TURTLEDOME!: Battle Bone (DM: KenHood, Judge: Lord S.)

The rat trigger's something in the Genasi's mind.
Emral's energy lines flare up, first with fire and then other colors, a prismatic panoply of visual stimulation. The flames recede, leaving him dazed, bewildered.

[sblock=Save vs. Ongoing] 1d20=15[/sblock]

Emral's eyes swim for a moment, until his gaze locks on the Origami rats on the other side of the Chasm, targetting the Memory Rat. The bolt is a sphere of spinning geometric shapes the size of a pumpkin, which slams into the rat full in the chest.
Get away from me you... arrrgh!

[sblock=chaos bolt]
I'm assuming it hits. I hope it hits! If not, I'll edit. 1d20+4=22, 1d10+4=8 And despite hitting, I didn't roll an even number (wow, weird) so I don't get the follow up attack; which I assume I'd get if it was a miss also. weird.[/sblock]

Round 3

Round 3
Vocabulary Rat gestures at Finnian. "Fugumbulate!"

[sblock=Action]Standard: Obfuscation v. Will (1d20+6=10, 1d6+3=9)
Move: into hole[/sblock]
Finnian resists the psychic attack.

Vocabulary Rat vanishes. You can see just a teensy bit of its paper head poking out of the hole in the papier mache ground. (Superior cover.)

Finnian's turn!

[sblock=KenHood]I just wanted to warn you that I will need an updated map please. I need to know where the Vocab rat is. Also, does it have Superior cover from a melee attack, or just from a ranged attack?

Also, from here on out, I'm always shooting to knock out, not kill, in this battle.[/sblock]

Finnian concentrates all his hunting prowess on the rat next to him and his companion, Hadarai. As the ranger probes for weaknesses, he finds an opening and swings with the Sword of Five Elements and then quickly follows with a strike from his dagger.

Twin Strike (1d20+6=10, 1d10+1=5, 1d20+6=12, 1d4=1)
HQ Damage (1d8=5)

Finnian also manages to direct Erlai to attempt to distract the rat that is attacking the wizard by moving behind it.

[sblock=Combat Actions]Minor: Hunter's Quarry
Standard: Twin Strike
Erlai Move: to I6 (move to avoid an OA)
[/sblock]

[sblock=Weldon]Just a warning, I6 is in a freezing cloud and by moving there, he will take damage from the cloud.[/sblock]

Round 3

Round 3 (continued)...
Both of Finnian's attacks at the little paper rat miss.

The origami rat holds its dew-claw and first digit in a perpendicular fashion, placing them against its forehead. All the lettering on its body turns to "Ha! Ha! Ha!"

With a dismayed caw, Erlai follows his master's instruction, flying into the freezing cloud, flanking the rat...

[sblock=Freezing Cloud]v. Fortitude (1d20+5=13, 1d8+5=13)[/sblock]
And dropping from sky faster than a 747 with a malfunctioning de-icing mechanism and two drunken pilots.

Vaunea finally decides that the rats across the gap need to be dealt with, so she begins her ready for fighting. She moves against the freezing cloud and charges over the gap. No sooner than she lands than she pops into existance next to the Memory Rat and begins her attempt to maul the rats to death with her axe.

[sblock=Actions]
Move and Standard Action = Move to J4 and clear the chasm, ending up at G12 with a Charging Brash Strike, if possible. (AC 18 for 17 damage)
Action Point = Passing Attack 1 on Memory Rat hits AC 17 for 8 damage
Shift as part of hit
Passing Attack 2 on Vocab Rat hits AC 17 for 7 damage.

Crazy Roll block
[/sblock]

With an arm flex at the end of her attacks, Vaunea seems to be goading the rats to attack her.

[sblock=Marking]I have marked both the Vocab Rat and the Memory Rat.[/sblock]

"Vaunea win!"

[sblock=Doh!]I knew I should have asked for a map with the last update before I posted. Tried to hurry and post in between work assignments so I could keep the action moving. Oh well, I'll just make the save, right? [/sblock]

[sblock=Weldon]Joke! You can take back Erlai's move. [/sblock]

[sblock=Sacred Feces!]Give me a bit to digest that roll block.[/sblock]

[sblock=charge]you can't use an attack power at the end of a charge normally, only a basic attack.[/sblock]
