[IC] The Protectors of Greensfen (Part II)

[nerdytenor]

Moreen slashes at the beast once more, but is rebuffed by a parrying spider-leg.

The beast scurries backwards and launches three more hairy spikes at Karis, Moreen, and Rellek. Karis is hit, and she feels her world slow down as poison courses through her veins.

Moreen misses beast (assume steps forward).
Beast recharges tingly-spines (needed 5/6 rolled 6)
Beast shifts back one square.

Beast attacks Rellek, Moreen, and Karis with tingly spines.
+4 vs Fort against
Karis = 19, HIT. 5 ongoing poison damage, slowed (save ends both)
Moreen = 11, MISS
Rellek = 8, MISS

Status (Everyone - your turn)
*Beast and Moreen are both one square north from last map.*

NEXT Karis (24/34, 5 ongoing poison and slowed (save ends both),
-2 to all attacks (save ends))
NEXT Rellek (41/41)
NEXT Joshua (unharmed)
NEXT Todarr (27/39, 5 tmp hp, -2 to all attacks (save ends))
NEXT Moreen (44/46, 2 tmp hp)
Nasty Beast: (45 damage taken, challanged by Moreen, Rellek's quarry)

 

[covaithe]

Karis delays, hoping that someone will move to allow her to flank.

 

[The Digger]

Joshua, staff in hand, strode forward, ready to do battle and aid his companions. With a precise wave of his hand a ball of fire erupted next to the spider creature.

[sblock=OOC]Move to O13; Scorching Burst 15 vs Ref; 7 damage; Roll Lookup [/sblock]

 

[PennStud77]

[sblock=Move]Move to I9. Do not recall if beast has reach, so I will skirt around the block to the south if no reach. If the beast has demonstrated that it can reach, then I will attempt to not draw an opportunity attack by jumping up onto (and quickly traversing) the stone. I imagine this would require an Athletics check: 14 +7 = 21 (fingers crossed)[/sblock]

[sblock=Standard]Steel Monsoon: 17 +9 -2 (aftereffect) = 24 vs Reflex (higher if Karis is flanking, but I doubt it), I'm hoping a hit for 15 +5 = 20 damage, and 2 allies within 5 squares (anyone but Joshua) can shift 1 square each for free (feel free to use it in your description; first come first served)[/sblock]

[sblock=Save]Attempt to save vs. aftereffect: 11 = SAVE (Damn, InvisibleCastle loves me today!!)[/sblock]

 

[Arbanax]

Rellek moves to F8 holding back away from the creature to try and prevent any opportunity attacks and set up a flanking move with Moreen.

[sblock=attack]
He then will let loose with twin strike once again...
Roll 1 = 10
Roll 2 = 17

Assuming I am flanking I get combat advantage so I might have just hit on that second shot for:
For 4 damage + hunters Q= 8 – 12 damage total, possible if and maybe.

[/sblock]

 

[BlueLotus]

Moreen hid behind her shield to protect herself from the salvo, then kept up her attacks and defenses to hold the beast's attention. At another opening, she swept her blade diagonally in a vicious cut across its chitin armored body

[sblock=actions]
move - if necessary, Moreen will close to melee range
standard - righteous smite 1d20+7=21, 2d8+3=15
if it hits then everyone in 5 squares of Moreen gets 7 temporary hitpoints
[/sblock]

 

[nerdytenor]

Joshua's flame manages to lick the corners of the beast, but does no real damage.

Moreen and Rellek move to circle the beast. One of Rellek's axes strikes true, as Moreen's holy blow sends the spider quaking and renews the party's confidence.

Meanwhile, Todarr strikes a vicious blow of his own, distracting the beast and allowing his allies to move into position.

OOC: Beast does have reach, but not threatening reach.
I'm going to assume you were all going for flanking and delaying, etc. etc. So Rellek's second attack hits.

Rellek hist once for 12 damage.

Joshua misses

Moreen hits for 15, everyone but Joshua gains 7 tmp hp.

Todarr hits for 20 damage. Todarr saves against aftereffect.

 

[nerdytenor]

Karis is next

Status (Karis is next)

NEXT Karis (24/34, 7 tmp hp, 5 ongoing poison and slowed (save ends both),
-2 to all attacks (save ends))
(already went) Rellek (41/41, 7 tmp hp)
(already went) Joshua (unharmed)
(already went) Todarr (27/39, 7 tmp hp)
(already went) Moreen (44/46, 7 tmp hp)
Nasty Beast: (82 damage taken, challanged by Moreen, Rellek's quarry)

 

[covaithe]

Karis steps forward and attempts to plunge her sword into the socket of one of the many-jointed legs. Unfortunately, the erratic twitching and jerking of the thing throws off her aim, and her sword skitters harmlessly off of chitin.

ooc: shift to I6, riposte strike hits AC 15 for 16 damage. I assume that's a miss. Grr.
