4e Battle of Good vs. Evil: Ice Archon & Co. vs. Eye Of Flame & Co.

[Infiniti2000]

Bad Guys:
Yoko Oni (oni, SW): 59/68hp, injured
Jeremy Irons (ettin jack-of-irons, ex-leader, SW): 29/119hp, bloodied
Senshock (spectral magelord, AP, SW): 38/38hp, full
Kojack (bodak reaver, leader, SW): 132/175hp + 15thp, injured

Yoko Oni fails to recharge anything ( ). She tries to revive Jeremy, 16+7 succeeds. She then flies straight up 20ft.

Jeremy Irons wakes up, stands up (provoking an OA from Vin) and attacks Vin twice, 14+15 and 15+15, both hit AC+2 for 29 total damage. Vin the Annoying is teleported out as Kojack gains the benefits.

Senshock fails to recharge ( ). He stays put.

Kojack charges Ghengis, 11+1+123 hits for 12 damage plus 4 necrotic plus dazed and weakened, and of course now unconscious. Kojack does not benefit from Death Drinking.

 

[Gansk]

OOC: Yoko needs to land someplace or fall, since she didn't sustain her gaseous form. Jeremy and Kojack forgot to take -5 to all their attacks and Kojack adds 123? I know he's a mondo badass, but that's a little excessive.

All the bad guys still hit even with the -5.

Good Guys:
Clint (runecarved eidolon, leader): 39/59hp, injured, dazed, weakened, divine beacon
Penn (bulette, SW, AP): 89/94hp, injured
Ghengis (dwarf warlord, SW) -1/83hp, unconscious, dazed, weakened
Angelina (skeletal tomb guardian, SW, AP) 87/112hp, injured

Vin takes an OA before leaving, 14+17+2, hit. Jeremy takes 14+5 damage.

Round 87:

Clint tries to revive Ghengis, 11+8, stabilizes him instead. Clint misses his save (4).

Penn Bulette appears at 30N60E (large). He bites Jeremy, 16+16+2, hit. Jeremy takes 17+5 and is teleported out. Penn uses one of his AP's and charges to 45N60E, getting zapped by Kojack. 20+16+1+2-2, crit! 19+5 damage (9 real) and Kojack has -5 to his AC for 1 round.

Ghengis does not recharge ( ). He lies there and misses his save (3).

Angelina Jolie the skeletal tomb guardian appears at 60N60E (medium). She would be the perfect foil for Kojack if she was written up like all the other skeletons (resist 10 necrotic), but as an elite she has to have an extra AP and +2 to saves. She will burn an AP and make two Cascade of Steel attacks, each one granting her up to four attacks as long as she keeps hitting. Necrotic zaps will be tallied at the end of the barrage.
Attack 1: 17+16-2+2+2, hit. Min 7+5 damage.
Attack 2: 17+16-2+2+2, hit. 12+5 damage.
Attack 3: 7+16-2+2+2, miss. Next cascade.
Attack 1: 11+16-2+2+2, hits AC-5. 11+5 damage.
Attack 2: 5+16-2+2+2, miss.
Total damage is 25 to Angelina, 45 to Kojack, plus 9 more from the bulette.

OOC: I was still thinking she could hover and forgot it took a std action to maintain gaseous form. She had the movement I think to reach the top of the VZ last round.

Bad Guys:
Yoko Oni (oni, SW): 59/68hp, injured
Senshock (spectral magelord, AP, SW): 38/38hp, full
Kojack (bodak reaver, leader, SW): 78/175hp, injured

Yoko Oni fails to recharge anything ( ). She moves to 45n50e20z.

Senshock recharges ( ). He fires off a spectral dissipation on the north end, hitting Clint, Ghengis, and Angelina. Damage is 17 necrotic and -2 defenses remainder of the encounter.

Clint: 18+8 vs. Will , succeeds (even with the -5 if it applies and I don't think it does since this is not a targeted attack)
Ghengis: 5+8+2+4 vs. Will, succeeds
Angelina: 10+8, fails

Clint gets to activate his divine retribution, should he choose. By "nearest" I assume that means Kojack.

Kojack swings at Penn (if not damaged by Clint, otherwise swings at Clint), 15+1+23 (forgot the plus sign last time), hits for 10 damage plus 2 necrotic plus dazed and weakened. (Clint does not gain flanking if Penn was attacked. Clint is not weakened if he is attacked.) Kojack shifts to the southwest only if he was damaged by Clint.

