Adventure: Protection (Mal Malenkirk)

[rb780nm]

OOC: Sound of Stone's breath is bated. it's ok, take your time, at least its not rugby season, so I'm here paying attention.

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

OOC: Hope I didn't make too many screws up. Long day, long post.

The heroes can hear the archers out of sight struggling to climb the walls and gain height advantage on them.

The swordsmen boldy move against the heroes and cause much mayhem, one successfully knocking out Sound of Stone. Another advance menacingly on teh vulnerable Halcyon... but falls unconscious before reaching him. Some kind of magic, it seems.

Mikara gets burned by a fire elemental flying down from the roof

The dragon flies down the middle of the spellcaster, threatening to make their job harder causing mayhem.

OOC: Status Highlight 1-The two arhers with a green 4 on them but still located over a street square are in the process of climbing and are conceding combat advantage. This is of particular interest to Aedan once he moves upon the roof since he will get LOS of the archer who almost completed the climb to the south (note that he has cover) PS:Technically, once you are ON the roof you are level 5, not 4, but I didn't feel like multiplying token just for fun. 2-Sound of Stone is Dying. If someone heal him before he 'acts' this turn (make his save!), he doesn't lose his turn. 3-Mikara is burning. If she can get a free save before she takes her turn, she avoids the damage.

Archers:
Move: Climb walls
Clockwork starting NW (1d20+3=21, 1d20+3=15, 1d20+3=10, 1d20+3=22)
Move: Two who failed try again
1d20+3=16, 1d20+3=22

Swordmen
They all attempt their Brutal Cut encounter Power. Someone is going to bleed!
Move:TPL
Standard: Brutal Cut
vs AC 1ante 2:Mikara 3:Sound of Stone 4:Halcyon (1d20+7-2=24, 3d6+5=12, 1d20+7=18, 3d6+5=15, 1d20+7=22, 3d6+5=19, 1d20+7=22, 3d6+5=12)

Huh... More than one person, actually. That's a wee bit above the average of 17.5 one would expect. One has to hope that probabilties be your friend and balance with a few sucky rolls.

Dante: 24 hit for 12
Mikara: 18 miss
Sound of stone: 22 hit for 19(!)
Halcyon: 22 hit for 12

EDIT:News flash! The guy who I used to attack Halcyon was the slowed (sleep) swordman and therefore incapable of reaching him after all. On the downside, it means he still has his brutal cut power available. Same is be true of the fire elemental next to him who can just move 4 square and waste his turn. So while I'm at it:

1: save of Swordmen 2:save of fire elemental (1d20=9, 1d20=20) Swordman is unconscious now

OOC: If the wyrmling is two up, does that mean it's just above ground level? That is, can the wyrmling reach people passing underneath it to make OAs?

 

[Aidan Reed]

OOC: Not sure if I'm doing the smartest move here, but I'll give it a shot.

Aedan notices the fire-elementals and the swordsman ganging up on the strange insectoid creature. "Cowards", he thinks and after a quick glimp across the rooftop, he jumps down and fires a rain of crossbow bolts. Aedan stands between the insectoid and it's assaulters like a stubborn, fragile wall. he points his crossbows at the swordsman. "You'll have to pass through me if you want to harm this creature." he snarls.

[sblock=Actions]Move action: jump/climb down 4 squares. Standard Action: Preparatory Shot Preparatory Shot (1d20+7=15) on the Swordsman on P26 [which I miss, too bad: It would have given me combat advantage]
Action Point: Scattering Shot Scattering Shot (1d20+7=8) on the same swordsman: [which I miss again]
[/sblock]

OOC: Aaaargh! I would have done 5d6 damage on the swordsman and would have pushed the elementals away, giving Owen and Yishim an attack of opporunity. Why do the dices oppose me so? :/ Sorry, Sound - can't say I didn't try. Guess I'll prepare for a beating myself.

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

Aah! Hello number six... Mikara backs up and looks the fire elemental from foot (er... I guess that's a foot) to flame-tip, "Look, I know you think you're a hottie and all, but back off. I'm taken," She kisses the bow she's wielding, and lets two arrows fly, taking a little more careful aim at the fiery creature.

The swordsman falls, finally relieved of what could have been a long and painful demise, while the fire elemental howls in pain. Mikara smiles wickedly while her flesh burns, the flames giving her an ominous, elemental flare of her own, "and he's a really jealous lover!"

[sblock=Actions]Could have used the save, but I didn't want to wait until later in the day to post. I'll be fine. Somebody help SoS! (...how apropos an name ).

Owen takes a moment to assess as a space has opened up in front of him. The elementals have been pushed back from the line, for now, and the leader still hangs back aways. But before he can catch his breath, his mind notes the sounds of chaos from behind him. There is trouble on the southern flank ...

He steps back one more, and takes a vicious swipe through another fire elemental, his temper beginning to show.

[Antithetist]

The watery sprite succeeds in getting Halcyon's attention momentarily as his chosen target wanders off across the battlefield, and he turns to face the new threat with an almost careless sweeping upswing of his sword. The mighty blow smashes straight through the foe's liquid form in a torrential crash of water as the elemental's cohesion is shattered.

Halcyon nods with satisfaction and strides purposefully after the fiery menace that is attempting to escape his notice. He surveys the battlefield as he goes and can't help but notice that his elven ally appears to be on fire, and trying without much success to put herself out. Swiftly he unclasps his cloak with one hand and hurls it towards her in a high arc over the battle, crimson silk billowing out behind the heavy bronze clasp. "Mikara!" he booms, alerting her in time to catch it. "Use this."

OOC: Mikara, you get a save with a +2. Don't set fire to Halcyon's cloak please, he needs it to keep up his reputation as Daunton's best-dressed Warforged. With the Water Elemental down and the Fire Elemental denied OAs, someone (Queen?) should now be able to safely get through and Coup de Grace the sleeping swordsman.

 

[LogicsFate]

OOC: For rules clarification, most of my attacks are large aoes that hit all creatures, I assume using most of them would gib my own team? argh ran out of time.

[sblock=question for Mal]
Mal, is the wyrmling out of reach at its current position? Does it have reach?

For rb780nm, I do plan on healing SoS before his turn this round. [/sblock]

 

[ronakshah2000]

OOC: Mal, does immobilizing a flying creature drop him to the ground?
