[Adventure] Hysteria's Ascendency (Judge: Stonegod)

[MENTION=6672544]jsb420[/MENTION], can I use immediate interrupt to teleport 2 on minion's attack? I realize this is more retroactive, it would save Orsik only 8 damage (minion attack and bite), but it would prevent loosing a surge...


"Muzdum, no! That's what he wants. LEt Quan and Braddock deal with the mage, we drop this piece of sewer filth and THEN we gang up on the dolly. Focus on Baldwin!"

With most of her primal incantations used, Rikka turned to the weapons she had used from her earliest days. She tucked her totem into her belt, then fired and arrow at Baldwin- the eerie radiance which surrounded the wererat leader made it an easy shot, though the arrow wound was a comparatively minor one.

"Ye won't get the best of me rat!"

Braddock storms forward up the steps and invokes the power of the ancient goblin general in a mighty arcane blast with shakes the golem soundly. Crafty like a goblin, Braddock is no longer where he was before the attack.

"Cover ye ears, elf," he mutters and he lets roar a cacophany of sound that sounds like a goblin battle charge. The golem is not affected by the sound, but Jessup is battered about.

[MENTION=88601]FourMonos[/MENTION], I believe curse damage is also maximized? At least nobody objected when I accounted it for my drow...it's like sneak damage

GM: [MENTION=73730]johnmeier1[/MENTION]: Same type of damage so only ongoing 5, only 1 save (for ongoing). One save for each condition allowing a save. So first roll: 20 vs. Hex: Quan is not hexed anymore. Second Save vs. OG 5: miss, so still taking OG 5. No more weakened, as it ended after the monster’s last post.

[MENTION=87106]MetaVoid[/MENTION]: I assume you want to teleport after Baldwin’s attack, thus avoiding the minion’s free attack and bite on its turn? Okay, let me know which square.
Orsik: (RETRO: +8hp, +1HS) contracted Filth Fever; OG 5 (save ends)

[sblock=Bracers of Escape][FONT=&quot]Power (Daily): Immediate Interrupt: Trigger: Orsik is target of a melee attack. Effect: Teleport two squares.[/FONT][/sblock]
GM: [MENTION=87106]MetaVoid[/MENTION]: As an Immediate Interrupt, the power is triggered by a condition (as I'm sure you know) and any effect happens before the triggering condition. Orsik's attack triggered Baldwin's Immediate Reaction (Triggering Slash) which in turn triggered Orsik using Bracers of Escape. In this case, I would say that Orsik teleports out of range of Baldwin's attack and subsequent (now dead) minion's free MBA, so that means you gain another +6hp (Baldwin's attack missed).

Teleporting to Q21 would put you back on ground level; P18 on same level as Muzdum and Baldwin. Go ahead and add your position in your post. You're up.
 

OOC: P18 so I can shift back

PROTECTION: adjacent allies have resist all 2
all allies have +2 power bonus to damage TENT
all allies within 3 squares of Baldwin heal 7 hp if he attacks anyone


Orsik slides close to Baldwin and crashes his weapon into the lycanthrope. Multiple runes swirl in the air, some blood red, some blue and some gold.

[sblock=Actions]
Move: P19
Minor: Rune of Mending on self for surge + extra healing (1d6=1) = 16 - all allies have +2 to damage TENT Orsik
StandarD: Symbol of the Wrath Reversed vs AC(Baldwin); damage (1d20+12+2=33, 2d6+6+2+2=13) - hit, if Baldwin attacks anyone everyone within 3 squares heals 7 hp

Quan returns to human form, shifting to the elf before spinning about to strike Jessup and the golem. His hand slaps Jessup in the face before his leg kicks into the golem. He pushes the arcane wererat along then quickly darts away, moving carefully to avoid their strikes. (HIT & HIT)

"Thinking that thing will save you Baldwin? Hahaha! Yer so dead already....But I'll destroy yer collection of tiny weapons before sending you down to the ground, filthy bastard! Look at this!" Muzdum says, as he moves to cut down the golem. However, he stumbles on the stair steps, and his cut goes too soon. (MISS)

