[Adventure]: Shards of Eldanarth (DM: MadAzolin, Judge: ??)

[MadAzolin]

Bleeding from many wounds, patches of its feathered hide pierced, charred and rotten, Owlbear hunter hoots its fury, attempting to batter down mental defenses of his prey. As if awaiting for attack, silvery radiance around Cry and Vermithrax grows in intensity, seemingly deflecting all harm, but Jade and Martelai's shadow are not so fortunate - fey beast whimpers for a moment and moves away from the monster and shadow is dissolved into pool of darkness.
Seeing that foes still stand before it, wounded Owlbear inhales deeply and releases thunderous hoot, uprooting grass, scattering leaves around it and forming visible shockwave of compressed air and thunder. Shockwave washes over Cyr, Vermithrax, Kane and Jade.
Cyr, Vermithrax and Jade brace for impact and seemingly suffer little harm from attack, but Kane, obviously distracted by attack of other owl-beast is hit squarely in the back and shockwave picks him and up and hurls him head over heels.
[sblock="owlbear hunter 2 actions"]
- aura hits Cyr, Vermithrax, Jade and Shadow for 5 psychic damage [Cyr and Vermithrax gain resist 5 from Lerrick's Moment of Glory and suffer no damage, shadow is destroyed, Jade takes 5 damage and beast slides it 1]
- monster does close burst 3 attack vs Fort, misses Cyr, Vermithrax and Jade and critically hits Kane. Cyr and Vermithrax take 10 thunder damage (-5 from Moment of Glory for total of 5), Kane takes 36 thunder damage (-5 for total of 31), is pushed 3 and knocked prone

[sblock=OOC] Sigh. I would have been able to teleport H1 over to the others if someone had risked taking an atk and not cleared a direct line of atk to Kane, as happened.

The longsword that teleports is Kane's old +1 longsword. I could sheath and draw I guess. I will have a look.

Just seen that posting is happening creature by creature. Will hold response until I see how it plays out.[/sblock]

 

[MadAzolin]

Owlbear Madowl continues its alluring hoot, drawing gazes of Vermithrax and Cyr toward it. It rises its talons and attacks nearest source of dinner, targeting wounded owlbear hunter beside it. Monster avoids single swipe, but other catches it across the back, carving deep wounds. Monster retaliates, striking madowl twice, one of hits leaving serious rake across the Madowl.
[sblock="madowl actions"]
- Cyr and Vermithrax are marked by monster's aura
- monster fails saving throw against Lilli's effect and attacks Owlbear Hunter; one attack is miss, other deals 17 damage
- monster takes attacks from Owlbear hunter 2: one is miss, other hits him for 20 damage.

[jbear]

[sblock=OOC]Mad Owl also needs to take a MBA from H2 as per Kane's Charm of the Defender power with a +2 to atk and +2 dmg.

This is not the first time, nor the second that you have seemingly missed my actions or even accredited them to someone else.

[MadAzolin]

[MENTION=75065]jbear[/MENTION] [sblock="correction(s), notes for everyone"]
- correction on monsters hitting each other: Madowl took set of attacks from H2 for total of 20 damage
- jbear: sorry for missing your action(s), but keep in mind you have by far the most reactions, interrupts and actions triggering on someone else's turn, not to mention some are 'ally only', some are 'you and ally'... please double check if you think something is missing.
- same goes for eveyone else

[jbear]

[sblock=OOC]I am sure you are working hard to make the fight challenging for us and keep a track of everything that is going on.

I know the system fairly well, a downside of playing with other DMs. I guess I am feeling somewhat frustrated that no one else was hit this round other than Kane who received 2 critical hits (without being able to see the dice), one from a power that seems altered to gain a range just big enough to include Kane.

I am aware the Dimensional Vortex only triggers when an ally is hit. [/sblock]

Gratified that the Owlbears clawed each other, Lilli re-asserts her will over the Owlbear's minds to distract them again; suddenly they find multiple images of their prey overwhelming their senses. Will it be enough of a distraction to make them miss Lilli's companions?

The gaze of Lerrick radiant silver eyes is still lock on Cyr and Vermetrax, providing much needed defensive support as they two are so close to the enemies. Knowing that Kane was hit badly she turns her head slightly so that to see him out of the corner of her eye. Mumbling a prayer and pointing her right hand in the direction of the wounded comrade, Lerrick unleashes a torrent of soothing healing warmth into the body of Kane. She then takes a step back away from the fey beasts and reverts her full attention to Cyr, Vermetrax and the Jade beast

[MetaVoid]

"Now see here! We need to re-organize. Mireva in your infinite wisdom, allow me access to the memories of the Tide of the First Storm."

He removes a gauntlet from his hand and leaves it hanging in the air. Wriggling his fingers experimentally, gauntlet mirrors the movement, he nods and sends it away

Quick radiant lines spread across battlefield. Gesturing with his staff, the invoker widens the grid as faint outlines of chess board and figures overlie the combatants. Somehow, madowl and it's companions are black king and two pawns, slow and weak, while Cyr as white king moves rooks, queen and hunters avoiding the reactive hoot of the wounded predators.

Cyr has no such luck as the price for the power to move everyone and direct the battlefield is his own concentration and immobility.

"We have them now. When the remaining one approaches, hit them with everything you got, they'll be close."


[sblock=Actions]
Move: I9 -> L15, provokes from madowl and H2 (but they are at -4 to hit and Cyr has +1 all defenses vs H2)
Minor: Remove the gauntlet from his hand

Standard: Tide of the First Storm vs Ref (Madowl; H2; H1); damage (1d20+14+2+1=25, 1d20+14+2+1=30, 1d20+14+2+1+3=40, 1d6+8=11) - centered on K10 and using Staff of the Warmage to make it burst 3 catching everyone but Lilli

Extra crit damage (2d8=8)

Hits all three and slows them:
Madowl and H2 take 11 damage
H1 takes 22 damage

Effect slide each ally in the burst 2:
Vermitrax I10 -> J15
Jade: J12 -> H13 - sorry, jbear, I need a bait Hopefully it misses with the charge...
Kane: N9 -> Q14
Martelai: M11 -> J16
Lerrick: N12 -> K17


Madowl and H1 should be bloodied by this, Jade should be only target available to H1 - everyone is out of blast radius
