Adventure: Lord Byron's Lost Silver (DM: Tenchuu, Judge: H.M.Gimlord)

[Mal Malenkirk]

[sblock=IG]If you are looking at some ranged sneak option, the walls offer good opportunities in combination with deft strike.

i.e.: If you move at J13 you are out of sight of the Wraith at F11. Then you can use Deft Strike to pop at J15 and sneak attack him with a thrown attack. The 2 square move are part of the attack and thus allow you to keep the hidden status until after the attack is completed.

Many variant of this maneuver are possible, especially with the enemies at D15 and H6.

Carolina takes note of the position of the cold-powered zombie as she heads towards a to mask her own position. Drawing her dagger, she flips it over in her and as she steps out again and throws it. Her aim being true, the dagger returns to her waiting hand as she looks for more advantageous positions on the battlefield.

[sblock=Actions]
Move: 5 squares to K13
Standard: Deft Strike vs. Chillborn; move to I15, hits AC 32 for 20 damage (Roll Lookup)

Note #1: I didn't bother rolling for stealth since my minimum score would meet the zombie's passive perception.

Note #2: Thanks for the advise, Mal!

Wil uses Kruk's attack to shift to a ranged position. Get up Kane, the fight is still on. I think you should tackle the boss man. The bard laughs as he shoots an arrow at he evil priest. As the strike grazes the man a crack of thunder sounds from outside, ominously.

[sblock=OOC] Kruk's attack: Shift to H15
Minor: Majestic Word on Kane heals HS+7 and he gets to slide 1 (before standing up)
Standard: Arrow of Ill Omen 1d20+11=22 (vs Priest's AC) for 2d10+6=15 damage and choose Kane, if he hits but does not crit roll 1d20 and on 15 or higher it is a crit and this effect ends.

Hergunna-spider shivers as the cold hits her, but her spirit immediately calls down through her legs to the earth beneath the stone floor, summoning up a cloud of warmth to protect her from the zombie's chill. After the rogues' attacks stagger the creature, she sees and opening and lunges in, snapping the thing's spine with her crushing mandibles. "Ha!" she hisses, breaking free from the ice which had briefly frozen her to the floor and bracing herself for the zombie's death blast.
[sblock=Actions]Interrupt: Resist Energy when the 5 ongoing cold kicks in. Hergunna has resist 5 cold TENT and the cold damage is negated. (And will help should she be hit by the zombie's death blast!)
Standard: Savage Rend vs. ChillbornSavage Rend vs. Chillborn (1d20+8=16, 1d8+5=11) vs reflex, so that actually hits for 11 damage. Pretty sure that finishes it (assuming the rogues' attacks stand).
Save vs. ongoing damage: Save vs ongoing (1d20+1=20) Yep.[/sblock]

At musicman's words, Kane swings at the corpse, but he appears bewildered by the sudden opening and the bugbear nearly trips over the wide variety of gore on the ground.

As the bugbear stands up, he tries to slash down the offending wraithborn, but again his attack is wild and reckless, missing his targets.

[sblock=ooc]
When Kane gets bloodied gain 5 temp hp.
No Action (when Wil casts arrow) - Whirling Rend granted by Wil (incl. +2 to attack) (1d20+14=15, 1d12+12=23, 1d12+7=8) miss big time.

No slide from Healing power but regain 21 hp

Move: stand
Standard: Whirling Rend on Wraithborn - Whirling Rend (vs Wrathborn); dmg; dmg to dread zombie (1d20+12=22, 1d12+12=15, 1d12+7=19) nope.

Summary:

[sblock=ooc]I was able to squeeze in some time unexpectedly tonight to finish the post. So here you go. Sorry about the dashing around the one enemy in the map; it means nothing Just a mistake in my screencap.

Hergunna slew the chillborn, which promptly blew up. However, the blast deflected off her defenses and hit the wraithborn, slowing it.

"No! No! No!" The priest yelled, rushing toward the conflict. Stepping up to Hergunna, the priest jammed his rod against her, which shot sparks of pain as pieces of flesh turned black and flaked off.

This rush, however, did little to inspire his zombie creations, which seemed distracted by the priest's outburst; their attacks were easy to deflect. For the adventurers, it seemed the battle, which started quite ominous, was now tipping to their favor.

Kruk moves to a position to gain an advantage against the wraithborn and to provide a little cover for Kane. Finding an opening, he swings with reckess abandon connecting with a minor wound to the foes back. ha HA!

[sblock=actions]
minor: none
movement: shift to G11
attack: brash strike: 1d20+14+2(flank) vs Wraithborn AC: 31 for 1d10+8 = 9

CA is granted to the wraithborn on Kruk until beginning of next turn.

Shield property kicks in for Kruk. As long as kruk flanks an enemy with an ally, that ally (Kane in this case) gains a +1 bonus to AC and Reflex until Kruk is no longer flanking an enemy with Kane

[sblock=ooc]I have Predator's Flurry left - attack once, shift 3 squares, attack again, and daze the opponent on a hit. Ideally I'd like to make both attacks with combat advantage, to maximize both chance to hit and damage (+1d10). Hergunna has the priest flanked now, waiting for Kane to move (assuming he does) to somehow flank the wrathborn.

(And if Charina is having trouble getting CA, hopefully one or both targets will be dazed after my go)[/sblock]
