Trapped in Hell's Basement (DM: Mal Malenkirk Judge:Covaithe)

[renau1g]

Ashir stands up but is still a bit shaken up from the assault and struggles to maintain his focus as the battle rages on. His latest blast of flames misses the warforged and he sighs as he quaffs the potion and feels rejuvenated, tossing the empty vial back down the hall.

Raiko can hear the words of the humans in his mind, ringing through and through. He has little time to reflect on how much sway they hold, for even as he feels his body healing he is pressed by the guard.

The words of Max proves distraction enough for an opening and Raiko cuts the man deep, filling his wounds with radiant light.

[sblock=Actions]Raiko will spend the surge, which puts him back up to full health.
Minor: Divine Challenge on the Guard
Standard: Holy Strike 22 vs AC, 18 radiant damage. I believe that leaves him with 3 hp.

The monk smiled.
"Finally you have proved your worth. I will end this test now." with a sapping movement of his hand, the familiar vapor concentrates in it quickly, and he let fly a small blob of green glowing liquid, not bigger than a bean. Sheng turned and shot another to the archer, but this time his aim goes wide. The snake monk slithers behind a wall for cover.
The small sphere of acid hit the guard in the head, and began to eat away skin, bone, and finally brain as the guard desperately tries to rub it away, only worsening the situation, as his own hands are attacked by the viscous substance. Within a few seconds and with his head half melted away, the guard falls dead to the ground, the deadly wound smoking green gas.

Hit Gard for 18 Roll Lookup AP:Misses archer http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2447816/ Use adrenaline to regain the AP and 4 hp. Then move for cover.

Edit: Removed the guard.

"Let's try that again, shall we?" Haruka mutters as she sends out another gout of flame. This one catches the warforged, and while the heat subsides, the fires remain, threatening to flare up once more.

[sblock=Actions]Standard: Hellish Rebuke Warforged. Hits Reflex 16 for 8 fire damage and 3 untyped damage. If I take damage before the end of my next turn, he takes an additional 10 fire damage.
Move: Move to current location, retain concealment.

Mal, I know that normally we assume the enemy will take AoO's against us. If Hellish Rebuke hasn't already triggered by the time by next turn comes around, will the Warforged still take a swing at me if I provoke it? And for Patrin's Combat Superiority purposes, is his MBA the Resolute Shield attack?[/sblock]

[sblock=Haruka]Why was your curse 1d8 instead of 1d6?[/sblock]

[sblock=Healing Potions]The elite guard and the warforged have a healing potion on their belt, it can be picked as a minor action or as a free action by moving above it with an acrobatic 15 check and a free hand.

Right now the little red P used for Patrin's Marks also stand for a potion when it's on the ground. I am soooo lazy.
[/sblock]

Patrin takes advantge of the flanking Haruka do deliver a solid blow. A savage grin on his face as the wind turn in their favor.

The warforged, seeing Haruka as a softer target turns on her to but gets decapitated by Patrin as soon as he takes his eyes of him.

-''And that's how it's done! It almost feels like a high five moments, but I got no time to sheath my sword.''

Proving his points, an arrow from nowhere nearly takes out Haruka's head. Ah, yes, the sniper, still lurking in the other room.

The archer from the temple keeps harassing the heroes, focusing this time on Ashir.

From the room south comes an irate and commanding voice furious at the recents disturbance. He calls for a rally and by the sound of it, many are heeding the call.

Patrin doesn't hesitate and runs inside, pushing the battle line as far as he can.


Back near the entrance, the remaining archers hits Raiko to minor damages. He then retreats to the kitchen. The heroes hear a growls and screech coming from that direction that annunces nothing good. By the sound of it, there is a menageries in there.

[sblock=Adrenaline Surge]Everyone gets AS. The slaying of the evil mage represented by a skull and a book will also generate an AS[/sblock]

[sblock=Actions]
Patrin
Standard:
vs AC (1d20+11+2=31, 1d10+6=15)
Minor: Adrenaline surge, healing surge.

