Assassination 2: The Lost Children

[FourMonos]

The first minotaur is rebuffed by Chael and then smacked with a flying stone. Demonstrating some tactical skill, the minotaur charges right past her and attacks Alexia. The beast is too quick to adjust and swing as it rushes by.

The second minotaur again uses its magic to strike at the group, but this time it's bolt strikes Rohna. Rohna's vision becomes covered in the red joy of battle and foe and friend become indistinguishable. Like a puppet pulled by strings, Rohna charges headlong into Malehan's back, landing a savage blow. Her vision clears revealing what she has done.

The third minotaur attempts to deal a solid blow against Malehan, now distracted by Rohna, but fails to hit and steps back.

The warden charges forth from the palisade, quickly covering the ground. His attempt to crush Malehan misses.

Ted finally makes his appearance, the large... well, giant, really.... humanoid makes long strides out of the light woods and onto the battle. He grins a huge toothy grin at the idea of combat, a tree trunk in one hand and a boulder in the other.

OOC: The map link isn't working. And Rohna gains a new 5thp when she hits Mahalen.

 

[MetaVoid]

Bellegon points his red-tipped rod at the ogre trying for the more powerful soul draining. He meets ogres eyes and the darkness and despair well from the drow as blood gushes from ogres nose, his mind trying to survive the onslought of nightmares.

Few drops slither over and disappear in puff of smoke, joining the increasing well of power around the warlock. His rod pulses pushing the enemies away from the warlock, ogre circling around undead knight, while newly cursed minotaur feels himself drawn toward terrible pair surrounded by twilight zone. (Strange music can be heard in the minds of the witnesses.)

*Fine time to take a nap. Get up and smack this guy Dusk*

"I'm sitting here shooting three of them at a time with rocks and the new guy think it's a good idea to put one of these minotaurs in my face." Chael mutters. Raising her voice, "So, what are you going to do? Attack me, or have the bear maul you to death?" Chael asks the minotaur as she distracts it with her weapon.

Dusk obliges by clawing the Minotaur hard across its face.

[sblock=Actions]
No action: Regenerate 6.
Minor: Battlemind's Demand on Minotaur 1.
Move: Dusk stands up.
Standard: Dusk attacks Minotaur 1.

Dusk criticals Minotaur 1 for 21 damage.

+2 to defenses to Chael due to Dusk, +1 to Dusk's defenses due to Chael, partial concealment vs. ranged attacks for all behind Twilight Shield mist

Minotaur 1 is marked and at -3 to hit anyone but Chael.
[/sblock]
[sblock=Immediate Actions]
In order:

Either using Mind Spike or Forceful Reversal on Minotaur 1 this round. If Minotaur 1 moves away without attacking Dusk or Chael, then will do Forceful Reversal on first creature that hits Chael. If neither of these happen and Dusk is hit by an attack that does not include Chael, will do Guardian's Counter to protect Dusk.

IR
Mind Spike
Trigger: An adjacent enemy marked by Chael deals damage to her ally with an attack that doesn’t include her as a target.
Effect: The target takes force and psychic damage equal to the damage that its attack dealt to Chael's ally.

Not doing Guardian's Counter this round if Dusk attacked by Minotaur 1.

II
Guardian's Counter
Close burst 2; Trigger: An ally within 2 squares of Chael is hit by an attack and she is not included in the attack.
Effect: Chael and the ally shift up to 2 squares as a free action, swapping positions. She becomes the target of the triggering attack, in place of the ally. After the attack is resolved, Chael can make a basic attack against the attacker.

Will do Forceful Reversal Augment 1 without pushing or shifting.

IR
Forceful Reversal (augment 1)
Trigger: An enemy hits Chael.
Attack: +15 vs AC
Hit: 1d8+6 force damage, and Chael pushes the target 1 square.
Effect: Chael doesn’t get her normal standard action on her turn.
Augment 1:
Hit: 1d8+6 force damage, and Chael pushes the target 1 square and then shifts 1 square to the square the target vacated. In addition, she gains combat advantage against the target until the end of her next turn.
Effect: Chael gets her normal standard action on her turn.
Augment 2
Hit: 2d8+6 force damage, and Chael knocks the target prone. The target cannot stand up until the start of its next turn.
Effect: Chael gets her normal standard action on her turn.

"Malehan, fall back!" echoes in point warriors head

OOC: 4M, don't kill him just because the player went MIA On purpose putting myself next to low Will fighters...hopefully my defense will save someone

Moments after, Rhona gets exasperated and hopeful instruction.
"Rhona, go get that caster before you kill us all. I'll keep looking over your shoulders in case you need help."

Move: G15
Standard: Sacred Flame vs M1 Ref; radiant damage (1d20+14=27, 1d6+7=8) - Ven gets +1 all defenses vs M1

Immediates:
If Rhona and/or Czern would be saved by Bastion of mental clarity, use it, I don't look forward to them hitting me

If the above is not used, then use Reverent Mettle to reduce damage by 8 on either Malehan or Bellegon (depending on minotaurs order of actions - I have to wait for the casters)

OOC: LOL, sorry about that, I thought you wanted melee. Go, bear!

OOC: No worries. It's all good. Chael would be a little bit bothered (hence the reason I RPed her that way), but I'm not. Chael isn't much of a fighter. She's better with ranged attacks and could have done so this round if I had really wanted her to. But, it would have brought down her mists, so I decided to get Dusk standing up instead. She still did about average damage for her this round.
