Beyond the Rerisen Tower(DM Iron Sky, Judge: renau1g)

[Iron Sky]

Return to the Tower, Round 4

There are too many ravens for the militia to be able to smash and break at once. Dozens of ravens rise again and, while only a few manage to take flight, they harry the party.

Meanwhile, the remaining Death Motes blast down several of the militia, the motes flaring as they bring the fallen back to life.

GM: Since the militia were all screwed up, I just used whatever Militia was available to complete your militia orders. CDG is a standard action that lets you use an at-will, which doesn't include charge. I changed Salgyn's first move to have Uyanmas adjacent and his second to CDG the RRD. As a heads up, when the Storytelling "died" all effects on it ended as usual.

[sblock=Commanding NPCs]As a minor action, you may give the militia or the Mason a command, either a minor, move, or standard action. If they leave the right side of the map, they are out of the fight.

As a free action, you make take the damage for an adjacent Militia or, alternatively, when you take damage, you make make the Militia take it for you.[/sblock]

[sblock=Terrain and Lighting]Difficult Terrain: All the gray and/or gray-green rocky areas south of the palisade are difficult terrain. The Palisade squares are all difficult terrain. Squares with wagon debris (B11, I8, and I20 areas) are difficult terrain. N20+ is a 2 square tall cliff face with a palisade atop it(DC 15 to climb).

Light: We'll assume the militia have lanterns so light isn't an issue.[/sblock]

 

[Xeterog]

Men, take care of those walking dead, we'll worry about the birds!



[sblock=actions]
Start of Turn: take the MBA and 1 pts of damage.
Standard action: Iron Fist on Storytelling: Hits for 13/2=6 damage :Effect: DR4
Minor: Militia3 (c14) Charge RRD4 in B17 (list has him in B27, map has him in B17, going with the map). Hits, RRD4 is 'Dead"
Minor: Militia14 (B28) Charge RRD5 (F25) Hits, RRD5 is 'Dead'
[/sblock]

OOC: If the Storytelling is like other non-minions that have re-risen, it would have only had 1 HP when I hit it, thus it would now be 'dead' again...but that may not be the case for this much more difficult foe.

GM: Don't give me ideas No, it is now "dead" again.

 

[Xeterog]

OOC: I totally missed that the max HP for the storytelling were listed, or I would have known it was re-dead

 

[Dekana]

OOC: Iron: you listed the ravens as getting a MBA on militia 1 when he attacked... but that was for a CDG, at which point the ravens were already "dead" by the first militia's charge. The aura should have been down at that point. Not a huge deal, but it would save Fredrock 6 damage.

Toeto walks underneath the necrotic wisp of energy and joins a militiaman next to his fallen comrade. Sprout floats through the air to join them. Once he arrives, he crushes the undead militia's throat to prevent its resurrection.

On the other side of the battle, another soldier charges at his now monstrous ally. Tears flowing freely down his cheek, he slams his spear into the creature's chest. The zombie remains still... for now.

[sblock=Toeto stats/actions][sblock=actions]Move: Sprout moves to C16 (1 up) and Toeto moves to C17.

Standard: Protecting Strike to CDG RRD4 (B17) hits Will 22+5=27, killing it for good. Militia 3 gains 3 THP.

Minor: Command Militia 15 (F29) to charge to G27 vs RRD3 (G26) hits AC 22. RRD3 is "dead."[/sblock][sblock=Spirit's Shield OA]Toeto can take OAs through her spirit companion if an enemy adjacent to it moves without shifting.

Notes
Any ally adjacent to Toeto's spirit companion regains +3 additional hit points when he or she uses second wind or when Toeto uses a healing power on him or her.

[sblock=Spirit Companion rules]The spirit companion is treated as a conjuration with some exceptions.

• It occupies 1 square like an ally does.
• It is only affected by melee or ranged attacks (not close/area attacks or zones).
• It is dispersed if it takes 11 or more damage from a single blow, and Toeto takes 6 damage. It is otherwise unaffected by attacks. It uses Toeto's defenses.
• It cannot be flanked and it does not grant flanking.
• It can move 5 squares whenever Toeto takes a move action. It is not affected by difficult terrain.

GM: Actually, it attacked on Eithal's turn before the Storytelling was down.

"Stay back friends," Salgyn says to the militia as he moves across the battle field, "We cyan finish off undead here. You do not vant to end up like your unfortunate comrades."

Then Salgyn breaks into his wind song once more, and as he does so a strong gust disperses one of the death motes.

As he has seen may rerise beforehand, Kaz take measures to kill the swarm once and for all. He flourishes his axe, leaping into the air he brings it down hard to the ground, causing a shockwave and flinging dust everywhere. As the dust settles, you find that the ravens have turned to ash, they shall rerise no more.
