[Adventure] Dungeons and Them (DM:johnmeier1, judge:????)

[Iron Sky]

OOC: I just read the Bravura Presence feature and it says something completely different than I thought it did. I thought it was: 1) Spend an AP 2) Get a free MBA 3) Grant CA if the MBA misses In fact it's: 1) Spend an AP 2) Get a standard action from your AP and attack with it 3) If that attack hits, get a free MBA 4) If the standard-action attack misses(not the free MBA), grant CA Hence the confusion. I guess 6 misses and 1 hit for 50 damage isn't terrible. Reminds me of my high-paragon stormwarden. He'd walk up to a monster and do 28 damage if he missed with his Twin Strikes...

OOC: Bump for pacdidj, just wanted to allow everyone to go. No need to rush the Finale!

Unable to maintain the fey glamour for long, Mab flickers back into the dragon's field of vision, just as it is brought low by Draglin's onslaught. "Now do you see, you greeble-grubbing brute? We have the blessings of the Seelie court, and our fury is lethal!," the old woman taunts, unleashing a barrage of flying blades that further flay the flesh from the fanged fiend.

"Resistance is futile," the wily crone adds, "you can't hope to fight a foe that can be everywhere and nowhere at once! After all, I'm not even really here," she says darting into hiding behind a rock.

OOC: FWIW, Dragon is in Jonathan's zone, so it is granting CA to all of us ATM

 

[pacdidj]

OOC: Saw that, but I wanted to cover next turn as well. I'm only realizing now that to effectively use a hide-n-strike tactic, Mab really should have deft strike as an at-will, otherwise CA is not so easy to get for a cunning sneak. Oh well, that's what I get for not reading the char op boards I guess. EDIT: Nevermind. Rereading the text, I see you can move and sustain the zone, so if johnmeier1 is okay with it I'm going to re-do my standard action above.

 

[johnmeier1]

OOC: Still looks blank to me so far, go ahead and redo posts pacdidj

OOC: Rules question: Devinihm has the Wall of Thorns daily power, which has mechanics for being 'inside' and moving through the wall, meaning that a creature can ostensibly occupy the same space as the wall. Can he then summon the wall directly into occupied squares, or does he have to summon it into unoccupied space?

OOC: Rules question: Devinihm has the Wall of Thorns daily power, which has mechanics for being 'inside' and moving through the wall, meaning that a creature can ostensibly occupy the same space as the wall. Can he then summon the wall directly into occupied squares, or does he have to summon it into unoccupied space?

OOC: "A solid wall, such as a wall of ice, cannot be created in occupied squares" and based on the power description if creatures can enter the wall's space or start their turn there, you can create it in their space.

 

[pacdidj]

OOC: Turn updated above.

Devinihm moves to a position where he can see the Dragon, and points his staff, howling to summon one of the ghostly wolves he commands. The creature's jaws clamp shut on the dragon's forward leg, and with supernatural skill it pulls the dragon off its feet. Even as it falls, Devinihm is engulfed with the otherworldly light of his ancestors, slipping through the glowing portal to appear closer to his toad. As he does so, Dante's eyes glow briefly with the same light. The toad, left to its own devices, lashes out again, but again fails to connect.

Jonathan runs into place. With a clear line to the dragon, he holds his spear directly in front of his face and motions forcefully forward while at the same time making an almost imperceptibly high screech. In an instant, the area is filled with swarming bats. Jonathan directs them toward the dragon, hoping to hinder this most formidable of foes.

While in the grasp of the mighty dragon the warlord plunges his weapon into the beast, all the way to the hilt. The dragon roars in pain and loosens his grip on Max. which allows him to break free of the his grasp. The warlord stabs at the dragon again, but misses.

Dante's kama-chain flickers faster than the eye can follow, bouncing off each of the hardest parts of the dragon then finally finding one weak spot. "Don't go for those 6 places," Dante says, checking his kama to see if they are bent or something.

I AM NOT LIKE YOU! Draglin shouts. I'LL NEVER BE LIKE YOU! I AM BRAVE AND JUST AND HONORABLE! AND THOU ARE A SCALY FIEND WHO DESERVES TO FACE MY WRAITH! he shouts his eyes glowing a deep blue. His swords flash in the torchlight as he prepares himself for what could be his final act. His blades flash in a flurry of attacks aimed at the dragon. A thousand cuts, a thousand slashes, and thousands blows land on the dragon. Each one delivering more pain than the last. In seconds he lacerates the dragon's entire body with dozens of cuts, each one striking a vital area. COME GET SOME MORE! the fighter shouts. I AM READY TO DIE FOR MY HONOR!

After a pummeling the dragon roars in defiance. The blood runs from numerous cuts about its neck, face and the arm that grasps Draglin. It opens its mouth in a defensive measure, incinerating the toad and burning all others nearby except for Max.

Unable to maintain the fey glamour for long, Mab flickers back into the dragon's field of vision, just as it is brought low by Draglin's onslaught. "Now do you see, you greeble-grubbing brute? We have the blessings of the Seelie court, and our fury is lethal!," the old woman taunts, unleashing a barrage of flying blades that further flay the flesh from the fanged fiend. "Resistance is futile," the wily crone adds, "you can't hope to fight a foe that can be everywhere and nowhere at once! After all, I'm not even really here," she says darting into hiding behind a rock.

The dragon lashes out instinctively, slamming the claw holding Draglin to the ground. When it lifts up the claw the fighter remains on the ground bleeding out. It swipes at Dante with the other claw but the ranger ducks easily. So you are not mere mercenaries, but true heroes. I will not die here today! roars the dragon before standing and challenging Dante again but only landing one hit. It flies up out of the cloud of bats towards the exit and as it goes by Max lashes out with his longsword but misses.

[sblock=mechanics] Wow, dragon is on his last legs already. I better make this count.
Instinctive assault - Dragon will use claw on Draglin HIT and Dante MISS, Draglin is now dying at -11hp
Recharge YES and ongoing damage 5
Move: Stand up
Standard: Claws on Dante HIT and MISS
AP: Fly to new location (EDIT, provokes AoO from Max, not Dante)

Draglin needs to make his death save first, Jonathan had "higher" initiative than him. Dante and Mab tied him at 18
