Adventure: Lord Byron's High-Seas High-Stakes (DM: Tenchuu, Judge: H.M.Gimlord)

[sblock=John]Arrow of warning was used. Technically, Hergunna killed it, since the order of operations should have been Arrow of Warning, Kruk's Free Attack, then Hergunna's attack. But since Ryry posted after you but before Kruk, I wrote it as if Kruk killed the Naga, for continuity's sake. [/sblock][sblock=Ryry/Dims]I hope you don't mind me calling you Dims. Just my lazy typing, although I realize it is perhaps not the most flattering-sounding nickname.

I'm not sure if he would have enough move left (or any) since the power is really an immediate reaction, and the move is a charge, not a normal move. But, I don't really know, and given my desire not that have to retcon my post, as well as my benevolent love of my players P), I'll play it as Ryry has suggested: Charge, trigger interrupt, finish charge/turn.

Kruk has another saving throw to use, left over from the end of last turn, to save vs weakened. His save vs slowed however (see below) will have to wait.
[/sblock]

"BACK!" the Adept blurted out, pushing Kruk backward. The dwarf was weakened by the blow, and still pushed forward, cleaving the adept and drawing blood.

After barely dodging a slew of attacks, the Adept stepped backwards, and took aim at Wil. "You as well, Stay back! Akneth Protects me!" The flaming attack struck true, burning Wil's skin and catching his garments on fire. The Adept retreated even further.

The Scaleshaper followed suit. Focusing its mind, the creature fired two more mind bolts, sending crippling waves of pain through Hergunna and Kruk's heads. It backed away slowly, and then more quickly, trying to retreat.

"Agggghhhh!...Cowards!" Kruk states, finding it hard to chase his foes. "Get back here and fight!" Thinking quickly, Kruk drops his axe and equips a throwing axe. He launches it at the adept. It hits causing a minor wound causing the adept to yelp in pain. "Well...better then noth'n" Kruk states outloud as he bends over with his hands grabbing his knees, trying to catch his breath, still unable to escape the effects of his weakend condition.

[sblock=ooc]FWIW... Unless the reaction says something about affecting any remaining move the target has (see Slow for an example of that sort of thing), I don't see any reason he can't continue moving up to his speed, and thus continue his charge. There's nothing special about the movement that's part of a charge except that each square has to move you closer to the target (which he still would be), you have to attack from the first possible square (which he still would be), and that you have to move at least two squares before the attack (which he still would be). If he was only pushed one square away, maybe there might be some argument about whether he could resume the charge because of that "at least two squares rule". Luckily that didn't happen so we don't have to worry about it. (And luckily Kruk used his boots for the extra speed boost!)[/sblock]
Hergunna-wolf snarls as the kobold tries to get away. She shifts to human shape and moves slightly closer before flicking a thorn whip at the adept. The vine catches the reptile around its throat, razor-sharp thorns slicing in to deadly effect, and falls dead.

[sblock=Actions]Start of Turn: Ongoing damage still blocked by resistance for this round.
Minor: Shift to human shape, including shift to E36
Move: to E38
Standard: Thorn Whip vs Adept (1d20+7=18, 1d8+5=13)
Saving Throws: Save vs Ongoing, Slow (1d20+1=16, 1d20+1=20) Yay.[/sblock]

"NICE JOB HERGUNNA!" Kruk shouts at the top of his lungs as the adept falls to the ground. "That guy was a pain in my arse!"

Kane charges past at full speed, stepping over the fallen adept.

[sblock=Kruk]Might not matter, but Kruk has 1 more save vs weakened for this round (1 for end of last action, and one for end of this action. You only rolled one of those).[/sblock]

thanks Tenchuu

Dims has a good ring to it. Feel free

save vs weakened: 1d20 = 9 lame... lol

Carolina struggles to move her tiny feet as far as she can, but she still isn't comfortable with the distance between her and the only remaining enemy.

"Hello, old friend," the halfling says as she brings her right hand up and levels her crossbow at the fleeing creature. Calmly, she pulls the trigger.

[sblock=Actions]Move to F33
Sly flourish (w/crossbow) vs. Scaleshaper hits AC 20 for 15 damage (Roll Lookup). I think that's a miss, though I'm not sure because of that whole not-shifting penalty.

Save:1d20=7
[/sblock]

Ahhh, not fire again! Wil beats at his clothing helplessly, in a high shrieky voice. He looks at the retreating creatures. Why do you stupid lizards always have to catch me on fire. The creature ignores him, so Wil leans over to Carolina. Got any potions? he whispers, stumbling around about to collapse...

[sblock=OOC] Whoops, got too close.
Take 5 ongoing fire damage
Standard: Cutting Words on the Scaleshifter 1d20+8=17 (misses by 1)
Minor: Take a potion from Carolina if she has one
Minor: Drink potion
Save? 1d20=2 oh, crappy.

Well the fight is almost over anyway, right?

Dims, Kruk was slowed, so he couldn't go that far.

IG, it did shift, so it was a miss

John, I took damage from you for the ongoing, but didn't apply the potion yet. If IG agrees in character, than consider those actions as posted. Otherwise...

And, I think it's almost over, but this dual slowed attack vs will is a real pain.[/Sblock]

"Ak..neth.." The adept uttered as it fell to the ground dead.

The Scaleshaper used its mind once again, firing psychic bolts at Hergunna and Kane. The two, slammed by the blast, felt sluggish; the force of the impact opened up old wounds on the Barbarian. The lone reptile continued its retreat.
