Adventure: Protection (Mal Malenkirk)

[Fyrm]

I say the Dragon. He hurts us alot. as he sais this, he takes a step back and takes a breather. He then turns into a Dwarf, hoping there slightly smaller size might help him go un noticed.

OOC: Actions: Move: shift to M22 Stndard: Second Wind (<.< >.> <.< ... why not)Minor: Changeling Desquise (into a male Dwarf.) Stratagy: Next round, assuming Mercurial is still contious, He'll be drawing his dagger and using Magic Weapon on the wyrmling. That's +2 damage and +1 to hit on EACH hit. I ask that anyone planing on hitting the dragon wait till after I post, and I will try to post it ASAP.

[kristoaster]

Pushing past his allies, Dante struck out at the fire elemental, although his weapon felt drawn to the water elemental he had already pledged to hit. "Soon, blade of my heart," the githzerai whispers to his sword.

As soon as his strike rings true, the swordmaster spins an arcane ward, launching it at the hobogoblin ringleader.

OOC: Move to N23, through allies so I don't proke any OAs. Leading Strike - hit! One ally adjacent to Dante or the Fire Elemental gets +4 to damage Leading Strike (1d20+7, 1d10+4=[8, 7], [10, 4]) Aegis of Shielding on Sinruth; -2 to attack and -6 damage to one attack he makes.

 

[hafrogman]

Owen looks up as chance and the ebb and flow of the battle leave a perfectly clear corridor running through the chaos of the field. But there, hovering a little off the ground, with it's back turned. . .

A deep breath, a short, sharp burst of speed and his sword raised over his head to strike high, Owen lunges forward. His blade finds his target and cuts deeply into the scales.

OOC: Standard: Charge vs. Wyrmling @ L24 (Attack 1d20+11=23 vs. AC) Hit. Wyrmling: L24 takes 11 damage and is marked.

[ronakshah2000]

Even as the melee reaches its climax, Yishim struggles with his internal thoughts. Finally, he shakes his head and launches into oratory.

This just isn't right. Friends, who are we to judge the limits of debt collection? The moral imperative to service loans is fundamental to the financial system of our town, and yet here we are chipping away at its foundations.

Nay, I say we leave this fight, and allow the invisible hand of capitalism to create prosperity in our land.

[sblock=OOC Leaving]All, I've been invited to another adventure, and after a couple months lounging in the tavern waiting for a level 3-4 fight, really want to join. Mal has figured out an exit strategy for me (that doesn't involve Yishim's death, I hope). Great battling with you.[/sblock][sblock=Yishim Stat Block]Yishim- Male Human Wizard 3

[LogicsFate]

Whoa there, this is getting out of hand...

Caustic Rampart wears off, potential ally damage averted.

Thank you friend Gil. I am sorry to have gotten in the way of your tactics. Despite losing a few shielding drones, Queen is not lessened and the dogforged shifts its weight to bound to the west.

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

As Yishim retreats, he is by some elementals. Well, that's his problem, now. And also the janitor's.

In the back street they hear the archer who fell cursing violently.

-''Broke my ankle. Arrrgh!''

Hopefully he's gonna limp out of here.

The dragon is more persistent. He wildly rakes Owen body, nearly killing him and then gains altitude for safety. He furiousls vomits another giant lightning on the heroes that engulf Owen, Dante and the mysterious automaton. Owen falls unconscious and the automaton is destroyed.

The boss is in a killing mood but is hampered by several layers of magic at the moment and wildly misses Halcyon.

But the worst threat at this point are the archers; they launch a volley that is deadly accurate; Mikara and Sound of Stone are grievously wounded. Queen, on the other hand, barely notices that an arrow flied through her.

GM: The fight was balanced at the utmost limit of what 12 PC can handle. I actually calculated a maximum of XP to add to the fight based on each of your level, so with a level 3 pc leaving, I had to remove some opposition. Not ideal, but that's the best I can do. Hope I didn't remove too much or not enough, that's hard to gauge in mid-fight.

GM: Some of you are getting lax with the rolls... Remember, include Attack and Target. Try to detail the bonus as much as possible too. For example, Owen shouldn't roll a +11 attack bonus... He had 1d20+8+2+1 for the last attack, though. It's easier for me to track.

GM: Satus High Light Lenard, Halcyon, Queen and Aedan have CA against the boss and adjacent fire elemental (swarm of locust) Aedan is hidden from the archer shooting down at SoS.

[rb780nm]

Sound of Stone pulls out his sling and loads a bullet into it. As he builds up speed with it, he calls after Yishin "No prey for you!"

Taking careful aim at the nearest archer, Sound of Stone lets the bullet fly, hitting him in the belly, causing him some injury.

OOC: RBA on nearest archer (1d20+7=17, 1d6+5=7) 17 vs AC, 7 damage

.

As the shot flies, Sound of stone skitters backwards down a convenient alleyway, taking cover from the puishing arrows.

OOC: Move to 032 - hopefully there's some safety there...

 

[Dekana]

Lenard walks just underneath the wyrmling's grasp and closer to the tavern entrance. When he gets there, he turns and unleashes another psychic assault on the tightly clustered enemies. The fire elemental is extinguished, but none of the other thugs seem affected.

OOC: Warning: Any creature that starts their turn adjacent to the flaming sphere in O20 takes 1d4+5 damage, including allies.

[sblock=Lenard stat block/actions][sblock=actions]Move: walk to N25.

Standard: Beguiling Strands, drawn in a close 5 blast from K20 to O24. Roll.

[CaBaNa]

Moving into position, Gil loudly begins casting his spell, for effect he speaks in draconic, [sblock=draconic] Stalking Darkness, Vengeful Darkness, Reaping Darkness, I'm conjuring the darkness! [/sblock]


Similar to Yishim's display, tendrils of inky black shadow creep into existence, globular masses of black viscous goo begin forming like clouds around the dragon. The fog thickens until the archers are included, and the balls of goo burst into sharp needles piercing the archers and dragon! Stay out of the nastiness, it has a mind of it's own... comments Gil to the tavern patrons. That guy doesn't look so good, does anyone know first aid? the wizard points to the unconscious Owen, and makes scissor and paper motions in the air.

[sblock=OOC]
