covaithe's E1: Death's Reach

[stonegod]

Solidifying, Batin leaves the Cambion to her fate and turns only to seem to appear next to the lumbering demon and the trapped rider. He is already in motion, his blade whipping out in an flurry of strikes, the force of it almost staggering the goristo. Then, channeling fire and ice to the weapon, he strikes at the beast again before fading and stepping away. [sblock=Actions]Use boots to teleport to AG35. Minor action to Sword Burst: 43 Ref vs. Rider 3, Crit (naturally) Goristo, 25 force damage to R3, 29 force damage to Goristo and 20 ongoing. Standard action to Greenflame Blade Goristo with combat advantage (using the CA I have): AC 39, 38 cold and fire damage (33 from roll, +5 from vulnerability); if it hit, the Rider 3 also takes 9 fire and cold damage (4 from effect, 5 from vulnerability). Spend AP to move AG38, becoming insubstantial until ENT and provoking OAs.[/sblock][sblock=Batin (insubstantial)]Batin—Male Shadar-Kai Swordmage/Ghost Blade/Planeshaper 21

Round 3, continued

Massacre hovers in place, drifting southwards slightly in the howling winds. His conjured tentacles pulse again. The cambion falls limply to the ground, thoroughly engulfed by dozens of tentacles. The warrior to the south evades the attack, and the one that Anostor just hurled back into the tentacles is hit and bound. Massacre plucks at the strands of fate, ensuring woe for the goristro. (cambion is killed from auto-damage. goristro takes 8. misses rider 2, hits rider 3 for 25 damage. rolls)

Batin flickers again, and with two quick strokes of his blade lays open a huge flap of the goristro's hairy skin. The sheer force of the cut is enough to wound the fallen rider further. He steps away, contemptuous of his foes' ability to strike him. (34 total damage to rider 3, 67 total to goristro, plus 20 ongoing. OA from rider 3 misses, from goristro misses.)

The southern rider, who remains miraculously standing and free of tentacles, bleeds heavily from Batin's earlier stroke. He stumbles out of the tentacle field and strikes a heavy blow at Sarenax, but the dragonborn turns it aside easily. (rider 2 takes 20 from ongoing, bloodying him. Moves to AI27 and misses Sarenax.
Fails save vs. ongoing damage.)

The two remaining mounts quietly expire in the glare of Massacre's aura.

The other rider stands and, with a fierce effort, cuts through the tentacles holding him back. (saves against both slowed and immobilized)

Kalas sees no way to reach his oath target without risking himself, so the revenant teleports away again. This time he reappears near the freed rider. He swings the silver blade and as the weapon connects with his target, the ground erupts in large vines, the plants look sickly and diseased as they wrap around the rider and hamper his movements.

[sblock=Actions]
*I'm assuming an undead controlling the powers of nature would corrupt their appearance

Move: Teleport to flank rider 2 with Sarenex
Standard: Call Forth the Harvest on Rider 2 - Vs AC; Damage (1d20+26=40, 3d8+18=30) *Forgot +2 for CA - hits AC 42 for 30 damage
Secondary: vs. ref (1d20+26=38) Hits Reflex 38. If hits target is marked and slowed TENT
Free: Mark all adjacent enemies (rider 2) - So rider 3 is my oath target, but rider 2 is marked by me.

Next hit on goristro can be made an crit...

Edit: Nothing to see here. Aegis only kicks in if the attack hits.

[sblock=Meta]I didn't use it for Batin's second attack has his Crit wouldn't stack (it'd just be 20, not 40 ongoing AFAIK), so let someone else benefit.[/sblock]

I was reminding others, your natural crit was awesome though!

Kylek directed the icy serpentine conjuration to circle around the massive bulk of the demonic creature bringing a blast of biting cold over the dragonborn's foes from another direction.

Roaring he called upon draconic magic, sweeping misty wings appeared around him for a brief instant and in a powerful downbeat they blasted a maelstrom of freezing wind over the monstrous demon before him. For all the power of the spell though it rolled over the demonic thing unable to harm it. Kylek's features contorted in rage at having his attack rebuffed.


[sblock=ooc]
Since I missed the goristro last time and didn't attack rider 3, I believe their cold vulnerability is gone and thus not counted in my initial attack.

move: move Blackfrost Serpent to AG35

minor: sustain Blackfrost Serpent and it attacks AH,AI,AJ/34,35,36
Blackfrost Serpent: Chr vs Ref. (Target Order: rider 3, goristro) (1d20+26+1=36, 1d20+26=41)
Cold Damage (2d12+27=33) (36 vs rider since he's bloodied) and 5 cold vulnerability TENT.

standard: Downbeat of Wings: Chr vs Fort (Target: goristro) (1d20+26+2=29). Another nat 1, miss.

[CaBaNa]

Massacre chuckles, the sight of Anostor, bounding through the air, was too much for the wizard. Like a panther, Anostor.

The archlich relaxes in the saddle momentarily, reveling in the moment.

Loud clacking begins as Massacre burst with a new round of laughter, Sat to long upon that throne haven't you Kylek? Very pretty display though! Orelal's eyes, the only true expression on the skeletal face, alight, as he jibes his comrade in arms.

 

[Atanatotatos]

Oh, c'mon!! We could've... cough... interrogated her!!! protests Anostor. Besides, I've always like devilish women... he continues, in a lower voice.
