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

[sblock=DM notes: Please Ignore]

The leader lashes out at Prime and Zhane, missing both, obviously flustered by recent events.

THEY ARE ALL HERE...RIPE FOR THE PICKING!! SHOOT YOU SCUM OR DIE! YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DISOBEY ME!!!

NO! yells a familiar voice. Just then 10 goblins with bows step out from their hidding places. In unison the drop their bows and arrows. YOU NOT HURT US ANY MORE! . The snipers moves slowly towards the north entrance. The one you captured looks at the party You not hurt us if we go...yes?

AGGGHHHH! I WILL KILL YOU ALL! The leader slowly moves backwards towards the narrow passege.

ooc: It's your turn.

The hobgoblin leader thinks his dancing antics can distract Prime, but the clockwork man's combat protocols are too advanced. He strikes the hobgoblin hard, and oblivious to the non-threatening goblins pressures him without pause.

[sblock=actions]
Before turn: WL triggered Combat Challenge when shifting. The melee basic attack hits for 10 damage.
Move action: Move to current position
Standard action: Tide of Iron on WL, fails by a mile but Marks HL again.

Dimsdale, notice that Prime can push 3 squares when he hits with Combat Challenge. If the hobgoblin tries to to the same attack-shift-attack maneuver again, roll to hit for Prime and place the hobgoblin so, if possible, can't reach another party member with the remaining shift.

[sblock=mini-stats] Prime Warforged Fighter 5
[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)

Vermitrax eyes glow in silvery lights again. "You are not going anywhere."
The hoboblin's eyes glow with the same faint silvery light, as he repeats "I'm not going anywhere..." while drooling, and stumbling towards the mage.

Hypnotize hobgoblin, slide him 5.

"Do not interfere. You are free to go, on my word. Thank you."

Drew starts running, but stops short before reaching his destination. He wasn't about to risk startling unknown goblins. He felt fairly sure they won't lash out at him even when passing him close by, but why risk it.

Instead he takes deceptively unstable stance, waits for an opening and slides over to warlords side just as he turned expecting the attack from the front.

He punches with both hands, fingers straigh and stiff, striking the warlord hard in the neck and turning him back toward the dragon, making it difficult to retaliate.


[sblock=Actions]
Move: From J31 -> K32 -> K33 -> J34 -> I34
Minor: Movement technique of Fallen Needle: Drew shifts 1 square to H34

Standard: Fallen Needle vs Ref (warlord); damage (1d20+7+2=21, 1d10+6=16) - add 6 damage from FoB; Drew gains +1 AC & Ref - slide warlord to I33; Warlord is at -2 to hit Drew

Total effects:
warlord slid and takes 22 damage
warlord is at -2 to hit Drew
Drew gains +1 AC & Ref
[/sblock]

Gellan follows up the attacks on the hapless hobgoblin, racing around his draconic ally to pass by the warleader with a dizzying slash that sends him stumbling.

[sblock=Actions]Minor: Designate warleader as Hunter's Quarry
Move: Walk to H-33
Standard: Attack warleader with Pressing Strike. Shift before the attack to J-33, passing through the warleader's square. Attack hits AC 25 for 23 damage, including bonus damage for rage and for Hunter's Quarry. Warleader is pushed to H-33.[/sblock]

[MENTION=5656]Someone[/MENTION] Got it. But I see a potential problem with this. How will I know where you want Prime to shift the foe. Should I make the shift, then you verify if the shift is acceptable to you when you post again. I'll assume that all of your CS hit and shifts are designed to move the foe away from any ally until you tell me otherwise.
