[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 4997847, member: 79945"] You've managed to push your way through the deepest of the forest and out into the thinner trees directly surrounding Daunton, whose the city wall is now visible in the distance. Many of the trees here have been felled long ago and scattered stumps remain, interspersed with thick, tangled groves that resisted the woodsman's axe. The dark clouds have followed you and, although the walls of Daunton ahead remain dry, the rain pounds all around you, already turning the earth underfoot into a morass of mud. Blade and Tristan, in the front, hear two more lightning strikes close behind them and turn to be sure nobody is hit - one has missed Tonk by about 4 feet, but the other came close enough to burn Mikara, who is now sprawled on the ground right at the stone elemental's feet! Reluctantly you realize that if you continue to run, it means abandoning Mikara to the creature. As Mikara pulls herself to her feet, the creature takes another step towards her and draws up its huge, club-like hands. There is only a moment to act before it strikes! [sblock=Milestone] Everybody gets an action point! For reference, the milestones I've counted so far are: Encounter 0: Marglespat Skill challenge 1: Chasing the bandit - milestone - Encounter 1: bandits Encounter 2: warforged hunter and taints - milestone - Encounter 3: hobgoblin with drakes Encounter 4: necromancer with wraiths - milestone - Skill challenge 2: Running from the elemental (failed) Encounter 5: stone elemental So if you survive this encounter, that's another milestone. [/sblock] [sblock=Status] As the end of the skill challenge, lightning strikes the two people that failed - that's Tonk and Mikara. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2321967/]Lightning vs Tonk, then Mikara (targets Reflex) (1d20+8=11, 1d10+4=12, 1d20+8=20, 1d10+4=5)[/url] Miss Tonk, hit Mikara for 5. Well, that couldn't have been MUCH more useless. Initiative: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2321963/]Initiative: Blade, Dextyr, Mikara, Tonk, Tristan, Elemental (1d20+0=10, 1d20+1=9, 1d20+4=18, 1d20+4=21, 1d20+4=21, 1d20+4=17)[/url]. The tree stumps are difficult terrain, the trees themselves are blocking terrain and block line of sight. Due to the mud, everyone's speed is reduced by 2 - you can run to move at regular speed, but must make a DC 15 Balance check - if you fail, you can't move, if you fail by 5 or more, you fall prone. Don't forget the elemental's Reach 2 when checking for opportunity attacks. Tonk, Tristan and Mikara get to go before the elemental. Tonk at N15 ([color=Red]3/24 hp[/color]) Tristan at F14 ([color=Lime]28/28 hp[/color] Mikara at J13 ([color=Lime]19/24 hp[/color]) Stone Elemental at K13 ([color=Green]275/275[/color]) Blade at E9 ([color=Lime]29/29 hp[/color]) Dextyr at O6 ([color=Lime]14/28 hp[/color]) [/sblock] [IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/14mf2wm.png[/IMG] [sblock=Enemies] [b]Stone Elemental[/b] [b]HP:[/b] 275; [b]Bloodied:[/b] 137 [b]AC:[/b] 20; [b]Fort:[/b] 24, [b]Reflex:[/b] 18, [b]Will:[/b] 20 [b]Melee Basic Attack:[/b] [i]Brute Slam[/i] Reach 2; +10 vs AC; 2d8+5 damage, and target is pushed 1 square.