With most of her primal incantations used, Rikka turned to the weapons she had used from her earliest days. She tucked her totem into her belt, and then fired an arrow at Baldwin- the eerie radiance which surrounded the wererat leader made it an easy shot, though the arrow wound was a comparatively minor one. (HIT)

"Ye won't get the best of me rat!" Braddock storms forward up the steps and invokes the power of the ancient goblin general in a mighty arcane blast with shakes the golem soundly. Crafty like a goblin, Braddock is no longer where he was before the attack. "Cover ye ears, elf," he mutters and he lets roar a cacophony of sound that sounds like a goblin battle charge. The golem is not affected by the sound, but Jessup is battered about. (CRIT; AP – MISS & HIT)

Orsik slides close to Baldwin and crashes his weapon into the lycanthrope. Multiple runes swirl in the air, some blood red, some blue and some gold.
GM: Your Symbol of the Wrath Reversed healing is only 3 hp not 7 hp (unless there is errata I am unaware of).
The bonus to damage from your Rune of Mending effects everyone except Rikka (close burst 5)

Baldwin seems to wince and shake a little bit as his lycanthropic disease start to speed his healing unnaturally (regenerate 5 hit points, except Jessup (Silver)).

Baldwin reels with the goliath’s attack. ”You big brute, try the other on for size, then I’ll stab your body when it’s done with ya. But first I need to teach this dwarf a lesson!” Baldwin shouts at Orsik. Baldwin lashes out at the dwarf, but Muzdum anticipated the attack and ducked under the errant swing, and Muzdum strikes back. (MISS)

Ears still ringing from Braddock’s sound wave, Jessup has a clear view of Muzdum and fling his curse the dwarf’s direction (shouting really loudly for some reason). Then he sends twin bolts of searing light to lance out at both Quan and Rikka, taking their vision as well as drawing blood. Jessup quickly crawls away from the deadly elf duo. (HIT, HIT; AP – HIT)

The golem staggers forward almost drunkenly, causing its chains to flail about it in a defensive aura. The animated creature’s movement creates an opening that Muzdum was looking for. Always one to answer quickly with a punch, Muzdum lashes out, but the creature ambles on unimpeded. Orsik also manages a swipe at the golem, hitting the creature solidly. The golem raises its hammer-hand and quickly strikes out behind it, glancing Muzdum but forceful enough to push the dwarven fighter back and almost off the platform. Its flailing chains lash out at Orsik before he can act. (HIT)
[sblock=Aura and Immediate reaction]AURA: Remember, all enemies that start their turn adjacent to the golem take 5 damage. Please keep track of this damage. I’ll try to include any fluff in the golem’s actions.
Berserk Attack (At-Will): Immediate Reaction: When the golem is damaged while bloodied (ranged or melee); the golem makes a blade hand attack against any target that is adjacent to it; Blade Hand: Reach 1; +16 vs. AC; 2d8+5.
GM NOTE: If there is only one target available when your PC hits the golem, go ahead and make that attack roll with your post. If there are more than one target, I will make any attacks triggered by this power.[/sblock]
GM: @VodaVosa: Opportunity Attack against Unholy Weapons Golem (AC 24): Grappling Strike: +12 vs. AC; 1d12+10 and Muzdum then grabs the target. The grab ends automatically at the end of your next turn: 1d20+12=17, 1d12+10=19 MISS
Save vs. forced movement: 1d20=7 - Fail
Save vs. falling from platform: 1d20=10 – Make
You can decide if you fall prone at the edge (Q20) or fall to the cavern floor (Q21) for no damage as it is only a 5-feet drop. Post your decision along with your post.

[MENTION=87106]MetaVoid[/MENTION]: Opportunity Attack against unholy weapons golem (AC 24): +12 vs. AC; 2d6+6 damage: 1d20+12=29, 2d6+6=15 HIT for 15 damage
