Adventure: Just Before Nightfall (DM:johnmeier1, Judge:Ozymandias79)

[johnmeier1]

The vampire staggers under the blows and freezes in the cold. He roars I shall bury you! and slams a fist into Tonk, knocking the half-orc back. He steps forward and slams both fists into the rubble behind him. The rocks cascade down upon him and those close by, opening massive wounds on the vampire but not dropping him. With Tonk and Larinza's blood streaming down from their wounds, his face lights up with hunger and his eyes gleam red again with menace. Large rocks and stones cover the floor.

[sblock=mechanics] The vampire will use his second action point. First a single powerful slam against Tonk 1d20+10-2=24 (vs AC) for 2d6+5=12 damage. Then he shifts forward and activates a rockslide in burst 3 (catching Tonk Larinza Murphy) while he automatically takes full damage of 17 only Larinza is hit (the other two take half). The area is now difficult terrain (marked on the map as shaded rock)

Those 3 can try a DC 25 Nature or Dungeoneering check to take reduce the damage (but I don't think anyone has enough skill)

All PCs can go now, he may not get to go again

[renau1g]

Murphy just smiles as the vampire closes the gap towards him, even as the rocks pummel him, Murphy's filled with resolve from Larinza's demonstration earlier in the battle and shrugs off the worst effects. Wiping a bit of blood from his split lip, the assassin takes a step forward into Larinza's shadow, and disappears. He steps out of the vampire's own shadow and quickly draws his dagger, attempting to stab the creature in the back.

Free: 2 shrouds on vamp
Move: Shadow Step to K7
Minor: Draw dagger
Standard: Shadow Storm on Vampire - vs ac; dmg; shroud; sneak attack (1d20 12=19, 1d4 4 4 1 3=14, 2d6=6, 2d6=6) Fudge... I think that misses. Forgot Dextyr's +1 to hit so should be AC 20 for 26 damage. Damage comes from (4 dex, 4 nightstalker benefit, 1 talon amulet (attacking with CA), 3 (adjacent creatures). If it misses 1 damage from shroud...

"Stand tall my friends for Victory is near" Dextyr calls out, and sends a wave of healing magic towards Larinza. With a grin on his face he looks at the vampire. "It looks like you will be going back in your coffin for good" he taunts the vampire, while continuing his battle hymn.

[sblock=mechanics]
Minor = Majestic word on Larinza; spend HS+4 & slide to J10
Standard = Vicious Mockery vs Vampire; 1d20+5 (Vicious Mockery)=11
Minor = Sustain zone

[johnmeier1]

[sblock=renau1g] I am going to check your calculations, but I think the math is a miss:
Shadow Storm to hit +4 (Dex) +2 (1/2 level) +3 (Dagger) +2 (Flank) +1 (Dextyr) = 12

[KenHood]

//Hey DM, you did remember Tonk's temp HP, right?

By the way, I forgot to activate half-orc resilience when he was first bloodied.//

"Boo-hoo!" shouts Tonk, "Look at me! I is big, fat, poopy-head crybaby! I no can win fight, so I try kill my me by make wall fall on head! Whaaa! Well, is no good for you, fatty fat-fat fatso, because mace of me kill you, not stupid wall! Poop-head!"

Tonk brains the vampire with his mace. [Standard: Clever Strike v. AC (1d20+8+2=27); 1d8+5+2d6+1=19 damage.]

 

[johnmeier1]

[sblock=OOC] KenHood, yeah, I will give you the Half Orc resilience now since I forgot about it the first time you were bloodied too. Up 5 hp right?

Tonk is the only one to hit so far this round, but for 19 damage. Not dead yet...

Larinza, Shorrin, and Janus to go
[/sblock]

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Shorrin moves toward the girl. He walks rather slowly, as he is unwilling to let a vampire sneak up on him. His eyes dart everywhere; the floor, the ceiling, even going to far as to cast a quick look behind some of the small debris.

[sblock=ooc]

Move toward the captive girl, to J20.

1d20+3=18 Perception check[/sblock]

 

[Moon_Goddess]

Larinza stabs with her Glaive into the undead creature.


[sblock=Actions]
Standard, Wolf Pack Tactics (1d20+7+2=19, 2d4+5=10) I forgot about Dextyrs +1, so I hit AC20
[/sblock]

Just waiting on changer for Janus. Will give until tomorrow (though I am slower to update on the weekend.
