Adventure: A Tale of Two Domains (DM:Luinnar, Judge:renau1g)

Quagmire rushes over to aid Jax and Sir Exsixten, shouting encouragement. His words are inspiring, but his aim less so.

As "Bonesy" swings down with his scimitars, Andras's form is enveloped in a cloud of black smoke. The smoke parts as the blades slash through it, but Andras is much less hurt than he should otherwise be. Still, he hardly looks confident.

"Erm, hmm, how did I end up on the front line?" Andras turns around and sees most of his allies fighting one of the little biters. He fires a quick arrow into the goblyn that does little harm but throws the creature off-balance. "Please kill that thing, quickly."

[sblock=Actions]Immediate Interrupt: Yes, I think I will use Firedeath to reduce the damage on that attack to 12.

Move: Shift to S16, gaining a +1 item bonus to AC and Reflex until the end of my next turn.
Standard: Paint the Bulls-Eye vs Biter 2. Hits AC 31 for 6 damage, and my allies gain a +5 power bonus to damage rolls against him until the start of my next turn.

Immediate interrupt: If Biter 2 hits anyone with a decent MBA, I'll use Insightful Warning, which gives my ally a +2 power bonus to all defenses against the attack and allows them a MBA against the attacker.[/sblock]

Brenn fired another arrow, this time aiming at the giant skeleton. Despite the creature's size, he managed to strike it on the hipbone at the perfect angle- in a clatter of bones the skeleton tumbled to the ground.

THIS GOBLIN ANKLEFIEND IS OVER. Sir Exsixten says, stomping his foot on said goblin to free his axe. He walks over to the skeleton.

WITCH FIEND GAGA, WERE THOSE GOBLINS THE BEST YOU COULD DO? WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS BIG SKELETON THING, A BONER? He knocks a chunk off with his axe for emphasis. HM... TOUGHER THAN IT LOOKS. SIR EXSIXTEN MIGHT HAVE CHIPPED HIS AXE. OUR HERO MUST RATCHET UP THE COMING INSULT TO DEMORALIZE THE FOE!

SIR EXSIXTEN COMES ALL THIS WAY LOOKING FOR A GOOD BATTLE AND YOU GIVE HIM NOTHING BUT THIS GIANT <ROCK-HARD> BONER?

Seeing a tasty morsel, the last biter rushes in and leaps at Andras. With unusual speed Sir ExSixTen jumps in and pushes Andras out of the way. The creature clamps its jaws upon the Warforged instead just as Sir ExSixTen's axe cuts into the creature.

I am tired of playing games! yells Radaga maneuvering around Andras. You shall feel the full extend of my power! she says, blasting a dark wave of energy out of her fingertips. It rushes over Andras, Sir ExSixTen and Quagmire. Their bodies absorb the dark necrotic energies, rattling their senses.

The giant skeleton continues its assault on Andras. Being dazed takes its tool as both swords are able to pierce into him, knocking him out cold.

Dorn's face darkens as Andras is savaged, and for the first time in a while, Dorn feels raw anger coursing through his veins.

"Try me, Witch!" he curses. The half-orc moves in and bathes Radaga and her minion in flames, the force of his anger forcing the hag to the ground. (Move to S14. Burning Spray CRITS ragada (misses skele). Radaga takes 23 max fire damage, ongoing 10 damage (se) from dagger, and is knocked prone from class feature. )

Jax hops across the fallen pillar and nearly lands on top of the fallen hag. He lashes at her with his dagger, and though he aims straight for her throat, she manages to deflect the blade into a glancing hit at the last moment. Frustrated that he couldn't finish her in one strike, the kobold backs up and readies himself for the inevitable counterattack.

[sblock=Jax stat block / actions]Move: walk to U13.

Standard: Yay Dorn for knocking the hag prone, since everyone else is dazed and can't flank. Riposte Strike vs Radaga hits AC 32 for 27 cold damage. If she attacks Jax before the start of his next turn, he makes an immediate interrupt MBA, and -3 to the triggering attack if the MBA hits. (1d20+21=32; 1d4+12+1=17; 2d8+4=10)

>IC: Brenn aimed carefully and fired at the skeleton again. His arrow struck a crucial joint with terrible force, and once again the massive skeleton toppled over with a tremendous clatter.
