4e Battle of Good vs. Evil: Ice Archon & Co. vs. Eye Of Flame & Co.

[Infiniti2000]

Bad Guys:
Al Gore (gargoyle, SW): 46/46hp, full
Wyatt (warrior wight, SW): 66/66hp, full
Bono (gnoll demonscourge, leader): 43/106hp, bloodied


Al Gore the emotionless gargoyle appears at 55n55e, flanking Moon, and claws at Moon, 17+15+2+2-2 barely hits for 14 damage. Moon is now bloodied. He takes an AP to attack again, 4+15+2+2, barely misses by 1.

Wyatt the warrior wight appears at 65n55e and attacks Moon with his longsword, 5+16+2, barely misses by 1 again! Wyatt is so angry, he uses up his AP to try again, 17+16+2, hits I think, for 7 damage. The followup life drain is a 13+9 vs Fort, which succeeds (but I'm curious, does the +2 from Bono apply?). Moon is immobilized for one round and gets -2 to Fort. Wyatt heals 10, which I suppose is no temporary like in 3.5e, so nothing really happens. I don't understand the rest of the ability.

Bono targets Moon, too, 13+13+2 hits for 7+7+5=19 damage and Moon is prone as well as unconscious. He steps to 70n60e.

 

[Gansk]

OOC: Bono's +2 should apply to all attacks for allies within 5, including follow-up attacks (I guess).

The wight's ability is primarily used to scare PC's low on healing, but I think it will have an effect here. If Moon was still fighting, she could use her second wind to get rid of the -2 Fort instead of healing hp. After that, she's done - any further hits subtract from Fort, and if Fort goes to 0, she is teleported out, no matter how many hp she has. The soul reaping attack is scarier - it sucks out the second wind, so the target can't use it.

Good Guys:
Moon (angel of valor): 14/57 hp, bloodied, immobilized, 17 Fort
Robert (warforged infiltrator, SW, AP): 36/66hp, injured, dazed
Getruda (grick alpha, leader, SW): 116/116hp, full
Peter (spectral panther, SW): 46/46, full

Round 49:

Robert does not recharge (1). He loops around to 60N65E, making sure he moves at least 4, and tries to revive Moon. 15+7, does it! Moon heals to 14 hp.

Moon recharges (6)! She apologizes to Robert and makes a desperate lightning strike.
Al: 13+10-2 for prone vs. Fort, missed barely.
Wyatt: 16+10-2 vs. Fort, hit.
Robert: 16+10-2 vs. Fort, hit.

Damage is Hall of Fame max, 30 lightning! Wyatt and Robert are dazed.

Gertuda shifts to 65N50E and attacks Al. 14+13, hit. Al takes 12 damage and is grabbed and bleeding.

Peter Sellers the spectral panther appears at 50N55E and shadow pounces on Al. 16+14+2 for CA, hit. 17 damage. He takes an AP and tries again. 5+14+2, miss.

 

[Infiniti2000]

Bad Guys: (this list helps things, doesn't it? )
Al Gore (gargoyle, SW): 12/46hp, bloodied, grappled, bleeding
Wyatt (warrior wight, SW): 36/66hp, injured, dazed (+4 atk/defense)
Bono (gnoll demonscourge, leader): 43/106hp, bloodied


Al Gore bleeds and claws Moon, 14+14+2+2 for 9 damage. He's still bleeding (9).

Wyatt soul reaps Moon, 16+12+2+2 vs. Fort, 11 necrotic, Moon is teleported out. Wyatt gains +4 atk/defense and then shifts southeast to 60n60e.

Bono steps southeast to 65n65e and attack Robert, 16+13 for 14 damage. Robert is bloodied by the attack! Wyatt reacts with another melee attack, 8+16+2 hits for 12 damage. Does the followup occur? If so, it's a 14+9+2 vs. Fort.

 

[Gansk]

OOC: Yes, the list helps, unfortunately I should have included Robert's +5 move bonus to AC/Ref on there. Bono still hit, but Wyatt missed. If Wyatt did hit, the follow up attack should apply. Also Wyatt was dazed, which allows only one action. He should be back at 65N55E.

Good Guys:
Robert (warforged infiltrator, AP): 38/66hp, injured (+2 defenses)
Getruda (grick alpha, leader, SW): 116/116hp, full
Peter (spectral panther, SW): 46/46, full

Round 50:

Robert does not recharge (2). He takes his second wind. He and Wyatt are no longer dazed.

Gertuda releases Al, shifts to 70N55E and attacks Wyatt. 16+13, hit. Wyatt takes 9 damage and is grabbed and bleeding.

