[sblock]I was really tempted to use Mirage's last daily since it had a range of 20 and was the only power he had that could have reached the two Monks (2 & 4).  But I figured using the last daily of a PCs while controlling him was a little extreme...[/sblock]The agents caught in the coils of shadows feel their energy drains away.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1833400/" target="_blank">Garrick;Varrion (1d6+3=7, 1d6+3=9)</a> The monk in the locker room, urged on by Nathan's Aegis, chase after him.  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1833403/" target="_blank">Barrion VS AC 22 (1d20+11=16, 1d8+5=9)</a> <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1833407/" target="_blank">Garrick VS AC 22 (1d20+6=16, 1d4+2=3)</a> He skillfully dodges and reach Nathan, attacking him with the dreaded gloom fist.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1833416/" target="_blank">Gloom Fist (1d20+12=22, 1d6+4=10, 1d6=4)</a> misses, recharge The monk facing Dagran takes a chance and steps back and skillfully dodge the dwarf's attacks.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1833427/" target="_blank">Dagran VS 22 (1d20+12=14, 2d6+8=15)</a> He then conjures a tentacle of shadow behind the dwarven fighter that grabs the fighter.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1833430/" target="_blank">Tentacle (1d20+10=26, 1d6+3=9)</a>[sblock]Remember that you can shift 1 square after a successful escae attempt and that an escape attempt is a move.  So if you succeed on the first try, you can still attack the monk.Also, Your encounter power was used to reduce damage from 9 to 1.[/sblock] The two monks in the corridor advance and throw ghostly shurikens at Garrick and Nathan, cathcing both.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1833436/" target="_blank">Garrick;Nathan (1d20+10=23, 2d4+3=7, 1d20+10=26, 2d4+3=5)</a> vs reflex  Finally, the hound and his handler surges forward.  The monk moves in the corridor while the hound moves inside the ritual chamber and teleports past Dagran and his tentacle.  Suddenly, it becomes completely dark in the ritual chamber, to Nathan and Dagran's dismay.The beast let outs a frightful wail that chills them to the bones.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1833511/" target="_blank">Dagran,Nathan vs Will (1d20+8=14, 1d20+8=19, 1d6=6)</a> Power recharges Dagran grits his teeth but Nathan is severely shaken. [sblock=Hound stat]First of all, there is an aura of darkness around the hound that decrease the light by one level.  So the corridor, which should now be in normal light for 20 square is reduced to dim light withing 5 square of the hound as his aura exits through the corridor and stops the diffusion of the light.  And area that are in dim light (such as inside the the chambers) are now fully dark, affecting Nathan and Dagran.  Note that the monks aren't supernaturally able to see in full darkness either.Shadow Hound Senses Perception +9; darkvisionShroud of Night aura 5; bright light in the aura is reduced to dimlight, and dim light becomes darkness.HP 70; Bloodied 35AC 19; Fortitude 20, Refl ex 18, Will 17Vulnerable 5 radiantSpeed 7, teleport 7mBite (standard; at-will)+11 vs. AC; 1d8 + 4 damage; see also shadow ambush.C Baying (minor; recharge ⚄ ⚅ ) ✦ FearClose burst 5; deafened creatures are immune; +8 vs. Will; thetarget takes a –2 penalty to all defenses until the end of theshadow hound’s next turn.Shadow AmbushWhen the shadow hound teleports adjacent to an enemy, it gainscombat advantage and deals an extra 1d6 damage on the nextattack it makes against that enemy this turn.Alignment Unaligned Languages —Skills Endurance +10, Stealth +10Str 19 (+7) Dex 15 (+5) Wis 13 (+4)Con 14 (+5) Int 6 (+1) Cha 16 (+6)[/sblock]<img src="http://dc105.4shared.com/img/74232717/8d210e48/_2__Barrage4.jpg?sizeM=3" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/74232717/8d210e48/_2__Barrage4.html" target="_blank">Download</a>Forgot to mark it on the map but the wheeling death machine is still moving south 4 square on next round.Dm1: 47/68 marked (Dagran), tentacle spentDm2 : 68/68; Tentacle spentDm3 : 33/68 marked (Nathan) ; Tentacle spent, bloodied, cursedDm4 : 68/68; Tentacle SpentLeyra: 38/49 ; grabbed, 2 healing word spentNathan: 34/66 -1 surge, -2 to all defenses until the end of the hound's turn Garrick : 28/52 ; -1 surge ; AP spent ; grabbed, Second chance spentMirage : 41/49Dagran: 52/66; AP spent, grabbed Barrion : 39/56</blockquote>
