[IC] The Protectors of Greensfen (Part II)

[sblock=ooc]

Now if he wants to follow me Karis and Kraegyn will both get an opportunity attack if he tries it. Will he still be dazed when he nexts act, or does that wear off at the start of his turn?

He'll still be dazed; it lasts till the end if Karis' next turn. Since he's dazed, he'll almost certainly attack Karis rather than wasting his single action moving after Blay. That's okay; better that Karis takes the hit than Kraegyn at this point.

We should try to finish off that leader, so that our defender can get over and protect the squishies.

Rellek's Spirit seemed overwhelmed, blow after blow had been turned back. But then as Joshua's assailant crowded in Rellek resolved to steel himself as his blood boiled within.

[sblock=crunch]

ok NT Rellek will trigger disruptive strike at the point when H1 attacked Joshua that gives the guard a -5 attack penalty to his attack -the only thing I'm not clear on is do I have to attack with it...since it gives me an immediate attack, but not a move? I guess that might foreclose the deal since I can't strike and move.

In any case I am going to move to square E5 and use dire wolverine strike on H1 and H3 because I am bloodied I get +1 to attack.

ok against h3: 10

H1 18 to hit, Damage 1d10+5, plus 1d6 hunters quarry= 14 damage

I will also use an action point to spend a healing surge and regain 12 hp its also + 2 to defences...

[/sblock]

With all his might Rellek struck about him seeking to end this fight in order to help his new found friends. But clearly his plan faced as setback as his first blow missed, determined Rellek managed to slip past the other human guard his Thunder Axe clipping him - hopefully decisively, Rellek hoped.

Kraegyn stayed focused on the task at hand- bringing down the leader of this bunch of brigands. He swung another sweeping blow, and this time the leader's glaive parry was too weak to stop the cut, and the wave-bladed sword slammed home in a clash of metal on metal.

As he swept his sword back into a guard position, Kraegyn glanced over his shoulder to see how the rest of the fight was going- not good... Hopefuly this part wouldn't take too much longer. "Come on Joshua! Let the strength of Kord lift you up- this fight ain't done!" He called out, attempting to lend confidence to the injured mage. Then he gave the other warforged a wide, fang-filled grin. "You're next- are you ready to get beaten on?"

OOC: Another Valiant Strike at the leader- with +1 for bloodied and +2 for adjacent foes; attack total 1d20+12= 26 (hit), for 11 damage; rolls: Roll Lookup ; then using my Daily Inspiring Word on Joshua- he can spend a surge and gets 1d6 extra HP. If my attack drops the leader, then Divine Challenge the 'forged soldier with a minor action.

OOC: Hammered at work last three days - this weekend not much better. Thanks for your patience.

 

[The Digger]

Any chance of a resolution of Rellek's actions before Joshua posts? I will be away from Sat through Monday and would like to get a post in before I go.

 

[nerdytenor]

OOC: Sure - Rellek won't be able to use disruptive strike since he isn't adjacent to the target and doesn't have reach. However, his twin strike kills H1.

 

[The Digger]

"Now you have made me angry." Despite his words only the iciness of his tone revealed Joshua's anger; he was not used to being dumped on his backside in an inn by such as these!

With surprising agility he leapt to his feet and, ignoring his arcane wizardry, smote the remaining soldier hard with his staff.

“Take that you swine!”

[sblock=OOC] Stand up (Move action) I had a series of attacks in process (inc a crit rolled!) until Rellek jumped in front and got in the way. Since I couldn’t figure out how to repair this I decided to re-roll and just hit the bas..rd with me staff - and got another crit! 25 (crit) on h3. 10 damage [/sblock][sblock=OOC]
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2040269/
+5 from the staff http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2040281/
= 15 damage.

Surge spent (+2) courtesy of Kraegyn: return to 27/34; [/sblock]
[sblock=OOC2] Victorious Leather Armor +1 (homebrewed) - property: when you score a critical hit, you gain a +2 item bonus to all defenses until the start of your next turn. [/sblock]

Karis is next

Blay tries to connect with the warforged in front of him, but his sword just doesn't seem to be up to the job today - it glances off the enemy without effect (OOC: critical miss )

Rellek swings again with his axes, and for once they do not disappoint. One of the guards falls from Rellek's mighty blow (OOC: H1 is toast, Rellek gets 2 tmp hp from Blay this round. Rellek did not get to use disruptive strike because the target was not adjacent (reach weapon) Rellek gains 12 hp, +2 defenses. I'm assuming you want to mark H3 with your quarry since you couldn't have known your other quarry was going to die in advance.).

The damage from Kraegyn's latest blow is too much even for the powerful machine to bear - it gives one last glance at its mechanical ally, and falls to the ground, now nothing more than a collection of parts. (OOC: Enemy leader is dead. Joshua heals surge plus an extra 2 hp. Kraegyn marks the other 'forged)

Joshua surprises nearly everyone in the bar when his staff let's out a loud thwump as it connects with the head of the nearby soldier. (OOC: 10 damage, armor bonus).

Karis tries to stab the dazed soldier again, but her sword bounces ineffectively off a tough shoulder plate. She ducks to the side again, cursing silently

[sblock=actions]standard: riposte strike misses on a natural 2.
move: to M7 and stealth 17 if you'll allow it.

[nerdytenor]

Everyone - your turn

Karis tries to duck out of sight, but the 'forged has no intention of losing sight of her again. (OOC miss, stealth fails vs forged (rolled 19), succeeds vs two other enemies).

"Humans - I am claiming control of this operation," the forged says. Whether it feels no emotion or chooses not to reveal it is hard to say.

"You there! Help me with this one." One of the humans and the forged surround Kraegyn, coordinating their strikes. The 'forged just manages to hit (OOC: +12 (+9 base, +1 from adjacent ally to enemy, +2 CA) = 22, HIT, 11 damage)), while the human misses, despite his flanking advantage.

The other remaining human soldier tries to edge around Joshua and Rellek, uncomfortable being so far from the door given how the battle is going. As the soldier raises his weapon against Joshua, Rellek manages to sneak in a quick blow against him. (OOC: Using disruptive strike this turn since you couldn't use it last turn due to positioning - Nat 18 hits, 1d10+5 = 7 damage). The soldier scores a mighty blow against Joshua despite the distraction (OOC: Crit! 12 damage :/. Joshua bloodied again).
