[Adventure]: The Bane of the Black Dragon (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

[Someone]

OOC: Zharne up. New baddies are placed on the map. if Drew and Prime want to change their readied actions based on the locations of the enemies they may do so. I'll have new monster stats up later tonight.

OOC: I won't change Prime's actions. Even if I could charge in, and I doubt I can having in mind the movement rules, doing so would stretch the group too much

 

[Ozymandias79]

Zharne moves besides Gellan and then the elf gazes further into the cave, raises his hand and hisses something unutterable and cold winds strikes a goblin mage and a hobgoblin guard

[sblock=Action Details]
Move Action:move to Q8
Standard Action:chill wind center on U16(hits fort 23 on GM1 & fort 28 on HG4. the damage is 7 and they are slid 1 square HG4 to S18 and GM1 to U15)
Minor Action:N/A

[dimsdale]

ooc: Sorry for the delay

As the ogre goes down some of the remaining goblin type guards prepare to charge. However, the spellcaster, shaking off the effects of Zharne's magic, yells out in frustration to them. The guards quickly retreat to the mage and turn to face the party.

[sblock=goblin]
Come back to me idiots! Can't you see that they just killed the protector! <sigh> If it wasn't for me you'd all be dead! Protect me as I blast them with thunder!
[/sblock]

As the guards step in to a protective stance, the mage behind them attacks with a blast of thunder that roars through Zharne, Gellan and Zharne, all three in addition to taking damage, feel somewhat shell shocked. The mage laughs at them as he begins preparations for his next attack, feeling totally confident that his guards will protect him.

ooc: Round 5 begins now...

 

[Someone]

Prime releases some steam, urging the others to stay back, and tries to move. It turns out that a piece of metal is blocking the movement of his legs. With some effort, he sets it straight and gets ready for the incoming goblins.

[sblock=actions]
Before turn: Prime's hit for 9 damage, reduced to 8 thanks to armor, which kills his 4 temporary health and deal 4 total damage. Now at 40/58 HP.
Standard action: Second wind to recover 14 HP and gain +2 to all defenses.
end of turn: Successfully save against Daze.
[/sblock]

OOC: Prime can't charge given the rules for movement while charging and moving around corners, and if I charged and failed the save I could not make attacks of opportunity. I think it's better if we stay back for a turn and force the fighters to get close; that'd allow Sharpe and Vermitrax the chance to move into position

[sblock=mini-stats] Prime Warforged Fighter 5
[sblock=Things to remember]

• Prime has damage reduction 1 against all damage
• When an enemy marked by Prime makes an attack that doesn’t include him, he can make an Immediate Interrupt to make a Melee Basic Attack against him. If the attack connects, he can push the target up to 3 squares; since interrupts happen before the action that provoked them, pushing an enemy that attacks an ally beyond reach can potentially negate the attack altogether. Notice also that this attack isn’t an opportunity attack
• Prime has a +2 bonus to hit with Opportunity attacks and if they hit they stop enemies if a move provoked the attack. They can resume moving using other actions.

Trigguers:
Shield Edge Block when the -4 to the enemy’s roll can negate the attack
Guardian’s Counter when an ally within 2 squares is attacked, especially if the swap would negate the attack (it hit the ally’s defense, but is not high enough to hit Prime’s)

[RedBeardJim]

OOC: dimsdale, are the Hobgoblin Fighters the same stats as the Hobgoblin Guards were?

 

[Luinnar]

OOC: What is the dimensions of the cave? I need to know if I can fly around in it with the dragon

 

[MetaVoid]

OOC: Prime can't charge given the rules for movement while charging and moving around corners, and if I charged and failed the save I could not make attacks of opportunity. I think it's better if we stay back for a turn and force the fighters to get close; that'd allow Sharpe and Vermitrax the chance to move into position

I disagree. They will simply pelt you with more dazing attacks. I can attack both mages and maybe even kill one or two while attacking two guards...Prime can come to the rescue. Gellan can charge for sure and I think Zharne has a line to HF1.

I will wait for 24 hours to see what others think. Please leave T14 free and everyone nicely gathered for Eternal Mountain ( 2d8+6 damage and target falls prone)

 

[Someone]

I disagree. They will simply pelt you with more dazing attacks.

OOC: I wish they did, it was an encounter power and now the other mage has to roll a 14 to hit Prime with it

 

[Voda Vosa]

Vermitrax moves near the cave entrance. "Retreat, clowns; you are easy targets in that confined space, even for the pathetic excuse of magic that these inferior critters can mumble!" the "necromancer" urges.

OOC: Vermitrax double moves. I suggest you guys move out of the cave until the goblins peek out.
