[D&D 4e] IG's "Those Left Behind, Chapter 4(e)"

Rogash notes the fall of the bear with grim satisfaction and concentrates on the Ettin. He continues to move (to AG27) looking for the best place to strike. The massive two headed foe continues to vex him. "Curse you, ya big bugger! Why can I not hit the broad side of a barn today."

Uulark Simental, Longtooth Shifter Cleric of Sehanine L11

Uulark calls out, May the light of Sehanine's Utter Truth consume all those who deny her Omnipotence!" As soon as he does this, a burst of divine radiance springs forth from his eyes and burns the foe!

Actions:
Minor: Sustain Spiritual Weapon
Move: None
Standard: Cascade of Light, wisdom vs. will [1d20+10] [Hit: 3d8+5 and target gains vulnerability 5 to all Uulark's attacks (save ends).]

NOTE THAT THE VULNERABILITY 5 SHOULD APPLY TO THE SPIRITUAL WEAPON ATTACK THIS ROUND, shouldn't it?
Spiritual Weapon attack: [1d20+10][Hit: 1d10+5 damage, and all allies gain Combat Advantage against the foe (+2 attack)]

THAT'S A CRITICAL HIT WITH CASCADE OF LIGHT -- 29 DAMAGE, not 15!!

Buurt takes a couple steps back and to the side, before bringing a steady arrow to bear on the Ettin and loosing it upon the same.

Shaimon Hu'u, druidic human ranger

Shai seems to stagger a moment as the club impacts him but, despite the obvious force of the attack, stands his ground.

"I ain't going nowhere I don't wanna go, you two-headed goat!" he says, fire in his eyes.

Even as Shai issues is challenge to the Ettin, Dyspeer leaps for the creature's back, though his angle of attack is uncharacteristically off, and the wolf snaps at nothing but air.

[sblock=actions]Immediate Interrupt: Bending Branch (daily utility):

Trigger: You are pulled, pushed, or slid
Effect: You negate the forced movement. In
addition, you gain a +2 bonus to your next melee
attack roll before the end of your next turn

Standard: Predator Strike

Attack: Beast's attack bonus vs. AC
Hit: 1 + beast's Strength modifier (+3) + your

Lightning crackled around Talashia's feet, searing random patterns into the ground as stray arcs of power grounded nearby her. Shazi circled faster, cackling. "I don't think he even feels it yet!"

The sorceresses expression darkened as she raised her hands, and blue-white energy sparked between her fingers.

"He will!"

Electricity sprayed out in a stream, like a wildly jerking snake of power, casting wild, livid shadows over the ground!

OOC: [MENTION=54810]renau1g[/MENTION], you're up here too. I will try to make Mondays and Tuesdays update days from now on, since I am off and will have most of the day to kill. That goes for this game and the Witchlight Strand.

Caerwyn's blade sings as the warrior continues to engage the ettin, he tries to draw strength from the continued battle.

The group closes in on the ettin, their fucused attacks slowly wearing it down. The ettin continues to focus on the dwarf as it moves Rogash backwards after a blow from its huge club. The giant steps forward and presses the attack once more, and once more Rogash finds himself again stumbling backwards. Before Rogash can regain his footing, he notices the giant coming at him once more.

Shaimon Hu'u, druidic human ranger

"We wrastlin', then?" Shai says as Caerwyn starts pushing the Ettin in return. The proposition seems to have made the man itchy, but as he scratches, his skin suddenly grows dry and scaly, and the scratching sends his flesh flaking away to be replaced with an alligator's form. The powerful jaws snap out at the Ettin as the group continues to try to take it down.

Caerwyn moves next to the Ettin, bellowing a challenge to face him, and then as he has the giant's attention, gestures quickly for Rogash to move behind it.

The warrior readies his blade for the opportune time.
