[Adventrue] Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks II: The Mysterious Imlach Island

[RedBeardJim]

OOC: I will be out of town and away from the Internet until Sunday.

 

[DMDanW]

Hey all - just FYI - update will come later tonight.
Thanks for your patience.

 

[DMDanW]

As Gloom shakes off the effects of the poison the Kruthik continue their assault.

Zharne and Thon feel the nasty effects of standing too close to these vile creatures as they continue to thrash about, scoring a few very minor wounds upon them.

The Kruthik that was pushed down the hole climbs back up and lunges at
Martelai with its claws. As its claws penetrate Martelai's defenses he quickly activates a spell, and the creatures lurches back in pain, lessening the severity of it's attack on him.

The Kruthik whom Gloom challenged scurries towards him and slashes at him with it's vicious claws, scoring a minor hit as well.

The other two Kruthik leave the swarm of biting insects and flank Zharne.
As one of the Kruthik leaves the swarm, Thorn drives his spear deep into its side, elicting a loud shriek. One of the two seems more interested in Thorn and takes a swipe at him, missing badly. Without the help of the other, the second Kruthik lunges at Zharne, but is unable to get past the druids guard.

All the while their chirping and chattering noise begin to get louder....

[sblock=Mechanics]
- Zharne takes 2 damage from Gnashing Horde
- Thorn takes 2 damage from Gnashing Horde
- HG2 climbs out of the hole and moves to K19. Attacks Martelai with claws; 26 vs AC for 10 damage.
- Martelai uses Delbans Deadly Attention as an immediate interrupt, 26 vs Will, hitting for 20 damage. Takes only half damage from Kruthik attack.
- Adult 2 moves to I20 and attacks Gloom with claws; 23 vs AC, hitting for 6 damage
- HG1 moves to J15, and attack Thorn with claws; 14 vs AC - Miss
- Adult 2 moves to J17, and attacks Zharne with Claws, 17 vs AC - Miss

[Banesfinger]

After catching the insect trying to out-flank him, Thorn tries to follow up with a big swing of his longspear. But the poison seems to be too much for him as he wildly misses his target.

[sblock=DM note]
Thorn had Combat Challenged HG1, so when he shifted/moved to J15, Thorn would get a Basic Melee Attack as he left the square:
Immediate Interrupt:1d20+9 (basic attack vs AC)=29 A CRIT!
15 damage + 1d6 (crit with Magic weapon)=1. Total 16 damage.
[/sblock]

[sblock=actions]
Start of Turn: Poison Damage 5, and regen 2. Total 10 hp remain (13-5+2).

Standard: Reaping Strike against HG1, with +2 flanking bonus from Zharne. 1d20+11 (vs AC)=14. Even with -2 defenses, it will still miss . Damage = 4 points on a miss.

Free: continue to Combat Challenge HG1.

End of Turn: Save vs Poison/Slow 1d20 (Save vs Slow & poison)=3. No luck .
[/sblock]

 

[RedBeardJim]

Gellan dives between the two kruthiks and lashes out to either side with his weapons as he rolls to his feet. "These creatures are tough!"

[sblock=Actions]Minor: Draw offhand weapon
Move: Shift to J-20
Standard: Attack HG2 with Whirling Rend. Hits AC 22 for 12 damage. If that's a hit, Adult 2 takes 5 damage.[/sblock]
[sblock=OOC to DMDanW]Can you tell me if that drops the hive guardian? If it does I'll be adding something.[/sblock]

 

[Neurotic]

Martelai shifts away from one of the bugs to avoid being flanked. He then focuses the attention of Caiphon toward the offending creature and small shadow passes over it.

Taking a deep breath in preparation for expected pain, he turns in a circle, causing the bug to attack his unprotected back, he summons terrible darkness of Haddar, causing even sunrods radiance to dim for a moment as the darkness blast out from him. It seems however that his miss streak continues although the one marked by Delban and Caiphon calls to Haddar.

[sblock=Actions]
Minor: Curse Hive Guardian 2
Move: shift J18
AP: Second Wind (heals 9hp, gains +2 all defenses)
Standard: Cursebite vs Fort(HG 1 (1d20+6=10); Adult 1 (1d20+6+1=15); HG 2 (1d20+6+1=27); Adult 2 (1d20+6=9)); Necrotic damage; Curse (2d8+1=8, 1d6=6) - what a terrible set of rolls luckily only hit is critical so that 8 damage becomes 17 + Extra damage (1d6=3) = 20 for a total of 26 damage

Immediate Reaction: if that drops guardian 2 (of 15 hits fort of adult 1 and 8 damage drops it) use blackleaf gauntlets and teleport to K15

Causes OA from HG 2 And Adult 1(include -2 for concealment and +2 to defenses from Ethereal Stride and +2 from second wind) for total effective AC of 23

[SBLOCK=OOC]Adult 2 Should have recieved 18 damage last round, his status show no hp lost...[/SBLOCK]

 

[Velmont]

Gloom starts to lands a flurry of blows on the Adult next to him. The creature run away in fear and Gloom turns his attention toward the next one.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Standard: Fortune Spurred Smite vs Fort on Adult 2 (1d20+9=21, 2d12+7=19) Hit Fort 21 for 19 necrotic damage.

If Fortune Spurred Smite hit:
Action Point: Holy Strike vs AC on Adult 2 (1d20+9=19, 1d12+11=18) Hit Fort 19 for 18 radiant damage. If that hit, the Adult2 move his movement away from Gloom, drawing an AoO from Gloom

If Holy Strike hit:
AoO: AoO vs AC on Adult 2 (1d20+9=18, 1d12+7=14) Hit AC 18 for 14 damage.

Assuming they all hit: 41 damages on Adult 2, adding the 18 from previous rounds, Adult 2 would be at -59 (assuming this is all hit)... I hope he is dead, or I'll regret to not have used an Ardent Vow on him.

Whatever happened:
Move: Shift to I18
Minor: Divine Challenge Adult 1[/SBLOCK]

 

[DMDanW]

AC 22 is what you need to hit the Hive Guardians, but it does not drop. It does look very wounded though......

Martelai hits Adult 1 and also drops HG2.

Hit points updated in the above status to reflect;
a) - the 18 points I missed (updated in maptools but did not update the text in the status section)
b) - Thorns immediate interrupt action.


FYI - all of Glooms attacks hit.

I'll try and throw up an official looking update today.

 

[Ozymandias79]

OOC: have you included the 9 points of damage that Leonard did with his dagger on Adult1?

The transformed Druid first claws the bigger Kruthik then he go into a frenzy and savagely bites both flanking creatures

[sblock=Action Details]
Standard Action: Grasping Claws on HG1(hits ac 28 for 14 damage and it is slowed)
AP Action: Darting bite on Adult1 & HG1(Crits Adult1 for 19 damage and hits HG1 for 10 damage <= it hits due to astral seal, no shift though)
Move Action:N/A
Minor Action:N/A

so 24 damage to HG1 and 19 damage to Adult1
