Kobold Battle

The Kobold Dragonshield facing Tarrk is -18hp (11-Tarrk and -7 Aimhirghin). The one facing Basher7 and Khellek is -19hp. Both Kobold Dragonshields are bloodied.

The Dragonshield gets a smug smile on his reptilian face and again attacks Tarrk. He is overconfident, however, and he fails to connect this time. The other Dragonshield is more desperate, however, facing two foes, and he drives his short sword into Basher7 for 7 hp of damage. (7 for Basher7? )

Dragonshield attack/damage against Tarrk, followed by Dragonshield attack/damage against Basher7 (1d20+7=13, 1d6+3=5, 1d20+7=25, 1d6+3=7)

Aimhirghin Maolán (Shoulda Used My Sticks & Stones, My Words Sure Ain't Hurtin' Em)

[sblock=Leif]The KD attacking Tarrk has taken 18 points of damage - 7 from Aimhirghin and 11 from Tarrk (See Posts 109 and 120).[/sblock]

Time to take the starch out of that Kobold flanking Tarrk . . . he's looking pretty bold.

"Great Gods, the Minotaur's the size of a whole barn! What kind of warrior are you? Oh, you're no warrior, you're just a little lizard! Why don't you just leave your little tail wriggling on the ground here as you run off and play with the other Kobold kids?"

Aimhirghin infuses his shouted comments with such penetrating derision that the Dragonshield should actually be staggering from the psychic force of the blow - but the creature's own confidence serves to protect it from ridicule.

Tarrk feels refreshed and bolstered by the bard's magic and successfully strikes the dragonshield.

OOC: Shifting to Flank

OOC: Thanks, Mowgli, for the reminder of damage to Tarrk's foe. (My post below has been edited accordingly, to be current up to the start of the current round, but it does not include damage from this round yet, of course.) Sorry about that! Walking Dad, if you're in one-on-one combat with a creature, I don't think you can flank it just by shifting. As you approach from a different angle, all it has to do is turn in place to be directly facing you. I think the idea is that you need some kind of distraction or something to be able to flank. (Like an attack from your ally or something. Now since you also have Aimhirghin attacking it, albeit with ranged attacks from behind Tarrk, hmmm, I'll have to give that more thought and study. If anyone has anything to offer, please do so in the OOC thread, please.)

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Been awhile since we had a map . . .

OOC:

From post 124 (I think) Basher7 should actually already be at L17 - otherwise he and Tarrk could not be flanking that Dragonshield.

This would mean that Khellek should actually be in another adjascent square (N17? That would allow Basher7 to move down to L19, which would then set Tarrk up to move to N21 - then both Dragonshields would be flanked).

Aimhirghin could help some - since Tarrk was missed he could use his Cunning Bard ability to slide the Minotaur one square, leaving him with only a shift to complete the move (and avoid an AoO).

 

[Leif]

OOC: We haven't had a map for awhile because folks just started moving a lot. (Let's keep OOC stuff in the OOC thread, please, this post being the last exception to that rule, hopefully. This thread is getting awfully cluttered with extraneous junk. Mostly my fault, I admit, but still.....) I'll get an updated map up asap. (Probably tonight?) And I tried to convey that I am ruling that Tarrk can, in fact flank the K. Dragonshield as desired, thanks to Aimhirghin's attack on the K. Dragonshield, no sliding required. (This time.)

BTW, Basher7 and Khellek are on two flanks of the northernmost K. Dragonshield, and Tarrk is now flanking the southernmost one thanks to Aimhirghin's distraction. That's the way it looks in my mind, anyway.

Which only leaves our murderous Eladrin Swordsman/Wizard unaccounted for.

Elerosse (Eladrin Wizard)

Elerosse sheathes his sword as he looks over at the melee combat his friends are in and calls forth a Magic Missile aimed at the dragonshield most on his left, fighting Tarrk.

Thanks Lou!

[sblock=Lou?]Why doesn't Elerosse have a Will defense listed?[/sblock]

I've tried to bring the map up-to-date. I had to guess at the place to where Tarrk shifted, but I took the opportunity to clear Aimhirghin's field of fire so he can help take on the Dragonshield with his ranged powers like he's been doing.

Khellek no longer has the Kobold Dragonshield marked because Basher7 hit him after he was marked.

Also, Elerosse used his Magic Missile power against the Kobold Dragonshield that Tarrk and Aimhirghin are fighting, and he struck it for 9 hp damage. so it is now is -33 hp, and looking pretty bloodsoaked. The one Basher7 and Khellek are fighting is still -19 hp, and just barely bloodied.

Both Dragonshields miss Tarrk and Basher7.

Previous post edited. Current map added and round resolved.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Aimhirghin Maolán

Keeping his attention firmly on his chosen enemy, he again sends a stream of mocking invective (1d20+4=21) at the bloody thing. This time the Kobold's ego takes a beating (1d6+4=7), and it begins to lose hope that it'll ever be able to strike a solid blow against the mighty Tarrk. Aimhirghin gives a satisifed nod as he sees his mockery strike home.

[sblock=Actions]Standard Action:

Vicious Mockery (At-Will, CHA vs. Will) vs. KD at M20. In addition to the damage, that Dragonshield is at -2 TH until the end of Aimhirghin's next turn.
