[sblock=help request] Ilex can't attack with out drawing an OA. can any one get P1 off her?[/sblock]

OOC: Marrgash can certainely try...

Marrgash looks up to the clifftop above. He can’t see Ilex inside, but knows she must be in some trouble with the Peryton pinning her there. With a slam of his staff he directs his will at the Peryton, trying to force it away from the cave entrance.

Standard: Blunder on P3, +8 vs. Will - Critical hit for 12 damage, slides P3 to N20. Ilex makes an opportunity attack with +2 bonus (miss)

Merri again tries to skewer the flying beast, but this time it is wise enough to stay out of reach.

OOC: Pretty sure, but just wanted to check- it isn't double move for side-to-side, right? Just for climbing up/down?

GM: The rules seem somewhat ambiguous on the subject, but I'll allow horizontal movement at normal speed, but it will still require an Athletics check.

Lenyara took another look at the situation- it didn't look like the creatures were going to come to her... She took a few steps back along the ledge, shifting into her lioness form as she did then launched herself forward, leaping across to the ledge near Ilex. She landed hard, trying to scrabble to her (four) feet.

[sblock= OOC]
>Minor: shift aspect to Soaring hawk
>Standard: used as minor, Body of the (lioness) to shift to lioness form
>Move: back to E 15 (for running start), then forward to column K (hopefully, 15' running long jump, then fall 10' to ledge; DC is 15); 1d20+7= 25 (success); roll Roll Lookup
>Acrobatics check to either Hop Down (10' drop, if allowed) or reduce falling damage (if Hop Down not allowed), 1d20+9= 29 (crit, roll included above); reduces falling damage by 14; possible damage 2d10= 15; roll Roll Lookup . So if Hop Down is allowed, no damage and standing- if Hop Down is not allowed, 1 damage and prone; either way in K 17 and in lioness form.

>If we have an AP, use it. If prone, use it to stand. If not prone, use it to ready Fading strike with bite, at first foe to enter adjacent square

>Sorry for so much if/then

With the peryton no longer on top of her, Ilex calls upon the energy of the earth to heal herself. She then stands to take advantage of her bewitchment of one of the flying oafs. "Take that,"Ilex yells as she directs a burst of lighting at the peryton above Marrgash doing more than just singeing a few feathers.

Peryton 1

The first peryton swoops in and takes Ilex off her feet once again. It is a serious wound, but not as bad as it could have been.

[sblock=actions]Start of Turn: Designate Ilex as prey
Standard: Flyby Attack
Flyby Attack (2d6+8=10, 1d20+9=25) (HIT)[/sblock]

Peryton 2

The second tries to lift the dragonborn off the ledge and carry him away, but Marrgash proves to be too much for the weakened Dragonborn to lift.

[sblock=actions]Start of Turn: Designate Marrgash as prey
Standard: Claw Snatch
Claw Snatch (2d8+6=11, 1d20+7=11) (MISS)[/sblock]

Peryton 3

The next one bashes Lenyara with its antlers, sending her sprawling.

[sblock=actions]Start of Turn: Designate Lenyara as prey
Standard: Flyby Attack
Flyby Attack (2d6+8=12, 1d20+9=25) (HIT)[/sblock]

Peryton 4

The final one desides to try to make a desperate meal out of the small pixie creature. It SKEWERS El Chupacabra with its claws and begins to fly off with the dying creature.

[sblock=actions]Start of Turn: Designate Chupacabra as prey
Standard: Claw Snatch
Claw Snatch (2d8+6=22, 1d20+7=20) (HIT)
Move: To current position carrying Chupacabra.[/sblock]

Merri

Merri tries desperately to stab the beast with her rapier as the peryton flies off with El Chupacabra, but she is too slow.
[sblock=OA]OA (1d20+3=15, 1d8-1=2) (MISS)[/sblock]

GM: If anyone has anything up their sleeve to save El Chupacabra, now is the time to use it. Ilex is aware that the peryton will attempt to fly back to its cave with El Chupacabra and devour his heart.

[sblock=traits and powers used]
Peryton's Prey
At the start of each of its turns, the peryton chooses one creature it can see. That creature is the peryton’s prey until the start of the peryton’s next turn.
Unhindered
When the peryton moves on its turn, it pulls with it any creature grabbed by it. The peryton can pull the creature vertically off a solid surface. During this movement, the creature remains grabbed, and this movement does not provoke an opportunity attack from the grabbed creature.

Antler Bash

At-WillAttack: Melee 1 (one creature); +9 vs. AC
Hit: 2d6 + 3 damage, or 2d6 + 8 against the creature designated as the peryton’s prey. In addition, the target falls prone.

Flyby Attack

At-Will
Effect: The peryton flies up to its fly speed and uses antler bash once at any point during the movement. The peryton does not provoke opportunity attacks when moving away from the target of the attack.

Claw Snatch

Recharge when first bloodied
Effect: Before and after the attack, the peryton can fly up to half its fly speed.
Attack: Melee 1 (one Medium or smaller creature designated as the peryton’s prey); +7 vs. Reflex
Hit: 2d8 + 6 damage, and the target is grabbed (escape DC 14) until the end of the peryton’s next turn.[/sblock]

 

[Someone]

OOC: Wouldn't it like some delicious tanglefoot glue instead? I kinda need my heart, and as meals go, it isn't much nourishment

 

[FourMonos]

OOC: I'm going to post this now... but it seems like my whole turn depends on a successful skill check.... this just screams trouble.

 

[FourMonos]

The battle was getting to her. She felt helpless against the flying creatures, that had to be it. It was just so hard.... she was letting her friends down. The agony and despair was poorly out of Merri in waves, just as strong as when he exhilaration bolstered her friends.

That had to be why the fairly didn't dodge out of the antler-things way.

No! It wasn't going to be like this. Merri focused her hardest as the beast came down. Her aura solidified to protect el Chupacabra. While the peryton does deal a savage blow, the blow is deflected a bit by Merri's emotional outpouring.

[sblock=Immediate Interrupt]
Immediate Interrupt: Sympathetic Agony: An ally within 5 squares of Merri takes damage. The target takes half damage from the attack. Until the end of next turn, Merri and target gain +2 to defenses while within 5 squares of each other. el Chupacabra takes only 11 damage. [/sblock]

Merri watches the fairy carried away. She leaps to the rough wall and climbs to the next ledge, waiting to see if she can save the poor fairy.

[sblock=actions]
Movement: Climb check: 1d20 → [3] = (3) Roll. Fails to climb to P-23, ends in P-24.

Standard convert to Movement: Climb check: 1d20 → [11] = (11) Roll. Move to S-21.

Readied Minor Action: If el Chupacabra enters range of Merri's Ardent Surge (5 squares), she will use it on him. Hopefully that means I can use it on him as he is falling.
