Catastrophe!

[CrimsonFlameWielder]

OOC: I have updated my post above with a picture of the current situation. Will take into account the Shocking Feedback right now in my notes.

 

[Medina]

The acid stings into Corragan's newly opened wounds, causing him to fall back and real in pain. As he hears the rumble of the other Kruthik below, he mutters as his body shifts back into elven form, "We're going to need some help here". He holds himself tall and calls upon Jeremy Fisher to come to their aid. The toad appears and lashes out at the queen as Corragan backs away to recover.

OOC: Just to confirm, I think Corragan has taken 18 damage. 28 as showing after the Queen's attacks - 5 from the Queens charge, -5 from the acid spray (due to the resistance 5 that Sha'kar granted) +0 acid damage through the resistance from the start of the turn.

OOC: [MENTION=6684473]CrimsonFlameWielder[/MENTION] When are we looking at an update mate? It would be good to perhaps make a concerted effort to finish this encounter and then head for the boat.

 

[CrimsonFlameWielder]

OOC: Sorry guys. Work + school has left me with literally no means of doing computer stuff until now. I will be providing you with an update today.

 

[CrimsonFlameWielder]

The sounds of battle rage among the adventurers and the kruthik, who fight for their territory. Suddenly, the metallic sounds of digging can be heard directly beneath Boris, and a single claw shoots up from beneath the crumbling ground and stabs into Boris' leg, pulling him down into the hole created by the sentinel's burrowing. At the same time, another sentinel resurfaces, see's Boris' precarious position, and pounces, slashing him. Thanks to his magical blade, however, the wounds are not serious. That may not be the case soon if Boris cannot get away from the thrashing menace he's been entrapped with, though!

[sblock=Boris]
Roll a save vs falling prone.
[/sblock]

After being blasted by lightning and shoved away from Dina's magical eye, the Kruthik Queen screams in anger before loosing more globs of acid onto her closest attackers, whipping around to spray Sha'kar as well. The spray is tremendously potent this time, burning flesh with the sickly smell of melting skin and hair.

Feeling the vibrations of a new meal appear above her, the Kruthik Princess burrows straight up to the surface and pounces on the Giant Toad that Corragan summoned. Hearing the queen scream in agony only pushed the princess into a further state of ferocity, and the toad was instantly sent back to its summoning plane when the princess' claw sliced cleanly through it's bulbous neck.


[sblock=Actions]

KS3 -
Move: Burrows to the surface beneath Boris
Standard: Attacks Boris with claw grab, hitting AC 21 for 4 damage and grabbing him. This causes Boris to fall into the 5' hole alongside KS3 (roll save to keep from falling prone). While grabbing Boris, KS3 has +2 AC and Reflex and deals 6 damage with his aura if Boris is adjacent to him (same square is adjacent).

KS4 -
Move: Burrows to the surface
Standard: Attacks Boris with claw grab, hitting AC 20 for 4 damage and grabbing him. While grabbing Boris, KS4 has +2 AC and Reflex and deals 6 damage with his aura if Boris is adjacent to him.

Queen -
Standard: Attacks Dina, Corragan, and Sha'kar with Acid Spray, rolling 25 vs Dina's Fort, 18 vs Corragan's Fort, and 18 vs Sha'kar's Fort, dealing each of them 10 acid damage (Corragan only takes 5 of this due to resistances)

Princess -
Move: Burrows to the surface near the Giant Toad, moving within the Queen's aura.
Standard: Attacks the Giant Toad with MBA claw, hitting AC 28 for 24 damage (double damage from queen's aura), instantly destroying the Giant Toad.

Deciding to help out Dina, Ignatz moves around the queen for a devastating strike.

[sblock=actions]Move: Q49
Standard: Pressing Strike vs Queen
Shift to S50
Pressing Strike (1d20+9+2=30, 4d6.minroll(2)+1d6+7+5=26)
Hits 30 AC for 26 damage (including the eye)[/sblock]

Dina starts to feel faint from the acid, but instead of tending to herself, encouraged Ignatz to try to injure it further.
With the queen injured, Dina then takes a moment to tend to her wounds.

[sblock=actions]Start of Turn: 5 acid
Standard: Commander's Strike (Ignatz takes MBA against the queen with +2 to hit and +5 damage).
Melee Basic Attack (1d20+9+2+2=29, 2d6.minroll(2)+7+5+5=26)
Hits AC 29 for 26 damage.
Minor: Curative Admixture (heal self for surge value + 4 = 13 hp).
Move: Relocate Punishing Eye to Q51
End of Turn: Saving Throw (1d20=16) (SUCCESS)[/sblock]

OOC: Well that was a productive turn. BTW, My max hit points should be 39, not 34.

[sblock=Queen violates Boris' Mark: Immediate Reaction]The Queen was marked by Boris. Were the -2 penalty included in the attack rolls? May or may not make a difference. It means 16 vs Corragan or Sha'kar's FORT if it wasn't included.

The Queen also takes 4 radiant damage as an immediate reaction which will do +5 psychic damage thanks to the eye for a total of 9 dmg. [/sblock]

OOC: Edit: Damn, already used my AP. That would have been awesome. So just the one pulling me down is dead (KS3)

Boris tries to keep his feet as he is pulled towards the hole. His instincts cause him to lash out left and right at the kruthik below and beside him as he roars: "Light guide my blade!"

His prayers are answered. His blade slices through the attacker pulling him downwards like a hot knife through butter. The strike of the blow is strong enough to send the body flying away from him, cut cleanly in two.

He struggles with all his might to escape the grab of the other critter who has him held from the side but Boris uses all of his will to even move in his massively heavy suit of armour, let alone shake a rabid kruthik of his back. Fearlessly, Boris open himself up for attack in order to maintain his challenge upon the Queen. He raises his blade towards the Queen and he bellows once more sending a powerful echo throughout the cave: "Come and face the Light creature! You will not harm my companions! They have given me a name! I am Boris! You will face me alone or your eyes will burn inside your head!"

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Eldritch Strike vs KS3
Edit: I have already used AP
Move Action: Escape Grab: Athletics vs FORT: Fail
Minor: Sustain Crown of Stars: Ranged attk vs Queen provokes OAtk from KS4
End of turn Boris takes 6 dmg from KS4 aura, reduced to 5 by his sword.
Miss: But Divine Challenge is maintained on Queen

[CrimsonFlameWielder]

OOC: Thanks [MENTION=75065]jbear[/MENTION], I had actually forgotten about the attack penalty, which means that Sha'kar was not hit by the acid blast. I will increase his hit-points accordingly

 

[Medina]

OOC: I think Corragan's move was missed again - he should be in Q57, which hopefully puts him out of range of the Queen's blast. I'll post Corragan's turn shortly.
