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

[Infiniti2000]

OOC: So, Aussie is lit up until the cows come home? Or, wait, it's permanent? McCoy should've gotten another +2 to hit.

OOC: Lurch isn't insubstantial? That's odd.

Bad Guys:
Aussie (ascendant hellsword, SW): 97/126hp, injured, +2 atk vs. this creature (lit up)
Lord Soth (death knight, ex-leader): 27/109hp, bloodied
Kex (eye of flame beholder, leader, SW): 23/81hp, bloodied
Heather (lamia, SW): 62/114hp, injured, slowed


Aussie recharges command deviltry ( ). He attacks both opponents with an infernal slash:

Lurch: 10+15 vs. AC+2 for 6 damage plus 10 fire, teleported to 95n30e
McCoy: 14+15 vs. AC for 9 damage plus 10 fire, teleported to 55n25e

He grants Soth commanding deviltry, who attacks Jozan, 13+20+2 for 10 damage and Jozan is teleported out.

Lord Soth shifts east to 50n25e and attacks McCoy with High Guard Attack, 6+20 vs. AC for 26 damage and -5 to attack for 1 round. McCoy lets loose with a Boneshard Burst.

Kex activates his central eye vs. Pete (minor). He shifts west again (now to 45n45e15z) and then targets Pete with a telekineses, 10+15 vs. Fort-5 misses! He fires fire at McCoy, 5+15 vs. Ref for 13 fire.

Heather fails to recharge swarm's embrace ( ) and tries to stupefy (minor) Pete, 17+15+2 vs. Will-5 succeeds; Pete is dazed 1 round (again). She then touches Pete (std), 19+14+2 vs. Fort-5, hits for 8 damage plus death beetle contagion. She shifts left again to 35n55e.

 

[Gansk]

The light goes away now that Jozan is gone. Technically, Heather cannot shift into difficult terrain, but Pete is too dazed to do anything about it.

Good Guys:
Pete (ice archon, leader): 41/117hp, bloodied, -5 def, vuln fire, dazed
Lurch (shadar-kai gloomblade, SW): 38/54hp, injured

Mel Brooks the blazing skeleton appears at 50N50E, then throws a flame orb at Kex. 12+8 vs. Ref+5, miss. He moves to 35N50E so Heather will get fried for 5 at the start of her turn.

 

[Infiniti2000]

OOC: The clarification from the module is that ranged attacks vs. prone targets get -2 on the attack. However, being prone grants CA vs. all attacks, so they cancel out.

Bad Guys:
Aussie (ascendant hellsword, SW): 88/126hp, injured
Lord Soth (death knight, ex-leader): 54/109hp, bloodied, +2 on defenses
Kex (eye of flame beholder, leader): 43/81hp, injured, +2 on defenses

Kex activates his central eye vs. Pete (minor). He takes a second wind and unwillingly flies to 90n50e0z (yes, 0z for real).

Heather recharges swarm's embrace ( ), feels the fire, and tries to stupefy (minor) Pete, 4+15+2 vs. Will-5+2 fails. She then takes a second wind.

A lot of second winds going around this round.

Lord Soth recharges High Guard Attack ( ). He ignores Mel (except the fire) and moves to 60n65e to attack Tenser with a HGA, provoking an OA from Mel, 18+20 for 28 damage plus Tenser is -5 to attacks for 1 round.

Kex activates his central eye vs. Pete (minor). He flies up to 85n40e20z. (still under the assumption that Hv makes flying up non-difficult, otherwise he's at 10z)

Heather feels the fire, and tries to stupefy (minor) Mel, 19+15+2 vs. Will succeeds, Mel is dazed. She then touches Mel, 18+14+2 vs. Fort for 9 damage but Mel ignores the death beetle contagion. She then shifts into his square as a move action for swarm's embrace, 18+12 vs. Fort for another 21 damage and still no more disease.

Only Mel has a chance to survive next round's carnage.

Kex (eye of flame beholder, leader): 23/81hp, bloodied
Heather (lamia): 54/114hp, bloodied


Aussie fails to recharge commanding deviltry ( ). He charges Pete to 70n55e and attacks with a basic attack, 20+15+2+1 vs. AC-5 crits! Pete takes 13 damage plus 15 fire (includes vuln) and is teleported out! Is that Victory?

Lord Soth fails to recharges High Guard Attack ( ). He attacks Tenser with an immobilizing strike, 8+20 vs. AC+2 hits for 15 damage and Tenser is immobilized for 1 round.

Kex fires the telekinesis ray at Mel, 9+15 vs. Fort+2 hits for 12 damage (okay, even I'm getting a little sick of these good damage rolls) and Mel is teleported to 55n60e.

Heather fails to recharge swarm's embrace ( ). She feels no fire (neither does Lord Soth, how's that for getting around the auto-fire damage--didn't plan it that way though), moves to 50n55e and tries to stupefy (minor) Mel, 10+15+2+2 vs. Will+2 succeeds, Mel is dazed. She then touches Mel, 17+14+2+2 vs. Fort+2 for 8 damage.

The Good General Baron Von Mason extends the formal offer that Good bring in the backup general, the bralani, and perhaps the final PC (the tiefling warlord sample PC for the KotS).

 

[Gansk]

A very generous offer, but Good will have to respectfully decline. The bralani will be occupied with providing housing for his minions. He offers his congratulations to the tactically superior evil forces.

As the rules of engagement are officially published, Good invites Evil to continue to share opinions and stories of their experiences in the newly transformed world where Good and Evil will continue their eternal struggle.

I wish you and your family the best and I hope we can collaborate on something in the future.
