[Son of Meepo]

Couldn't give you XP, but that is one very good thought out sheet!

OOC: I can't take credit for it. It's been used in a lot of pbp games I've played, so I just made a copy of it for use in my own games.

*Kauldron braced himself for the worst to come as the storm tossed the boat around as if it were a paper bag. Kauldron dug his heavily ironclad boots into the deck itself as things grew worth. Then he saw his opportunity and bolted towards the Aboleth that Martelai managed to pull closer to the ship itself. He raced across the slick deck then began to slide. He cocked back his bladed fist and slammed it into the snout of the aboleth. His blades cutting the being deeply. He pulled the blades away from the best and attempted to strike once again. Only to have the ship roll the other way, and Kauldron slid a few inches away. His blades catching nothing but air.*

The storm winds suddenly shift direction and a gale force wind blows debris from the ship which pelts Cyr, Earth, and Brenwar, disorienting them.
The creatures in the sky let loose large bursts of thunder that impacts the ship, injuring many aboard.
The abberations in the water try to invade your minds with psychic attacks, one causing Tarkus to pause before finally scoring a direct hit on Cyr, taking control of the deva's thoughts.

[sblock=Air Elemental]Start of Turn: Phantom on the Wind - The air elemental becomes invisible whenever it starts its turn without an enemy adjacent to it. The invisibility lasts until the end of its next turn or until it attacks.

GM: Turn Summary Air Elemental hits Earth, Cyr, and Brenwar, dealing 20 damage and dazing each for a turn. Abishai 1 hits Kauldron and Tarkus for 9 thunder damage. Abishai 2 hits Earth and Brenwar for 12 thunder damage. Abishai 3 hits Cyr for 14 thudner damage. Aboleth 1 misses. Aboleth 1 violates Kauldron's mark and takes 8 radiant damage. Aboleth 2 hits Tarks for 4 psychic damage and is dazed for a turn. Aboleth 2 dominates Cyr (save ends). Remember that if you start your turn within 5 squares of an aboleth and are dazed, you take 5 psychic damage. (10 if you are within both auras).

Oh, lord...

Battered by the waves and the buffeting in his mind, Tarkus somehow manages to keep his feet. His first instinct is to grab onto the mast, but instead he grits his teeth and, through the pounding in his head, shoots holy fire at the abomination which is surging from the waves.

[sblock=Actions]
Start of turn: 10 psychic damage
Standard: Sacred Flame at Aboleth 1. Misses. (Was hoping to grant Cyr a save...)

Can I use free actions or action points while dazed?

[Son of Meepo]

Can I use free actions or action points while dazed?

GM: Yes to both.

 

[JoeNotCharles]

[sblock=More actions]

GM: Yes to both.

Sweet! In that case, if it's not too late, I will do the following before my failed save:

AP: Sacred Flame on Aboleth 1 (again) - hits Reflex 22 for 10 radiant damage. Cyr can make a saving throw.
Free: Hero's Chainmail (triggered by spending AP): Cyr can use his Second Wind as a free action

If Cyr misses the saving throw granted by Sacred Flame, I'll also use my Symbol of Resilience (triggered by hitting with Sacred Flame) to give him another, at +2.

GM: All the daze effects are until end of next turn, so no need to roll a save against them. Also, Tarkus is in both Aboleth auras and damaging auras stack, so Tarkus should take 10 psychic at the start of his turn.

[Voda Vosa]

Earth looses his footing, his heavy weight almost not supported by the wooden deck, that creaks under the stone and earth warforged. Struggling, it stands again.

 

[Rapida]

The thunderbolt plus the icy waves are enough to knock Brenwar to his feet before he is able to act. He slides hard against the mast and mutters, "I feel like Palladys is trying to tell me to get better at jumping or balancing with these last two adventures..." Still on the ground he asks Palladys to bless him with the endurance to survive yet another encounter.

OOC: [MENTION=78756]Son of Meepo[/MENTION]For the random direction I used the standard 1d8, 1 being directly north and going clockwise. So the slide puts me through a pole, do I stay in the same spot or do you want me to end up on the other side since it is a slide 2?