Warforged vs Haruka
vs AC 17 (1d20+9-2=17, 1d8+4=7) forgot -2 for mark so miss

Patrin CC Interrupt (technically happens before the interrupted attack, I know ):
vs AC (1d20+11+2=26, 1d10+6=15) Right, so the previous attack was wasted IC time for me because Patrin would have killed him before it landed anyway. Haruka gains 6thp

Sniper
vs AC 17 (1d20+9+2-2=15, 1d8+4+1d6=14) miss, stays hidden on a miss (sniper power)

Archer
vs Ashir (1d20+9=18) hit

Archer vs Raiko
vs AC 20 (1d20+9=21) hit

"That potion is all yours Raiko...You earned it." Hearing the loud screach. "What the hell was that!" Max adjusts a strap on his arm and moves foward to investigate. Getting closer to the room he sees the archer who he had encountered earlier. Thinking to himself, Damn...I should have killed you when I had the chance Scanning the rest of the room he sees the new foes. "Many foes my friends! I'm going in!" Max yells back to the sorcerer and paladin, then charges the archer. "You're going down this time maggot!" He races foward and strikes air, blade crashing into the wall. Max's face turns red with anger as he stares down the archer who now has a smirk on his face.

[sblock=AS]
Max gets his inspiring word back, +4 temp hitpoints (STR) and regain AP

[sblock=actions]

Use AP: charge the archer: 1d20+8+1: 14 Aaaaggghhhhh

[Voda Vosa]

Sheng moves like mantis among the tunnels of the monastery, and places himself behind Max. Even as he does this, he mumbles words, as if he was speaking the other way around. His hissing voice echoing in the caves. The monk waves his hands in the last position, as the skull of green gas shapes before him. With the last gentle gesture, the skull of chaos fly to the archer.
In the eyes of the man, Max becomes a horrible creature, horns grow from his head, throwing his helmet away. His body grows muscled, huge, tearing his armor apart. His hands became claws, his teeth morphed in shark ones, and his eyes slithered like a snake. In a single move, the monster Max eviscerated the archer with the right claw, and decapitated him with his left.
The archer choked a shout of fear and pain, and fall dead to the ground, convulsing.
The vapors gathered about the dead body, emanating from his eyes and mouth.
The skull took form again and floated erratically to the guard at the north, disappearing with a puff in his chest. The man witnessed in horror how the two hawks and the drake turned against him, and slashed at him, turning his flesh in confetti. Screaming the man fall to his knees, the green gas flowing from his mouth before his dead fixed gaze fall upon Sheng who smiled, before the man died.
The skull took shape again, but it's form dissipated before jumping to the next guard.

[sblock=Actions]
Roll Lookup
Target archer and both guards. Kills the archer and a guard, misses the third target.
Sheng rolled an even, so he gets +1 to AC, he hit, so he has a +1 to hit.

[Mal Malenkirk]

[sblock=Sheng]You can't move in diagonal across corners. You had to do that twice to move behind Max. I moved you back two square. See PHB 283 Tactical movement.[/sblock]

 

[dimsdale]

[sblock=Mal]
Since Max charged in first, is Sheng allowed to use the warlord power Battlefront leader allowing Max or one ally within close burst 3 can shift half speed?
[/sblock]

 

[TwoHeadsBarking]

[sblock=curse die]

Why was your curse 1d8 instead of 1d6?

Because I'm cheating Vicious Rod. Increases curse die to d8s.[/sblock]

Haruka giggles unnervingly. "Yes, congratulations can come later, once they're all dead." She walks past Patrin, stopping in the doorway. "Oh look, more cultists. I wonder if these ones are also flammable," she muses as she sends more jets of flame from her fingertips. The warlock grins manically as the fires begin to consume their target, "Well, clearly you are."

[sblock=Actions]Move: Move to current location, retain concealment.
Minor: Curse closest enemy I can see. I'm gunning for the evil wizard, but I may be tripping over the sniper at this point.
Standard: Hellish Rebuke cursed enemy. Hits Reflex 25 for 10 fire damage, 7 curse damage, and 8 more fire damage if I take damage before the end of my next turn. That should leave a mark.

I purposefully left the potion for Ashir.[/sblock]

[sblock=Question about adrenaline]Is there a limit regarding how many I can spend in a turn? Otherwise, I could end up with a turn looking like the following:

AP: Attack
Free Attack from spending an AP near Max.
Minor: Spend AS to regain AP.
AP: Attack
Free Attack from spending an AP near Max.
Move->Minor: Spend AS to regain AP.
AP: Attack
Free Attack from spending an AP near Max.
Standard->Minor: Spend AS to regain AP.
AP: Attack
Free Attack from spending an AP near Max.

Yes, the majority of that will be At-wills, but it's still pretty gross. So, maybe some limit on AP or AS expenditure per round is needed.[/sblock]
