Trapped in Hell's Basement (DM: Mal Malenkirk Judge:Covaithe)

Ashir stands up, dusts his robes off and as the dwarf is ducking under Haruka's eldritch blast, another fireball explodes around him and there's nowhere for the dwarf to escape to this time.

"Nice work Haruka! Next time I'll distract him for you" Ashir shouts jovially, as he again drops down low. "I'm really getting the hang of this now" the genasi thinks to himself, a wide grin on his face.

[sblock=Haruka]
Yeah.... IC doesn't like warlocks... I don't know why I even tried to change Murphy's class to get that taint off of him, but it was to no avail.

After this adventure is done I'm thinking to retrain one of my Daily spells to Summon Dretch and was wondering if maybe we could do an RP thing at the end of this? Haruka's got the connection to the infernal side that Ashir would need to be able to complete the summons and it makes more IC sense than just ok I got rid of Rolling Thunder and now can summon an Oni.

Haruka can't help but smile, not unkindly, at the genasi's enthusiasm.

[sblock=ren]Hah! That should be interesting. Sounds like a plan. You know, assuming we make it out of here.[/sblock]

Paladin's Judgement[/sblock][/QUOTE]

Sheng turns and smiles to the intact dwarf crossbowman. With a couple of movements, spinning his arms around and crouching backwards, gathering the foul magical vapours and then sprinting forward to let lose the green skull of gas.
The dwarf attempts to shoot a bolt to the gaseous creature, but the arrow goes right through, and then lunches forward, into the dwarf. In the eyes of the dwarf he sees as his clan and family are tear apart by Onis and other demons; he sees their entrails being taking out by the demonic creatures, and can't help but to scream in terror.
The illusion subsides just in time, a miscalculation from the monk.

The wizardress ducks away and throws a powerful bolt right at Raiko's head.

Ashir stands up and tries to finish off the wounded dwarven archer, but his blast barely causes the enemy to sweat.

"There we go Haruka, he's all yours" Ashir jokes as he again drops down low

"Raiko, let's finish him off!" Max charges the wizard striking down hard with his sword, putting a hug divit in the mage's forearm, much to his dismay. "That's for hitting me in the back!" says Max as he grins menacingly at the wizard.

[sblock=AP Bravura Presence]

Bravura Presence

When an ally I see spends an action point to take another action to use it as an attack, the ally can choose to take advantage of this feature before the attack roll. If the ally chooses to do so and the attack hit, the ally can choose to make a basic attack or a move action as a free action after the AP action. If the AP attack misses, the ally grants CA to all enemies TENT.

Sheng continues his assult on the dwarves. He calls forth the green vapor skull again, with zealous moves and strict discipline. His hands waving the enthrophy as they move in the air, like encompassing the harmonic move of wind. He outstreches his arms towards the dwarf he had recently attacked. The horrible visions returned to the young dwarf. Terrorized, he shots his crossbow, just to fin that he had shot his partner dead. Sheng smiled at the outcome, but in that moment, something went wrong. The veins of his head puffed strongly, an intense pain stroke the sorceror. He began to screan, holding his head. The green vapor came out from his mouth ears and eyes, until a blast of unsean energy from his head pushed everything and everyone surrounding him away. The extensive use of the chaos had take it's toll on the monk. Gasping, he allows his body to drop prone.

[sblock=Chaos Bolt]Uh, Voda, I don't think that's quite right. First of all, Chaos Bolt's followup attacks only have a range of 5. The dwarves are more than 5 squares apart, so Chaos Bolt couldn't jump from one to the other. Second, the way you rolled on IC was attack attack attack damage damage damage, not attack damage attack damage attack damage. So the uncursed dwarf only took 13 damage. Finally, Chaos Bolt's secondary attacks don't add your Cha modifier to damage, so I think they'd just be 1d6+4.[/sblock]

Haruka looks around in bemusement as her allies willingly fall to the floor. "What, tired already? But I'm just getting started!" she jests, her eyes sparkling with both merriment and cruelty, her voice that of a child. She grins wickedly at the burnt dwarf, who suddenly convulses violently and collapses. Haruka's eyes go wide. "No, not you too!" she laments with what sounds like genuine disappointment. "Well, maybe your friend will be a better sport." She giggles manically and starts moving towards the other dwarf.

[sblock=Actions]Standard: Eyes of the Vestige the cursed dwarf. Crit #3. Man, what is this? Some times IC rolls high, other times it rolls low! It's like it's some type of random number generator. Anyway, the D1 dwarf takes 11 + 8 + d10 damage which I'm not going to roll because he's dead. I gain 7 thp.
Move: Move to J6, retain concealment.
Minor: Curse the remaining Bolter.

Also, if Haruka was hit for 10 damage last round, then she would be at 37/46 at the start of her turn, not 41/46. Sheesh, whose side am I on, anyway?[/sblock]
