[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5521338, member: 16069"] H2 Thunderspire Labyrinth Encounter #16 The Ruined Chapel Note this is Encounter #40 for this group of PCs Round #3 W1- DEAD. W2- DEAD. W3- Immobilised. Ready Action. W4- DEAD. W5- Ongoing 5 Fire damage (22 HP bloodied). Claw Kaspard; Hit 5 Necrotic damage (41 HP) and -1 Healing Surge (6 left) & Shift 3 squares. Save vs Ongoing Fire damage- Success. Phrenic- Scorching Burst W3; Miss & W5; Hit 6 Fire damage (16 HP bloodied). Action Point. Move. Daily Lead the Attack W5; Hit 23 damage- DEAD. Grey- Magic Missile W3; Hit 14 Force damage (20 HP bloodied). Action Point with Phrenic's Tactical Presence. Magic Missile W3; Hit 14 Force damage (6 HP bloodied). Winstanley- Move in. Readied Action W5 Claw Winstanley; Miss. Sly Flourish Combat Advantage W3; Hit 21 damage- DEAD. It had to be Winstanley to deliver the killing blow. Time to play 12 minutes. Total time to play 55 minutes. Good Guys Dirty Biskit, Male Dwarven Fighter 5 (HP58/61) Kaspard, Female Half-Elf Cleric of Bahamut 5 (HP41/46) Winstanley Portico, Male Halfling Rogue 5 (HP37/46) Grey Morlock, Male Human Wizard 5 (HP40) Phrenic, Male Tiefling Warlord 5 (HP49) Bad Guys 1000 XP Level 5 Encounter. Wight Level 5 Skirmisher [W] (x5) (HP62) 5 DEAD Action Points 2 Total 7 Daily Powers 1 Total 4 Healing Surges 0 Total 1 2nd Winds 0 Total 0 Crits 0 Total 0 PCs Ko'd 0 Total 0 Comment: And so an Extended Rest, after the chamber is fully searched- there's nothing to find, which funnily enough coincides with PCs having enough XP now for level 6. Odd that. And then the PCs start second guessing themselves, they're worried about the trail of destruction they've left behind? Forget the Extended Rest for now... So, the PCs get back up and retreat back over the bridge, which leads to yet another Skill Challenge, which doesn't go as well as the first but is 'just' a success. The PCs backtrack clear up as much of the mess as is possible, rescue the two slaves, and then do their best to make it look like the attackers came and left and were... Thain Cardanas. They do this by stealing one of the anvils from the forge (throwing in to the abyss), and then leave a note to say that Thain Cardanas has been and gone, and stolen an anvil- that should about do it. We played this out for fun, the story just got funnier and funnier, with several PCs taking a crack at writing Thain Cardanas' letter. I decide that it's a fun idea and run with it, however there's a price to be paid- aid comes to the Horned Hold, I reinforce the last bastion. I take the 2 Spined Devils from Random Encounter #8 and set them to patrol the abandoned section of the fortress and the ravine. I place a Human Berserker guard with Framath- a lobotomised ex-slave. And another Human Berserker, similarly lobotomised, is attached to the Duergar & Arbalesters. The last Human Berserker I place with the Ogre & Orcs. Finally the Tiefling Heretic is placed with Murkelmor, an emissary. The PCs obviously know nothing of this, they creep back across to the abandoned chambers- no Skill Challenge, it would be dull to do this three times, and hide up and re-lock the doors. Stats: The bad guys may have connected more than the PCs, 72.73% to the PCs 68.75%, but the bad guys made only 11 attacks (7 hits), the PCs on the other hand made 32 attacks and hit 22 times. The PCs averaging 124 HP damage/turn, the bad guys.. er 12. [Edited to include the lost Healing Surges- thanks Sebastianelgar] The bad guys managed to do 44 HP damage/turn [extra Hit Points damage= Winstanley 5 Healings Surges at 11 HP each = 55 + Dirty 2 Healing Surges at 15 HP each = 30 + Kaspard 1 Healing Surge at 11 HP = 11 = 96 extra HP damage in total- much better]. A Level 5 Encounter taken down in 3 rounds with 7 Action Points and 4 Daily Powers spent- a mess, but again another fun mess as Paul whined about his Healing Surges being stolen from him. Individual connection rates- 50% Kaspard & Phrenic 66.67% Winstanley 81.82% Grey 100% Dirty Honourable mention again goes to Grey who managed to dish out 124 HP damage in just 3 rounds, while Dirty managed 102 HP. Next time the big stats shebang for Level 5. [/QUOTE]
