[Adventure]: The Bane of the Black Dragon (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

Prime raises his shield, unsure of what the hobgoblin is going to do.

[sblock=actions]
If rolling 19 means going before the hobgoblin: Use Total defense (standard action) and shift 1 square to the right (+1 to AC and Ref saves). This way I'll go after Vermitrax, but before the hobgoblin acts again.

Else I'll see what the hobgoblin does before posting.[/sblock]

[sblock=Things to remember]

• Prime has damage reduction 1 against all damage
• When an enemy marked by Prime makes an attack that doesn’t include him, he can make an Immediate Interrupt to make a Melee Basic Attack against him. If the attack connects, he can push the target up to 3 squares; since interrupts happen before the action that provoked them, pushing an enemy that attacks an ally beyond reach can potentially negate the attack altogether. Notice also that this attack isn’t an opportunity attack
• Prime has a +2 bonus to hit with Opportunity attacks and if they hit they stop enemies if a move provoked the attack. They can resume moving using other actions.

Trigguers:
Shield Edge Block when the -4 to the enemy’s roll can negate the attack
Guardian’s Counter when an ally within 2 squares is attacked, especially if the swap would negate the attack (it hit the ally’s defense, but is not high enough to hit Prime’s)

Fine, you don't come here. I come to you! The hobgoblin moves forward and then stops, tossing the flask in his hand at the feet of the wizard and fighter. The impact causes a blast of bright light. Vermitrax and the Prime find it hard to see. . The hobgoblin then equips his weapon and charges Vermitrax. The foe's blade sinks deep into the wizard's leg. Blood gushes from the wound.

ooc: The heroes are up

Vermitrax is surprised by the ferocity of the attack, but as Batman, he come sprepared for everything. He wears a strange, odd looking broch. Something your 85 years old aunt could have given you. But this piece of ugly craftsmanship contains apowerful enchantment. As the goblinoid delivers his lethal blow, the broch glows and creates a shield around the caster. The blade is not able to penetrate it.
However, the mage is blinded for the moment, so he decides to cast a defensive spell. The party doesn't seem to notice what happens, as the wizard smashes the his staff in the cave ground, but the hobgoblin's eyes widen as he sees how the ground breaks and rips open, revealing a precipice, which's bottom crawls with carrion crawlers. The creature drops to the ground, trying to grasp the imaginary edges of the chasm, as the mage retreats behind the lines.

OOC: Immediate interrupt to negate the charging attack, absorving 10 dmg. Then, dainly power: Phantom Chiasm, misses. Anyway, the hobgoblin is prone and takes 7 dmg. Move action is spent to move behind the lines. Vermitrax makes both saves.

Prime flais wildly with his hammer, and is actually surprised when one of the swings connects with something. He only hopes it's the enemy.

+++WARNING! WARNING! OPTIC SENSOR OVERLOAD!+++

[sblock=actions]
Standard action: Shield feint against the hobgoblin, with -5 penalty for total concealment and +2 for combat advantage from Prone, both counted on the roll. It hits AC 22 fot 17 damage, gains a +3 power bonus to his next roll attack roll against the same target and the hobgoblin is Marked. Since Prime hit with a power that requires a shield, he gains +1 to AC and Ref defenses.
Move action: Shift to current position, gaining another +1 to AC and Ref.
End turn:Fail saving throw. Well, I can't still make attacks of opportunity, but I can make combat challenge attacks.

Drew hears the commotion, but finishes his task first. It's only a single warlord after all. "The wizard can handle it for sure, pompous windbag." he things to himself wrily. He focuses whole of his attention into the sense of touch, running his hand over the wall, torch, torch sconce and every nook and crany on the wall, his eyes wondering quickly over the surface, trying to spot something out of place.

His focus is just over waist level as that would be where goblins natural reach would be, but he doesn't forget the floor and the area just over his head. Due to speed he doesn't check the area above his easy reach.

OOC: I'd say, easy reach would be between 7'-7'4'' at most.

[sblock=Actions]
Move: S26 -> V26 -> S23 - this assumes I can check while moving, if not, movement to U26 only to check 3 adjacent squares

Standard: Move to M22, conditional on not finding anything. If he does, I'll change this.

Watched and be amazed! You too, Sharpe says to Prime. In my hand I have a sword, nice and sharp, Sharpe says clanging it against the cave wall to demonstrate. With this deadly sword I have in my hand I shall plunge it into my chest like so, he says demonstrating. And bippity-boppity-boo, I am unharmed! he says pulling it out, not so much as a bit of blood or bard stains the blade.

Thank you, thank you! he says bowing.
