The swordmage was off being killed by a second elite dragon.The warlord first uses Hammer and Anvil, which gives an ally an MBA on the target. So he and the monk both get MBAs. He action points (which deals damage to the dragon), then uses a level 13 encounter Death From Two Sides, which gives the monk another MBA, but this time, if the warlord's and the ally's attack hit, the ally's attack is automatically a critical hit.Needless to say, the warlord hit with the attack, and the monk crit (he actually rolled a natural 20, and didn't need the power). The dragon went from about 120 HP out of 250, to 20 in a single turn. Since the monk crit, I just hand-waived it and said that he punches the thing's head off, and killed it out-right. Was too awesome to not do so.Warlord's are my favorite leaders, since they don't feel like the healbot that most leaders eventually turn into. Like bards, they give out plenty of bonuses, along with quite a few bonus attacks that can really add up.</blockquote>
