Beyond the Rerisen Tower(DM Iron Sky, Judge: renau1g)

[sblock=OOC]Coordinates for ravens don't match the position on the map, but they're in blazing starfall range regardless.[/sblock]
Realizing belatedly that he isn't doing a very good job of concealing himself, Scarmiglione draws himself up and takes a deep breath. "SQUAWK!" (The sound is even worse when you hear it up close.) Once again, there's a shower of bluish-white sparks, and the ravens are engulfed in blue flames. "Get back!" he calls to a soldier, retreating himself.

[sblock=actions]Standard: Blazing starfall against storytelling, positioned so that it's superimposed on them. Attack vs reflex, radiant damage: 1d20+8=25 1d4+10=14. 14 damage +vuln (not sure whether that should be +10 for both area vulnerability and radiant vulnerability or just +5), so 19 or 24 damage depending.

Zone on ravens, they take 2 fire if they leave it before EoNT.

Move: to E14.

Minor: move militia at G15 back to A15.

Scarmiglione will take a hit for militia. Just one this round. Then they're on their own.[/sblock]

The ravens are a little high, and she doesn't feel like drawing them in just yet. She reaches down and picks up a moss-covered rock lying on the ground next to her feet, "Hey bihdies! Ole Eithal's got summin' foah yew!"

The rock flies right through the swarm lighting harmlessly on the upper portion of the palisade, though she maintains hope that it gets their attention.[sblock=Actions]Minor: Pick up a rock

Return to the Tower, Round 1

The ravens swirl through a massive swath of the battlefield, ripping one of the militia apart and tearing into everyone it swirls past. As it does so, a smaller fragment of the flock darts out at Scarm, doing little damage except for plucking a few feathers.



[sblock=Enemy Actions]Rerisen Storytelling of Ravens: Move to G16(1 square up) <take 2 fire damage from Blazing Starfall>. Feasting Ravens: Shift through Eithal, Kaz, Militia 5, Salgyn, Yishim, Militia 6, Toeto, Militia 9, Mason, and Militia 8's squares, end in G20, 1 square up. 24 AC vs Eithal, hit, 8 damage + 2 necrotic, 21 AC vs Kaz, hit, 8 damage + 4 necrotic, 12 AC vs Militia 5, miss, 19 AC vs Salgyn, hit, 7 damage and 1 necrotic, 11 AC vs Yishim, miss, 5 damage + 1 necrotic, 25 AC vs Militia 6, hit, dead*, 22 AC vs Toeto, hit, 8 damage and 3 necrotic, 25 AC vs Militia 9, hit, dead**, 17 AC vs Mason, hit, 7 damage and 4 necrotic, and 16 AC vs Militia 8, hit, dead.

Note: I already applied the damage for these attacks. If someone can somehow get you out of the aura before the attacks happen, it won't take effect.

And holy crap that's alot of rolling for one enemy![/sblock]

[sblock=Commanding NPCs]As a minor action, you may give the militia or the Mason a command, either a minor, move, or standard action. If they leave the right side of the map, they are out of the fight.

As a free action, you make take the damage for an adjacent Militia or, alternatively, when you take damage, you make make the Militia take it for you.[/sblock]

[sblock=Terrain and Lighting: READ, IMPORTANT]Difficult Terrain: All the gray and/or gray-green rocky areas south of the palisade are difficult terrain. The Palisade squares are all difficult terrain. Squares with wagon debris (B11, I8, and I20 areas) are difficult terrain. N20+ is a 2 square tall cliff face with a palisade atop it(DC 15 to climb).

Light: We'll assume the militia have lanterns so light isn't an issue.[/sblock]

Eithal tries to stir up the flock, but her axe only seems to anger the birds. Preparing for the worst, she assumes a defensive stance.[sblock=Actions]Move: to H21
Free: Mark RRSoR

Standard: Burst of Earth's Fury
Target: RRSoR
Attack: 1d20+10+2(Flanking)=17 vs. AC for 1d12+6=9 damage +5(Vulnerable)

I'm assuming this is a miss.

Minor: Strength of Stone (DR5 and RRSoR takes -4 to attacks not including EIthal UEONT)[/sblock]

Toeto reels at the assault. She raises her arms and turns away, cowering from the swarm of birds. Her spirit companion appears on the opposite side of the flock and hisses ferociously - his shaman has been hurt! Yishim, also at risk from the swarm, feels himself infused with power by the supernatural vocalization. He leaps away from the ravenous birds and finds himself rejuvenated in the process. Toeto herself takes heart at the appearance of Sprout.

I... I have to be strong...


[sblock=Toeto stats/actions][sblock=actions]Minor: Call Spirit Companion in H20.

Standard: Voice of Battle vs Storytelling hits? Will 14 for 8 psychic damage. Hit or miss, Yishim can shift 2 squares as a free action (I'll say to I21).

Notes
Any ally adjacent to Toeto's spirit companion regains +3 additional hit points when he or she uses second wind or when Toeto uses a healing power on him or her.

[sblock=Spirit Companion rules]The spirit companion is treated as a conjuration with some exceptions.

• It occupies 1 square like an ally does.
• It is only affected by melee or ranged attacks (not close/area attacks or zones).
• It is dispersed if it takes 11 or more damage from a single blow, and Toeto takes 6 damage. It is otherwise unaffected by attacks. It uses Toeto's defenses.
• It cannot be flanked and it does not grant flanking.
• It can move 5 squares whenever Toeto takes a move action. It is not affected by difficult terrain.

[sblock=OOC]Maybe Kaz can pull it out of everyone's faces with abjure undead. G15-I17 perhaps?[/sblock]
"Out of the way," Scarmiglione says to a man who is not in his way, but who promptly runs. "SQUAA--aargh, something caught in my--" Coughing noisily, he runs daringly close to the huge cloud of ravens and makes a noise that is possibly even worse than the squawking. The high, ragged "SQUEEEEEE" is, perhaps, what a few thousand giant fingernails might sound like scraping against a few thousand blackboards. Ribbons of blue-white light balloon from the kenku's beak, winding around the swarm and destroying any birds they contact.

[sblock=actions]Standard: blazing starfall, superimposed on the unkindness. 1d20+8=10 1d4+10=14 miss, but creates the zone (2 fire damage if it leaves the zone before EoNT)

Move: to D18

Minor: militia at F2 leaves map.

AP: wave of light on unkindness (up a square so as not to nail Yishim of course). Vs reflex, radiant damage: 1d20+8=26 2d6+10=17 is 17 +5 radiant +5 blast = 27 radiant and -2 AC until EoNT[/sblock]

Reeling from the barrage of birds, Salgyn shakes his head to clear it, then barks a quick command to his horse, "Back Uyanmas! You cyannot help against these burds, but fair winds will help us much..."

Hoisting his scimitar above his as he steps back, the half-elf cries out, "Shoodah!," and as he does so a blustery gale rises, reinvigorating him as it blows past before slamming into the fell flock. "Fear not to strike the burds friends," Salgyn calls to his allies, "Healing winds vill protect you."
