Lord Ogglebottoms Odd Tasks: All in a Nights Work (DM: DMDanW, Judge: Renau1g)

[DMDanW]

Gloom charge the human bracketing Thorn, barely connecting but knocking him out.

Gellan snarls silently as the other halfling ducks out of sight, then watches as Thorn is beset by enemies on all sides. Quickly, he draws one of the broad-bladed tan'gat from its sheath on his back and throws himself into the thick of the melee with a shrill war cry.

Zharne dives forward with his jaws open but in the last moment he missteps and the jaws shuts closed just ahead of the goblin missing their target by only an inch

Thorn growls through the pain, ripping his leg away in a crimson mist of blood and foam from the guard dog's jaw. He whips his long-spear from his back in a wide arch, and barely grazes the fur of the muscled hound.

Jeering at the wolf crouched in front of him as he deftly escapes damage, the goblin before Zharne suddenly screws up his face as though attempting a feat of concentration too great for him. Then he snaps awake again and his eyes go wide and a faint, violet-hued aura fades into view around him. Tiny flames flicker about him, hampering his movements and distracting him.

Jehad moves up and fires a bolt of arcane energy at the first dog, hitting squarely and causing blood to start leaking out its ears.

The goblin regains some confidence from Zharnes missed attack and steps out from behind the barrel and around Zharne, swinging at him as he does, but missing his target completely.

The Halfling reappears out of the shadows and fires another stone towards Gellan, missing yet again.

The goblin with the crossbow repositions himself and takes aim. The bolt flies true and strikes Gloom with a solid thud, burying itself deeply into the shifter.

The dogs each begin to circle both Thorn and Gellan, each one snapping at and sinking their teeth into their prey.

Raj and Wendel both take advantage of the opening the dogs provided them and rushed forward, maces swinging down and catching both Thorn and Gellan.

"You will harm my companions over my death body!" shouts Gloom. He tells that with a strange conviction in his voice. It doesn't sound like a challenge, but like a fact of life like the sky is blue. After that, Gloom close on the wounded dog and strike at him, but miss it.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Call of Challenge: Every enemy within 3 squares of O7 is under my divine sanction (Marked and takes 9 damage if they doesn't attack me)
Move: Shift to N6 (or N7 if there is not enough place because of the crate in N6)
Standard:Holy Strike on Dog (1d20+9=14, 1d8+9=14)[/SBLOCK]

 

[Banesfinger]

Fighting back the pain of yet another deep bite, Thorn retaliates. He slashes at the guard dog in a frenzy of jabs. The sharp point bites deeply into the dog.

[sblock=Actions]
Standard: Covering Attack (encounter) against Guard Dog #1
1d20+7 (vs. AC)=21 -- at hit!
2d10+4 (damage)=14, reducing the dog to 2 HPs.

P.S.: this attack allows an ally to shift 2 squares, but there are no allies adjacent to Guard Dog #1
[/sblock]

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]EDIT: I'm next to him, so I'll shift to P5.

By the way, both dog, Wendel, Raj and goblin at Q1 are all under my Divine sanction. The last one will most likely try to attack me, for the others, they will either take 9 damage for not attacking me, or get some AoO to try to get to me [/SBLOCK]

[sblock=Wendels Reroll]
Reroll was a 19 vs AC, still a hit.
I guess that uber-healer you've got better start pulling his weight

[Sblock=Velmont & Renau1g]
Just looking over the Call of Challenge power and Glooms character sheet.

I believe there is a slight error on Glooms sheet. The write-up of Call of Challenge power states "Effect: Each target is subject to your divine sanction until the end of your next turn."

Glooms character sheet reads "Effect: Each target is subject to your divine challenge until the end of your next turn."

Now Gloom has the Mighty Challenge feat, which reads "Prerequisite : Paladin , divine challenge power
Benefit : Whenever a target of your divine challenge takes damage from that power , it takes extra radiant damage equal to your Strength modifier."

Divine Sanction reads "Until the mark ends , the target takes radiant damage equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier the first time each round it makes an attack that doesn't include you as a target.

So long story short, Glooms Call of Challenge will deal 3+Charisma modifier (+2; for a total of 5) damage and not benefit from the Might Challenge feat, as that only effects a divine challange, and not a divine sanction.

Make sense to you guys?

[SBLOCK=OOC]Good point here... I think you are right... sadly [/SBLOCK]

"Graah!" snarls Gellan as the burly human's mace slips past his guard. With a feral grin, he draws out his second tan'gat, then holds the pair of weapons before him in a stylized pose. The halfling takes a deep breath, then explodes in a fluury of movement, diving to one side to slap the wounded dog alongside its head, dropping it in a senseless heap. Without a pause, Gellan rolls to a new position, finishing his move with a slash at the same human that attacked him.
