Touch of Madness [4e] [IC] [Paging Insight, Walking Dad, Erekose13]

Sharun glares at the Grell leader and then a sly smile spreads slowly across his face, then reaches deep inside the things mind and plants a very simple thought, "The Grell to my left is out to take my place, I must kill him." Sharun croons deep inside the Grells own mind.[sblock=OOC]2pt Augment Betrayal, Slide Grell 2 four squards toward Grell 1, would cause melee basic attack but I think he's too far away for that. 1d20+15 → [13,15] = (28) to hit, also dazes till the end of my next turn.[sblock=Stat Block]Sharundabald Abizandabar- Tiefling Psion 10

Gurk's action needed.

[sblock=OOC]Sorry! My post got eaten!
Piercing strike vs. Grell Reflex, if hits, 1d6 from furious assault (1d20+17=37, 1d6+8=10, 1d6=2)
Crit. crit 1d6 (1d6=3)
Furious assault makes it 2d6 [W] damage so that is maximized to 20 damage, then using the 2 d6s i rolled and the extra one, we add 7 damage.
27 Damage[sblock=alternate]If you feel I am wrong about furious assault being maximized, here is my roll. alt crit 1d6 (1d6=5) so 26 damage.[/sblock]

Baden Dubh

Baden sees his bolt strike home and decides to press his advantage. Rolling and tumbling, the slight figure advances quickly on his opponent and ends his move with a long extension into a lunge, driving his dark, shadow shrouded blade deep into the Grell's floating body.

Hey, Walking dad welcome back... Just noticing you post and wondering why you granted a save to Darek, I notice I forgot to update the init posting to show he made his save he's no longer blinded, so feel free to change your action if you feel like it.

Move Action: Shift 1 square to -E21.
Standard Action: Blinding Smash against Grell 2: 1d20+13=17 blarg another miss

ACTION POINT: Standard Action: Knee Breaker against Grell 2: 1d20+13=27, on hit: 2d10+13=21 damage (one of the d10 rolls was a 1 and the Craghammer is a Brutal 2 weapon, so I reroll the 1 and get 1d10=10 for a total of 30 damage) and Grell 2 is slowed (save ends).

Kyriel mutters a curse under her breath. The enemy, and her allies, were so thinly spread out. No sooner did she aid the battle on one corner than an entirely new spell was needed for the other.

She turned towards the lightning-throwing Grell and gestured. "Legions of heaven, strike down our enemies and shield the faithful!"

A silvery rift parted in the sky, and fire rained down through that slice. Each drop of fire revealed itself to be a sword crafted from pure flame. They dropped down around the leader grell, and around the two allies near it. Even as several blades swiped at the grell, the others clustered around Kyriel's friends and made to parry attacks against them.

(Blades of Astral Fire! 23 vs Reflex on leader grell, or suffer 10 radiant damage. Whether it hits or not, my two allies in the Burst 1 effect gain +4 to AC until the end of Kyriel's next turn.)

Roll Lookup
(Note - I rolled 22, but forgot to factor in the Coordinated Blast feat's +1 for having allies in the AoE)
