The Necromancer's Skull (Judge - covaithe)

[Velmont]

Trevor blast the construct who seems unaffected by his blow.

OOC: Thunderwave (1d20+3=5, 1d6+3=8)

 

[garyh]

Trevor's thunderblast rolls right past the machine to no effect.

The trap unleashes its blades, this time with targets in reach. The blades clang harmlessly off Trevor's shield, and only the defensive stance assumed by Skalisss keeps the dragonborn safe from whirling steel. The blades also clatter noisily against the adjacent pillar (O9). However, the contraption grinds the remaining bits of dagger from its spokes, and will no longer be hindered in its movement.

Standard - Riposte Strike on Blade thing
attack with flank and timely sneak attack damage if hit (1d20+8+2+1=29, 1d4+4+2d6+3=17)
AC 29 for 17 damage
riposte strike active if it attacks me

ooc: could one go into the alcove it came from? Also this may be an interesting time for skaliss to attack (mark) and then shift back (for that one round). It seems the thing would just attack everybody around it, thus taking -2.

Vixo's dagger is effective, landing a solid blow even through the machine's armor plating (12 damage after resist).

OOC: The alcove is large enough for a medium or smaller creature to enter.

"Well ssstruck Vixo!" Skalisss hisses as he engages the bladed construct with his own longsword.

Minor Action: Divine Strength - Apply STR mod as extra damage to next Melee attack.

Standard Action: Bolstering Strike on Sword Wheel Trap.
Bolstering Strike on Sword Wheel Trap (+1 for timely posting) (1d20+8=18, 1d8+4=8)
Good for 8+4=12 points if it hits! Also if this hits Skalisss gains another 2 temp hit points.

OOC: I'd issue a Divine Challenge but it only effect creatures, I doubt it would work.

Shift to M10
Minor Action: Darkfire vs Construct
Darkfire vs Reflex, if hits, grants combat advantage until end of Steppyn's next turn. (1d20+6+1=8)

OOC: That looks like I miss so I'm going to roll an ordinary attack for Steppyn.

Standard Action: Sly-Flourish with dagger.
Sly-Flourish with no CA vs AC. (1d20+9+1=18, 1d4+9=11)

Steppyn grunts in frustration as he is denied a good opportunity to land a blow.

Skalisss takes a vicious swing with his longsword, and the blade seems blessed by Netari as it deals a serious blow to the machine (7 damage after resist).

OOC: Unfortunately the Bolstering Strike temp HP don't stack.

Steppyn's drow darkness doesn't affect the trap, but his thrown dagger does strike the machine (6 damage after resist), and it's apparent the bladed contraption is wearing down.

[garyh]

Vlastos's force blades affect the trap initially (2 damage after resist), but the trap is unaffected by the lingering blades.

The machine attempts to move to the east, but bumps into the pillar instead and remains were it is. It then lashes out with its blades, doing serious injury to Trevor and Skalisss (15 damage each). Vixo, however, has a chance to fend off the blades that swing his way.

OOC: Riposte from Vixo here.
