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

[On Puget Sound]

Don't give it any suggestions, Cliff! Drawing his blades, Chizz rushes the creature. As he hits it, bright sparks from his enchanted bracers run down his blade and race along the skeleton's bones, stopping at weak spots to show Chizz's allies where best to hit.

OOC: Holidays have been crazy busy for me at work (I currently work at an airport), but things are starting to slow down. I will get back to a regular posting schedule soon.

Asterion climbs to his feet, quickly tracing a rune that lends healing to Taran and energizes the group's weaponry. He then launches a quick attack, designed to weaken the monster's defenses.

OOC: Everyone note: you are at +1 hit from Bless and +1 hit from Asterion standing next to the abomination. You are at +2 power bonus to damage and the creature is vulnerable 2 all damage until the end of Asterion's next turn.

[sblock=Mechanics]Note: the abomination is vulnerable 5 to the next attack that hits it. Asterion is +3 to damage against the abomination thanks to his Wrathful Hammer class feature.

Move: stand up
Minor: Rune of Mending on Taran, Taran heals a surge, everyone gains a +2 power bonus to damage until the end of Asterion's next turn.
Standard: Rune of Diminishment on the abomination, on a hit the creature is vulnerable 2 all damage (and vulnerable 5 to OA's) until the end of Asterion's next turn. edit: not sure how I got two damage rolls there. Should have been +15 damage (5 base, 5 for vulnerability, 3 for Wrathful Hammer, 2 power bonus from Rune of Mending), so that's 22 total damage.[/sblock]

OOC: AFAIK, this is a new encounter, so the bless effect should have ended by now.
