Comment: And that was a toughie, the PCs having to go all out to chase down the fleeing enemies- they only just got to Framath, one more turn and the Duergar Theurge would have been in to Murkelmor's chamber, and the encounter would have rolled on.

Grey is very busy- helping out ten of the twelve slaves the PCs came looking for, they quickly learn that the last two slaves were sold to a bunch of Gnolls, also located somewhere within the Labyrinth- the PCs are genuinely dismayed, they thought this was the end. I don't mean to say that they are unhappy at the prospect, it's just that they had thought that the Grey Dwarves were the big bad guys for this scenario.

They're also aware that they have yet to meet the master of the Duergar.

The slaves are quickly taken away- back to the crypt, given food and a little healing- weapons to defend themselves should the need arise, the PCs however have some unfinished business, and they know which door they need to open next.

Stats: PCs connection rate was up at 67.92%, while the bad guys trailed with 53.66%- it needs to be said that for a good part of the encounter the bad guys had made more attacks than the PCs, Framath's area effects targeting multiple PCs. Towards the end however the PCs pulled ahead, and made 53 attacks to the bad guys 41.

Individual PC connection rates-
Kaspard 50%
Winstanley 69.23%
Phrenic 72.73%
Dirty 75%
Grey 77.78%

Note Grey used his Magic Missile throughout the encounter- this due to the fact that for some reason he played it all very conservatively, the bad guys were scattered but Grey chose to stay away from the fight, as far away as possible. He spent most of the encounter standing some 12 or so squares away from the action...

PC damage 44.25 HP/round on average against the bad guys 14.45.

Note only one Action Point got spent, although the PCs did need to use two Daily Powers.

And so Session 4 is over, just over five hours long- although some time was spent sorting out the PCs level 6 characters, three combats, the last of which weighing in at over 2 hours.

Comment: Well, I guess that's what happens when these guys get a surprise round and land more or less everything, including a pair of Daily powers- quite frankly I thing it's over already. Remember there's a pair of the bad guys also Dazed, including the boss, a nice Necrotic Zone set up and the Theurge is gonna be dead soon.

Round #1.

Winstanley- Move. First Strike Sly Flourish Combat Advantage Murkelmor; Hit 22 damage (93 HP).

Kaspard- Move in to doorway. Daunting Light DT; Hit 23 Radiant damage- DEAD.

That's the Duergar Theurge down, and see Kaspard moving in to the room's doorway- that's part of a plan, I didn't know it at the time but the buggers have had a chat between games- they actually have a plan.

TH- Dazed & Grasp of the Grave Zone 5 Necrotic damage (44 HP). Dagger Winstanley; Hit 7 damage (44 HP).

There really was little else he could do.

Grey- Move in to doorway- exit blocked. Magic Missile TH; Hit 11 Force damage (33 HP).

Phrenic- Move. Steel Monsoon DST1; Miss.

DST1- Warhammer Phrenic; Miss.

DST2- Charge Dirty & Move in to Grasp of Grave Zone Necrotic 5 damage (85 HP)- Charge Warhammer Dirty; Miss.

Murkelmor- Grasp of the Grave Zone 5 Necrotic damage (88 HP). Fearsome Smite Dirty; Hit 11 Fire damage -5 (Resist) = 6 damage (61 HP) and Pushed back 1 Square and Murkelmor follows up. Action Point. Fiery Smite Dirty; Hit 18 Fire damage -5 (Resist) = 13 damage (48 HP) and 5 Ongoing Fire damage and knocked Prone (failed Save). Heal with Fire Self (113 HP) & anyone attacks him takes 5 Fire damage.

And yes, Murkelmor should have been Dazed- some how I forgot and the players didn't notice, I promise I wasn't cheating, it just happens sometimes.

Dirty- 5 Ongoing Fire damage -5 (Resist) = 0 damage. Stand. Crushing Blow Murkelmore; Miss and Marked & Dirty takes 5 Fire damage -5 (Resist) = 0 damage. 2nd Wind (65 HP). Action Point with Phrenic's Tactical Presence. Daily Brute Strike Murkelmor; Hit 28 damage (85 HP) and Marked. Save vs Ongoing Fire damage- Success.

And Dirty (Dave) is all out to take Murkelmor down, he didn't bat an eyelid when his Crushing Blow missed, he just ploughed right on with the Action Point- Daily combo.

DT- DEAD.

Time to play 17 minutes.

Comment: And Murkelmor is bloodied, however one of the Duergar Shock Troopers has made it in to the doorway- we're no where near finished yet, you'll see.

DST2 is staying by Murkelmor's side.

Murkelmor- Grasp of the Grave Zone 5 Necrotic damage (46 HP bloodied). Fearsome Smite Dirty; Hit 13 Fire damage -5 (Resist) = 8 damage (40 HP) & Pushed back 1 Square. Heal with Fire Recharge- Fail.

Winstanley- Sly Flourish DST1; Miss. Move.

Kaspard- Shift back. Lance of Faith DST1; Miss.

The PCs plan here was to take down DST1 quickly- that didn't work.

TH- Balefire Kaspard; Hit 7 Fire damage (42 HP) & Ongoing 5 Fire damage.

Grey- Shift back. Ray of Frost DST1; Miss.

Oopsie- it's all going wrong.

Phrenic- Viper Strike DST1; Miss. Shift back.

Oh dear, oh dear.

DST1- Move out of chamber and to door opposite. Phrenic AoO Longsword DST1; Hit 8 damage (5 HP bloodied). DST1 hammers on door the door loud enough to wake the dead. Pushes door open and screams to those within.

DST2- Charge Phrenic; Miss.

Murkelmor- Fearsome Smite Dirty; Hit 14 Fire damage -5 (Resist) = 9 damage -4 (Unbreakable) = 5 damage (45 HP) Pushed back 1 Square and into Slave Pit (Fail Save)- Acrobatics check and no damage. Heal with Fire Recharge- Fail. Move, screaming 'PROTECT ME' to DST1 & 2.

I rule there's a 50% chance that the Slave Pit has still got a ladder leading down in to it- and... it has.
