It's burst 5...as missed that she's under the platform...as they are 6 above the ground and she is 1 square high I'd say she's missed because she's dwarf goliath...if she was towering monstrosity, her head would be in the area of effect

Seeing Chael falter, Alexia incants a quick spell to restore her ally. She then slices into one of the harpies, hexing it with additional weakness.

[sblock=Actions]Minor: Majestic Word on Chael, healing surge + 8, granting 5 thp, and Chael can slide one square.
Standard: Guiding Strike Harpy 2. Hits AC 24 for 15 damage. If that hits, the Harpy takes a -2 penalty to AC until the end of my next turn and I'll use Essence of Death to deal another 10 necrotic damage to it.

With Alexia's help, Chael moves back into the battle and Dusk then magically appears next to her.

"Well, that takes care of those two." Chael says as she knocks two more gnolls into the pit. "I hope that monster is hungry."



[sblock=Actions]
Alexia heals Chael 25 hit points. 6+25 = 31.
Alexia slid Chael to E18.
Alexia gave Chael 5 temp hit points.

Standard: Magic Stone on Harpy 3, GCF2, and GG1 in that order.

Harpy 3 gets an opportunity attack


natural 1 Harpy 3, 24 GCF2 (save 5), and GG1 30 (save 4) vs. Reflex, 12 damage

GCF2 and GG1 hit and fall.

Falling Damage for GCF2 and GG1.

[sblock=Immediate Actions]
In order:

Not doing Mind Spike this round.

IR
Mind Spike
Trigger: An adjacent enemy marked by Chael deals damage to her ally with an attack that doesn’t include her as a target.
Effect: The target takes force and psychic damage equal to the damage that its attack dealt to Chael's ally.

If Alexia hit, use Guardian's Counter this round.

II
Guardian's Counter
Close burst 2; Trigger: An ally within 2 squares of Chael is hit by an attack and she is not included in the attack.
Effect: Chael and the ally shift up to 2 squares as a free action, swapping positions. She becomes the target of the triggering attack, in place of the ally. After the attack is resolved, Chael can make a basic attack against the attacker.

If hit, will do Forceful Reversal Augment 1 (without shifting).

IR
Forceful Reversal (augment 1)
Trigger: An enemy hits Chael.
Attack: +14 vs AC
Hit: 1d8+6 force damage, and Chael pushes the target 1 square.
Effect: Chael doesn’t get her normal standard action on her turn.

Hit: 1d8+6 force damage, and Chael pushes the target 1 square and then shifts 1 square to the square the target vacated. In addition, she gains combat advantage against the target until the end of her next turn.
Effect: Chael gets her normal standard action on her turn.
Augment 2
Hit: 2d8+6 force damage, and Chael knocks the target prone. The target cannot stand up until the start of its next turn.

ooc: Sorry for the delay, modem died friday afternoon, so had to wait for the ISP to send a new one. Rohna just plugs her ears and double moves under the platform then climbs up the other side.

kal'Tarron reels from the blow. Gathering himself, he swings his axe again, slashing a wound into the gnoll's chest.

The troll's attempt to blind the undead knight in darkness is met with yet another jarring hammer smash to the face. The troll falls down before Czern pummels it again. As Malehan kills the target of his deity's scorn, Czern uses the dying gnoll's energy to flay some of the shadow off the troll.

The troll laughs, "You are not so unlike us, undead one. Join us! Slay these weak fools who walk with you and join us!"

The gnolls to the west, newly found in the muck, clamber up the scaffolding. The first gnoll knocked off the platform finally reenters the fray landing two slashing attacks on the shifter warrior. Along with another nasty arrow from the archer, Chael is swaying dangerously close to death.

The harpies continue to attack and batter against Alexia, but fail to land another blow.

At about the same time, everyone hears the whistling sound of something moving at fast speed. Anyone who has been near the impact of a catapult recognizes the characteristic sound of stone hurtling through the air. There is a pause the fight as everyone's head angles up to find out the source... or impact... of the noise.

A second later a large grey boulder swoops down next to the bridge, the air blast from the projectile blows hard over the platform as the object impacts with the sludge down below, creating a explosion of filth. The harpy next to the bridge appears to be missing, until you see down in the muck, trapped under the boulder that just landed right in the middle of the battle. Its legs twitch in a disconcerting way as the harpy's head remains below the level of the slime.

The troll rambles to its feet again, shouting, "Finish them fast, you fools! We have to go!"

The shadow troll attacks the priest, hitting him with a shadow claw. A moment later the shadow troll screams in agony as it is consumed by the priest's magic.

The gnoll who hits kal'Tarron also experiences pain from the priest's magic.

The troll lands two solid blows on the undead knight, then cries out in pain. With a snare he summons a third shadow troll who attacks Malehan, but misses.

[sblock=religion 15] The gnolls and troll all bear marks of offering to Yeenoghu, the patron demon of gnoll kind. Other beings worship the jackal headed demon as well. [/sblock]
[sblock=nature or dungeoneering 18] The thing in the muck is definitely a otyugh, not surprising given they feed on anything and are common in sewers or other disgusting areas. Given their low intelligence, these creatures are likely neutral and not allies of the other creatures here. [/sblock]
[sblock=perception30] The boulder shape is very odd, angular at places, sloped at others. But the most odd thing is the whole boulder seems symmetric. [sblock=perception 35] That boulder is a not a boulder, but a stone creature holding onto the harpy. Well, holding the harpy's head submerged [/sblock] [/sblock]

Platforms are 30 feet above the sludge. Rusty railings are present around outside of platforms. There are support beams and girders around the bottom of the platforms. YOU CAN WALK UNDER PLATFORMS.

DC for climbing is athletics or acrobatics 15 (due to slime buildup on the structure)

Sludge is difficult terrain.

Boxes of Debris are difficult terrain.

Map: Here.

You can see something wrapped in a cloak and bound with ropes on the platform behind the troll. (Blue square on map)

The Depths Platforms Round 6?
Rohna, Goliath Fighter/Warlord 8

Rohna cracks her neck as she stands back up on top of the platform. Her glossy black plate flows back over her chiseled, obsidian physique as she draws the fire-blackened Kordestad from its perch on her back. She lowers her gaze on the gnoll at the back and charges. Rohna's maneuver cannot be mistaken as the hazy form of a rhino with lowered head winks into being around her. The crunch as korestad catches the underside of the untouched gnoll's chin can be heard across the entire platform. The littlest goliath is apparently done talking. (Meanwhile the first platform) Without his rider, Olaf shies away as the combat draws toward him.
