//sorry! forgot I'd not done that: 1d20+6=8, 1d8+8=10 Guh! worse than the first one.
Emral remembers an obscure fact bout swarms moments into casting his Chaos Bolt. Suddenly switching spells being a bad idea he'd failed to remember, though, and as such his "Chaos Spray" fizzled majestically into a sparkling cloud formed like the words WONH WONH!
Drat! I mean, Ha! Take that! I'll hit you with Irony! Emral coughed, and prepared another spell...

Round 4
Emral withdraws from the BONESWARM!, easily weathering the slicing fragments of skeleton in his retreat. [Aura: BONESWARM's basic attack - 1d20+8=9 v. AC, 1d10+4=6]
"Uh...squeezing closer together while being attacked by the giant cloud of bones is probably not the best idea," says Dave, Spirit of War.
Unfortunately, as the genasi casts his spell, it fizzles!
Chittering, chattering, and clacking, the BONESWARM! slides away from the radiant flaming sphere. It presses towards the lone green skeleton, drawing opportunity attacks from Emral and Drivan. [Move to Q10. Emral's OA: 1d20+6=11 v. AC, 1d4+2=6 - MISS! Drivan's OA: 1d20+4=16v. AC, 1d8+1=5 - MISS!]
The BONESWARM! sucks in the screaming skeleton. [+2 THP]
Then, the BONESWARM! slams Emral to the ground. [Minor: Overwhelm 1d20+7=27 v. Fortitude -- CRITICAL HIT!]
Yet, somehow, the sorcerer manages to resist the grinding bones of the swarm! [Standard: Basic Attack - 1d20+8+2=12 v. AC, 1d10+4=8 -- MISS!]
Despite the orders of the Bone-tinant, the White Legionnaires abandon their posts on the ramparts and leap into the oozing blackness left behind by the exploding green disc.
The lone Legionnaire facing Vaunea looks towards the blackness with longing, considers running, and then takes a swing a Vaunea. [1d20+6=10 v. AC] But Vaunea easily deflects the attack with her shield. The skeleton takes a step backwards, then moans in frustration as the black orb vanishes...
Only to be replaced with a four-armed skeleton that plays a tune on its rib-cage with a pair of mallets. "Yeeeaaaaah, baby! Let's get this party started! The Helter Skeleton has arrived!"
The green Legionnaires hurl their bone-a-rangs at Emral and Drivan. [Standard: Ranged Attacks v. Emral's AC -- 1d20+6+2=9, 1d20+6+2=26, 1d20+6+2=15, 1d20+6+2=26, 1d20+6+2=25. Emral takes three hits and loses 9 HP. Ranged Attacks v. Drivan's AC -- 1d20+6=25 1d20+6=16 1d20+6=20 1d20+6=20. Drivan takes three hits and loses 9 HP.]
"Orange team! Focus your attacks on the one lying on the ground!" shouts the Bone-tinant.
"Sir, yessir!"
Finnian regenerates 2 HP.
Poor Erlai is reduced to a spray of meat and blood by the BONESWARM!, but Finnian avoids the flying, biting skulls. [Aura Attacks: 1d20+8=27 v. Erlai 1d20+8=16 v. Finnian; 1d10+4=7 damage to Erlai. Erlai dies.]
The crowd screams in dismay. Small children weep.
A green disc appears on the floor, near Finnian.
"Oh, too bad!"
"Yep, looks like Erlai's the first down, and Emral's next. Why that bird stayed so close to the swarm and didn't fly out of it's reach, we'll never know. I don't think they're going to be able to win this one with tactics like that!"

[sblock=LoB Opportunity Attacks]If you must roll opportunity attacks for or against a Legionairre, use the following statistics:
[sblock=Uncle Mikey's Special Potions]UNCLE MIKEY’S SUPER HEALING POTION
Base Item: Potion
Power (Consumable): Minor Action. Drink this potion and spend a healing surge. You regain all lost Hit Points. However, because Uncle Mikey made this potion with super-hot peppers, you experience unbelievable searing pain in your mouth and bowels. Your tongue swells, and you cannot speak (or consume any other potions). Your nose runs, your eyes tear, and you become dizzy from the pain: -2 to all attack rolls and defenses. A successful save ends the harmful side effects.
Level: n/a
Value: n/a
UNCLE MIKEY’S GO JUICE
Base Item: Potion
Power (Consumable): Minor Action. When you drink Uncle Mikey’s Go Juice, you gain a +1 bonus to Speed, Armor Class, and Reflexes, as well as the ability to perform an extra basic attack once per round, as a free action, on your turn. This Go Juice effect lasts until the end of your next turn.
Once the first effect of the Go Juice wears off, you begin to get the jitters. When you post, you cannot place spaces, capitalization, or punctuation in your character’s speech. You still gain a +1 bonus to Speed and may perform an extra basic attack, once per round, as a free action, on your turn. However, you suffer a -1 penalty to all attack rolls and defenses. A successful save ends this effect.
After the second effect of the Go Juice wears off, you become blind until the end of your next turn.

//Huh. We could be in big trouble, I'm thinking. Where do I find that Marilith token/power? Also, can I use that Eustice power Drivan and I scored to ignore that last salvo? Like, the damage from it, so I don't go under before I can get off a Healing Surge or move?
//Emral's 'Take It Like A Man' token allows him to ignore a stun or daze effect, but does not negate damage.
'A Marilith Scorned' was a token activated by the Legion at the start of the fight. It gave them a temporary +1 bonus to attacks against Emral.
Options...
1. A party member could use Dave to heal Emral of 1d6 HP.
2. A party member could spend a generic psychic token to let Emral expend a healing surge.
3. If Emral dies or becomes unconscious, on his turn, he can activate the 'Marco's Hopes and Dreams' token, instantly regaining all lost HP.
4. Have someone toss you onto one of the green disks.//
