Adventure : Humanitas Severe

Ashir moves up carefully, cursing their choice of going through the forest and spots the second archer. The flaming arrows on his allies made Ashir quite angry, they were sitting ducks here and then the drake! Knowing this was a desperate battle, the wizard drew upon his most potent spell, a powerful fire spell. The archer is able to dodge its initial assault, but the tremendous heat of the flames will burn anything close to it.

[sblock=ooc]
yeah. sorry about that everyone. I believe that max has none of his daily powers available for this battle.

Max, now in position to attack the bear, yells to Raiko "Shift over a little to your left Raiko. Yeah...right there" As Raiko moves, the bear is distracted, leaving an opening for Max. Max swings with all of his might creating a deep gash on the bear's right leg. The bear turns, swinging wildly with his right claw swishing over Max's head. Raiko sees his chance to make the bear pay, and does so by thrusting his blade into the bear's back.

[sblock=actions]
minor: none
movement: knight's move: raiko shift one spot to the left to cause a flanking situation.

attack: brash attack against bear: 1d20+9+2 (flank) + 1 (god power) = 27 for 10

Raiko attack: 1d20+9+2 (flank) + 1(lend might) = 27 for 1d10+6= 11

total damage on bear: 21 hp

[/sblock]

"This form makes movement delayed!" He swings at the bear, expertly with his sword, but gets blocked by a swipe of the paw. "I have little choice but to deal with the bear first."

"I hate the pets of the fey," Haruka states, swiping her hand across the drake's snout. It is a light blow, but the creature recoils as though stung. "I hate the realms of the fey," she laments as her form dissipates into scarlet mist. Haruka reforms at the edge of the clearing, sending a tangible wave of backlash at the two archers. "But what I really hate are the fey themselves."

[sblock=Actions]Minor: Curse drake.
Move: Ethereal Stride to N11, gaining +2 to all defenses and retaining concealment.
Standard: Tyrannical Threat, which will catch both eladrin. Hits both with a 16 and 28 vs Will for an amazing 8 psychic damage. They are both cursed. In addition, for the rest of the encounter, whenever an enemy cursed by me attacks me, that enemy takes 3 psychic damage.

By the way Mal, your status has me at having 3 more hp than I actually do, since I didn't start the combat at full. And what are the light blue squares in the clearing?[/sblock]

Ashir is also at 30/34 + 10 THP's, as he also wasn't full up [/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Blue squares are tents. Ashir couldn't have made his fire sphere appear through the tent because of LOS issues but it can certainly move through it.[/sblock]

[sblock=Knight's Move]It grants a a move action, but Raiko couldn't shift; it's difficult terrain and each move count double, including shifts (unless you are an elf). Since Raiko has no powers allowing him to shift 2 squares by move action, he couldn't move in flanking position without risking an Opportunity attack.

Since neither attacks would have missed without the +2 bonus, I'll just retcon that move; you still have your utility power.
[/sblock]

[sblock=You can't shift in difficult terrain!]It counts double. You can't do the standard Move action to shift 1 square. You need a power that allows you to shift more than 1 square (and then pay double).
[/sblock]

The Bear furiouslt attack Raiko and finally makes a dent.

The drake locks on Ashir and puts the wizard in a precarious position.

Not as precarious as Haruka, though! The last occupant of the camp comes into view; an elven death shaman. Together with the archers, they inflict a volley of fire that shake the warlock.

Wow. A very good outcome. Hit only once and for just 4. And they take 6 damage each (Which will teach them pretty fast not to use fire arrow again if they can help it!)

Max hears Haruka taking damage from her location behind the rock. He risks his cover in order to help. In doing so he takes a massive claw swipe from the bear right in the chest. "Arrrgghhhh" Max states as he dreadfully underestimated the power of the bear. Carrying on with his objective he speaks. "Keep up the pressure Haruka. We'll be there as soon as we can!" He then attacks the bear from his new position.

Haruka smirks as her shadow lashes out in retaliation against her attackers. She reaches out towards one of the archers, but her hex finds no purchase. Frowning, she slips past their guards as she whispers maledictions against the fey arcanist.

[sblock=Actions]Standard: Vampiric Embrace the southern eladrin. Missed so I take a point to not lose the power.

ren, how well can you operate with the drake on you? Do we need to reprioritize our targets?[/sblock]

[sblock=Rules Question]
Ok, so enlarge spell increases Blast size by 1 right? So thunderwave is now blast 4 if its enlarged. Ok, so a blast 3 is one square on each side of Ashir (L,M,N on our battlemap), now by increasing it by 1, do I choose which column is added (i.e. I'd prefer K to catch the bear)? I'll assume yes, but if not, then I'll use Fire Shroud instead, which has the same attack, but slightly different damage [/sblock]

Ashir focuses on maintaining the deadly fire spell, despite the bite from the drake, luckily the godling, Raiko, had buffered their strength. Ignoring the closeness of the beast, Ashir moves the ball onto one of the tents and continues to force the eladrin into the forest, and closer to his allies.

With that completed, Ashir then turns to the close threat, conjuring an explosion of sound that washes over the drake, and catching the large bear as well, but the trees disrupt the wave and it is easily withstood. Drawing on his inner strength, Ashir unleashes another assault and this time the drake is knocked back a step from the wizard, giving him a moment of breathing room.

[sblock=ooc]
*Ashir should be ok at close quarters for a round or two, need to finish off those archers! He's got shield to help with an attack + the daily power of his brooch to essentially block 1 attack.
Minor: Sustain the Sphere
Move: Move Sphere to L10
Standard: Enlarged Thunderwave - catching K,L,M,N 15,16,17,18 - Thunderwave (drake, bear); thunder damage (1d20+7=17, 1d20+7=9, 1d6+7=8) Bwah!
Ok...AP: repeat - Thunderwave (drake, bear); thunder damage (1d20+7=22, 1d20+7=13, 1d6+7=9) ok, one hits on the drake for 9 measly damage, but its pushed to N17.

Oh, forgot +1 to hit again., but still just misses the drake on the 1st attack.

[sblock=OOC]And that's why I specify what type of damage I use! So player can remind me if they happen to be resistant!

Actually, I'm serious.[/sblock]

[sblock=Max]So that was a move and it caused an OA

ouch
[/sblock]

[sblock=Ashir]You can place the 4x4 square however you want as long as at least one corner of it. Your attack was fine.

PS: I moved the sphere. You should moved it around and push the drake where you want to yourself.
