Adventure: Get Me to the Church on Time (DM: BenBrown, Judge: Renau1g)

[sblock=ooc]Zardi doesn't need stone's endurance. Everyone except Tyris already has resist 5 all from Goldenhorn.[/sblock]

Goldenhorn gives a mighty heave and hauls his leg out of the pile of debris. "Stay with us, ancient ones," he intones, and the ghostly minotaurs continue to stand protectively over their charges, almost hugging them. "Old Mother Flärke, your aid for this stranger--and stranger, know that the eyes of my kinfolk are upon you."

[sblock=actions]Standard: get free of trap

Move > Minor: Rune of Mending (rune of protection) on Tyris. Tyris can spend a surge. All the good guys get +1 to all defenses until EONT from rune of protection.

Minor: sustain Moment of Glory. Goldenhorn, Eraden, Graval, Spider, and Zardi have resist 5 all until Goldenhorn stops sustaining the power.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Ah, forgot about that, thanks![/sblock]

 

[Tenchuu]

Spider takes a moment to survey the field.

OOC: Just going to use my second wind this turn and see what happens next.

 

[VanderLegion]

[sblock="BenBrown"]I'm just waiting on Eraden to take his turn before I go. If he does, I'll post my turn, if he doesn't post and you NPC him, feel free to NPC Tyris either falling unconcious from the poison/ongoing damage, or else shifting back and using second wind to get more health back if he gets healed or the bees get moved[/sblock]

 

[Mewness]

[sblock=VanderLegion]Whoopsie, I didn't realize Tyris was so close to going down. I'll edit my post to have Goldenhorn heal him instead of moving.[/sblock]

 

[VanderLegion]

[sblock="OOC"]That works too[/sblock]
Tyris breathes a sigh of relief and nods thankfully to Goldenhorn as the healer mends some of his wounds, then flinches in pain as he again is subjected to the swarm of bees. He can feel the poison seeping into his bloodstream. Keeping a wary eye on the swarm, Tyris slowly takes step backward out of range, then turns and moves behind a tree to (hopefully) relative safety where he can bandage some of his wounds.

[sblock="Actions"]Goldenhorn's Turn: Healing surge: +6 hp
SoT: Poison (ongoing): -5 hp, Aura: -5 hp

Tyris fails to become hidden, which in the event is probably a good thing, as Eraden can see him. Eraden may not know this newcomer but he recognizes a soul in trouble. He approaches Tyris, and divine power emanates from his hands. He then tries to help Tyris fight the poison, but this does no good.[sblock=Ally Actions]Spider
Standard: Second Wind, regain 6 HP, +2 to defenses

Eraden
Move: to H10
Minor: Lay on Hands on Tyris. Tyris regains surge +4 (10) HP
Standard: Heal check to grant Tyris a save. (1d20+4=7) fail.[/sblock]The elk makes a break for it, rushing away from the swarm, and past everyone, nearly trampling Spider, who jumps out of the way in time, and rushing off down the canyon. It takes a few stings on the way, though.

The swarm of bees, deprived of elk, sweeps up and attacks Graval, as does the other swarm of bees whose attention he's attracted. Their pesky stings do not penetrate the Dwarf's thick armor and tough hide.

The great big frog, seeing tasty bees to the left and tasty bees to the right is momentarily confused, and decides to split the difference. A long sticky tongue shoots out and latches on to the Dwarf, but Graval's sturdy form is not pulled in as far as the frog would like.[sblock=enemy actions]That Poor Elk
Takes 5 HP from ongoing poison, 5 from starting in aura
Standard: Trample. The Elk moves to F13-G13. On the way:Trample (Ref) vs. Spider (1d20+4=14) miss.
Move: to F23-G24 (off map)

Bee Swarm #2 Opportunity Attack vs. Fleeing Elk (1d20+7=17, 1d8+5=7)
Save vs. Ongoing Poison (1d20=16)

I'm going to assume you're kind-hearted folks that won't attack an elk that has done you no harm. Still, if you want, make an OA and I'll retcon.

Move: to G3

Mallaby is not a fully trained fighter. He will only defend himself on his own. He will however, follow orders.
As a minor action, any character can have Mallaby spend an action. He can't use more than the usual complement (standard, move, minor) in one turn, but a PC's minor action can be used for any of them.

Try not to get him killed. He is paying for this, after all.[/sblock][sblock=enemies]That Poor Elk: AC 13, Fort 15, Ref 13, Will 10

"Spider! Attack quickly while I send out my call--do not fear, my ancestors will protect you from the stings."

[sblock=ooc]Waiting for Spider to get into a nice blast 3 formation with the two swarms so that I can use my one AoE power on both and buff everyone while I'm at it.[/sblock]

GM: Since the bees don't have any aura boost abilities, I'd apply their auras separately.
