Defenders of the Blackfeather - Tariff of Relkingham

[garyh]

After finishing off the berserker, Hal takes a careful step to engage both the remaining thugs (Shift to J12)

Sena moves towards the previously untouched thug, and touches him plenty with her greataxe. The lifedrinker slices into his chest and a flare of necrotic energy pushes the thug closer to death as a surge of holy energy shows Hal where to strike next.

Move action - Move to J14.

Standard action - Righteous Brand against Orange.

Righteous Brand (Orange) (1d20 8=28, 1d12 6=14) / Critical (1d6=5) / High Crit (1d12=10)

CRITICAL HIT! for 28 damage and 5 necrotic damage (33 total damage). On a hit, Hal gets +3 to melee attacks against Orange until the end of Sena's next turn. (First crit roll was for the magic weapon, second was because I realized greataxes are high crit and do maxW + W)

Lindus carefully steps back, takes aim at the thug he missed last time, and fires twin arrows.

Move action - Shift to M14.

Standard action - Twin Strike against Red.

Twin Strike (HQ) against Red (1d20 9=17, 1d10 2=5, 1d20 9=11, 1d10 2=5)

The first attack hits AC 17 for 5 damage, and the second attack hits AC 11 for 5 damage. Hunter's Quarry adds another 5 damage if either attack hit (probably a hit and a miss for 10 total damage). (This attack was originally aimed at Orange, but upon fixing Sena's crit damage, I decided to fire instead at Red, who had Hunter's Quarry still on him, but missing from reconstructing the fight).

Minor action - Hunter's Quarry on Mage.

schoolhouse 5.1

Sena's masterful blow to Orange does a whopping 33 damage, leaving the foe bleeding heavily.

Lindus's first arrow hits Red, doing 11 damage and eliminated the thug.

Before Orange can act, he takes 3 damage from Hal's Rain of Steel. He then knocks Hal's elbow with his club doing 3 damage to the fighter.

The mage shifts to L16, moves to M14 and lets loose another blast of thunder at Lindus. The elf is not strong enough to resist. The sound waves do 7 damage and the ranger is pushed to

Schoolhouse 5.2

Hal eliminates Orange and then moves next to the mage.

Sena's axe tear's through the mage's thin armor doing 15 damage and aiding Hal when he next attacks the mage.

Both of Lindus's arrows hit the schoolhouse wall instead of his target.

Cornered and desperate, the mage takes out her dagger and stabs Sena for 1 damage.

Lindus fires again at the mage, this time to better results.

Move action - Move to J12.

Standard action - Twin Strike against Mage.

Now hits AC 16 instaed of 12 for that 9 damage.

Heh. If AC 16 hits, she just took 56 damage in a round (plus the skipped 1d10+2 from Rain of Steel, and another 1d10+2 from RoS before she can act again). She's toast.
