more temp HP) and marking both of them.

OOC - Isn't it supposed to be Cleaver mounted on the lizard? And don't forget to add Mitra to the map please as enemies are unable to move through her space. If Tondrek's arrow hits Both Rohna's attacks do 3 extra dmg since she was adjecent to him during his action.

[renau1g]

Vertexx

I don't think Temp Hp stacks so you'd have 8 right now.

[stonegod]

Oo! Baddies! Tondrek releases the chain, and fumbles with his crossbow a moment. Taking aim, he traces some arcane runes on it and with a *FWP!* releases the bolt at the nearest kobold. With a loud *ka-thunk*, another bolt loads.

Full character sheet

[renau1g]

Tamarand draws his daggers from their sheaths and begins twirling them in a defensive fashion. He sees the halforks attack and feeling empowered points his dagger and fires off a fist sized green orb that sails over the kobolds head and dissolves a small portion of the building behind it.

OOC - don't feel bad about a 7 Ren, my average roll is a 5 on a d20.

[ryryguy]

Roswyn struggles to keep up with the running halfling, but makes it to the shop just behind the others. When she sees the kobolds and hears the commotion inside the store, she makes a "tsk, tsk" sound.

Wonderful... no chance to get a proper contract signed with the storekeeper, no time to get this crew organized... poor Pok would probably have a nervous breakdown! Well, no choice but to fight, I guess...

Instinctively, Roswyn shifts position behind Cleaver, using the warforged's large form to block the kobold's view of her. She lifts a small, shining blue orb in one hand and mutters under her breath. There is no visible effect, but the kobold looks up and squeals, trying to dodge some unseen threat.

After attacking, the gnome hustles down to the corner of the building across the street, glancing up the alley to her left and trying to get a better view of what is going on inside the building.

Actions

Free action: Reactive Stealth Reactive stealth (1d20+4=18)

(Rules note, I think Roswyn can use the cover provided by Cleaver to trigger reactive stealth, although she can't use the cover he provides to remain hidden. Not that she'll be remaining hidden anyhow since she's about to attack... If I'm wrong about the rules here, then no Stealth. )

Standard action: Phantom Bolt Phantom Bolt vs. Kobold D1 (1d20+9=16, 1d8+7=13)

(Does not include possible +2 for CA against kobold if she is successfully hidden... a crappy roll, but might still hit Will defense; psychic damage. If this does hit, she can slide the Kobold 1 square, but I'm not sure there's anywhere useful to slide him to... if anyone wants me to slide him let me know.)

Move action: Move to D22

Minor action: Perception check (1d20+2=20)

(Depending on what she can see up the alley or in the shop, she might want to alter her movement or even spend an action point for another attack...)

Roswyn stat block

[Vertexx69]

OOC - I'd definitely rather roswyn (or anyone else) didn't slide them anywhere. Rohna has them both marked so if either one shifts or moves away from her at all she gets immediate reaction attacks/OAs on both of them.

Actions

Cleaver charges forward to I/J 16/17 and uses Howling Strike Vs AC Howling Strike 1d20+10=21, 1d12+2d6+5=22

Cleaver rushes forward, not even slowing as he speaks deadpan.

Step aside, you are hindering the fulfillment of my objective.

[renau1g]

king

Howling strike should only add 1d6 not 2d6

[Vertexx69]

King

While you can charge up into Mitra's space (I,16) Cleaver can't end his movement there. Luckily you can shift back a space or dismount as a move action.

[renau1g]

ooc

Except doesn't a charge end your turn?

[ukingsken]

ooc

The extra 1d6 is from my horned helm, adds 1d6 on all charge attacks, and I didn't realise the space I chose was occupied. Saw Rohna's move but missed Mitra's. If we can just put me in "the nearest unoccupied space" since that's the rule for charging anyway I believe should be good to go.

And yes charging does end your turn.

[EvolutionKB]

Oo! Baddies! Tondrek releases the chain, and fumbles with his crossbow a moment. Taking aim, he traces some arcane runes on it and with a *FWP!* releases the bolt at the nearest kobold. With a loud *ka-thunk*, another bolt loads. Even though they weren't surprised, the speed of the bolt gets past the kobold's shield. Unfortunately though, it strikes the kobold's shoulder, deflecting off the scales of it's armor and thudding into the wooden building behind him.

ooc

Miss.

