[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 4835426, member: 79945"] Almost as if the orc realizes that Mikara has taken her eyes off it, it suddenly dashes to one side and darts around Vrssk't's grasp, heading for the portal. Although it's now bleeding both from dozens of tiny dagger cuts and from the arrow in its calf, it manages to get past both the dragonborn and the cloud of daggers and keep running. Just as it takes its third step, Morvannon steps from the woods, raising a rigid hand to point at the orc, staring at it intently and whispering intensely: [color=Orange]"No, not that way. Nothing but death awaits you there! Can't you see the - AAAAH!"[/color] Morvannon sags back, holding his head. [sblock=Morvannon] Your spell is abruptly cut short, snapping back on you, and the voice of your elemental patron echoes in your head: [color=Lime]"Not that one. It is protected by a bargain. You may do as you wish, but my hands are tied.[/color] [/sblock] Morvannon staggers to his feet, grits his teeth, and reaches his hand out again. This time a wave of fire washes over the orc, which stumbles and falls to its knees. The bag drops from its hand, spilling gold across the ground. It makes a feeble grasp at the gold, then gives it up and hurls itself forward through the portal, which closes behind it with a loud SNAP. You're left alone in the clearing with nothing but Dennis's body, the spilled sack of loot, and a strange circle of symbols scratched in the dirt. [sblock=OOC] Morvannon acts: Minor action: Warlock's Curse on the orc Standard action: Curse of the Dark Dream on the orc, which if it hits will let him slide it away from the portal. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2128940/]It misses with a natural 1[/url] Action point: Needing to use a non-Warlock power, he casts Scorching Burst on the orc, which [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2128948/]hits for 8 damage[/url] plus [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2128950/]6 curse damage[/url]. Start of the orc's turn. Its now taken 14 (arrow) + 7 (cloud of daggers) + 14 (scorching burst) = 35 damage, bloodying it. It takes 5 more ongoing from the arrow (40 damage), and 3 more for starting in the cloud of daggers (43 damage)... leaving it with 3 hit points left. So close! [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
