[QUOTE="ScorpiusRisk, post: 5237008, member: 41601"] [sblock=ooc]Sorry for the delay. I want to address Hadrak's question in pure ooc. Yes, the Warden thinks it may be possible to enact the ritual while in combat. Here's how its going to go down mechanically. Each turn the Warden will use his standard action on the ritual. He needs to stay within 15 squares. He will not need to roll. In order for his efforts to be any good, one person each round must assist him, a DC 20 Arcana check. Each round this is successful the demons bonuses go down a little bit. This needs to happen 5 times in order for the regeneration to be gone completely. Obviously, even a little bit helps. If an additional 2 people use their standard to assist in a round and are successful, the bonus goes down by another one fifth. So. . . Bare Minimum. You need 1 PC each round to roll a DC 20 Arcana. Standard Action. 5 rounds to takes the ritual down. However . . . if 3 PCs each round to roll a DC 20 Arcana. Standard Action. 2.5 rounds to takes the ritual down.[/sblock] Georg sees the flesh of the demon knit over and looks towards the Warden. [B][COLOR=Red]It's power is being increased by a ritual that needs many to undo. Are there those at the academy who can counteract it?[/COLOR][/B] "Yes!"

Dane gains +2 power bonus to attack rolls and a +4 power bonus to damage rolls against the target until the end of the encounter [/sblock] Dane focuses in on the demon and appears to have the advantage, for now.
