Defenders of the Blackfeather - Tariff of Relkingham

[esparkhu]

Hal's Tide of Iron connects and does 14 damage, pushing Green back.

Both drakes send acid spit at Sena for 8 and 7 damage, 15 damage total to Sena.

Note - What is a good way to show temp HP in the initiative line up?

Initiative/ Status
->Lindus - 37/48
Sena - 25 (+5temp)/46
P yellow - down 29, bloodied, HQ
P blue
P green - down 30, bloodied, marked by Hal
Hal - 52/53
D purple - no damage
D red - no damage

Lindus draws his short sword and, with Hal's aid in distracting the beast, plunges into the pseudo-dragon's neck. Lindus then moves to a more advantageous position.

Minor action - Draw shortsword (holding bow in other hand)

Standard action - Basic melee attack against Yellow, with Combat Advantage from flanking, and applying Hunter's Quarry and Sneak Attack

Basic Melee Attack with Short Sword, Hunter's Quarry, and Sneak Attack (Combat Advantage due to flanking with Hal) (1d20+6+2=23, 1d6+1+1d8+2d6=17)

Hits AC 23 for 17 damage.

Move action - If Yellow survives, shift to A18. If Yellow dies, then move to F15

Note - I'd list Temp HP's like so:

Sena 46+5 Temp HP /46

Also note that temp HP are removed first. Sena recieved those 5 temp HP before getting hit, so she should be at 30/46 instead of 25+5.

Sena moves up and attacks the pseudo-dragon still standing near her, then whispers a prayer of healing for herself.

Move action - Move to F12
Standard action - Righteous Brand against Green

Righteous Brand (1d20+8=11, 1d12+6=11)

Hits AC 11 for 11 damage. If successful, Hal will gain a +3 bonus to melee attacks against Green until the end of Sena's next turn.

Road to Wylea 4.2

Lindus's sneak attack deals the final blow to Yellow.

Sena's attack misses and she heals herself.

Green, in desperation, tries to sting Sena with his barbed tail but misses.

Initiative - Status
Lindus - 37/48
Sena - 45 (+5 temp)/46
P yellow - dead
P blue - dead
P green - down 30, bloodied, marked by Hal
Hal - 52/53
D purple - no damage
D red - no damage

 

[garyh]

Hal moves back toward the remaining pseudo-dragon and takes a mighty stab at it with his sword.

Move action - Move to E12
Standard action - Reaping Strike against Green.

Reaping Strike (1d20 11=23, 1d10 6=14)

Hits AC 23 for 14 damage, and if Hal misses, he still does 2 damage. Green is marked until the end of Hal's next turn, taking a -2 to any attacks that don't include Hal, and Hal can take an Opportunity attack Green if it shifts or makes an attack that doesn't include Hal if it does so while Hal is adjacent.

If Hal kills Green, he gains 5 temp HP.

Note - Sena should be at full HP and no temp HP. Her temp HP were used up right after she got them, leaving her with 30/46. She later healed 21, which maxed her out at 46/46.

Road to Wyllea 3.4

Hal stabs the remaining pseudodragon in the chest and the creature falls down dead.

The two drakes, scared by the slaughter of their companions, whine and flee.

The group gains 750 Experience points.

 

[garyh]

Lindus takes a breather after the drakes flee, and is ready to press forward. That done, the group continues along the road to Wyllea.

OOC: Lindus uses one healing surge, which heals him to full HP. Hal is at 52/53 and will not bother using a healing surge. Sena finished the fight at full HP.

Also, I believe the skill challenge with the mayor should have given XP.

Wyllea Palace

You rest for the night on the road. The next day you arrive at the capital of Wyllea around midday.

You are escorted into an opulent sitting room that is decorated in silk tapestries displaying the colors and shield of Delornen. An officious half-elf with wire-rimmed glasses greets you with a suspicious smile.

“I am Fiqinasi, her Highness’s royal steward. In his letter, the mayor of Relkingham speaks extremely highly of your valor and diplomatic skill. If his description of your subjugation of the hell-cats of Joroca is to be believed, you may just have a chance at swaying the Founder’s mind. We shall see.

Is it true you used over a gallon of wine per hell-cat? Never mind, I can tell from the Mayor's letter you clearly are in haste. I will take you to see Founder Neelani at once.”

You are led from the antechamber through a portcullis and into a landing. The landing is an irregularly shaped room with no ceiling. The wall opposite the portcullis is extremely tall and rounded at its edges. A steep and grand staircase leads from the landing to whatever sits at the top of the wall. The steward ascends the stairs, motioning for you to follow him.

Note: Yes, you recieved 500 Exp from your encounter with the Mayor. Don't worry, I have a running tally in my notes.

Palace at Wyllea

After ascending the stairs, you stand in a wide oval-shaped room shielded by a great dome of stained glass, through which the dazzling sunlight filters in the scintillating patterns. The chamber perches atop the palace like a hawk’s aerie – between the pillars that hold up the dome, you can see the rolling hills and forest of Delornen extend off to the horizon.

Eight staircases – each warded by a guard in chainmail – lead down from the elevated chamber, which is flanked by thick pillars. Long tapestries depicting scenes sacred to Erathis hang between the pillars from the edge of the dome, and they flap gently in the breeze.

Fiqinasi announces each of you to Founder Neelani:
"Behold Hal Carter, follower of Kord and courageous slayer of the nine gregarious spiders. Also, Sena Ironhelm, beloved servant of Erathis and healer of the giant crystal eggs. Finally, Lindus Oakleaf, follower of Melora and defender of the bound lady of the marsh."

A raised gold throne of gold-gilded wood and burgundy velvet stands at the center of the room, and upon this Founder Neelani sits. At her side is a lovely young woman, dressed in fine turquoise silk, who fixes a hard stare at your group. From her resemblance to the Founder, you can deduce this is her daughter, Phelycha.

As Founder Neelani beckons, languidly, the steward proclaims haughtily, “Kneel before the Founder Neelani, Erathis’s chosen.”

 

[garyh]

The party follows the steward's command, kneeling before the Founder. Sena - her necklace bearing her holy symbol of Erathis prominently displayed over her Erathis-emblazoned tabard - in front, with Hal and Lindus behind her.
