A Paid trip to Spellhold [IC] Chapter 3: The Prison of Horrors

[Velmont]

"Thanks Kaedyn" Cliff then turn around and feels a pang in the legs. I really need to do more exercise. he thinks as he takes his breath. He then tells to Anguish "Now we stand a chance, and we won't miss it."

Good job, Anguish, you've half killed it! One more complaint should finish it off!

"Fey Gods! Please Assist me in destroying this abomination!

 

[airwalkrr]

Anguish, looking for death in all the right places

Despite the apparent stroke of good luck, Anguish is not deterred in his pessimism, "'And then the tiefling was slain by a legless, one-armed skeleton with a shattered skull.' That's the story they'll be telling when this is over."

He holds out his rod and clutches his pact blade, readying himself for what is sure to be his final end.

Rodric the Bright

Rodric prepares himself for battle, not bothering with reassuring the fatalistic tiefling.

The creature is slow to react, and when it started moving, Chiz, Anguish, Taran and Asterion are ready to attack it.

[sblock=The Undead Abomination]

Alright, let's get this party started. Chiz, Anguish, taran and Asterion go first, feel free to move your map tokens around. Check Monster lore section to see what this baby can do. He will also create scorched areas with the eye blasts, so watch your steps!


MAP


[sblock=Special features]

Scorched areas: The remaining energy of the lightning bolt swirl about from these areas. Determining the properties of the scorched areas will need an arcane or insight check (as if identifying a monster).
Properties: Any creature that enters a scorched area rolls a 1d10, on 1-5 the remnant energy fuels your magical items or special abilities, you regain the use of an encounter power or the use of an item power of your choice. On 6-10 the remnant energy acts like a beacon creating an arc of lightning from the blue crystal, you are struck by the harmful effects of the lightning bolt.

[On Puget Sound]

What is behind us? Where is the bridge that the creature cannot cross? My inclination, if it's possible, is to retreat across that bridge and attack it from bowshot range (20+ squares away). I know that won't be very cinematic, though, and would leave some of us with no way to participate (unless they can fire ballista from the ship).

Also - does permanently prone mean permanently granting CA?

OOC: I guess permanently prone come with all the advantage. And the bridge is behind him. He followed us and that's what make him blow into parts... just too bad there is one of these part that is still able to fight. At least, it will have difficulty to move around.

 

[On Puget Sound]

The thing is flat on the ground, making it a difficult arrow shot but easier to gang up on. (prone: -2 to ranged, but grants CA; crawling grants OAs). Still, worried about the baleful presence, Chizz decides not to move in at the same time as the rest. That way i can distract it if the others are stunned, and keep us all alive, he rationalizes his reluctance. Both his shots sail over the monster into the darkness. Chizz shrugs and puts his bow away, preparing to move in and attack. Despite the fall and the confusion, he retains a keen awareness of his enemy's every move.



MINOR: hunter's quarry
STANDARD: twin strike
FREE: stow bow
MOVE: to H7
note: although the duelist's prowess stance is still active, it won't be much use this turn as Chizz has no blade in hand.
