Adventure:Land Ho! FWBTHW (DM:H.M.Gimlord,Judge:Ozymandias79)

[Tenchuu]

[sblock=ooc]Exactly. My plan is to draw the AoE toward me, if possible, and pray the kobolds keep that thing grounded. As long as it can't attack me, that's 8 auto damage per round minimum. I think this encounter alone I will surpass all the damage Jin ever managed to land.

Once one side is dead, we can re-assess the strategy.

Moral of the story: everyone needs to get a cheap L1 magic ranged weapon, for situations like these (myself included). [/sblock]

 

[Walking Dad]

I got a +1 ranged weapon. Hasn't one of your powers reach?

changing the action posted in my last post to this:

Riardon

Riardon sighs as he switches weapons again. His thrown javlin bounces of harmlessly from the scaled beast's hide and reappears in his hand.

[sblock=OOC]

move: put away sword
minor: draw javelin
standard: Javelin throw (1d20+9=14, 1d6+5=9)

-----

Everyone in 20 sq around Riardon gets a +2 to initiative.
When you spend an AP, you get a +1 on attacks.

[sblock=ooc]My reaching powers are designed to pull enemies to me. Great for dealing with ranged foes; but my tactic here is really to put the dragon in a no-win situation: Do nothing, or attack and deal itself damage while taking penalties to both hit and damage.

[BenBrown]

[sblock=whoops!]Now here I got Fenwick this fancy chargin' axe what does extra damage when chargin', and durned if I don't forget to add that extra damage when he goes and charges. Should be an extra (1d8=1) damage on his last attack. Oh well. Every little bit helps.

I'll post this round later. Got to get me some eatin's first.[/sblock]

 

[BenBrown]

Fenwick backs up to charge again, the potential shock of the electricity seems a much less significant hazard than an angry dragon. His axe hits true again!
"Lightning can not keep Fenwick from hitting things!" he calls as he dances back out of the way.

[sblock=Actions]Move: to -E24 in order to get adequate run-up for a charge.
Standard: Charge to -A24, Howling Strike (charge) vs. dragon. (1d20+9+1=29) Another hit! Howling Strike damage vs. dragon. (1d12.minroll(3)+1d6+1d8+6=19)
Free shift from boots of Adept Charging to -B25

5 damage from electricity, but well worth it.[/sblock][sblock=Fenwick stat block]Fenwick Male Orc Barbarian 4

[H.M.Gimlord]

The dragon roars back at Gensai’s taunts,
Mind your own business!
A hurricane of toxic fumes emanate from the beast’s mouth sending Riardon, Rujah, and Gensai choking for air. Several kobolds are also caught in the cloud which seems to have a demoralizing effect.
Now you will see that you are unwise to lower your guard, blade boy!
Taunting in reply, the dragon growls at Gensai, startling him just enough that he forgets where he is. Sparks fly. Electricity erupts from the ground and the skin on his legs convulses violently with electrically stimulated seizures.

Still weary from the channeler’s clumsy attempt to catch the dragon off guard, the band of reptilian soldiers regroup, but their effort is meager. The dragon seems to be deriving pleasure, knocking her foes to the ground, when suddenly the protecting magic that Gensai has woven proves too much to ignore.
Even tickling antics such as yours can get annoying sometimes,
And with that she lets loose with another toxic cloud. The rest of the kobolds attempt to retaliate, but do little more damage.

Though the dragon is strong, she appears to be weakening. Unfortunately, so are the kobolds.

[Walking Dad]

[sblock=OOC]I wait to see if Rujah succeeds on his Warden saving throw. He should really leave the melee combat and use his second wind. Riardon has only 2 inspiring words a day.[/sblock]

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

[sblock=OOC]Isn't it 2 IW/encounter?[/sblock]

 

[Walking Dad]

[sblock=OOC]Isn't it 2 IW/encounter?[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Sorry, mistyped. He got 2 Iw/encounter, but his other healing power is a daily. Is the lightning area still present at Rujah's next turn? If yes he will be down anyway [/sblock]

Mervin takes a quick breather while the sphere continues to mildly annoy his foes.
