[QUOTE="Truename, post: 5831000, member: 78255"] My players reminded me that I left out their amazing recovery. Here's what one of them wrote: "It was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself... The druid was in the lead, with the artificer, the gremlin/goblin/cat-thing rider, and the goliath pulling up the rear. The druid disappeared as the Earth swallowed him up. The artificer and goliath decided to follow him down ("Eh, it's not fourthcore"), and the other guy [an NPC :angel:] veered off. The druid had used his daily flying power in an earlier battle, and didn't have the strength (athletics) to get a grip on the wall so took a tumble. The artificer was in a similar situation (no flying power, not able to grab anything). The goliath managed to grab the side, but seeing our plight, let go and dove after the artificer. He used his 1-round flying power [divine boon] and his raw strength to slow them down before they hit the ground. Then they stumbled and scratched their heads on the spikes. [The artificer also used a power that gave them damage resistance to the spikes.] The druid changed shape and turned in to a swarm of insects to avoid the spike damage, reformed between spikes, and used his parkour (acrobatics) skills to roll and distribute the force of the landing. Final result, the goliath and artificer took 5HP damage and the druid took 20HP damage." Okay, okay, so I didn't kill them, or even hurt them that much, but it was a memorable night of gaming. A great example of 4e at its cinematic best. [/QUOTE]
