[Adventure]The Eye of the Tiger(Judge: ???)

The warforged steps forward as if in answer to Venakhad's challenge. Swirling crimson fire erupts from the construct, engulfing its foes and bolstering its allies.

The smaller lizardfolk fire a hail of useless arrows at Rohna, but their larger kin are more successful. Driven into a frenzy by their injuries, the two reptiles lash, bite, and bludgeon the goliath. If not for her natural resilience, she might have been torn to shreds.

[sblock=Tondrek]From the exterior design, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly special about this warforged. If it weren't for the curious powers it manifests, there would be nothing overly distinctive about it. As such, you expect these abilities have an external source.[/sblock]

[sblock=Status]
Rohna: 29/69, bloodied, 5 resist all
Olaf: 73/85+5
Thalen: 61/82, Slowed (save ends)
Tondrek: 62/64+5
Doggie: 9/9+7, Blunted (save ends)
Gren: 33/42
Venakhad: 32/39, +2 to all defenses
Warforged: -3, -2 to all defenses, prone-able
Hunter 12: +5
Hunter 43: +5
Blackscale 38: -35+5, marked by Rohna
Blackscale 51: -49+5, bloodied, Immobilized (save ends), -2 to all defenses, prone-able
Blackscale 72: -82+5, bloodied, marked by Rohna

First, Blackscales 38 and 72 make AOs vs Rohna. The former hits with a 24 vs AC for 13 damage (Rohna's resist already applied). Then, as an immediate reaction to being damaged, they attack with Tail Swipes, which are blast 2 attacks that will include Olaf. A lot of missing, but Blackscale 72 does crit Rohna for 17 damage. Rohna is also knocked prone, or at least will be if she fails her save. What a terrible waste of a natural 20. Rohna's fine.

Blackscale 72 will show a modicum of self-preservation and not make an AO against Gren.

Doggie needs to make a save vs Blunted, which he fails.

Venakhad also needs to make his save vs Blunted's after-effect, which he passes.

The Warforged moves his current location and uses Mending Flash Fire, a close burst 5. Hits Gren with a 22 vs Reflex, Rohna with a 21, misses Olaf, hit Thalen with a 17, Venakhad with a 28, and misses Tondrek. Those hit take 7 fire damage. His allies in the burst gain 5 thp.

Hunter 12 fails to recharge his slowing attack. So instead he shoots at Rohna, missing terribly.

Hunter 43 successfully recharges his CA-granting shot, so he uses it vs Rohna, and also misses. He'll then move away from Gren.

Blackscale 38 attacks Rohna, and also misses.

Blackscale 52 attacks Mitra and also misses. But at least he's free.

Blackscale 72 stands up and, sigh, attacks Rohna, and crits! Rohna takes 21 damage and is bloodied. He then tries to bite her, hitting AC 24 for 3 more damage. I'm glad that Blackscale 72 managed to do something with his life. Now he will die, I'm sure, as he has all of 9 effective hp left.[/sblock]

Seeing Little Big Girl hit, Tondrek loads a heavy bolt and fires into the fray. Its explodes over Rhona in a thunderous blast, wrapping protectively around her and throwing the two blackscales into the air. One lands, dead while the other stumbles between the halfork and Rhona. Tondrek then stomps forward and pulls something from his shoulder. He winds it up, and the elemental mechanism sloughs over to the warrior and attaches itself to her armor, protecting her even further.[sblock=OOC]Gale Force Infusion on Rhona: She gains +5 to AC TENT Tondrek. Attacks BS72 & 38: Hits both, killing 72 and sliding 38 so it is flanked by Rhona & Gren.

Thalen still continues to be hobbled by the arrow but she channels the pain into a powerful blow as she slashes the large lizardman.

"Rohna, help Venekhad, I've got this one." she says.

The thunder that emits from the attack knocks the arrow from her leg and leaves Thalen free to move around.

Round 3

Trusting her companions, Rohna's deep crimson red cloak flares out behind her, closing all but the most minor of wounds that had afflicted the battlerager just moments before. The back of the little wind-up mechanism the artificer had attached to the goliath opens up like a pair of bettle wing covers. She is enveloped in a thick red mist, before the construct jumps off of her black armor and trundles back to its creator on tiny metallic limbs.

Olaf grudgingly trudges by the heavily wounded blackcscale and the warforged to take some pressure off of the cleric, but seems O.K. once he is surrounded by multiple opponents once more.

"As you wish, warmonger. Dol Arrah, shine down your grace, show these unworthy foes your might in battle."
the priest calmly observes as warforged and great lizard are overcome by the power of his goddess, nodding as he notices small motes of light remaining from his last attack hamper the movements of the barbarians and keeping them from evading the attack.
"Rhona, Dol Arrah watches you, let her might guide your strikes!"

He walks back toward the artificer
"Do you think we could prevail upon them to surrender instead of fighting them to the death?"

With strange, jerking motions the warforged rises to its feet. It swings its hammer, also engulfed in red flame, down on to Gren. The hunter's clothes begin to burn, and the bludgeoning itself wasn't exactly pleasant.

The archers take aim at the approaching threats. One fires an arrow at Olaf, but the projectile bounces off the beast's thick hide. The missile aimed at Gren, however, is painfully accurate.

The remaining large lizardfolk swings its club at Rohna, who hardly needs to block the attack. In a frenzy, the creature bites at Gren, barely connecting with the half-orc.

[sblock=Status]
Sorry about the delay. I had to put out some metaphorical fires.

I think the only thp I forgot was Venakhad's which I've now adjusted for. Also, I moved Olaf to his current location for Gren's attack did indeed kill Blackscale 38.

Gren's attack misses the warforged.

The warforged stands up and attacks Gren with its Heat of Battle power. Hits AC 31 for 9 damage. Gren gains ongoing 5 fire damage, that ends when Gren ends a turn not adjacent to the 'forged.

Hunter 12 misses Olaf.

Hunter 43 attacks Gren, hitting AC 28 for 12 damage. Gren is bloodied.

Blackscale 51 stands, really excited to be able to attack someone not Mitra. He still misses Rohna, but it's still a new experience! As a minor, he bites Gren, hitting AC 19 for 8 damage. He is still immobilized. Javelin of the freaking century, that was.[/sblock]

Round 4

As it struggles to regain its legs, the last blackscale isn't even looking when Rohna's massive hammer comes crashing up under its chin with so much force that olaf shifts the fighter closer to the greenscale cowering in the brush, where Kordestad find it too on the return trip from the heavens to equally devastating effect. "Is it just me, or did these things get tougher since the last time we fought them?"

The goliath's fiery eyes switch back and forth between the two enemies she has marked. Mitra shifts north a step to keep tabs on both the lizardfolk and the warforged.

[/sblock][/sblock][/QUOTE]

As the warforged moves next to Gren, Thalen leaps forward and attempts to slash at the construct, but her assault is ill-timed and easily parried.

Cursing, she draws on the dragonmark to empower her blade with the fury of the storms, but again, the warforged dodges the attack and the energy dissipates harmlessly into the ground.
