[Adventure]: The Bane of the Black Dragon (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

[dimsdale]

OOC: dimsdale ???? Zharne saved VS daze in this post , haven't been dazed since

ooc: my bad...DM is dazed (save ends)

 

[Someone]

OOC: As a side note, now that the fight is almost over I think Prime has avoided through powers, negated by damage reduction or absorbed with temporary HP around 100 points of damage or so, not counting the attacks to other characters that failed thanks to mark penalties, cover or attack redirection. He's a tough MF, and I really like this char. And that's nothing compared to what he'll become when he reaches level 12!

[Voda Vosa]

Vermitrax simply rises his hands and conjures effortlessly a sphere of cian energy that crashes unerringly on the tomb guardian.

OOC: MM: Autohit for 8

 

[Luinnar]

OOC: Dragon saved from faze last turn I have a warforged fighter in the group I am DMing for as well, they are impossible to kill!

Attack vs will! Sharpe shouts, blasting an arcane bolt at the tomb guardian, who ducks his head just in time.

What happened? They always hit!

Drew finishes the fight with flourish, jumping over golems retaliatory swing and straightening his legs in an explosive move, shattering bones and breaking the magic holding them together.

[Someone]

The remaining skeletons are scattered, their magic destroyed. Prime watches for a few moments the room, now silent as tombs shoud be. He steps forward, towards the doors the golem was hitting.

KERRRUNCH

At each step Prime crushes with ihs metallic soles some of the countless bones fragments littlering the floor.

KA-KERRRRRRUNCH

Doesn't look like trying to sweep them aside before atepping is doing much to help either.

+++Let's leave this place+++

 

[dimsdale]

short rest here

With the skeletons killed and the room silent, one can't help but hear noises on the other side of the double doors. You can easily tell that it is the sound of battle.

ooc: I'll figure out xp for this last encounter and post it later tonight.

You now have a choice

1. Head back home to the tavern
2. Investigate what is causing the noise on the other side of the door.

[MENTION=5656]Someone[/MENTION]: Prime has the orb. You sense the presence of a powerful force within the orb pulling you towards the set of double doors

[sblock=Vermitrex]
You sense the presence of Vlastoes, but something has changed. There is no sign of life within him.

[Someone]

Prime removes the armor plate on his right arm and straights it with a few well placed hammer blows before putting it back.

OOC: Spending a healing surge

+++Fighting noise? There must be more goblins beyond the doors, that would explain the mage's minions trying to reach them.+++

+++Though, now that I notice+++

+++the orb in the bag is tugging in that direction. It's like it wants to go there+++

[sblock=A guide to Prime's out of turn actions]
With all the immediate action Prime is gathering, he’s becoming a complex character to have in pbp. In order to reduce the amount of retconning, do not hesitate to use one of these actions at the first chance it could be reasonably useful, in the following order of priority. Notice that many though not all are immediate actions and are mutually exclusive (you can take only one immediate action per round):

• Blurred Step (Battlemind feature, at will). Prime can, once per turn as a free action, shift 1 when an adjacent marked enemy shifts. Use this along with Combat Challenge for maximum benefit.
• Combat Challenge (fighter feature, at will, immediate interrupt), a MBA he can make against a Marked enemy who shifts or makes an attack that doesn’t include Prime. Notice that he can push enemies up to 3 squares with this attack: since combat challenge is an interrupt, this has the potential to completely negate an attack if it pushes the enemy beyond melee range. Otherwise use the push to disrupt the enemy strategy as much as possible.
• Guardian’s counter (Encounter power, immediate interrupt), If an ally within 2 is being hit but the attack wouldn’t hit Prime or the damage to the ally would be severe. Prime exchanges positions with an ally within 2 squares, becomes the target of the attack and can retaliate with a MBA.
• Fully augmented Lightning Rush (using 2 power points, immediate interrupt): Same case as guardian's counter, when guardian's Counter can't be used. Prime can move 5 squares, becomes the target of the attack, and deals a +13 VS AC, 2d10+8 damage attack.
• Shield Edge Block (Encounter power, immediate interrupt), when he’s hit by a melee or close attack and a -4 penalty to hit would make the attack fail.
• Unbreakable (Encounter power, immediate interrupt), if hit by an attack that can't be negated by Shield Edge Block that deals 11 or more damage (he’d negate 10 with the power -which isn’t described as damage reduction-, then 1 from armor property)

If you roll any attack granted by any of these actions, don't forget Prime's Warforged Tactics feat: +1 to hit enemies adjacent to at least one ally.

OOC: I thought Sharpe had the orb? Sharpe will spend 1 surge to get to full HP.
