Blight Makes Right (DM: TwoHeadsBarking. Judge: Lord Sessadore)

Garron smiles at you. It's a sad smile, but also undeniably ghoulish. "I'm not going to be able to convince you, am I? You're going to do what you think you must, and so will I."

ooc: I've become super busy. I'll get the map up later today.

Garron doesn't say anything, but both the beetles and the goblin look up at you simultaneously. The vines lash out and start dragging themselves along the ground


[sblock=Status]So, for this combat we'll be using the group initiative system, which can be seen all over the L4W board. Basically, the order you act is the order you post in. The initiative only really matters for the first half of the first round, because some of you will act before the bad guys while others will be acting after. I'll be filling in their defenses and MBAs, but not now, because I don't have my notes with me.

Feyr: (21/26)
Growl: (27/30)
Adran: (28/28)
Bad Guys
Lephisto: (26/27)
Alek: (30/30)[/sblock]

Growl shifts into his bear form, letting loose a loud menacing rumble. The bear then moves around the beetles and charges at the corrupt druid, claws and teeth slashing.

[sblock=Mechanics]Minor action - Change to bear form.

Move action - Move to E9.

Standard action - Charge using Pounce against Garron, ending in I13.

Pounce vs Garron (1d20+4=14, 1d8+4=10)

Hits Reflex 14 for 10 damage, and on a hit the target grants combat advantage to the next creature that attacks it before the end of your next turn.[/sblock]

Garron recoils from Adran and Feyr's spells, but avoids Growl's claws.

The goblin runs around to attack Growl from behind, but the warforged manages to avoid his rusted mace. Unfortunately, this gives Garron the opening he needs. From within his robes he pulls out a filthy and corroded sickle, which he uses to cut into his mechanical counterpart. Growl feels a familiar poison make its way through his system as Garron steps away from him.

One of the beetles waddles up to Lephisto, shudders, and then unleashes a spray of corrosive fluid over him, Alek, and Feyr. The Bladeling ducks out of the way, but the other two are grievously injured. The other beetle skitters up to Adran and pinches him with its mandibles.

The cluster of vines writhes over to Adran, but the bard manages to avoid the lashing tendrils.

Lephisto's lips move in prayer as he circles one of the beetles, but the insect easily dodges his attack.

[sblock=Status]Feyr: (21/26)
Growl: (21/30, 5 ongoing poison)
Adran: (20/28)
Goblin:
Garron: (-28)
Vines:
Beetle 12: (Divine Challenge)
Beetle 43:
Lephisto: (9/27, bloodied)
Alek: (13/30, bloodied)

The goblin moves to H12 to flank Growl and attacks, barely missing.

Garron attacks Growl, hitting for 6 damage and 5 ongoing poison. He then shifts back.

The vines charge Adran, missing.

Beetle 12 moves to J4 and uses Acid Spray against Alek, Lephisto, and Feyr, hitting the first two for 17 (!) acid damage, which bloodies them. Beetle 43 contents itself with charging Adran, hitting for 8 damage.

Lephisto Divine Challenges Beetle 13, shifts to I4 to avoid future sprays, and misses Beetle 12 with another natural 1. IC really doesn't like me NPCing people.[/sblock]

"Oh gods above that burns!" Screams Alek as he moves away from the beetle, curses flying from his lips as the acid burns him. Darkness billowing around him he conjures a black, slightly transparent, spear and throws it at the beetle that had sprayed acid at him. The spear pierces the beetle's shell easily and promises to hurt the beetle further if it attempts to move towards him.

Adran chants a short, ferocious song, summoning a thunderclap which surrounds his nearest enemies. He also magically moves Lephisto and himself back 10 feet. Finally he hums a snatch of melody which encourages and revitalizes Lephisto.

[sblock=OOC]Shout of Triumph vs plant and both beetles.

Shout of Triumph (vs Fortitude) against both beetles and plant: (1d20+4=6, 1d6+4=8)

Here we go again! :mad:

If by some miracle it works, push the beasties back 3 squares and slide Lephisto and himself back 2.

Majestic Word: Lephisto can make a healing surge with +4 hp.[/sblock]
