Daunton's Dead Shadow (DM:Ukingsken, Judge:????)

[CaBaNa]

Seeing others rush away from the Hammerer, Kamotz looks downfield, only to see Morvannon laying in the dirt. The shifter can't ignore the peril to one of his only friends, and takes a blow from the dwarves hammer as he begins moving toward Morvannon.

Suddenly the shifter breaks into a run, covering much more distance than normal, a ball of black fire swirling in over the shaggy hand pointing at Morvannon. Speaking to Death of Morvannon's purpose, Morvannon's duty, his vital role to Lauto's plan, Kamotz releases the prayers energy in a single word, and throws the ball of black fire directly at the warlock.

The flames burn away any infection, and even the bolts that were deeply embedded into Kamtoz friend.

While the shifter tends to his companion, Vrrsk't is busy with his own enemies. Dodging another nip from the wolf, Vrrsk't sees his first big opening in the battle, and in one swift spin, brings his flail to bear over the top of the wolf's head, crunching bone and breaking teeth.







[sblock=OOC]

I wish Morv had failed his save, he'd be up now if he did...

Cov, Vrrsk't's mark on Hyena 3 is still active, as Vrrsk't ended his turn adjacent to H3 and satisfies his "engagement" clause. Wolf 1 is also marked. Unless I missed something (which as usual is very likely.)

Kamtoz

Move to V14 provokes from hammerer (Hits for 5 damage)

Standard run to AC12

Minor Healing word on Morvannon spends a surge and regains an additional 14 HP

Vrrsk't

Standard Radiant Smite on Wolf 1 (CRIT) wolf 1 takes 28 damage (I don't know exactly what magic weapon Vrrsk't has, so have no idea what to roll for Crit Dice. )

Both marks still active.

Round 7

Vixo plunges his dagger into the hammer-wielding dwarf's back, shouting for someone to engage the archer.

Grakk takes this advice, charging across the ground with incredible speed and slashing the crossbowman, drawing the first blood on that foe.

Morvannon lies on the ground, breathing ragged but steady.

Magnus conjures more flying razors. The onslaught is too much for the wolf nearest Kamotz, who gives a last howl and collapses. The magical blades continue to thrum ominously through the air.

Kamotz, heedless of his own safety, sprints across the grounds after Morvannon, taking a blow to his own back for his trouble. His prayers close the warlock's wounds, stopping the blood and snapping his eyes open.

Vrrsk't catches one of the wolves with a mighty blow, nearly killing it. Still, it surges forward, and, with the help of the hyena to the paladin's rear, brings him down to the ground once more. Vrrsk't is bleeding heavily now.

Vixo, alone against the hammer-wielding dwarf, catches a solid blow to the gut.

The bowman facing Grakk takes a careful step away from the barbarian and levels the crossbow at him. He can hardly miss from such short range, but the bolt is too small to stop the rampaging warrior.

[sblock=ooc]Vixo hits the hammerer for 14. He's bloodied.

Grakk charges, using combat sprint, and hits the bolter for 10.

Morvannon makes his death save. I think his concealment wears off, yes?

Magnus kills wolf 3 and leaves a cloud of daggers in that square.

Kamotz moves, taking 5 from an OA. He's bloodied again. He runs and heals Morvannon, who spends a surge and goes up to 22. (negative HP don't count against healing.)

Vrrsk't's mark doesn't remain active, even though he engaged, because he switched his divine challenge to someone else: "The target remains marked until you use this power against another target, or if you fail to engage the target". Vrrsk't crits for 28+1 against the wolf, which doesn't quite kill it.

Hyena 3 attacks Vrrsk't: 27 vs AC hits for 7 damage. Wolf 1 does likewise: 23 vs AC hits for 3, and Vrrsk't is knocked prone again.

Hammerer fails to recharge shield bash. He attacks Vixo, 18 vs. AC hits for 10 damage.

Bolter steps away from Grakk and shoots him, 25 vs. AC hits for 10 damage.

Morvannon's eyes snap wide open as the power of Kamotz's god sweeps over him.

*AAARRRRRGH! stupid gods and their meddling*
*Would you rather have a dead vessel?*
*.....i choose not to answer that.*

"My thanks, Kamotz!" cries the warlock as he struggles to his feet. Focusing his ire on the dwarf who felled him, he raises his rod to the sky, bringing it down with a wordless shout as white-hot fire flashes over the dwarf's figure, leaving agonizing flashes of pain in its wake.

[dimsdale]

Grakk watches the bolt go by and then smiles as he lifts his blade, then strikes down hard. The fury of the blow triggers hidden strength within the barbarian. He yanks his weapon out of the staggering foe, and with a mighty roar "aaaAAAGGGGHHHHH!", thrusts it again into the bowman's stomach lifting him off his feet. The bowman's eye's roll into the back of his head in pain.

Seeing Morvannon pop back up Magnus wheeled about, whipping his staff around and conjuring another cloud of razor sharp shards, this time around the hyena menacing Vrrsk't. Magnus closed in on the other canine waving his staff threateningly as his spell did its grisly work.

[sblock=ooc]

Cloud of Daggers: vs Ref [Area: S8] (1d20+6=26)

[CaBaNa]

Kamotz salutes Morvannon casually, and turns around approaching the wolf from Magnus' side. Wreathing his shaggy hand in violet, black, and white flame, the shifter throws the combo with surprising speed at the wolf, and Magnus. The flames sunder moments before impact and hit their respective targets with both negative and positive energy.

Vrrsk't shifts and assumes a defensive stance, then calls out, Come little dwarf, surrender to the light. as he beckons the hammerer with a single hand.

Round 8

Morvannon rises and launches a blast of white-hot flame at the archer, leaving him badly burned and shaking. His pain doesn't last long, though, as Grakk lunges forward and plants four feet of steel through his chest, lifting the spitted dwarf off of his feet and holding him aloft as blood sprays everywhere.

Vixo, despite being left to face the armored dwarf alone, uses his magic blade to find a weak spot, and pulls a foot of bloody steel out of his foe. The dwarf is badly wounded, staying on his feet through sheer will.

Magnus fills the air with flying razors again, which do their bloody work on one of the two remaining hounds. The other drops when Kamotz blasts it with vengeful holy radiance, leaving Vrrsk't free to advance on the last dwarf. "Come little dwarf, surrender to the light," the big dragonborn calls.

The dwarf, badly wounded and alone, lets his hammer and shield fall to the ground, raising his hands in surrender. "Aye, Ah doon wha Ah could. Ye've kilt me pack, an ye've beaten me square. Ef ye'll spare me life, Ah'll gie ye nae mair trouble."

End combat

[sblock=ooc]Morvannon stands and hits the bolter for 17 fire. It is bloodied and takes -5 to attacks (tent Morv)

Vixo activates duelist's blade, and hits the hammerer for 22.

Grakk crits the bolter for 25 29 (the 1d8 is maxed too, by my reading), which drops him. Grakk gains 4 temp hp.

Magnus drops the hyena, and moves to flank the wolf.

Kamotz regens 2. He drops the wolf.

Vrrsk't uses second wind and challenges the hammerer.

Hammerer surrenders.
