OOC: Hello, I'm back to semi-regular posting for at least two weaks.

Can we retcon KarinsDad to Word of Diminishment at-will? MBA should be reserved for charges and opportunity atatcks?

Protection Runestate:
Target takes penalty to damage rolls equal to 3 TENT

Adjacent allies get DR 2

[sblock=OOC]Hopefully everybody saw my post in the General Discussion thread, but sorry again for the delay. Happily there wasn't too much trouble in getting my new computer's dodgy power supply replaced, and my posting should - touch wood - be back to normal now.[/sblock]

kal'Tarron swings at the winged corpse again - stronger now that he's shaken off the weakness. His blow cleaves straight through the thing’s decaying body and it falls unmoving to the floor as its foul animating magics fail.

It is about time we finished you! Mythra shouts, summoning up invisible creatures that attack the monster.

Baracus begins flailing about at the enemies surrounding him, glad at least to be keeping the pressure off his allies. "Bah! Is that the best you can do" taunting the creatures, not knowing if they can understand him. He manages to lightly graze the corpse, but misses the other enemy.

Grys moves to protect Mythra and slashes at the foe that was attacking him.

Serris stabs up at the foe, missing his mark. He adjusts his grip, and watches the winged corpse warily.

Orsik takes a large swing at the closest foe and is rewarded with a resounding thud as his maul impacts its chest. The forceful blow slams the undead creature back against the stone wall behind it, from where it then drops face-first to the floor with a last ghastly gurgle.

* * *

Only two of the foes remain, and the hour of their final rest is surely approaching fast. Mindless things that they are, though, they continue to attack just as before. Baracus’s adversary hurls another putrefying mass of innards and corruption at him at point blank range, whilst the remaining flyer dodges away from Serris and makes a clumsy fly-by attack on Mythra which the wizard dodges without too much trouble.

Serris quickly appraises both enemies, and glides across the rubble to reach the walking corpse. He strikes out at it, trying to get it to falter before the psychic onslaught.

Destruction
- Orsik and each ally in the burst gain +2 power bonus to damage rolls until TENT
- Target's first attack during it's next turn provokes OA from Orsik
- allies gain +1 to attack vs. enemies adjacent to Orsik

Big goliath moves around closer enemy, flanking it with Mythra.
"Don't you fall on me, gladiator. We're coming, punch that corpse that it feels it!"
shouts Orsik to beleguared warrior as he draws one of his healing runes, blood red again. As Baracus feels the healing, his fists grow heavy and hard as his blood collects over them.

Orsik then swings the maul, which leaves traces of red in it's wake as it heavily slams into the enemy. Small motes of red swirl around it, exaggerating it's moves, making it easy for Orsik to predict next attack.

Total: 32 damage if it attempts an attack, 17 otherwise

kl'Tarron advances on the Corpse locked in combat with Barracus. He swings his axe, connecting with the corpse, but a chance movement from the target robs his blow of much of its power.

Don't forget +2 to damage! Read the top of my post (#315)

 

[KarinsDad]

Grys moves in for the kill. "Pull back from the corner guys. That thing will have to come out and we can surround it. Can you wrestle that thing out into the open Baracus?" Grys shouts out.

[sblock=Actions]
I assume that 32 points of damage kills rw 2 (since it should take the OA against Orsik). If it does attack Orsik, it is at -2 to hit and Orsik takes 6 less damage if it does hit. If rw 2 is dead before his turn, then Grys will:

Move: double move to C3
Minor: Aegis of Shielding on C. C is marked by Grys. If it attacks anyone other than Grys, it is at -2 and the attacked PC takes 6 less damage from a successful attack.

If rw 2 is not dead before his turn, then Grys will instead move in to attack rw 2:

Move: Shift to H5
Standard: Sword Burst on rw 2

Keke is visible and a legitimate target.

Sword Burst on rw 2 vs. Reflex, 17 to hit, 14 force damage

If Grys hit rw 2 and rw 2 attacks Grys, it takes 5 force damage. rw 2 is marked by Grys. If it attacks anyone other than Grys, it is at -2 and the attacked PC takes 6 less damage from a successful attack.

OOC: sblocks seem to be having some issues, let's avoid using them for now.

Regarding Orsik's damage: only 17 damage has been done as Grys takes his turn. Orsik didn't provoke an OA that I can see (he moved in such a way as to avoid provoking one), and even if he had, Symbol of Wrath Reversed only grants an attack if its target attacks on its own turn (so it can take OAs without fear of reprisal).

In other words, rw 2 is still alive on Grys's turn, but if it's allowed to live, it will provoke an OA when it next attacks someone. Unless you post otherwise I'll assume you'll attack rw 2 (killing it).


I'll NPC Baracus for this round if actions haven't been posted in a few hours.
