Adventure: Poisoned to the Core DM: FourMonos Judge: KarinsDad

Battle Pit Cages, Round 2

The manticore, chain jingling, tries to move away from the fighting. It's human looking face glares with rage and it releases a swarm of spikes at the all too familiar, and disliked, animal trainer.

The displacer beast emits its illusion again and slashes its tentacles at Amarande and Ulvellyn.

The chimera lumbers slowly to its feet. The large beast leans into the chain, attempting to pull itself further into the room.

You all hear a clink as the winches automatically release more chain for the beasts to move.

The trainer retreats to the far side of the room.

The bugbears and ogres are drawn mesmerized to the illusionary gold.

"Wait! I don't smell gold. The gnome is tricking us. Try to fight it."

Two of the bugbears go into aggressive swinging maneuvers, but only Tondrek's doggie is hit. The third makes defensive moves with his flail, whose blows are deflected from River's magic.

The ogre, despite his warning, is unable to pull his eyes from the piles of gold.

[sblock=Adventurer's Turn Summary]
River: Longtooth Shifting, Moment of Glory pushes B4 and ogre 3 squares and knocks prone, DR5 for everyone.

Muzdum: Hits B2 for 17 damage

Tondrek: Hits B2 for 10 damage, +5 damage to allies within 2 squares. Rumbum gets infusion.

Amarande: Hits displacer beast for 34.

Rumbum: Hits B3 for 25 damage and -2 AC TENT.

Pok: Uses visions of avarice, hits all targets but used Wand of Accuracy to do so. [MENTION=82643]CaBaNa[/MENTION] the ogre is already partially into the square and would likely keep B3 out of a square if pulled further in. Let me know if you have a problem with positioning.

On your turn you can activate the cage controls to close the cage. You have to be standing next to the walls marked with an "X".

After activating the cage, the animal has to be in the caged area until the end of your next turn. If the animal leaves the cage area, the cage resets.

Skills: Arcana 25, Thievery 20

You can use either a standard action or movement action for you activation attempt.

Also! As an alternative you can activate the chain winch to pull the beast 10 feet (2 squares). Current length of chain (distance the monsters move outside of box): 20 feet. The winch will let out more chain each round. [/sblock]

"Hey uglies, I'm right here, in tha middle of all of ye, come!" taunts the dwarf, and he grins as the enemies close for the kill. He releases a hell of axes and punches over the surprised enemies!

[sblock=Actions]Move using Pass forward to avoid AoO.
Come and get it: Vs B1, B2, B3 and O Will 17, 24, 23, 29, hit all but B1 for 22 and they are all marked by Muzdum. Will trigger both this if:
Combat agility (Oportunity attack; at-will) ✦ Martial, Weapon
Trigger: An enemy adjacent to you takes an action that provokes an opportunity attack Effect: After the triggering enemy completes the action, you shift 3 squares. You must end the shift closer to the target than you were when you began the shift. Then make the following attack: +14 vs AC, (HIT) 1d12+11+2, and you knock the target prone.
Combat challenge (Imm. Interrupt; at-will) ✦ Martial, Weapon
Effect: Whenever an enemy marked by you is adjacent to you and shifts or makes an attack that does not include you, you can make a melee basic attack against that enemy: +13 vs AC, (HIT) 1d12+11+2[/sblock]

Rumbum grins as he sees the bugbears all bunched together as a result of his dwarf ally's attack. He moves forward and sweeps his axes with the intent of hitting multiple foes.

[sblock=actions]
movement: move to current location
attack: sweeping blow 1d20+17 vs B1, B2, B3 ac for 1d12+7 = 28, 8, 26 for 8 damage

no mark on any of them.

Silently the little wizard crept away from the main battle, whilst his illusion became more difficult to resist. A previously unnoticed hole in the ceiling makes a groaning noise, when an open safe drops through, tearing the fissure asunder and spilling a rack of fine weapons. Along with the other priceless items, gold coins began pouring around the feet of those in the entryway!

Pok attempts to close the cage door, while hissing at Amarande What do you think you're doing?
