Having succesfully evaded the mage's attack, Ianward tries to force his power to teleport next to the man, to no avail.

Angered at himself for missing such a great opportunity, Ianward moves towards the stairs and engages the strange dog like creature.

OOC:

Sorry, I read the long jump rules and didn't read on to the high jumps.

Instead, I'll move to I11, I can get there without any AoO (my speed is seven)

Then, I'll use 5 storms to attack both the Halbardier and the dog.

Five Storms, Halbardier then Dog. (1d20+5=22, 1d8+5=11, 1d20+5=10, 1d8+5=13)

H: 22vsR Hit for 11 Damage

D: 10 vs R, miss

I'll use free flurry of blows on the Halbardier for 4 damage, and slide him to J11

OOC:

just checking (important for my turn), but if I move to E5 (which I think I can get to with one move action, right?) I can hit C10 with a ranged 5 power by counting squares that are both on a diagonal and up 1, since they are adjacent. This is all correct, right? I can’t seem to find any rules on vertical range in any books I have, but I may just be overlooking them.

Artemis rushes from the stairwell, "I feel like I got caught with my pants down! Come on Mercurial! There's a fight going on!" He gives Mercurial a wink to let him know he is joking.

As Artemis moves forward, he's shouting encouragement to his friends, "Go get 'em Ian! Nice throw Bones! Yeah, claw his eyes out Sound!"

But he stops when he sees the arrows fly and hit his allies. In a voice an octave lower, "Feel my wrath archer!" His eyes flare with intense light and the archer reels in pain.

[sblock=actions] Move: to E6 or E7 (depends on if Someone says I can move diagonally from D3 to E2 or if I have to move to D2 then to D3).
Free: Cheer for allies!
Minor: Warlock's Curse on Archer 1
Standard: Spiteful Glamor at Archer 1: 1d20+4, 1d12+4 → ([8, 4], [4, 4]) Roll Lookup . Warlock's curse damage: 1d6 → [5] = (5) Roll Lookup . So I (barely) hit the archer (will 12) for 13 damage.
Free: If the archer is bloodied or dies, Darkspiral Aura gains one charge (removes curse). If attacked, use the charged Aura to deal 1d6 damage per charge to attacker. [/sblock]

They are in the DMG IIRC. You use the same rules for vertical reach as you'd use horizontally; in other means, you use the largest square count in the vertical or horizontal dimension to determine range, or if you prefer, a range 5 power allows you to reach an enemy that's both 5 squares from you on the map and 5 squares over you.

I'm Coming! the young Changeling yells as he exits the stairwell. Nice toy. Here's mine. He sais with a big grin when he notices the mechanical dog. He then throws a small mechanical man at the archer, which passes right over his head, and grows to a more substancial size.

Move: move to E5

[sblock=Obedient Servant] He has my bloodiede value in health, and my defences. move 6. and any enemy that is marked and starts it's turn next to him takes 2 damge. He also gets to make OAs for me. they are +7 vs AC, and deal 1d10+5 damage, and mark the target. Also, this picture looks good for his token, or anything else, realy.

Minor: draw dagger.
Standard: sly flourish with thrown dagger at archer (-2 for long range), 1d20 + 5 vs. AC = 17 hit! for 9 damage.

The battle quickly turns violent and brutal as a nasty melee erupts near the stairs and daggers, arrows and spells scream through the air. Ianward charges the construct dog, which ends with the construct ripping his armor (and a bit else) with it’s steel teeth. Sound of Stone joins the fray, his (its?) multiple limbs striking everywhere, before he’s felled by a powerful halberd strike from the guard. Seizing the opportunity, an archer pins the man-insect to the stone floor with an arrow. A new construct appears up the platform, but before Mercurial can give it instructions, she’s deafened by a thunderous roar and falls to one knee unable to see anything but stars.

[sblock=status]

Sound of stone: 32 damage, Bloodied, dying, Healing surges 5/8
Bones: 12 damage, Action point used
Ianward: Damage 14, Healing surges: 11/14
Artemis: Fine
Mercurial: 9 damage, Dazed, Healing surges 5/7
Halberdier: 34 damage, bloodied
Archer 1: 13 damage, Cursed
Archer 2: 9 damage
Mage: Fine
Dog: 20 damage, marked.
[/sblock]

[sblock=actions]
Ianward moves, hits dog for 9 damage and marks.
Sound moves, hits dog for 11 damage, hits halberdier for 4, slides him.
Artemis moves, curses archer 1, hits him.
Mercurial moves, creates servant, it fails to hit.
Bones moves, hits archer with dagger for 9 hp
Dog attacks Ianward, hits AC 24 for 14 damage
Soldier attacks Sound with Powerful Strike, hits AC 17 for 10 damage and he’s prone.
Archer 2 moves, crits Sound for 14 damage.
Epigenes shifts south, uses Thunder Burst on Mercurial and Artemis, hits Fort 19 and 9 respectivey, Mercurial suffers 9 damage and is Dazed.
Since Mercurial is Dazed, she or her summon can’t make AoOs. The last archer moves south, shoots Bones, fails.

[sblock=terrain]The stair where you currently are have solid walls that prevent you from going directly south. You currently have no line of sight or effect to any enemy, and to move through the e1 or e2 squares.
The water is deep enough to cover you, so you’d have to swim if you fall in it.
The raised squares are 10 feet above the main floor. Rubble is difficult terrain, stairs are normal terrain[/sblock]
