[Adventure] Trouble in Moonwatch (Judge: THB) - Part II

[renau1g]

Apologies for the slowdown

As the healing power of Arawai continue to flow through River, he turns around and look at the creature.

"And what if none of us is willing to turn to your dark god. What if we decline your offer?"

"Then you will be destroyed" it growls

Pok is bolstered by River's brave words. He steps out against his better instincts, and attempts to be a real Sivis. Does the Voice of Khyber hold all power and responsibility for the people of this cult?

"No, Khyber holds the power over this cult, the Voice would be its servitor. the beast growls.

OOC: Sheeva will say the following after the creature responds to River and/or Pok.

"Hey fellows, can we go now?" Sheeva says stiffling a yawn and ignoring the creature. "I'm so bored with these Khyber cultists and their lame leaders with their grand schemes and plans of conquest and death and destruction. Yada, yada, yada. We need to go to a big city and have some fun, and leave these yahoos to their plotting and scheming which hasn't accomplished anything in the last few millenium."

"Very well, you cannot defeat us" the creature roars as it leaps high into the air and it's claws rake at Feall, drawing deep wounds in the drow as it quickly darts away next to Sheeva and tears at the sorcerer. Sheeva feels a portion of her essence drawn into the beast as a feeling of cold chilling energy emanates from the monster.

OOC: Red Zone missing on the map. Update please.

 

[renau1g]

OOC: It's an aura 2 so only Sheeva is currently in it

"We cannot defeat Khyber, but your cult can go down." answers River. The creature starts to shine in a silver light and the creature feels disoriented. "Help Sheeva, Rumbum! Keep the creature near you, and I will wash the pain as it come."

[SBLOCK=OOC]Start: Ongoing 5 Damage => 31/69 (Feall => 41/45)
Regen 2 => 33/69
Consecrated Ground (5)=> 38/69

Standard: Denunciation vs Will on creature: Hit 27.
If that hit, creature is Dazed, takes -4 to attack and all defenses and River would gain 2 THP.

End: Ongoing 5 damage (No save)

[MENTION=6667844]eve[/MENTION]ryone: Please note dazed creature give you Combat Advantage, that's over the -4 defenses. I really hope it hit! Also, dazed creature have no immediat action or opportunity action, so Sheeva can flee without being attacked.[/SBLOCK]

 

[renau1g]

OOC: its hits, will is 16

Pok uses the short interaction to pluck as much information as possible from the beast. Cross-referencing in his mind the various possibilities for handling the situation.

[sblock=knowledge checks ]
17 arcana on beast,
27 arcana on glowing statue,
12 religion beast,
22 religion glowing statue,
25 nature beast,
14 nature statue,
23 history beast

OOC: delay for the moment, will see how everyone arranges before possibly throwing a non-friendly burst.

Rumbum leaps into an attack, moving past river to position himself for a furious attack, the orc notices the beast is destracted. Taking advantage, Rumbum swings his axe down hard onto his enemy's back.

[sblock=actions]
movement: move to m13
attack: bedeviling assault vs foe: 1d20+14+2(CA) vs AC: 21 for 23


Most likely a miss. Damn! I've been saving this attack for the whole addy. If a hit, until the end of the encounter, once per round when an ally hits the target with a melee attack, Rumbum gets to make a basic melee attack with CA against the target as a free action.

but wait! River's attack brings the monsters ac down by 4, so maybe it did hit... (Hit AC 25?)

mark foe (until someone tells me otherwise)

[/sblock]

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OCC]

Most likely a miss.

Most likely a HIT! You hit AC 21, but teh creature has -4 to all defenses. Which mean it need a base AC of 26. But with a Will of 16, I would guess a hit.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=renau1g]You've got Feall's surges correct in the status, but (unfortunately) he's used both of his dailies and his APs as well.[/sblock]

Feall steels his will and shifts toward the creature, flipping a shroud over it and striking with his falchion. Shadows gather to extend the reach of the blade . . .

[sblock=Actions]Free: Shroud
Move: Shift to L11
Standard: Inescapable Blade (1d20+16=20) vs. AC for Damage (2d4+2=5)[/sblock]

OOC: [MENTION=54810]renau1g[/MENTION], isn't Sheeva in square L14, not K13? http://www.enworld.org/forum/5533920-post1298.html That might affect where Rumbum decided to move. Also, we did not get a short rest after the fight with the ex-Paladin, correct? But did more than a round go by with the short discussion? And what is the TA figure on the map? Finally, what is that large rectangular shape that is next to Sheeva and the creature? Can it be moved through?
