Roll 18+6=24, definitely enough to hit Kathra. Damage is 1d8. Roll 3. Kathra takes 3 damage, the first 2 points coming from the temporary hit points Erias granted her in round 1. Kathra is now down to 26 hit points.</p><p></p><p><strong>Erias</strong>: Decides to call upon the sunlord’s might and smite the priest with his daily power <strong>Cascade of Light</strong>, +4 vs Will defense as a standard action, but however also decides to spend a free action to trigger his <strong>Channel Divinity: Power of Amaunator</strong>, which is an encounter power that allows him to add an extra 1d10 damage to any power that he uses, and if the power deals half on a miss it as well deals half damage. Roll 9+4=13 vs Will, not enough to hit, however it still deals half of 3d8+4 + half of 1d10. Roll 6+2+3+4=15 for a total of 7 radiant damage, plus another 1 point from the Amaunator for a total of 8 damge. The priest was already bloodied so he must be hurting at this point. Erias decides to spend his move action to move to a better position behind Kathra, which is also good enough to put Tira within 5 squares of him, allowing him to spend his minor action to use his encounter power <strong>Healing Word</strong>, which he can use twice per encounter. It has a close burst 5 so it can target anyone within 5 squares of Erias. This triggers one of Tiras Healing Surges and also heals an additional 1d6+4. Roll 4+4=8. So, Tira heals 7 points (which is her healing surge value) plus 8 more from Erias’ healing word for a total of 15 points, bringing her almost to full value. She’s now back at 27 hit points, but is still on fire. “I told you not to mess with the mother f’ing Sunlord!”</p><p></p><p><strong>Kobold Minion</strong>: The kobold minion uses a move action to move towards Kathra, then spends a minor action to shift one square to try and start setting up a flank. This, however, triggers Kathras combat challenge which allows her to take an immediate action to attack someone that tries to shift near her. Roll 2+6=8, not good enough to hit the Kobold. The kobold then takes its standard action and attacks Kathra with its spear. Roll 20+5=25. That’s a crit. If it wasn’t a minion Katra would be feeling the burn right now, but as it is, Kathra only takes 2 points of damage from the minion crit. Normally a crit does max damage, but the kobold minion only does a set amount of 2 damage per attack. Kathra is now down to 24 hit points.</p><p></p><p><strong>Kobold Dragonshield</strong>: The kobold dragonshield takes 5 acid damage from Skamos’ Acid Arrow and he is now bloodied. He then uses a minor action to shift 1 square around Kathra, Kathra has already taken her immediate action this turn so cannot use her Combat challenge ability again. The dragonshield then uses a move action to shift again 1 square around Kathra and then lashes out with his shortsword. Attack vs AC, the dragonshield has mob attack and gets a +1 bonus for each kobold ally adjacent to his target, there are 2 allies adjacent to Kathra so he gets +2 and he also is flanking Kathra, which gives him combat advantage to her so another +2 to his attack roll. The Kobolds total attack bonus is at +11 now. Roll 9+11=20 that’s good enough to hit Kathra. Damage is 1d6+3. Roll 2+3=5 damage. Kathra is now down to 19 hit points. The dragonshield also marks Kathra with this attack, so if Kathra attacks anyone but the dragonshield she’ll suffer -2 to her attack rolls. At the end of the dragonshields turn he rolls a saving throw to try and shrug off the ongoing acid damage. Roll 4, the dragonshield is still burning with acid. He needed to roll a 10 or better.</p><p></p><p><strong>Kobold Wyrmpriest</strong>: The priest uses his minor action to Incite Faith. “Rise up and destroy my enemies!” This grants all the kobolds within 10 squares of the priest 5 temporary hit points, and allows them to shift 1 square. The dragonshield, and skirmisher remain in flank of Kathra, but the dragonshield is now next to Erias as well. The dragonshield and the skirmisher are no longer boodied. The priest then uses a move action to move up to Kathra and manages and then uses his standard action to to breath on Kathra and Erias. It’s a close blast 3 and he can hit them both. It’s +6 vs their Fortitude defenses. Roll 10+6=16 vs Kathra and 11+6=17 vs Erias. They both are hit by the flaming breath weapon and take 1d10+3 damage. Roll 2+3=5 damage. Kathra is now down to 14 hit points and is bloodied, Erias is down to 19 hit points.