H4H: Red Hand of Doom (full)

[s@squ@tch]

Well, I got a good roll for the cast defensively check, so I think the 9 damage should drop him and give me some breathing room.

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

If Virashil and Kirrg drop their hobbies this round why don't you guys retreat towards the building where the worgs/goblins came out of. Between Duroin's current hp and my ability to negate up to 10pts of damage a round through stone power's temporary hp we should be able to handle the stragglers until the manticore decides to come down.

I say Virashil procures a scroll of permanent and a scroll of magnificent mansion and casts us a refuge that we could live and feast in forever.

If Kirrg drops his opponent, he can get into the Worg's Hold. I'd like for him to still get an attack in, but I understand his survival is important. This is a tough fight, and I'd much rather him stay out there, providing a flanking bonus with his big ol' Axe. We'll see what the situation dictates, but I believe withdrawing to be prudent.

Update is up.

The Hobbies seem like they are on thier last legs. But that pesky Manticore is as fresh as a daisy!

Has the tide turned for our heroes? Or have they just been softened up to become Manticore food?

GAH! Why does everything in this module have class levels???? That damn hobbie has taken at least 20 hp of damage and is still walking!

I need Duroin to come sneak attack the hell out of #4 to help me out. I don't want to burn another spell slot on a hobbie, and I can't drink a potion with him sweatin' me.

And does the manticore prefer light or dark meat?

I will say your HP guesstimate is pretty accurate.

To get a flank bonus (and hence a sneak attack) you would actually have to "threaten" a target. Currently Virishal does not yet "threaten" Hobby4.

...and The Manticore prefers fresh meat.

 

[s@squ@tch]

changed my mind.

 

[Rhun]

Well, the fodder has been dealt with...now let's see if any of us survive the big baddies.

 

[s@squ@tch]

Well, the manticore just got a lot less effective in melee, with 9 strength being drained, hopefully that will keep you melee types from dropping so fast.
