[Adventure] Scratching the Surface (Judge: Stonegod)

[pacdidj]

"Ha, yes indeed Tavishny! Be careful in there. Wouldn't want your fleshy bits to become barbecue!," Crush calls out to Ryk. His jovial tone betraying just a hint of false bravado.

OOC: Just a quick note to say I'm back from vacation, and I'll be able to run Crush's next turn. Looks like I missed one last round . Hopefully it won't set us back too far for healing.

OOC: You posted a turn for Crush before you went on vacation. It was before your turn came up, but the results still counted. Your turn will be coming soon. Just need Varis' turn and then a few enemies get to go.

Varis d'Lyrandar , Half-Elf Bard 6

Varis steps closer, starting to sing a short ballad about a group struggling to help survivors while being attacked. The refrain hits the nearby enemies like thunder!

[sblock=OOC (includes wishlist)]

Wishlist:
Level 2 Eberron dragonshard of lightning
upgrades to +2 for current sword and armor.

sorry, bad connection, so I had some trouble using the map and status page. Please re-check!

move: shift left
minor: Song of Conquest
Until the end of your next turn, any ally within 5 squares of you who hits an enemy gains 6 temporary hit points.
free: change damage to back to regular
standard: Shout of Triumph

Could I leave the decision to use the slide of the power to the other players? No push.

Immediate action: when any ally within 5 squares of you reduces an enemy to 0 hit points or bloodies an enemy, you can grant 4 temporary hit points to that ally as a free action.

Tempests

The slightly injured tempest moves into position flanking Karananak.

"Flee my brother, I shall cover you!"

Using his power over water, the tempest brings his blade to bear against the Wilden, but it passes harmlessly through his shifting form. The other tempest carefully moves away from most of the heroes, then tries to run for it, but Karananak cuts off his escape and takes him down with furious feasting.

Tempest 2 is defeated.

Acid Genasi

The acid genasi cautiously shift back and fires a bolt of water at Riaan, but the shot flies wide.

any luck getting the orc in the burning hut to move?

 

[Son of Meepo]

any luck getting the orc in the burning hut to move?

The hut was not completely on fire (I just didn't have a good way to differentiate that from the initial huts that were completely engulfed, so Ryk only took 5 fire damage, not 10).

THIS MAP uses red circles to denote huts completely engulfed.

Since you're right up there to help shield him from the flames, it's an easy (DC 11) diplomacy check to coax him to move with that minor action.

[sblock=Getting an orc out of danger]
Format: Skill - Action - DC

Diplomacy/Intimidate - Minor - 11 (in hut) or 16 (next to hut)
Athletics - Move - 23 (grab orc and move with him)
Athletics - Standard - 16 (grapple orc, separate action to move)
Endurance - Minor - 16 (shield orc from flames, 5 fire damage, separate action to move)

Heal - Standard - 16 (Treat an orc that has been burned to keep them alive)[/sblock]

 

[On Puget Sound]

Let's go! It's not getting any cooler.

The panicked orc half climbs, half slides down the ladder.

note: gave myself back the 5 hp in status.

Riaan finally seems to get the hang of things and his blade stabs outward into the enemy's chest in front of him. With a sneer, the swordsman pulls the corpse towards him as he kicks the body to the ground.
