[Adventure] The Race of the Five Horns (DM: stonegod, Judge: THB)

[stonegod]

The drow stands and rushes the Cyran guarding the mage, his cut forcing the man back. Taking the opening, Vok rushes the mage. But as he gets close, he vanishes in sparks of lighting that strike Vok all over, only to appear further away.
[CP cursed hit for 12; slid. As Vok approaches, MW uses immediate interrupt to attack with lighting and teleport away: Crits for 16 lighting damage. Vok is bloodied (23/51). CP is challenged.][sblock=Map]

OOC: sorry, didn't read carefuly enough. This applies or not dependent on enemy action(s)

"Bah, you won't get out that easily. You cannot step far enough without abandoning the fight, you know." Bellegon moves, tracking the mage.

He points his rod at the mage, calling shadows over him and then glaring at him with all the power of his fell patron behind the stare. As mage's will deflects the power, he pushes through resulting backlash and returns it again.

[pacdidj]

His fluids and rotors pumping overtime to compensate for the damage he's taken, Crush whirls around to face the mage, his eyes burning white hot with rage. The warforged advances on the wand-slinging magic-user, hewing wildly with his longsword, his attacks getting increasingly reckless as his rage and frustration rises.

Assassination! Round 3

[Spring was still taking ongoing fire damage; he saves this round]

Crush bolsters his strength then assaults the mage; the the wily caster is hit by the first strike, but dodges the second.

[Warlord's Strike hits; WPT misses]

Seeing the warforged before him, the mage scrambles back, fire returning to the tip of his wand. Heat explodes over most of the combatants.

[Explosion recharges. Shifts away and uses it: Hits Ryk, Spring, Bellegon, Vok, and Crush for 9 fire, 5 ongoing fire (se) and knocked prone.]

The cyran guarding the mage slips in beside the fallen Vok and skewers him with a telling blow.

[CP moves and attacks prone Vok with CA doing extra damage: 8pts.]

The hook nosed leader yells at her lackeys to kill lord ir'Haran. Two respond and flank him, managing to strike him twice. The leader and her construct move closer to the fight, the latter killing the last of ir'Haran's bodyguards.

[ir'Haran hit for 14 hp; last guard killed]

Lord ir'Haran attempts to retaliate, but he almost slips on a bloodslick, catching himself in the nick of time. To Rikka, he asks, If you could kindly help me here, we'll deal with this Twinrose woman.

[ir'Haran's attack misses.]

Assassination! Round 4

There are stairs to get up to the stage (which is 5' up). The line indicates a higher level in the back that is difficult terrain to get up. Pillars provide cover for those next to them; you cannot move through table.

[pathfinderq1]

[sblock= OOC] L1 should have been slid off the stage by Rikka's Savage Rend hit- did he climb back up? [/sblock]

 

[stonegod]

[sblock=OOC]Leader has a movement power that grants an attack, but you are right that it wouldn've moved him enough. So he doesn't get one of his attacks. Unfortunately, it was the first one that missed.[/sblock]

 

[pathfinderq1]

Rikka paced forward a step, her panther form moving with eerie agility. She gave a harsh grunting exhale, and the air in front of her was suddenly full of stinging, biting blackflies. While her foes were distracted, she shifted back into her elven form and stepped closer to the Lord.

[sblock= OOC]
>Move: shift to A6
>Standard: Swarming Locusts (close blast 3, including B/C/D 5/6/7- targets L1, TR, ID in that order); +9 vs. REF= 23, 13, 23 (looks like that probably hits L1 and ID, misses TR; deals 8 damage and creates a zone in the target squares until end of my next turn- enemies in the zone grant CA); rolls Roll Lookup
>Minor: Shift back out of beast form, shift to A7

[On Puget Sound]

Ryk is at the edge of consciousness. He's dizzy from blood loss, and the temptation is strong to just lie here under the table and drift off to sleep. Three things, though, impinge on his awareness. The first is Spring yowling, tangled in a burning tablecloth. The second is the realization that his own clothes are again on fire, which will probably keep him from getting any rest. The third is Crush. As the metal man smashes his foes and shouts encouragement to his allies, Ryk feels a surge of adrenaline. If a being with no heart in his chest can show such bravery, how can Ryk do less?

You! Wizard! He struggles to his feet, signaling to Spring to circle around. I don't know what your problem is He clambers up the rise to where the wizard is standing. And I don't care. With one smooth motion he draws his blade from over his shoulders and slices at his foe, as Spring bites and claws. Ryk's blade misses, but the wizard dodges straight back into Spring's attack. But it ends now. No more fire! And indeed, it does seem the fire is no longer burning on either combatant.




start of turn: Ryk and Spring take 5 fire. Ryk 7 hp, Spring 15 hp.
Move: both stand up
ACTION POINT: Move: Ryk to L8, Spring to L6.
Crush's Action point effect: Ryk heals 6, now 13 hp, and makes a save vs fire at +2. - makes it! (Does Spring also get either of these action point benefits? He does move as part of the move action, but it's not exactly his action point).

Free: drop boomerang on the floor
Free (battle harness): ready tangat
Minor: Hunter's Quarry on MW
Standard: paired predators vs MW, with +3 to damage from Crush's effect. Ryk misses, Spring hits for 17.
End of turn: Spring save vs fire - success