Peter moves to 60N55E, triggering an OA from Al. He shadow pounces Wyatt. 3+14+2 for CA, miss.

 

[Infiniti2000]

OOC: I just quote this message and then edit out the quote markers. Question, though, can someone merely release a grapple? Is it not two-way anymore? Since Gertruda initiated the grapple, she can release whenever she desires without say from her opponent? Is Gertruda immobilized while grappling, too? The answer to this question has serious consequences here when considering Wyatt's abilities.

OOC: You forgot another +2 to Peter because of Gertruda's pinning grip. It still misses terribly, though.

Al's OA is a 10+15+2 for 11 damage.

Bad Guys:
Al Gore (gargoyle, SW): 7/46hp, bloodied, bleeding, statue-form
Wyatt (warrior wight, SW): 32/66hp, bloodied, grappled, bleeding (+4 atk/defense)
Bono (gnoll demonscourge, leader): 43/106hp, bloodied


Al Gore bleeds. He shifts to the east 55n60e and becomes a statue. He's still technically bleeding (4), but won't suffer damage in this state.

Wyatt does not recharge soul reap (2), obviating the need for an immediate rules answer. Wyatt attacks Gertruda with his longsword, 13+16+4+2, hits for max, 13 damage (Gertruda takes 3). His followup is an 18+9+4+2 vs. Fort, Gertruda is immobilized 1 round and -2 Fort, and Wyatt heals 10. Wyatt is still bleeding! (2).

Bono says, "Aw, crap, another grick-thing." He takes advantage of Peter's precarious position (pack attack) and steps southwest into flanking position to attack Peter, 7+13+2 misses!

 

[Gansk]

OOC: Oh, that's how you do it, much easier now.

It's not really a grapple, it's a grab. That's why the target can smash the grabber in the face. Normally the grab only lasts one round and the grabber has to try again. But Gertruda's grab lasts until the target escapes. IMO releasing a grab is a free action. The grabber is not technically immobilized, but he cannot move without releasing. If he succeeds in the following round (automatic for Gertruda), he can drag or move the target 1 square. If the target wanted to immobilize the grabber, he is free to initiate a grab himself.

I don't see how Bono is flanking anybody. Rundown of positions:
Gertruda: 70N55E
Wyatt: 65N55E
Peter: 60N55E
Bono: 60N60E
Robert: 60N65E
Al: 55N60E

Good Guys:
Robert (warforged infiltrator, AP): 38/66hp, injured
Getruda (grick alpha, leader, SW): 113/116hp, injured, immobilized, Fort 20
Peter (spectral panther, SW): 35/46, injured

Round 51: (Bono resets in round 53)

Robert recharges (4). He shifts to 65N70E and fires a debilitating shot at Wyatt.
17+15+2 for CA +2 for grip, hit. Max 18 damage + 10 sneak attack damage! Wyatt is stunned.

Gertuda squeezes Wyatt for max 13 damage, dropping him to -9.

Peter shifts to 65N50E and pounces on Wyatt for 29 damage, teleporting him out.

OOC: Your rundown on positions matched mine. I was adding the +2 for pack leader, but forgot it was the pack leader.

Bad Guys:
Al Gore (gargoyle): 18/46hp, bloodied, statue-form, +2 to defenses
Bono (gnoll demonscourge, leader): 43/106hp, bloodied


Al Gore "bleeds". He takes a second wind. He's no longer bleeding (16).

Gertruda is no longer immobilized.

Bono steps to 65n55e and attacks Peter, 2+13 misses wildly.

 

[Gansk]

Good Guys:
Robert (warforged infiltrator, AP): 38/66hp, injured (+4 AC/Ref)
Getruda (grick alpha, leader, SW): 113/116hp, injured, Fort 20
Peter (spectral panther, SW): 35/46, injured

Round 52: (Bono resets in round 53)

Robert recharges (5). He moves back 4 to 65N90E and fires a debilitating shot at Bono. 5+15, hit. 14 damage and Bono is stunned.

Gertuda shifts to 65N60E and attacks Al. 19+13, hit. Al is grabbed and bleeding.

Peter pounces on Bono. 6+14+2 for CA, hit for 25 damage.

Round 53:

Robert does not recharge (1). He moves back 4 to 55N105E and fires at Al. 13+16+2+2, hit. 12 damage, max, + 4 sneak attack damage. 9 resistance left. Robert takes his AP and fires again, 15+16+2+2, hit for 7+10 sneak attack damage (8 damage goes through.) Bono is no longer stunned.

Gertuda squeezes Al, auto hit for 7 damage.

Peter pounces on Bono. 10+14+2 for CA, hit for 15 damage. Bono resets SW.
