Vorgrym stands in his place, the rapier had slid up his own blade, and cut deep, into his leg. The poison coursing through his veins was an inconvienience right now. The warrior stabs again at his undead superior.

Actions
Does my combat challenge trigger this time, since he attacked me twice and then used an AP to attack the spider? If so, 1d20+8, 1d6+6 damage. I used dual strike again, including the penalty and combat adv so it evens out. 16 and 19 to hit. 5 damage from each. Roll Lookup

Save for poison: 3, fail. Roll Lookup

OOC: Vorgrym's CC doesn't trigger because its using double attack twice. It will trigger when it takes the OA vs Drisdhaun.
what penalty? range attacks take a penalty to hit prone targets, melee attacks are unaffected.

I believe he's talking about the poison giving a -2 penalty to attack rolls

With no room to move or assist, Javliex continues to signal the tarantula to continue its attack. (Will keep making basic attacks with Saereth until people clear the way for Javilex to possibily attack or the undead drops, whichever comes first.)

I see what you did now. No prob. Yes, renau is right I was referring to the penalty from the poison and CA were negating each other.

Rantyr decides to eschew subtlely for raw arcane power as he coolly unleashes streaks of grayish purple energy from both hands at the recently-dead Caliban.

OOC: Eldritch Blast hits Reflex 17 for 7 main + 6 curse = 13 damage.

OOC:
Spoiler:

An immediate reaction may change much of what was declared this round,
triggered either by Djaar or Nashquari. I guess Ill wait till Monday, to see if Djaar hits him first.

As a side note, Drow sleeping poison has the following effects: Numbness, weakness, unconsciousness. The drow mercenaries use it when possible, and you would all be familiar with it.
Granting saves does not speed this process. (per beneficial bonus saves house rule)

Djaar repeats the same attack pattern against the undead, this time with better results: the blade seems to have cut deeply in the unsensitive flesh of the once-Caliban.

standard:Piercing strike 24 vs Ref, 15 dmg

Round 3: Revised

Djarr’s blade cuts deep into the undead’s broken back.
The creature twists and a cracking splintering sound is heard as its abused back finally breaks in two. Shards of bone and undead flesh go flying everywhere tearing through everyone except the spider who is out of the area and Nashquari & Javlix who with cover from allies manage to duck out of the way.

Then the torso lunges forward into Vorgrym’s legs and bowls him over, knocking him prone in the space it previously occupied ( F10). Caliban now twists into an upright position



OOC: Caliban swaps place with the target, does not provoke OAs. Caliban is no longer considered prone.
If you act after Djaar you can change your actions, but if you use the same power, refer to the previous roll.

(HIT) Djaar 9
Caliban’s Reaction (hp -69) Bloodied
--(HIT) Drjaar 17, vorgrym 15, rantyr 15, dris 13 (vs Reflex: 5 damage)
--(MISS) nashqui 7, Javlix 11
Javlix 22
Nashquari 20
Vorgrym 16
Rantyr 13
Drisdhaun 13
Undead Caliban 12

As the torso of the creature lurches towards him, Javliex can't help but yelp in surprise! "Whoa! Look out! Body on the move!" He quickly signals to Saereth, and the spider skitters down the wall to move in behind the undead, setting up a flank with him. The beastmaster then pulls his large falchion out from behind him and takes several wide swing, trying to cut his quarry.

Drisdhaun is now bloodied.

My action remains the same.

Drisdhaun skirts the undead, movind to D10 and unleashes a vipers strike (16vs Ac, 4 Damage)

He then takes the chance to peer down the tunnel to see if anything has been disturbed by the skirmish (Perception=11)

ooc, if Calibans movement was a shift, Vipers Strike and Vorgrym's Combat challenge would have activated

Vorgrym-bloodied

Vorgrym stands after the explosion of flesh. He strikes out at the undead torso with his blades once more.

ooc
Same actions as before, though the attacks are at -2 to hit because of a lack of Caliban being prone. I used dual strike again, including the penalty and combat adv so it evens out. 16 and 19 to hit. 5 damage from each. Roll Lookup

Save for poison: 3, fail. Roll Lookup
I need healing!

The spider can’t shift into the difficult terrain, and instead moves into the spot.
Javlix’s sword smashes down on the undead, OOC 17+6=23vAC, (10dmg)
Images of a Drow priestess striking Caliban finally brings a reaction, the creature flinches away from the illusion, Vorgrym hits once scoring its desiccated flesh. The numbness spreads further and weakens Vorgyrm. Rantyr’s bolt misses again.
Beaten to the flank Drisdaum sword misses. There does not seem to be any movement in the tunnel.
Caliban stabs Vorgyrm, leaving him clinging to life, as his claw flails vainly at Javlix


OOC: the spider is into D10, Caliban's movement was defined as a 'swap' which does not provoke.

(HIT) Djaar 9
(HIT) Javlix 22
(CRIT) Nashquari 20
(1 HIT) Vorgrym 16
(MISS) Rantyr 13
(MISS) Drisdhaun 13
Undead Caliban 12 (99dmg, 17 hp remaining)
--Voygrym AC 24 = 10 damage; Javlix AC 8
