Sharpe is right about the dragon, vouches Kamotz Didn't smell right. The city needed a good fire drill anyway.

Haven't been this organized since Morvannon and Magnus lead the way to my first undead that comes back. That was before I made the pledge to Lauto... Kamotz reflects for a moment before continuing I can make lots of noise! barks the enthusiastic shifter I can bash our shields. We can howl. Whiggins can even stomp. nodding as he imparts his expert wisdom, the shifter is all smiles.

2. Everyone else place icons anywhere at column F or to the left on the map

3. If you beat a 19, go for it.

4. Enemy stats are posted when monsters perform their actions

The idea was that he remained hidden until we busted in...

ooc: got it. Hidden he is then. No surprise round for Dox. I'll make corrections on the previous post.

Done

[sblock=A guide to Prime's out of turn actions]
With all the immediate action Prime is gathering, he’s becoming a complex character to have in pbp. In order to reduce the amount of retconning, do not hesitate to use one of these actions at the first chance it could be reasonably useful, in the following order of priority. Notice that many though not all are immediate actions and are mutually exclusive (you can take only one immediate action per round):

Blurred Step (Battlemind feature, at will). Prime can, once per turn as a free action, shift 1 when an adjacent marked enemy shifts. Use this along with Combat Challenge for maximum benefit.
Combat Challenge (fighter feature, at will, immediate interrupt), a MBA he can make against a Marked enemy who shifts or makes an attack that doesn’t include Prime. Notice that he can push enemies up to 3 squares with this attack: since combat challenge is an interrupt, this has the potential to completely negate an attack if it pushes the enemy beyond melee range. Otherwise use the push to disrupt the enemy strategy as much as possible.
Guardian’s counter (Encounter power, immediate interrupt), If an ally within 2 is being hit but the attack wouldn’t hit Prime or the damage to the ally would be severe. Prime exchanges positions with an ally within 2 squares, becomes the target of the attack and can retaliate with a MBA.
Fully augmented Lightning Rush (using 2 power points, immediate interrupt): Same case as guardian's counter, when guardian's Counter can't be used. Prime can move 5 squares, becomes the target of the attack, and deals a +13 VS AC, 2d10+8 damage attack.
Shield Edge Block (Encounter power, immediate interrupt), when he’s hit by a melee or close attack and a -4 penalty to hit would make the attack fail.
Unbreakable (Encounter power, immediate interrupt), if hit by an attack that can't be negated by Shield Edge Block that deals 11 or more damage (he’d negate 10 with the power -which isn’t described as damage reduction-, then 1 from armor property)

If you roll any attack granted by any of these actions, don't forget Prime's Warforged Tactics feat: +1 to hit enemies adjacent to at least one ally.

Running full out at incredible pace, young monk stops digging his heels in the graveyard dirt.

"Is it too late to join the party? I had to check the dragon, I am of the Order of the Dragon after all." he says with a smile.
"Undead are to be destroyed! Are we in yet? Prime, I'll get the priest nearer to the guards at the gates. I don't think we can afford to leave cultists flinging spells at us while we deal with the orb. I'm sure Vermitrax can delay the undead with his powers, eh, necromancer?"

OOC: Sorry all, I got sidetracked by travel, waited for Voda Vosa's first post, forgetting that I didn't subscribe...then simply forgot to check :/
