[Adventure] The Cannith Caper (Judge: THB)

[renau1g]

Haltor and White-Eye send Alex flying, leaving the arcanist lying on the ground, eyes closed.

Braddock swaps his harmful effect to the wraith.

"Thank you for the room to work" Haestus calls out as he reaches into the forge and pulls a pair of flaming spheres that slam into the halfling and his mount, sending them next to Braddock.

"Now, finish that one off!" Haestus shouts, as Vistrathis charges forward and slashes at the warlord, nearly dropping the halfling in his saddle.

OOC: If using AP, you can choose to use this feature if you attack. If you hit, you may make a basic attack or move. If you fail, you grant CA TENT.

The old halfling coughs heavily as the gith cuts him deep. You will be released, friend. We shall see the fields on the other side of sunset. Passing away from Vistrathis, Haltor bears down on the spirit once agian. But his own frailty curses him, and he twists his ankle in the saddle, leaving himself open. White-Eye slices into the spirit, but halfling's swing goes far wide. He stares down at the spirit.

Deimos Vrago, Tiefling Wizard (Mage)

Deimos continues his hasty movements, finding some new strength in himself. Not risking another vain attack, he conjures a small ball of hellish flame that unerringly hits the forge wraith.

[renau1g]

OOC: WD - you taking advantage of Haltor's AP benefit?

 

[stonegod]

OOC: It'd allow you another MM vs. Haestus ( as the previous MM hit ).

 

[Walking Dad]

OOC: Does it really hit by the rules, as I didn't roll an attack? If yes, I will certainly do another MM.

 

[FourMonos]

Braddock steps back from the Githyanki, focusing on the more dangerous wraith. He takes a moment to steady himself, then points his craghammer at the wraith.

"Keep it up lads!"

Eldritch green energy radiates from the craghammer and the dwarf's eyes, the wraith writhing under the wrenching onslaught.

"And THAT is why ye bring the dwarf!"

[sblock=actions]
ooc: I am not one to second guess anyone's math, but I did 34 with last attack? 34/2=17. He had 31 HP before my last round, so shouldn't Haestus have been 14 HP before Haltor's charge?

[sblock=Magic Missile Hit?]
Found this:

Rules Compendium p214 defines attacks and tells us to "Compare the attack's roll to the target's defense. ... If the result is equal to the specified defense or higher, the attack hits the target", and on p215 notes that some powers do not require attack roles. "Such powers automatically deal damage, impose conditions, or harm enemies in some other way."

Rules Compendium p222 defines damage, and tells us two things: "Each attack specifies how much damage it deals, if any, and under what circumstances: on a hit, on a miss, or automatically.

Rules Compendium p311 defines effect (and unfortunately there is no definition that I can find of "hit"), where it tells us: "In an attack power, the effects of such an entry [the effect line] are not contingent on a hit or a miss.

Magic Missile deals damage as via the effect line of the power, and never requires the caster make an attack roll, meaning that the p214 conditions for a hit are never met. The wording on p215 could use the word hit, but does not, indicating to me that the power damages without hitting. The wording on p222 and p311 both allow for an attack damaging without hitting, and thus do not introduce contradictions.

In summary, it would appear to me that Magic Missile does not hit the target, and so does not trigged on hit effects. Likewise it does not miss the target, and so does not trigger on miss effects either.

[renau1g]

Haltor, White-Eye and Braddock combine to overwhelm the wraith, Haestus' face contorts in pain and confusion as white lines dance across his body, pieces of the wraith fall off and dissipate into smoke before disappearing into the ether. "Noooo......" he shouts but his words cannot stop the inevitable. As it disappears a ring clatters to the ground, emblazoned with the symbol of House Cannith.

Only the gith remains standing.

It stares coldly at Haltor, following the last orders he received. In a flash the githyanki is upon the halfling and hits deadly blade catches Haltor in the torso, leaving the warlord slumped and bleeding in his saddle.

[sblock=History DC 10]
This ring is in all liklihood a signet ring for House Cannith, a very valuable item either to return to the House or on the black market...[/sblock]
