[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5207645, member: 11437"] [b][color=gold]The Broken Altar - Round 4[/color][/b] Seeing the adventurers closing in, the cloaked adept is forced to back away from the altar. It makes a few calculations and decides that getting closer to the broken altar isn't worth the risk. Instead, the adept invokes words of dark power and commands the wisps to do his bidding. Both wraiths, emboldened by their erstwhile master, strike true. One slashes the dwarf priest across the back, causing Jhani to stumble forward. The other attacks the axe-man, and strikes past Hamil's shield, drawing more lifeforce from him. [sblock=Shadecloak Adept's Actions]The Shadecloak Adept is subject to Thalnek's [i]divine challenge[/i] and is BLOODIED. The Shadecloak Adept uses [color=green]Shadow's Command[/color] (Std/At-Will/2 Allies in the Close Burst 5) to grant standard actions to both of the remaining Wisp Wraiths. One Wisp Wraith attacks Jhani using [color=green]Shadow Caress[/color] (Std/At-Will/Melee touch). Attacks Reflex and hits for 4 necrotic damage and Jhani is [i]slowed[/i] until the end of his next turn. Jhani is BLOODIED. Jhani (9/25 HP + BLOODIED + [i]Slowed[/i]). One Wisp Wraith ([i]marked[/i] by Hamil) attacks Hamil using [color=green]Shadow Caress[/color] (Std/At-Will/Melee touch). Attacks Reflex and hits for 4 necrotic damage and Hamil is [i]slowed[/i] until the end of his next turn. Hamil (25/31 HP + [i]Slowed[/i]). The Shadecloak Adept shifts 1 square away from Syl (move action).[/sblock] Lira speaks dark words of power, which definitely gets the attention of Jhani and Thalnek Grudgeborn. A dark aura appears over the other wisp. All of the adventurers' current enemies are now enshrouded with this strange dark energy. Then, Lira shouts more strenuously words of ineffable darkness, causing both of the remaining wraiths to explode! The adept, burning from the unexpected attack, seems to be somewhat less affected, but still reels from Lira's dark magic. [sblock=Lira's Actions]Lira has a +2 power bonus to attack rolls from Jhani. Lira uses her [b]Warlock's Curse[/b] on the other Wisp Wraith (minor action). Lira uses [color=red]Cursebite[/color] (Std/Encounter/Attacks all cursed enemies in Close burst 20). Attacks Fortitude: Wisp Wraith (both are hit and DESTROYED) and Shadecloak Adept (hit for 11 necrotic + (Warlock's Curse) 3 = 14 damage). The Shadecloak Adept seems to resist some of the necrotic damage. Lira moves 3 squares away from the dais (move action). Lira (18/25 HP).[/sblock] While Jhani is perhaps too wounded to do anything about it now, the dwarf priest stores some pointed questions for their new companion. Jhani grits his teeth and regains his composure, focusing again on the shady adept. Jhani presents his holy symbol and emits radiance in a beam of light focused on the adept, striking true. The adept stumbles back, trying to keep his footing. "Go now, my allies," Jhani says. "Finish this." [sblock=Jhani's Actions]Jhani is BLOODIED and [i]Slowed[/i]. Jhani uses his [color=red]Second Wind[/color] and regains 6 hit points (minor action) and a +2 bonus to all defenses until the end of his next turn. Jhani uses [color=red]Divine Fortune[/color] to grant himself a +1 bonus to his next attack roll (free action). Jhani attacks the Shadecloak Adept using [color=green]Astral Seal[/color] (Std/At-Will/Ranged 5). Attacks Reflex and hits. The Shadecloak Adept takes a -2 penalty to all defenses until the end of Jhani's next turn. The next ally who hits the Shadecloak Adept 9 hit points. Jhani (15/25 HP).[/sblock] Syl carefully examines her situation and, wishing to prevent the adept from escaping down the hallway, hopes to finish him before he takes a step. She looks to Thalnek, who is edging ever closer to the shadow creature. [sblock=Syl's Actions]Syl [i]delays[/i] her action. Syl (15/22 HP).[/sblock] Thalnek moves in, facing down the adept. "The Shadow is the way of corruption!" Swinging his mighty craghammer, Thalnek brings it down on the adept's "head", dropping the adept to the floor. The dwarf looms over the fallen adept. "See now where you have failed, monster." [sblock=Thalnek's Actions]Thalnek is [i]Slowed[/i]. Thalnek shifts 1 square adjacent to the Shadecloak Adept (move action). Thalnek uses [color=red]Divine Strength[/color] to gain a +3 bonus to his damage roll on his next attack this turn (minor action). Thalnek attacks the Shadecloak Adept using [color=green]Valiant Strike[/color] (Std/At-Will/Melee wpn). Attacks AC and hits for 12 damage. Thalnek regains 9 hit points. The Shadecloak Adept is defeated! Thalnek (27/28 HP).[/sblock] [b][color=gold]END OF ENCOUNTER 2[/color][/b] [sblock=Game Notes]Encounter 2 was worth a total of 600xp, or 100xp per PC.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
