[sblock=Spending an AP in the Presence of Max: Please Read]

Battlefront Leader Power

Any ally within three squares of max can shift 1/2 movement speed as a free action.

Bravura Presence

When an ally Max sees spends an action point to take another action to use it as an attack, the ally can choose to take advantage of this feature before the attack roll.

If the ally chooses to do so and the attack hits, then the ally can choose to do the following after the AP action:
* make a basic attack +1 to hit (due to feat: improved bravura)
or
* make a move action as a free action +1 added to ally's speed for movement (due to feat: improved bravura)

If the AP attack misses, the ally grants CA to all enemies TENT.

Clearly worth the risk

minor: inspiring word on Draglin: HS + 2d6 = 6

OOC: Draglin spend 2 surges when he rolled a 20 on his death save, so he at 34 HP with 0 surges left. Thanks anyway

 

[dimsdale]

OOC: Draglin spend 2 surges when he rolled a 20 on his death save, so he at 34 HP with 0 surges left.Thanks anyway

OOC: arrgghh! sorry Luinnar. I'll give the inspiring word to someone else them. Nice save on the death saving throw. Max would have had Draglin's back if he would have failed the save.

Devinihm, wilden druid

Devinihm's swarm cyclones, its numbers quickly multiplying in response to Max's inspiration.

OOC: Thanks, dimsdale I'm assuming Devinihm can spend 2 surges: one for the Inspiring Word, and one for the other power? If not, I'll lower his HP by 12.

[sblock=resources]HP: 44/51
Surges: 2/11
Action Points: 0/1
Daily powers used: Demon-hunter's boon, Summon Giant Toad, Wall of Thorns
Encounter used: Call forth the Spirit Pack, Voyage of the Ancients
Stinging Swarm: Once per round when an enemy damages Devinihm with a melee attack while he is in beast form, that enemy grants combat advantage to him until the end of his next turn.[/sblock]

Tail slap and bite coming for Max. First rolling to see if the dragon dies on its turn. Looks likely. Hope this still felt like a challenge. Dragon only had two turns.

 

[Luinnar]

OOC: arrgghh! sorry Luinnar. I'll give the inspiring word to someone else them. Nice save on the death saving throw. Max would have had Draglin's back if he would have failed the save.

OOC: Draglin is going to hide in Max's bag of holding if that is what it takes to keep them adventuring together I love the extra attack with a spent AP, the free attacks, all the Warlord goodies.

 

[johnmeier1]

The dragon, trapped by thorns, whips its tail at the leaping Max. As it strikes the warlord, his sword glows and inspires the nearby Dante to let fly his kama. It buries in the exposed back of the dragon and the creature slumps dead in the passage of its escape.

OOC: The battle is won! Rewards calculation in progress (note the large horde)

 

[johnmeier1]

A gigantic pile of gold and treasures, including a demonic looking suit of armor and a pair of mystic patterns set in an arcane fabric. Much more gold than could have come from the stores of the Baron, though you also notice the circlet he mentioned was missing.

[sblock=pacdidj]Mab knows the fabric can be used to make tattoos[/sblock]

[sblock=Rewards]
I used renau1g's Excel chart to calculate XP, so it is very accurate but I realized not easy to copy and paste into here so here are the totals INCLUDING Time XP and GP (note, there is more Time based rewards and a quest reward in this adventure!)

Player dimsdale XP 3126, Gold 1982
Iron Sky XP 3126, Gold 1982
Luinnar XP 2999, Gold 1399
pacdidj XP 2999, Gold 1399
nerdytenor XP 2734, Gold 728
jkason XP 2734, Gold 728

Treasure is: Boots of Striding (heroic tier), Sure Shot Gloves (Heroic Tier), Backlash Tattoo, Backlash Tattoo, Cloak of Distortion +2, Demonscale +2 (all 9th level all but the Boots were from wishlists, since Devinihm did not have a wishlist I picked one)

Treasure is: Cloak of Survival +2, Sure Shot Gloves (Heroic Tier), Backlash Tattoo, Backlash Tattoo, Cloak of Distortion +2, Demonscale +2 (all 9th level all but the first Cloak were from wishlists, since Devinihm did not have a wishlist I picked one)

OOC: And now I see the importance of them; wound up with something for one of the only two magic item slots (neck & hands) Devinihm's already using, lol.

Max grabs his blade and cuts the head off of the dragon. As the other heroes look bewildered by his actions he replies. Huh?...Oh...This is for proof that we found the culprit that was causing all of the problems and then eliminated it...hmmmm...I think I'll take it to the tavern to mount next to the others. There's a blue and a black one there already. I've not seen a red one.

After doing the messy deed the warlord's attention is directed to the horde of treasure, specifically the scalemail. Unceremoniously dropping the head onto the floor, Max walks over to the armor suite. Hmmmm...I could use this!

OOC: I'm guessing that the scalemail was for max right? if so, thanks Johnmeier1. I love the power it has. It will definitely come in handy
