The Jade Frontier (DM: Ukingsken, Judge: Lord Sessadore)

Yishim, reinvigorated by Shayla's divine healing, is stunned to see his wounds close up and rushes forward towards the stream.

Brenwar, the slinger was yelling into the waterfall. Don't let him escape!

He then loses a bolt of shadowy energy which forms itself into a grasping arm. It passes the slinger and dissipates as it crashes into the waterfall.

Darting forward, Firete draws her sword and slashes at the dragonshield. As she does, she looks at Miranna. I may be able to stop him from attacking you for a lark, could you immobilise him if I do this?

[sblock=Combat Actions]Move I1 to I4. War Song Strike 1d20+8=28 OOOH! A Crit! Damage 1d8+5=13 Max Damage! I need to be careful here. [/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]I am thinking I could cast Fast Friends on Miranna, which means the dragonshield can't attack her until the end of my next turn or someone else attacks it. Could we immobilise him then? Like tie him up?[/sblock]

[sblock=TwoHeads] Hey, I thought I pulled the Dragonshield to I4 with my Cutting Words attack. If this is the case, I move to I3 instead[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]The Dragonshield would have to be helpless before you could tie him up. Even if he can't attack he could still resist Miranna's attempts to hogtie him. Luckily, there's a fairly low-maintenance way of knocking someone out. Just say you're doing non-lethal damage to him, and if you're the one who drops him to 0 hp, he falls unconscious rather than dead.

Katana, you edited the pull out of your previous post, so I thought you didn't want to do it. So the Dragonshield is actually in I4. He's also bloodied, and any ally who attacks him gains 3 temp hp.

Also, Brenwar's attack bloodies the slinger.[/sblock]

Cheysuli Sage

A gust of wind plays around the tree nearest Brenwar and Yishim causing torrent of golden leaves to fall from its boughs. The autumnal leaves coalesce into a dainty purple haired tiefling, who gives a small wink to Yishim; "Now you see me!" she jests "I will not let him get away."


Cheysuli turns her attention to the wounded slinger; "You cannot escape us pesky creature; you are doomed to die at our hands!"
Chey summons an eldritch bolt and looses it at the lizardling before moving toward the river with hopes of surrounding him.

[sblock=Actions]Free - Misty Step to E11
Minor - Curse Kobold Slinger
Standard - Eldritch Blast (1d20+4 = 22 vs. Ref; 1d10+4 = 8 damage)curse damage (1d6 = 1) Edit: add another +1 to that attack roll for Bloodhunt, which i keep forgetting about.
Move - Move to I11 keeping concealment from Shadow Walk[/sblock]
[sblock=OOC\KO]I vote we knock out the Dragonshield too.[/sblock]

Miranna tried to acknowledge Firete with a nod of assent, but most of her attention was fixed on the dragonshield. She spun her sword in a tight arc and the lightning faded away from the blade's edge. With another swirling cut, there was a faint rumble of distant thunder, nearly lost in the noise of the waterfall. She slashed at the creature, but her blade bounced off the heavy shield...

OOC:
Attack the dragonshield with Booming Blade (going for non-lethal damage). Attack 1d20+7 vs. AC= 14 (miss); damage 1d8+4= n/a; rolls Roll Lookup ; dragonshield is still marked with Aegis of Assault.

Shayla takes a step back from her attack. A moment later, the kobold is engulfed in silvery flame and Yishim feels slightly fortified.

The kobold fighting Miranna finally manages to slip past her defenses. The reptilian creature snickers and rasps out in crude Allarian: "First blood."

The kobold with the sling decides to forgo Brenwar'a armored frame in favor of Yishim. He skirts around both men's guards to deliver a shallow cut to the wizard.

The kobold in the circle throws another javelin, this time at Yishim. However, even with the magical enhancement, the attack goes wide.

[sblock=Status]Initiative:
22: Shayla (20/20+4)
16: Yishim (15/22)
15: Dragonshield (-27, bloodied, Aegised)
15: Slinger (-22, bloodied, Cursed, used two gluepots)
15: Minion 53
15: Slink (-27, dead)
15: Chey (26/26)
4: Brenwar (22/29)
4: Miranna (20/29, marked by Dragonshield)
3: Firete (28/28)

Shayla shifts to C6 and casts Sacred Flame on Minion 13. It hits and Yishim gains 2 temp hp.

The Dragonshield attacks Miranna and hits for 5 damage and Miranna is marked by the kobold until the end of its next turn (like it matters).

The Slinger shifts to G12 and then to G11 and attacks Yishim, hitting for 5 damage.

Minion 53 throws a javelin at Yishim, and misses.

Kobold rolls.[/sblock]

Special: The Slink cannot be targeted with a melee or ranged attack unless it is the closest target.[/sblock]

Miranna stepped carefully around the dragonshield, forcing it to divide its attention. With that distraction, she looped a wide cut just inside its shield- and again, there was a rumbling echo as of distant thunder...

OOC: Shift to I 5, flanking with Firete to gain CA. Attack dragonshield with Booming Blade again (nonlethal damage); 1d20+7 vs. AC= 17 (+2 for CA= 19, hit); damage 1d8+4= 10; rolls Roll Lookup ; If the dragonshield is adjacent at the start of its turn and moves away it takes 1d6+2thunder damage

ooc: That drops the Dragonshield.

OOC: If the dragonshield falls, Miranna will use her minor action to mark the remaining minion with her Aegis of Assault- with her move it should be in range. Probably won't matter, but it can't hurt.

Firete smiles at Miranna. That's done it, now for the other. I'll draw him out of the circle and right toward us. She quickly sidesteps and points her wand at the kobold in the stone circle. Get out of there! Face us directly, you coward!

[sblock=Combat Actions]Virtue of Valour: +3 temp hp to Miranna.
Move to K3.