Rohna, Mitra, and Natasha move into position, past Harkin. The goliath, whirling her warhammer over her head, charges the kobolds. The kobolds shift out of the way of Rohna's charge, but the goliath spurs her mount on. The kobold can't deflect the heavy attack of the goliath and it's arm wrenches awkwardly. As Rohna spins to swing at the other kobold, she notices it is out of reach....so she strikes again with her warhammer. Already battered from her initial strike, it can'd dodge the second attack either. Ribs can be heard cracking when she slams her hammmer into it's chest. She does notice that the interior of the shop is filled with tall shelves. Several kobolds look up from their place going through the goods to glare in anger at her interference.

ooc

Mirta does not have the movement to get all the way to the kobolds(speed same as Rohna's, 5). Due to kobold tactics, the kobolds shift away when Rohna moves adjacient. Vertexx, if you want to use crushing surge on D2 who is in reach, let me know and I'll edit. Added damage to D2, and the extra 4 hp to Rohna from crushing surge.

Instinctively, Roswyn shifts position behind Cleaver, using the warforged's large form to block the kobold's view of her. She lifts a small, shining blue orb in one hand and mutters under her breath. There is no visible effect, but the kobold looks up and squeals, trying to dodge some unseen threat and ends up closer to Rohna. The gnome walks to the alleyway and looks down there as well as in the store. Due to her height and the glare on the window she finds it hard to see inside.

The two kobolds next to Rohna leap to reach her and strike out with their blades. Rohna, on her mount finds it hard to dodge the kobold's precision strikes. The kobold's draw blood on her arm and across her stomach. She finds it hard to focus on opponents other than the kobold in front of her.

ooc

D1 and D2 attack Rohna, both hitting for a total of 14 damage. Rohna is marked by D2.

Suddenly the glass of the windows that are the front of the shop shatter. A strange whirring can be heard and objects hurl from the slings of kobolds that can now be seen. Both kobolds hurl pots at Cleaver, the second adjusting it's aim when the first kobold's pot flies over the head of the 'forged. The clay pots slams into Cleaver's gut, knocking the wind out of him, and exploding with glue. The glue holds the warforged in place.

ooc

S1 and S2 attack Cleaver. The second attack hits for 8 damage and Cleaver is immobilized(save ends). Cleaver/tamarand glue shot (1d20+8=11, 1d6+3=8, 1d20+8=27, 1d6+3=8) The kobolds slingers have cover from all attacks. I noticed that ukingsken never confirmed/denied being mounted, so his action may depend his decision in that regard.

Another kobold, this one in robes, steps from the side of the building. Raising it's palm, an orb of acid is conjured which then jets toward the goliath. The orb strikes the goliath in the kidney, soaking through her armor burning into her skin beneath. After it's attack the kobold steps back into the shadows of the building.

ooc

kobold spellcaster target's Rohna with an acid orb. 12 damage for Rohna. acid orb vs Rohna (1d20+8=21, 1d10+4=12)

Cleaver, now stuck to his saddle, but no less deadly charges the kobold to Rohna's side. The advantage of his mount as well as his huge axe is too much for the kobold, who's eye open wide as the warforged comes barreling towards it. The axe connect's and the kobold yelps as blood gushes from it's arm. With the movement and Cleaver's great strength, he is able to break out of the glue.

ooc

Yes, even though you are immobilized you can still charge, I just needed to know if you were mounted or not.

Tamarand, with the battle now in full tilt conjures an acid orb like the kobold did. The kobold dodges the drow's deadly magic at the last second and the acid sizzles against the wood of the building.

ooc

[ukingsken]

ooc

Cleaver is mounted, so can he still charge while on his mount? If so the action should stay the same. If not I guess he thrashes in impotent rage.

I'll edit post to reflect whatever I can or can not do.

Saving Throw 1d20=10

[Vertexx69]

ooc

Would D1 have shifted when Mitra first closed in before Rohna's charge? If so would it still be able to get out of Rohna's reach with a shift? If its still out of reach, then yes Rohna will use her AP on D2 (which would mean 31 total dmg to D2). Did you already take Rohna's resist all 1 into account for the 14 dmg total? If not then she loses all her temp HP and only really takes 15.
