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

Zharne turns into his beastform again and engages the closest foe and vivisect the hobgoblin with his claws

[sblock=Action Details]
Minor Action:wildshape to beastform
Move Action:shift to T12
Standard Action:grasping claws@HF2(hits ref 21 for 22 damage and HF2 is slowed until next Zharne's next turn but that doesn't matter as Zharne kills him)
[/sblock]

The attack of the heroes is proves lethal to the goblins trying to hold the line. The
remaining goblin guard witnesses in horror his two comrades killed, one torn apart by Zharne
and the other being eating by the dragon! He tries to strike the dragon rider, but does not
succeed. The guard, however, shows no sign of quitting, even when he's outnumbered by so
many heros.

Meanwhile, the remaining goblin whimpers in the corner, not daring to move
after observing what happen to those around him as a result of the destructive spell
cast by the necromancer.

ooc: round 7 begins now.

As the hobgoblin truns to attack Sharpe, the vigilant Prime counterattacks with a sharp blow that is avoided at the last second. Now that he has the hobgoblin's full attention he tries to strike again, and once more the sieged goblin dodges the hammer.

[sblock=actions]
Before turn: combat clhellenge attack on hobgoblin as immediate interrupt when he attacked Sharpe, since Prime had it Marked. It fails to hit by 1, even with flanking bonus.
standard action: Shield feint attack on hobgoblin, fails to hit. Hobgoblin is Marked again
[/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 pitches forward, still continuing his swaying, trying to dart in a quick jab. As bad luck would have it, he stumbles upon the dead body of another guard and he misses.

Zharne uses the dragon as a springboard to launch himself into the air close to the death mage then flips in the air to land on his feet and facing in the direction of the remaining hobgoblin and with a snarl he charges the hobgoblin guard

Gellan scores a shallow cut across the remaining guard's midsection, sending it reeling back. He presses his advantage, glaring at the goblin as he follows.

Hey you're a druid, not a Dragoon! Sharpe complains as Zharne jumps off the Dragon.

ooc: Vermitrax up:

Using his magic missile again, Vermitrax finishes off the last hobgoblin, with a smirk in his face.

OOC: Autohit HG for 8.

Encounter over

As the last guard goes down the goblin in the corner screams in terror. nooOOOOO! The goblin runs to the left side of the cave then crawls into one of the many tunnels located along the wall.

As the party enters the room they see that the room contains plies of fighting equipment: helmets in one spot, pieces of leather armor in another pile, short swords, daggers and spears in yet another pile. All of the armor and weapons hold no value as they are poorly crafted. Along the walls are small burrowed holes. These holes, when taking a closer look, appear to be living quarters for a large battalion of goblins. They all appear empty, with the exception of the one goblin who entered one of them. The odor coming out of from the holes is unbearable.

Farther into the room to the left is a large pile of equipment, apparently the spoils of recent raids. Digging through this pile the monk finds some cloth armor that he can use. Nothing of value was found when the party checked the dead foes, except for a key found on one of the guards.

As you finish your search and come together as a group, the room and surrounding area is silent, except for the sound of the burning torches lighting the room and the occasional whimper of the lone goblin deep within on of the tunnels (marked on the map).

ooc: Milestone here.
