[Adventure] Kingmaker (DM:renau1g; judge: garyh)

Ruarc kicks one of the downed bandits as he looks around the battlefield, then closes rapidly with the archer to his east.

Mari utters a string of black sailor's oaths as the rabble move on Elurian and she takes a step back. Blowing on her palm her breath condenses in a fog as if the air were much colder. The cold wind builds and swirls around Kressle. The Spirit companion takes on an icy demeanor, swirls out of existence only to reappear on the opposite side of Kressle and slam into the lead bandit with startling cold leaving a rime of frost over her. Mari smiles wickedly at the success of the attack.

[sblock=Actions]Wrath of Winter (At-Will Standard Ranged 5 ✦ Cold, Implement, Primal, Teleportation) Shaman Attack 1
Target: One Creature
Attack: +4 vs. Fort
Hit: 1d10+4 Cold Damage and you can teleport your spirit companion to a space adjacent to the target.

Note that Mari will call on World Speakers Command if Kressle tries to move away:
World Speaker's Command (At-Will Opportunity Melee Spirit 1 ✦ Implement, Primal, Spirit) Shaman Feature
Target: One Creature
Trigger: An enemy leaves a square adjacent to your spirit companion without shifting
Attack: +4 vs. Will
Hit: Target stops moving and must use different action to to resume moving.
[/sblock]

OOC: Please ignore the damage roll since it was a crit, damage will be 14 cold to Kressle.

The dazed druid shifts backwards to be nearer Mari. Calling upon his reserves, his elbows jerk as if in surprise and primal forces call forth the fears of the attackers making their hearts quail. The druid has done his best but the forces of Nature seem to be against him as he is unable to penetrate the will power of his attackers or shake off his daze.
[sblock=actions]Shift one square to the south. Action Point. Visions of Blood (Encounter Standard Close blast 3 ✦ Divine, Fear, Implement, Psychic)Target: Each creatures in blast.

That is two nat 1 on attacks in a row and two missed saves.

Mid-Round Update, Faustus & Ezmerelda to still go

Ruarc kicks one of the downed bandits as he looks around the battlefield, then closes rapidly with the archer to his east.

Mari utters a string of black sailor's oaths as the rabble move on Elurian and she takes a step back. Blowing on her palm her breath condenses in a fog as if the air were much colder.

Faustus, Tiefling Avenger of Lauto

Faustus again attacks M2 with his at-will Radiant Vengeance, (which opponent is just at the edge of his range). This attack is vs. Reflex, still. Misses, still, too, dagnabbit!

[SBLOCK=OOC]
Just a reminder for everyone that you'll get another AP after this fight (i.e. reach another milestone) and you can only spend 1/fight. There's no benefit to hold them either as they reset to 1 after an extended rest. Just saying...[/sblock]

Faustus again attacks the man, but fate seems to be protecting the bandit as the blast of divine light flies above his head.

Ezmerelda follows her foe down and attacks him.

[sblock=Easy's actions]
Frigid Blade (1d20+7=17, 1d8+4=11) hits for 11 & -3 speed TENT
[/sblock]

The archers fire their deadly crossbows at the heroes, causing wounds on Ezmerelda and Mari.

The last bandit drops his club and runs at full speed the other direction.

Kressle tumbles quickly away from the spirit companion and moves quickly next to the goliath, her hatchets drawing a deep wound on Ruarc's hamstring, nearly felling the giant.

Faustus, Tiefling Avenger of Lauto

Faustus advances to S13 and uses Radiant Vengeance (at-will) against the same target [M3] AGAIN.

Ruarc, startled by the sudden appearance of the bandit Kressle at his back, screams in agony as her hatchets cut across his hamstrings. He tries in vain to cut her, hand axe lashing out at her face and battle axe at her guts, but both blows come up short. The big man's legs crumple as his failure hits home and he falls to the ground.

Mari

Mari once more sends a cold wind blowing toward the fray. Her spirit companion appears adjacent to the archer who just attacked his master. The cold bites into the archer's flesh. "Perhaps you'll think twice before attacking me again," she says with a chuckle. Despite her effectiveness she continues to reel from the previous attack.
