Adv: A Simple Dungeon Crawl (DM: DarwinofMind Judge:renau1g)

Psais wipes the dust from his robes and continues on his path toward the ritual circle. With a smile to Grigo the deva takes up the water skin from the floating disk and squeezes it, the clear fluid pours into the open portal as though it were falling downward.

[sblock=OOC]Dang. Forgot about that. So I guess I'm stuck at H17. No IRs either right?[/sblock][sblock=Tactics]Somebody needs to get the Darter off Grigo's back. I foolishly traded my chance to mark it for a +1 against the scourge (that didn't help BTW ).[/sblock]

One-Who-Waits steps back from the scourge. Knotty Virtue moves next to Grigo in a blur and lashes out repeatedly at the smaller of the two abominations, curving its body every which way around the gnome without disturbing him.

[sblock=Need adjudication]I originally thought the darter was bloodied and so hit it with Twin Panthers first. If I had not concluded that 12 is half of 22, I'd have hit it with Stalker's Strike first as that's easier to hit with. If the actions go in the more sensible order (Stalkers then Panthers) the darter is dead and the scourge grants melee CA while next to Knotty Virtue. If they go in my original stupid order (as they appear in Invisible Castle) then Twin Panthers misses completely and the darter takes 4 from Stalker's Strike.

Edit: I no longer need arithmetic, because I am a college graduate.[/sblock]
[sblock=actions]Move: shift to H18. Knotty Virtue moves to G16.

Standard: Twin panthers on darter. Second attack goes to scourge if darter dies. attack vs. reflex 1; attack 2; damage 1; damage 2 (1d20+10=15, 1d20+10=18, 1d8+5=6, 1d8+5=10). (Attacks only at +6 if this happens first, as Darter isn't bloodied.)

Action Point: Stalker's Strike on darter. vs fort; damage (1d20+8=24, 1d8+5=8). (This attack is only at +6, no matter what.)

[sblock=Spirit Effects (IMPORTANT TO DM AND PCS)] A reminder of the effects that the spirit (Knotty Virtue) has on combat. The first three are important to players.

• Any ally of One-Who-Waits who starts their turn adjacent to Knotty Virtue can shift 1 square as a free action, as the first action during their turn.
• Any ally of One-Who-Waits who is adjacent to Knotty Virtue gains a +4 bonus to their damage rolls against bloodied enemies.
• Knotty Virtue occupies 1 square. Allies can move through its space but enemies cannot.
• Any enemy that leaves a square adjacent to Knotty Virtue without shifting is subject to an opportunity attack (the Spirit's Fangs power).
• Knotty Virtue has the same defense values as One-Who-Waits and can be targeted by attacks.
• If a single attack deals 11 or more damage to Knotty Virtue, the spirit disappears and One-Who-Waits takes 6 damage. Otherwise Knotty Virtue is unaffected by attacks.
• When One-Who-Waits takes a move action, he can move Knotty Virtue up to 6 squares as well.
• Knotty Virtue is unaffected by terrain and environmental phenomena.

OOC: assuming the darter is dead as per OWW's actions...


Seeing the monstrosity at a momentary disadvantage, its movements erratic and slowed, Yimayngurr takes the opportunity to rush in for an attack. But, the cloak of madness that surrounds it obscures the fell thing from the hunter's keen eye, and his spear veers wide of its mark. His opportunity having soured, Yimayngurr quickly darts behind Eithal, "Beggin' your pardon, miss," and peers over her shoulder and readying himself for another assault.

[sblock=actions]Standard: Precise Assault vs. Scourge, moving to G17 = miss (roll)

As the scourge whips past his shoulder, Grigo feels an unearthly chill. His dagger whips out reflexively, more to fend the creature off than with any expectation of harming it. The mist around the creature spoils his hasty swipe. Leaving the monsters to his brave companions, Grigo steps back from the melee, takes up a handful of coarse salt and tosses it into the portal.

Power of Earth, where thou art cast, let no spell or purpose last, not in perfect accord with me. This is my will; so mote it be! As the salt crystals land in the portal they flare into tiny blue flames and disappear. Grigo reaches for the next ingredient.

Eithal runs hard and slams into the scourge, but for some reason her axe doesn't connect, but she manages to get its attention, "Skews me."

