Insight's "Against the Blackstag Cult" (IC) - Chapter One: The River Barge Incident

[EvolutionKB]

Erevan strides forward, yanking the arrows from his shoulder. He calls out to Iados. "This battle is not even close to over, fight on Iados!" He gestures with his blade, and a burst of fire scorches the ground. The archer, his target, is able avoid the blast easily.

Reassured by the tree behind him, Ulrik is quick to act and focuses on the Cultist approaching his companions from behind. There is a slight glow around his hands as he channels arcane energy.

"Get the archers!" Erevan says to Iados. The eladrin steps out into the open, and charges the spearman. He ducks and spins at the last moment, his natural agility keeping him on his feet as he aims a back hand slash at the spearman's knees.

Iados shouts, "On 'em!"

Quickly Iados voice takes on a surreal bass, as the tiefling speaks in the tongue of Deep Speech, lending his words power, power that issues forth a blast of eldritch power that follows a path toward the target that he just cursed.

ROUND TWO
Init Order:
IADOS: 22
ULRIK: 16
BLACKSTAG ARCHERS: 15
REGDAR: 15
EREVAN: 13
ARJHAN: 10
BLACKSTAG SPEARMEN: 6

IADOS takes a Minor Action to place a Warlock's Curse - with Fate of the Void - on Blackstag Spearman 1.
IADOS takes a Standard Action to use Eldritch Blast on Blackstag Spearman 1: MISS!

Note: Iados' closest enemy he can see is Spearman 1, hence he must curse this target. I have altered Iados' actions to reflect this.

ULRIK takes a Standard Action to use Cloud of Daggers on square AC71 (colored blue on the map). Blackstag Spearman 1 takes 3 automatic damage and is slain!

Note: 'BT' is Brian Thorvald. I am going to assume you don't want to attack him. He is a non-combatant at this point.

Blackstag Archer 1 takes a Move Action to move from AD58 to AA62 (4 squares).
Blackstag Archer 1 takes a Standard Action to use his Longbow against Regdar: HIT for 9 damage!
Blackstag Archer 2 takes a Standard Action to use his Longbow against Arjhan: HIT for 13 damage! OUCH
Blackstag Archer 3 takes a Move Action to move from AD65 to AG61 (5 squares).
Blackstag Archer 1 takes a Standard Action to use his Longbow against Ulrik: CRIT for 13 damage!

REGDAR takes a Move Action to shift from AM73 to AN74 (1 square).
REGDAR takes a Standard Action to use Reaping Strike on Blackstag Spearman 4: HIT! Blackstag Spearman 4 is slain.

EREVAN takes a Move Action to move from AI73 to AM67 (6 squares).
EREVAN takes a Standard Action to use his Javelin against Blackstag Archer 3: 1d20+5=22 vs AC - HIT for 1d6+3=7 damage!

ARJHAN takes a Move Action to move from AO71 to AO65 (6 squares).

Note - Erevan & Arjhan: I had to choose actions for you since your posted actions were invalidated by prior actions. I couldn't find a better option for Arjhan than moving into what is total cover from Archer 3 and getting into position to attack for next round.

- END OF ROUND Two -


Note1: Please see the attached map. Enlarge it to around 400% to see stuff (it's a big freaking map!). The map is updated to the end of Round Two.
Note2: On the map, I have marked difficult terrain as a triangle and cover as the Greek letter Theta (I can't seem to to reproduce them here - you'll figure it out). If you are behind 2 squares of cover, you are considered to have total cover.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Ulrick recoils from the pain of the arrow. "another one llike this and I am gone!" he mutters to himself. He'll duck on the ground for additional cover, and focus on controlling his pain

Note: If archer 1 gets within range of Ulrik this round, the wizard will use an action point to cast a cloud of daggers on A1

Ducking behind the tree to hide from the archer, Arjhan moves stealthily out of his hiding place creaping up to the next tree. From behind it he launches a shuriken in to the archer's neck.

[sblock=ooc]Thats perfect I was wanting to move into position to take a stealth check to get combat advantage with my shuriken or dagger attacks. This will work perfectly I think, just gotta check up on the new stealth rules.

He would've chosen to hide at the end of that move. stealth (1d20+8=27)

Init: 10
Hit Points: 12/25 ~ bloodied
Surges Remaining: 7/7
Action Points: 0/1

Move: to AK63
Standard: basic ranged attack with Shuriken atk (with combat advantage), dmg, combat advantage (1d20+8=22, 1d6+3=9, 2d6+3=9) hopefully a hit for 18 dmg.
Minor:

If I understand the stealth rules, I hide at the end of my move action last round (there was probably a -5 to that roll). Then on this round I can move forward and attack with combat advantage. I couldn't tell if I needed another stealth check for the move up to the closer tree, if so here it is: stealth (1d20+8=15) with potentially a -5 for moving so far. Man these are actually confusing rules.

Note that if I've got it wrong, I'd still have moved up that far and used the shuriken attack above without combat advantage.[/sblock]
