[Adventure] Little Workshop of Horrors (Judge: stonegod)

[TwoHeadsBarking]

[sblock=GROMkill]You can only quarry your closest enemy, so Fleshforged 1 or 2 are legal targets, but not 3. I assume you meant to target #2, since you included your Bow Expertise damage.[/sblock]

Riann strides forward to defend the other corridor. Although his attacks find nor purchase, he is still able to catch their focus.

The biped constructs lash out at those closest to them with surprising accuracy. Some attack with blades and vicious-looking hooks bolted directly to their flesh, while others attack with their bare hands. Regardless of their weapons, they are able to distract their targets from any other foe. Worse still, the construct that had been badly damaged by kal'Tarron seems to be rapidly restoring itself, cables and metal plating moving to cover ruined flesh.

Meanwhile, the two misshapen constructs begin to arch their backs, as though they were horrific cats with far too many legs. Electricity begins to build up along the rods across their backs before being discharged down the corridor into the group of adventurers. Venakhad and Belanaar easily dodge the first such attack, but the second catches the elf, along with Canus and kal'Tarron. Fortunately, the blast was not a strong one.

Riann moves up and Swordbursts on Fleshforged 2 and 4, but misses both. With rolls like that, it's like ren's here in spirit. He then Aegises Fleshforged 2.

Fleshforged 1 uses *cough* Fleshforged Resolve to gain 14 thp. It then attacks kal'Tarron, hitting AC 24 for 10 damage, and kal'Tarron is marked until the end of the Fleshforged's next turn.

Fleshforged 2 shifts and attacks Riann, hitting AC 31 for 6 damage, and Riann is marked.

Fleshforged 3 charges Canus, hitting AC 28 for 8 damage, and Canus is marked.

Fleshforged 4 attacks Riann, hitting AC 31 for 10 damage and overriding its fellow's mark.

Flesh Mortar 1 attacks Venakhad and Belanaar with an area burst 2 attack, to no avail.

Flesh Mortar 2 attacks Belanaar, Canus, and kal'Tarron with a similar attack centered on J9. Belanaar is hit with a 22 vs Refles, Canus with a 23, and kal with a 21, for an amazing 6 lightning damage each.[/sblock]

OOC: [MENTION=82251]TwoHeadsBarking[/MENTION] Sorry to bother you again with the mention tags, but I had an important question to ask. For my Disruptive Strike, which is an Immediate Interrupt, am I able to use it after the fact, like right now? Or should I specify at the end of my turn, that if an enemy attacks, I'd like to interrupt it, and have you roll the dice? Sorry if it's a stupid question, I just am confused how Immediate Interrupts translate into PbP. Also, what you assumed was true, sorry for the hiccup.

GM: Immediate actions are a little tricky to convert to pbp. I prefer it if you put immediate actions in your previous turn. However, I didn't tell you this before, so if you want to use Disruptive Strike then go ahead.

kal'Tarron swings his axe again. He feels his blow miss, but then a sense of great age comes over him and he feels an older, wiser, version of himself reverse the swing and hack into the flesh of the creature in front of him.

OOC: Avenging Echo on Fleshforged (1d20+12=14, 1d20+12=18, 1d12+6=18) use Memory of thousand lifetimes (1d8=4) bonus to hit roll. Memory of thousand lifetimes (1d8=4) Hits AC22 for 18 Until the end of my next turn, any enemy that ends its turn adjacent to me, or that hits or misses me takes 5+4(int) radiant damage

Belanaar grabs another two arrows from his quiver, and then closes his eyes. With a chant too low for anyone else to hear, he mumbles to his greatbow, "Kylthas'tel, lend me your frozen powers. Perchance these fiends don't take well to your might." Pointing at the dismembered contraption of a creature with the tips of his arrows, Belanaar shakes his head menacingly and draws an open hand over his neck, in a cutting motion. With a shout, he nocks the two arrows and fires them with uncanny speed and accuracy.

The two arrows spiral through the air, spitting frost and a slight mist behind them as they slam into the strange husk of a creature and seem to impede it a bit. The young elf clasps his hand into a fist and shakes it in the air at the creature, a fleeting tinge of success creeping over his bitter spirits. This small victory seems to clear his mind of worry and gives him an edge, something to hold onto in this terrible situation. His mind is more at ease, he is more alert, and he crouches a bit, making himself a smaller target.

