OOC: Don't have a particular space I want to go to... so how about, Hergunna will examine the other body. If she completes that before anything else happens, she'll move adjacent to Carolina, wherever she might be.

I assume these reset, although some are dailies. Please give me a new list of Triggers, please.
[/sblock]

The Adventurers crept into position.

Hergunna, picking over the other dead body, found the adventurer used to be an archer of some kind. It was slumped over a rather large crossbow, and wore gloves of some magical value, though the items seemed better suited for Wil or Charina.

As Wil moved into position and looked back at the statue, he thought the eyes of the status had followed him. A creepy feeling sent shivers through him.

Carolina, seeing her allies in position, attempted to rest the battleaxe free. She gave a massive heave, but found the weapon stuck. She pulled again, with great strain showing on her face, but it still did not budge. Caroline, it seemed, lacked the strength to free the weapon.

Quietly, the demon statue hissed, "Intruders..." It then added, loudly, "BEGONE INTRUDERS!"

The force of the statue's words sent the adventurers flying. Carolina was pushed away from the demon body and slammed up against the gate wall. Hergunna was pushed straight back toward the portal. Kruk and Wil were both pushed over the edge. Kane, however, was unaffected.

[sblock=Wil/Kruk Trap/Cliff Rules]
You get a chance to save vs falling.
If you passing the saving throw, you are prone where you are.
If you fail, you move one square to the right, and you are hanging on to the cliff by the edge. You will need to use a move action to pull yourself back up (Athletics DC 10). This will put you back on land, but still prone. You'd need a second move action to stand.

Another adjacent character can use their move or standard action to pull you up, making you prone on solid land.
[/sblock]

Caroline heard clearly the demonic tongue, probably barking orders. The statue, it seemed, had alerted others. The doors of the gate swung open, And two huge skeleton warriors ran out with uncanny speed. For the moment, they seemed to ignore Caroline.

"Who" "Goes?" the two said, one finishing the other's sentence.

Hergunna and Kane could see more demons approaching the gate from the other side. Hergunna also saw that behind the gate there was another portal.

Carolina, Wil, Kruk and Kane all felt an odd sensation, as if their mind is being probed.

Countermeasures
-Stealth DC 17: By making a Stealth check, a character can move within 5 squares of the statue without activating it or alerting the creature linked to it.
-Thievery DC 17: A character adjacent to the statue can make a Thievery check (as a standard action) to disable the trap until the start of the character’s next turn. Three successful Thievery checks destroy the trap.
-A character can attack the statue (AC 22, Reflex 22, Fortitude 21, 21 hit points). Doing so activates the trap (as above). Destroying the statue ends its threat.

[/sblock][sblock=Adventure Summary]
Motives
Kruk: Find his friend Greggor
Charina: Use the group to collect more bounties (ears)
Everyone Else: Locating the missing Silver shipment for Lord Byron

Summary of Events
1. Bested Pirates en route to Allaria. Traveled on the ship Wind's Will captained by Captain Levenbrech, and mated by Porse and Trig.
2. Arrived in the port, to find it besieged by Lizards from the unending mire. Defeated lizards and met/teamed up with Charina.
3. Journeyed to Geardagas and asked the locals for information with mixed results (link to the leads gathered).
4. Went to the temple of Netari, where the new priest, Father Niris, has been tending to the ill (apparently quite poorly). He led the players into the catacombs, where his zombie minions ambushed. The priest, over confident, rambled on about Hellview (background reference for players).
5. Dealing a mortal blow to the Priest, he says Master De Luccia (First time they have heard the name) cannot be stopped, and he stated that Greggor "will be... among the first... at Hellview." The priest laid dying on the floor with his fallen minions.
6. As they approach Hellview, they encounter the ghost of Sir Alistair Glasston, who begged them to enter the cave and retrieve his lost battleaxe.
7. They entered Hellview, and came across a portal, as well as some guards/workers. It seems they were using zombies to dig a new path near the portal...
8. They step through the portal into a bizarre world. A demon statue looms ahead, with a tall gate behind. The bodies of fallen adventurers, as well as a dead demon, lay about the floor. Wil Triggered the Demon statue trap, alerting the nearby demon's.

Charina has a good line of sight on the western giant skeleton. It waves a huge club in the air. She lines him up, aiming for the shoulder. Time slows down, she holds her breath and squeeze the trigger. The shot is perfect. It tears through the left shoulder, causing massive damage but also spins the giant on impact and its own club smashes against the other giant skeleton, breaking some ribs.

-''Ah!''

Not much time to celebrate, though. Charian scramble forward and takes advantage of the distraction of her enemies to find a new hidding spot.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Daily, gets CA because hidden (or possibly first strike)
Confounding Blow vs Bonecrusher Skeleton at I14 (1d20+14+2=27, 2d10+9+2d8=34)

Hit for 34,

Effect: The Bonecrusher skeleton makes a free melee basic attack against a target of my choice; the other Bonechrusher skeleton. Since I have CA vs the other skeleton, that attack has CA too.

Bonecrusher at I14 vs other Bonecrusher skeleton AC (1d20+13+2=27, 1d10+5=9) hit

Minor: reload

Move: Stealth to R12
Stealth (1d20+19=36)

She is currently hidden.
[/sblock]

[sblock=Chameleon]Charina now has the Chameleon at-Will utility power.

Immediate Interrupt Personal

Trigger: Charina is hidden and loses cover or concealment against an enemy.

Effect: Charina Makes a new Stealth check. She remains hidden from the triggering enemy if her check beats its passive Perception check. Until the end of her next turn, she can remain hidden without needing any cover or concealment.

Mal alerted my of a recent update with dwarf characters, allowing dwarves to either put a +2 racial bonus in str or wis. I chose str, which allowed Kruk's str to increase to 20, which makes his attack and damage rolls increase by 1. Can I use these new bonuses in this encounter?
[/sblock]

Whoooooaaaghhhhhh!....The normally stout and sure-footed dwarf tumbles from the blast from the large demon statue, unable to prevent himself from falling over the edge. But as fate would have it or by shear luck, he was able to catch the edge with his shield hand. Turning his head he sees Wil holding on as well. What was that! You okay? After a nod from Wil, Kruk heaves himself back onto the floor and then gets up to survey the battle field.

ooc: does climbing count as one movement action?

[sblock=actions]

save vs falling: fail

climb back up: athletics check: 24

movement: stand up
minor: none (weapon and shield were already equiped)

Eeeeeeeeek Wil shrieks as he is pushed back, but he falls to the ground to avoid going over the side. Standing up he put his hand to his head and then looks around. There is something else here, hidden, look for a floating set of eyes! He carefully moves to the gates and hides beside the portcullises

[sblock=John]I think that wall is of questionable cover, but there's nothing stopping you from moving there. I would say, if I can draw a line of any corner of a square the enemy occupies and it reaches the back right corner of F18 without going through that little piece of wall, then no cover bonus is afforded. Likewise with the stealth check. So, by that ruling, I would say you are hidden from the left-er bonecrusher, but not hidden from the right-er bonecrusher.

Feel free to prove me wrong, appeal to the judge, or retcon based on this information. [/sblock][sblock=Dims]No Problem[/sblock]
