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

Hey shorty! You should help out as well! Sharpe shouts to Gellan.

Gellan whirls as the goblin archers focus their attention on him. Dashing forward, he makes a spinning leap at the nearest two and brings his weapons around in a complete circle, dropping one goblin entirely and leaving the other bleeding heavily.

The allies turn the tide in the battle, killing more guards and archers. One of the guards, not engaged in melee runs towards the falls, making sure that he was not in range of attack by any nearby heroes. Another archer jumps into the raging water and is quickly swept away by the current. The others fight on. The two guards get up and attack Prime, both missing. The remaining sniper fires an arrow at Drew at point blank range, hitting the monk.

I made a mistake with Drew's XP in post 411. He should have gotten
the XP for a Level 3 character, not Level 5. I tried to correct the post
but couldn't for some reason.

So, Drew should have received 2908 XP instead of 3537 XP

Drew slides closer to remaining enemies, his second step starting another of his wide sweep turns.

The turns ends in flurry of kicks and elbow strikes with severely wounded hobgoblin dropping down and other remaining shaky on it's last legs. The monk kicks one final time and rolls away using the momentum of the kick to prepare for charging the next one.

The still spinning Prime whacks the remaining hobgoblin so hard it flies at Zarne's feet, skull crushed and obviously dead. Continuing his unstoppable advance, one of his swings catch the surviving goblin hard dropping him also. Not seeing any more enemies remaining, Prime slowly stops to allow his mechanisms to cool down.

[sblock=actions]
Standard: Tide of Iron on HG8, hits for at least 8 damage, which was what the hobgoblin had so I dodn't bother to roll, shift to occupy his position.
Move: To current position.

At the start of his turn, the goblin at T9 will take 8 damage from Rain of Steel, enough to kill him. I saved everyone's time and directly marked him as dead in the map[/sblock]


[sblock=A guide to Prime's immediate actions]
With all the immediate action Prime is gathering, he’s becoming a complex character to have in pbp. In order to reduce the amount of retconning, feel free to use one of these actions at the first chance it could be reasonably useful, in the following order of priority:

• Combat Challenge (fighter feature, at will), a MBA he can make against a Marked enemy who shifts or makes an attack that doesn’t include Prime. Notice that he can push enemies up to 3 squares with this attack: since combat challenge is an interrupt, this has the potential to completely negate an attack if it pushes the enemy beyond melee range. Otherwise use the push to disrupt the enemy strategy as much as possible.
• Opportunity attack: Prime has a +2 to hit with OAs and a hit stops the target's movement (target can resume movement with new actions).
• Guardian’s counter (Encounter power), If an ally within 2 is being hit but the attack wouldn’t hit Prime or the damage to the ally would be severe
• Shield Edge Block (Encounter power), when he’s hit by a melee or close attack and a -4 penalty to hit would make the attack fail.
• Unbreakable (Encounter power), if hit by an attack that deals 10 or more damage (he’d negate 9 with the power -which isn’t described as damage reduction-, then 1 from armor property)

If you roll any attack granted by any of these actions, don't forget Prime's Warforged Tactics feat: +1 to hit enemies adjacent to at least one ally.

"Slay them all, leave non breathing." The wizard methodically advances now, through the battlefield, producing an orb of force he uses to terminate any still breathing goblin. Vermitrax shoots at point blank, the orb of force blowing up the heads of the unconscious victims, on a gory display. The wizard doesn't seem to enjoy the task, nor dislike it. He keeps his stoical expression throughout the whole process. He kneels to recover the staff of the fallen goblin shaman, take a better look at it, and then overkills the shaman.

OOC: Luckily you don't have actions to do what you say in-game

"Hey, mage! I didn't put down those goblins so you can slaughter them in cold blood! Kill another and I'll come after you treating you as one of them! I already told you, get your own kills if you have to, but leave mine to me!"
