[Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

GROMkill · Aug 12, 2011

OOC:

It turns out that the cabin I'm staying at this weekend in Lake Tahoe has wifi. Sweet!

As Takahaan's furor continues to build, the dragonborn continues his vicious onslaught against the jungle-fiends plaguing the beautiful jungle scenery. Approaching the massive treelike creature that has been torturing his new friend with such viciousness, he yells at it. "Your end is nigh!" Dropping his sword arm, he reels back; his eyes have turned a burning, crimson red tinge, sweat and blood dripping from his face and body.

Reeling back in his signature fashion, a loud, sharp guttural sound emanates from deep within his throat as he expels a blast of flaming breath out toward the Caller. The burst of fiery wrath blankets the creature, and the powerful dragonborn screams a victory cry, his aimed breath true as an arrow. The creature alight, Taka turns to his companion with a big grin on his face.

"Noriaki! For ages they will speak legends of our feats upon this isle!"

[sblock=Takahaan's Actions] Move: Walk to H15

Minor: Dragon Breath in corners G16, I18. 1d20+8=22 1d6+1=7 Hits Caller's Reflex 14 for 17 damage including the fire vulnerability. I believe this kills the Caller.

Standard: Total Defense. Oh, and gloat.

Conditions

Bloodied, giving Taka +1 to attack rolls from racial.

[sblock=Important Features] Bravura Presence: When an ally who can see you spends an action point to take an extra action and uses the action to make 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 hits, the ally can either make a basic attack or take a move action after the attack as a free action. If the attack misses, the ally grants combat advantage to all enemies until the end of his or her next turn.

Combat Leader: You and each ally within 10 squares who can see and hear you gain a +2 power bonus to initiative. +1 to attack rolls when bloodied.

Dragonborn Fury: When you’re bloodied, you gain a +1 racial bonus to attack rolls.[/sblock] [/sblock]

Kane feels his mind emerge at last from the bloody haze.

"Die!" he screams with a flash of his sword that sends a jet of flame towards his blighted tormenter ... but his mind desoriented and reeling betrays him and the jet fires away harmlessly to the side of the creature. He then moves as far back as possible to avoid the devastating mental attacks keeping the flame alive.

I don't think I have any option at this point but to fall over and start dying. We're out of healing, neh?

sou ne.

Mewness · Aug 12, 2011

GM:

Caller has threatening reach 3. It gets an OA against Takahaan.

caller melee basic vs Reflex, Takahaan; damage
18(1d20) +6 = 24; 2(1d8) +5 = 7 Takahaan is hit for 7 and grabbed while in, say, H14. He still kills it with dragon breath, though.

[MENTION=75065]jbear[/MENTION]: the caller is already dead by the time Kane takes his turn, and he can't move the sphere adjacent to the zombie without hurting Dartmoor. If you want to retcon and do something else entirely, go for it.

Edit: party is out of healing, yes. Although I suppose someone could try to grant Dartmoor a save with the Heal skill.

OOC:

Nah, I'll just fall over. @jbear , feel free to hit me with the sphere. Below 0 is pretty much all the same. Worst case scenario is me getting CDG'd, and I'd be dead from that either way, really.

ETA: Alright, maybe I was a bit hasty. Ongoing 5 actually hurts at low levels... I'm cool with the sphere passing by, still. It'll just hurt more than I first expected.

The Captain is overtaken by the rot infecting him from the zombies attack. He falls to the ground. Jeremy stops playing as he sees his commander drop. The rest of the Irregulars stand in shock.

Noriaki casts his gaze around the battlefield, just in time to see Dartmoor fall. He charges through the jungle like a hurricane, arriving at Dartmoor's side and drawing forth his blade. Sweat drips down his forehead from the effort of holding his spell in place. With a shudder, Noriaki drops to one knee, and a burst of thunder peals in the air to no effect. The young warrior strains to bring the primal forces he called forth under control, shakily getting back to his feet.

OOC:

Okay, Kane stays where he is and double moves the sphere down the bottom of the zombie instead

Mewness · Aug 13, 2011

GM:

I'll put the sphere in R15. Seems like a good place for it. Noriaki is on top of Dartmoor, as the square he wanted to charge to is occupied by Castile.

Hú Lí steps gingerly over to a bare patch of ground, where she can get a good view of the last remaining foe. She blows yet another sharp blast, and the undead menace stumbles backward, passing between Kane's flaming sphere and Castile's axe. The latter hits it solidly as it passes.[sblock=actions]Move: to P19