OOC: I don't think it is -5 just to hit Clint, it is -5 to all attacks (like a super-prayer)! I agree that Senshock does not need to make a Wis check for an area attack. Clint would love to take his divine retribution, but dazed creatures cannot take immediate actions. I thought Kojack was at 55N60E, but apparently he is at 55N55E.

Senshock misses Ghengis with -5. Kojack still hits Penn.

Good Guys:
Clint (runecarved eidolon, leader): 22/59hp, bloodied, dazed, weakened, -2 def, div. beacon
Penn (bulette, SW): 67/94hp, injured, dazed, weakened
Ghengis (dwarf warlord, SW) -1/83hp, unconscious, dazed, weakened
Angelina (skeletal tomb guardian, SW) 77/112hp, injured

Round 88:

Clint tries to revive Ghengis, 4+8, fails. Kojack can take an OA if he beats the Wis check. Clint fails his save (5).

Penn uses his AP and bites twice, after getting zapped. 17+16+2-2, hit. Kojack takes 15+5/2 = 10 damage and has -5 to his AC for 1 round. Second attack, 3+16+2-2, miss. Penn misses his save (2+2).

Ghengis recharges everything ( ). He lies there and misses his save (8).

Angelina will try the double cascade thing again.
Attack 1: 7+16-2+2+2, miss. Next cascade.
Attack 1: 5+16-2+2+2, miss.
Total damage is 10 to Angelina, 0 to Kojack. Not as fun when you roll like crap.

 

[Infiniti2000]

OOC: All allies gain +5 on defenses essentially? No way. The -5 has to be only for the eidolon. By the way, did you hear about the paladin's challenge correction?

 

[Infiniti2000]

Kojack's wis check: 5+12 fails.

Bad Guys:
Yoko Oni (oni, SW): 59/68hp, injured
Senshock (spectral magelord, AP, SW): 38/38hp, full
Kojack (bodak reaver, leader, SW): 68/175hp, injured

Yoko Oni fails to recharge anything ( ). She moves to 35n70e (and lands) and attacks Penn with flanking, 15+17+2 hits (even if -5) for 15+4 damage (includes sneak attack).

Senshock recharges ( ). He fires off an identical spectral dissipation on the north end, hitting Clint, Ghengis, and Angelina. Damage is 10 necrotic (snake eyes) and -2 defenses remainder of the encounter.

Clint: 11+8+2 vs. Will-2, succeeds without -5, fails with -5
Ghengis: 2+8+2+4 vs. Will, fails no matter what!
Angelina: 18+8 vs. Will, succeeds even with -5

Kojack swings at Penn, 17+23+2 barely hits (even with -5) for 10 damage and 6 necrotic and Penn remains dazed and weakened.

Check this discussion. Nobody questions the fact that it is -5 to all attacks (that doesn't mean it's right).

I think a good alternative interpretation would be to limit the -5 to the eidolon, but then include it in the Wis checks to attack him. Otherwise his stats just don't add up to a level 13 monster. But since the -5 is generally only affecting the spectral magelord, who is supposed to be outclassed in this battle, let's keep going with -5 to all attacks.

 

[Gansk]

Good Guys:
Clint (runecarved eidolon, leader): 22/59hp, bloodied, dazed, weakened, -2 def, div. beacon
Penn (bulette, SW): 79/94hp, injured, dazed, weakened
Ghengis (dwarf warlord, SW) -1/83hp, unconscious
Angelina (skeletal tomb guardian, SW) 57/112hp, injured, -2 def

Round 89:

Clint tries to revive Ghengis, 3+8, fails. Kojack can take an OA if he beats the Wis check. Clint fails his save (1).

Penn uses Burrowed Refuge to heal 47 hp. Kojack no longer has -5 to AC. Penn misses his save (1+2).

Ghengis lies there and makes his save (12).

Angelina will try Twin Scimitars this time.
Attack 1: 16+16-2+2+2, hit. 13+5 damage.
Attack 2: 16+16-2+2+2, hit. 7+5 damage.
Total damage is 10 to Angelina, 30 to Kojack. She shifts to 55N60E.

Just starting a 4e trial tonight, so I'll be AFK until late tonight or tomorrow morning.

I would be interested to hear everyone's opinions. Please share.