As the fleshforged's strike digs into Canus's shoulder, the man smiles, and suddenly turns to ice, shattering under the blow. A few feet away, he appears behind his original target, ice still clinging to his form. He then slashes upward with his sword, fey magic still flowing from the blade. The otherworldly ice digs into the abomination, the cold seeming to pierce its very mind.

[sblock=mechanics]
Move: Ethereal Stride to H5
Standard: Piercing Shard on FF1

I'm assuming that's a hit. 15 cold and psychic damage, I am invisible to the target until the start of my next turn , and +2 to my defenses until the end of my next turn(from Ethereal Stride). Ha, mark this, fleshDORK!

ooc: [MENTION=24380]Neurotic[/MENTION] is up.

 

[Neurotic]

"Dol Arrah, guide my companions blades against these aberrations!"

Answering the priests call, the area around deva and that strange human starts to glow. The emanations burns one of the flesh forged, but both enemies are clearly illuminated for easier striking.

The glow tingles at Canus flesh, but holy fires aren't focused on him (this time).

[sblock=Actions]
Move: J9
Standard: Divine Glow vs FF1 Ref; FF3 Ref; radiant damage (1d20+9=12, 1d20+9=19, 1d8+5=10) - kal'Taron and Canus have +2 power bonus to hit TENT (blast 3)

[/sblock]

 

[TwoHeadsBarking]

[sblock=neurotic]Divine Glow is a close blast 3, right? You'd need to be in J8 to catch Canus in it. I moved Venakhad there since you had the movement to get there. And being in J9 wouldn't protect Venakhad from any of the attacks that come his way anyway.[/sblock]

Riann catches both his foes in an arcane flourish, then steps back, ready to counter future strikes.

The fleshforged seem to have slowed down after the impetus of their initial attack. One of them flails at kal'Tarron only to be downed by holy light. The others maneuver in a manner that implies more intelligence than that found in simple zombies. But the only result of such is a light wound suffered by Riann.

The other constructs, however, are much more effective. Almost simultaneously they arch their backs before sending vicious blasts of electricity into the the center of the intersection. The energy arcs through adventurer and construct alike, leaving nearly everyone staggered.

[sblock=Status]
Belanaar: 20/40, bloodied
Canus: 17/40, bloodied, +2 to all defenses, +2 to next attack roll
kal'Tarron: 28/56, bloodied, 9 radiant to foes who attack or end adjacent, +2 to next attack roll
Riann: 38/62, marked by Fleshforged 4
Venakhad: 26/49

Fleshforged 2: -46/56+9, bloodied, Quarried, Aegised, Cursed
Fleshforged 3: -33/56, bloodied
Fleshforged 4: -12/56
Flesh Mortar 1: -9
Flesh Mortar 2: -9

Riann Curses Fleshforged 2 and swordbursts again, this time hitting both for 7 damage. Fleshforged 2 takes an additional 1 damage. He then shifts to F12.

Fleshforged 1 attacks kal'Tarron. Natural 1, and then it takes 9 damage and dies. Whoops, the link says that targeted Venakhad. Wrong strange holy person.

Fleshforged 2 uses Fleshforged Resolve to gain 14 thp. It then moves and attacks Riann, coming very close to hitting. It also takes 5 more damage from White Lotus Riposte.

Fleshforged 3 moves back a square, then charges Venakhad, but misses.

Fleshforged 4 moves back and charges Riann, hitting AC 33 for 8 damage and Riann is marked. Oh, and the Fleshforged takes 5 damage from WLR.

Flesh Mortar 1 moves up and shows a callous disregard for the well-being of its fellows by centering an area burst 2 on I9. All are punished. Erm, I mean, hits Venakhad with a 25 vs Reflex, Belannar with a 28, kal with a 28, and Fleshforged 3 with a 25. You all take 14 lightning damage. Belannar and kal'Tarron are bloodied. The Mortar takes 9 radiant damage.

Flesh Mortar 2 does the same thing, only centering its attack on I7. This time it's a bit better. Venakhad is hit with a 26 vs Reflex, Canus with a 29, Venakhad is missed with a 14, and the poor Fleshforged is hit with a 27. Those hit take 9 damage. Canus and Fleshforged 3 are bloodied. The Mortar takes 9 radiant damage.[/sblock]

In the face of such powerful assault, Venakhad falls back to what he does best, healing.

He moves back from the fleshforged and raises his hands in supplication.
"Lady of Honor protect us. Heal your faithful and help us overcome this obstacle." he intones and the blast of holy radiance blasts out of his form. He lays hands on himself and another blasts follows the first fortifying his friends.
