GM: 1. [MENTION=24380]Neurotic[/MENTION] Regarding (BUT if Bosch -2 from being immobilized is cumulative with prone penalty he still misses because his roll is 28 ) If it is my call, I say not cumulative. If a judge wants to chime in to tell me that I'm wrong, by all means do so . Until then, Rocco takes the damage and ongoing 10 plus -4 AC (save ends). Also, Neurotic had a bunch of triggered immediate actions. Vimak took some damage but it was negated by his temp hp so I assume you don't want to swap rocco and vimak's position. Let me know.

Bosch, after taking another brutal attack from the dwarf, unloads on the party. As Rocco moves to a new position, Bosch's tail hits him square in the chest, knocking the wind out of the dwarf and flinging him backwards. Another blast of acid spews in the direction of Nementah, Quan, Vimak and Xerzuzu. All take damage, but Quan and Nementah take direct hits. The dragon then stands, still restrained by the power of magic of the branch. This doesn't stop the great dragon from reaching its massive claws in the direction of Rocco and the paladin. The dwarf ducks away from the attack, but the paladin is not so lucky. The dragon smiles wickedly at the heros, obviously please with the carnage it had done. Bosch then speaks to Nementah.
I know not the magic cast on me shaman, but know now that I shall soon be freed when you and your allies die...heh heh heh.
The dragon's laugh is all that can be heard as Bosch's last action is to enclose itself as well as those around him in total darkness. Those encased by the darkness find themselves virtually blinded by the darkness.

[MENTION=79956]dimsdale[/MENTION],

OOC: Did I miss some damage to my temp hp? Nementah should also have 22thp like Xerzuzu and resist 5 so total damage should be 31 -5 -22 = 4hp

OOC: I agree, I only looked at the line 31 - 17...and 5 from 22 went from ongoing. Sorry about that. On related note: 3 crits for the dragons!?

 

[dimsdale]

GM: [MENTION=87106]MetaVoid[/MENTION] My calculations show that Nementah had 17 temp left from last round. I took -5 off the original 36 damage to make it 31. I think the math is correct

 

[MetaVoid]

OOC: I agree, I only looked at the line 31 - 17...and 5 from 22 went from ongoing. Sorry about that. On related note: 3 crits for the dragons!?

Nementah tsk-tsked at the dragon.
"No magic, Bosch. I am sidhe lord and this forest obeys my will through this branch of life - if you want to survive this, come and get it!"
She swirls the branch through the air as she sings short phrase in sylvan. The wind picks up and blasts through the darkness. Not seeing if the dragon is affected as this is not really what this spell is for, she looks over her companions to see if they are cleaned of the foul acid.

"Quan, touch Primera!" as the hunter obeys, life giving energy flows from the spirit, essentially restoring the hunter to his original state and even restoring some vitality to the paladin.

Finally, she and her guardian move away from the melee

[sblock="Actions"]
Take 10-5 = 5 damage; Xerzuzu takes 10

Standard: Cleansing Wind of the North vs Fort (Bosch); cold damage (1d20+15=34, 1d10+6=11) - everyone but Sharpe can make saving throw at +5

Minor: Healing spirit on [MENTION=88601]FourMonos[/MENTION]/Quan for surge +18 and either gain +2 AC & Ref or shift 1 as free action; [MENTION=45437]JRYoung[/MENTION]/Skaliss heals surgeless Healing spirit bonus (2d6+3=7)

Move: Nementah to D8, Xerzuzu to I7; Primera stays put (granting everyone adjacent +1 to NADs - Quan and Skaliss)

Nementah save; Xerzuzu spell save; Xerzuzu save (1d20=6, 1d20+5=6, 1d20=14)

[Luinnar]

I can't see, I'm blind! Help help help! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sharpe screams, causing the dragon to flail around trying to knock him off.

I can see! Sharpe says as the dragon stumbles out of the cloud. Must of had my eyes closed again...

Now dragon, lets get out of here! he shouts, kicking his heels into his mount.
[sblock=Gromit, Draconic]
Foolish mortal, I shall eat your flesh of you and your companions! the Pact Dragon rages, flying next to Vimak to get a bite.[/sblock]

What? I can't hear you! I just remembered that there is a dragon in that dark cloud! Sharpe shouts over the sounds of battle.

Here dragon, dragon, dragon, Nice dragon! Come to Sharpie! Sharpe shouts, causing allies to flee, teamates to heal, and temp HP to rain like a summer storm (some things just happen too fast to know exactly what happened).

OOC: Turn Summary: Xerzuzu, Vimak and Primera get to flee from the madman slide 5 squares as a free action. Quan spends 1 surge, gains a surge worth of HP and a surge worth of THP (overrides but not stack with other THP) Every ally besides Sharpe and Quan gains 14 THP!

[MENTION=44459]Luinnar[/MENTION], you may want to move the center of your "move field" a bit to the right, Xerzuzu will use your shift, but only to escape and Primera cannot shift (not a creature)

Xerzuzu shifts to E7, unless Luinar changes this...
