Lost Eberron 4E Style: Combat over, Level up!

[EvolutionKB]

Lorn concentrates on his sphere, moving it into the group of enemies. It sputters and hisses in the rain, but it's magic is not affected. The sphere scorches the back of the intelligent undead, for it's attention is now on the warlock who singled it out with his magic.

[sblock=ooc]Just need one damage roll for the sphere. I just took the first one. Don't forget, you need to be within 10 squares or the effect ends.[/sblock]

The creature strides away from the burning orb, and slashes at the dwarf with it's vile claws. The creature leaves several red trails along Thormir's arm as it carves away flesh and steals his vitality. The creature, faster than the dwarf can even realize leaps away, and hisses at shifter, blood dripping from it's claws.

[sblock=ooc]Creature moves to Thormir, attacks for 20 to hit does 10 damage and Thormir loses a healing surge. The creature then shifts next to Stellan.[/sblock]

The remaining armored skeleton armors begins to heat up, and smoke curls up from beneath the chainmail. The undead thrusts it's blade through the opening in the ship's hull, towards Xandren. The blade scrapes harshly along the warrior's armor, before catching and piercing underneath. The warforged gives the skeleton his full attention.

[sblock=ooc]Skeleton attacks Xandren and hits with a 25. He takes 5 damage and is marked by the skeleton.[/sblock]

Xandren gathers himself after being attacked by the armored skeleton, and then swings back at the undead creature. Though the armored skeleton manages to avoid the brunt of the blow, it is distracted enough by the flaming orb next to it that the blade still manages to graze it in the chest and knock a few ribs off into the damp sand.

[sblock=Mechanics]Minor action - Warforged Resolve, healing Xandren for 3 HP and giving him 3 temp HP.

Standard action - Reaping Strike against S2.

[Redclaw]

Stellan's teeth clench together as he stares at the dessicated face of the undead monstrosity. Determined to end the blight it represents, he brings his axe around in a vicious attack. His eyes lock onto the creature's gaze, daring it to focus its attention on him.

Hesh shoulder rushes the bag of bones next to him, hitting hard and fast. It rattles and topples into the wet sand. Stepping to the side, he looks at the burning ball across from him. Damn that thing is hot!

Ack! That hurt! grunts Thormir, and he immediately retaliates: a large hand of flames appears around the undead monstruosity, and attempts to grapple it and forcibly move it farther from the warlock.

Hearing the sounds of combat working their way around the backside of the ship Lorn peered out the crack. Stellan seemed to be fighting that monstrosity alone, he had to help him. Concentrating on the rolling ball of fire he directed toward the undead creature. When it was close enough that Lorn could feel the heat of it, it lashed out a gout of fire at the abomination.

Xandren, in the narrow confines of the ship is forced to thrust his long fullblade at the skeleton outside. The skeleton is distracted by the burning heat of the sphere next to him, and the weapon passes the undead's shield, though it doesn't penetrate the creature's chain armor. A few ribs fall to the sand nevertheless. Even with the falling rain and wet sand, they begin to smolder from the heat of the sphere.

Stellan locks eyes with the undead horror, focusing his primal power on the creature. The pair trade strikes and parries until the shifter goes for blood. The creature is much quicker than it seems, and the undead easily duck under Stellan's axe.

Hesh spins his double flail above his head, making a sound that cuts through the pounding rain. In one motion he brings one end of the weapon around and crashes it into the side of the undead. It shakes and rumbles before falling to the sand. The warlord steps to the side, and squints in the heat of the sphere. Damn that thing is hot!

Thormir forces a retreat from the undead creature that wounded him. Ack! That hurt! The warlock retaliates, and a flaming hand appears next the undead. The claws of the hand scratch the undead leaving nasty wounds on it's chest. Before the undead can react, the hands grasps the creature, sliding it through the sand. The undead howls as the hand dissipates, leaving it to collect itself. Thormir waves a hand at the undead skeleton facing off against the warforged and the hobgoblin, flames briefly mark the creature as a target vulnerable to his infernal power.

Lorn hearing the battle near him, and seeing the shifter in trouble, directs his sphere closer to the undead monstrosity. His intentions of strikes the creature with the sphere are ruined when the a flaming hand hurts the creature, and moves it further away from the sphere. The wizard hestitates while the undead continues to assault The Lost.

[sblock=Oni] The sphere is now too far away to make the attack. Go ahead and choose another action, and I'll ad hoc it in.[/sblock]

After ducking the shifter's blow, the undead snarls, hopping from foot to foot. The creature slashes at the shifter with it's claws. Long bloody streaks appear on the shifter's legs as the creature draws blood. The shifter get's even angrier and begins to froth at the mouth. As it hops off of one foot, the creature cartwheels around Stellan. It completes it acrobatic move, and the creature closes the distance once again to the dwarf, to Thormir's horror.

[sblock=ooc]The undead attacks Stellan. Hits with a 28. 9 damage and Stellan loses a surge. Stellan bloodied. Undead shifts away, then moves to Thormir.[/sblock]

The smoldering undead skeleton continues to focus on the warforged, to great effect. After the ribs hit the ground, the warforged briefly looks down at them, to see what they are. With the warforged distracted, the skeleton strikes again, cutting a deep wound in his stomach. Some of Xandren's natural toughness helped to negate the severity of the wound.

[sblock=ooc] My "death" die continues to roll well. Skeleton hits Xandren with a 26, 9 damage. That takes can of Xandren's THP. [/sblock]

[garyh]

Xandren steps back out of the ship, now that only one foe is immediately in front of the opening anyway, and attempts to lift his spirits through the destruction of the skeleton, but his swing misses wide.

[sblock=Mechanics]Move action - Shift to M13.

Standard action - Comeback Strike against S2.

Comeback Strike vs S2 (1d20 8=13, 2d12 4=21)

Hits AC 13 for 21 damage, and on a hit, Xandren can and will use a healing surge. Comeback Strike is reliable and not expended on a miss. Marking S2. Assuming I missed as far as my stat block goes.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]

Totally missed that Thormir slid him, in that case Lorn would have rolled the sphere again, instead of attacking, to T16 so the badguy would at least take the auto damage.

[EvolutionKB]

Lorn hearing the battle near him, and seeing the shifter in trouble, directs his sphere closer to the undead monstrosity.

The flaming sphere rolls closer to the undead, catches the undead's tatters of clothes on fire. The dancing flames send eerie shadows across the battlefield After ducking the shifter's blow, the undead snarls, hopping from foot to foot, in the suddenly hot sand. The creature slashes at the shifter with it's claws. Long bloody streaks appear on the shifter's legs as the creature draws blood. The shifter get's even angrier and begins to froth at the mouth. As it hops off of one foot, the creature cartwheels around Stellan. It completes it acrobatic move, and the creature closes the distance once again to the dwarf, to Thormir's horror.

The smoldering undead skeleton continues to focus on the warforged, to great effect. After the ribs hit the ground, the warforged briefly looks down at them, to see what they are. With the warforged distracted, the skeleton strikes again, cutting a deep wound in his stomach. Some of Xandren's natural toughness helped to negate the severity of the wound.

Xandren's seeing one skeleton go down, attempts to bolster his sprits. He arcs his blade in the opening again, but the undead, continues to thwart the warforged. This time the undead's shield deflects the blow wide, causing it to be stuck in the side of the ship momentarily.
