OOC: Sorry jbear, not sure where Rain is going here. Rain made the Perception roll (so, she is not surprised), but lost the initiative roll with a 13 against your 14. That doesn't seem to follow with what you wrote.

OOC:

[MENTION=100292]Neil1889[/MENTION] Sorry, you're right. Only Zuri to act. Rain acts with Wat.

Zuri sees the mud men form out of the muck, and shudders. With a quick flick of her wrist, she throws the dagger in her hand at one at the edge of the group, hoping to take him out quickly....

Zuri's dagger flies true, striking the centre of the amorphous mud creature. The shape implodes and resettles back within the pool with a muddy splash.

Moments later balls of mud and rock are flung at the adventurers left, right and centre and the amorphous mud shapes move to attack seemingly gliding through the thick mud of the pool floor. Mud balls crack into Wat and Sabynha's abdomens, winding them and covering them in an unnaturally thick and clinging mud which drips down and wraps about their legs. Gray nimbly ducks under the ball flung at him but is caught from behind by a powerful slam from one of the mud shapes behind him which leaves him covered with the viscous mud as well. Zuri takes a glancing blow as one of the creatures hurtles towards her and Sabynha suddenly finds herself surround and heavily beset on all sides.

OOC:

OMG ... I'm horrified. All those crits ... I'm never going to roll that high again for a year! And while I'm DMing of all times to roll high! Horrified I tell you!

When struck Wat uses Joven's power to send a backlash of energy that sends the closest mudman flying.
Wat then calls the power of Joven's Wrath to send the others to the back of the cave as well.

OOC:

@jbear, I think you forgot about the +5 thp most of us should have to start the encounter.

[sblock=Immediate Reaction]Armor of Wrath

GM:

MM1 and MM2 are hit by Thunder of Judgement and are pushed and dazed; 11 vs Fort is a miss on MM3. SO MM3 remains in L12 after Armor of Wrath reaction.

Mud Man's fortitude is 15

Neil1889 · Sep 2, 2012

Rain moves along the shore line and jumps into the mud pool with a splash next to a mud man's slimy minion. She swings her blade in an arc, striking the creature hard.

[sblock=surprise action]Charge MS2: Rain moves through square F14 and finishes in G13. To Hit = 26, including +1 to charging, +2 for Combat advantage (Gray).

Think that kills it, if it a minion.[/sblock]

jbear · Sep 2, 2012

The mud shape deforms and collapses as Rain's blade pierces its body.

GM:

ms1, ms2, ms3 and ms4 are all minions

CrimsonFlameWielder · Sep 3, 2012

Thanks to Wat and Rain, those enemies that were at Gray's back were not a threat (at least at the moment), and that left him looking for other targets. Seeing the wall of Mud Men and Mud Shapes to the south, Gray pumps his legs through the soggy terrain that threatened to suck him down until he found himself on a mount of higher ground. That was PERFECT, as it placed him at point of advantage against his foes. Like his legs, Gray pumped his arms out at the mud...things, summoning elemental winds to buffet the sloppy creatures, which caused them to ripple violently in the storm of moving air, but it seems not to do much else.

OOC:

GOD BLAST IT!!! Why is it that when I use the endworld dice roller while DMing, I'm rolling 16's through 20's... but when I'm using it as a player, I can't get a roll higher than 10!?

[sblock=Actions]
- Move: Surefooted Stride: Gray moves to J10. Until the end of Gray's next turn, when Gray is in Difficult Terrain (this is currently the case), Gray has a +2 bonus to AC and Reflex. Any any that is in Difficult Terrain grants combat advantage to Gray during this same time period.

-Standard: Steel Wind vs MS3 and MS4 misses both.

Nemesis Destiny · Sep 4, 2012

Sabynha was caught completely by surprise, and she paid the price in blood. Reeling and covered in mud, she lets out a cry of pain, and her condition leaves her unable to concentrate on the dance of blades for the moment, but she lashes out with her sword all the same, hoping to strike true against these mud creatures.

Her sword swipe caught the mudman off guard and her blade bit deep into its misshapen form. She was heartened somewhat by the efficacy of her attack, and as she withdrew her slender blade, a smile touched one corner of her mouth, obviously proud of herself. The mud creature was likewise left unprepared for the reversal, and could only clutch at the wound with a slimy appendage.

OOC:

I am assuming that a AC 17 will hit.

Also, because I hit, someone gets a +2 bonus on their attack roll usable before the end of my next turn.

Zuri unsheathes a dagger, teleports forward and plunges it into the back of one of the mudmen.
[sblock=actions]
Minor: unsheathe dagger
Move: Fey Step to J12 (I hope?)
Standard: Disheartening Strike to MM3 1d20+8=28, 1d4+5=8 ** BUT CRIT! so 9 dmg + Sneak Attack 2d6+2=4[/sblock]

OOC:
