Adv: A Night at the Opera; Judge TwoHeadsBarking

[ScorpiusRisk]

Rurdev turns to the orb that tried to hurt him and slashes out with both blades at the abberant creature. The shifter's elbow strikes a seat next to him, spoiling one blow. The second blade hits the orb, cleaving off a portion of it's essence. The blessing of Hadrak gives him hope and he is finally able to shake of malady that gripped his limbs and mind.

[sblock=ooc]What kind of action is it to get the orchestra pit?

**It's only a 2 1/2 foot step. But there is a very pesky red velvet rope. Have you ever tried to step over one of those? They can be very tricky.

Let's say it costs an extra square of movement to enter if you don't use the stairs OR you can enter as part of a shift but you need to be trained in athletics or make a DC 15 athletics check.**

The statue of Mauros quickly turns to it's next enemy and heads down the central aisle. It's stone orb smashes into Rurdev and he can't get his defenses up in time.

Meanwhile, Coppernail tries to do the same with Dane and dwarf continues to bat away the blows. It almost seems to be getting easier for him. Dane's muscles seems to tighten though as one of the Cherubs moves closer to him and blasts at his mind.

Above on the catwalk, Incarnation's mind is invaded by his own enemy. As he struggles to keep the invader's back his flames flare and the nearby mote seems to flare in response. The energy is too much for him to handle and the warforged falls with a responding metal clang.

Note: That statues are large and tall. When on the stage, they can be adjacent to creatures on the 2nd floor. They are not adjacent to the 3rd floor.

The blue highlight represent fleeing masses. They are difficult terrain.

The stage is about 2 1/2 feet above the rest of the ground floor. The pit in front of the stage is 2 1/2 feet lower than the ground floor. The long hallway that Sheng and Hadrak are emerging from is at a very slight incline. The two statues on stage take up a 10 by 10 space each. The curtains are tall enough to exist on the first and second floors. The second floor is about ten feet above the ground floor.

There is no guard fail on the stairs or between H7 and I7.

Squares with with lights in them do not block line of effect but do provide cover. The walkways have metal railings.

The crowd continues to move out of the theatre, though with some distance between them and the theatre some are slowing down as they continuously turn to view what's happening. In the center aisle, the crowd has enough composure to make way for Qynn.

The statue of Mauros moves back onto the stage, reaching down into the pit after the shifter. Rurdev is hit but manages to stay on his feet. Dane is not so lucky and a serious smash from Coppernail causes him to cough blood. In spite of his injuries he still forces away the follow up blow and evades the mental onslaught of one of the cherubs.

His fellow dwarf is less likely, as the other cherub swoops from the rafters into the seats and invades his mind.

The remaining mote presses on against Rurdev, and his radiant swoop proves effective.

[sblock=ooc]S.Mauros moves to P8/Q9.
Attacks Rurdev. 24 vs AC. 9 damage. Rurdev is not knocked prone, because the DM selected the wrong ability for a reason unknown to the DM. I wouldn't take it back in live game, I'm not gonna do so here.

Qynn's Aegis does not go off again as it is an interrupt.

S.Coppernail vs Dane. Crit! 13 damage due to Astral Condemnation and Dane is knocked prone.

Follow up 16 vs AC, does not hit

Cherub 1 moves to U8, 5 ft up. This puts it in potential melee.
Attacks Hadrak. 25 vs Reflex, Hit. 7 psychic damage. Dazed (save ends)

Cherub 2 misses Dane 7 vs Reflex

Mote moves to Q11. Attacks Rurdev 23 vs Refelex, hit. 7 radiant damage. [/sblock]
