[Adventure] The Jade Ring (DM: Dimsdale)

[jbear]

[sblock=OOC] Oh, I thought that Leather had already had his turn punching the thug again. Will get a post up shortly!

NB: Leather hit thug once before combat for 11 non lethal dmg, then again for 11 dmg (surprise round ?) With Haaku's 28 dmg I have Thug 1 at 15 HPs at start of Leather's turn. Or did one of those attacks not count?

I ask because the fight looks preeeetty hard core (sorry guys!), so keen to eke out any possible advantage![/sblock]

Leather, intent on taking the thug he has begun bruising out of the fight, steps into his flank and strikes him with his axe with all but lethal force. His other hand finds his hand axe again and flicks it once more at Mr Sam's face who was ready for the move this time and easily steps out of the way. Before the hand axe whirls back to Leather's hand, it curves around and catches another of the enclosing thugs across the cheek, leaving a nasty cut. Leather stashes the hand axe away once more and continues his aggressive whirling axe pattern that will surely cut to pieces any who remain too long at his side.

[sblock=Actions]Move: Shift to R7 (or is there DT even right in the middle of things as well?)
Standard: Cleave vs T1 26 vs AC=Hit for 12 dmg
Deft Hurler feat: RBA vs Mr Sam (doesn't Provoke OAtks) 15 vs AC=Miss
Free: Rebounding Hand Axe: New Target Thug 6: 30 vs AC=Crit for 13 dmg
(Sorry I put Thug 1 on dice roll but I had forgotten I had activated my daily stance which will finish him off anyway. So I wanted to change target to thug 6, is that ok? No, worries if it isn't)

Thug 6 and MR Sam are marked TENT

Immediate Interrupt: If either shift next to Leather or atk someone other than Leather Combat Challenge to make a MBA (Mr Sam is priority).

Rain of Steel: enemies that start turn adjacent to Leather take 1d10+3 dmg (Mr Sam and Thug 1)

[sblock=Temp Combat Notes]

For now:

Leaving the door for now, Fhangrim and his girls push through the crowd. Ursa Maximus, being of less substantial stuff glides through the fleeing pedestrians to harass one of the thugs.

Move: Fhangrim to G5
Ursa Major to F8
Ursa Minor to E8
Ursa Maximus to H12
"Introducing, center stage, my next act, the Terrifying Tremendous Two-Ton Toad!"

With a puff of smoke, a toad as big as a man appears among the crowd. It lashes its tongue at one of the thugs who is dragged toward the gaping maw of the toad for a tremendous bite.

Standard: Summon Giant Toad
Summon Giant Toad Attack (Thug 2) (1d20+10=26 Reflex, 1d8+8=9 damage)

"Be careful, these thugs look dangerous. Always keep your eyes open and get ready to duck."

With the admonition to the girls, Ursa Major pushes forward a bit more and all of Fhangrim's pets appear to be ready for an attack.

Minor: Natural Terrain Understanding (Allies in close burst 3 gain a +2 power bonus to AC and can shift 2 as a free action.
Ursa Major shifts to F9.

GM: Yes, the damage account on thug 1 is correct. I'm not counting the initial 11 damage for the grab as a surprise round. Can you place a summary of your attack and damage on the section on the map? Everyone else has done so (see middle right on the map). I will do the enemy attacks after you have done so. Thanks

[sblock=DM Notes: Please Ignore]
What are you doing your worthless scum! Mr. Sams roars at his henchmen. Move out of the way. I'll take care of these two...you get the cleric! NOW! Some of the thugs obey and plug their way through the crowd towards the cleric. Others attack those who have moved in the way of their target.

OOC: Wait so are you not counting Leather's initial 11 damage at all? He knew that power did damage when he chose to use it, even if it was outside of combat.

GM: Yes, I'm counting on the initial 11 damage. The thug had no time to heal. I will get that update tomorrow night. If not, I owe everyone 10 gps

Some of the thugs obey and plug their way through the crowd towards the cleric. Others attack those who have moved in the way of their target. The thugs, however, are spooked by the giant toad and the owlbears, who they thought were just dancers. Mr. Sams narrowly misses with an attack against Leather, who even though the attack missed, now knows that Mr. Sams is a worthy foe.

GM: @jbear Leather gets an attack against Thug 6. Go ahead and roll it. Question: If the attack hits thug 6's movement is stopped...correct?

 

[jbear]

Leather lashes out at the thug as he passes nearby, hobbling him and stopping him in his tracks.

OOC: OAtk: 20 vs AC=Hit for 15 dmg which stops Thug 6's movement NB: On the map thug 5 looks wounded, but it was Thug 6 (who is on full hps) that was struck by the RBA crit

 

[Son of Meepo]

Fhangrim moves to get a better view of the battle. He then fires several stones, conjured from the tip of his staff, roughly striking 2 of the thugs.

With a few words, the toad's skin becomes woody and tough as it flails at the same thug with its tongue, though this time with less effectiveness.

Haaku vaults over the draft lizards to cut off this Mr. Sam's escape- he leaves himself open as he does so, but trusts Leather to watch his back. His dual assault on the mob leader slices through mail and boiled leather armor, and though the follow-up slash with his claw is partially deflected, the impact alone is enough to hurt.
