If Nar-Heru knows anything else (powers, vulnerabilities, resistances) about the Bodaks (Arcana knowledge check +2 for the book,) he will shout out to everyone.

Then he'll Summon Magma Beast, behind the unblind Bodak. It will attack. Then Nar will move back 1 square.

Their gaze brings death. In this case, maybe after being hit by their axe. Vunrability: holy light.

Which Ghen is already waiting to unleash. He should also be able to revive the rogue.

Forge: you provoke one bodak to attack you and make it pay (32 damage, using the “b&p” crit die)! The other one ignores you, perhaps not seeing you. You then totally fail to bash and pummel the first, perhaps due to its truly horrid gaze. (I had to use the first two rolls). In your rage like fury you instead trip and fall prone. But then you make an incredible comeback strike, devastating the life-sucker! (though its not quite ichored yet).

Did I mention the gaze? You take 20 necrotic damage (and suffered -2 on attacks…not that it mattered).

Nar: you call forth your beast, but fail to hit (I will assume the beast takes the 5 damage).

The Vats: seem to stir.

Ghen: calls forth a healing word for Lucian (surge plus roll below) and a healing word on the two bodaks. He takes 10 damage for his trouble (needs a pretty high roll to hit).

Manages to hit the blind one. The other shakes off the radiant power.

EDIT: map attached.

Forge prepares his defenses. . . If hit by a melee attack that looks like he could block, he'll trigger shield edge block (-4 to attack roll) and attack +17 v. fortitude for 2d6+6 damage. If he's bloodied, he'll trigger reactive surge or free action second wind, depending on whether he has used his immediate action. If hit by a melee attack and not bloodied and can't block, he'll trigger storm sheild for 2d6 damage. This is his general posture out of turn going forward. Of course, he'll use his opportunity attack if opportunity presents itself.

Buckthorn will shift One square to the east (right). He will name the closest Bodak as his Hunters Quarry. He will shoot at the Bodak using Twin Stike. Also, he will shout a question to Nar: "Does averting our eyes avoid the gaze effect? If we covered our eyes would we avoid damage?" (trying to clarify if damage is due to us looking at it or it at us). If attacked, Buckthorn will use Second Chance.

It's also granting combat advantage because it's dazed by forge's mighty strike.

Buckthorn steps and hits the dazed bodak (which prevents it from making an AoO in response...this is a good thing) with an arrow.

Lucian tries to skewer it, and, regardless of what happens, takes advantage of its dazed condition to walk away from it. EDIT: or would if he wasn't dazed and weakened. Which he no longer is.

EDIT: sadly, he misses. (gaze offsets CA, Lucian ignores the necrotic damage).

The attack penalty you are taking probably reflects a natural gaze aversion.

Forge, they communicate in their twisted tongue, then attack while flanking. You block the blind one with your shield! (make your bonus attack on your turn.) The other one just misses! (roll 4).

The blindness does end.

Buckthorn: -5 HP, 5 HS*| Paranoid+: will +2 | SpOA
Forge: -20 hp; 8 HS | Lethargic+: Fort +2 | C&GI, B&P, AP, SEB
Ghen: -10 HP, 5 HS | Distracted+: Int +4 | MomGl, CLWM, Ast Wve, HlWd
Lucian: 55 HP,5 HS* | Mistrustful: no moving through allied spaces | Cloak, Boots, BlBrg |
Nar: 6 HS | Wrathful: grant CA | Mgm Bst, Staff

Bodaks: one ichored.

*one HS assumed lost do to unclear damage at end of last session.

Please post by Tuesday night!

As the bodak raises his axe to strike the dwarf, he eats the edge of Forge's sheild. Forge smashes his axe on the flanked bodak and follows through with an upward strike at the second bodak's thigh. Forge continues his frenzied attack and each bodak's flesh opens (at the start of their turn).

Sheild edge block; Arm's master challenge; minor for sheilded sides (+2 ac and reflex and no flanking ca); rain of steel still on.

As usual, forge will use reactive surge (imm. reaction) and/or tempered in blood (free action) if bloodied by either bodak.

Daring gamble.

Vaulting charge at the nearest target with infernal sneak attack.
