[jsb420]

GM: [MENTION=85506]Darksteed[/MENTION]: it took me a while but Ixen double moved then charged to get close enough to attack (convert standard>move)

 

[treex]

Jesse's focus shattered as he summoned shadows to tie down the Dead One. The shadows licked harmlessly
at it's undead skin. The tiefling redoubled it's efforts to try and grab something else with the shadows, but there were no other targets.

Round 3[/sblock]

Finnean slips his rapier into the back of the flanked zombie, hoping it's hunger will towards a badly wounded Ixenvalignant will provide a momentary distraction. The tip of the blade manages to narrowly slide between the zombies vertebra, severing it's spinal cord. The zombie, unable to control its limbs collapses to the ground. Finnean rushes past the other zombie in order to help Cyrus. The zombie scratches Finnean on the shoulder as he runs past, but does not cause significant injury. Closer to Cyrus, Finnean focuses his psychic energy into his aura helping cure some of his wounds. (CRIT & takes OA – HIT)

GM: Damien (NPC’d) Move: i18>O18 Standard: Disruptive Shot against Deathlock Wight (AA17): 1d20+8=17, 2d6+4=12 MISS for 6 damage and Deathlock wight is slowed TENT (Damien) -Action Point- Standard: Clever Shot against Deathlock wight (AC 18): +8 vs. AC; 2d6+4 damage and knocked prone: 1d20+8=21, 2d6+4=12 HIT for 12 damage and Deathlock wight is knocked prone. Deathlock Wight takes 18 damage and is slowed TENT (Damien) and prone

Cyrus gets blindsided by the re-risen zombie off to his side. He grunts and snarls in pain as the zombie slams into him hard. He rolls off to his side and springs back to his feet before glaring down at the fallen wight. He lunges forwards and pounces upon his fallen prey, slashing downwards upon it with his blade. (MISS)

Seeing the foe in front of him drop, and his Cyrus far ahead, by himself, Ixenvalignat decides to lend the khan some help, "I'm on my way Cyrus!" The dragonborn attempts to generate an imposing visage as he bounds across the beach, but only, barely manages to reach is target, "Con.. *huff* ...founded... *puff* ...sand!" Out of breath, his sword glances uselessly off the zombie in front of him. Some distance away, the Weight, though knocked down by Cyrus' attack, erupts into an uncontrollable fit of laughter at the dragonborn's ineptitude. (Dragon Fear: hit & miss; MISS)

Jesse's focus shattered as he summoned shadows to tie down the Dead One. The shadows licked harmlessly at its undead skin. The tiefling redoubled its efforts to try and grab something else with the shadows, but there were no other targets. (MISS)

One zombie sees Damien near it, so it lashes out at him. The other zombie engages the dragonborn in front of it. (MISS & GRAB)

The wight reels under the barrage of the hero’s attacks. It stands and strikes at Cyrus. (MISS)

Finnean decides that Ixen needs his help more than Cyrus. He tumbles past the zombie, narrowly ducking under its backhand swipe. He focuses his psychic attack through his blade, but has trouble piercing the mind of the walking dead.

OOC: Sorry. I was waiting for everybody else myself. Summary: Ixenvalignat is free from Dead One 4 Ixenvalignat is at 19hp The broad side of that barn still seems to elude him. This guy is definitely a candidate for an overhaul If the target shifts before the start of Ixenvalignat's next turn, it provokes an opportunity attack from Finnean.

 

[Darksteed]

*Cyrus growing in frustration at continuously missing his prey growls lowly. With quick feet he dances about the wight hoping to confuse it enough to get his strike in. When the time is right he lunges forwards once again and lashes out at the Wight with his dagger.*

OOC: Sorry SoM. Didn't see your comment until after I posted my IW. Still think I did the right thing, Ixenvalignat wouldn't likely have survived a hit.

When you escape a grab, you can shift.

[sblock=Escape]ESCAPE: MOVE ACTION

Acrobatics or Athletics: Make an Acrobatics check vs. Reflex or an Athletics check vs. Fortitude against
the creature or effect that immobilized you.

Check: Resolve your check.
Success: You end the grab and can shift as part of this move action.
Failure: You’re still grabbed.[/sblock]

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

When you escape a grab, you can shift.

OOC: Dang. I didn't realize that you had moved adjacent to Dead One 4, nor did I realize that you could shift as part of a grab. If I had realized that, I would have used Viper's strike to keep the guy from moving. @jsb420 . Can I retcon my move. #1, to get adjacent to Finnean for thp, #2 to change MBA to Viper's strike. I did not realize that Finnean was adjacent to my enemy. I've already edited my post, but I'll put it back if you disapprove.

 

[Son of Meepo]

OOC: Maybe we should consider using a tool like Ditzie for our maps. I've found it very helpful in the games I run.

 

[jsb420]

GM: [MENTION=79440]H.M.Gimlord[/MENTION]: no problem, retro away [MENTION=78756]Son of Meepo[/MENTION]: very cool program. I've read some of your adventure and even logged onto Ditzie. Unfortunately, I've already made all my maps and icons and everything. Maybe the next adventure you start (or the next one I start)! I might PM you on some pointers. I'm not sure if I'm doing some things correctly (issues making maps - and yes I've looked at your collection) We're looking for treex's post
