Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neil1889" data-source="post: 6271441" data-attributes="member: 100292">Rain apologies briefly to Zuri before turning angrily on her foe.Rain weaves her Aegis of Shielding over the witch Soryth in the hope  that it may save her companions from the Dream Queen's direct attacks. Then, taking a deep breath, Rain twirls her Farbond Spellblade through a complicated Kata, bringing her defence to new heights; suddenly she disappears from sight to re-appear at Sorth's side with a resounding thunderclap that blasts Soryth and blows an adjacent Twig Blight to smithereens. It is not certain, however, if Rain's sword slash strikes true and even it does, 'tis but a scratch.Powerful as it is, the Twig Blight poison soon looses its potency against the angry Tiefling.[sblock=actions]As previously noted elsewhere, Rain took 15 damage from enemy attacks landing and 5 poison damage at the start of her turn, leaving her on 32 Hit Points, +0 THP's.Minor Action: Mark Soryth with Aegis of Shielding.Aegis of Shielding (Minor Close burst 2 ✦ Arcane)Target: One creature in burst.Effect: You mark the target. The target remains marked until you use this power against another target. If you mark other creatures using other powers, the target is still marked. A creature can be subject to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a mark that was already in place. If your marked target makes an attack that does not include you as a target, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls. If that attack hits and the marked target is within 10 squares of you, you can use an Immediate Interrupt to reduce the damage dealt by that attack to any one creature by 8 points of damage.Standard Action: Uses Second Wind for healing surge (afterwards there will be 2 remaining) and 12 HP's, + 1 THP, bringing Rain to 44 Hit Points, + 1 THP. Also, this adds +2 to Rain's Defences until the end of her next turn.ACTION POINT!Standard Action: Rain uses Dimensional Thunder to teleport from I20 to H15 and attacks Soryth, who is now granting Combat Advantage - Total to Hit = <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4420064/" target="_blank">19. Potential damage a pissy minimum of 7.</a> If hits, the Sabynha's Song of Savagery will cause +4 extra damage for a total of 11.Twig Blight 4 is destroyed by the Effect and Soryth is taking 5 ongoing Thunder damage.Dimensional Thunder (Daily Standard Melee Weapon ✦ Arcane, Teleportation, Thunder, Weapon) Target: One creature. Effect: Prior to the attack, you teleport 3 squares. Attack: +10 vs. FortitudeHit: 2d8 damage and +5 Thunder damage. Effect: Each enemy adjacent to you gains ongoing 5 Thunder damage (save ends).Saving Throw at the end of her turn against Twig Blight poison, including +2 Feat bonus to Saving Throws:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4420081/" target="_blank">20.</a> Rain successfully saves.Potential Interrupts: If conditions are correct, Rain may use this:Aegis of Shielding (Minor Close burst 2 ✦ Arcane)Target: One creature in burst.Effect: You mark the target. The target remains marked until you use this power against another target. If you mark other creatures using other powers, the target is still marked. A creature can be subject to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a mark that was already in place. If your marked target makes an attack that does not include you as a target, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls. If that attack hits and the marked target is within 10 squares of you, you can use an Immediate Interrupt to reduce the damage dealt by that attack to any one creature by 8 points of damage.If an enemy attacks an ally and criticals, then she might just try:Dimensional Vortex (Encounter, Immediate Interrupt, Ranged 10 ✦ Arcane, Implement, Teleportation)Target: The triggering enemy.Attack: +7 vs. WillTrigger: An enemy hits an ally with a melee attack.Hit: You teleport the target 5 squares. The target then makes its melee attack against a creature that you choose. If no creatures are within the range of the target, then the attack is expended.Aegis of Shielding: If the target is marked by your Aegis of Shielding power, the target's melee attack deals 3 extra damage.  Guardian's Counter might be used, if it is appropriate and can cause a total miss. Guardian’s Counter (Encounter Immediate Interrupt Close burst 2 ✦ Martial) Trigger: An ally within 2 squares of you is attacked and you are not included in the attack. Effect: You and the ally shift 2 squares as a free action, swapping positions. You become the target of the triggering attack in place of the ally. After the attack is resolved, you can make a basic attack against the attacker.Rain has this to hand, should Soryth or another unleash something nasty at her:Cape of the Mountebank +1 (Armour, Daily, Immediate Interrupt) Trigger:Power (Daily, Teleportation): Immediate Interrupt. Trigger: Use this Power when you are hit by an attack. Effect: Teleport 5 squares and gain Combat Advantage against the attacker until the end of your next turn. Enhancement: +1 to Fortitude, Reflex and Will.Then there is this if Rain and an ally are both caught in an attack by a marked foe:Leather Armour of Aegis Expansion +1 (Property, Encounter, Immediate Interrupt) Trigger: Power (Encounter): Immediate Interrupt. Trigger: A creature you have marked with your Aegis of Shielding power targets you and at least one of your allies with an attack. Effect: The damage of the triggering creature's attack damage is reduced by 6.All else failing, Rain may use Infernal Wrath if no allies are hit and she is.Infernal Wrath (Encounter Free Close burst 10 ✦ Fire) Target: The triggering enemy in the burstTrigger: An enemy within 10 squares of you hits you. Effect: The target takes 1d6+4 fire damage. [/sblock][sblock=Ministats]Rain Female Tiefling Swordmage, Level 4. Initiative: +3, Passive Perception: 11, Passive Insight: 12.
