[Adventure] The Cannith Caper (Judge: THB)

First Post
A tense silence hangs in the air for but a moment before the great construct leaps down into the center of the party. Haltor, White-eye, Deimos and Braddock feel an overwhelming sensation in their brains and suddenly they realize there's no way they could defeat such a powerful foe, only by joining her can they survive. Haltor's powerful desire to stop the creature prevent it from totally dominating his mind, but the halfling is still left seeing spots from the attack.

"Move aside mortals!" the dragon commands and Deimos and Braddock follow its words and move aside, and even the halfling's mount follows.

"Come, onto my back and we'll depart. Secrecy is key to my plans" the warforged calls out, gesturing for Mal, Talos and Tock to jump on.

The trio grab on and the dragon flies out of the large doors and out past the room with the machinery before disappearing from sight.

As the dragon departs her power loses hold on the group and they shake the cobwebs from their minds. At that moment a familiar foe (at least to Haltor) moves out of the forge fires, "Greetings halfling, I overheard you talking about your missing friends. Don't worry, you shall join them soon enough" the forgewraith hisses.

You see teetering around the corner, your (well...Haltor's) former allies, Alex and Vistrathis, but something's clearly different about them. Perhaps it's the machinery bits that seem grafted onto them, or the vacant looks in their eyes, but you know they aren't friends anymore.

[sblock=ooc]
Ok, Dragon used Commanding Voice to dominate (or stun) Team Haltor, giving Team Merc time to escape.

Now, there's still the matter of Haestus (and co.) to deal with for the trio. Initiatives please. H is in M16, Vist is R12, Alex is G12... let's get it on!

Team Merc. I'll be posting your XP here once this battle is over, but I expect around 1k xp or so + 3 RP's. However I need to write up the adventure and submit to the judges for approval. Week's been crazy but should be in better shape hopefully this weekend. (kids are outta the hospital and finally getting better). [/sblock]

As the dragon roars and flies off, Haltor fights to control White-Eye while the others are stunned. As the creature flies away, he yells, Coward construct! This is not over!

The halfling pulls the aging lizard under control just as the ghost reappears with his former compatriots now wrong. The furious halfling roars a Talenta battle cry. Either he would be dead or the ghost would be destroyed—or both. Such was the way such tales went.[sblock=Haltor]Haltor—Male Halfling Warlord 5

"Are you even sure you are all on the same side?" Deimos asks mockingly. His words sound true to Haestus, thanks to the tiefling's arcane powers.

[sblock=OOC]

Standard: Charm of Misplaced Wrath (1d20+8=22) vs Haestus. On hit, slide him to 13 (next to Alex) and he attacks him (Alex) with a basic melee attack and gets +2 to the damage of the attack.
On a miss, Haestus will do a ranged basic attack vs Alex with a +2 bonus to damage.

Prepared Action: Use Shield vs first attack that would hit otherwise.

OOC: Ok, forgot to mention it but everyone achieved a milestone so AP's for everyone :)


"Are you even sure you are all on the same side?" Deimos asks mockingly. His words sound true to Haestus, thanks to the tiefling's arcane powers.

The wraith moves through the fires, undeterred by their heat and materializes next to the wizard. A hammer of darkness appears in his hands and slams Alex to the ground.

Alex stands up and calmly marches past the forge.

Vistrathis moves with unnatural speed, teleporting briefly and ending up next to Deimos. The startled tiefling can do little to block his sword thrust and falls unconscious.

[sblock=Enemy Actions/Stats]
Haestus: Move to M17. Soulburn on Deimos & Braddock - vs ref (Deimos, Braddock); dmg (1d20+12=31, 2d8+7=18, 1d20+12=19, 2d8+7=22) hits Deimos for 18 & Braddock for 22, slide Deimos to to L24. Both take -2 defenses TENT.

Alex stands and moves to I16

Vistrathis: moves to N19, Leaping Strike - move to J23, attack Deimos - vs ac (Deimos); dmg (1d20+12=32, 3d8+5=11) crit for 29. Ko the wizard.

Haestus: 20 AC; 19/20/21 F/R/W

Alex: ?? AC; 17/??/?? F/R/W
Vistrathis: ?? AC; ??/??/?? F/R/W

[/sblock]

[sblock=Status]
Deimos hits (vs fort; dmg (on alex) (1d20+12=26, 2d8+7+2=13)) hits for 13 and pushes Alex to G11 & knocks prone.

The dark areas are nothing, you can move through them with no problem.

Haltor: 42/42; 2/7 surges,
White-Eye: 20/46; 1/1 surges
Braddock: 23/47, 4/11 surges, -2 defenses TENT.
Deimos: -11/36, 3/8 surges, -2 defenses TENT, bloodied, dying, prone, unconscious, 0/3 death saves

Get up, Deimos. We must destroy this ghost quick! Ware his fire and mind tricks! The tiefling struggles to consciousness, boosted by Haltor as the latter charges at the apparition. He with a savage growl, Haltor slams the spirit to the floor. I will slay you again, spirit! Your experiments end now! Haltor's angered attacks are too wild to hit, but he seems ready to strike back.[sblock=OOC]Healing Word and Rub Some Dirt on It on Deimos: 14 hp; 8 THP. He then uses Flattening Charge on Haestus: Hit for 14 hp and knocked prone. AP to use Diabolic Strategem on Haestus: Miss. Haltor grants CA to Haestus and the first attack it makes vs Haltor grants OAs to Haltor and all allies.[/sblock][sblock=Haltor]Haltor—Male Halfling Warlord 5