Psais wipes the dust from his robes and continues on his path toward the ritual circle. With a smile to Grigo the deva takes up the water skin from the floating disk and squeezes it, the clear fluid pours into the open portal as though it were falling downward.

His opportunity having soured, Yimayngurr quickly darts behind Eithal, "Beggin' your pardon, miss," and peers over her shoulder and readying himself for another assault.

The scourge focuses on Eithal, tendril after tendril slam into the goliath and finally she succumbs as the barbed appendages tear into her flesh.

It then turns its attention to the half-orc and a pair of tentacles tear vicious wounds in the ranger.

[sblock=ooc]
Did anyone see The Mist? Kinda like those tentacles from the grocery store room [/sblock]

[sblock=Actions]
Scourge uses Gnashing Jaws on Eithal - vs ac; dmg (1d20+8=23, 1d6+4=10, 1d20+8=25, 1d6+4=6, 1d20+8=26, 1d6+4=7) hits all 3 times for 23 damage
Shifts to G17
AP: Gnashing Jaws Again - vs ac; dmg (1d20+8=24, 1d6+4=10, 1d20+8=20, 1d6+4=10, 1d20+8=19, 1d6+4=9) first hits Eithal for 10, dropping him, second two to Yimayngurr. Both hit for 19... wow...so 6 attacks, 6 hits, mostly with max damage? Too bad my PC's can't roll like this...

[/sblock]

[sblock=Stats]
Scourge - AC: 17, F/R/W: 17/16/16 - Aura grants concealment to self against adjacent creatures and total concealment against enemies that aren't adjacent. Resist 5 (variable) - whichever is the first energy type it takes it will resist. Reactive Swipe - if is hit by melee attack +6 vs Ref; 1d6+4 dmg; teleport 3 (i'll determine location)

[sblock=Terrain]
The light sources are torches on the map, 5 square illumination.[/sblock]

Grigo is horrified to see his friends fall, but he knows they are counting on him to finish the task before more monsters come through. He edges away from the scourge and decides to take a shortcut in the ritual. Instead of speaking the words to summon the third element, he uses illusion magic to express them in visual form.

The candle's flame brightens unnaturally as Grigo picks it up and brandishes it toward the portal. A ray of light streaks forth and translucent flames begin to lick at the edges of the portal's inky blackness. The flames spread and soon, though they are obviously not real, they cover the opening in a sheet of flame.

MOVE: shift to F15
STANDARD: ritual, arcana 19
FREE: point out the healing potion he prepared earlier, on the disk in F16 - perhaps it would be a free action for an adjacent character to grab it if they need it, rather than the normal minor action to retrieve a stowed potion?

[sblock=OOC]For the record, Eithal is female.

Secondly... OUCH! TWO FATAL ERRORS!

1. Can't move after a charge!
2. For some (stupid) reason, I thought the dazed condition was an SE, not TENT. Thus the scourge got two actions! Ugh!

I'm going to save my save until the end of the round, hoping somebody can heal me (If they think it's worth it ).[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]
Potion grabbing is a free action

HM - sorry about that, that's what I get for rushing the post after midnight when I should be asleep [/sblock]

Reeling from his grievous wounds, Yimayngurr nevertheless forces himself to think quickly. Realizing he must help himself before he can help anyone else, he completely drains all but a few drops the healing potion he had previously recovered from the body of the necromancer. Yimayngurr stoops down over the fallen goliath and whips off his hair-string belt, quickly lashing it around Eithal's leg in an improvised tourniquet to stanch the flow of blood from her most serious wound. "Come on big sheila, don't be leaving us yet!"

The ranger then pours the last couple of drops of the potion on some of Eithal's lesser wounds while whispering a muttered prayer to the File Snake spirit in his own language to spare her life. When he sees Eithal's eyes flicker back open, he gives a quick satisfied nod, then dances backward from the danger posed by the scourge, his spear once again at the ready.

[sblock=actions]Start of Turn: regenerate 2

Minor: Yimayngurr drinks his healing potion (Quick Draw allows him to draw it as part of the same action)

Standard: First aid to allow Eithal to use second wind = success (1d20+7=16)

Move: Shift to F19

This ought to bring Eithal back to conciousness anyway, maybe OWW can help heal her up a bit more.[/sblock]
