[sblock=OOC\Treasure]I'm looking through all your character sheets to work out which magic items will turn up where and when, and I note that Ceryx and Skalisss don't have wish-lists, would you guys mind coming up with a list each please; it would help me out no end
Mikara and Brother Shane, would you mind making a note on your wish-lists saying which books the items are from please?
Currently Skalisss has 2 magic items, growl has 1, and the rest of you have none, so unless you disagree I will look to the lists of those with less first, of course once the items are actually awarded it will be up to the party to dispense them as you guys see fit.[/sblock]

 

[Kalidrev]

[sblock=OOC/Treasure] I'm a bit confused about the damage Mikara has/has not taken. In your first update after I killed Thomas, you said that she took 4 damage in the Actions sblock, but in the subsequent Status blocks you have put up she is listed as 20/20 HP. Did Mikara get the 7 temp HP from Skalisss's effect? If so, was this taken into account when she was damaged?

Treasure:

Below I have copied/pasted my wishlist from my character sheet. There isn't a specific "book" that these come from, but rather from Dragon Magazine and from one of WOTC's published adventures, all of which is listed in the DnDi Compendium. Let me know if you do not have access to these resources to look up the items. The Ki Focus is is a physical item and is described as being a black leather manual of different creatures anatomy that seems to never end as you flip through it.

Wishlist

1. Final Sleep Ki Focus +1 (Level 3 Ki Focus) (Dragon Magazine 382; Assassin's Toys)
2. Shadowdance Leather Armor +1 (Level 5 Armor) (WOTC Adventure: Seekers of the Ashen Crown or DnDi Compendium)


If you plan to give Mikara armor, PLEASE give her the above armor, as it fits her class, race, and theme PERFECTLY.

[/sblock]

OOC: Mikara did get the 7 temp hit points from Skalisss, all of the PCs did as they all were within range at the time.

 

[Kalidrev]

[sblock=OOC/Treasure...again]
Then in that case, if she DID get the 7 temp HP from Skalisss, does she have 3 Temp HP left (after the 4 damage), or was she actually dealt 11 damage from the guard and took only 4 after the temp HP were consumed? [/sblock]

[sblock=Tactics] I'm not really sure what to have Mikara do. If she attacks and shifts, she'll just be attacked by both of them, if she shifts and moves, she might be able to get into Skaliss's +1 AC effect, but won't be able to get close, and she won't be able to also attack. If she double moves to get close to Skalisss, she'll take an OA from the guard she's next to. Knowing if she has temp HP left would help her decision (as 3 temp hp is actually kind of a big deal for her and could be the diff between life and death, lol... isn't that sad!)[/sblock]

 

[Fragsie]

[sblock=OOC]the most recent statut spoiler block is correct, she took 4 damage and has 20hp 3Thp.
Oh an Skalisss is currently in F8[/sblock]

 

[Kalidrev]

Mikara nods to her companions instructions to seek protective cover and gives Skalisss a warm smile. She would comply with his commands, but not before she paid back blood with blood. With the guard in front of her distracted by Skalisss, and knowing that his divine power was keeping the guard in check, she called to the darkness surrounding her foe, darkening his weak points in her view. Striking with a wide singing motion, her falchion slices cleanly into the human between her and Skalisss while both of their shadows copied their moves, slicing further into the man and opening a great wound. While his blood began to pour, she moved into Skalisss's divine protection.

Shane mumbles another litany, and a glowing brand appears on the forehead of one of the threatening guards. Out of reflex, more than anything, Shane jerks back as the bandit that had struck him previously appeared again at his side. Radiant energy lashed out, enveloping him as he collapsed. Shane groans "What have I done?" and looks at Ceryx almost reproachfully.

[sblock=mechanics]


Standard: Guard 1 is hit by Astral Seal (v. Reflex) (1d20+6=16). He takes a -2 to all defenses until EoNT. The next ally to hit him regains 14 hp. Skalisss gains 3 temp HP.

Action Point

Standard: Rabble 2 Sacred Flame (v. Reflex) (1d20+4=16, 1d6+4=5) Kills without Cyrex's bonus that I forgot to add, but in case it matters... 9 damage.

Shane is Dazed until EoNT.
[/sblock]
[sblock=OOC for all]

So Shane has the Pacifist Healer feat, which means he is Dazed when damaging a bloodied enemy.


Mikara, at this point, Shane will heal you from 0 to full with one healing word. You can fight a little loose.. just don't get hit with a coup de grace. ;-)

Fragsie: I updated Shane's wishlist with the books.
[/sblock]

 

[Kalidrev]

[sblock=Pacifist Healer] Actually, Brother Shane would be STUNNED... not Dazed. It's a REALLY REALLY nasty repercussion if you hit a bloodied enemy. I have pasted the entry for the feat from DnDi below:

Benefit: When you use a divine power that allows a target to spend a healing surge, the target regains additional hit points equal to 1d6 + your Charisma modifier. The additional hit points increase to 2d6 + your Charisma modifier at 11th level, and to 3d6 + your Charisma modifier at 21st level.
Also, whenever you deal damage to a bloodied enemy, you are stunned until the end of your next turn.

(emphasis, mine) You may want to rethink about using your action point to attack Rabble 2 with Sacred Flame. You'll basically be making us healer-less for 1 round. It's good to know that I can fight a bit loose though [/sblock]
