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

dimsdale · Oct 23, 2011

As the guard gets pummeled by the party and himself (thanks to Drew's attack), he does manage to yell a warning. The guard swings again, this time at Prime, missing badly.

[sblock=goblin]
We are under attack!

Deeper in the cave there you can hear more shouting and the rattling of chains. The shouting becomes louder, followed by a deep vibrating roar. A second guard appears, then charges forth into the battle to assist his comrade, too far away to attack though

ooc: 2nd round begins now

Voda Vosa · Oct 24, 2011

Vermitrax slams his staff against the ground again. Standing by himself the staff frees both hands for the spellcaster, who pronouncing some arcane mutterings, sprays some dust in front of him, which he retrieved from his pouch.
"...trasmutai, sangüíneamis, petríficulaster!" he finishes the spell, only the last three words of powers audible for his companions. As he pronounces these words, he performs the last movements of hands in the air.
The spell finished, runes appear in the ground, around the goblins, and shines brightly, sending a column of cian light upwards in a flash. As the ligth shines, parts of the creatures begin to turn into stone. The injured goblin is bleeding profusely already, and unfortunately, is that blood that turns into stone, but the other guard is uninjured... The part might just wonder if the same horrendous transformation is taking place inside the goblin, who screams in pain and contorts spasmodically.

Hits goblin 2 with Stone blood for 9 and slowed until endo of Vermi's next turn.

OOC:

In the interest of fairness, Drew's Drunken Monkey power doesn't make the target lose his next stardard action: it just makes an extra MBA against a target of Drew's power: he could have attacked any of us.

Prime slips under the first hobgoblin's guard, too busy defending himself to pay attention even to the ponderous automaton, and attacks the newcoming hobgoblin. The first blow is easily parried, but it's only a feint: Prime hits him with his shield so hard the hobgobling is sent fifteen feet back into the cave's mouth. Prime then advances to defend the entrance.

[sblock=actions]
Minor: Use the boots of the fencing master's encounter power to shift to H9. Since he shifted he gains a +1 item bonus to Ac and Reflex TENT
Standard: Tide of iron against new hobgoblin, fails. Hobgoblin is Marked.
AP, standard action: More Tide of Iron, this one connects for 16 damage, pushes hobgoblin 3 squares to current position, gainst another +1 bonus to Ac and Reflex, and Prime shifts to I10.
Move: Move to current position[/sblock]

[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)

Drew comes between the guard and charging dragon, slipping just as Sharpe flies past and kicking up guards torso before standing up, his hands darting toward the face of the hobgoblin. Each hand replacing the other so perfectly that along with swaying of the body Drew performs it's hard to target any particular part.

I forgot virtue of valor last round. Zharne should have 5 THP from bloodying the hobgoblin (I think Zharne was within 5 squares).

Gellan dodges quickly around the wounded hobgoblin, finishing him off with two swift blows. "How's that, eh?" he calls as he takes up a position threatening the other guard.

[sblock=Actions]Standard: Attack HG1 with Pressing Strike, shifting to H-10 prior to attacking. Hits AC 29 for 14 damage, leaving HG1 with 1 hp. Dammit.
Action point, standard: Attack HG1 with melee basic attack, hitting AC 26 for 13 damage. HG1 is dead.
Move: Walk to L-11. HG2 can take an OA if it wants. I wouldn't if I were HG2, but.... *grin*[/sblock]
