Saving Throw (1d20+2+2=15)

The Thing in the Tree is not pushed. Since Chupacabra is never in melee range, he does not get the MBA.

GM: The thing is getting +2 to its save for being Elite, and then it's bonus vs forced movement started at +4, but is currently +2.

 

[Son of Meepo]

GM: [MENTION=5656]Someone[/MENTION] I just noticed a problem with your turn. Creatures on the ground are at elevation 0. A close blast 3 power will hit 3 elevation levels. So Chupacabra could hit elevation 3, 2, 1 but just be over the heads of the seedlings, or 2, 1, 0, and just be underneath the thing in the tree. Feel free to pick the targets or choose a different action instead.

Merri starts to recover from her shock. Had life taught her nothing thus far than to be so trusting? Her embarrassment at being taken so unawares eminates out from her.

Merri's thoughts are still elsewhere when the animated plant brandishes it's vines. Dodging one, she moves right into its other vine and is then pulled toward the foilage.

She is unable to free herself from its grasp.

"Fine then, I'll stay right here next to you." Merri grabs the vine and the creature flails in pain as it's essence is drained.

[sblock=actions]
Escape Grab (acrobatics): 1d20+3 → [3,3] = (6) Roll Lookup No.

Standard: Taste of Life vs Bloodvine: 1d20+3, 1d8+7 → ([16, 3], [7, 7]) Roll Lookup Hit for 14 damage, which eliminates it's THP and does 4 damage. Merri gains 6 THP.

OOC: Sorry [MENTION=69684]WEContact[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6687049]Wife Of Meepo[/MENTION] still immobilized and couldn't get closer to heal . Also, [MENTION=78756]Son of Meepo[/MENTION] I don't think you put Nalkyr's damage on the twig blight swarm in the combat table last turn.

 

[Son of Meepo]

OOC: Also, @Son of Meepo I don't think you put Nalkyr's damage on the twig blight swarm in the combat table last turn.

GM: I did. His attacks did 8 and 10 damage, but they're halved because it's a swarm, so 9 damage total, which reduced its THP from 10 to 1.

 

[WEContact]

OOC: @Medina I didn't realize Merri was grabbed- in retrospect I think you should have double moved to heal Ilex :/. @pathfinderq1 , try to attack the Thing if you can.

"You should not have come. This place is beyond saving and now you shall rot in the earth like these trees."

Caim seethes with rage. She doesn't doesn't see Adnasia, but is confident that she's close enough to Caim scream as she struggles with the ensnaring vines, "YOU FAITHLESS WRETCH! YOU WERE DAMNED THE MOMENT YOU GAVE UP HOPE, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO SEND YOU TO HELL!" Caim tears apart the vines, carefully approaching the infested tree. Her face is pale, which makes the blood look brighter. "SOON YOU'LL FEEL THE BLADES OF THE FEY YOU'VE CHARMED!"

Powers: Brash Strike, Twisted Eye, Battlemind's Demand, Blurred Step, Guardian's Counter, Eldritch Strike, Steel Unity Strike[/sblock]
[sblock=Out-of-Turn Action Conditions]Caim will always use Blurred Step if doing so does not distance her from an enemy which she considers significantly higher priority than the enemy triggering Blurred Step.

Caim will use Guardian's Counter at the first opportunity.

If Caim's Combat Challenge is triggered by a melee attack from a credible threat, she will use Eldritch Strike as her Melee Basic Attack, and on a hit she will slide the attacker away from the target to invalidate the triggering attack.

If Caim can make a Melee Basic Attack outside of her turn against a credible threat (if her Guardian's Counter is triggered, for example) she will use Eldritch Strike. If it's an OA, will spend 1 PP to augment Twisted Eye to use in place of her MBA. If she has no Power Points remaining, she will use Eldritch Strike. Note that Blurred Step and Combat Challenge may both activate at the same trigger.

Enemies are not credible threats if I am aware that their ability to move and act freely is far less harmful to the party than is that of other monsters on the board. Caim would not use Eldritch Strike on a Minion when she also has a Skirmisher marked, for example.[/sblock]

Standing there dizzy and nearly knocked senseless, Ilex struggles for understanding of the creatures surrounding them. In a SUDDEN moment of clarity she sustains her Arcane Whirlwind hoping to yank the Abomination out of the tree. The swirling winds momentarily pick up speed and it falls to the far side of the tree with a crash breaking only a few of its limb as it falls, leaving them dangling lifeless in the Great Oak towering Above it.

GM: I just noticed a problem with your turn. Creatures on the ground are at elevation 0. A close blast 3 power will hit 3 elevation levels. So Chupacabra could hit elevation 3, 2, 1 but just be over the heads of the seedlings, or 2, 1, 0, and just be underneath the thing in the tree. Feel free to pick the targets or choose a different action instead.

OOC: You're right! I think that instead of Steel Avalanche I'll use Swift river blood. If I keep the rolls, the damage against the thing is 2 points lower (ammended in the damage spreadsheet) and the minions are alive

OOC: Please specify that you want to slide the thing adjacent to me if possible. I can alter my move action if necessary. Good job!

 

[pathfinderq1]

OOC: Well I just had a large and complicated post completely wasted by that since I took too long composing the post. I will wait to see where the Thing ends up and try to salvage something. GM please ignore all the IC rolls that are attached to actions no longer valid

 

[pathfinderq1]

OOC: This post is just what might have been. Will attmpt a re-do once I find out where Thing ended up since Ilex's action went through while I was putting this post together. First need to edit of 14 damage to thing, that I added while checking post.

Lenyara had observed long enough- she burst from her hiding place and into motion. In a blur, she crossed the distance to the central tree, leaping over intervening obstacles and under the creature's lashing tendrils. At the base of the tree she shifted back into her human form and began to make her way up the trunk. While she looked mostly human, she retained the claws of a lioness, and she raced up the tree as easily as she had crossed the forest floor. The tangle braid of leather cables in her right hand lashed out, slapping at the hidden creature.
