[Adventure] KOGANÙSAN (DM: Sanzuo, Judge: TwoHeadsBarking)

Before anyone can react the monkey whips its arm back around, hurling a sticky, brown gob of something that smells truly wretched right at Kavac's head. Kavac deftly dodges at just the last moment and the slimy mess lands right at Brenwar's feet, spattering yuck all over his boots. The monkey begins to howl loudly and wave its arms around in a menacing gesture.


[sblock=Combat]As per the bulletin board combat recommendations I've received, I'm rolling your initiatives for you:

Aaaand none of you went before the mandrills, oops! Let's hope I roll this bad for the rest of the encounter, eh?[/sblock]

[sblock=Enemy Actions]Mandrill 1: Hurls... something at Kavac; miss.
Mandrill 2: Appears and hurls something at Shale; hit! Shale is blinded until the end of Mandrill 2's next turn.
Mandrill 3: Appears and hurls something at Karma; hit! Karma is blinded until the end of Mandrill 3's next turn.
Mandrill 4: Appears and hurls something at Brenwar; miss.
Mandrill 5: Appears and hurls something at Shrakk; hit! Shrakk is blinded until the end of Mandrill 3's next turn.[/sblock]

You hear the calls being returned from all around you coming from the jungle. Four more of these beasts come swinging down from the trees from all directions, hurling their smelly leavings all along the while. The party flinches and tries to evade, but Shale, Karma and Shrakk are caught in the crossfire. The sticky filth nails you three right in your faces, getting in your mouth, nose and eyes, the monkeys taunting you all the while.

[sblock=Party Status]Brenwar: Fine
Shrakk: Blinded until the end of enemy's next turn.
Karma: -1 Healing Surge, -2 on attack rolls and skill checks, Blinded until the end of enemy's next turn.
Kavak: Fine
Shale: -1 Healing Surge, -2 on attack rolls and skill checks, Blinded until the end of enemy's next turn.[/sblock]

[sblock=Map][/sblock]

[sblock=Terrain]The trees are difficult terrain, but also light concealment.
The pool is difficult terrain around its circumference (the 4x4 area) and the center is deep water.[/sblock]

[sblock=Player Actions]You guys take your actions in whatever order you post in. I will wait until you have all acted before posting the enemy's turns. This pattern will continue until you are all dead combat is over. Neat huh?[/sblock]

Shale yoinks the feral, poo-flinging halfling (probably) into the pool and sends a wave of desperation in his general direction. Then he stumbles to what he thinks would be a safer location.

[sblock=oocForceful push (encounter power) on F13 to F12 as a minor action. It doesn't require an attack roll and I don't think it counts as hindering terrain, so that monkey should be swimming right now. Then Dishearten centered on E12, catching 2 monkeys; if I'm reading the rules right, area attacks don't suffer the penaties for Blinded. Attack rolls are 13 and 7 Vs Will, damage is 5 and in the case anyone is hit it suffers -2 penalty to attack rolls until the end of my next round.

After all that move to a location better protected, preferably behind someone more durable, Depending on the rest of the group's action, that could be around F7 probably around E9 (changed in response to Brenwar's actions) [/sblock]

mispost, accidentally quoted too get sblock template and hit submit by accident.

Karma spins around and spews psychic energy back at where the missile hitting him roughly came from, bursting the entire area indiscriminately with psychic energy.

[sblock=ooc]I have no idea if I can do this blind, but it seems fair as a burst attack aiming roughly where you last knew them to be. Yay for controllers .[/sblock]

ooc: If I may suggest an strategy, when surrounded it's rarely a bad idea to crush through the enemy circle and present a clear front instead of allowing ourselves being attacked on all sides. In this case IMO the best idea is to nuke the I-11 od D-11 monkey and guard our flank using the pool.

[sblock=Actions?]So, what are your combat actions? I don't know what to do with your character from a narrative alone. Describe what power or powers you are using and what specific targets it includes.

And yes, bursts and blasts are not affected by blindness or concealment. You get your full attack bonus. Minus your penalty from Jungle Fever of course.[/sblock]

Brenwar dodging the flung material charges one of the nearby creatures hoping to keep it busy until his party regroups and gets the monkey's projectiles cleared from their eyes.

Standard Action: Charge with Ardent Strike (1d20+10=15, 1d10+5=14)+Charge Extra Damage from Weapon (1d8=8) the monkey in D11.

[sblock=Sanzuo]
I strongly suggest we use the combat method where you go ahead and tell us the creatures basic stats (Like this). It makes it a lot easier to describe our characters hitting or not and we can go ahead roll AoO for ourselves.

At the obvious sign of aggression Kavac quickly stows his waterskin. Excited to use his blade on something other than plant life Kavac charges towards the closest monkey roaring a battle cry that never attempted to be understood. As he reaches the monkey he brings his blade down with practiced precision and fury.