</p><p></p><p><strong>Tira</strong>: Tira takes 2 fire damage and is now at 25 hit points and is no longer invisible to the priest. She moves 3 squares closer to the slinger to gain concealment from her shadow walk ability, using her move action, and then decides to use her standard action to use her encounter power <strong>Witchfire</strong> on the priest, which is +4 vs Reflex defense. “Time to die dragon bitch!” Roll 17+4=21, that is good enough to hit the priests reflex. Damage is 2d6+4 fire damage +1d6 additional damage from the warlocks curse 1+2+4+4=11 damage to the priest. The priest is severely wounded. The additional effect of witchfire is that the priest will take -4 on all attack rolls until Tiras next turn. Tira is now closer to the slinger and uses her minor action to curse the slinger. Tira rolls a saving throw to try and put the fire out again. Roll 3, fail. Sheesh burn baby burn.</p><p></p><p><strong>Skamos</strong>: Feeling safe at the back of the cave and with lots of range, decides use his at will ability <strong>Magic Missile </strong> on the priest using his standard action. Its +5 vs reflex defense. Roll 19+5=24, way above the priests reflex defense. It does 2d4+5 force damage. Roll 2+1+5=8 damage. The priest collapses as the missile hits him in the chest. Feeling lucky, Skamos, decides to burn an action point to give himself another standard action and uses his at will power <strong>Magic Missile </strong> against the dragonshield. Roll 19+5=24 again, defiantly higher than the dragonshields reflex defense. Damage is still 2d4+5. Roll 4+3+5=12 damage. The Dragonshield is now bloodied again. As a move action Skamos takes a bow and flips off the kobolds.</p><p></p><p><strong>Kobold Slinger</strong>: Seeing Kathra’s weakend state, the slinger uses it’s standard action to fire at Kathra. There is no penalty for firing into melee and allies do not provide cover against ranged attacks. However, enemies would, so if the slinger was firing at the back ranks of a formation he would suffer a penalty. The sling decides to use his fire shot again, loads the sling and lets it fly. Roll 2+5+7, that’s not good enough to hit the broadside of a barn. The slinger decides to stay behind the altar, mutters something in Draconic and flips of Skamos.</p><p></p><p><strong>Kathra</strong>: Finally it’s Kathra’s turn. She’s marked by the dragonshield so if she attacks anyone but the dragonshield she’ll take a -2 to her attacks. She’s also down to having only 14 hit points. So first she decides to spend a minor action to use her <strong>Second Wind</strong>, all characters can use second wind once per encounter to trigger a healing surge which will heal them their healing surge amount and also gives them +2 to all their defenses till their next turn. Normally a second wind is a standard action, but for dwarves it’s a minor action. So Kathra heals 8 points, bringing her back up to 22 hit points, only 11 points from max. She then uses her standard action to use her encounter power <strong>Passing Attack</strong>, basically it allows her to attack an opponent, shift one square and then attack a second opponent. It’s a +6 vs AC, she decides to attack the dragonpriest. Roll 20+6=26, that’s a crit! “WOOT!” The dragonshield takes max damage from the attack which is 1d10+5 points of damage. So the dragonshield takes 15 points of damage and collapses to the ground. Kathra then shifts 1 square and then uses her secondary attack of her <strong>Passing Attack </strong> power to attack the skirmisher. This attack is +8 vs AC. Roll 10+8=18, that’s enough to hit the skirmisher. Damage is 1d10+5. Roll 3+5=8 damage to the skirmisher, which means he’s bloodied again.
