[Adventure]: The Missing Professor (DM: H.M.Gimlord, Looking for a Judge)

[dimsdale]

OOC: Pretend as though your initiative was after Seraph's (she healed you BTW, Serras is her tiger ). The heal is an item-granted minor-action heal, nothing special about it. When your turn starts you've been healed a healing surge, then take the ongoing damage, leaving you at 6hp and prone. No death save required because you weren't dying at the start of your turn.

ooc: Thanks Iron Sky and HMGimlord for the clarification.

Darkness clouds the mind of the warlord, followed by the warmth of healing. Max blinks his eyes and soon realizes that his face is planted to the ground. How the hell did that happen! Frustrated and still groggy, Max finds a way to stand. He takes a deep breath, then roars loudly as he swipes his axe at the most threatening foe: Astrix. Max's axe however catches nothing but air, but the roar gives him motivation to fight on. Come on boy...is that all you got!

[sblock=actions]

[H.M.Gimlord]

As Astryx's lacky falls, the crossbowmen on the roofs let lose another volley. Arrows strike Max in the chest, piercing armor and driving deep. Blood soaks the warlord's hauberk as he struggles to stay on his feet.

Mercilessly, one of Vythdar's bodyguards moves forward and finishes the job, careless even of Lauto's power that strips him of his strength. Max blacks out again and falls, pushed aside as the bodyguard moves on to the next target...Gloom.

Following suit, the second bodyguard moves in on the pallidan, "Don't worry friend, Lauto will have your soul tonight as well." The bodyguard's greatsword bludgeon's Gloom's armor, and the resulting concussion breaks the paladin's ribs, "It appears that his friends are a little stronger than yours," the bodyguard laughs.

As the bodyguard engages Gloom, so too Vythdar Astrix moves forward, "You should have stayed at home friend," he mockingly admonishes as his sword cuts into the paladin's chest, doubling him over. Gloom's eyes roll back, and he falls to the ground. Vythdar turns to the others in mock disappointment, "Now who's going to clean up this mess!?"

OOC: Wouldn't Blademaster 3 provoke some fighter thing by shifting away from Draglin? And does anyone have a better emergency heal than attempting a heal check?

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

GM: Yup. Draglin gets an MBA against BM3 if he wants to.

 

[Luinnar]

GM: Yup. Draglin gets an MBA against BM3 if he wants to.

Did you factor in the mark penalty when everyone attacked? Everyone was marked by Draglin besides whoever Gloom marked

OOC: The ones around Draglin that is, not on the roof. Also Draglin had a resist 5 on him, not sure if that was factored in

 

[Luinnar]

OOC: Virgil was M5 last round, did he get moved, don't see anything in the list. I have +3 from CA (+1 extra from the feat) after the Virgil move if that if that effects any your stats (I think you wanted it listed?).

Get back here! Draglin shouts, slamming a side of his double sword against the blademaster before he gets away. He follows up with a flurry of blows, dealing near deadly damage to the dastardly dunce!
[sblock=action]
Reaction:
Combat Challange vs blademaster 31 vs AC hit for 22 he stopped moving is marked and gains 5 cold vulnerability EONT.

[H.M.Gimlord]

Did you factor in the mark penalty when everyone attacked? Everyone was marked by Draglin besides whoever Gloom marked

GM: Correct me if I'm wrong, but Gloom's Divine Challenge marked all the baddies except the archers and the blademasters, superseding Draglin's mark. Therefore no penalty, except, maybe for the bodyguard who went after Max. DR 5 was not factored in. I'll correct that. *Edit* Retconned. DR factored in, and took another look at enemy actions. Looks like I did misread Divine Challenge, albeit in an irrelevant way. For some stupid reason, I thought that the mark ended when they were adjacent. Instead, the mark doesn't end unless Gloom ends his turn non-adjacent to the marked enemies. BTW: Since Gloom is KO, it makes no difference. The mark ends anyway. It looks like BG1 hits Max (AC 27) even with the -2 from Gloom's mark, so it makes little difference.

 

[Luinnar]

OOC: Yeah you are right, my mistake, thanks H.M.Gimlord. @dimsdale does Bravura Presence work if Max is unconscious? Also if the attack both hits and missed like with multi-attacks what happens?

 

[TwoHeadsBarking]

OOC: Looks like the Presence still works, since the condition is that you see the warlord. And if you hit at all, you get the attack/move and don't grant CA. At least that's how I've seen it played.
