Trapped in Hell's Basement (DM: Mal Malenkirk Judge:Covaithe)

Haruka whispers hoarsely at the archer, but then ignores him in favor of the greater threat. She unleashes another crackling lash, but this one discharges uselessly into the passage's floor. "Hmmph. Not my best work, I'll admit."

[sblock=Actions]Minor: Curse archer.
Move: Move to current location, gain concealment. The latter isn't shown on the map. Am I blind? Is the concealment token hiding somewhere?
Standard: Eldritch Blast the elite trooper. Nope. Huh, thought he had more hp left than 1. Well, Eyes of the Vestige would have missed with those rolls too, so I don't feel like such an idiot.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Can a Paladin use Lay on Hands on himself?

If so, Raiko will use his remaining Minor to Lay on Hands himself.

Otherwise, Raiko will spend an action point to use Holy Strike, taking advantage of Bravura Pressence. Two attacks seems a better defense than Second Wind, considering the potential damage of the Dretch.

1 Damage from Aura. +1 to hit from Dragonborn Fury.

Holy Strike: 26 vs AC, 17 radiant damage.
Basic Attack: 12 vs AC, is a miss.[/sblock]

[sblock=Mal]
Since my AP is back, can I use it now since Raiko's attack almost finished off the other dog? I could either use it to heal Raiko or to make another attack on the beast. If you want me to wait until the bad guys go again I'm fine with that too.
[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Don't split your actions over many posts please. I will be lenient for non-offensive actions with no impact on the battlefied (i.e. lay on hand for Raiko), but no AP, especially if someone acted since your action.
[/sblock]

Patrin tries to finish off the trooper but the foe is resilient. So is Patrin and while still dazed he hold his ground.

The archer keeps firing on Haruka but misses this time.

Pressure increases as a small drake the size of guard dog appears at the gate of the temple.

-''Go Brutus! Go!'' shouts the archer.

Entrance

The wounded dretch goes into a frenzy and lashes at both warriors, severely wounding Max. Smelling blood, it takes another swing at Max but draws divine disapproaval for his actions and he is shocked by radiant energy.

The guard turned crossbowman suffers no such sanction when he nearly puts down Max with a well placed bolt.

The Dretch Frenzy, free action when bloodied, one or two creature tales a claw attack (The other Dretch was technically bloodied by Sheng, at range, before he had people in contact with him. I think. Maybe Raiko was in range. Hey, if I miss one, it's no biggie, right?)

1 vs 18 AC Max, 2 vs 20 AC raiko (1d20+5=25, 2d6+2=12, 1d20+5=17, 2d6+2=5) nits max, miss raiko

The frenzy is a single action so it does not trigger the mark/challenge.

Dretch attacks Max as a standard action. This very much triggers the challenge
vs AC 18 (1d20+5-2=6, 2d6+2=5) miss, dretch takes 4 radiant

Max staggers back and then steadies himself. "Still alive...good...I live to fight another day!... Hit'm Raiko" Raiko's sword connects, slicing through the beast.

[sblock=Bravura Presence when using an AP]
When an ally I see spends an action point to take another action to use it as an attack, the ally can choose to take advantage of this feature before the attack roll. If the ally chooses to do so and the attack hit, the ally can choose to make a basic attack or a move action as a free action after the AP action. If the AP attack misses, the ally grants CA to all enemies TENT.

Ashir's brightly glowing lightning soften to a dull glimmer as the power begins to diminish. He points his staff at the guard, the tip of it only an inch from the man's chest. Another wave of thunder blasts out from the implement and the force is finally enough to finish off the enemy.

Ashir sees the way is clear and more enemies coming from the rear, "Come Haruka, Patrin, we need to link up with our allies, we are stronger with greater numbers" Ashir thinks.

Haruka looks at the nearby enemies with what would appear to be longing. ...very well. Let's go. As she pulls herself away and down the hall, she sends another distortion at the drake, but the beast doesn't appear to notice. Haruka rolls her eyes in exasperation.

[sblock=Actions]Free: Gain 6 thp when Elite Trooper dies.

Standard: Eyes of the Vestige "Brutus". Sometimes, you roll a 3.
Move: Move to current location on map 1, retain concealment.[/sblock]

"RRargh!" Raiko rushes forward, over the bodies of the slain and slashes cleanly across the guard with one stroke. He points suddenly to the bridge near Sheng.

"Check the bridge for more." He says before attuning his sense on the area before him, trying to judge what kind of troops and in what stage of readiness, lay ahead.
