Adventure: Into the Wild

[TwoHeadsBarking]

"So, this was your strategy? Trap me down here in close-quarters, no room for me to maneuver?" As Haruka speaks, her tattoos stretch and widen, covering her entire right hand and forearm with their oily blackness. From beneath this, her fingers extend into remarkably sharp-looking talons. She grins at her adversary, "I think I see a flaw with your plan." Haruka then flicks out with her ebon claws, carving a deep gash across his arm.

Rocco has no weapons drawn. So first dominated action could be drawing of the weapon

GM: Ah! Good point. Yeah weapon weren't drawn. I don't want to be an hardass about the shield though. A minor to ready it is fine by me.

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

Mal, Nementah's spirit get most of it's advantages by being adjacent to allies, so can we say she is called in J1?

GM: Sure. I am GMing another shaman who routinely uses his spirit to create flanking thanks to one of his powers. I kinda mixed you up in my head.

Ashir draws his staff as a crash of thunder erupts from the genasi, his eyes crackle with arcane energy as the terrible wound continues to leak his lifeblood. "Rocco, Dante, let's finish them quickly, I worry about our friends" Ashir says, slashing his staff in a horizontal swipe, blasts of lightning emanate from the implement. The bolts strike into the assassin and the devil.

OOC: [MENTION=88601]FourMonos[/MENTION], shift right (to column three) so you prevent the assassin from shifting. We may get some free healing that way via SC's OA. Unless he decides to slice and dice at you Deadly mage No mere controller, eh? And Haruka too (though she's a striker) drop him in a round and get up to help up

My goal with Ashir's "controlling" is to inflict the best status condition to enemies...death [/sblock]

GM: You threw your shied? And with an AP, no less? Props for being cinematographic. I should run a Feng Shui campaign just for you! Meanwhile, the powergamers are gagging. I'm so amazed that I will grant you back your AP and the right to use it! I'll be nice and I assume you didn't completly miss with the shield and it didn't go overboard. It's at B3. And your surges are 11, not 10 so that was 13 hp.

-''You think I'm in the hold for you? Egocentric much?'' smirks the assassins before trying to disembowel Haruka.

The fight is brutal and blood is flowing freely.

Max falls to a bolt of fire from the Vizier while the Succubus decide that she is better blowing a kiss toward the mage this time. Ashir resists her no better than Rocco. In a moment he wonders why he did something so cruel as trying to hurt this beautiful creature. Would she ever forgive him? If he hurst the nasty dwarf and the mean human, maybe, and so Ashir does just that, trying to elctrecute them both.

GM: Status Highlight: Ashir dominated, Max dying

[sblock=ooc]

Not necessary to give max back the AP. He's rolled less than a 4 on all his attacks thus far. He deserves to be knocked out.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a "throwing" shield (something max purchased in town before this adventure) return to Max after he throws it at a target? If the shield would have hit, it has a daily power that would have pushed the target one square. The square Max would have chosen is the one where there is no boat under the assassin's feet. Hence, gravity would have taken over, sending the assassin to a watery grave. That would have reduced the number of foes attacking him from 2 to 1.

I forgot to mention that max had a feat that gives him a +3 to attack roll when using an AP. It wouldn't have helped. I blame it all all Iron Sky I now suffer the dreaded low roll bug as well. Hopefully I can roll well on save vs death...here it goes...wish me luck...

max death saving throw number 1: 7

sigh...

The tandum attacks prove too much for Max as he collapses to the ground, with sword and shield at his side...blood trickling from the side of his mouth.

 

[TwoHeadsBarking]

ooc: Are all of these doors closed?

 

[Neurotic]

Could Rocco get adjacent to succubus and vizier without getting prone with athletics check (to get from quarter deck to G2 in a single move (jump down or climb or whatever)) and attack - the idea being Jeronimo like jump crashing Vizier into the water and pulling succusbus to G3 (Funneling Fury)

I don't think so because of difficult terrain, just checking.

Also, does Rocco have one axe out due to domination?
