I'll give you my 2 cents. Wait for a bit (at least) until they work out a lot of the many bugs the software rental has.

Why yes there are...lots of them actually:

I'm not sure about the rule change. A quick look on the Insider didn't net any results for me. So, until someone says otherwise, I'd say your daily is fair game.

Atop the gate wall, the magician raised his sword again, but the the wolf succumbed to the flames and fell limp. So, the Demon King's Wand turned his attention to Hergunna, firing a mind bolt at the Druid. But Hergunna, having sensed the loss of her wolf companion, was already focused on the mage, and she easily rebuffed the mental attack.

"No! Get back!" The human doomdreamer yelled frantically, swinging wildly at Kane with his mace, with no effect. "Help me you stupid Drow!"

"As you wish," the enemy drow said, venom in his voice. With a clutched hand, it ignited the area behind the gate wall in heavy flames. Hands of fire reached up, grabbing; Kane knocked the hands away, but the doomdreamer was not so lucky.

"What! AHHHH!" The doomdreamer screamed. "You Bastard! What have you done!?"

"It is unfortunate you were caught in the crossfire, dear Jamus. No doubt the master will be saddened to hear of your death, but take comfort that the brotherhood sing songs of the bravery you showed in your death."

The doomdreamer screamed obscenities, but could not move from the flames.

[sblock=Flame Zone]
The flame zone behind the wall (-F13:C21) is difficult terrain until the end of the encounter. Any creature that starts its turn in the zone takes 5 fire damage.
[/sblock]

The Bloodseep demon, without a target, retreated back to the firezone which it was immune to.

The huge Neldrazu wrapped an arm around Kruk, and the dwarf disappeared. A moment later, it too disappeared. Both reappeared 40 feet to the south, up against the huge stone wall. Facing Kruk 1 on 1, the Neldrazu attacked with all of its arms, slashing and cutting the dwarf all over. The cuts were so deep that even after the attack was over, life was still pouring out of him.

[/sblock][sblock=Enemies]
Demon Face Statue

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.

Is there a forum around here discussing this? I was considering upping my subscription, but know I want to know what I'm buying first... and I don't wanna threadjack this thread.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]I consider DDI worth the price just for the compendium, Dragon and Dungeon magazine so I was never at risk to cancel my subscription, but I don't consider the new web Character builder to be even half as good as the old one.

Can it improve by leap and bound? Hopefully. But they ought to have kept updating the old one until the new one isn't a freaking beta anymore. Truthfully, the new one isn't even that bad, but it's the shock of going from the awesome old one to the new one that is the most galling. It's like going from walking to having a Ferrari. Then the Ferrari is yanked away and you get a Saturn. Well, the Saturn sure as hell beats walking, but for crying out loud, I had a Ferrari! ARG!

OOC: DM: I think you missed Charina's attack on the statue; She hit for 12. Along with Hergunna's 6, it should be down to 3.

Also, Charina has 49hp, not 44 and she has used her AP.
 

By my pappy's grey beard! what the heck is going on here! I've never been through this before. Kruk shots outload talking to himself. Ignoring his pain Kruk strikes back with an attack of his own so brutal that it almost severs one of the beast's tenacles. Someone help me finish this thing off before he finishes me off! Kruk spits out blood as he continues to bleed.

[sblock=action]
immediate interupt: unbreakable: reduce last attack by 8 hp

-5 ongoing damage:
save vs ongoing damage: 1d20= 9

minor: cloak power: resist 5 damage of any type
movement: none
attack: bedeviling assault vs foe's ac: 1d20+15= 32 for 26

and once per round for the rest of the encounter, when an ally hits the target with a melee attack, Kruk can use a basic melee attack with combat advangtage against the target as a free action.

Kruk marks beast

OOC: Scratch previous post; it seems I missed the statue earlier.


Hergunna tries to finish off the Statue but it turns out to be a difficult target. She then moves toward Kruk to offer support.

Charina, really frustrated with the statue, spots a fracture line near the neck and decapitate the stone monument with a perfectly placed bolt. She then prepares to take out the demon wand guy.

-''Ah! About time.''

[sblock=Actions]
Hergunna

Standard

Move: J12

Charina:
Minor: reload
Standard
Sly Flourish vs Statue (1d20+14=24, 1d10+11=19)
Move: N20
stealth (1d20+19=20)

Damn... What is its passive perception?
