[Adventure] Dive into Darkness (Judge: stonegod)

[ScorpiusRisk]

Cairn takes the attacks in stride, not really expecting this to be easy.
"Moving skeletons? Bah, like moving rocks, just more fragile! Now let's see..."
He swings at the big thing

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Earthgrasp strike vs Big One (1d20+9=20, 1d10+5+4=10, 1d10+5+4=11) If hit, he's prone (6 cutting +4 cold damage) and cannot stand up until Cairn's TENT. After that whenever he does get up he gets second damage(7+4cold)

**hit**

Free: mark both big one and #1

Move: If attack hit, move to H2, mark both adjacent, move to F1, crouch
If attack missed, just shift to I1 and crouch

**The gray squares are outside the map. Solid wall. So where did you want to move?**

Minor: warforged resolve regaining 5hp and gaining 5tmp hp

OK, here it goes:
Assuming cyclops cannot make OA while he's down and I'm on the wall: Move to H2, mark both giant and #1
AP: Nature's abundance covers E2-K6 square (burst 3)


Nature abundance gives cover to Cairn and his allies

Sorry for all those contingencies. Contingencies resolved

"Moving skeletons? Bah, like moving rocks, just more fragile! Now let's see..."
He swings at the big thing and as Ghalad Zar connects the floor rumbles and cracks open under Cyclops feet toppling it over and squeezing caught extremities.

Cairn moves and on his call dust and pebbles from the floor whip up into whirlwind, obscuring him from archers view

Filo hopped onto the teleportation circle and once he appeared in the treasure room decided to immediately back away from the big undead thing in front of him. Seeing large cracks beginning to form on Cairn he yelled "Stand fast my Elemental Ally! Help has arrived!" and laced his words with Jorasco healing magicks to seal the fissures caused by the undead attack.

[sblock=ooc]Move: Shift to Teleportation Circle U5
Std: Shift to K2 (Treasure room Map)
Minor: Majestic Word on Cairn; he gets a Healing Surge +6[/sblock]

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: You could take standard without fear of the giant, he'll be prone until Cairn's NEXT end turn. And you've already seen the effect so there's IC reason not to shift...if you want.

 

[hero4hire]

OOC: Cant block the portal dude! Gotta let the gang through.

[sblock=ooc]I am going to wait one more day, or one more party member before posting.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Congratulations. You are now the dynamic duo. I have adjusted the encounter appropriately.

Something has happened to Elec and Euphie that you don't know about yet.[/sblock]

Unable to move, the cyclops struggles in the foliage below. The two closest skeltons drop their bows and engage our two heroes with their swords. One manages to dig into Filo's arm before the remaining guardians take fire. They apparently did not take their aim with them into the undeath.

[sblock=ooc]Skeleton 1 attacks Cairn. 7 vs AC Miss.

Skeleton 2 moves to K3. Attacks Filo Crit. 4 damage

Skeleton 3 and 4 vs Cairn. Both Miss[/sblock]

Skeleton 5 and 6 vs Filo. Both Miss

[hero4hire]

Filo jabbed his sword at the skeleton next to him. He quickly found that thrusting his blade at a skeleatal opponent had little effect as his sword passed skittered harmlessly between his opponents ribs.

[sblock=occ]OOC:
Going to go ahead and post before I leave tonight since there are only two of us.

Std: warsong strike vs skeleton (1d20+9=11, 1d8+5=6) That will miss I bet.
Mov: Nada
Min: Nope[/sblock]

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: this assumes all effects originate from Cairns position. If you rule that secondary attack goes under the skeleton, change thunder-ram assault to Weight of Earth and cyclops is slowed TENT, no push. I believe this push gives you good excuse for us finding plenty of useful (for others), but unfortunately broken, stuff I don't know how difficult terrain affects large creatures, he's two squares in. If he needs to be within fully, tough luck

Seeing skeleton still standing after Filo attack, Cairn decides to clear their side of the battlefield. He slams his halberd down crashing it into prone giant. Stone floor ripples after the slam and small ram-like ripple travels along the ground pushing the skeleton next to Filo into the wall shattering it.

[sblock=Actions]
Free: mark cyclops and #1
Standard: Thunderram assault vs AC (1d20+9=26, 1d10+5=10) - pushed 4 squares to F7-G8 avoiding teleport circle (doesn't look like it can get out, but why risk it.
Secondary: Thunderram assault secondary vs Fort (1d20+10=22, 1d6=6)
Move: shift to I2
